Chapter 130: Unknown White Girl

Both Eren and Useless blinked blankly at Seraphina, who stood frozen, her wide eyes locked onto the floating, purple holographic system screen hovering in the air.

Seeing this unexpected situation, Eren frowned and mentally asked the system, ’Useless. What does this mean?’

[I-I don’t know!] Useless replied, clearly panicking. It sounded more confused than ever, not understanding how someone other than its master could see it.

[Just a second, Master... It seems... this is a new feature that was added to the system after the last upgrade.]

Eren narrowed his eyes. ’Explain.’

Useless quickly responded, explaining that since Seraphina was now his blood contracted-slave, spiritually connected to his soul, and the system itself was soul-bound to its host, she had gained partial access through him as a medium.

[Although I’m not entirely sure why this feature even exists... I’m still unfamiliar with all the capabilities of Rank 4. This is the first time I’ve reached this level,] Useless admitted. As a sentient AI, even it was still figuring things out about its new rank and features.

Eren didn’t look convinced. A small crease formed on his brow as he considered the possibility that this strange feature was intentionally the work of the system’s creator.

Meanwhile, Seraphina pouted, arms crossed. "...Are you going to tell me what this thing is, or keep ignoring me like the usual?"

She already knew Eren wouldn’t tell her everything about himself, but he also wasn’t exactly secretive about his strange abilities. He had openly showed her the game consoles, summoned magic scrolls, and various other high artifacts from thin air. Without wearing any spatial ring or magical storage artifact.

Looking back at the fox-eared maid, Eren lifted a brow and pointed lazily at the holographic screen.

"Can You really see it?"

Seraphina tilted her head slightly. "?... Yes?"

"Can you hear it talk?"

Eren then commanded Useless to speak aloud.

[Hello?]

Seraphina’s eyes lit up in surprise.

"Yeah? Wait! It can talk?!"

Eren ignored her reaction, leaning his head back as he thought over his options. Should he erase her memory by slamming her head with a hammer, and then try to somehow hide the system’s existence from her? No... that wouldn’t work. If she could see and hear it through their bond, there was no taking that back.

’Wait... why do I even care ?’ he thought with annoyance.

By now, Sera was leaning closer to the floating panel, poking at it experimentally. Her finger passed through the display, much like how her own personal Signet Status Panel behaved.

"Hey, human. Are you going to explain what this thing is, or keep ignoring me?" she asked, annoyed.

She had noticed that he was hesitating in his eyes. That meant he could answer. Which meant she wasn’t letting it go.

But Eren’s expression turned cold and unreadable again.

"Just ask it," he replied flatly, stunning both Seraphina and Useless.

[W-What?! Master?!] Useless panicked. This was not part of protocol.

"If she has questions, just answer them in my place," Eren said, leaning lazily back against the bedframe.

He added in thought, ’You can choose what to say. If you’re still worried, then don’t reveal too much. Tell her you’re my skill or something. I doubt she even knows what a system really is.’

Useless hesitated. [...But Master, isn’t this risky? She might--]

’--Do what? Report about you? To who?’ Eren cut it off coldly. Useless went silent, unable to come up with any good counterargument.

Meanwhile, Seraphina remained standing, blinking in confusion. "Did... that purple thing just nod at me? Can it really answer questions?"

And as if on cue, the floating panel approach her as it lit up.

[...What do you want to ask?] Useless replied in its robotic flat tone.

Seraphina’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. This was more interesting than any magic artifact she’d ever seen.

While the two began interacting, Eren returned to his own interface, opening the newly unlocked features that came with Useless’s upgrade to Rank 4.

To his surprise, the number of available functions had significantly increased.

There was now a Mapping Feature that displayed a game-like map of his surroundings. A timer. An expanded inventory. And—he frown with stoic gaze—a Gacha Rolling feature. His eyes went dull at that one.

But what caught his real interest was the Shop Interface.

Under the Entertainment section, there were now even more video games than before. Some he didn’t even recognize. There were also downloadable movies, anime, TV series, and TV dramas—even manga and light novels.

He could waste so much time now. Truly, a heaven for a shut-in like him.

Then came the Modern Goods section, which included things like: a bicycle, a car, a motorcycle, a TV, a drone, a house (?!), and even a helicopter.

...And some "adult" Stuff that had their own warning label.

There was even a new Weapons and Artifacts category that now included modern firearms like pistols, magic pistols, rifles, magic rifles, sniper guns, rocket launchers, magic rockets, magic grenades? explosives mines? magic mines, a C4 bomb? and... was that a nuclear missile?

Eren blinked slowly.

’Does the system actually encouraging me to nuke some cities?’ he thought with a dark chuckle.

He wouldn’t lie. The idea was... strangely tempting.

As Eren scrolled through the endless lists in the system shop, he discovered a slew of new items that hadn’t been there before: colorful potions of varying effects, enchanted magic scrolls, ancient artificials, elemental grimoires, fancy staves, and even shimmering magic wands. There was so much now that it made the shop feel like a full-blown RPG store from some expansive fantasy game.

But then something unusual caught his attention. A new category tab shimmered faintly to the side. He scrolled toward it, curious.

"What the heck is this...?"

Eren stared at the screen blankly. His face turned dull as his eyes flickered from one Murim item to another.

’...it the system trolling or what?’

With a sigh, he closed the shop panel and turned his eyes to the small red notification mark blinking on the inbox icon.

Tapping on it, a new screen unfolded.

---

[Inbox]

[A Gift Has Been Sent]

[Open?]

He clicked it without much thought. A bright flash shimmered on his lap as a solid object materialized—a book. An old one. Bound in faded brown leather, slightly worn at the corners, and carrying a peculiar presence.

The title, printed clearly in English on the cover, read:

"Valoria Legends: The Savior"

And beneath that, the author’s initials: W.H.

Eren’s brows raised. Curious, he flipped open to the first page. His expression shifted.

"A script...?"

...

...

...

Meanwhile, Somewhere Unknown...

In an enormous void of darkness that’s no in Valoria—a place where time held no meaning—an ethereal being worked in silence.

It was like a scene straight from a high-tech sci-fi movie.

A lone figure stood in the center, surrounded by floating blue holographic screens projecting countless lines of code, data, charts, timelines, and simulations. Her body was slim, smooth, and pale like porcelain, and she had long silvery-white hair cascading to the ground like threads of moonlight. She looked like a young girl, but the way she moved and the aura she gave off made it clear: she was no mere human.

Her elegant fingers flew across two curved, glowing keyboards that floated before her. Her eyes, emotionless and bright with divine intelligence, scanned through the endless data streams. Alien symbols flickered across the screens, shifting too fast for any mortal to comprehend. She was multitasking at inhuman speed—like an otherworldly being.

Then suddenly—

One of the floating screens blinked. It turned red. It pulsed.

Her gaze snapped toward it.

Raising one hand, she pulled it closer with a gesture and tapped it. The screen expanded into a large alert window. Streams of unstable numbers and shifting probability lines poured in.

[WARNING! WARNING!]

[A SHIFT HAS OCCURRED IN THE PROBABILITY THREAD!]

Her white eyes narrowed.

With rapid precision, she brought up more windows. Her fingers moved like a blur across the keyboards, as she searched for the root of the disturbance. New data windows exploded into view. Each one connected like a giant spider web to the red alert.

Soon, a map appeared—something like a satellite image of the Valoria geographic.

She scrolled across regions until her eyes locked on one blinking red dot in the western continent. The Kingdom of Aisman. Valmont Territory.

Tapping the dot, another panel opened, revealing a live visual feed.

It showed a purple-silver-haired maid walking through the halls of a mansion.

[Target identified,] the system confirmed.

The being recognized her instantly. The Half-fox demon. Sealed in a dungeon centuries ago. Freed. Active.

Her fingers hovered.

She zoomed in, watching the live video attentively.

The maid knocked on a door, entered a room, and respectfully bowed her head to a boy sitting on a bed—a human boy with jet-black hair, holding a book in his lap.

Then, it happened.

As the camera shifted and captured the boy’s face—

[ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!]

Every system window around her lit up red. Sirens blared. The system couldn’t analyze him. Couldn’t read his data. Couldn’t identify him. it was going crazy.

She panicked for a second.

Her fingers typed faster. Desperately inputting override commands to stop the auto-analysis before it triggered something irreversible.

Eventually, the alarms stopped. The data calmed.

She sighed in relief, then stared in silence at the screen.

The boy’s face... unreadable.

A void in the data.

Still calculating silently, she decided to observe him from now on and slid the live feed panel to the side and turned her attention back to her previous work.

But just as she did— the boy in the video, who was still reading his book...

suddenly turned his head towards her.

He looked directly at the screen.

His calm, blank expression didn’t change. But that gaze felt like it pierced through the system’s screen, staring right at her.

[.....]

But just when the girl looked back at the screen...

There he was—back to reading his book, as if nothing had happened.

The girl felt chill passed through her, as she thought someone was watching her.

Thinking it was just her imagination, she resumed typing.
