I was peacefully lazing away under a tree while watching how the attitude of Fay\'s mother changed under the influence of the tasty treats. Soon, her elegance gave way to curiosity as she started to sink into the pleasure of eating good food and adoring nice clothes that Fay had just now started to pull out. \'I guess I will let them have their fun. And in the meantime…\' This time, my attention fully moved over to my system. The fact that I didn\'t really have the moment to see the changes to my system through was one of the main reasons why I haven\'t made any moves or decisions yet. After all, what was the point of doing so if the changes to the system could easily upset the situation I was in?

Just reading through all the changes was enough to make my head spin. What was the system that calculated the growth of my level? That, I could pretty much guess. And after fiddling with the numbers, the math turned out to be pretty simple. The participation, whatever it was, indicated the percentage of the average attribute points of the killed enemy that would be taken into account. Judging from how the participation level didn\'t go above point seven, there was something siphoning off a part of my growth. Yet, after the initial annoyance that this realization brought, I focused on the next part of my battle log. \'This has to be the bonus I got from the Fay\'s and her mom\'s kills,\' I soon realized before figuring out the simple math behind the growth. After adding up all the values of the average attribute points of the enemies we killed and having them match the participation value, they would all be added up. A tenth of the final sum would be the final result of my level of growth. Simple math… but one that brought forth a certain issue. Because from the looks of things wasn\'t genocide the easiest way for one to grow in this world?

As worrying of a thought as it was, I quickly moved on to the further mysteries hidden in the pop-up messages that covered my entire field of view when I focused on my system. What were affinities? How could I check them? Was there any other way to gain skills? And just how in all hell did I gain the ability to control time? What\'s more, was the pain in the eyes an after-effect of using my newly obtained "eye of time" skill? And if so… then just how did it work, to begin with?

I shook my head, overwhelmed by how my wish to get some answers resulted in even more questions. But there was also one, vile regret left in me. \'Usually, milestone levels bring bonus rewards, don\'t they?\' I thought to myself, squinting my eyes as I weighed the options I had now. \'I wonder what will happen once I reach the fifth level?\'
