Villain of my own novel

229 228. System influence.

A few minutes earlier.

A handsome white-haired man, a gorgeous black-haired woman, and a stunning dark-brown-haired woman walked side by side, while the black-haired woman carried a bow and arrow and the dark-brown-haired woman carried a great sword, and the man was bare-handed.

"It's clear." I said.

'Of course, I only said that there is nothing up to 10 metres around us; there are still a ton more.' I added inwardly.

"You seriously won't fight?" Katline asked while facing me.

"Mhm." I nodded.

"....." Katharine simply stared at us for a brief moment before trying to sense her surroundings.

I had told them that I wouldn't be fighting and that they'd be "escorting" me out of this dungeon, safe and sound. Of course, I also added that I would help them if it seemed like they were in trouble; I didn't say it in one sentence because I wasn't really planning on helping them in any way.

And I had planned to annihilate every single wolf in this gate before I left here.

'All these beasts are from 'there.'' I muttered in my mind.

DING

[System influence increased by 20.]

Current System influence on 'Earth' is: 102.]

['Player' system initializing....]

['Player Shop' function initializing.....]

[Connection of the transcended beings establishing....]

[The user "unknown" has been granted a level boost because of the extra "2" point increase in the system's influence..]

[System initialized!]

[Congratulations, my lovely daughter!] I spoke to Eunomia telepathically. The connection between us was formed in an instant, even though I didn't have any mana anymore. It was because I recently "understood" that even without mana, I could use mana because of the order authority.

Not having mana didn't have any actual impact on me because of the order authority; it basically made it so that I could use mana even if I didn't have any. Of course, in this case, my concentration on the system and Eunomia should be stronger, while Eunomia's willingness to accept the telepathic link would also play a vital role.

But the powers I have now are exactly three, which are my authorities and "karma." The name of the 3-meter-long line I obtained from THAT white space where my mana was depleted. It was because, in order to use "karma," I was seemingly supposed to have absolutely no mana.

'Maybe that weapon is dumb. How hasn't it already realised that I am using mana?' I wondered inwardly. It was very strange that I "knew" everything about this karma, but I ignored it because of all of the strangest f**king things that happen in my day-to-day life. And while I was busy cursing my goddamn life...

[Thank you papa.] Eunomia's reply came almost instantly and snapped me out of my trance, then I remembered the system notification just now.

[But why did I get rewarded?] I asked, puzzled.

[An intruder from another world has appeared out of nowhere, for the unforeseen danger, you have to get stronger and that intruder is...what should I say, kind of strange (?)] Eunomia said in a serious yet puzzled voice.

[An intruder?] I asked curiously.

[Hmm...not exactly an intruder, more like an outsider, but her memories are....] Eunomia was saying something, but she abruptly paused.

[Are?] I asked and slightly furrowed my brows.

[... You should look at it yourself, you have THAT now anyway, it should be quite simple for you.] Eunomia said.

'How did she know?' I wondered inwardly, but ignored it because she supposed to be omniscient, so it wasn't that strange for her to know.

[Alright.] I replied and as I was about to terminate the link.....

[It really was you!!] Eunomia's loud excited childish voice sounded.

[You rascal. I can't believe you! I thought you would know about it because you are omniscient. Oh my god, I can't believe my own kid outsmarted me.] I said in grumbling tone and cut off the telepathic link.

DING

[It is not like that!! T-T] Eunomia sent a message through the system.

[I know, I think I found this outsider you just spoke of, I'll contact you later.] I reconnected the telepathic link, informed her the reason and ended the telepathic link again because my facial expressions change from time to time if I am speaking with Eunomia.

[Ok.] Eunomia sent a message through the system again.

[I'm adding in the new updates.] And after another message, she stopped.

[[Traits] are now turned into [Skills], which are easily accessible. [Skills] are added with three new functions: [Passive Skills], [Active Skills], and [Cool Down].]

[Alert: Based on the selected race, user's mentality will be altered accordingly.] [User can choose to remain human.]

[Alert: Stats are increased according to the selected race. If the user has chosen to remain human, the stats will remain the same.]

[Alert: User will undergo a body modified according to the selected race.]

[Alert: The race selected will be halved. (Ex: selected race Elf = current race Half-Elf.)]

'Well, for me, the answer is pretty obvious.' I muttered in my mind and clicked the one on the glitched system window.

WHOOOSH

"...." I simply stood still as my ears grew longer and slightly smaller than those of the elf, and as my eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and even my skin hurt, but since this much was bearable, I didn't even groan.

DING

[???'s mentality is being imprinted in the user's mind.]

PANG

A strange pang appeared in my mind which soon subsided.

SWISH

"...."

'Was that it?' I thought because my mentality got slightly more twisted than before and now I got some new impulses, those that makes you want to kill somebody.

'So there isn't anything new? But I do feel like I have all the other races' traits.' I had senses of an elf, a dwarf, a vampire's blood thirst, and even the new beast-man's dense muscles and skin.

"Stats." I called out aloud.

(AN: I'll be showing Eshwar's entire status)
