To be able to will this information to appear is very empowering.

'And I only desire more. If I'm not careful, I might get lost in it.'

My thoughts are broken by the rustling of bed sheets, and the slight movement of two little bodies. I couldn't help but smile while looking at the resting faces. I tangled my fingers in Asuna's golden hair, and gazed at Erin's gentle face. Looking around the room, I see the golden hue of the morning sun break into the room through a slightly open window. We were in the room assigned to us three, as Tyr decided we would be an official party in the future anyways.

'I won't get lost in something like desire... I do not want to lose these two.'

After orientation, I had a serious talk with myself. There is a lot of talk about power, and its growth, but do I really need to progress on the path of power? While I do not know why someone needs power, I have decided I'll be fine doing anything, as long as it is with or for these two...

I was lost in the drowsy atmosphere, when the following messages spread across my vision, and played through my mind:

'Huh? Why is it spazzing like that?'

'Now this is odd. The system has never talked to me this directly, and what the hell is a perk...?'

'Is this thing evolving?'
