Christine felt her face fill with blood, heat up, and burn. A small sound escaped from somewhere in the back of her throat, a mortifying squeak. At that moment, she swore to herself that when this man died, he would be looking at her smiling face. The only thing keeping her hand from unleashing her powers was curiosity. Intense curiosity.

"My project is called Nihon, a tool that artificially creates massive amounts of System—far stronger than anything you've encountered here. It's more powerful than all of my previous accomplishments combined. However, there is still one missing piece."

Christine almost asked him what, but she stopped just in time. Her curiosity burned like an itch.
