Absorbing the system seed

The existence of system seeds was the element that took the balance of the world and turned it on its head.

In short and simple words, it gave humans a fighting chance… But that's all assuming those seeds worked how Mathew envisioned them to work. And his vision included the ability for the system owners to switch over to a better system once they were ready for it.

And there was a simple way to test it out… by trying to actually have it done.

"Hey!" Carol called out, approaching the guy she mentioned the second Mathew whispered his instructions to the girl's ear. "Eee…" the girl hesitated for a second. "John, was it?"

The newbie hunter raised his eyes. He twitched a little when he saw the girl standing right in his face. His throat moved as he gulped his saliva down.

"Yes," he confirmed Carol's guess regarding his name, "that's me. How can I help?"

The kid's voice was on the verge of breaking… but he still managed to keep up a proper facade.
