First Encounter
It's not like I have to decide now or that my future path will be set in stone whatever I decide to do. I do need to figure out if there's anything I'm missing with my abilities because nobody has ever complained about being too strong, aside from one bald guy who wanted to be a hero for fun. Since my system seems similar to games I've played in the past, is there anything missing that differs from those. Guess this is a good time to ask Goggle.
Matt begins to type a few questions into the search bar of his browser. After just a few minutes of searching, he finds that his system seems fairly 'complete' and that it covers most of the bases for the average role playing game. Unfortunately it does miss the 'role' aspect of those games.
"System, can I obtain a class through you?"-Matt
"Processing request, an update would be required. Also you would need to meet the requirement of unlocking this upgrade."-System
"What are the requirements? And I finally get to find out why you are just in beta huh?"-Matt
*Ding* New Mission obtained
Defeat an inhuman enemy above your level.(0/1)
Reward: System Upgrade Module-Class System available
"Reminder, inhuman enemies are not included in natives of your planet."-System
"What does that mean System? How would I fight something that isn't native of your planet?"-Matt
"Fortunately host, there are a growing number of foreign creatures currently on your planet. You could also attempt to make an ability granting you the ability to leave your world, but at your current level you wouldn't be able to choose your destination or return to this world."-System
"You don't just mean planets in my solar system do you?"-Matt
"I am naturally including extraterrestrial creatures of your dimension as foreign creatures, as well as creatures from other planes and dimensions."-System
"So there's a multiverse? Isn't that just science fiction?"-Matt
"Can you prove that there isn't an infinite number of you in an infinite number of worlds such as this one? Just like you had no idea there was mana before you woke up last night or that there would be a semi-sentient symbiotic creature that would attach to you and break the shackles of humanity in you one day, there can also be a multitude of universes. Some of which I might add could have a version of you that has already ascended as a Messiah or an Apollyon. There could also be versions of you named 'Mary' if you understand what I mean host."
"I understand what a Messiah is but what's an Apollyon System?"-Matt
"A Destroyer host, someone who brings a total calamity. As the power system I am based off of would call it, a Demon King would perhaps be more easily understood by you."-System
"How could I ever destroy the world though? I might not be a saint but I still believe there is no reason to ever abuse my power against the innocents."-Matt says defensively
"These alternate universes change small things as they deviate farther from your own universe. If this is universe A, then B would have made you best friend Carter instead of Carl. Universe C would have made Carl into Caitlynn and D would have made her your wife eventually. When we get to say universe Z you would have experienced a traumatic event that flips your personality on its head." -System
"But I still can't believe it."-Matt
"This is a hypothetical since I don't have the computational ability to peer into other universes with my current build. Perhaps someone close to you was brutally tortured or taken advantage of, such as this wife of yours, your mother, maybe your future children. You weren't there to save them and terrible people did such things for their own amusement. The self hatred for not saving them and the external hatred for such acts even occurring in the first place could cause a reversal of your personality that attains power through evil and hatred.You could start with slaughtering the ones responsible and then continue killing people like them. Eventually you would see them in every person and continue your slaughter. You could sacrifice people to demons for power or just be killing them for XP. With enough power and continued lack of remorse or conscience of your actions, you would one day realize that everything is gone from that world, except a smoldering hatred burning within you. Just a hypothetical of course after analyzing your current personality and psychologically evaluating you from my recent observations."- System
"Thanks for that imagery System. That...That's a lot to think about."-Matt
"Remember that is a different universe though and there is a possibility that it exists as well. That Matt has had different life experiences that built a different mentality within him."-System
(And if that Matt is as strong as I said, he may one day come to challenge you for living a happier life than him. Possibly creating you in his image by giving you similar experiences)-The System thinks to itself without telling its host.
