Getting A System In A Modern World

Silas took his time in the bathroom, enjoying his bath in the bathtub. It was only when Serah came to inform him that the food was ready, did he get out of it.

He dried his body and changed into a new set of clothes, and went downstairs, to the dining area.

When he got there, he saw that the table had already been set and an array of different foods were served on it, making it look like a small feast.

Silas was completely surprised by the set-up on the table, and his surprise was noticed by Emma, who was standing at a close distance from the table.

"We thought you might be very famished from your long trip and we didn't know what you would like to eat as you didn't say. So we decided to go ahead and make this," She said.

"I see..."

Silas nodded and took his seat at the dining table. He wasn't even hungry, he hasn't been for more than two months now but the foods in front of him, he's going to finish them.

Even though he doesn't feel the hunger to eat, what the girls prepared looks and smells too delicious to not be eaten. Also, his lack of hunger doesn't mean he doesn't have to eat.

Silas selected one of the dishes and scooped out of it, and brought to his mouth and took a bite.

He nodded in approval as he savored the taste of the food in his mouth.

'It looks like their cooking improved while I was away.' He thought to himself.

The last two months has seen him taste different types of cooking, and he must say that the girls cooking is still one of the best cooking he has tasted. And that's not counting Kim's cooking, the food he gets on his private jets and some cooking from some top restaurants he has visited.

What Silas is trying to say is that though the girls cooking were not at the top of the list, it still made it to the list.

Silas continued eating, savoring every of the dishes that was served on the table.

It took him almost half an hour before he was finally done. The table was previously filled up with different dishes with varying contens, was now filled with empty dishes.

After he was done, Silas stood up from his seat and was about to make his way to his room, when he saw Emma looking at him strangely.

"Is there anything on my face?" He asked curiously when he saw her staring at him.

His voice seems to have brought her back from her deep thought as she smiled and shook her, in a flustered manner.

"Nothing sir." She replied.

She seemed to have regained her composure as she briskly walked towards the table, and started clearing the dishes.

Silas smiled at her actions and continued on his way, to his room.

He could already guess the reason for Emma looking at him strangely, the drastic changes in his appearance.

He has been attracting attention everywhere he goes with his appearance and it was also for the same reason he was approached by someone of the opposite the other day, offering to spend a fun time with him.

He couldn't help but smile and shake his head when he remembered it.

When he got to his room, Silas walked to his bed and let his body to free fall, face-first to the conformable king-sized bed.

With a soft thump, his body landed and sank slightly into the bed.

Silas turned his body and was now facing the ceiling, and started thinking of his next line of action.

Silas plans to purchase the Atomic Printer after the warehouse he asked Luna to buy, is ready.

He didn't want to purchase it and start moving it around. He wants to immediately set it up and put it into operation after he purchased it, and the Villa isn't a place he can do that.

Silas decided to pull up the system points section of his status panel and take a look at the amount of system points he has again.

[Lottery Ticket(s): 156,790,067⇒156,690,000]

[System Point(s): 3,759,935,000 ⇒3,761,130,000(+)]

"More than 156 million lottery tickets and 3.7 billion system points. With the amount of system points I have, I can purchase 30 Atomic Printers and I can get more system points if I draw the litter tickets I have."

He also noticed that the recent increase in the amount of system points he has, as indicated by the system and he remembered his system points farming.

"It seems like the game and the chatbot are doing quite well, as expected," He said to himself.

He thought of the gacha game he released and he turned, and looked at the Pod that was comfortably sitting at a corner in his room.

"I think it's time I check the new game that Apollo created. I have been putting it off because I didn't want to purchase another Pod and I didn't want to make the trip to the Villa, just for the game. Since I'm here, I should check it out."

He pushed himself up from the bed and walked to the Pod. He pressed the circular button by the side and it powered up.

The previous soft glow returned to the button as the Pod opened up and he got inside it, still dressed.

He noticed that he doesn't feel hot or uncomfortable even with his clothes on, in the Pod. He doesn't understand how it works but he felt that the Pod might have its own air-conditioning system, and this might be the reason for it.

After the Pod went through the ussr verification and booting process, Silas found his consciousness in the user lobby.

Silas was very curious and plans to study how the Pod, and Gear achieves what he calls the user's digital consciousness but that would be for later.

There were two icons in the user lobby, one belonged to the Domain, while the second belongs to the game, Terrasis.

Using his thought, Silas clicked on the icon of the game, Terrasis and the next moment, Silas saw an almost blinding white light that made him to raise his hand and cover his eyes in reflex. Or at least that's what he would had done in the real world, but this is just his digital consciousness.

The white light receded and Silas saw himself standing in an infinitely, endless white space.

Silas looked around the endless, empty white space in curiosity. He could guess what the white space is but he wasn't sure if is guess is correct.

He didn't follow Apollo in the game's creation process, therefore he has no prior knowledge of anything about it, except that it's set in a fantasy world.

Silas was still looking at the empty white space when he saw a small flying figure in the air, in front of him.

The small flying figures that looks like a fairy but bigger than the fairy he used to read about, was dressed in what looks to be green flower petals.

Silas studied the fairy in front of him, and he nodded in approval of its appearance that looks no different from the fairy he has seen in webtoons. If he's say what's different about it, then it would that the art is peak, making the fairy to look extremely beautiful.

This made Silas to score Apollo a point and raised expectations of the game.

Silas was still thinking about what he would experience in the game when he heard the fairy's sweet voice.

||Welcome nameless Adventurer to the world of Terrasis. You have been chosen by the Guardian and allowed access to this world.

The world of Terrasis is filled with lots of opportunities and equally balanced with danger. If you want to survive here, all you need is your strength, wit ....and maybe luck.

Please refer to your character creation panel to begin your character creation.||

Immediately after the fairy stopped talking, a blue screen appeared in front of him.

Silas took a good look at the blue screen, which is the character creation panel and started creating his character.

He didn't do much as all he did was set his name, tweaked his appearance a little and he was done.

Using the pin-point accuracy of the Pod's recreational ability, the game recreates almost everything about the player into the game world.

Apart from the player's sex, height and race, players are allowed to make little changes to their appearance.

Silas didn't understand why Apollo made it impossible to choose different race but he was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

He didn't see anything wrong in not being able to change his physical appearance. His appearance in the real world can be called peak masculine handsomesness, and he didn't change much about it.

What Silas changed in his appearance was his face and his hair color. He made a decision on the spot to play the game seriously due to the game's introduction, and for this reason he doesn't want to be recognized in-game by anyone.

He tweaked his appearance a little, toning down the color of his skin and changing his hair color from black to white.

After he was done with his character creation, he took a look at it and was nodded in satisfaction.

He wanted to choose his class but he was unable to as there's no option for it in the character creation panel.

He didn't know why Apollo made it like that and he didn't want to ask directly, as he wanted to experience the game naturally and find out everything for himself.

||You have successfully created your character and can now begin your adventure. I wish you good luck and success in your adventures, Player Godfiend. I hope to hear your legends in the world of Terrasis.||

Immediately after the fairy went silent, Silas found himself losing his balance and free falling.

"Nice work, Apollo." He said and smiled in approval.

He looked forward to what the game has to offer.
