Zion interrupted when he thought about how the system was gone. "You weren't even here. How can my progress be recorded?"

"Just the same way as I had recorded how you spent a month here!"

Zion's eyes narrowed. "And how the heck did you record this?"

"Well…." 007 coughed and averted his eyes. "My hardware is already inside your mind, and cannot be removed until we finish the mission, but I'm a software, and I didn't really leave physically. I went into hibernation as my boss hacked into my system. Then he upgraded me from top to bottom, and created new features! Don't worry, host. Many things were on autopilot in the background, so even your progress was recorded."

Zion nodded in understanding and gestured to the system to continue.

"So currently, your mission progress is 75%. That's right! Even without my help, you managed to achieve such a great feat! Just a slight setback was your death, but I managed to save you on time." The system waved his hand as if he were proud of what he just said. "No need to thank me for that. Oh right, that reminds me, I forgot to tell you another thing. You can also see the mission details in the menu tab, and there's the option for shopping and rewards…." The system paused and frowned as if wondering how to explain this thing and coughed before he spoke. "I'll explain about the rewards after solving this case. For now, we will just handle the current case and make sure to pass!"

"What about points and punishment if I failed a mission?"

007 directly ignored the punishment thing and said, "You can view the points at the top left of your screen!"

Zion's eyes glanced in that direction and was pleased to see 100 points saved there already, but he was still curious about why he got so many points. "Why 100?"

"That's compensation from the boss for the blunder that was caused in the first case." The system averted his eyes and refused to meet the man's eyes. "He hopes that the new update can help you achieve great heights."

"What if I want to go back to my world? And you still haven't explained to me about the milestones."

007 coughed awkwardly again and said while scratching the back of his neck, "It's not good for you to eat so many dishes all at once. Just wait until you can digest the information I gave you until now and solve the case. I'll definitely tell you everything after you solve this case."

"No thanks." Although Zion's face and entire body were covered with blood, his body had become healthy. He sat and crossed his arms across his chest. "My digestion system is better than you can imagine. I can digest any amount of information."

"Still. I don't want you to blame us for giving you psychological pressure. Boss specifically told me to take it easy on you!"

Zion said nothing after that and closed the topic. He knew it would be useless no matter how many times he would urge the system to speak out everything about milestones and his punishment. He also wanted to know whether he could still go back to his world after solving cases or not. Even though he wasn't attached to his world, he was still a modern man who was fond of modern technology.

He couldn't help but miss the time he would scroll his social media accounts and respond to the criticism with his side accounts. That was one of the ways he would pass his time whenever he was free.

But the fact that the Methu man refused to utter a single word without finishing up the first case after the upgrade. He feared that there must be something he was hiding. Perhaps he had made another silly error before accidentally sending the system off to his mission? If that were the case, then Methu man seemed to have been afraid of receiving another set of threatening messages being broadcasted throughout the heavens.

Zion sneered when he thought of this and got up from the ground. Everything else was still a mess, and dead bodies were scattered across the floor. The children were missing from the bedroom which meant that the masked man was successful in kidnapping them.

The first thought that he had was to escape from this place before anyone could come here and see him standing here without any injuries. If others were to appear at this place, they would instantly think that he was the one who had sided with the silver masked man to kill these elves. They wouldn't even listen to a word he would say either, thinking humans were always 'vile' and 'trash' in the eyes of others.

After thinking of this, Zion sneered and walked out from the backdoor. Thankfully, it was still dark with traces of brightness on the horizon.

The situation of humans was another reason why he didn't like it here in this world. Why would anyone think of an entire race like that? It almost seemed to him as if humans were a group of innocent people who were being flamed on social media, and all the naive citizens believed it word to word.

There must be someone fanning these rumors and making sure that the status of humans continued to remain low, and for some reason, Zion felt like this surely had something to do with the fact that this current world was going to be destroyed. His eyes narrowed at that.

But since he didn't know a single thing about it, he couldn't come to any conclusions. He pursed his lips and thought of his current case. What should he do to find evidence against the silver masked man and prove that he was that gentle-looking husband he met in the palace? His lips pressed in a thin line, and he glanced at the chibi avatar on the screen who was already dozing off.

Now that the system was back, he knew what he should do at present: shopping for an identity.

He knew for sure that he couldn't use previous identities that he had once purchased since this was the elf kingdom, so he would have to buy an elf identity who didn't know how to use power. Then, what else would be better than to choose an ordinary elf who had just entered the palace to apply for the post of lowest grade servant?
