Explanation round. The system is a chatterbox!

Hey, what is going on here? How is it possible for you to read my thoughts and what is this about "remodelling"? Also, what is this place? How come there is absolutely nothing here, how did I get here in the first place and why can't I move?

To answer your questions:

1. Right now you are in the "Room of Remodeling", a room created by the gods in order to allow humans to modify themselves and acquire new or more power in order to survive the coming times.

2. I can read your thoughts as I am connected to your mind and partially a part of it.

3. You aren't actually here. At least not physically. I only transported your mind in this space as it is way easier. The changes you will make in this place will be applied to your real body though.

4. At the moment you can't move as you try to move the way you would do with a physical body, which you don't have currently so it doesn't work. You have to move with a conscious effort and actively try to move within space. Don't imagine yourself walking but instead being push or pulled by your own will. It should work this way.

Okay... let's try it. I'm going to question the absurdity of the rest later. So concentrate and then imagine...

imagine...

IMAGINE!!!

I did it! I moved! Well, it's only a few centimetres so it isn't really anything worth bragging about. It really is quite difficult.

No, it actually is something worth bragging about. As I am the system supervising every human currently in the "Room of Remodeling", which is every human on earth I can see how about 80-85% of them desperately try to move even just 1cm or just yell around and not even trying to listen.

Really? I mean really really? While it was difficult because it is very slow and you can't lose concentration for even a second it wasn't anything that should be that hard.

No from my observations, there are only about 10-15% of the humans who can imagine their own will this clearly. Most of the normal humans just don't really know how their own will should do it, what it should do and they can't concentrate properly as they are still very confused by the current situation.

Yeah, I can understand the being confused part. Because I also am still quite confused you know.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

I mean what happened? Why did it happen? How is such "supernatural" stuff that feels like it comes straight from some bad attempt at a story with game elements even possible? And also this is just as important, you said something about preparing for the times to come? I mean what is it that we need to prepare for?

Allow me to explain as it is part of my task.

All this has happened because Gaia, the spirit of the planet earth has reawakened. Because Gaia is back, Gaia's energy, also called Mana is now spreading throughout the world and will influence everything that exists on earth. Because of this, all the gods that were slumbering as well have also woken up.

These gods then came together in order to discuss what they should do from now on. This is very important because if the gods are awake, it is only a matter of time until the evil gods, the fallen gods and the apostles of the end will awake as well.

At the same time, all animals on earth will slowly undergo their respective evolution which is now available thanks to the appearance of mana and humans will change as well. Though that is mostly not in their appearance, they will stay human but things that are regarded as "something beyond the limits of humans" will now be possible. Humans strong enough to crush boulders with their pinky or a random twig will appear in the future as well as great magicians and sages who can command the elements and partially bend the laws of the universe.

This all is possible because of mana. However, animals and humans will no longer be the only inhabitants of the earth. Humans who have the diluted blood of the other sentient but now extinct species will slowly awaken their heritage. Given enough time they also would start to "evolve". They will slowly lose their humanity because the blood of the other races gets stronger the stronger they are. Which basically means that they will slowly transform into the race their ancestors were part of. Of course, another option is to have me awaken it right now forcefully which would mean one would undergo an immediate transformation into the race of your ancestors.

And that isn't all.

If there are people who use mana with malicious intent they will taint the used mana. Such tainted mana will then gather and slowly form monsters. Monsters aren't like mana beasts, the evolved form of animals who only want to live their own life and ensure the survival of their species. These monsters harbour nothing but malice and their only goal, as well as reason to exist, is to harm all species and destroy everything they encounter. And as these Monsters also can use mana they will taint even more mana which will give birth to even more monsters.

Because of that and because it would take the humans to long to properly adapt the gods decided to create the "Room of Remodeling" where humans can change themselves and become stronger so that as many as possible will survive in the future.

The "Room of Remodeling" acts as an interface where you can select the changes you want and...

OK!!! STOOOOP!!!

Jesus Christ, give me a break. That was too much in a too short period of time. Please just let me rest for now. I didn't even want it this precise. Also what the fuck?! There is just too much happening at once. Please clam down system.

I'm sorry, I forgot that the capabilities of the human brain are limited and humans can't even use it properly. I will pay attention to that in the future.

Yeah, thank you. Though the subtle insult wasn't necessary.

Anyway let me rest for a few minutes and digest what I just read.
