"Wait, what?" I thought, just having finished watching the... uhh, non family friendly match. Getting a new quest isn't what's odd, but the description is. I understand what it wants, but preparation for what exactly? "What's, uhh... that corrupted text?" I said trying to inspect the odd prompt.

Outside influence detected, Rebooting...
...
Being bombarded by prompts with words that i can't even begin to try to understand, i see the prompts keep appearing, outside influence, what? Suddenly everything goes dark, I can't feel anything, I can't see anything, I can't do anything, I can only barely even think anything, I'ts like a thick haze around my very being. Other than me, nearly every one of the myriad species were left feeling stumped as they lost acces to the system, "Emergency reboot?" Could be heard from several people.
"What the fuck was that?!", I said being jolted awake from my involuntary slumber. I immediatly feel something wrong, a dreadful feeling originating from one specific point on terra. I use my [System's Eye] skill and focus in on the peciuliarity, an ominous chill scurries down my imaginary spine from the mana eminating from the spot, it felt wrong. It feels as if this mana, energy? and [SM] are different sides of the same coin, I try to inspect the ominous energy and i surprisingly got an answer,
[CM], c̴̲͝h̷̭͇̔̕a̷̡̺̒o̵̳͉̐̓s̶͖̊ ̴͉̗͘͝ṁ̶̜͔a̷͉̗̓̊n̶̯̥͝a̶̞̺̓ is one of the many energy types in the Multiverse, it is the direct opposite of [System mana] commonly found within systems. However, [CM] is used by Chaos's
Yeah, that's what I thought. However, Chaos's? considering that they are called "Chaos's", it's hard to think that they're anything good, that corruption, it doesn't sit right with me. Now what to do with this collection of chaos mana, as I look closely, i notice that the amount of [CM] is slowly increasing, aswell as the creepy feeling eminating from it. I take a closer look at the collection of [CM] to try and see where it's coming from, i notice something, i sense a disturbance in the very balance of the world itself, a hole, in the very fabric of the world. [CM] is seeping out of it, slowly but surely. I obviously can't let this fucking [CM] into the planet im governing, mostly because it's creepy as hell. So I imagine my [SM] Taking the form of a thread and needle to sew shut this... rift in space, "Systems will!" I watch as a bright blue glowing thread forms in the air and makes its way to the rift, it pierces the edges of the rift and then the edges on the other side of the rift, then it constricts the rift. as the rift shatters in upon itself, it screeches terribly, sure to give me some form of ear damage if i still had those, lol. Starting to celebrate, another prompt appears,

Level up x3!
New skill aqcuired
THREE LEVELS? God damn! I guess I did i pretty good fucking job. Lets check out this new skill then, "Status!"
Name: Resources: Level: Species: Skills: System#2970 [SM]: 0/10 5/10 System, (Planetary level) [System] (passive) [Grant Titles] (active) [Systems eye] (active) [Systems Will] (active) [Chaos Resistance] (passive)
"Chaos resistance?"
[Chaos Resistance] (Passive) Grants the user a resistance towards chaos mana based attacks and negative side effects of chaos mana.
Negative side effects? I guess it means that feeling of dread the [CM] inflicted upon me, could have been nice to have earlier. I say annoyed. just then i noticed, Oh, me closing that rift used up all of my [SM], just closing the rift used all my [SM], that much for just doing a little dimensional sewing. To be honest, i have no idea if it is expensive or cheap as I have nothing to compare the cost to. But what am I supposed to do with the [CM] that already made it through? I kinda zone out thinking about how to dispose of it with no [SM], thankfully in that moment my [SM] meter ticks up from 0/10 to 1/10, Abracadabra sim sala bim, now get your ass the hell out of 'ere, i jokingly chant while using [Systems Will], I observe as my [SM] closes in on the stray [CM], it envelops it and then snuffs it out. Neat, I thought.
hoping nothing more bad happens again, i jst jinxed myself, didn't I? Yup definetly did, welp, it is what it is.
