Updates and Upgrades

As my journey through the boundless realm of the System continued, my powers reached new heights. The System, a cryptic enigma that had been a wellspring of surprises and growth, had climbed to an astounding level 7. With this upgrade came a formidable gift - the power to summon and control a staggering 70 individuals simultaneously, a force unparalleled by any I'd encountered before.

I had delved deep into the System's intricacies, uncovering an additional treasure trove. The character customization ability, one I'd honed through countless interactions, had risen to its pinnacle at level 5. The previous upgrades had been mere extensions of parameters and minor features, but at level 5, something profound had occurred. Now, I possessed the ability to manipulate mental attributes, a gift that held the potential to enhance intelligence, memory, reasoning, and dexterity.

The immediate impact of this newfound ability was nothing short of astonishing. With memory and intelligence at their zenith, I could master a diverse array of skills with an unprecedented speed. Within mere hours, I had conquered various musical instruments, delving into the harmonies and melodies as though I'd been a prodigy all my life. It was as though I'd ingested a concoction of limitless knowledge and boundless intellect.

However, I harbored grander aspirations for my newfound prowess. With my intelligence and memory maxed, I turned my focus toward the realm of finance. Stocks and investments, mysterious dances of the digital age, called to those who could decipher their intricacies. I assigned this monumental task to Albeda, one of my summons with an innate gift for financial endeavors. She embraced her new role with unwavering determination, and the results were nothing short of astounding.

Under Albeda's astute guidance, and with my hacking abilities amplifying her efforts, we manipulated stock markets with surgical precision. A combination of cyber-attacks and strategic stock shorting generated massive profits. Our initial investment of $100,000 quickly burgeoned into $5 million in a matter of days.

With our financial future secured, I pondered the strategic expansion of Rogue Retribution. Our summons remained largely concealed, making rare appearances in the public eye during critical operations. Yet, this untapped potential offered the opportunity to deploy sleeper agents within society, ready to respond in times of need or to bolster our forces.

In a masterful act of hacking, I crafted fabricated identities for each of my summons, endowing them with compelling backstories and even degrees in fields like criminal psychology and political science. They received starting funds and instructions to infiltrate various government agencies, serving as eyes and ears in the heart of power. With maxed-out mental attributes and meticulously forged backgrounds, their contributions were poised to deliver unparalleled results.

As I gazed toward the future, I contemplated the path of Rogue Retribution. The gang problem in L.A. had experienced a substantial decline, with the crime rate plummeting to unprecedented lows. The prospect of expansion into other states and the establishment of a new hideout loomed on the horizon. However, these grand endeavors required more power. Luckily, the System's cooldown had concluded, opening the door to new quests.

The quest menu was extensive, an eclectic assortment of challenges from various games, each offering unique rewards. A newly added "sort" feature eased my navigation through the myriad quests, streamlining the selection process.

In my quest, one particular challenge caught my attention – a trial presented by the game Guild of Legends. The task was deceptively simple: play as a healer and reach the highest attainable rank on a fresh account. It was a demanding quest, particularly for someone with limited experience in such games. However, with my waifu squad at my side and my newfound gaming proficiency, I embarked on this mission.

I immersed myself in the intricacies of the game, dedicated hours to tutorials, guides, and expert gameplay. With the support of my waifu squad, my self-improvement was relentless, and I was unfazed by the competition.

Days of intense gaming followed, and the culmination of my efforts was a day before the quest's deadline. As we achieved the highest rank, the accomplishment was a testament to our collective capabilities. I claimed the reward, a unique ability to bless others with my newfound powers, and pondered the boundless opportunities that lay ahead for Rogue Retribution.
