Chapter 8: System Update

  Several weeks have passed since the incident.

  Obviously Ruka received punishment, but apparently everyone was more worried by the fact that I did not wake up for a whole day, even with healing magic.

  When I woke up, it was a surprise when Rudy, Ruka, Runa, and my mother jumped me and started crying all over me.

  For the next few days after, I was barely able to move. With no power to escape, I had to endure constant questioning on how did I learn magic.

  I just told them that I learnt how to use mana on my own after experimentation. Then everyone started to say that I was a great genius or something. Honestly, it was really easy because I just made a simple arrow shooting skill.

  So for the past few days, I spent my days slowly recovering.

  ……………………..

  Oh yeah. I need to check my rewards from {Labbu}.

  Soula: "Full Status Window, Full Skill Window."

  ...eh? What's going on?

  When I asked my father about this…

  Dai: "Oh, after you get your first beast spirit, the system adds a lot more features to your status. It takes time to change, so a period called [System Update] is necessary. It takes about a week, but it's a lot better than a [World Update]. During that time, no one can access their status. Skills can be used, but the proficiency will not raise. You can train your body, but stats will not raise. This period lasts for a whole month, but it rarely happens. Usually, it is a time for many warriors and adventurers to have a vacation."

  So basically, I can't even train while I recover. I wish I made some sort of healing skill. Even if I can't train it, at least I can recover and leave bed.

  Well resting once in a while is nice too. Might as well sleep.

  .

  ..

  …

  *BANG* Suddenly I jerk awake to the sound of my bedroom door opening.

  Rudy, Ruka, and Runa: "Hey Soula, we came to play!"

  Soula: "What are you talking about? What can I do when I'm like this?"

  Rudy: "Recently we have been talking..."

  Ruka: "...and it's so unfair how a boy like you has such good looks."

  Runa: "Yeah. I feel so jealous of how cute you are."

  Rudy: "So we gathered some clothes to try for you."

  HELP!!! I'm surrounded by three little devils. NOOO!!! NOT A SKIRT!!!

  Leyla: "Ah, what's going on?"

  Mother! Thank god, I almost had to become a girl. Now save me from these monsters.

  Leyla: "Ohhh, this looks fun. But you forgot the blouse. Oh yeah, I have some clothes that I always wanted Soula to try out."

  SAVE MEEEEEEE!!!

  ……………………

  Several weeks have passed since that incident.

  I'm talking about the {Labbu} incident. What other incident would I talk about. I don't remember an incident where I was forced to dress… NOOO! I don't remember! I don't remember! I don't remember!

  …

  Ok, I calmed down. Well, the good news is, the [System Update] is done.

  Soula: "Full Status Window, Full Skill List, Full Command List."

  This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

  Ever since the system update finished, I suddenly felt the information on the changes go into my head. Basically, the only major changes were the [Full Command List] and the last four system commands.

  [Beast Spirit List] tells what beast spirits you have and what bonuses you got.

  [Racial Origin List] tells details about my race story, which my dad told me already, and what benefits my race gives.

  [Gate Factors List] tells what adds up to the probabilities in a successful attempt of acquiring a beast spirit.

  [Details] just gives an explanation on what a certain term means.

  ...the more I stay in this world, the more I think it's a game.
