Chapter 23 - Regaining What Has Been Lost (1/2)
Ding!
'1 OS Point has been obtained.'
”Eh?” Aurus couldn't believe what he was looking at. He closed his nonexistent eyes and rubbed it with his nonexistent fingers, thinking that it was a dream. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes once more, only to see the notification screen still in front of him.
Thinking that he was still hallucinating, he pinched his nonexistent skin which caused him some mild pain, yet didn't let the notification screen go away.
Seeing that it wouldn't go away, Aurus couldn't help but sigh. Not long after, he bursted out in joy.
”WOOHOO! ANOTHER OS POINT!”
Although he took evolving into a higher existence level as his main priority, he still wanted to obtain another OS Point since for some reason it locked his memories and even delayed his skills from leveling up at the right time. At the moment, he wasn't even sure if his skills were at the correct level.
”Anyways, now that I know that evolving to a higher existence level gives me an OS point, I can now rest easy,” Aurus couldn't help but feel unimaginable joy while in the hell named Tempest Cliff.
”But wait a minute...” All of a sudden, a thought flashed in Aurus' mind since it seemed peculiar.
”System, why wasn't I given an OS point when I evolved to a B-grade Inanimate?”
Ding!
Of course, excluding skill level ups, the system would answer at the shortest instant possible.
'The user has not met the requirements to modify the system's OS.'
”Eh? What do you mean by that?” Aurus was confused. ”Am I lacking in level or something?”
Ding!
'The user has not met the minimum requirement for opening the OS back then, which was the Synchronization Rate. Though this system is based in the user's soul, the system can only undergo modification once the soul has a connection to the body.'
”Hmm...” Aurus pondered for a bit before shaking his head. ”Though it sounds like some nonsense to me, I guess there's a profound meaning to it.”
”Bah, who the hell cares? I got my OS Point! Open OS!”
Ding!

The Existence Evolution OS screen looked like it was untouched when compared to before, but compared to before, Aurus now had 2 points to spend rather than 1. Now with Aurus knowing where the OS points came from, he could now rest easy with the points being scarce...well it was still scarce but he knew how to get them at least.
Ever since he found out about the EEOS, the first thing he wanted to upgrade out of all the choices was the [Level Up Synchronization] option. He didn't want to fight at full power against his enemy before ultimately knowing his power was actually sealed.
