Ding!
«Error!»
«Error!»
«Host, at this point, must know of his system's description!»
'Uhm, just before now, I was thinking of how to get to you. To help me understand this awakening of a thing.'
«Materializing---»
Cling! The screen appeared before Dimm.
‹Description: This will provide the host with uncanny abilities to manipulate, exploit and bend, rules, hidden mechanics, and realities respectively, all to his advantage.
Note, however, that usage of these loopholes will grant attention to the gods of the game, and hence, send forces against you.›
'So, the rule breaker also had its consequences...seems palatable to handle though.'
His eyes shifted to the next screen that displayed the various game-breaking loopholes he had awakened with.
«Glitch System.»
‹Description: This system will work at using various flaws or exploits in the game to assemble your abilities to their peak form.
In simplicity, it will enable you to boost your stats or even complete rule bypasses that the game's system never accounted for.
However, there are going to be certain risks attached to this system. Its consequences are undetermined and can cause unpredictable effects. But upon each usage, your wanted presence by the gods will increase by many feats.›
«Unlimited Evolution System.»
‹Description: This loophole defies the natural progression at which the game batters with. It gives you the ability to go beyond powers, beyond the limits and restrictions of your current levels.
In simplicity, the host can use this system to continuously refine its strength, and general stat abilities.
Usage can attract erasure from the game if caught. Hence, eternal exile from existence.›
«Alteration System.»
‹Description: This loophole will enable you to rewrite your stats, modify your skills, and change several realistic outcomes that may not suit your taste.
It will be prolific for usage during situations that require the usage of rules, as it will enable you to reshape the fundamental laws of these rules.
The only consequence left of this ability will be thrown as a question to the host: How far can one push reality before it pushes back?›
«Devourer System.»
‹Description: This will grant you the ability to consume anything, and make them your own. Power will be earned through consumption, but must be nurtured through progression.
With no intended limit, you can steal the abilities of your enemies, or helpers, and even absorb powers that are within the reach of the other players.
With all these given, the player should beware of its dominant risk. Limitless consumption can lead to loss of control, and this can increase availability to the wrath of the gods of the game.›
"Okay, I'm dealing with a Trade by Barter system," Dimm said as the screen disappeared, before looking up to see Minxx standing over him.
"Oh, you. I just summoned the attention of this strange system like that."
"It's not a strange system. And, it's not trade by Barter system," Minxx said, facing her front to climb down the hill.
Dimm quickly stood up from the ground where he had fallen, rubbed off possible specks of dust that entangled on his fabric and followed suit.
"If it's not a trade by Barter system, then what is it?" Dimm asked but quickly added. "Not like you saw it."
"I might not have the ability to see messages from it, but I can tell..." Minxx gave him a glance and added. "I will tell... let's keep going."
***
Dimm and Minxx arrived on the outskirts of the village to meet bustling activities. Here and there, people walked about, probably going after their priorities.
Dimm followed Minxx as they walked across the streets, with different elfin girls saluting Minxx, and waving at him.
"Uhm...can I ask? Or, am I still limited to answers?" Dimm poked his head in front of Minxx to get her attention.
"What is troubling you this time?" Minxx threw the floor open for him but limited it immediately. "Although, I won't answer any question pertaining to the policy of how things work in this game."
"Uhm... I wonder, why have I not seen any male elf since we walked down this street? Maybe, I'm guessing they might have other responsibilities other than—"
Dimm was cut short. "This village is dominated only by the feminine. No masculine."
"Grrrr," Dimm paused in his step, shocked.
'What the hell am I doing here then? Seems like Elion was right. Have I been deceived?'
Minxx noticing Dimm was not following, turned to face him. "They might start rushing at you if you waste more time."
Dimm looked behind him and saw more elfin girls approaching him. His eyes widened, and he immediately lurked onto Minxx.
"Sorry," he said, realizing that his head had jammed Minxx's boobs as a result of tripping onto a stone.
"It's okay," Minxx surprisingly said. "Let's go before they crowd your area."
Dimm immediately grasped her hand, and pulled her alongside him, leading the way as if he knew where he was going. He turned his head to the side and saw a shop.
In front of the shop, feminine bras dangled on nails affixed to the roof.
Dimm brought his eyes down to look into the shop and found the girl, probably the shop owner staring with malicious intent at him.
He retrieved his gaze and wondered what emanated that kind of stare from the girl. Then his mind screamed at him, 'Why the hell will you want to glaze at the inner-wears?!'
"Oh, because of that," he said, and wanted to hit his forehead blamingly, and noticed he was holding Minxx all these while.
Pretending not to be aware of what have been happening, Minxx asked. "And, where do you think you're going?"
"Huh."
"You've been dragging me behind you as if you are a master of unknown locations. Lucky you, the tempered girls didn't see you. They would have done things worse than the malignant stare just now," Minxx stated.
'She noticed it.'
Dimm quickly retrieved his hand, folding it onto his chest. He would lie if he said he wasn't confused at the moment, and at things happening before him.
He thought everything was fine when he initially entered with Minxx, and people waved at him, then saluted Minxx.
'Wait, they saluted her?'
"WTH is going on?" Dimm narrowed his gaze to Minxx and asked.
"Just in due time, you will know. They are all NPCs, so, I will suggest you begin acting as one onwards," Minxx informed him.
"Well, give me your hand," she offered. "I will be leading you closely."
Dimm shoved his hand into hers, as they began walking gloriously further into.
'If this was real life, we would in no time be tagged couples.' Dimm thought, stealing a glance at Minxx. 'Although, people will mouth at your height despite your propelling beauty.'
