Met with that System Window, I only thought of one thing: this system was somewhat trashy. Apart from  telling me the numerical value of my stats and the added bonuses, thanks to the system, there's nothing else.

The only feature of this system was the Supported List and the things below it.

Did I have to list Yuko's name as someone I was supporting? Let's see.

[Ding! Add Sugawara Yuko as a Supported Individual?]

I had just thought of it and this system immediately responded. At least it did not lag.

”Yes.”

[Added Sugawara Yuko]

[Support Bonus Activated]

[Select type of Support:

A. Level 1 Physical Boost

B. Level 1 Psyche Boost

C. Level 1 Health Boost]

”B.”

This sounded like a permanent effect boost as long as she's listed as one of my Supported Individual. So boosting her Psyche was a must for her Foresight.

[Chosen Level 1 Psyche Boost: Adding 0.2 Intelligence to Supported Individuals]

[Number of Supported Individual: 1]

[Current Stats Bonus: 5% of the average stats of the Supported Individuals]

I see. This was somewhat useful. Maybe it's not as trashy as it seems. And the experience percentage of the system started accumulating, albeit slowly. Maybe it would level up by itself as long as I am supporting someone? Ah no. It should be when the Supported Individual was near me. I had to test this later.

Maybe if my system leveled up, the number of Supported Individuals I can register would increase. That's probably how it was, right?

And then there's my own ability. It indicated 5%. Did that mean if it reaches 100% it will also level up? That was a huge possibility.

”Eh? What happened? You got a System?”

Yuko, who was startled, probably because of the sudden notification that I added her as a Supported Individual, asked.

”Yes. And I just tried it. Anyway, it's called Support Character System.”

Hearing the name of my System, Yuko giggled cutely.

”That's funny Dai-kun. My System is called Advanced Hero System.”

What the hell? This world was so unfair. You should at least give me the Support Hero System, you know? Err. Wait. Advanced, did that mean that it was an upgraded system?

Right, my system could level up but hers being advanced speaks the 3 years she was here. I wondered what her numerical stats were. Ah, I should ask. It would not be bad to ask, right? Or was it a form of invading her privacy?

”Even with my high clarity, I still feel overwhelmed.”

”That's natural. The System corresponds to the inherent energy of this world. That's why I call it World Energy. Most people in this world will receive a corresponding System depending on their fates. It can be upgraded but the process is too hard or too long. The way it accumulates experience is still a mystery.”

The air around Yuko became more dignified. She was like a beacon, shining brightly. Was this because of her System?

”Does that mean yours is already an upgraded version of your system?”

I voiced out my thoughts about her system to confirm it.

”Yes. It got upgraded twice already. What I initially got was Beginner Hero System.”

She nodded and explained. But is this fine? Telling someone about your system. Ah. But we're the same world so I guess knowing each other's secret is fine.

”I see. I think I somewhat get it now. So what should we do?”

”Wait for someone to pick us up. I saw it with my Foresight. Someone will soon come.”

Eh? Apparently, the portal did not have a fixed location? This world might still be in the process of developing. But now, it was being attacked by forces who wanted to destroy this world. Or maybe, all the worlds. What could they gain by destroying it though? What was their motive?

Ah. I realized there was no use thinking about that for now. Now, my top priority was to protect this Hero, right? She would surely save this world and, in turn, save our own from the threat of being destroyed.

Despite all this, I was still no Messiah. This was just a job. I might decide to run away once my life hangs in the brink of life and death. Well, if I could save this fiancee of mine then I would.

”Ah. Wait. I forgot something.”
