Chapter 250 250 - System
"Why is it that you can only use Assassin-Related Skills?" Melinda asked, right away.
She wanted to learn more about the fact that he was classless since that was the first time that she had heard of such a thing happening.
In fact, just thinking about it a little bit more, she realized that this young man who was in front of her right now was basically limitless if he was able to learn any sort of skills.
He would be a jack of all trades, capable of doing everything alone, not needing the help of anyone.
He would be able to be a tank, an assassin, an enchanter, and much more.
'This is crazy, just where did this boy come from? Just what sort of monster did you let go of, Sylas,' Melinda thought, still not understanding why Sylas someone who valued strength above all else would have let go of such a talent.
Sure, in his past, he might have been talentless, but what had happened for such a thing to happen right now?
Thinking about his potential, Melinda had no choice but to look at him up and down, analyzing every single part of his body, not missing a single spot.
"Why...? Well, it wasn't my choice per se, let's just say that the system chose for me," Aiden responded, still trying his best to keep as many things as possible hidden.
If he could, he would rather not reveal anything as it would simply be much better that way since Melinda would have a lot fewer questions for Aiden.
The only thing that it would do is that Melinda would be less informed about the connection between Aiden and the system and thinking about it was a good thing that she knew as little as possible about it.
However, even if Aiden prayed not to get asked another question, it seemed that it was inevitable because Melinda didn't seem in the mood to stop questioning him about it.
It seemed that what he had just said had sparked an intense interest in her.
"How did the system choose? How did such a thing even happen?" Melinda asked.
Aiden knew that he couldn't refuse to answer, so he simply complied and decided that he would be telling her everything regarding that subject, however, he wouldn't reveal anything else even if there were to be consequences.
Also, the reason as to why he accepted telling her was simple, he didn't think that it would result in something negative for him.
"It simply contacted me," Aiden said, waiting to see Melinda's reaction before continuing.
He wanted to see if it was a big deal or not and looking at Melinda's initial it seemed to be a really big deal as her eyes were wide open looking at Aiden.
"I-it contacted you? Are you sure?" She asked, wondering if Aiden wasn't lying.
Because she knew what that meant.
The fact that the system had contacted him this early could mean a lot of things, however, considering his endless talent only a single thought appeared in her mind.
'They want to recruit him, they want to make him evolve,' she thought, knowing that she was right.
Sometimes the system could contact people, well the Lumithars who are behind it, however, it had never happened before that they had contacted someone who awakened only a couple of months ago.
Just thinking about Melinda had a lot of difficulty knowing whether or not it was even possible.
She knew that the Lumithars would sometimes look into this world and liked to see how the system was operating, however, the only people that they had ever contacted were people like Melinda, those who had reached the apex of this world.
Those who could potentially evolve and leave this world to join another one.
However, for most of those people, there was always a problem regarding that and that was the hidden body potential which is extremely rare.
Only those who possess one can reach such heights, so... in a sense Aiden was extremely lucky since it meant that he would be able to reach a completely new world once he became strong enough.
Maybe that was why the system had made that deal with him, making Aiden unable to harm the system or rather unable to harm the Luminathors.
"I'm sure, they really did contact me," Aiden repeated.
'Well, they contacted me more than once, but you don't need to know that,' he thought with a subtle smile appearing on his face.
Then, as Melinda was about to continue asking questions it seemed that her attention was suddenly toward something else as she looked in front of her, as if reading something out of thin air.
'What's happening to her? Why is she looking so focused?' thought Aiden, unsure what Melinda was looking at.
Because of that intense focus, Aiden thought that something was happening behind him which is why he turned around wondering what was happening.
However, as he did so, he wasn't able to spot anything, it really was air behind him.
Then, he thought a little and realized what she was looking at. It was extremely obvious, after all.
She was looking at her system messages, and it was obvious, the system was currently contacting her which explained extremely well what was happening with her face.
That focus, the change in her attention, everything was now extremely obvious.
"Melinda, what's happening?" asked Aiden, noticing that she was only moving her eyes, reading.
She wasn't smiling or anything like that, in fact, there was not even the faintest emotion on her face. It seemed that this message was an extremely important one.
"Um, Aiden..." she said, locking eyes with him once again.
Aiden hated when she did that as he could feel that she wasn't really excited, in fact, it was the complete opposite, she seemed extremely worried.
Aiden didn't know what she wanted to say, but it certainly didn't look all that fun.
"The system asked me to tell you something actually, it wants..."
