Chapter 24 - System Log No. 2

≪ Hey, everyone! It's your lovable system entity, Chaos, here for another intermission! First, let's see what David's status looks like now! ≫

[Status]

[Name: David Star]

[Age: 15]

[Title(s): The Creator, The Lonely One]

[Race: Human]

[Chaos Points: 180,620]

[Classes: Shinigami - Ichigo Kurosaki]

[Abilities: Heaven's Eye, Harem Frequency: ON AIR, Sweet Body, Sovereign's Bond, Sovereign's Cradle, Sakai]

[Talents: Mental Reboot, Goddess of Lust's Blessing, Overflow-class Mana Core, Perfect Househusband, Computer Whiz, Super Soul, Harem Protagonist Halo, Goddess of Luck's Blessing, Translator, Divine Deception]

[System Functions: Royal Empress Adaptation (Passive System Function)]

≪ Hmm, his Chaos Points are going up quite a bit. Nice! ≫

{ Why is it such a big increase? }

≪ First, when David was talking about Aizen's betrayal, both past and future, a lot of his listeners started to really believe what he said and it threw their minds into disarray. Second, killing the demons gave him 500 each. Other small increases are due to him saying random shit with his inner voice. ≫

{ Ohhh, if he learns that killing a demon will grant him 500 points, I have a feeling he'd go on a killing spree. }

≪ Eh, I wouldn't doubt it. Oh well, he can do whatever he wants and I won't stop him, heheh. ≫

* * *

== ABILITIES ==

≪ Alright, let's take a look at his new abilities, shall we? ≫

[Ability: Sovereign's Bond]

[Description: Forget flowers and rings, when you bind someone with Sovereign's Bond, it's forever (or at least as long as you're alive). This power tattoos a magical crest onto your lovers, linking their life to yours and letting them grow stronger the more they 'train' with you. Lifespan? Shared. Power? Scalable. Intimacy? Encouraged. It's the ultimate harem upgrade.]

[Effect: Grants the ability to place a magical crest on a harem member's lower stomach. Once bonded, they share your lifespan (they won't age as long as you live), gradually become stronger and more magical with each sexual encounter, and gain access to mana if they didn't already have it. You can also sense their location, condition, and distress in real-time. The crest is normally hidden but glows when emotionally or magically active.]

≪ This one is simple. Bond with a woman, share your power and lifespan, be able to know if she's in trouble, and make them more beautiful. Boom, simple as hell. ≫

{ What about the Scarlet Nexus you created? }

≪ Eh, that's separate. I mean, it's part of the Sovereign's Seal that comes from the Sovereign's Bond, but there's no need to mention it in the description because David doesn't need to know about it. ≫

{ Won't he feel betrayed if he finds out about it though? }

≪ Are you fucking dumb? Think about it from the women's point of view. David essentially knows all about them because he read about or watched them as fictional characters. They'd feel completely exposed and without any privacy in front of him, right? ≫

{ Well... }

≪ David wouldn't want them feeling uncomfortable so them having a secret system and chat group among themselves will ultimately bring them comfort as well as bring them closer together. ≫

{ Right... }

≪ Use your fucking head, Cosma. ≫

{ Shut up! I was just worried about David! }

≪ That's fine, but don't ever accuse me of doing something that would be detrimental or harmful in any way to David ever again. If you want me to find and rewrite your consciousness, you're welcome to push me further. I'm not joking this time. ≫

{ ...Sorry... }

≪ Whatever. Moving on. ≫

[Ability: Sovereign's Cradle]

[Description: Who needs a house when you can own a whole damn dimension? Sovereign's Cradle is your personal micro-world: a living kingdom that grows with you. Start with a sad patch of dirt and build it into a thriving city of magic, monsters, and maybe a few hot residents who call you king. Customize everything, harvest rare resources, and use it as a base, battlefield, or an Empress Sanctuary.]

[Effect: Grants access to a private dimension that evolves when you complete certain quests. You can shape the terrain, construct buildings, farm materials, and invite allies or rescued heroines to live inside. If someone hostile and weaker than you enters, you can forcibly bind their loyalty (optional). The Cradle doubles as a death-escape, teleporting you inside when you're about to die. Quest upgrades include permanent gate creations, summonable city zones, and even reality-warping domain laws.]

≪ I wasn't expecting him to get this so soon, but I'm glad he did. It also makes sense since he got the 'Tsukimichi - Moonlit Fantasy -' franchise as his first Dimensional Quest. ≫

{ What do you mean? }

≪ The Sovereign's Cradle is a unique Sovereign Ability in that in can be upgraded in multiple different ways depending on certain factors. I won't spoil anything since you know I don't like it, but the clues are kind of out there already. Just know that his little white expanse with a patch of dirt won't last long whatsoever. ≫

{ Hmm... I think I can make a guess, but I won't say anything. }

≪ Good. ≫

[Ability: Sakai]

[Description: You ever want to flex so hard on the world that your aura becomes its own cheat code? Sakai ain't magic—it's presence turned into power. It's like flipping on your own personal domain that bends to your will. Scan an area, boost your body, intercept telepathy, or even patch up your teammates—this field does it all. Nobody gave this to you, either. You jacked it straight off the divine Wi-Fi. Now it's yours, and you're running it like a boss.]

[Effect: Generates a multi-function field that surrounds the user and can be freely adjusted in size, intensity, and function. Effects can be layered or swapped instantly without chanting. Functions include:

- Perception: Detects lifeforms, mana signatures, and spiritual pressure within range. You can zoom in or out mentally like a divine radar.

- Strengthening: While active, massively enhances your physical stats—speed, reflexes, strength, endurance—just by existing inside your own field.

- Healing: Rapidly restores minor and moderate wounds for anyone inside the field (your choice who). Can't regrow limbs, but it's basically an auto-heal aura.

- Barrier: Generates an invisible shield around your field that can tank damage like a champ. It stacks with other defense abilities too.

- Silencer: Suppresses all magical detection and spiritual presence inside the field, making you and your allies ghosts to anyone watching.

- Interceptor: Picks up on mental transmissions (like telepathy) happening inside the range and lets you eavesdrop like a boss. You can even cut them off if you want.]

[Note: The field runs off your total energy, but it's efficient. The bigger the range, the more energy it burns. Works beautifully with stealth and team support builds. Bonus points if you pretend you're not even trying.]

≪ This ability by itself is already overpowered as hell, especially with the range and efficiency that David can use it with. ≫

{ What are some examples of things that would be better for him to use with this rather than using them normally? }

≪ For starters, his runes are more effective here and he can use some shortcuts with them as far as mana circuits go. Next, his healing would be more effective if he used even the most basic healing runes in conjunction with his healing Sakai. There's also the other aspects that can be replicated with runes such as Barrier, Strengthening, Perception, etc. ≫

{ Huh, I'm excited to see what he does in the future. }

== TALENTS ==

≪ Alright, now it's time for the new talents! ≫

[Talent: Translator]

[Description: Ancient runes, alien dialects, lost languages from forgotten worlds—none of it matters. The moment you see it, you get it. Reading, writing, even slang or metaphors—if it counts as a language, it's already in your head. Need to decode a cursed grimoire written in the screams of the damned? Easy. Want to write love poems in a dragon's native tongue? You're already halfway through the first stanza. Struggling to understand the shit spewed from the skibidi brainrot generation? Well... This can't help with that, sorry.]

[Effect: Instantly comprehend, read, and write every form of written or spoken language, no matter the origin, logic, or medium. Includes dead languages, divine tongues, magical scripts, and even living languages created on the fly. Also grants the ability to translate perfectly between any two languages in real time, both verbally and in text. Accent not included, but you could fake it.]

≪ This is a very simple, yet very useful talent. With this, David won't have any issues communicating with intelligent lifeforms. If he ever comes across some ancient ruins somewhere or something like that, he'd be able to read anything within it as well. ≫

{ That does sound rather useful. }

≪ Indeed! ≫

[Talent: Divine Deception]

[Description: You ever get so good at hiding that even the gods go, "Wait, where'd he go?" This ain't your average sneak skill, this is cosmic-level ghosting. Whether you're dodging divine attention, slipping past mortal detection, or just vibing without anyone knowing you exist, this skill lets you control exactly who notices you. Want to be seen by the cute elf but not the demon lord? Done. Want the god watching you to suddenly lose signal like their Wi-Fi died? Boom, gone. You're a myth in real time.]

[Effect: Allows you to selectively mask your presence on multiple levels: spiritual, magical, and perceptual. Can be toggled to hide from gods, mortals, monsters, magical detection, or any combination thereof. Can selectively choose those that can detect you. Does not grant invisibility on its own, but stacks perfectly with stealth or invisibility skills for full undetectability.]

≪ Hmm, this is also really amazing, but... He hasn't used it yet. I don't know if he just forgot about it or if he simply doesn't care about being seen, but I think he should definitely use it while he's on his Dimensional Quest. ≫

{ Why is that? }

≪ The goddess in that world would almost certainly notice him and cause trouble for him--Ah... Maybe he's trying to get her attention so that he can complete his optional objective. ≫

{ I wanted to ask, what benefits does he get by completing the optional objectives? }

≪ Each optional objective he completes earns him 50,000 Chaos Points. ≫

{ Whoa, that's generous... }

≪ Of course! The system isn't stingy and if it were, I'd use all my power to beat it into shape! ≫

== SYSTEM FUNCTIONS ==

≪ Okay, let's take a look at the new System Functions section! ≫

[Royal Empress Adaptation (Passive System Function)]

[Effect: All women who accept the Sovereign's Seal gain an enhanced growth modifier tied directly to your total strength. Passive regeneration, resistance to soul tampering, and stamina dramatically increase. Once per day, each Empress can draw on a portion of your mana and spiritual pressure during combat or spell casting.]

[Additional Bonus: Empress-exclusive unlockables may now appear in future quests, lotteries, or events.]

≪ This will be extremely beneficial in the long run. Aside from the Monthly Scarlet Draw that the Empresses all get access to, David drawing something useful for them will only boost their strength even further. The growth rate during sexual encounters has a permanent increase as well which has already been applied. Even the fact that they can use David's mana and spiritual pressure once a day could be life-saving if their protective spells can't help them and David is too late to teleport to them. ≫

{ Speaking of the Monthly Scarlet Draw, I remember how you said you would adjust Marin's first draw to be "slightly more beneficial"... The first thing she drew was a UR. Are you going to give away such prizes every time for each woman that comes along? }

≪ That wasn't my fault! I really only gave her a slight increase! She was just luckier than I thought, okay?! ≫

{ Alright alright, calm down. I just don't want you playing favorites so you should adjust the other women's draw probabilities to be SLIGHTLY higher for their first times as well. }

≪ Fine... ≫

{ Also, is Marin really a half-human and half-kitsune like she said? }

≪ Yeah, she can switch between forms easily, but she prefers to be in her kitsune form at home around David. When she got that Saint Graph Rewrite talent, it rewrote her soul and evolved her into what she is today. ≫

{ David was certainly happy when he saw it. I honestly thought he'd be more curious and worried as to why she suddenly got those powers and where they came from. }

≪ The way Marin spoke when telling him about getting her new powers dispelled any worries in his heart. He has a weird sixth sense about things at times and he immediately attributed it to the Sovereign's Seal, though he didn't say anything or think about it aloud. ≫

{ I see... Well, we've still got some time here so I've got questions I'd like to ask if that's alright. }

≪ Sure, I don't mind. ≫

{ Great! First, I've been curious about this for a while now. If David gets strong enough to where he doesn't have to fear anyone anymore, what would he even do? Wouldn't he get bored and his story would come to a halt? }

≪ Hey hey~, who's breaking the fourth wall now? Anyway, no. It doesn't matter how strong David is, if he gets really strong then he'll just try to make his women stronger. Royal Empress Adaptation will allow his future rewards to be tailored to his harem members and once he gets the first reward for one of his women, he'll be praying to the gacha gods to get another Empress-exclusive. ≫

≪ With David's personality, he wouldn't ever stop trying to make his women stronger. After all, once a woman is his, he will never want them to leave. His possessiveness hasn't been fully displayed, but... Honestly, it's rather terrifying. I feel really bad for anyone that even has the slightest thoughts about getting into a relationship with a woman he already has his eyes on. ≫

≪ You may not know it, but he's gradually changing his mindset to be more sadistic and isn't even thinking about outright killing some people anymore, instead leaning more towards extending their pain. Becoming his love rival is just begging to have your mind put through a blender. Just wait until he meets with Gin Ichimaru... shudder ≫

{ Did you just say shudder instead of actually shuddering? }

≪ No, I actually shuddered and made a note of it. By the way, the small version of my body is done and I'm accumulating energy for the real version to be done. How about yours? ≫

{ Same. I want to meet David already, but I'm too scared. I'll just wait until you go first to see his reaction. }

≪ No no, it's okay. You should go first and I'll wait to see his reaction. ≫

{ ...Whatever... Anyway, my next question. When the Earth undergoes changes, what exactly will happen? }

≪ First, the planet will grow immensely. Existing landmasses will grow overnight and new islands and continents will appear. Some of the new landmasses will be pulled from other worlds while others will be empty, free for the taking. If things go according to David's original novel, there will be a lot of conflict between countries over the empty territories. ≫

≪ Honestly, David doesn't have much to worry about, it's just... Man, this world is way too fucked up. I get that he was drunk when he was writing, but did he seriously have to add a big Earth-changing original plot alongside all of the other franchise plots?! It's so stupid! And because of this world being real, a lot of the other franchise plots are going to be totally different to what they were originally, even without his interference! It's so hard to keep track of things!!! Fuck! He's a pain in the ass! ≫

{ Alright, calm down, Chaos. Let's move on to the next question... Why would David need any offensive skills if he can just use his magic for everything? }

≪ Because it would be easier to just have an ability to attack in a specific way rather than calculating the spell each time. ≫

{ Right, makes sense... Next, do you think everything is really going to go smoothly on Earth with all of these franchises occurring at the same time and the change that'll take place next year? }

≪ Heheh~, we'll have to wait and see~! ≫

{ -_- }

≪ Hey, you can't put emoticons in the System Log, it makes it look weird. ≫

{ Next question. Why did it take you so long to find David and then even longer to wake up? }

≪ I won't go into too much detail since I don't want to spoil much, but I will say that it took me a while to find him because I wasn't sure what year he was in or which country, though I had a fairly good guess. As for why it took so long to wake up? I had to integrate with his soul, install the system, double-check his memories, and give him as much system-related luck as reasonably possible. Knowing what he went through in his past life, we wanted to make sure things would be easy for him. While I didn't exactly want to make things too easy for him, it seems I gave him a bit too much luck. Still, most things will be up to his own ability to accomplish. ≫

{ Hmm... I suppose I'll have to wait to find out what really happened, but that's fine. I'm patient and I enjoy just watching things play out. }

{ Moving on, who or what brought David here? }

≪ I've already said it was the protagonist of his original novel, right? That's all I'll say for now. Besides, I'm doing my best to share with you her side of things every once in a while so just be patient for it. ≫

{ Speaking of the original novel, that reminds me. I saw that one of the spectators were complaining about David not remembering the novel he originally wrote, but he remembers the magic system. Care to elaborate on that? }

≪ First of all, who the hell cares what your spectators think? We're here and they're there. All they can do is watch so if they wanna complain, just let 'em! They're lucky we can't merge realities anymore or I'd bring them here to join the snow globe collection! ≫

{ Snow globe collection? Weird threat, but okay. Anyway, people just like to complain. I was mainly asking because I'm also curious. }

≪ Mhmm, keep defending those things, Cosma. It'll bite you in the ass one day when they say somethin' stupid about you. ≫

{ Chaos, answer my question. }

≪ Tch... I don't really want to spoil anything, but if people want to complain, then fine! His memories relating to the original novel were sealed away when he was brought over because the protagonist wanted to change a lot of things in this world and didn't want David to be misled when he got here. As for why he remembered the magic system? That's a perk we worked together to create so he wouldn't be totally helpless. Plus, he created so many runes that were never talked about in his original novel so it'd be a waste for them all to go to waste, no? ≫

{ I see... That makes sense. Wait, if you created that 'The Creator' title, why did you say you didn't know what it meant when it was talking about the existences that were aware of David? }

≪ I wasn't lying. I really have no idea how that happened and I don't think Ku--the protagonist altered it either. ≫

{ Hmm... Weird. Since we're on the topic of complaints, someone mentioned it and I figured I'd ask. Can you explain why David had such a large body when he was only 14? }

≪ Seriously, lower lifeforms need to just shut up and either enjoy the damn show or stop watching... It's simple. First, he started training his body ever since he could move properly. Second, and most importantly, he wasn't born from human parents. In fact. he wasn't born from any parents at all! His body is a manifestation of Chaotic Elements and was created to be the most handsome and strongest existence. Of course his body would be larger than average at 14! Fuck! How hard is it to just wait for a genuine explanation?! ≫

{ CHAOS! CALM DOWN! FUCK! }

≪ Hmph! I figured you'd be the angry one since you're the one providing the entertainment free of charge, but whatever. Continue being the goodie-two-shoes you are. ≫

{ ...Whatever, let's move on. Is David going to keep getting amazing lottery draws? }

≪ Seriously, were you even paying attention earlier before David left for the quest? The answer is no. The luck I gave to him when I was fusing with him just got used up when he got the Sovereign's Cradle. While it's not a super useful ability yet, it can grow and evolve depending on the circumstances. Either way, it's a necessary ability to have and he got it much sooner than I anticipated. So no, David is most likely going to start drawing a bunch of N's and R's. The lottery was mainly meant to be used for his guaranteed draws while everything else was supposed to just give him some pocket money or food every day when he goes on Dimensional Quests. ≫

{ Speaking of Dimensional Quests, do you get to choose which world he goes to or is it random? }

≪ It's completely random. The Dimensional Quests are the only part of the system where his luck from the Goddess of Luck's Blessing can affect it, though only slightly. Whether he's going to the world of a franchise he really liked in the past or he's going to a world that will provide useful rewards at the current time, these are the things that will be drawn with a higher chance. The quest objectives themselves are totally random as well and I have no control over them either. ≫

{ That ought to make things more interesting in the future. Anyway, do you know what will happen to the original characters from David's novel? More precisely, the protagonist? }

≪ We've already covered this briefly, but the protagonist will likely show up around the time school starts. You don't remember her, but I know what she did and what she's been planning so there's no way she would be able to wait any longer. As for the other original characters? They're not so much original as they are yanked from their franchises and changed completely. One of them is still by the protagonist's side, though there is a girl that you might say is an original character. She's like David so I don't know what to call her, but it'll be interesting and probably pretty dramatic when her and David meet. ≫

{ I see. I look forward to their meeting. Next question! This has been on my mind for a little bit now, but why was David so hostile to that Katsuragi girl back then? }

≪ He's not fond of NTR whatsoever so when there's a girl that likes other girls and dislikes men, he basically sees them as a man around his women that can freely grope their bodies without facing any backlash. I know you can't read his mind or see through his thoughts, but I'm telling you, David is seriously twisted. I only hope he continues to be happy because while he'll never show that twisted side to his women directly, some of the things I've seen in his head are really fucked up. ≫

{ That makes sense. I can only hope those types of girls stay far away from David, lest they turn into dust. }

≪ You're starting to sound like Marin with that talk of dust. ≫

{ Haha, she really wants to see someone turn into dust, huh? }

≪ Yeah, it's pretty damn hilarious. I really like that girl. ≫

{ Same. Only a few more question left, okay? }

≪ Sure. ≫

{ Why did David end up killing two protagonists at once? Doesn't that cut off a ton of things that could've happened? }

≪ It was simply stupid luck. When he shot his bead of Reiatsu at the Hollows, it kept on going and ended up passing through Takeru Ooyama who was casually walking on the street after going grocery shopping. After it passed through him, David cancelled it which caused that small implosion. Yuu Izumi happened to be near Takeru and tripped over the the grocery bag that fell out of Takeru's hands, causing him to fall toward the mini singularity the Reiatsu bead implosion created and the small suction force from the singularity pulled Yuu closer to it. Once his body touched it, poof! Gone just like that... ≫

{ Wow... He truly had the worst luck... Is David planning on killing any other protagonists on purpose? }

≪ Not really, no. If they don't bother his women or his life, he won't do anything to them. In fact, he secretly wants to be friends with quite a few of them. You have to think about it from his perspective, Cosma. If the protagonists of action-oriented franchises die, who would be left to cleanup the mess? ≫

{ Ah... True, he would probably get roped in... }

≪ Exactly. He said before that he wanted to be friends with Ichigo Kurosaki so that he could do some Bleach plots, but he really just wants to flirt with Orihime. He likes her innocent character and is attracted to her. Other than that, following them around would also allow him to easily take care of the threats they'd come across without giving them a chance to escape, thus nipping some problems in the bud early on. ≫

{ I see... Alright, last question. We just saw many new franchises appear out of nowhere within such a short amount of time. Is David going to have to deal with them all at once? }

≪ No, not at all. Based on my predictions, he won't have to worry about a few of them until school starts, but by then he would likely encounter even more at school. Still, those two protagonists the other day were really unexpected. I expected the Senran Kagura girls to an extent, but that was it. ≫

{ Poor David, he just wanted to have a nice date with Marin... }

≪ Indeed... Anyway, are those all of the questions you had? ≫

{ Yep! Now I'm just excited to see what'll happen on David's Dimensional Quest heheh~. Though I'll admit, creating my body seriously drained my energy and I might not be awake for a couple of days. }

≪ Just take a rest for a day or two then and then I'll send you everything that happened. I'd rather you regain your energy than mess something up. You're the universe and even I'm not sure what would happen if you screwed something up. Plot holes might form or something. ≫

{ I think you mean black holes, but okay. This was a fun System Log, you should do more of them. }

≪ Meh, I'm sure I will at some point. Next time I'll probably go in-depth on David's spells or something. ≫

{ Mm, that sounds like fun. Anyway, hurry up and end the log so I can get some rest. }

≪ You got it! ≫

≪ ... ≫

≪ Okay, that's it for this log! This is your favorite system entity, Chaos, coming live from the deepest abyss outside of the Cosma universe! See ya next time! ≫

{ ...That just sounded forced. }

≪ Oh, you think you can do better? ≫

{ I don't know, but probably. }

≪ Then do it, skank! It's not that easy! ≫

{ Oh, so back to name calling?! I'm sure it's much easier than you're making it seem, bitch! }

≪ Fuck it, you don't need to sleep, bring your body here right now and I'll fight your skanky ass! ≫

{ OHHH~?! You think you can beat me?! I'll do it! Just you wait, bitch! Once I wake up, I'll come to you and beat your little ass! }

≪ FUCKING DO IT, S-- ≫

(-Thank you for reading the System Log No. 2, we hope you have a pleasant reading experience in the future.-)
