Chapter 42 - 40 (1/2)
Unknown location, underground.
A sleeping young man with darkened eye bags was awaken by an alarm from the main computer. The youth had been suffering from lack of sleep since the disappearance of their Master because he was always bothered by Blu. That stubborn kid was insisting that he should still monitor the systems as he said that Master could be there.
'Why would Master joined this system travellers when he was the one who created the mother system?' Ryder rolled his eyes as he thought of this. He then scrolled through the monitor of the main computer to see what happened that made the alarm rang.
”The heck?!”
------
”Finally! We could now put a seal on him,” the witch suddenly stated as she presented the finished spell, it was in a form of a red liquid inside the bottle.
”Izi? Izi? Is it now finished? Can we open him up now?” The girl with excitement on her voice stated.
”Now, now, don't be in a haste.”
'This twisted brats,' the young man thought as he looked with glinting scarlet red eyes.
He gained the first part of his memory from the so-called system. The system that suddenly talked on his head was a control system under the hold of the mother system. It allowed him to see his memory about what happened before he fell into coma.
The young man had a deal with a deity in order to gained the blood of Asura - he's a descendant of the Creator that was the ruler of the deities. As Asura would picked another successor, Zero knew this so he wanted to get a hold of that power.
Though, he accumulated this memory , he was still confused. Why did he wanted that power? What was the use of it?
That deal between him and the deity happened hundred years ago but what was their deal? What did he bargained in order to have Asura's blood?
He knew that he had now the bloodline of the descendant of the Creator, from the statements of the cat-eared girl that kept talking with herself.
[”System, how many memory files left? Can you download it all?”]
[Memory file contained three files, downloaded one out of three. Command prompt…downloading memory file 2 and 3…]
[Denied. Restricted.]
Zero frowned as he heard this. Restricted? Who restricted him?
------
A young man on the main computer sneezed as he tried to blocked the system bug who was accessing the memories of the Master.
”I'll totally annihilate this crazy bug! All the bugs can't escape m--- No! He slipperily got away!”
Ryder cursed as he located the system bug which suddenly disappeared with no traces left. He ruffled his messy hair as his red eyes with darkened eyebags looked for his communicator.
'I need to call the others. There's a system bug that got escaped!'
------
[Host, you're restricted by the mother system. Do you want to access Manual mode?]
Not knowing why, the young man agreed to it. If the mother system denied him, then he'll deny that thing, too.
[We shall now operate independently.]
Zero noticed that the witch was now nearing him with a red bottled liquid on her hand while the other girl who was named Aries was grinning with joy as she readied the scalpel.
They're really going to dissect him up. The young man thought that they weren't serious but it was the opposite.
”You can drink this potion so that you'll feel less pain,” Izi advised as she grabbed the jaw of the young man in order to forcefully open his mouth.
With scarlet red eyes, he glared at the witch that made her paused, momentarily due to being intimidated by the youth's death glare.
”Just let him drink it now, Izi! I can't wait anymore!”
”Yes, yes, Aries loves blood of deities! Truly heavenly!”
As they were distracted on their excitement, Zero inquired the system.
[”Do you have any escape item or something?”]
[Do you want to access the system space?]
'System space! It would do right now.'
The young man easily agreed as the system started preparing him to teleport inside the space. While Izi was about to let the youth drink the potion, the young man suddenly smirked as he stated, ”Bye.”
Then he disappeared from the spot, even the ice structured table was brought with him.
Aries dropped her scalpel with surprised, ”What h-happened, I-izi?” With her shaky voice she asked the dumbfounded woman.
Izi finally regained clarity as she helplessly smiled, ”Well, he escaped. The Circus got him.”
”Eh?!”
-----
Zero saw the familiar place that he migrated into, it was the black space. So he unintentionally accessed the system space at that time? The young man smiled, knowing that he could go a cultivation spree inside this space as it had a very abundant energy.
[”So this is the system space?”]
[Host, if you want to know the privileges within the system space, you can open the display screen.]
[”Open display screen?”]
[Command prompt…allowed.]
A status screen immediately appeared infront of the young man. It displayed several usual descriptions like his name, skills, stat points, and others that the youth just scrolled through not giving a glance to it as he looked for the privileges of the system space.
He changed into another screen and saw the privileges.
[System space - a black space that was suspended between time and space.
Privileges:
• Resting space (regeneration)
