"Agriche Academy...? Why would they send me a letter? In this day and age..."

{Now, now, host. You can't just up and ignore the noble and vintage vibe of posted letters, can you?}

"It's just impractical."

I continued quipping with the system and stepped inside my home. A wide living room with a dining table on one end and a couch set on the other. A small TV was placed on a table in front of the couch. There was a kitchen connected to the living room and a small room a bit further from the couch set that mom had taken for herself.

A small staircase went up from the right corner of the living room leading to two more rooms. The apartment was not precisely a Duplex when it came to size, but it was certainly made like it.

Of course, we didn't really have the financial leeway to rent such a place, let alone own it. It was one of the few perks my mother received from her job. A great apartment in a, well a sort of nice neighborhood.

I went to the kitchen and took a glass from a cabinet, placing it in the small denture on the fridge as cold water came pouring down into it. I brought the glass to my lips and took in a big gulp when the system's window appeared in front of me again.

{Are you really ignoring the letter!?}

"Ahh..." I let out a satisfied 'ah' and took the glass away. "I am very tired today, you know? I'm not ready to open it yet, there's no point in raking in troubles and panicking, it'll only lead to bad decisions."

The system did not respond after that as I made my way upstairs and walked into my room. The clothes I had taken off from all those people felt foreign and itchy, so I quickly took them off and took out a change from my closet. Then, I went back downstairs and stepped into the bath.

After a ten-minute long and quiet soak in the bathtub, I stepped out and wore the black sweatpants and t-shirt I had taken for myself.

"9 PM, she should be on her way home now."

Frankly, I was a little worried about mom. Though they didn't get her, some people were targeting her. What if something happened? What if someone else was after her too? With a sigh, I tried to take my mind off of it and went to my room.

I dived onto my bed and twisted around until I found a comfortable position, snagging an extra pillow from above the bed I pulled it towards myself and snuggled into it.

{Almost forgot, Host. I can show you some of your stats now!}

"FUCKER! Remember that first next time!"

{I-I am sorry... I should just shove a shiv down my head and mess it around until I remember everything right? Ah, but I don't have a head... I am sorry for being so useless.}

I sighed at the unchanging antics and shook my head. "Alright, show me. Status."

A giant status window appeared in front of my eyes.

I was stunned by the amount of information revealed by the status. Should it be this detailed? Moreover, almost everything was still undergoing calculation, naturally so, since I could do a lot more things than the very few mentioned here. But with something like this visualizing one's growth and placing effort in the correct direction would be a piece of cake!

{Wait, wait, this doesn't make much sense!}

Another projection opened up right next to the status window as the System's words entered my eyes.

{Why are all your stats still in the human realm? The Awakener stats are also at the lowest point of awakener stats? Your overall rank is F too! How [email protected]@@!!0!R}

Light flickered from the end of the system's window! My eyes widened as I reeled back. Both the text and the status window started flickering rapidly, with multi-colored glitches appearing all over them.

"S-system? What's happening?" I asked out loud in surprise.

Suddenly, both the windows disappeared into thin air as silence filled the room.

A second passed. I nervously turned my gaze around the room, from the wall to the cabinet, then back ahead.

-TING!
