Novel Bin Chapter 75 - New System Functions
-----
As I accepted the offer from the planet\'s will, I touched the dungeon core crystal. She immediately decided to share all the information needed so I could understand things properly.
The rush of information included many interesting things that I didn\'t know about, various of them were important, and others not so much, but I appreciated the details.
The Planet has acquired consciousness for very long, and it has been taking care of the planet\'s life since then, although it has been more of a figure similar to a watcher, she has also been gaining more power through the worship of various deity figures over the years.
It learned that something strange was happening from long ago, as the Great One Above All Creation had already started fusing the dimensions together… And since then she slowly prepared and created a System.
However, creating the System took a lot of time, and most of her stockpiled power, so what she can do now is very limited. Even more, now that she has given me part of her reserve energies to making me into the Planet\'s Guardian.
To be honest, now I am kind of forced to protect the planet because this Skill binds my life with it.
If I die, the planet does, and if the planet dies, I die…
Yup… It is rather a bad thing to know, but I am not planning on dying any time soon, nor I am planning on leaving any alien to continue to harm the world.
I have become more or less Captain Planet… Yahoo…
Anyways, the Soul Record System is supposed to help the humans fight back, but humanity is doing a terrible job and millions are getting slaughtered on the first day.
Mostly because the monsters that emerged were like end-game bosses, so it\'s not like the big cities had any hope when these literal living gods descended and began to blast them into ashes.
With this information came things such as a total map of the entire world registered into my mind, while also giving me the perception of the planet to detect the powerful beings roaming around, their powers, and what they are doing too, so it is very useful.
Alongside that… well, it would be better to check the Skill itself.
…
[Planet\'s Guardian: Earth (-)]
A Skill gave to the Guardian of the Planet Earth, selected by the planet\'s will.
Grants a substantial enhancement to the user\'s growth speed, alongside stats, and stat growth.
Additionally, it grants several extra effects:
A complete map of the entire planet within your mind, where you can guide yourself easily where you need to go.
You can expand your senses across the entire planet by using Mana, detecting foes and dangerous entities rushing around, so you can find them easily.
You can share the power with the planet, the more power you acquire, the stronger the planet will grow as well, upgrading the system alongside this.
By using a lot of Mana, the planet can enhance your capabilities and stats by a small amount of time, but there is a cooldown of a whole day before you can use this again.
By using a lot of mana, you can exert the planet\'s Laws over an enemy, temporarily suppressing part of their power, has a cooldown of half a day.
You become a natural leader to all living beings that have originated from this planet.
…
Yep… It is broken.
With this Skill, my senses had expanded across the planet, and I can now see a giant mental map of everything! I can even detect all these monstrous end-game-bosses-like monsters that had emerged, even the dungeons, and more!
And I can even see where I am with my summons as well, how nice.
I could even expand my senses even more I never get surprised again, but that cost a crap ton of Mana, more than I am willing to use at the same time, I have to be cautious with mana, if I use too much, I might end up making my summons dissipate into ethereal forms as they need my constant mana to be materialized.
There are also two special abilities, one that enhances my stats for some little time that has a day of cooldown, and another that I can use to suppress a large part of an enemy\'s power to defeat them… this has a half a day cooldown and might end up being my trump card against these insane monsters roaming around.
I open my eyes just after a few seconds of touching the crystal.
"Did you get it all?" asked the crystal.
"Indeed, Gaia. I understand most of it now… You really just forced me into this, but it\'s like I had any other option, without this power I would probably get killed soon enough…" I sighed.
"O-Oh, you\'re calling me by that name…" said Gaia rather shyly.
"Indeed, is it bad?" I asked.
"Oh no, I am glad that you are becoming closer with me. I would gladly get closer with my guardian, Gustav," said Gaia.
I don\'t know if this is fucked up or not, but I believe the planet is rather cute. She has a motherly personality and is also gentle and respectful of me.
"Hmm… You\'ve become awfully close in this little time, Master…" sighed Kireina.
"Will the planet be the third?" asked Anna.
"The third? What do you mean by the third? The third of what?" I asked.
"N-Never mind, master!" said Anna.
Wait… I guess these two already see themselves as part of my "partners" or something? Damn Anna, calm down there…
And well, is Gaia being included now by them?
Ugh, I can\'t help but finds this awkward, even as a web novelist that wrote some harem books.
I guess when you experience it in the first person, things change a bit.
"I don\'t really get it… But I would gladly become closer with you, Gustav," said Gaia, she seemed like the dense type of woman.
"Well, don\'t mind what they said… For now, I will check a few things," I said.
Specifically, the new System Functions!
