I Became A System

'The temple is the problem.' Aaron thought as he saw Leonora leave the house. 

Inside his mind, he really saw that the temple was not some organization to overlook. Not only do they use the beliefs of the people, but they also monopolize tremendous amounts of information. And if he can get them, he'll learn more.

The temple runs throughout the whole continent, which means the fear of Cursed Children is widespread.

"Ellena, what will you do if you encounter someone from the temple?" I asked.

She just looked at me with perplexity.

"Why would you ask that?"

I sighed then just shook my head. It's not time to let her shoulder this topic. She still has to focus on other problems. Her destiny is about saving the world from the demons, not from human affairs. 

Then, if it's human affairs, I'll just do it on my own. I am powerful enough to do it, then I can split the responsibility.

"Forget about it. Just continue on training."

Aaron shook his head and then left Ellena, who was about to train. When he was observing Ellena, he realized something.

'What if I create a spell that allows me to have a physical body? Even a human dummy.'

And at that idea, Aaron widely smiled. He opened the window of his 5th system and scrolled through it.

'There is a way to create it. Even it takes a long time.'

'Nice! This is the way.' 

Aaron was optimistic about it, but due to his lack of knowledge about the system, he was dismayed.

'There are no such immediate wishes after all.' He sighed after reading the contents of the window.

[Create a spell]

Conditions for making a spell: Time and ingredients

---

Aaron realized that in making a spell, especially when it's about making a body, an ingredient is a must if it's a vessel body. Then I should get a body.

That's out of the options, but it's the fastest way. But I wonder, do I have to stop as a system if I have a body? I mean, I should be independent.

That's very problematic, but I don't need to decide right now. What's important right now is for Ellena to grow stronger.

Then... I'll create bestowal magic. In this case, since I already have an offensive and defensive magic spell, I'll create a spell that can help Ellena.

I clicked on the screen, then chose from the choices. If I will create a bestowal spell, I have to put a condition. 

I need to think of it wisely. Creating a spell takes time. And since I don't need to study for it, the condition is to wait for it to finish.

A heaven-defying system. Now that makes me wonder what I really am. My soul is special, but somehow, I don't feel a strong attraction to knowing my background. Just meh. If I learn, okay. Just curious, nothing more.

---

Name of the spell: Self-healing body formation (Proposed name)

Condition: Self-healing magic will activate without fueling from the user's core. However, the mana will come from the surroundings. Without mana, the magic won't work.

The spell will work if the user gets injured. Whether it's poison or a wound, any risk of injury or harm to one's health will be reduced as long as the magic is active.

Creation time: 120 days

---

Oh fuck. The creation time is too long. Even though this spell is important to Ellena, as it will be a formation written on the core, it will take too much time.

But I think it's worth the wait. This kind of spell is too powerful, even it's just self-healing. And if I can bestow it to Ellena, I don't have to worry about her getting hurt.

I just don't like the other conditions... I can't create more than one. There's no improvement in this system, nor there will be. I think this one is static.

Sighs... Let's just don't think of it heavily. I have priorities and having a body isn't right now. I'm capable of using magic, so it'll just be a personal interest if it is.

***

After a week, what Leonora said finally happened. And this time, Ellena will be going to the Central to learn about magic casting. Even though she was a little bit late, Leonora didn't feel worried as she thought Ellena was a genius.

Even Aaron doesn't worry. Even if society turns out to be a complicated place, he can just work through it. He's powerful now.

"Isn't this amazing?" Leonora was making a smug face, facing Ellena.

"Yes. Thank you, Miss Leonora. All of your teachings were helpful to me." Ellena respectfully said. 

Ellena bowed slightly, showing her sincere gratitude. As Leonora saw it, she was flustered, waving her hands from side to side.

"No need to bow for me, Miss Ellena. You are now greater than I am. Even though I think it will happen in the future, still, I think of it as if it's already happening." Leonora said.

Aaron's interest was piqued, peeking from the corners of his eyes at Leonora. His arms were crossed, flying above them.

"Huh? What do you mean, Miss Leonora? Are you just complimenting me?"

"Right! I know something but I can't tell you. Now go! I still have more newcomers to teach! But I'm going to miss you." Leonora said with a smile then immediately leave without hearing Ellena's response.

Ellena just sighed then waved to Leonora. She climbed onto the carriage in front of her.

When Aaron saw the carriage earlier, he almost snorted. What kind of place would have a carriage underground? It was absurd, but he was surprised to realize that a carriage existed underground.

When the carriage left, it passed through a wide rift. It was a rift that seemed to look like the gates of a dungeon. However, it wasn't the case. It had a different purpose. 

The rift was the entrance to the Central of the secret society. And when they entered it, they were greeted by a whole new world that looked just like the outside world.

There were trees, rivers, rocks, small mountains, and even a sky. And just when Ellena was mesmerizing, she asked the coachman of the carriage.

"Are we still underground?" she asked.

"Yes, we are still underground. You are surprised that there's a sky too? It was a blessing from the ancestor, Sister."

Ellena nodded, then went back to her seat.

"But why are you calling me sister?" Ellena asked.

"Because I will be the one who'll be in charge of you. You thought that I was a coachman?... I am a bit disappointed that you didn't see through my disguise." Then suddenly, the coachman transformed and changed into a woman with black hair and fair skin.

Aaron already knew about it. There were no classes, but just positions. So, there were no smaller and bigger people here. They live equally and respect everyone.

But even if Aaron already knew about it, he didn't make any sound of it.

'The society is just too interesting and an eye-opener.'
