I Became A System

Chapter 35 - Pixie Evolution

[Name: Aaron

Kind: Pixie (System Contractor)]

I stayed for a moment looking at the window that appeared. It seems that this is the info about me but it's limited. I think I just got promoted? But I don't know this.

I asked Ellena to wait for a minute so that I could check the changes.

First, I am a pixie and it's a kind of a lesser fairy. And my power is to bless my power, but what is it?

Realizing it, information suddenly emerged from my brain. My power is to access in pixie roots, and power is equivalent to accessibility.

I am still a system but now, I can bless humans. So it could be that I can bless Ellena? But I don't know how and what really happens if I use my access to the pixie root.

Noticing it, I already knew what a pixie root is. I was about to ask it, and suddenly another window appeared.

[Pixie Root Window]

Type: Buff |?|

<Bless>

So it was just like a computer window. Similar to commands, this one seems to be limited screen-like for computers.

I clicked the question mark to see the details of my power.

[A type of pixie root to improve the stamina control]

That's it? I was expecting more explanation.

This is really limited. I need to understand this well to help Ellena more than I can.

Thinking about it in the past, I was hoping to help Ellena more, even in a physical manner, and now that I've been promoted, I'm thankful for it.

I am right now a pixie, and I was thinking if it's only Ellena can see me as I am her system which she was the only one who can hear me.

My appearance is what a typical pixie is. I am a mini, blue-skinned humanoid with sharp ears. My hair is also spiky and I have wings made of dim light.

Fixing my confusion, I used the present information. From the past information and newly added from my promotion, I made a conclusion.

My existence is something newly built, as I am a distortion in a new timeline from the original. I became Ellena's rune, her life changed as the flow of the time was also affected from the time reset.

Pixies? Seems like I am the only one who is pixie in this world. I have a small grasp of the species of high-intelligence creatures in this world and pixies is not included there. So I can safely assume that I am unique.

Unique, I can say that being a rune and an entity as well is really special.

Now next thing is about my power. Pixies' powers only affect blessing, and it differs in type of their power. Power doesn't really affect them as their sole purpose in living is to bless powers.

The Pixie Root is really something that doesn't exist. I bet that it is a different system existent solely to help me assist Ellena.

As my kind is really not existing in this world, my existence is something that lies between systems. And I can say that I am a different system as I have already been promoted.

Ugh... I thought that thinking will be easy if a regain having a brain, but it totally sucks.

Going back, types of blessings have different variations. There is buff, affinity, flexibility, and many more. I can't really tackle all of it as there are plenty of types ranging from useless to the most useful.

I just shook my little head to return to reality. Seems like my thinking has already been that long since I saw Ellena making a sleepy face.

"Ellena."

Ellena's eyebrows flinched from hearing my voice.

"Hm?... Aaron. Are you done?" She asked regarding the transformation.

I guess I should explain things to Ellena. Well, obviously, I should. I think that she's only keeping herself to ask because she's concern about my mental well-being.

Well, it's just an expectation from a semi-matured young lady.

"I think I should explain things to you," I stated to initiate the talk.

Seems like it was successful since her curiosity came back. She's currently raising her eyebrows and looking at me firmly standing on her palm.

"I was thinking, how did you become like this?"

"Perhaps it's about my existence. I can't really explain things completely but I will offer what I can. I am a system given to you by the gods as they have chosen you. My sole purpose is to guide and help you in your journey so I guess because of my performance, gods promoted me to become like this. I am actually now System Contractor, it's just a position but it doesn't explain my existence."

Ellena tried to absorb my explanation but it seems like it's still difficult for her to understand. She was making these hesitant mouth gestures as if she was trying to ask something that she can't.

"Say it," I said to assure her. She just smiled at me.

"What really are you, Aaron?"

I've been thinking this for a while. I was considering Ellena's mental state if she can understand things and I think that little things wouldn't hurt. I hope that this is the start for her to learn her real destiny.

"I was a human from another world. I died there but because of my eagerness to learn new knowledge and experience, a god in your world offered me a chance. It is to become your system or rune. That's all I can say."

Ending my sentence, I noticed Ellena's eyes widened. It appears that my background is really not that common, and also easy to understand. I also hope that the belief in souls exists here too.

"Your soul was turned into a system? A rune?"

Wow... So she understood it? Well, that's fortunate. It really helps to save more explanation.

"That's... surprising. You understood it well."

"Yes... I guess I understood it a little. But now, I'm just happy that you have your own body. Does this also mean that only me can see you or your movement is still limited?"

This is astounding! I haven't thought of that!

"Wait. I don't know, I should try it."

Feeling the senses in my body. I think of trying to fly and amazingly, it's still the same as when I was an invisible formless mind.

I can fly and there's more, I have sensations. Even my vision is just mostly at 120 degrees of arc, this is still amazing.

I tried to move away from Ellena, more than I supposedly can do.

I can move away!

Because of my excitement, I flew far away to Ellena. Leaving her standing at least 100 meters away, I can still see her! Although it was just a blue light showing her position, I understood that it's a mechanism so that I can't lose her.

Ellena, this is really amazing!

I fastly went back to her side. I don't have stamina so reaching her at a speed didn't make me breathless. Instead, I feel like there are no changes in me. So, removing my 360 degrees field of view was just to make a balance from this promotion.

I can't thank that being more.

"Ellena, can you show me the status?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure. Status."

Since she is the only one who can summon the status window, I need her help.

I was really curious pertaining to the possible changes in my system side. Well, I'm still a system!

There are really no changes in the status. It's still the same and no additional details.

Well, perhaps my perspective and abilities were only affected.

"Can we go back, Aaron? I'm really sleepy."

"Oh! Yes, sure! Let's go back!"

I gazed at her right hand to check if the rune has changed, and thank goodness there's really no changes. I don't know how to manage questions from the other girls. There are really no records of runes changing.

We immediately went back to the inn and seems like it's still the same. Only Ellena can see me as the other people didn't mind me flying.

Sighs... I'm getting more excited about the future.. I hope that everything will go well.
