Death God System

[Ding! P...]

'Eh?'

"System what's wrong? Are you done with the analysis from before?"

[Ding! Yes!]

"Why didn't you say anything then?" The system was acting strange...

[Ding! The system was analyzing ways to upgrade itself]

"You found a way?!" If the system found a way to upgrade that would be awesome. I could have new functions or new skills. So far, nothing out of the ordinary worked to get a skill, and I also rarely get a quest. The system in novels I had read, even the one in RPGs I played, had more functions than this system...

[Ding! It's still being analyzed]

...

Since the System was clearly busy, not that it helped much besides the usual kill reward stuff, I decided to advance in the test just in case there was some kind of timer on the room.

Sigh... The one who made this room was truly... I looked at the ceiling painted in some weird colours, it looked like they were all thrown together. Really ugly.

The ceiling was too far away. Qi Refining cultivators couldn't fly, their Qi was not enough to support them for prolonged flight but using it for something like getting to a high height or moving to the top of a mountain was very useful. Manipulating the Qi inside me, I did a series of air step to reach the ceiling. It was my first time but surprisingly, I didn't face any problems.

[Ding! Learned Passive Skill Fly Lv1/100 (0/10000)]

Fly: Increase movement speed by 1% while in the air.

Every thought of my soul focused on the notification that just appeared in my mind, if it wasn't for my second soul which stabilized my body, I would have crashed into the floor. Did I get it just like that? Could it be that I can only learn a defined set of skills?

[Ding! Death God System upgraded from 1.0 to 1.1]

The system got upgraded! What changed? This was great news.

"System you found a way to be upgraded?"

[Ding! Replying to the host, the token from the sects can help the system upgrade itself. The technology inside can increase the knowledge inside the system database. Recommending the host to get his hands on a higher rank token.]

"That would be easy. I just need to kill a disciple to get my hands on them."

[Ding! Once the user dies, the token gets destroyed.]

"Then I would just need to take it by force!]

[Ding! The token has a spatial function, the user can retrieve the token at any time.]

"Fuck! Since when you have become so smart and knowledgeable! Then I will kidnap the opposite party to maintain his life, and take his token to analyze it"

[Ding! The token can be destroyed by the user with a thought.]

...

[Ding! The toke..]

"Enough! I will figure out a way to get my hands on a higher ranked token!"

"System, what is the token from the light sect made of?"

[Ding! Unknown.]

That's not the right question, think. Got it!

"Is it made from an array or something related? Explain what you know."

[Ding! No, the core of the token is made from a crystal. The composition and material are unknown to the system, although similar to the Holy Crystal. There also is a mass of energy inside the crystal operating with circuits all around the token. Thanks to the design, order and composition, after analyzing and comparing it with the System Core, the system found a way to upgrade itself.]

So, technology. No wonder they couldn't understand the tokens, they don't have any base on technology on this world. It's an ancient era after all. Still, the technology was enough to make the system gain insights.

I kept pondering on this issue, I was starting to understand some stuff. I was stupid but there were obvious things. The System I had was damaged, it was not complete. That's why it could gain advantages from the other technology. This doesn't mean that the System was less advanced, it was just not at its peak. Thinking about this made me remember the database. If the database was gone, it was impossible for the System to know about itself. The only bad side of this was that I couldn't fill the information needed to upgrade the System in this world. At most, I could make it evolve by itself by analyzing other technology stuff! The Holy Crystals and the tokens are the key.

"System. Can't you analyze the Holy Crystal? Since the token might be also related to it, it should be similar.

[Ding! The System's analyzing level is too low. It would take a dozen years to analyze the Holy Crystal, it's too complex. There also is a protection device on the Holy Crystal, it could destroy the System.]

'What! This is the first time I heard a system could be destroyed.'

[Ding! The System could indeed be destroyed as it is fused with your soul.]

Great! Things were taking a bad turn, I thought I had an omnipotent System and I just realized that it could be destroyed on top of the fact that it was damaged... wouldn't that mean I could also cease to exist if the system got destroyed?

[Ding! Yes.]

Sigh! The Death Core is still unknown to me and now the System is making things harder.

Shaking my head and leaving behind the thoughts about those two things that were not under my control, I pressed my hand against the ceiling.

"I accept the test."

A multicoloured light engulfed me and I got teleported.
