The Idle System (A LitRPG series Book 7): Family, Pegaz [learn to read books txt] 📗

John placed his finger on the body’s forehead and used the time element to alter his body. This was only possible because the body was just a shell. It wasn’t alive, and it didn’t have a soul inside it yet.

Soon, the body looked more like a fifteen-year-old boy, but John couldn’t see the age of the body in his Immortal Eye skill, so it wasn’t guaranteed if he really was fifteen years old.

He knew how old Danny was back on Earth and simply reversed the number of years to make him fifteen again.

There was nothing else he could do, so he unwrapped the threads around Danny’s soul and carefully guided the soul into the body.

As soon as the soul fully merged with the body, some rags which covered the important parts were created which surprised John.

How do clothes get created by the soul merging with the body? Are these made of Soul Power?

After examining the clothes and finding nothing to answer his questions, John placed Danny’s body on the floor, face-down in some mud next to a pile of trash, before he flew into the sky.

While he was in the sky, he thought about the systems.

I still don’t know how the systems are created. I only transferred the souls from one universe to another and had nothing to do with creating them, yet Danny will wake up with a system.

The most plausible thing I can think of is that the mass of Chaos Power that acts like a barrier to this universe has something to do with it.

If that barrier can alter the time when souls come into this universe, can it also make a system that latches onto the soul?

When a Sider dies and the soul moves on, the system stays behind inside the body and will control it after ten thousand years, so I’m not sure if I’m right or not.

Every Sider that I’ve met, including myself, has a system that involves their past life one way or another and our memories are intact when we arrive in this universe.

That means O’Malley was right about our soul carrying our memories while they go through that barrier. That should’ve been obvious from the start, though, since we were reborn in this universe with memories!

Since the systems are connected to our past lives, that barrier is the only thing that connects everything together.

I can say that it all seems plausible; I just don’t know how it works.

John then watched Danny get up, get knocked over by the horses that Rose’s carriage was using, and then used the time element to speed up time while making sure the past events of Danny’s life happened like they should.

When Rose betrayed Danny, John paused time and flew next to him. He used the Soul Manipulation skill on him and suggested using the Sinners System to reach its potential.

History repeated itself as Danny killed his way through the kingdoms and gained power that rivalled immortals before he met the real immortals.

After the fight between Danny and the immortals, John was floating in the air while invisible and he noticed Danny was staring in his direction as he lay on the floor, dying.

Oh, I remember Danny’s last thoughts.

‘This is the best I can help you out, John. I hope your life is a lot better than mine.’

Who knew he was speaking to not only me that witnessed his life first-hand, but the me floating above him that made these events happen?

He can’t see me, but his instincts—after all this fighting—must be telling him I’m here, watching.

At least I now have an answer as to how Danny knew about me even though he had lived over thirty thousand years earlier.

Sarah was right. She said it was called a time paradox, and something should happen that would transfer some of my memories to Danny while he was alive.

I gave him some of my memories through the Information Sphere.

Now that Danny has served his purpose here, which helped me immensely, I suppose I’ll suffer a little and make it up to him.

My vision of Danny’s life ended before the soul came out since Danny’s system shut down to preserve its function until it’s able to take over the body, so it’s safe to take the soul back.

John flew down to Danny’s body. When the soul came out of the body again, he used his threads to wrap around it.

He opened up his universal map, went to the other universe, and clicked on Earth to teleport there.

When he opened his eyes once more, he was back on Earth.

That worked better than I thought!

I thought I would have to suffer another two months to get here with his soul, but now the souls can travel through the barrier without resistance.

The first trip through the barrier must have caused the souls to mutate, or the resistance was there in the first place to generate the systems through the souls’ memories.

If I’m right, then as long as a soul has already been given a system from the barrier, then they’ll have no resistance from it. That could explain why I could travel through the barrier as a soul without resistance, too.

Wait... If the barrier is the one that makes the systems, then does the ‘we’ in my system messages mean the universe itself?

O’Malley did say I have to defy the universe to kill transcendents, but to defy something means it needs sentience to make and govern the rules. If it’s got sentience, then maybe it could give out rewards and punishments in the systems, too?

That’s the best theory I’ve found so far that might answer at least another question I’ve had.

John used the light element to turn invisible before he flew high into the air. He could see he was in America again and thanks to his first trip, he knew where New York was this time.

He decreased his altitude while going towards New York.

When he arrived, he went back to Times Square but stayed
