Life as a System Isn't Easy

We've all heard the story of the system users. Some get trolled, some get scammed, some have to slave away, but you know, the life of a system isn't easy either!

Purchases

"Hmm, 3700 points, I wonder what I can get. Open store."

~Ding, welcome to the store subject 99921922! Congratulations on passing the first level, you have gained access to level 1 and below store items~

"…"

This time, yet another screen full of options popped up, much too much for Silvia to take in.

"Sort by rele-"

A red X flew down from the sky and plastered itself on her face, however, this time it was noticeably smaller.

"Deep breaths… Deep breaths…"

~Reminder that in your current form you have no respiratory system, and the concept of breathing is strange to say the least~

"…"

"Just sort by relevance" -_-

At this point, 5 high relevance options popped up, being the Farm World for 2000 points, Pacman level 2 for 500 points, Level 1 New Game for 100 points, Status Screen for 500 points, Personal Room (Basic) for 2000 points"

"Hmm, I suppose I should unlock the farm world so I can use the free stuff I got, so let's get that first"

~Successfully Purchased Farm World for 2000 points, you now have 1700 points remaining~

"Then I should probably get Level 1 New Game so I can farm some more points"

~successfully Purchased Level 1 New Game, would you like to continue immediately? 1600 points remaining~

"NO DON'T YOU DARE SEND ME BACK IN YET"

~Confirmed, you have a maximum of 60 minutes before entering a new instance, you have 54 minutes remaining at this point in time~

"What happens if I don't enter an instance?"

~Termination. ~

"…"

"So, 50 more minutes to be on the safe side, let's get that status screen too."

~Successfully Purchased Status Screen for 500 points, you now have 1100 points remaining~

~Open Status Screen? ~

"That can wait a bit I think…"

"Hmm, there's no way I can afford the personal room yet"

At this point, Silvia floated(?) alone in the abyss, trying to figure out what exactly could be done with the remaining 1100 points. Staring at the food tab just beneath the relevance tab, she couldn't help but check…

"Hmm, what's new, HUH?"

Silvia, in looking at the portion of the food tab that included previous purchases noticed that she could now purchase different variants of both toast and butter now, it was no longer jam that was unique.

"Oh, it must be the extended privileges… Wonder why toast and butter were behind that" :l

"Well, it won't hurt to check..?"

Looking at the toast pulldown tab, the last toast she had was the basic 10 point toast, with the description –

~An everyday piece of toast, could be wonder bread, could be worse~

"Wonder bread isn't that bad…" ;-;

Scrolling down the Toast list for a bit, she couldn't really find any end, stopping somewhere around the 500th page, she figured she had wasted enough time when she was alerted

~Warning, you must join an instance within the next 30 minutes~

Doing a quick scan through butter and a quick scan through jam, she noticed that there was again an expansive list for each. The highest-level jam she had previously seen was only on the 87th page and wasn't even considered that expensive as far as things went.

"Hmm… 1100 points is a decent amount… I don't suppose it'd hurt if I…" >_>

5 minutes later…

~You have bought (2) Basic Toast (20pt), (1) Volcanic Jam (500 pt), (1) Butterfly Butter (100pt), for a total of 620 points, you have been refunded 100 points due to your jam discount, you now have 580 points~
