The Over-Break System

“Keep in mind that every event in the Competition is televised, which means many eyes will be watching you. Be careful, follow the rules, and don’t reveal too much.” Standing up and pulling his Cane out of his inventory, Norik walked down the stairway and stood in front of Cynrik, Brance, and Selene, seemingly examining them from head to toe with faintly glowing amber eyes.

“One last thing before I send you on your way, CynBrat, you and Brance will trigger your next Turning Point quest upon completing your Tier-3 Evolution, so be prepared ahead of time.”

“WHAT, MOTHER FU…” Before Cynrik could finish his cursing, Norik tapped his Cane on the ground and teleported them back to the Academy, more precisely to the Boys Dorm, causing the Throne room to fall silent.

—

“CKER! Damn it, that bastard, how dare he casually drop that shit on us before teleportation. FUCK!”

BANG

Ignoring the wave of nausea and taking his anger out on one of the coffee tables by kicking it into the air and delivering a perfectly timed side kick into the piece of furniture, smashing it against the wall on the far side of the room, Cynrik cursed loudly.

“HEY! URP, I LIKED THAT TABLE. Darling, don’t break the furniture; it’s expensive.” Covering her mouth and fighting back the urge to puke, Selene gave Cynrik a death glare, making him flinch before clicking his tongue and looking away.

“I paid for it; if I wanna break it, I will.”

“Not the point, don’t forget it was ME who picked it out.” Putting her hands on her hips and shaking her head, Selene was beside herself with how to deal with her boyfriend’s sudden outburst of anger.

“How the hell do you guys find the time to argue while I’m over here about to hurl?” Brance complained while doubling over and holding his stomach.

“You get used to it, don’t forget that every time I use [Shadow Leap], my stomach bottoms out; I guess I just built up a tolerance for it by now.” Chewing his bottom lip, Cynrik made a quick judgment call and switched to the mind link.

[[But that isn’t important, we will both be facing turning point quests after reaching Tier-3, and the way Norik worded it, it will happen after we finish the Tribulation quest and complete our Evo.]] Crossing his arms, Cynrik began to pace the room as he spoke.

[[What’s more, Norik fed us some valuable data, with a minimum of nine Divinity Fragments implanted into our souls, we will be facing Turning Point quests until we reach Tier-9. There’s also the issue with those so-called blessings.]]

[[Uh, Darling, I know you always have a reason for your actions, but why did you switch to using the mind link?]] Tilting her head in confusion as she moved to clean up the broken pieces of the table on the far side of the room, Selene asked.

[[Odin and Yahweh can’t spy on our conversation here. Oh, I guess I never explained that whole thing to you. So basically, there are only two ways to hide information from Deity Tier beings, one being the mind link and Two being in our SOC.]] Waving his hand dismissively, Cynrik continued explaining.

[[Norik ported us to a sealed space to talk; that is enough reason for me to continue being overly cautious. Although I have no idea what the Strife Contract details as rules, it is a safe bet to make that by divulging certain things to us, he may have broken a couple of rules, so it is better to be safe and keep what we know hidden.]]

[[Hence, I always refer to what we are as LCs and the event as the Strife of the LS; well, that and there is like some weird special effect shit like earthquakes and stuff that happen when I say the words aloud.]] Shrugging his shoulders, Cynrik steered the conversation back on course.

[[With at least nine Divinity Fragments, I have seven Turning Points left, and Brance, you still have Eight. As for blessings, we can count our [Language Proficiency] as one; Brance, your mind link, and double XP buff are two, and I believe our Light and Dark Affinities also count as one. Then there’s my Mindscape and our Bloodlines, putting the tally at four of eight blessings for me and five for you.]]

Stopping in his tracks and drumming the fingers of his left hand on his right elbow, Cynrik squinted his eyes in thought.

[[However, we don’t have a proper criterion for classifying what can be considered a blessing. It could technically be anything.]]

[[What do you mean?]] Walking over to help Selene clean up Cynrik’s mess, Brance humored his brother by asking the obvious question he was fishing for.

[[Well, think of it this way, what if the blessings aren’t necessarily something Odin and Yahweh physically gave us? For example, what if the two put certain events in motion leading us to obtain better traits, like setting up the pairing of Mom and Dad so that we would have access to our Ocular skills? What if they planted the subconscious thought that I needed to check a particular store to buy a specific item that would help at the time? There are too many different potential options, and since that bastard Norik kicked us out before I could ask, I am left with yet again too many unanswered questions.]]

[[And you say that I am the one with abundant conspiracy theories?]] Brance quipped and rolled his eyes.

[[Fuck off, there is a clear difference between the Locke Ness Monster being real and literal GODS treating everything like chess pieces. Who’s to say that my theory isn’t correct? You know damn well I don’t believe in coincidences, and looking back, there is an AWFUL lot of them; looking back at meeting Old Man Saylin as I did in itself could be considered potential proof of my theory.]]

[[What are the odds that I just so happen to choose the right store, selling the exact things I was looking for at that time? Sure, I used Weeb and light novel logic at the time, but Saylin not only had the weapons we needed, he also had our cultivation skills. In addition, the guy is the head of the Board of Academies, a Political faction Consul, and last but not least, he saved our asses from Lithlen.]]

[[Wait, are you talking about Saylin Garn… THE SAYLIN GARN?]] Suddenly realizing the identity of the person Cynrik was talking about, Selene nearly had a panic attack.

[[Hm? Yeah, Green-haired old dude who presided over the Selections; I met him in the RWTC; he owns a run-down shack of a shop that sells a bunch of random miscellaneous shit. I was five or six years old at the time, but he hooked me up with the gear and shit I needed. Back then, I had no idea of his identity, and it wasn’t until he saved us from our Grandfather after Brancie and I brought down a terrorist organization that I learned his identity.]]

[[Darling…you may be onto something here; one doesn’t simply just MEET the Kaleidoscope Sage. Even the shebitch who birthed me cannot arrange a meeting with him without wading her way through an unfathomable amount of red tape.]] Dusting off her hands and checking around the wall for any lingering wood splinters, Selene turned and backed up her boyfriend’s claim.

[[You are walking a slippery slope Cyn; if what you say is accurate, and blessings are counted in such a way, wouldn’t we be running out of additional blessings?]] Rolling his tongue along his back left molar, Brance glanced from Selene to Cynrik.

[[That is what I am saying, Brancie, the Divinity fragments may be plentiful, but if I am right, then we may end up outgunned later on down the line, providing the other LCs get more free overpowered shit than we have.]]

[[Ugh, this shit is hurting my head, we can deal with whatever comes in the future, for now, we need to head over to pick up our resources from the Headmaster’s office.]] Throwing his hands up in the air, Brance turned around and headed toward the front door, leaving Cynrik and Selene alone in the living room.

[[We should probably go after him, Darling, I don’t know how that mind wipe thing Norik talked about works, but I am sure the others are wondering where we went.]] Walking passed Cynrik and patting his butt along the way, Selene quickly chased after Brance.

Alone in the Dorm, Cynrik sighed loudly, let his hair down from its ponytail, put the black hair tie in his mouth, and ran his fingers through the soft multi-colored strands.

‘Tobs, I don’t suppose you could shed some light on this topic?’

-No, I can not; the contents of a Legacy Charges Blessings are confidential, and until you recognize them for what they are, I am unable to respond.-

‘I see, so what you are saying is, if I guess correctly, you can confirm. In that case, my current blessings are my [Mindscape], [Language Proficiency], Dark Affinity, and Bloodline…right?’

-You are correct; those are four of your Divine Blessings.-

Quickly picking up on how Tobs worded her statement, Cynrik’s eyes narrowed.

‘Four of, Tobs, are you saying I have more active blessings currently? WAIT! How can I be so fucking blind, Tobs? You are ALSO one of my Divine blessings, aren’t you?’

-Incorrect, the presence of the Over-Break System is NOT one of your Divine Blessings, but merely a necessity. Every Legacy Charge has some form of System AI; I just happen to be the one developed by Raven God Odin and God Of Light Yahweh.-

‘Tsk, I am overthinking this whole situation; why am I so fixated on these blessings? Anyway, Tobs, I assume you have finished compiling the list of necessary resources and requirements for our Tier-3 Evolutions; you can send them through to me and the others now.’ Tying his long shoulder-length hair into a neat ponytail, Cynrik massaged his temples.
