Chapter 101

In the sanctity of his room once again, Alec finally allowed himself to feel tired.
He'd been introduced to so many people that it made his skin feel like it was crawling with the unexpected social interactions.
There was only so much he could take before he snapped, and it seemed like his master agreed, which was why the both of them now retired to their own rooms.
Allowing himself to gracelessly thump onto the padding that served as his mattress out on the floor, Alec stared up at the ceiling blankly before hauling himself up.
There wasn't any time for him to waste being tired when he still hadn't figured out the situation he found himself in.
Was he still human, or wasn't he?
While he had certainly believed so before his master's fateful words, there was a part of him that apparently been sceptical that was the case.
He dreaded what the screen said, but there was no getting around it. He would feel more uneasy if he just ignored it.
Nothing else to it.
He'd just have to get to it.
"Status," Alec said. There was no other word that would have triggered the screen, so that had to be it.
On cue, the exact same translucent screen appeared before him.
Alec already knew that it was intangible, but still waved his hand through it. Since his master hadn't said anything about the screen earlier, that meant that he was the only one who was able to see it.
That took a load off his mind. It would be a lot harder trying to hide it every time someone said the word 'status' if that wasn't so.
Now taking the time to read it, Alec surprised himself with how calmly he was taking this, considering that he had all but accepted the inevitable fact that he was human.

[System's System]
[System Type: Gentle Looking]
Alec stared. That was… that was a lot of points.
Alec attributed it to the fact that the Mainframe had seemingly malfunctioned while it was supposed to be giving him the equivalent of 600 points in total. With the number of times it repeated… a thousand and fourteen times?
But would the Mainframe really malfunction just because of this? It wasn't logical by any stretch! There had to be something more to this. Something he wasn't seeing.
"Mainframe?" Alec tried again. There was no response.
There wasn't anything special about the first couple of points that popped out on the screen, but the second and last point was something that he'd never seen before.
Alec tapped on [System Type: Gentle Looking] and cursed, because he swore that was the Mainframe's damn restriction on him, but it was greyed out, which meant that he was unable to do anything about it.
The one good thing about being disconnected from the Mainframe was ripped away from him! Just how long would it take for him to be able to disable that? If ever? But still, there seemed to be hope for now. Would an increase in authority give him that right?
Giving up and tapping lightly on the second last point, [System's System], it opened up to a new screen, the previous one blurring out.
[Main Character Page]
[Main Character Radar: ON]
[System Reinforcement]
[System Shop]
[Faction]
Alec stiffened, then immediately clicked the [Main Character Page].
The screen expanded, showing him a list of names.
[Tatiana Neil]
[Elias Neil]
[Cyrus Neil]
[Zacharias Neil]
[Lily Cierra]
[Hong Jun]
[Dietrich Rothschild]
[Kieran Rothschild]
Alec immediately let out a strangled sound that he wouldn't ever have let anyone else hear, but he was safe in the silence of his room, so he didn't stop the strangled sound from leaking out.
He felt like cursing. Just when had Main Characters become so common that he'd already found so many of them?
He'd been *surrounded* by Main Characters!
It wasn't that he hadn't an inkling about that, considering the things that they appeared to be going through, whether it be the situation they were in, or – well. Bluntly put, they were all stunning in their looks. Like a Main Character usually was.
There were many things that he saw as he was trying to figure out the Mainframe's Mission, but he had eventually struck them off the list specifically because the Mainframe said that 'he would know when he saw them'.
Alec frowned before he tried clicking on one of the names.
[Tatiana Neil]
[Status: Alive, Healthy]
[Potential: 9]
[Intelligence: 8]
[Luck: 8]
[Determination: 9]
The System frowned, thinking. That was pretty bare, but at least he knew that she was alive. She currently scored a 34 out of 40, which was quite high.
The Mainframe liked to digitize things in 10's.
If he considered that '5' was the base of an average person, then Tatiana's stats were what would give her a shot at excelling if she put in enough work.
Still, was that it? What was the point of him seeing this page if there wasn't anything else to go along with it? Could he not influence her path somehow?
Alec's eyes caught on a greyed-out point at the bottom. [Plot Route], which was barely visible. Alec had a feeling he had to upgrade his system authority if he wanted to do anything more.
Alec played around with the rest of the tabs, getting a feel of the [System's System] as it was apparently called.
Clicking on the [Main Character Radar], it expanded to show him a small map of where he was currently, the green dot in the middle. There were a few blinking yellow dots further, and two green dots, which he clicked.
The two green dots were Kieran and Dietrich, who were moving around.
Then, the blinking yellow dots were potential Main Characters.
Interesting.
But, why did he need a System of his own? Though the System wasn't sentient, why did he have it? Considering that he himself was a System, having another System was – Alec's mind was going in circles.
The [System Reinforcement] tab showed him a detailed map of his current body, and the parts where he had already Awakened, which was convenient since he was able to see his various additional effects and bonds.
Useful.
[System Shop] sold things using points.
They were all temporary items, which disappeared after use. 50 points for a strength boosting potion that lasted 10 minutes, 100 points for a potion that let him increase the draw of magic into himself at a boosted rate for an hour.
Things like that. They might seem like they cost just a few points now, but considering that before this, Alec only had 580 points to his name, that told you the truth about how point-hungry this damn [System's System] was!
Late into the night, Alec waved off the interface, crawling under the blankets.
Just what did this mean for him now?
Still, he couldn't help but feel like he had a bit of a duty now to these Main Characters that he'd apparently 'recruited' to his faction.
They were all people that he kept close to him, so it wasn't any trouble on his part helping them out all the same.
Now, all he had to do was continue trying his best to raise his magic ranking.
