《Aether: The World Inside a Dream》1.4 - Awakening

What...? Loveta is a moonstruck!?
“Tch! Don't believe everything they tell you Master! I would never be part of a seedy group like that! Grrrrr!”
"Your lie won't save you!"
Murakami picks up momentum and swings her sword where Loveta is, but the other simply dodges it by going up a tree.
“It's not a lie, but for an imperial knight not to believe, I wouldn't expect less! Gyaaa!”
From above the tree, Loveta launches her chains, but Murakami knocks them back with the impact of her blade.
“Make no mistake, I'm not an Imperial anymore!”
“Gyu? Oh, no? So then why are you hunting soul-linkeds? For fun~? Gah! Don't give me that!”
Loveta leaps from the tree, doing a somersault in the air, and slams her chains with all her will on the ground, opening a huge crater in the middle of the trees.
Murakami narrowly deflects. Her face was slightly cut.
Damn it! Will I just keep watching?! Seeing my ideal anime girl and my angel fighting is the last thing I would like to see!
—I need to come up with something!
“I really wanted to go easy on you, but apparently there's no other way...” Murakami closes her eyes and raises her left arm into the air.
FLASH!!
A second sword appears in her hand.
What?? How did she do it?!
“Master!! Hurry! Take this opportunity and run away!”
“Don't look away! Your chat is with me!”
Using her new weapon, Murakami slices the air in an 'X' shape, and the impact of the blades with the wind flies towards Loveta.
BOOM!
Everything that was in front of her is devastated by the strong blast, leaving only her enemy full of cuts.
“Grrrrr...”
Even cut, Loveta demonstrates that she can still go on, and jumps all over the other.

The level of the fight between the two rises again.
Tch, trying to call them is useless. They are really focused fighting each other. Shit! What can I do?! I don't want to just stand here and do nothing, let alone run away! I've already had enough of playing this noob thing so far!
I need to think!
...Let's see, Murakami is a normal human, just like me, but despite that she can fight, and even create swords out of thin air. I remember she said that we are creators, and that everything here was created by people like us...
Ah, haha, it's obvious!
That, in other words, means that, if she can do it, so can I!
I just need to focus...
[Starting System...]
——!?
What was this??
A robotic voice starts talking in my head.
[System Started. Please select your class.]
As soon as I hear this, several figures appear before my vision. Each of them with a symbol and a description.
Warrior, assassin, archer, templar...?
Just what is going on?! These classes are exactly the same as in my mobile game!
VUUM!
A tree flies just right beside me.
Damn it, I don't have time to understand this! I've already been through so much, nothing else should surprise me anymore! Let's just do it!
I stretch out my fingers and then—
[Class 'Archer' selected.]
I have always been and always will be an archer!
[Do you want to do the tutorial?]
Tutorial? No! I am out of time!
[Tutorial skipped. Loading player assistant...]
A percentage appears in my field vision.
Player assistant? I don't remember that in the original game. And why a loading screen? As if it were a computer...
As the percentage increased, several icons appeared in my field vision, such as level, health, mana, inventory, skills and etc...

[Level: 1
Life: 1000
Mana: 100]
Holly, even the HUD is the same!
Then my hands start to glow and a wooden bow manifest in them.
Oh sure, the beginner bow...
[New skill unlocked: Flash Arrow
Mana cost: 50]
'Flash Arrow'? I don't remember seeing this in the game either, but never mind, if it works the same way I'm thinking—Then perfect!
Now I just need to know how to activate it... Uh, should I really have skipped the tutorial?
[Player assistant loaded.]
[Look if it's not the human? We meet again!]
Wait. Who is it?
The system's voice had changed to a girl's timbre.
Oh, never mind. You must be my assistant, right?
[Yea!]
So please help me! How do I activate this skill?!
[Uh..., just say it?]
Phew, of course...
Looking at the two beauties facing each other with all their might, I direct the arrow from my bow to my target, and just like that I shout—
“Skill: Flash Arrow!”
The shot is fast and accurate, hitting exactly the tree I had in my sights.
FLASH!
“Ugh!”
“Gyaaaa!”
They cover their eyes due to the intensity of the light, and when they discover it, they notice something different. Yes, to their surprise, I was in the middle of both, holding each other's arm.
“The battle ends here!” I say, looking at them seriously.
“Gya?! Master??”
“Ryouzen, did you… 'awakened'?”
Perplexed, they soon calm down.

Empathic capacity of a teaspoon
Reincarnating with the gamer interface was all a part of the plan, being reborn as Ron Weasley not so much. It was something I could work with, sure. Magic is great! But as I would soon learn, it had the tendency of introducing a plethora of other issues.

System Supervillain
I was there when it happened. When the walls of reality came crashing down upon us. When everything changed. I was there. I watched it happen. There wasn’t anything I could do, of course. When two veritable demigods are fighting to the death, getting caught in between is a great way to end up very dead. Or worse. That’s when it happened. Raw time crashed with pure paradox, and the universe itself screamed in torment. Night turned to day turned to yesterday and tomorrow and blue and yellow and whale and petunia, and then it snapped back, all at once, with a thunderous roar that was not heard but felt. And then I saw the blue box for the first time. ------------ A System Apocalypse event happens in a world of superheroes, like you would see in the comic books. What happens when the world changes, and heroes and villains are now bound by a System that limits their powers? What will change, and what will remain the same? This story will incorporate Champions/HERO System 5th Edition rules. There will be dice rolls determining the action, and blue boxes with lots of crunchy numbers. If you're not down for that, there are plenty of other stories on this site that you'll like. But if that sounds fun to you, then welcome aboard, and I invite you to see what happens when someone becomes a System Supervillain.
