"What the hell do you mean, unknown user? Me?!"
I stared at those words, disbelief twisting inside me like a knife. I should have been happy, right? Wasn't this what I always wanted — to break free from the system's chains, to finally escape its control? Yet now, standing at the edge of that freedom, I felt nothing but cold dread clawing at my mind.
The system was supposed to be my enemy — a force I had spent so long trying to resist — yet right now, I needed it more than anything. Without it, I was powerless. Without it, my path forward was nothing but a gaping void. The system held answers — answers I desperately needed. Without it, how would I resurrect my friends? How could I manipulate the flow of souls without the system's guidance? How could I summon my beasts without that connection anchoring them to me?
