Connor didn't want the being, that he occupied to know that he is a human being. It would take a couple of minutes to explain how he came to be. If the lady perceives him as a system at a start, he feels that he could easily manipulate her.
In the meantime, as Ava Philip are trying to figure out what had happened to her. Connor opens up his status window as he desires to know more about the points that he received.
Name: 001 Class: System Upgrade point: 1 Creation point: 100 Skill: Nil
Connor is finding a way to see if he could figure out what does upgrade point and creation means, he attempts to concentrate on the upgrade slot, fortunate enough, a new translucent window pops up.
Upgrade Point - Attribute to upgrade system level. More functions will be unlocked once the system is being updated.
'Hmm, what about this then?'
Creation Point - Attribute for the creation of magic and skills for the host to survive and complete quest.
'How do I level up though?'
Do you want to use the upgrade point to upgrade your system?
'Yes please.'
Please wait a while as the system is upgrading.
Connor doesn't mind waiting. He needs to wait six months before he could proceed with his next life.
It didn't take long before a new notification window appears before him.
Congratulations for reaching level 2 You have unlocked a few functions.

Staring blankly at Ava, Connor realizes that even though he occupies himself to the young lady before him, he could, however, move about but incapable of going further than 10 meters from the lady.
Thinking about his whole situation, Connor couldn't help but break into a slight grin. He felt as if he is a ghost hunting the woman. One problem persists, he doesn't know how to communicate with the lady. On one side, he felt that he should continue staying this way till the world war II starts or listen to the young lady story and empathize with her.
Ava went inside her house and immediately asked permission to meet up with her father. She manages to calm herself down after suddenly hearing voices and window that came up from nowhere.
'I wouldn't want these pesky servants to call me mental next. I might get sent to the mental asylum.'
"I am sorry, the master himself has declined your request." The butler replied while giving her a slight bow.
"Is that so, I will take my leave then. Apologies for the sudden abrupt of my presence." Ava expression didn't change and even let out a smile while replying to the butler.
'You didn't even meet up with my father, liar.' Ava silently revoked within her heart as she slowly walks towards her room.
A couple of days pass, Connor didn't attempt to make an effort of talking to the lady Ava that he is currently possessing. Ava Philip, as what he comes to know after hearing the servants called her to be.
Weirdly enough, Ava is bullied by her very own servants. Connor didn't expect to find the eldest daughter in the family to be hated, and unusual enough Ava didn't retaliate.
"Milady, lunch has been served, I will place the food outside the door as usual."
The bitch, as what Ava called her to be. She is the maid that titled as Ava personal maid but often disappear when she is not in need. Passing through the door conveniently, Connor sees the actions taking in place outside the door.
The maid spits her saliva on the food and writes words on the plate using a bottle of chili sauce. The maid then stands and walk away without caring whether her Milady gets the food or not.
'What is that suppose to mean? If Ava is not here, won't she be unemployed? If I'm not wrong, being employed by her father that is accounted as one of the powerful people in the kingdom, she should be proud of it.'
Turning to look at Ava, she continues reading her book without caring much about what is happening outside. Connor believes that Ava knows about the maid doing and she always goes to the kitchen herself if she intends to have her meal.
"Ava? Are you there?" A young man wearing a formal coat and black shoe start calling out for Ava outside her room.
'The next suspicious person would be her brother. Thomas Philip.'
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Black short hair with blue eyes. If two of them were to go out, no one would guess that they are half-siblings as Thomas distinct features mostly gotten from his mother while Ava gets hers from her mother.
"Brother? You're back!"
Ava immediately closes the book. Her previous demeanor diminishes including her cold personality. Ava skips to the entrance and opens the door without hesitation.
Seeing her younger brother standing in front of her, Ava gave the brightest smile and proceeded to invite her brother into her room.
"Brother, did you manage to persuade father to halt the marriage?"
Thomas gives Ava a concerned look as he slowly shook his head.
"Forgive me, sister, give me more time, I believe I am getting there, but sis, do you dislike Sir Nigel?"
"What is there to like or dislike? Will father change his mind of destroying Nigel and his family at the cost of my feelings?"
Thomas expression change of relief in a split of a second stun Connor but Ava didn't catch it as she is looking down on the floor.
"Be brave Ava, my sister. I know you can prevail with this minor obstacle and be back with our family before you know it."
"Thank you brother, I know you are trying your best, our father is a stubborn man indeed."
"Don't mind about me, sister, you need to take care more about yourself. The servants were talking about you once more, and brother Chris is getting offended. I must be off now. Father is expecting me, and no sister, I can't afford to bring you there, it might make your situation more dire as it is."
"... I understand."
"I take my leave then. Good night."
"Good night brother."
Connor followed Thomas out of Ava room and noticed Thomas stood by the closed door clenches his fist strong enough that trails of blood pour down from his hand to the carpet floor.
Connor couldn't stop his surprise as Thomas seems to have no change in his expression.
"I'm sorry Ava. I'm truly am." Thomas says this words as he turns to look back at Ava closed door and slowly proceed to his father room.
'What is that suppose to mean?' No matter how much he has seen these sibling converse, he isn't exactly sure whether Thomas is trying to help or the bad one.
Ava slowly walks to her previous spot and opens her book, but this time she turns to the scenery outside and sighs to herself.
'I still do not understand how does this world works and how do most people have the ability to use fire?'
Connor manages to catch a glimpse of the cooks and servants in the household using magic to produce fire and clean the house, but he had never seen Ava uses it.
Sudden remembrance of the new function that Connor had just received not too long ago made him curious. He proceeds to try it out.
'Create quest, burn the curtains using fire magic.'
Your request has been rejected as host is unable to complete an impossible quest.
'She's unable to use fire magic or unable to use all magic? Now I get it though. This quest creation saves me big time.'
'Create quest, murder Chris Philip.'
Your request has been rejected as it doesn't pose any beneficial value for the host to complete the quest.
'But he is the bad guy isn't he?'
Silence prevails once more as no one answers him.
'Fine, let's see Ava status shall we?'
Opening Ava Philip Status...
Name: Ava Philip Age: 16 Spirits contracted: Nil Status: Occupied by 001
Strength: 4 Intelligence: 14 Agility: 3 Endurance: 19
Average norm is 10
Skill: Nil Magic Skill: Nil
'What a mess up attribute she has here. She almost has double the endurance that a normal people have, no wonder she could ignore all of the pranks and insult that been hurled to her without caring. For now, I name her thee genius tanker.'
Connor started to snicker at his bad joke. Talking about boredom, Connor decided to create an opportunity for himself, forcing Ava to get out from her boring lifestyle and most importantly seeing the lady being bullied helplessly.
'Create quest, meet Nigel within 96 hours.'
Would you like to confirm the quest 'meet Nigel within 96 hours?'
'Yes please.'
Quest has been confirmed.
'Wait, won't you tell her to the quest then?'
As nobody answered him, Connor facepalms himself as he was digging his own grave by creating the quest. Now he needs to force Ava to somehow meet up with Nigel, or both of them will face a penalty. Of which that he doesn't want to know.
Connor breath out a nonexistence gas out from his mouth and starts his second conversation with the lady.
[Greeting host.]
Ava Philip immediately had a frown shown on her face and started looking around.
[Feeling helpless and loss? I may very well be your hope in making yourself stronger.]
"W-WHO! Where are you hiding!? This is not funny..." Ava quickly grabs something nearby to defend herself.
[Are you the type to behold justice and be a hero or the ones that avoid the limelight while destroying evil?]
"......" Ava seems not to be listening to Connor question as she continues to be wary of her surroundings.
[I take that as none then. Search as you may, but you will never find me. You were the one that created me in the first place, you may very well destroy me if you want to, but first, you have to take your own life.]
Connor didn't let her cautiousness disturb his ongoing acting and continues letting out some truth.
*Gasp
*Thud
Ava unconsciously released the book that she is holding to cover her mouth.
[Ava Philip, I am part of your consciousness. You have created me for the sole purpose of protecting you. Now, what say you do the things I tell you to do.]
Unexpectedly Connor cringes as he is trying his best to persuade the young lady.
"W-What do you want from me!? I am worthless in this world as no spirits would want to contact me."
'Spirits? What is she talking about? Oh god, don't tell me I broke her?'
Tears started pouring out from her eyes as she let out complaints about her life thinking that the demon resides her would let her off when it realizes that Ava holds no such power.
"......Is... Is it gone?"
Talking to herself, Ava continues to wait, but after a while, she let out a sigh of relief, upon after couldn't help but become embarrassed of herself. She didn't think that she would readily reveal her weakness to save herself.
After wiping her tears away, Ava changed her clothes and proceeded to rest in her bed.
Meanwhile, Connor is down laughing away as he didn't expect things would turn out differently than what he vision.
