Reality System - Chapter 39 Almost Fried?
‘Oh right boss, I’ve been so excited about the portal I forgot to ask how can I unlock the second and third new sections? and have let them star unlocked in the first place?’ Ren asked the Reality System.
[Well, I would’ve let it stay open if I could but that was all I could do with the price you paid, the prices would’ve been multiplied if you wanted them to stay unlocked from the moment I added them, which cannot be done as you don’t have that much life span and the other requirements.] Reality System said.
‘So that’s how it is… but how can I unlock them? what are the requirements boss?’ Ren asked again.
[Well, you don’t need to know that for now as even if you knew, you won’t be able to fulfill the requirements, I’ll tell you when the right time comes.] Reality System said.
‘Uh… okay boss.’ He responded.
‘Now let’s see the next thing in the upgraded list of the system… this is fun.’ Ren thought with excitement.
Then he continued his thinking. ‘Okay, now let’s check [Memory Adviser], what are you exactly…’
[All the endless foreign memories have been collected by the Reality System and made into: [Memory Adviser]]
[Memory Adviser]
Description: Suggests and plans the best path possible for the host in each stage of the game, of course, it comes with a little price.
“Damn…” ‘Then tell me why I’m sooo light-headed, so it was because the endless memories are gone from my brain…’ Ren thought, he was feeling very light headed since he had woken up, even though he had noticed it, he didn’t bother thinking about it as he thought it was probably he had just woken up. Other than that, he was too occupied with being hungry and the thought of eating something so he didn’t care about that.
‘Boss, what is this exactly, how does it work?’ Ren asked.
[Just wait, you will know naturally when the time comes, why so impatient?] Reality System said.
‘haha, not impatient boss, just curious.’ Ren answered.
Then he thought, ‘Okay then, but thanks for taking those memories from inside my mind, they were like torture sometimes.’
[Well, you had a long way to achieve access to those memories as your intelligence is too low at the moment, so I decided to collect all the memories and instead put a skill in your head that would be helpful, even though this made the requirements to be fulfilled harsher, still it was worth it as now, your brain won’t be fried in the long run.] Reality System said with the same tone as always.
‘WHAT? my brain was frying? why didn’t I know that? why didn’t you tell me? and how?’ Ren thought impatiently inside his head trying to get to the answers faster impatiently.
[Well, the quantity of the memories were too much for your head, so your head was losing some of its functions and making you a little retarded in some aspects and if that kept going on, you would have either died or turned into a vegetable at last, but now you’re fine and if you act retarded in any way, then that’s the true you, nothing related to the memories as they are not there anymore.]
‘Wow, why didn’t you tell me thi… wait, let me guess, because there was no point in telling me as I couldn’t do anything about it. isn’t that true boss?’ Ren thought while being a little upset by how the system seemed to just hide important stuff from Ren just because he couldn’t do anything about it.
[Hahaha, well, that’s true. Anyway forget about it, check the other stuff.] Reality System replied with a laugh.
‘I DON’T WANNA FREAKING FORGET ABOUT IT.’ Ren thought inside, but this time to himself so the system won’t get angry at him as he didn’t want that honestly.
‘Okay let me check the next thing then.’ Ren thought again and then continued looking at the Reality System List showing in front of him ‘So the next one I need to check is… [Game Laws and Physics], well, I can pretty much guess what this does but shoot, let’s see what’s this about, check.’
[Game Laws and Physics]
Description: The laws of the game will apply to you from now on in reality, which means, for example, you won’t die until your HP hits zero.
“GREAT! Just as I thought, it’s something great! with this, I don’t need to be scared of dying all of a sudden or some other things.” Ren said out loud talking to himself in his room.
But as he thought about this something suddenly came to his mind ‘But if I have the [Game Laws and Physics] now…Wouldn’t that mean I wouldn’t have needed the [Memory Adviser]? As you know my body would be like a game? Boss isn’t that right?’
[Well, this was a good thought, I admit that, BUT, you’re wrong… it would’ve been even more dangerous as this [Game Laws and Physics] is also another reason and almost the most important reason why I collected your memories into a skill. I mean, just think, like that your HP would keep decreasing until none was left, which is even more dangerous!] Reality System answered him.
Thinking about this sent shivers down Ren’s spine as Reality System was right, if the problem was not fixed and his HP recovery was worse than the damage he took, he would naturally die soon when his HP hits zero if there was no potions or food or something that recovered his HP and even if there was something that could recover his HP, one day he might die in his sleep, just because he overslept!
‘You’re right boss! thank you for doing this for me!’ Ren thought inside his head thanking the Reality system, this was a heartfelt sincere thanks from Ren to Reality System as he was really grateful for what he did.
[Hahaha, it’s okay, I couldn’t just let you die now, could I? or maybe I could, haha, that would’ve been a funny way to die, to die because you overslept! hahaha] Reality System said teasing Ren a little.
‘…’ Hearing this from Reality System, made Ren regret thanking him so sincerely and for being grateful, he thought, wish he could take back his thank you, but he knew there was no medicine for regret in this world.
