Chapter 247 247 – System’s Origin
He was about to ask the same question that he had asked when he had first met her, the question which had been on his mind ever since he arrived.
A question which he desperately wanted an answer to, however, no matter how much he tried to get it no one was able to give it to him it seemed.
It seemed to be the biggest secret that everyone held, well for those who knew because it was clear that many ignored the truth.
Aiden didn’t know why, but from his interactions with the system, he knew that there was something deeply wrong with it.
He was sure that it wasn’t a machine or an algorithm.
“Yeah, go ahead and ask me whatever you want,” Melinda replied, looking at him, quite annoyed because she had wanted to know about his class since it seemed to be quite an important subject.
Aiden hearing that had a little smile appear on the corner of his face. He liked the words that she had used.
‘Whatever I want, huh?’ Aiden thought, knowing that she could go back on her words, but it was less likely since she had said that.
“Anything I want, right?” asked Aiden a second time still with a smile on his face.
Melinda seeing this had a weird feeling as she decided to make things clear.
“I want to make it clear, so you can’t ask for anything sexual alright,” Melinda said while having a big grin on her face.
Seeing that grin, Aiden instantly understood that she was joking when she said that and that she knew that Aiden would never be the type to ask such a thing.
But, even if he knew that, he couldn’t but have pink cheeks because of how embarrassing that comment was in the first place.
How old was she?
Maybe twenty, fifty, or even one hundred years old.
As much as Aiden wanted to find out about her age, he wouldn’t use his question on that since he was about to ask something much more important.
“Melinda this time you have to answer, alright,” Aiden repeated looking at her directly in the eyes.
He wanted to show her that he was extremely serious about what was happening right now.
He wasn’t joking at all.
“The system, where does it come from, who created it?” Aiden asked as he was now sure that the system wasn’t an entity controlled by a machine or something like that. 𝞰𝒐𝒱𝓮𝔩𝐍𝔢xt.𝒸𝚘𝕞
If Aiden had been able to make a deal with it, then it had to mean that there was someone or maybe a group that was behind it.
However, because of how Aiden lacked strength, even if he desperately wanted information about that group or person, it was simply impossible.
There was simply no way for him to know, his only chance was right in front of him and her name was Melinda.
“Again with that question, huh?” she responded jokingly, seemingly not becoming serious nor angry.
She still kept the same face as earlier.
‘Please tell me the truth and not some bullshit lie,’ Aiden thought, unsure if she was about to tell the truth.
It would be simple for her to lie since there was literally no way for Aiden to know about it, she was the best enchantress in the world, after all.
Could Aiden even demand answers from her?
The answer to that question was quite simple actually, no.
There was simply no way for him to beat Melinda who had much higher stats than him.
Maybe he would be able to do it in the future, but as of right now with the strength that he had accumulated in the past months.
It wasn’t possible, not possible at all.
So, Aiden could only do a single thing, hope.
“If you want me to answer that question, you will need the reason as to why you want to know who created the system or whatever you just said,” Melinda said, wanting more information as to why Aiden was so interested in it.
The system was giving him strength, so why was he so worried about its ownership?
Aiden hearing her, had no choice but to nod.
He agreed that he should at least give some details about his request.
However, there was no chance of him revealing that he came from another world and that was his second chance at life.
Why would he even do that, when there was a better option, lying? Well… he wasn’t about to completely lie.
“It’s because I find it weird that such a thing even exists in the first place, where does it come from? Where do those worlds that we get trials in come from? Are they real worlds or worlds purely created by the system? There are so many questions in my mind that I don’t have answers to, so please answer the one I just said. Please,” Aiden uttered, as he got on his knees begging for an answer.
However, even while doing it, he wondered if it would be enough.
“So, you only want to know who is behind the system, right?” Melinda asked, impressed that Aiden had figured it out.
Aiden hearing this, nodded his head up and down repeatedly.
The other questions that he had just mentioned were also on his mind, but he didn’t think that they were as important as knowing the name of the entity that was controlling the system.
“I do, I only want to know about that,” Aiden answered.
Then, as he said that, he thought of something.
‘I’ll just find out about the other answers by myself.’
Aiden wasn’t stupid, he knew that there was no way that Melinda would answer all of his questions.
However, if he could only get a small hint on who was behind this system, then it would surely help a lot as he would learn about who to ask those questions.
“But, I will make it clear that this is the last question that I will be answering,” Melinda said as she remembered her first conversation with Aiden.
