After hearing the system's explanation, I really wanted to punch the system very badly in the face right now. No, only punching would be letting the system go lightly since it fucked me up here by making that choice. I should torture the system instead if I could do that. My life is not a game that the system could play with right here.

'A difficulty of this level? Are you insane? If you wanted to kill me, you should have just left me in the black space or whatever realm it was. Why do you have to drag me all the way here to kill me if you wanted to do something like that? The cost of that teleportation was more than my soul back then.' I shouted at the system in my head after hearing his infuriating explanation.

[Checking the host's permission....]

[True....]

[The host has the required authority to know why the system had made that choice....]

[Responding to host....]

[The host should know that the system will always choose the best for the system, not the host. The system had already sacrificed a lot to save the host from the judicial realm and get him out. The system had already broken the protocol set by the worlds' laws by doing something like that. The host would have died after one day if the system did not rescue the host....]

[This mode is the only one that could save the system after it received the punishment after saving the host.....]

After hearing the system's response, I calmed down a little since I was the cause of all of this. Although I lost my common sense of the previous world, I still could feel gratitude towards anyone who saved my life. I did not know what it meant by sacrificing itself, though. But I hope it was fine as I did not know how to repay it if it got hurt because of me.

I was going to die after one day in that place, huh...

No one told me something like that. I changed my mind one hundred and eighty degrees after hearing its words. The system did not have a reason to lie in my face, did it? He could have left me there if I was going to die anyway.

Although I thought it must have an ulterior motive for saving me, I didn't think it would lie just like that about my death. Plus, what could I have done in that place anyway? Even if I didn't die, I would get bored to death in that place.

'What do you mean by sacrificing yourself? Did you get hurt while trying to save me? And why are your responses so robotic?' I asked after calming down

[Checking the host's permission....]

[False....]

[The host does not have the authorization to know this kind of information yet....]

'Then how am I supposed to save you?' I asked after hearing his reply. I did not understand who put this permission thing in the first place.

Why does my system seem so different from the others? The others' system would obey them or help them to the best it could. But look at this, my system is fucking cocky. And the first word it said was 'The system will always choose the best for the system, not the host.'.

Huh, why is my life this difficult even after I got reincarnated? I always dreamt of having a nice and slow life but look at this. I did not even start, and I would die in a day or two like that.

[Checking the host's permission....]

[True....]

[The host has the required authority to know the answer....]

[The host can help the system by raising the system level. The higher the system level, the more power it could restore. The system is level 0 at the moment since the system had nearly lost most of its strength after saving the host and leaving the judicial realm. The system needs achievements based on its function and purpose. This way, the system could restore what it had lost. The system will require kingdom-building points to level up. The host has to prove himself by gaining those points and using them to level up the system....]

Oh, that thing. I heard the system mention it when it gave me the two injections back then. I did not understand, or I should say, I did not have much time back then to understand, but now I began to understand everything. Every time I performed an action to build my own kingdom would earn me points, right? I should ask him to be sure about this thing.

'How do I earn these points?' I asked The System as I started to think of the number of points that I spent on the two injections and started to sweat.

Yeah, I started to sweat when The System displayed the messages from that time in front of my eyes after it heard my question. From fifty thousand points, I only ended up with just one. How miserable!!!

It's the same as if someone had five million dollars, but after waking up from his sleep, he found out that he only had a nice dream.

[Checking the host's permission.....]

[True....]

[The host has the authority to check on this information....]

[Every action the host does would be judged by the world. After the judgment, the world would turn part of its resources to points throughout the system's interface. There are also quests that the world would send for the user through my interface. Depending on the succeeding and failing, The world would judge the host's performance, and your reward or punishment would go as the world decided. The reward and punishment would get displayed by the system. Only the special or hidden rewards would not get displayed.]

I nodded my head after hearing The System's words but felt weird a little. The world is acting by itself and has eyes to judge me. That is creepy somehow, isn't it? I hope he would not make his judgment against me when I took a bath or slept with a woman here and there.

'Then why could not I contact the system when I fainted earlier? Was not I supposed to be able to hear the system anytime since the system is linked to my soul?' I asked the question that confused me till now. The system should be one with my soul, so I had expected it to be always with me, or that was what I read in novels.

I do not know if something like that would happen again. I could not lose the system, especially after coming to this world and becoming a slave too.

[Checking the host's permission....]

[True...]

[The host has the required authority to know this information...]

[Gethering the required information...]

[Responding to the host's question....]

[The host's soul will need some time to get familiar with the new body. Both of them just got to know each other not long ago. That is the main reason that the system's connection to the host got cut off when you fainted earlier. The system estimates that the host will need another two months before the soul adapts fully to the new body, so the user must prepare for something like that to happen again. The other reason is The System level. The system's level is too low right now that it could not form a full network connection with the host's brain network.....]

So, it was like that. No wonder I had that headache that is about to make my head explode. I don't know if I would have this severe headache till the two months period ended, though.

'What level is required to form the full connection to my brain network?' I asked as I remembered that such Systems usually had a radar to alert the host from the approaching enemies' attacks. The system could help me much in different situations using that function. But with the system's level being so low, it would be disastrous. Maybe, I should be more cautious from now on.

[Checking the host's permission.....]

[True.....]

[The host has the authorization to know this information....]

[The system needs to reach level two to have that function. After the host grants the system the required permission to start the operation, the system will start the synchronization process with the host's brain network. The host will feel a severe headache and will probably faint for two hours during the process...]

Level two, huh? It would take some time to reach this goal. I should ask the system about what it could provide me right now. Would I be able to start building my kingdom right away, or would there be any condition or difficulty? But my money is on anything would be difficult since this is the god mode difficulty.

'Hey, system. What can you do? I mean, How can I use you?' I asked and waited for the system's reply. I hope it could do many things that would help me right now in this situation.

[Checking the host's permission.....]

[True....]

[The host has the authority to check on this information....]

[Collecting the data from the database...]

[The system has five things that it could provide as of now.....]

[The first function the system can provide for the host is displaying two windows, only the host could see. The first one will show the host's status. Meanwhile, the other window can display the host's kingdom status, but it is locked right now, till the host uses the kingdom-building stone.....]

[The second function that the system can provide is a quest dashboard. The quests that the world will choose for the user will get displayed on this dashboard. The dashboard will contain all the information regarding the current quests the world will provide, from the reward and punishment to the deadline if it exists.....]

[The third function that the system can provide to the host is a shop. In this shop, the host can buy anything, whether it is from this world or the previous one, but it will depend on the system's level. But it mainly contains the technological research, technologies, and more advanced technology tree. Buying those technologies would make the design for the required building appear in the building function. But the host had to put in his mind that anything that is not related to the system's goals and purpose requires a sky-high price to buy unless you have already had the technology required for making what you wanted to buy. It is the same as the two injections earlier. Those two injections did not relate to the system's purpose, and the host did not reach this technology level. That is the reason why they cost that much...]
