Chapter 612: About the systems (1) (2/2)
”One thing you need to understand is that… My system… No, let me start from a different direction.”
With my thoughts moving back to the Bonger, I realised that this wasn't the topic that I could explain as easily as I thought. Without the extensive background of playing games and generally learning the paradigms that governed the life on earth, understanding some concepts that were obvious to me might prove challenging to someone that never ever heard about them in the first place.
”Let me get it from this direction. You should still remember Bonger, don't you?”
Instead of turning the entire talk into my private monologue, I decided that forcing Eve to interact during this talk would make it easier for her to understand those complicated concepts.
”Yeah. He was quite strange and I recall you claiming that he is a system of yours…”
The look of hesitation on Eve's face was all that I required to understand what was problematic for her in the attempt to understand the concept of systems.
”You see, Bonger… he is quite specific for a system. For most of the people, the system limits itself to designing tasks, targets and easy ways to achieve them. Those systems were created by the gods that pulled people like me from earth to this world so that they could quickly achieve greatness and advance to the higher realm. That's also the reason why this entire city is madly set on ascending to the higher realm, as it is the main target of the people that have it easy to become a powerhouse.”
Taking a few breaths to sort my thoughts, I cast a quick glance to the crafting sphere of mine. Seeing that the prime materials were already neatly separated into different piles, I quickly came out with a simple mould of a knife before pushing the sphere to fill the imaginary form with the materials.
”On the other hand, there is Bonger. To this day I have no idea how, but there seems to be something broken inside him, that saved me from being just another element in the puzzle set by the so-called gods. Thanks to Bonger being a faulty system in the first place, not only I grew in a way different manner to others, but the Bonger managed to obtain a physical body for itself as well.”
Gazing at Eve for a moment, I could see that this way of explaining managed to solve her doubts a bit. Sadly, it would take me way longer to actually make her understand everything perfectly.
”If that's the case, then shouldn't you be more worried about your system… missing? I can't even recall when was the last time that I saw Bonger!”
