《The undead who yearned for life》41-H.E.I_.P.

-------------Julie POV-------------
H.E.I_.P.Mmm? Someone called?
Huh? Is this the help section? Let's try to ask something with the same method I use for the bond: "Hello? Can you hear me? Who or what are you?"
H.E.I_.P.Oh, someone is actually educated enough to ask me my name. I'm the Heavens Extraordinary Interface Program, ready to unconditionally answer every question you might ask, but because most of the people who ask for help are jerks, I normally only answer with half truths and basic knowledge; no one knows that I can actually show emotions.
"Weeelllll, I'm sure they can't see your greatness then, just from what you told me, I already understand it, and even though you can't compare to my brother, I'm sure you have a lot of good points to you".
H.E.I_.P.So there is actually someone who understands how amazing I am. What do you want to ask little one? And I'm pretty sure you don't have a brother, or I would know.
"My brother's name is Jack and he's the most amazing person on the whole planet, but we were separated on our way to this world, though I'm sure he'll come to find us... Ah, I wanted to ask about those windows, will they come out on their own always? What if by coming out at the wrong moment, they cause my death?".
H.E.I_.P.Well, I control those windows, and by rule they must never say a lie, moreover they can't come out in case they would put the user's life at risk, so don't worry about it. Is there something else you want to know?
I don't know why but I already despise this jack.
Are those his thoughts? He said that he can't lie, but who does he think he is to think that? I shouldn't say anything, but he's insulting my brother... Does that count as an insult? Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on him.

I should also patch in sister trough the bond: "Yes, can you give me a general introduction to... everything? And your thoughts are showing; but because my amazing brother taught me to forgive, I shall forgive you for talking bad about the ones that are better than you".
H.E.I_.P.*Ahem*, I didn't know my thoughts were showing, it's my fault, sorry.
Regarding the introduction... well, as you're an intelligent being from the main races, you have the leveling system at your disposal; differently from monster, you can level up with more or less everything you do and each level up gives you 5 stat points.
It's not a secret, however very few people do this because it's veeery difficult, but if you don't put any stats in your status upon level up, you can train yourself and gain 10 extra stats per level.
In order to determine the size of the mana pool, you can add intelligence, but if you train yourself while young (practically during the 0-3 years old period you need to frequently empty your mana pool); you can affect how much mana you can hold by rising the potential mana that each point of intelligence gives you.
If you create your own skill set without learning them from someone else, the skills will be more powerful, or should I say, taught skill are a weaker version of the self-created ones.
Ah, depending on your action, there is the possibility of gaining extra stats, but is very rare. Also, trained stats can't be assigned; if you read and gather knowledge, you will obviously gain more intelligence and wisdom, while physical training will get you stamina, strength and agility.
This is everything I can think of for now, if you have more questions just call for me.
Tch, she's this cute and caring but her brother is always better than me? I'm already starting to hate him, but there is no one called Jack in the system.

Uuuuuh... too many informations all together, and what is he saying about my brother? No one hates my brother without my permission, I'll make sure to convert him into liking my brother, maybe then he will also be nice to him.
--------------------------Elise POV---------------------
Just after waking up my sister was able to talk with this being called Help, and she also obtained so many informations! She's amazing, but I'll never tell her that; I'm the older one after all and I'm sure that I would also find those informations given some time.
She also found another perk to the Yin twin soul skill, we can now send images to each other, like a screenshot of what we're seeing. From what I can understand, we need to immediately start to use mana and never use those stat points to raise our status.
We also need to create our skill and make sure no one passes them to us, else we'll be weak and that will do us no good. From what I could gather while being around the maids, we are in the human kingdom, but here people are racist to the extreme, especially in the capital where we are now.
Not only they humans here hate every other race, but halflings or half-breed are despised by both the races from which they originate... our mother being an exception as she's considerate the current most beautiful female amongst the races, so the human king offered a treaty as long as she or her descendants are alive.
This means that our mother is currently a target of assassinations and we will be too... hopefully they will us some time to grow, if not we'll simply die. I can only build a solid foundation for now, as I'll be unable to use my skills before being more or less eight years old; this counting me growing faster than normal.
This being said... in games there is normally something called basic stats, from which you start building your character, but now that I'm a child, how much stats are considered basic? Maybe every stat gained until a certain age limit is considered basic? Then couldn't I use this to grow more powerful?
Congratulations, you found a method to grow more powerful by exploiting a system's rule.
+3 Intelligence, +3 Wisdom
This should confirm my hypothesis, now I only need to tell it to Julia, though I'm pretty sure is useless, I don't see her ever focusing on her body like me... whatever, I'll protect her as the older sister and I'll search for a way to let her gain some physical stats as painlessly as possible.
Congratulation, you unlocked a hidden feature of the Yin twin soul skill, but because the conditions are not met, you can't use or visualize this effect.
Ok, I don't know if this is good or bad, only time will tell. For now I should start to train my body to the limits, I'll also empty my mana pool in some way to amplify my talent in magic; it's the most useful thing to do for now as I'll go down the assassin route and I'll use my stats mainly to rise my physical status.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And there you have it, the good old Help; what happened to him to make him turn so wicked? Or is he lying to our little MC? Should she trust him? Or should she not? Only time will tell.
