St. Freya High School.
Several days had passed since she left for the Sea of Quanta to search for Lu Ming. The Starchasm Nyx Seele who had returned to St. Freya had once again become the existence of Sky and Herrscher Mei.
"Lu Ming, have you completely taken over?"
In the dorm room, Sky rested her head on Mei's lap as she curiously communicated with Lu Ming, the new system sprite... in her mind.
Perhaps because it was Lu Ming's first time being a system, she was still a little unaccustomed to it.
[Lu Ming: I more or less understand everything now! But I'm not very proficient yet.]
Lu Ming had also felt a little stifled these past few days. She had thought she had found a good friend she could truly open up to, but who would have thought... she had actually been tricked into becoming a system.
Although this allowed her to escape that world that was about to perish, and she could communicate with her host whenever she wanted, but... she had lost her freedom once again!
Before, she had also been a bird in a cage, but that cage had been huge! As large as an entire world. Her current cage... was merely within her host's consciousness.
Though... here, the larger she imagined it to be, the larger the consciousness space became. But in the end, she was still inside another person's body.
But if asked whether she regretted it, well, not really. She did not regret it that much.
Within the consciousness space, anything but life could appear however she imagined it. Though it was all fake, it made no difference to her from the real thing. She could touch it and see it.
It was far more interesting than that boring world
