Versatile System Online

The dinner had been as usual with nothing new to happen. Ray even told his mother and sister about him getting a place in a special class at Academy For System Users. However, there was not much enthusiasm on their side as joining the academy required one to pay a huge amount of money.

Even if one got into the Academy with a scholarship in their hands, they had to pay a huge amount of money in form of admissions fees. However, he did not say much to his family as not only did he have the means to pay the admissions fee and the money for all other procedures but he also had enough money for his family to live luxuriously. However, he had not yet broken the news of the amount of money he had obtained from the auction to his family and was still thinking of how to do so while also investing some amount of money.

Ray had just finished his dinner and was walking back to his room to log into System Online. He had many reasons to do so, with getting stronger being the most convincing one. Along with that, Aurora had also told Ray that he had to enter the game to check out the new feature that he had unlocked.

Ray excitedly entered the capsule as Aurora had been hyping him about how great and beneficial the new feature was for him and how it would allow him to unlock the real power of the system.

As Ray entered the capsule, the screen went blank and those familiar words greeted him,

"Welcome to System Online",

"Logging In",

****

As per Aurora's instructions, Ray booked a training room, and now that he had a good amount of money available for him to spend. He booked the best room, with top-grade magical puppets and arrays that allowed one to have better focus during practice.

Moreover, several arrays functioned to heal the user of the training room heal any injuries that occurred during the training session. it also allowed Ray to have a real sparring partner of his choice of strength although he had to pay extra for it, Ray kept it in mind if he had to gain any experience against fighting human beings. However, the reason that Ray chose this room was the amount of privacy it allowed the one training within the room. Moreover, due to the room being the best one could get, it was made of better materials and was not that easy to break while it also had sound and energy blocking crystals in it. This way, no form of sound or energy could leave or enter the room. Hence, making it almost impossible to spy on the person within the room.

'Creak!,

The door creaked as Ray entered. The room was well built with a simplistic design with some subtle gold engravings on the walls. Along with that, there were much better weapons on the weapons rack along with multiple battle dummies and many crystals as well. Although Ray did not know the use of these crystals. He was sure that they must have many exaggerated uses and were probably high-grade artifacts. However, these things were not Ray's goal this time around. The reason he came here was to successfully unlock the new feature of the system.

He sat down on the floor and asked Aurora,

"So… now what?, should I have to do something, or is it all upon you".

"I would say that you should be ready for an intense change within your soul and body. Just persist until it lasts and doesn't try to lose consciousness, the results would be worth it". Aurora replied to Ray while she started the process.

However, there was one thing Ray did not understand, hence he immediately asked,

"Hey!!, what do you mean by not losing consciousness and why should I pers-,".

"Aaahhhhhh", a shrill scream sounded within the room as Ray screamed in pain. He was just in the middle of his sentence when the process started, catching him off guard.

Ray gritted his teeth and sat in a lotus position while he tried his best not to scream from the immense pain coming from within him. His whole body pained as if someone was inserting a million needles within every single pore of his body. Moreover, his head had a splitting headache and it felt as if someone was forcefully tearing down his soul and sewing it again after tearing it down. All of this pain was still bearable, however, the worst thing was something else. It was the mana within his body going crazy and flooding all of his body. Ray tried to calm down the mana but his control over mana had not reached such an extent and the immense pain caused his control over mana to weaken significantly causing severe internal injuries.

There was nothing Ray could do and he tried his best. He even tried calling Aurora but there was no response from her. It caused his expression to turn ugly and he just persisted with it and seconds ticked by. Sweat trickled down his forehead while blood also started seeping down from the corners of his mouth as he had bit his tongue so much that blood seeped out. The pain had started to get worse.

This continued for about half an hour until suddenly, something within Ray's body reacted. Suddenly, a warm current spread through his body and embraced his body. As the current spread through his body, Ray felt the pain lessen considerably while internal injuries caused by his mana rampaging around his body also healed. Moreover, the warm current started flowing rhythmically.

Ray felt an extreme amount of power coursing through his body. He felt as if he could punch a hole through a mountain. However, Ray knew that it was just an illusion that came from high levels of power coursing through his body. As the warm current spread through his body and continued coursing, Ray reached a bottleneck for his breakthrough. However, he did not have to do anything as, the moment he reached the bottleneck, his body broke through on its own accord without him using any strength to break through.

Following the breakthrough, Ray felt as if some invisible shackles had fallen off his body and he had been freed from all worldly restraints. At this moment, he felt much freer, much lighter as if he could fly through this universe like an immortal fairy and free himself from everything.

The euphoric feeling of strength coursing through his body did not last long nor did the feeling of breaking through last long. As immediately after Ray broke through, a black goo-like substance poured out of his body. His every pore and orifice had the black gooish substance coming out. The substance smelled so bad that Ray had the urge to vomit the moment it started coming out of his body. It smelled as if someone had mixed rotten eggs and rotten vegetables along with spoiled food left for several days.

Ray, really could not bear it and puked his guts out until only bile came out of his puke.

"I wouldn't have had such a dinner if I had known of this happening to me", Ray cursed under his breath. However, it was at this moment, that a series of notifications sounded within his consciousness.
