The wind stilled.
In a shimmer of radiant light and a pulse of soft Origin Energy, the summoned figure materialized. She was beautiful—no, divine. Silver-blue hair flowed like data streams, eyes glowing with gentle starfire, and her form wrapped in elegant yet revealing robes coded from light.

She stepped forward, voice melodic and clear."You summoned me, Creator. I am Seris—your Sprite, your system, your bond."
Aethen chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "Even your entrance is dramatic now."
She gave a knowing smile. "You coded me that way."
[SYSTEM INTERFACE ACCESS GRANTED – ADMIN MODE ACTIVE]
Two distinct windows unfolded in front of him, their structure clean and familiar—just as he'd always imagined.

Aethen's gaze moved to the second interface as it initialized next to it.

Aethen nodded. "Clear split. System for universal control… Player for in-world activity."
Seris beamed. "You designed it well."
He scrolled through the entries, pausing at one.
[???] – Status: Sealed / LockedEncrypted Protocol – Linked to Pre-Origin Quantum OS
"Seris," he asked, tapping it. "This isn't some corruption, is it?"
She shook her head, serious now. "No. That entry was uploaded manually—by you. Before transmigration."
Aethen's eyes widened. "Then it's from the computer. The one I had back on Earth."
"Yes," Seris confirmed. "That machine used a secondary ability user's tech—someone with the power to merge thought with code. You integrated it into your system. This [???] skill is a remnant of that framework. A sealed kernel. And potentially… dangerous."
Aethen smirked. "Only if you don't have my origin signature."
[ORIGIN SIGNATURE – VERIFIED]Skill remains locked until further synchronization with Genesis Engine.
"Of course," Aethen muttered. "I knew I wouldn't let anyone else access it…"
He stared up at the sky.
"So this is World #07. Just one of many in this Sector…"
"Yes," Seris replied, following his gaze. "Each world is a self-contained construct. You're in Genesis Sector-01—an isolated realm shaped by the Genesis Engine, your system. There are countless node-worlds here, waiting to be discovered… or rewritten."
A soft chime pulsed in the air.

[Would you like to begin Tutorial? Yes / No][Would you like to enable Combat Overlay? Yes / No]
Aethen grinned.
"Heh… even the prompts made it across."
He tapped [Yes] on both.
The world around him pulsed, gridlines forming briefly over the terrain. His senses sharpened as Combat Overlay activated—readouts, terrain markers, and enemy signatures blinking into view.
Seris stepped beside him, glowing faintly.
"Welcome to your world, Aethen. Let's begin."
