Chapter 47
[Now that's the problem, how do I put this... You are what I'll call... Unique]
Alex frowned slightly and shifted his position on the bed as his brows drew closer in confusion.
"And how exactly am I unique?"
There was a brief pause, as if the system was choosing its words carefully for once, which in itself already felt super suspicious.
[You're not an awakened in the traditional sense. You don't have a core like they do, and you don't absorb primordial essence the way they do either. Your power system is... Different. Think of it as something that exists outside the normal conventional rules of this world]
Alex stared at the ceiling, letting the words sink in.
"So you're saying I'm not one of them... But I can still fight them?"
The chibi instantly nodded her tiny head in agreement.
[Exactly. Your strength doesn't come from any dumb core. It comes from me, your reliable and dependable system with unimaginable cheats]
"Yeah, lucky me," Alex muttered dryly.
