Chapter 64 –
> [System Points are not just some system currency!]
System 404 sounded personally offended, which was impressive, considering it didn't technically have feelings.
> [They're converted from a completed world's Stability Essence! The more stable the narrative thread and karmic balance, the purer the essence. The purer the essence, the more System Points.]
Daphne raised a brow, still squishing the glowing orb absently like it was a sentient stress toy.
"So you're saying," she began slowly, "the whole point of these missions is to wring emotional and narrative coherence out of chaotic multiverse dumpster fires in exchange for... what? Interdimensional karma coupons?"
> [They are highly regulated multiversal operating credits!]
She blinked. "...So karma coupons."
> [NO!]
She gave the orb a small flick.
"Then what are they for?"
The system grumbled (digitally), resigned to its fate.
> [They're used to upgrade systems.]
