Single Minded

'I don't need a human face,' he muttered, shaking his head and pushing those unnecessary thoughts to the back of his mind.

The reason he had made it this far so quickly was his simple, single-minded focus on getting stronger.

To him, everything else was secondary. His ultimate goal was to become the strongest being, someone who could live freely because no one would dare challenge him. 

He saw nothing wrong with this way of thinking. 

Changing something that wasn't broken would be dumb. In fact, he had to ensure that his approach to life remained unchanged, no matter what. 

"Okay, forget we talked about this," he said, looking to see if the system would respond, but there was no reply.

However, he didn't care about it or take it to heart. At least, their exchange had given him some insight into how autonomous the system was, and it was really high.

'I need to be more careful,' he thought to himself.
