84  The System's Strange Behavior

"What the?" Zeras looked beneath him as he saw the white tell beneath him sink in while small cracks like spiderwebs could be seen.

He couldn't believe what just happened as he felt like the tile beneath him was mud instead of ground. It was so soft it sank in on him stepping on it...

He unconsciously clenched his fists together into a punch as he threw out a single punch, and then

BOOOM

The air visibly spun as a shockwave rippled in front of him causing him to become slightly dazed and also shocked speechless.

Zeras wanted to spend some time admiring his crazy growth in strength but the horrifying pain assaulting his body made him ignore that as he moved in the direction of the bathroom to first clean his body from impurities.

A young man with a white handsome face and raven dark hair stood in front of the mirror as his well-developed body shone through it.

Zeras looked at himself as he gave a nod muttering to himself.

"I feel my life has never been so good than this few days before..." To be honest, his life has never been truly this good before.

Zeras looked at his hair as it suddenly changed to a blue color before once again changing to a purple then green then pure white.

"Hmm, how about..."

Zeras suddenly activates Bio-morph, as his hair suddenly becomes curly while a purple and green colour appears on the sides of it a the same time...

"Um, system, what's going on..." Zeras asked as he normally wouldn't be able to have his hair change to two colors at the same time, but now he could even make his hair curly if he wanted. Something that surprised him.

[As The Host Cultivation grows, so is his control over his genetic abilities.]

"Woah, that's seriously cool..." Zeras said as he suddenly wished for his color to become black, and a black figure appeared in front of him. With one more thought, he suddenly thought of a figure in his mind, and Zera's hair suddenly became longer as it changed to a white color, while his eye pupils disciple also became white.

With a single thought, he transformed into Triton Elvianor.

"I can bet Triton will immediately become an idiot when he sees me right now. I wonder if the Absolute Morph Gene had any weaknesses. That's why it's probably called the Absolute." Zeras muttered to himself with pride but the system voice immediately rang in his head.

"Oh, what's that?" Zeras said as he took a pose in front of the mirror and soon transformed once again into the muscular golden hair and eyed figure of Vornek.

[It is very easy for you to lose yourself to your genes, and once you do that, the majority of life would be spent searching for your real identity]

The system replied as Zeras noticed its voice suddenly changing as it became very serious and more...feminine.

"What do you mean to lose myself? How can I forget who I am?" Zeras said laughing mockingly at the stupid system.

[Host will soon realize what I'm saying once his power grows] "Well, I can't wait for the day my Gene will cause me to lose my memories, genetically too. Haha" [Idiot]

Zeras immediately choked on his laughter as he looked at the system strangely.

"System, why are you behaving a little less robotic than normal?" Zeras asked as he noticed the system didn't call him Host like it usually does once, and now it even replied to his words, something it normally ignored unless there was important information.

[System also is unaware, but it is most likely due to the host increasing his Level. That's why I'm giving more and more authority and our fusion is increasing with each increase in level. I can even hear Host thoughts too, even though it is rare, If the host reaches Level 10, I'm sure there'll be a monumental change to the system too.]

Zera's eyes narrowed looking at the information as he didn't know whether to be happy or cautious of such a change. But he was still at level 7 now, it would still take some time before level up to 10. He had time in his pockets.

[Quest is getting generated...]

[Main Quest Generated]

[Side Quest: Meet with Gaia Shiron.]

[Reward:

1.)+300EXP

2.)+1 Ability Upgrade card.

"WHATTTT???"Zeras stood there numbed as he looked at the strange notification.

"System, have you gone crazy?"

[The probability of the system going crazy is 0%. It's the most probably the Host that has gone crazy...]

"You..." Zeras almost choked a second time as a vein popped on his head.

"Um, what I mean is what's with the strange quest? Meeting with someone? And with such great rewards too?" Zeras asked.

When he was risking his life fighting the Rattlesnake, he was only giving a measly 250 points even after having his butt lased several times and his life on the line. But now, he gets 300EXP and even an ability upgrade card just for meeting with Gaia. How was that fair?

[As I Said, Quest Generated is beyond my control. I'm only an AI meant to guide. The real deal is still the System. Though I begin to feel that's only because the Host level is too low and it's also decreasing my authority.]

'You sound like I'm dragging you down or something...' Zeras thought secretly.

"Oh? then who is generating the quest..." Zeras asked, his brows furrowed.

[Host level is too low to access the information]

"Tch, not like I even care. So far just talking to Gaia will give me so much reward. Then who am I to complain..." Zeras said as he dressed in his new EIA uniform for the Inter-dimensional Combat Class.

Today, he'll be searching for Gaia to complete his quest. However, he was also curious about why the system requested a meeting with Gaia.

Besides, he could still remember Commander Shiron's strange request to protect Gaia. As for what she is to be protected from, Zeras still doesn't know to this day. In a way, he felt a rope was being tied, but he didn't understand what it was holding.

"She was the one who cured me when I was injured... I really should go and see her and say thank you..." Zeras muttered under his breath as he shut the door and slowly headed outside.

Golden Tickets and Powerstones are greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
