My Idle System

Christian, having thought things through and made his decision, finally willed his Idle System to absorb all the idle accumulated progress while also replacing the fourth Idle subject.

After digesting the change from the Idle accumulation, Christian glanced at the notification that appeared casually, then turned his attention to the program hacking.

[You have received 565 Experience]

[You have received 1250 Experience]

[You have received 685 Experience]

[You have received 505 Experience]

[The skill Intermediate AI Creation has become Lv.8 (1%)]

[The skill Advanced Program Hacking has become Lv.4 (90%)]

[The skill Intermediate Hand-to-Hand Combat has become Lv.2 (90%)]

[The skill Intermediate Human Biology has become Lv.7 (90%)]

[The Idle Practice in the fourth slot, Breath of the Shadow Blade, has started.]

[The skill Breath of the Shadow Blade has been created.]

[Currently, the skill Breath of the Shadow Blade is Lv.0 (0%)]

After digesting the changes from the Idle accumulation, Christian glanced casually at the notifications, confirming that the essence technique's name remained unchanged without any prefix being added, just as he had thought. Then, he finally shifted his attention to the Program Hacking skill.

He felt that its level had improved quite a bit, after all, and he hadn't faced any issues with any of the hacking he had done today, as everything had gone smoothly and felt surprisingly easy.

Still, he didn't assign Breath of the Shadow Blade to the second slot because he had other plans in mind.

Christian wanted to create some security programs and many things more, especially monitoring programs and similar tools.

He felt like he couldn't wait any longer for Iris's growth, and as she was now, she was far from enough.

So, after taking a moment to think things through once again, he reaffirmed his decision and finally assigned General Programming to the second slot.

[The Idle Practice at the second slot, General Programming has started]

[The skill Intermediate Programming has been created.]

[Currently, the skill Intermediate Programming is Lv.3(10%)]

Seeing that the skill started at the intermediate level this time, Christian felt a wave of satisfaction. At least, he wouldn't lose too much experience compared to when a skill started at the basic level, after all. Still, he couldn't help but hope that it wouldn't take too long for the skill to become Advanced. After all, he wanted his level progress to accelerate, not stagnate.

Then, having finished everything, he finally opened his status window, wanting to take a look after all these changes.

Christian looked at the screen in front of him, now much more filled than before, and felt a sense of pride in his achievements. Even if he was just reaping the benefits of the Idle System, the progress was unmistakably his.

But then his gaze suddenly landed on the Danger Awareness skill, and he finally remembered that some kind of notification had appeared at the corner of his eyes previously when the assassin came.

He was curious, as skills like Passion Reader, which seemed to be created by the system under specific conditions, were difficult to come by, and this one was only the second to appear after all this time.

Christian was particularly intrigued by the name, which piqued his interest more than anything else, and he hoped that what he suspected it could be was, in fact, correct.

So, he finally concentrated on the name of the skill.

[Danger Awareness (Passive/Active) Lv.-]

[Passive: Sense any kind of threat that could pose danger to you.]

[Active: In moments of extreme danger, you will enter a special state, and be able to unleash power far beyond your normal limits.]

"Wow."

Christian stared at the description of the skill with wide eyes and couldn't help but exclaim upon reading it, as his expectations were far exceeded, and he received more than he had ever asked for.

Even though the skill he received was only overpowered and useful in dangerous situations, while being useless at other times, Christian still didn't mind. Actually, for him, these situations were the most concerning, and he felt like this skill had come at just the right time. With it, he would be much safer after all.

Until now, even after reminding Iris to monitor the surroundings and stay alert, Christian still couldn't shake the feeling that he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly anymore. The fear of a surprise attack lingered in his mind, and he felt that the simple act of closing his eyes would become difficult. What had happened left him with a deep, lingering sense of fear, a nagging anxiety that he couldn't easily push aside.

Though he hadn't been reminded of it much due to his busy time since the surprise attack, with all the happenings and the sleepless night, but, now the moment he saw the description of this new skill, he felt something changed.

It was as if the weight of his worry, concern, anxiety, and fear had finally been acknowledged, and more importantly, could now actually be alleviated. With the Danger Awareness skill, he felt a wave of reassurance wash over him. He realized that, with it, he could rest more easy.

Christian felt a surge of excitement, realizing that the Idle System had really solved part of his problem, even if it wouldn't completely change a desperate situation into a favorable one, and it was more than enough for him, as he have also other skills.

Still, as his excitement subsided, he remembered that his sister was still waiting for him. So, taking a moment to calm himself, he double-checked that he hadn't forgotten anything important, then stood up, intending to finally have that honest talk with her.

It was finally time.

But, with everything he had obtained now, Christian felt more confident than ever. His unease for having this conversation with his sister, had lessened considerably, and the constant weight of worry that had lingered in the back of his mind was finally starting to fade.

But with everything he had obtained now, Christian felt more confident than ever. His unease about having this conversation with his sister had also lessened considerably, and the constant weight of worry that had lingered in the back of his mind was finally starting to fade.

With the essence technique, the Danger Awareness skill, his other skills, and Iris, Christian truly felt that things were about to change. Even the invisible enemy was now under his constant monitoring, after all.

So, when he stood up and suddenly yawned, it didn't surprise him. He simply thought that perhaps, now that he had realized the changes, all the tension had melted away. It's just that with his body relaxed, a wave of drowsiness and exhaustion washed over him.

Still, knowing he couldn't let his sister wait too long, he stretched, glanced at the time, and, confirming that only a few hours had passed with what he had done, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he finally made his way toward her room.

Of course, Christian felt that even if he were much later, she would have waited anyway, especially after everything that had happened, maybe even coming to remind him. But there was no need to test her patience.

So, now standing in front of the door, Christian finally started knocking, and almost instantly, his sister, who seemed to have been waiting right behind it, opened the door, not even letting him finish his second knock. She then hurriedly invited him inside, leaving him to wonder if she had really been staring at the door and waiting for him.

In the end, he simply entered without voicing his thoughts, then, with his sister sitting in front of him, they found themselves just staring at each other in silence.

He was the one to break the silence this time though, going directly to the important subject, as he sensed it was also his sister's desire.

"From where should I start?"

Christian asked, though it was more to himself than to his sister, as he began gathering his thoughts. His sister also seemed to notice this, and just remained silent, leaving him to collect himself.

"I'll start by saying something about our surroundings, about the world, because many things won't make sense if I don't mention them."

In the end, he decided to explain everything in a more understandable order.

"Everything around us is not what it appears to be."
