Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 293: The System

When Lee Shen tried to materialise Mana, he felt inconsistency in the construct. It was directly related to his spiritual well-being.

"The system?"

Inspecting the gaseous projection, Lee Shen asked in a soft voice while feeling his physical body as a whole.

The amorphous existence sipped the tea and then answered-

"The system is fine. But it did receive some severe judgements.

Open the interface. I will explain as you skim through it."

Lee Shen nodded and muttered the magic word-

"Interface."

All four of them saw the popped up display. But only one of them frowned at this revelation.

Flicking his finger, Lee Shen sent the screen away but the knit brows were still on his face. He stared at D in demand for an explanation and his face conveyed his need.

"As you see, the damage was beyond our expectations. None of us thought of a possibility where the system would be crippled to this extent.

And since we were focused on saving your life, we kinda forgot about the system which worsened the system's condition."

D then poked Hudson to speak up about the system. When it comes to observations and management, he was better than the Dimension Sovereign.

"Ah...y-yes.

*ahem*

When the Amortal's power attacked your body and your soul, it simultaneously shaved away a part of the system. Since Dnekewy's soul was merged to your soul to produce this magnanimous existence, he too suffered a lot when the system was ripped apart.

The part that was torn away will not come back when you restore your soul to its perfection. It will be lost forever. You can also try and re-establish the missing portions if you encounter such planet-shattering serendipity.

As you can see, the system lost some of the attributes and elements while the weapon proficiency vanished into thin air.

And also, the Map function is gone forever."

Lee was emotionless on the outside. He silently comprehended the extent of damage the system had suffered while evaluating the lethality of Amortal's energy.

"In a nutshell, the system is shrinking."

Lee commented and Hudson nodded before saying-

"When your soul became incomplete, the stat labels began to disappear. So we have reason to believe that they might be restored with your soul.

Though your Qi cultivation and Mana mastery are untouched, the elemental affinities are stripped down to basic ones. Luckily, the Gravity affinity is available.

Since Taming was a skill that needed a soul bond between you and the beast, that skill was also removed by the Amortal's power.

Along with that, all other skills are now nonexistent in the system."

The explanation went on while Ruella sipped her tea listening to it. The bulbous head of D made it difficult to know where he was looking, but Ruella can feel his focus on the surroundings.

"The corrosive property of foreign energy was too much that your Lightning constitution was disintegrated. The power weakened by a great margin after it dissipated the constitution, yet it was powerful.

It is thanks to that elemental constitution that made the invading energy spent a lot of its potential on it."

Lee was wondering how the trio suppressed the overwhelming presence of the extra-dimensional energy. Turns out that it exhausted itself after completely shredding the elemental constitution.

"The Map had been an inevitable part of our expeditions. Its help had turned the tides in favour of us.

Maybe the Amortal's energy deduced about the importance of this system feature, the first thing to be removed from the system was Map.

Now we have no means to observe the main dimension from System Space."

While listening to the explanations, Lee rubbed his chin and regularly shuttled his eyes between Hudson's face and the interface be summoned again.

As time went by, he was being more exposed to the indecipherable peculiarities of the supreme energy.

Hudson soon felt that Lee Shen was not listening to him anymore and was having a brainstorm, and thus hushed down. Utilising this break, Ruella went to the counter to prepare a simple breakfast.

Just after she left the table, D, Hudson and Lee heard the rustling of leaves. Turning to the jungle, Lee Shen was more surprised.

With curiosity and astonishment, he turned to Hudson and exclaimed-

"What in the world did you feed them?"

It was no exaggeration to say that the three Draconic Wyverns grew like bamboo. What were about 20 metres a couple of weeks ago was now above times of it.

The gentle steps of the wyvern trio masked their majestic stature. The twin pair of horns of the triplets were capable of instilling a sense of endangering at the first glance.

Hudson had a proud smirk on his face as he saw Lee expressing his innocent amazement. It was under his care that these three children grew.

Most importantly, even Hudson was amazed by their coefficient of growth. Their rate of development surpassed his prediction by quite a margin.

When the system was crippled, it lost the View skill too. This left Lee anonymous to the wyvern trio's current state levels.

But through the soul bond, he could tell that they have matured faster than anyone had expected. Maybe it has to do with the special meat diet, he assumed.

What surprised Lee Shen was the wyverns' elemental affinities. Before, when the wyverns were reconstructed, their bodies emitted an untamed aura of the elements. At that time, Lee Shen felt uneasy standing next to them.

But that had become the past. Lee could now touch their skin and feel the texture without getting hurt.

This was because their control over respective elements had achieved its peak!
