I Became A System

"Boss, we're going to exchange with Mumon's group," a seeming leader announced.

"Go." The alleged boss of the bandits nodded and sat on a throne-inspired chair on the last side of the cave.

When the group was about to leave and approach Ellena's location, she shot a thread of lightning near their shoulder and immediately knocked them.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

A simultaneous thud sound emerged and echoed, dazing them. They looked at the source and were shocked to see a human figure in black, flickering her eyes with some light of evil.

It was just their imagination, and after it, they all exclaimed. "We're under attack!"

Without wasting any seconds, Ellena rushed to them and launched threads of lightning, electrifying everyone who got touched by it. And realizing that their enemy was a mage, they approached Ellena with cautiousness, but alas, they failed as they eventually got hit by the lightning.

A brawl happened but in favor of Ellena. From 5 to 8, the number she defeated increased.

This sight alarmed the boss of the bandits, making him irritated and agitated a little.

He stood up in fury and exclaimed. "WHO DARES TO ATTACK MY PACK!"

Like a crazy hyena, he rushed and pushed his people to attack Ellena, but alas, he was also hit by lightning and eventually lost consciousness stupidly.

Ellene didn't even notice him, but when everyone started to panic, she eventually discovered that she had already defeated their boss.

"The boss was out! She defeated the boss!"

"Shit! This is a nightmare!"

No one was spared, even with their cries. As her breath became heavy, she didn't stop and just continued launching some lightning at them, declining their numbers to 3… 2… 1…

Thud!

At the last thud, Ellena gasped for air. She was breathing heavily as the tax of the ability almost hit her.

"I can't believe only 45% of my stamina was left. I need to increase my stamina in this matter. But how?... Ugh… Let's just think of it later," she debated herself as she finally took some rest after that fight.

In her mind, it wasn't a fight at all. It was as if she was just hysterically launching her lightning in every direction she felt a presence near her. It wasn't a good scene, to be precise.

She sighed after realizing that she had just done it underhandedly, but after some thought, she thought that it was appropriate.

"If Aaron was in this, he'd be thinking that any variable that would make you an advantage was the best way. Thus, I should not think of it anymore." then she scoffed at her rest.

[Congratulations on freeing this cave, dear lady.]

"Ah!"

She almost lost herself when she heard a sound coming from nowhere. That sound was like a strange female voice speaking in a closed room, echoing some of her words. However, to be precise, the voice was like a mechanically produced or artificial voice of a lady.

Ellena pondered and looked around her. No one conscious was present.

[Don't be surprised. I am not an enemy. To be exact, I'm here to reward you.]

After thinking about it for a second time, Ellena finally realized that the cave was talking to her.

Indeed, the cave, no one else. It wasn't a result of madness that she thought that the cave was talking to her, but because she remembered Aaron.

When she remembered the first time Aaron talked to her, she already realized that there were at least places, people, objects, or even anything that could have the same mechanism as Aaron's mechanism.

Not thinking of it as a big deal, she sighed and tried to have a conversation with the sound.

"Reward? What do you mean reward?" she asked.

[You freed one of the ancient dots of the worldly seal. Therefore, I have the task of granting you a reward, at least a wish to be precise.]

'Nothing will be lost if I wish I hadn't. But just to be sure…'

Having doubts about it, Ellena asked another question.

"If I ask for something, nothing will be exchanged over it or even result in something somewhat problematic?"

[Of course, no. My reward is only for you, and it will not harm the environment or take anything away from you.]

"I see…."

Ellena remained silent and thought of it well. There's nothing to lose. Then, she must ask for something that she eagerly wanted to happen.

And thinking of it well, the face of Aaron stumbled upon her mind, making her smile with a sweet smile as she already decided what she'd ask for as a reward.

"If what you're saying is true, then… I want you to grant Aaron my system, a proper body, and a physical one that can interact with others like me. And the condition of it as a precise wish, my abilities will not be lost as I merely wanted Aaron to have a body," Ellena bluntly said.

"Can you grant it?"

Without wasting any second, the voice answered.

[Yes, I can grant it to you, but I must give you a task as it is a hard wish you wanted.]

"Huh? What task? If this is about destroying the world or harming others, I won't do it. We still have a clue for Aaron to have a body, if I must say."

The bluntness of Ellena was filling up the cave, and the voice didn't mind how she was being wise with her words.

[I see… What I only want is for you to save one of my sisters. Any of them, and for you to be granted that wish, I will imprint my essence on you so that my sisters will recognize you as my proxy. If you can save one of them, then your wish will be granted by one of sister.]

Ellena was speechless. Did the voice just ask her to do some work? Nevertheless, it wasn't a problematic one, and accomplishing it won't cause harm, isn't it?

"Okay. What are you, by the way?"

[I am an ancient dot of the worldly seal. If you save others, you'll eventually know what I truly am.]

"I see… Okay, I get it. How can I save one?"
