How did I end up like this, uh? I was trapped inside a giant toad's stomach while slowly losing myself away because it was almost impossible to breathe in there. What could I have done differently? I don't know! My sword didn't even scratch the things! That's not fair!
Not to mention that the dumb Toad that's currently hosting me inside their tummy appeared out of nowhere! I only have two eyes, you know!? I can't do it all at once. I'm not a god, albeit that would be cool. I want to, at the very least, cause as much trouble as I can to this stupid Toad, which is why I begin hitting its insides with my knife.
"AHHHH! AHHH! I will cause you stomach ulcers if you don't spit me out right now! AUGHH! AHHHGG!" Those are the words that come out of me as I violently stab the Toad's insides with my small pocket dagger with all my might, but it hardly seems to do anything.
"Damn it! Just what are you made of, froggy!? EVEN YOUR INSIDES ARE TOUGH!" A small grunt of pain leaves my body as the Toad contracts its muscles, crushing me even harder than before. Soon, I begin to feel bad news beneath me as I look down just to see stomach acid slowly crawling up from the bottom. "EK!"
What do I do!? What can I do now!? The damn Toad is planning to digest me soon, and I seriously don't want to end up like frog shit, you know? Come on, me, think, just think! What would he do in a situation like this? I don't know! I'm starting to panic!
As my thoughts fly by at the speed of light one after another, they all point back to my magical power. If it's true that I'm supposed to be strong and also a saint shouldn't I have some way to get out! COME ON TITLES! DO SOMETHING! [No response]

[Alternative found, do you wish to let the system take over you to escape from your current problem? (YES/NO) Risks of possession by the system include but are not limited to {Temporary memory loss}{Unknown side effects}]
Do whatever you must, mysterious voice in my head! I let you take over if that means I get to be free! Please! [Understood] [Preparing sage temporary body take over to escape from Toad's insides]
Soon I begin to feel strange and not only because I'm covered in Toad Jizz but because of the "preparations." My body feels weaker, and my state of mind changes from a very stressed phase to an extremely relaxed state as I slowly drift away like I'm now just an expectation, not the wielder of my body.
[Preparation ready, now taking over]

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Out of nowhere, the pendant around my neck turns from a deep dark to a deep blue color, signifying the takeover by the world system. My pupils also change color from their usual brown to blue, pushing me further away from myself. I don't know how to explain the feeling, but it's like I'm there and not at the same time.
I don't know what the system is doing, but I can feel how the Toad suddenly begins to shake violently as a mysterious dark aura covers my vision. I can hear the flow of something like water being released all at once, like when you open the gates of a large dam to prevent considerable flooding.
My senses are heightened, as well as my physical strenght, followed by a chaotic clash of mana between the Toad's and mine, but it only lasts for a couple of seconds as the system soon blows away the Toad with a single attack. The Toad's insides soon burst open all over the ground, surprising both Vera and Dustin.
"It's that oppressive aura again, but it feels off." What did Veronica mean by that? I've just used whatever means I had to escape. I feel entirely normal, is what I think before my hand slowly begins to point toward my best friend without me being able to stop it.
Uh?! Wait! She's not an enemy. What are you doing? UUUGHH!! "I don't know what's wrong with you, Yoimiya, but if I have to beat up some sense into you, I will! ALL ENCOMPASSING MANA!" Veronica, don't! You stand no chance against this power. I can feel it easily crushing yours like a bit of ant! STOP IT!
"I guess we gotta beat up the kiddo to a pulp so she returns; seems easy enough! Airstrike shield! SECOND SHIELD!" Dusting proclaims as two golden transparent shields appear before them, pointing directly against my hand, which begins to charge a powerful spell that I can't stop.
{Minute 2:20}
System, stop it already! Those are my friends, not enemies! UUUGHHH! I try my hardest to take over my body, but I can't, causing my hand to release whatever spell it was charging previously, quickly passing right through both translucent shields.
"What the?! UGHH! DUCK!" {LOUD DISTANT BANG} One of the flashiest yet deadly things I've ever seen soon leaves my right hand and goes flying by, highly close to my friends, who managed to move out of the way just in time.
The fast reaction of my friends allows the attack to pass right next to them until it crashes against the tree line, immediately creating a massive explosion of darkness. The explosion soon makes a deafening sound that shakes the entire continent with ease, probably letting everyone nearby know something went wrong with 'Vera's training.'
"Impossible! This kiddo is not a joke. That was a grade-6 spell! Only large groups of coordinated people can use such a thing. This is not a joke. Vera! How do you usually deal with her in this state!?" Dustin asks Vera, who looks extremely concerned and has evident fear in her eyes.
"This is the first time I've seen her like this, too. Usually, whenever she taps into her power, she just does it for a short period before forgetting how she did it. Her eyes and her aura are different this time, though this might be lethal. Call for help, Dustin. I've got her until you bring back help!"
Vera says her words like it would be simple or easy to fight me, but she doesn't understand or see what I can see through the eyes of the system. I can read her magical power level as well as read my own, and I can just tell she stands no chance if the system wants her dead.
Luckily for both Vera and Dustin, my body also turns toward the charging frogs, buying both plenty of time to agree to a plan leading to Dustin's departure. I can feel everything and see everything clearly while my hands blow the Toads away into a million pieces with a single punch every time.
