Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 176: Vague Memories, Unknown Emotions

Inside the warehouse, an unconscious Silas could be seen laying on what looked to be a hospital bed, except that it looked bigger and more comfortable than regular hospital beds.

Luna sat beside the bed, watching over Silas and waiting for him to wake up. It's been more than an hour since he got out of the capsule, but he hasn't moved a finger, but Luna was worried, as she knew that he was alright.

"Ugh..." Luna heard a groan and looked at Silas, who was massaging his temples, and she smiled happily.

{Master!}

"Luna... How long have I been out?" Silas asked.

Due to how intense the gene enhancement process was, his sense of time was completely messed up.

{Three months.}

Silas sighed when he heard Luna's response.

"Three months? I guess it's better than using six months to go through the process," Silas said with a smile.

He was happy at how things progressed. Before getting into the Evolution capsule, he was scared that he was going to die from the gene engagement process, but he didn't.

{Master, how are you feeling?} Luna asked curiously.

She remembered how the nutritional fluid was drying so quickly and how all the air around her was vacuuming towards the capsule, and she couldn't help but be curious.

Luna's question reminded Silas of what he intended to do after coming out of the Evolution capsule.

He pushed himself up from the bed and climbed down.

As his feet touched the ground, he nearly fell to the ground as he lost his balance, but he was quick as he swiftly held the bedside for support.

{Master!} Luna exclaimed worriedly as she held him and helped him to sit back on the bed.

{Master, I asked how you're feeling. I didn't ask for you to get out of bed.} She berated as she glared daggers at him.

Silas was actually surprised at what happened.

"What the....?" He looked at his legs, and he swung them to feel if they were actually there.

As he swung his feet, he felt nothing wrong with them, and he couldn't help but look at Luna with a mixture of surprise and confusion.

"Luna, why is my leg so weak?"

{You don't need to worry; it's normal to experience weakness after the process.} Luna replied.

"Ohh... Why didn't you tell me this then?"

{We had more important things to worry about then. We weren't even sure you were going to make it. How much of a help would it be if I told you that you would experience weakness after the process was completed?}

Silas sighed at Luna's response. He knew that she was right. Then, the most important thing on their minds was his survival, and it would be meaningless to tell him how he would feel after the process when his survival was uncertain.

"How long will it last?" Silas asked.

He wants to know how long the feeling of weakness in his feet will last, as he has other important things to get to.

{The feeling should disappear by the end of the day.} Luna replied, and Silas nodded, feeling relief.

"Luna, how's everything progressing?" Silas asked.

He left the management of everything in Luna's hand before he got into the Evolution capsule. What he was most curious about was the progress on the underground lab facility.

{Everything has been going smoothly. The bank building will be completed in less than a month, and the lab facility will be completed in two months.}

Silas nodded in satisfaction when he heard this. This means that in two months, he would be able to kick all of his plans into action.

"What about President Yusmaorobi's daughter?"

He remembered telling Luna to rescue her before he got into the Evolution capsule. He would have loved to do it himself, but he couldn't as he didn't have the chance.

Also, he didn't want to delay the matter any longer. It has been more than two months since he started working together with President Yusmaorobis, and Silas knew that the old man had already been expecting to keep the promise he made to him.

{She's safe now. She's in one of our hospitals, in a ward with maximum level security and a comprehensive team of medical personnel on 24-hour standby.}

Silas smiled when he heard this. He could already guess the person who arranged for the security and medical team.

"I can rest easy now that I have fulfilled my own end of the bargain." Silas smiled as he swung his feet again.

{Master, your family is worried about you. Your father and Kim have been calling non-stop for the past seven weeks. Also, you got a call from Mr. Williams.}

Hearing about his parents, Silas felt a sudden, sharp pang of pain in his heart, and his eyes started to moisten.

He didn't understand what was going on, but he knew that the pang of pain he was feeling came from some of the memories that flooded his mind.

It was like he hasn't seen his parents in a very long time. No, it was worse than that. This wasn't what one would feel from not seeing someone in a very long time. This is what one would feel from losing someone.

Silas suddenly remembered the voice he heard in the dark vacuum, and he felt fear, anger, hatred, and so many intense negative emotions that Silas found it to be very strange.

The flood of intense negative emotions made Silas feel like his heart was clogged and he was suffocating, almost making it hard for him to breathe.

"What's going on?" Silas asked himself as he clutched his chest.

{Master! What wrong?} Luna was alarmed when she saw Silas clutching his chest.

"Nothing," Silas said, as he did a series of breathing exercises.

He was finally able to get his emotions under control.

Silas sighed when he thought of the vague memories that flooded his mind and the inexplicable emotions that they came with.

He has no idea how he's going to deal with them, but he was going to ask the only person that he can, the system, but that would be for later.

For now, he has to talk to his family and get back to them. He knew how worried they must have been in the past two months. Especially when they have been calling and he wasn't picking up.

Immediately, he picked up the gear that was on a table beside the bed, wore it, and put a call to his father.

Silas knew of other important things he still had to do, but as of right now, his family was the most important. Especially with the intense feeling of losing the memories.

The call went through and started ringing. Three rings later, the call was picked, and a voice filled with happiness, anxiety, and other complicated emotions was heard.

"Silas... Son?"

"Dad."

Silas smiled, and he felt a huge sense of relief when he heard his father's voice.

"Silas, son. Where have you been? Come home; we are worried about you," his father, Chris, said.

"I'm sorry for making you guys worried. I was busy with something, but I will be back in a day or two."

"Good. We will be waiting for you to get back."

"Ok, Dad," Silas said and hung up. He looked at his legs and sighed.

"Why do things always have to get so complicated?"
