Chapter 221: The System Gains Sentience

The system's words told Adam that there was a program that the system was following and couldn't go against and also showed him that the system could think for itself.

He didn't understand much about the system and didn't know anything about its origins, but what he did know was that he was lucky to have gained it and it seemed as though the system's only intention was to aid his growth.

[Thanks a lot system, you are beginning to grow on me and if you can think for yourself, have also become my friend] thanked Adam within his mind.

Adam had become allied with two young family heads, won the battle with Mason and had massively increased his skills in a short period of time, which Adam was sure was the reason he received the reward.

But he was also sure that the system had given him the Step Skip Unique Skill knowing that he would need it to win the battle and accomplish what he had accomplished, which was why he was so thankful for the system.

{Friend, you can become my friend when you can see me and when you are powerful enough} stated the system in an arrogant tone.

Adam just chuckled to himself and was looking forward to uncovering more about the system and finding out how he could see the system and what Cultivation Level he would have to reach to do so.

[System, are you a girl?] asked Adam.

The system's voice was robotic and the voice alone didn't seem to be that of a man or a woman, but from the system's attitude and speech pattern, Adam could imagine her being a young girl.

In fact, the way the system spoke reminded him of how Angela was when they first met as the system had the same arrogance and superiority complex, yet was quite nice and didn't have negative intentions towards him.

{Gender is something that is beneath me and is something that hasn't been given to me, but if the host would like me to be of a certain gender, that is possible} said the system.

Adam could feel that the system embarrassed and didn't understand how, but the system seemed to have gained emotions and its own thoughts.

Upon integrating with the system, it was very robotic and monotone, but as time went on the system seemed to be gaining sentience, which was something that Adam didn't think was possible.

Sentience is the capacity to be aware of feelings and sensations and initially, Adam thought the system was merely a program, but it seemed as though the system was learning how to feel and think.

It must have been doing so by watching Adam's experiences and being able to sense his thoughts, as the system was integrated with Adam's mind and soul.

Adam smiled to himself and answered the system, [I would prefer you to be a beautiful female with a soft voice and it would also be better if you can talk to me in a more gentle and seductive manner].

"What are you smiling about?" asked Angela, seeing Adam smiling for no reason.

"Don't worry about it?" said Adam as he closed his eyes.

Adam was only joking with the system, but the system didn't seem to understand that he was joking and hadn't reached that level of emotional intelligence.

{How is this for the host?} asked the system in a soft and gentle voice that caused Adam to feel weirdly uncomfortable as an image of an alluring woman appeared within his mind.

A female figure that was perfect in every way and even surpassed Angela in beauty, which Adam didn't think was possible, appeared within his mind and it seemed to be the system.

{The host requested me to be a beautiful female with a soft voice. You also wanted me to be more gentle and seductive, is this not to the host's liking?} asked the system, seeing Adam stood before her with an overwhelmed and shocked expression.

Adam had unknowingly entered his mindscape and the system was standing before him as a female that had reached the peak of beauty and was perfect for him in every way.

{This form was created as per the host's desires} informed him the system.

Adam regained composure and couldn't help but stare and be mesmerised by the system's perfect face and body.

"I was only joking when I said that," told her Adam as he stood still, afraid to get any closer to the goddess that stood before him.

{Would you like the system to revert....} asked the system before being interrupted by Adam.

"No, no, no. Stay exactly how you are and I prefer the system having a physical form within my mind" interrupted Adam, who had no reason to refuse having such a godly beauty within his mind.

"From here on out you are a female" declared Adam.

He found it weird that the robotic system within his mind had become the woman of his dreams and was able to easily mesmerise and overwhelm him with her beauty and voice, but at the same time, weirdly liked it.

The system was the only person that shared everything that Adam was feeling and knew everything that he had been through as she could see his memories and felt everything that he was feeling, even when he was in the dungeon.

Despite having friends and those that he cared about around him, it was hard and lonely not being able to share his secrets and what he was experiencing, but seeing the system in a human form, it made him feel as though he had less of a burden on him.

{I am glad the host likes the system's new form and voice. As per the host's requests, I can be found in this human form within your mindscape at all times} stated the system.

Adam was overjoyed with what he was seeing, but felt like there was something missing.

"That's it, you need a name" he realised.
