Disappointment washed over Stelle once she heard the female voices' words, she knew she could do nothing but wait, for it seems like this type of system was truly game-like, always swarming with updates.
To her surprise, it didn't even take 5 minutes for the female android-voice to speak again: [System update: complete %100. opening system~~~]

'Is it broken?' Stelle wondered with confusion.
ROAR~~~~
Both mother and son duo flinched in shock, Iioshi looked at her with teary eyes and said nothing, an indication expressing terror to the point of wetting himself-wait, huh?
A frown immediately formed once she focused on his pants, she said in a scolding manner, ignoring the loud roar from earlier because of one reason, the roar was distant, it was far for the time being: "Iioshi, did you wet yourself? how many times had I told you to stop such a bad and disgusting habit"
Her words seemed have hit him hard inside, and well, she was obviously able to see that, so she sighed and said in a low and gentle voice: "I've phrased it a bit wrong, I don't mean that you are the one disgusting here, I'm saying that that habit is the disgusting one, so Iioshi, please don't do this again, okay?"
He weakly nodded his head; and she was about to sigh if not for a sense of danger suddenly creeping up to her, causing her to bite her lips as she surveyed the area with a frown, expecting to find the cause of the previous loud roar, except, she found nothing, just insects, many actually, everything was quiet, the only sound she could hear was the sound of her breathing, that was until an unexpected cold android-voice rang loud in her ears, causing her to jump in shock and surprise.
[Updating system: complete %100. Opening system~~~]
'Oh dear! this little-' Stelle deeply frowned at the unintentional jumpscare, she really wanted to look forward to the system, but she felt really unsafe and uncomfortable, like there's a being wanting to eat her flesh.
[Welcome, system 9349 greets you, one who awakened. This is a personal-sub system only you can view, well, unless you give access to a chosen one to view thee. This system shall guide you through the 'getting strong' program. ERROR-ERROR. It seems an error occurred. This personal system shall skip all means of entry and show you your stats, please wait a minute...]

Stelle kept Iioshi closely to her, standing with an iffy feeling, ignoring all her pains and was ready to pick up her son and run for their life at any moment in-case any type of monster appear.
'What's wrong with this thing? is it broken?' She wondered with a frown.

Stelle examined her statues with extreme focus, feeling kinds of disappointed for no particular reason, while she was intensely scanning the written on the window, her eyes landed on unexpected titles.
'Most of the time, people can view the reason they earned a title, or things related to that, so I'm sure I'll be able to do so myself' She thought before intensely focusing on the titles, wanting them to show a description of any sorts, and to her surprise, two smaller sized windows appeared beneath the titles almost immediately, which was an easier process than she thought it would be.
'That was easier than I thought' She thought before starting to read each description.
[Awakener: Awakening to such a vivid 'dream' sure is hard, but remember, this is no dream, this is the reality you know of]
[Chosen one: As someone who was selected by the system, you should be grateful.]
Stelle wondered what meaning the first title meant, but had no time to think as an unexpected company joined them, causing her to drag her son behind the enormous tree she slammed on to earlier with fear and a shaky body at what she saw, ignoring all of the pain her body had been screaming of.
Two monsters were fighting, one was a big octopus and alien-like slippery creature with many slippery legs and no face, just a big and disgusting mouth with shark, sharp teeth, the second was a big, dark green snake with thick scales and red, bloody and deadly eyes.
She covered her son's mouth and desired to cover hers too, but she had no more available arms to use, she heard noises of those ugly creatures fight and was frozen in place, she wanted to take a peak but was too scared to do so, she looked at Iioshi-who was hugging her with dear life, wanting to burst out in tears- then summed up some courage as she made a quike, almost suicide-like plan, she took a peak at the monsters and saw a bloody fight that made her want to puke, she looked back at her son after confirming what she wanted, then firmly grabbed his arm and made an attempt to sneak away from the area, the monsters were a bit far, so she knew they had a chance of making it out of there arena.
To her surprise, they were actually getting away, and after a while, they could no longer hear the sounds of the gorish fight, she was really tired and pained, her arm was broken and she kept moving too much, along with the fact that Iioshi could no longer walk, so she decided it was time to take a small break, so they sat under a tree they'd chosen from the many trees in the vast forest, she heard the weak and shaky voice of her son: "M-mom, where are we...?"
She felt her face heating up and immediately hugged him as tears started drifting out of both their eyes, they both wanted to cry out loud, but could do nothing but conceal there hiccings.
Stelle always thought that being in a fantasy with many monsters was cool, the idea of fighting and leveling up rang like twinkles in her mind, elfs and titans, goblins and dragons, all kinds of fantasy related creatures, they were all things she wanted to meet and see for the least bit, once in her life, it was a dream she now thinks is the most useless, she regretted feeling excited earlier, for such a world is no dream come true, she knew that from before, she just never figured the severity of it, and now, she's stuck in such a place with no-other than a kid, Iioshi, her child.
