As it turned out, it was me. I was the one responsible for the gathering of ancient monsters that probably should be asleep. What was I thinking when I did that thing? Oh right. I wasn’t thinking. I should’ve been.
Now I had to prepare to explain my actions to these monsters...ugh. How do you talk to them again? I remember there being a specific way to do it. I just never learnt it.
Well anyway, I had work to do. I had to deal with my notifications. Totally not escaping reality there.

Well there were the stats I had wanted. I was finally a Primal Grade Algrean. Yay for me, now only if they did anything other than look nice.
Now for the hopefully more important stats.
You have learned the Skill
|Emotional Casting) : Wielding a power forbidden, you have casted a spell most grand. Though unpredictable in nature, this form of casting can be a useful tool… as long as you you use it well.
Well, a skill. I really needed to learn to use them. The only time I'd tried, I had expanded all of my mana in five seconds with nothing to show for it
Skill upgraded!
Your skill (Otherworldly Mana Manipulation) has achieved the First Threshold, you may now enjoy reduced mana charges on all skills, greater power and extended tendril formation
Interesting, so there were 'thresholds' to the skills? But what was up with the description? It told me nothing. Then again which of the System's descriptions told anyone anything? Stupid System. It should be scrapped.
Crossing achieved.
Welcome to the Primal Grade.
As a Transmigrator Count you gain nothing.
Your territory gains +3 Mana Points. Enjoy.
Snarky… what was going on? Did I offend the System without knowing it? Why was it angry at me?
Ugh… anyway next
…
…
…
What. In. The. Worlds. Is. Going. On?
There are three notifications pending. Why have they not appeared yet?
"Can you pay attention now, your excellency? " A voice said. It's words may be polite but the tone was anything but. "Or are you still more interested in your notifications than the state of your country? "
"How will I know the state of my country if you don't let me see it? " I asked. I had prepared an excuse after all. "It's not as if people allow me to go places. "
"Ignoring your insufficient excuses, the Algrean World Council would like to know why you felt the need to withdraw from it. " The voice said, making it clear how beneath me it thought itself by not even making it clear which of the many figures hovering in the air it was.
Now see, whoever the voice belonged to had no right to request such things. But I knew better than to reject the politely worded demand. I was weak and I knew it.
"Because I was left with no choice . " I replied.
"No choice how? " The voice asked, a frown audible in it. Perhaps I had gained a sympathizer. “I rather doubt that a family such as the Arlfords would have such laws. You better stop lying now “ Or not.
“I. AM. Not Lying. You may choose to not believe me but perhaps you will believe the System? Maybe remove this block of yours and I can show you?” I replied
“Very well.” As soon as the voice finished I found myself staring at my notifications.
Deciding not to read them at this time I instead went to the complaint option and pointed the screen towards the figures, hoping they could to see it.
“You have to turn on the System share.” A more feminine voice said.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
A bit confused I just thought ‘System share’ really hard, that seemed to make the System go where you wanted to. And just like that I was staring at a page dedicated to sharing status screens. I clicked one that let me show exactly one notification and showed the notification to the figures.
as a minor you must gain permission to make such charges.
Above in the sky there was silence for a second and then the figures collectively turned towards who I thought was Meemauy.
“I do believe an explanation is in order, your excellency” the first voice said. Now that I was no longer under the sole focus of all those auras, I could see and hear them better.
The voice belonged to a brown robed figure.
“The law was supposedly passed years ago, I fear the High Council may have been playing with the laws a bit . I shall find out and return with more information.” Meemauy said
“Insufficient. Summon that High Council of yours now.” a calm voice emerged form a figure that suddenly emerged
“Lord of the Farewell Lands. I was not aware that you had emerged from your seclusion once more.” Meemauy said, not faltering. But I recognised that name. It was the one who was equal to my ancestor in power. And definitely more powerful to Meemauy.
“Well I am. Where is Narvin? You Alfords tend to stick together. Also tell your brother and the others to come out. I already know about them.” the Lord of the Farewell Lands said
Behind Meemauy about twenty five figures appeared. On the other side the same amount appeared also. This had apparently become a competition between the Arlford family and the...Farewell Lands? That was the Lord of the Farewell Lands’ Faction I suppose.
“I suppose it was time we met, Lord of the Farewell Lands. I am Faurlen Arlford. Patriarch of the Arlford family. A pleasure to meet you.” a figure behind Meemauy said
“A pleasure to meet you too Patriarch, I would say that it is weird that we have not met in seventeen millenia but clearly we move in different circles. Or have been deliberately avoiding each other. One of the two”The Lord of the Farewell Lands said, I could just feel the smile in his words. Apparently the Lord of the Farewell Lands did not want the situation to escalate.
“Perhaps, but going back to the matter at hand. I admit to being lax in my watch over the little ones. I shall discipline them. Perhaps we can discuss this matter more at the kid’s Naming ceremony.” The Patriarch replied.
“Very well.” The Lord of the Farewell Lands said as the figures disappeared. Leaving me and the administrator at the City Hall.
Now, how am I supposed to get back?
