Chapter 222: Adam and Ava Part 1

{You want to give me a name, but I am merely a program like you have realised} stated the system.

"No, you clearly said that I could become your friend when I saw you and here you are stood before me. Although I might not be powerful enough yet, you are sharing my experiences and life, so aren't a program, but are more of a companion" refuted Adam who could somehow sense that she felt lonely.

"Whoever made you, didn't make a program, but made me a companion. I am bound to you and you are bound to me, so it is only right that I give you a name. If you were merely a program, you wouldn't be able to feel emotions or think for yourself" stated Adam.

The system didn't know how to react and for the first time felt something that she assumed was happiness. She didn't feel lonely, left out and misunderstood like she was feeling before and didn't understand why she was feeling that way.

She began to gain emotions, feelings and the ability to think for herself slowly, but didn't understand what they were.

The gorgeous figure before Adam smiled and had tears streaming down her face, but Adam still felt uncomfortable because of her beauty so didn't approach her.

"Your name will be Ava" decided Adam.

There were many different meanings behind the name and two of them being life and beautiful, which Adam explained to her and made her even happier.

"Now that we are friends, can I have some system points?" asked Adam shamelessly.

Ava, who stood before him, didn't know how to react to his question and didn't want to upset Adam and tell him that she couldn't.

"You have changed so much in an instant. I was only joking, I know that you cannot do that. But what I do want from you is more support, knowledge and information when you can" requested Adam.

{I can do that for the host} affirmed Ava.

"Also try not to be so formal and serious and call me Adam, not 'the host'" added Adam before leaving his mindscape.

Adam was shocked by the new development in the system, but he had gained a companion that could share his struggles and was also heaven-defyingly beautiful, so he had no reason to complain.

Ava was also shocked by how Adam treated and accepted her, as she stood in Adam's mindscape and began to replay everything that Adam had said to her.

She was restricted by the system's program and could only do and say what the system allowed her to do, which Adam knew, but that didn't mean that she couldn't relax and live like a human would within Adam's mindscape.

Ava just wanted to feel appreciated, accepted and human, which were 3 of the things that Adam made her feel and was why she had suddenly completely changed.

Adam was happy with her change, but didn't want it to slow down his progress and was still focused on increasing his power. Feeling his drive and being programmed to assist Adam in his pursuit of power, Ava felt the same way as Adam and wanted to give him more support, not hold him back.

Ava knew things about the world, the universe and the system itself that she couldn't reveal to Adam, but Adam was on track to finding them all out and becoming someone that would be feared throughout the universe.

"I'm really sleepy right now and need to rest to recover, so I'm going to have a nap" announced Adam.

"The ride isn't that long, so you won't be able to sleep much," said Angela.

Adam smiled, knowing that he would be entering the dungeon, and replied, "Oh I will, I sleep very deeply".

Adam leaned his head against the car window, so that his body didn't collapse and was sure that they would look after his unconscious body when he entered the dungeon, so was planning to go on a long hunt.

Returning to his mindscape, Adam was still slightly intimidated by Ava's beauty, but was pleased by it and it made him feel much better about himself knowing that he was the only one that could see such a beauty.

"I will be entering the dungeon now. You are my companion on my journey in bot reality and the dungeon,  so I will be relying on your support and advice when I am in there" stated Adam.

{Sure Adam, you will now be transported onto Floor 5 where you last left off} announced Ava.

She still had her role as the system and couldn't just become Adam's companion within his mindscape, but it was reassuring to have her within his mind as a human and as a companion, rather than a robotic voice.

Ava felt the same way as she activated the transportation of Adam's soul into the dungeon.

{Adam you are still on stage 1, but should be able to complete it within less than two days of being in the dungeon. Use the Unique Step Skill and Collector Skill wisely, but remember they are very draining and always try to conserve energy as recovering is very time-consuming, even with the Ethereal Recover Skill} advised Ava's soft and gentle voice within Adam's mind.

Adam smiled after hearing her voice in his head and was glad that she was being more active and talking to him more, especially since he was in the dungeon where he would feel very lonely.

[With such a beautiful lady watching me within my mind, I have to try my hardest] said Adam within his mind, knowing that Ava could hear him.

Ava created her image in the way that she knew Adam would be pleased with using all his female desire, but still couldn't help but blush slightly because of the complement.

Adam equipped all of the equipment that he had bought and received as loot over the past two months and as he felt his power increase from the equipment's enhancing effects, he was ready to hunt.
