《The World-ruling Dungeon》Ch 60 – System Overhaul

"Why are you even crying?!" I ask, trying to understand the complicated existence we call women.
"Because! You know how hard I tried to become a god!? And now I'm one, but because I failed!"
'Tasks failed successfully! I guess... Haaah. I need to make her cheer up and figure this all out still...'
"See... At least you are here with me now, right? Also, I need your help figuring this stuff out, can you just snap out of it for a second?"
"If you need my help... I guess I can leave this for later." With a cheeky look, Gloria blushed, putting her hands behind herself while sawing her foot side to side.
"You are very cute. You know that, right? Especially when you're naked." I say, putting my hands on her waist as I stare at her lovely expression. God, I feel as if my nose would start to bleed.
"Wha-" She became tomato head, as she looked down towards herself realizing she'd been naked this whole time. "I... I was naked when that girl came..."
"Yeah?" I confirmed, without thinking much about the implications.
"I... was naked and that girl saw me... She saw me naked..." Gloria began grumbling incomprehensible stuff about Mikky's visit that I didn't really care. Rather, she looks even cuter when embarrassed, so I see this as a win, despite delaying my progress on sonving this stuff.
Meanwhile, I decided it was time to check my stats. A lot had happened lately... 'Status?'
Huh? What the hell do you mean with realm?
...
The heck... Mortal.
Again? ... What regions are there?
There are two options then... Holdup. What even is "█████████████"?
I see... Derhär Skiten is probably this world then... Select that.
Is this a joke? Are you fucking kidding me? What the fuck do these stupid ass PC skills do?

Wait! Hold up. You mean all those meme skills actually have a use in real life?! What kind of God would even have the stupid idea of including this kind of meme!?
What is it with a blank name?
Yeah... Whatever. Let's put all cores to get all that EP!
Eh - Why - think - Ow - Head - Hot - Stop - Stop - STOP!
The fuck was that!?
YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD IT EARLIER!
Oh... I see... Oi! Since when have you become this smart!?
Oh... So you are smart because you rely on my power as a God.
Operator?! Who would that even be?
I look to the side to see the cute naked girl still thinking about the encounter with Mikky.
"Gloria. Check the system out! You are still the admin or something like that."
"HEH!?" My words seem to have brought her back to reality as she walks towards me. "How do I use it?"
"Ah... I forgot to ask that part." Does her system work the same as mine?
I see... Thanks.
"Gloria, all you have to do is think about it and it should show up."
"T- This is..." Gloria opened a broad smile as small tears began forming on her face.
"What is it?" I ask her.
"It's... Marvelous! Everything is here. I have access to anything and everything and I can see everything I ever wanted to see it's amazing! Can't you see!?"
"I... Can't see anything." Even with all the processing power I got, her talking this much this quickly was a lot! Rather, why is she so thrilled about this... I don't get why a system would turn her on this much.
"Hold up, there sure is a toggle somewhere that should allow me to share the visual of it... Found it! Here goes nothing."

As soon as she said that, thousands and thousands of consoles popped up from thin air, just like the monitors I used to check on the different rooms of the dungeon with the "camera" setup, no... This was much more than just that. The sheer scale was completely broken.
Thousands and thousands of them, some overlapping with one another... It really looked like a SIS_ADMIN's Nightmare, an IBM Stretch Mainframe console running thousands of operations. Jesus fuck the logs roll up so fast I can't even track down a word.
"... Gloria... Care to explain what this is?"
"IT'S FREE REAL ESTATE!"
"Are you sure you are fine?" I asked, thinking she must have gone insane.
"You just don't understand! I can see anything and everything at a moment's notice. Check this monster tab." With her words, a small screen moved forward and enlarged itself. In it, I could see a ridiculous list of monsters, their prices, tiers, everything. If I focused for too long on a name, the full sheet of that monster would simply pop up with all the info, evolutions, classes, personalization options... Holy shit this is much more effective than my system.
...
"You see how amazing it is!? Gun? Is everything okay? Why are you making that face?"
"It's not that much but... I felt a great disturbance in my mind, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced." I said, going back to using her system to analyze the options to further improve our dungeon.
This is an IBM Stretch:

What?! The world outside the village is full of villains.
Saulo Delanova is a young Amish. He doesn't use electricity, travels by horse and carriage, and eats what he sows in a community with a traditional lifestyle, rural and voluntarily separated from modern society. A community that for foreign eyes is frozen in time.

The situation would be manageable if it weren't for a detail. In his community they live under the principles of nonviolence! In a world where each being is born with an identifying color, can summon a weapon and fight with the power of the elements -or what is known as trinity or three characteristics of a user-, villains abound because of this power that each person can easily use. Ignorant of the life in the country's most important city, Saul will have to face culture shock to adapt to this outside world unknown to him, and to the people and events that will make him fall into the bowels of the world of temptations.
