[System Upgrade is underway; please wait plenty!]

The moment the timer dropped to zero, Ace's heart skipped a beat. The wait was finally over, and he couldn't help but feel huge relief washing over him. He had been on high alert after almost falling into a dangerous situation right after his ascension, and his feeling of powerlessness was not very good.
If anything, it only made him appreciate the system and the power he was given more, and he had never thought he would miss the system's emotionless voice so much.
Nonetheless, Ace had also started to think of ways never to let something like this happen again, which meant less reliance on the system or at least making sure his power would never vane even if something untoward happened with the system in the future. He knew it was far easier said than done, but he still had a new goal for himself.
