'Wait… the system speaks now, or what?'
Kiernan frowned and looked around the room.
It was empty, as even Fen was nowhere to be found, but he didn't find it strange, as he always explored through the house early in the morning.
His father and Julian still didn't know about the existence of Fen. Not that he wasn't trusting them, but the fewer people knowing about his existence, the better.
"Hello, system?"
[…Hello]
'Holy shit…'
Kiernan looked in front of him where the message popped out.
The system wasn't talking. It was communicating through chat-like messages, but it still greatly surprised him.
'I can finally ask questions that had been haunting me for a while!'
Kiernan rubbed his chin in a thoughtful manner, thought about the first question he should ask, and after he was confident, he nodded and said.
"Why are you, the system, so hell-bent on limiting what I can do?"
He asked out of curiosity.
[…I can't answer that]
"Why?"
[…Ask something else]
