<4 days later>

After falling through the darkness for what felt like an eternity, I finally regained control of my physical body. Opening my eyes, I witnessed the blue sky of the training ground, which I never knew I would be grateful for.

"F-." Trying to speak, I found my throat too dry to speak. However, that little sound was enough to get Tyso's attention.

"Shaman! You're awake." Quickly rushing to my side, the half-demon monkey helped me sit up. Once I was straight, he quickly brought a cup of water to my mouth. I gulped the water down as fast as I could, desperate for more.

"Don't worry, I have brought plenty of refreshments, now keep drinking until you are hydrated." Tyso kept pulling out bottles of water for me to drink as well as some food for when I was ready to eat.

After downing at least 10 bottles of water, my stomach started grumbling like crazy, the smell of food making my brain realise how hungry I am. There was an assortment of fruit, some sweets, and best of all, a plate of steak. The piece was huge, and I felt my newly hydrated self already drooling.

"Go head, but try not to choke."

Hearing the go-ahead from Tyso, I couldn't control myself any longer and began devouring the steak first. It probably wasn't a pleasant sight for him, but I didn't care how I looked, I just needed to eat.

<10 minutes later>

"Oh, that was amazing." I laid back on the ground, feeling full and satisfied.

"Good! Seeing as you are back to normal, I would like you to explain… some things." I looked at Tyso, wondering what he meant, but then I realised my clothes stayed the same from when I was inside my soul.

'Wait, how much stronger did I become?' It was a long shot, but I was so strong in my own soul that it felt like something only a tier 10 should be able to achieve.

[Shaman Shiroi (Admin)]

[Race: Kitsune]

[Level: 380 (actual level: 1000)]

[Conduit of the time goddess Akrone]

Blessed by the goddess' power, allowing you to ascend to the next realm. If the user receives this item before achieving tier 10, boost level and all stats to the max. WARNING! If the user's level is not tier 10, there is a 99% chance of death.

Opening up the system menu, I was in shock upon seeing my new title, as well as the fact that admin appeared next to my name.

'Rea? Are you there?' I wanted answers, but there was no response, I couldn't even feel her presence.

'Hmm, this is very odd. Could I have taken over the system, and that's why I can no longer speak with Rea? There was a highly likely chance this was the case since now I was apparently an admin. However, that was still the least of my concerns, I needed to figure out if I really just skipped hundreds of levels.

"Shaman?" Tyso spoke up as I stayed silent looking at what likely seemed to be air to him. I probably shouldn't keep him waiting too much longer.

"Sorry, can you give me some time to think? I'm trying to figure out what happened myself." I hoped Tyso wasn't in a rush, as I really needed to sort out my thoughts.

"That's fine, take as long as you need." Tyso sat back, giving me some space, which was a relief.

"Thanks." Having one worry out of the way, I looked back to the system menu, trying to see if there was a deeper explanation of this conduit. It was from a god I have never heard of, but the fact that it is giving me such a boost, or so I gathered, likely meant it was that same god who gave me the blessing.

'I won't get any answers about who she is, but what is this little eye icon under the description?' Spotting an eye with a line running through it, I pressed it, and some greyed-out text appeared.

[Hey my dear Shaman~ you don't know me, but it's me, the kitsune of time, Akrone, and the god that has been watching over your journey. I hope this message finds you well and that the conduit isn't causing you any trouble. Now you are probably wondering, What the hell is going on? I just went from level 300 to level 1000. How is that even possible? Well, I'm glad you asked, because you are still at the same level you were before.]

'How the hell does that make sense?' I stopped reading for a moment and rubbed my head, trying to make sense of the situation. I felt like I was missing so much context on what the conduit is and why the hell I have it. I was worried I wouldn't be getting proper answers anytime soon, but luckily it seems there was still more for the goddess to tell me.

[I know it doesn't make sense, but in order for you to not die and literally combust on the spot, I've limited its effects. It will slowly develop as you get stronger while growing your skills and elements. There should no longer be a need to assign points, as the conduit will be responsible for it. Another consequence or reward of this is that you may have unlocked your soul form, so use it how you see fit.]

'That explains the clothes, but why do I have the conduit in the first place? It feels almost like cheating, I mean, the system is a cheat in itself, but now I'm just given strength.'

[It's not cheating.]

'IS THIS REALLY A MESSAGE OR AM I TALKING TO AKRONE!?!?!' Either the message knew exactly how my thoughts would go, or I was in reality conversing with God.

[Oop, looks like I have been found out. Jokes aside, I am the goddess of time. So I already knew you would respond like this teehee~.]

I couldn't believe it, it was a real-to-life goddess of time, and she literally saw the future of this conversation and made it seem like we were actually talking?!

[Ahem, anyway, I can't tell you why you have the conduit, but trust me, you will need it to defeat the Pope and save your parents. I recommend going through those memories as some allies may no longer appear so friendly anymore.]

[One last thing, the system should be partially under your control. Now, whatever you do, do not let Rea take back control. I know she has been your mental companion, but she isn't what she seems. You'll find out in due time, but for now, do not trust anything that seems like a godly presence. This also applies to me, I wouldn't trust me either, but as long as you continue to provide me with a good show, I will help you out.]

[Now farewell, my little fox, I can't wait to meet you. Love from your kitsune Akrone~ <3]

I sat there, digesting everything that I just read, which was almost too much for me to comprehend. I felt overwhelmed by all the information that was swirling inside my head.

'Urghh, what do I make of this? Why dump all of this on me now? I have to go through memories, deal with this conduit, avoid trusting Rea, and the gods are out to get me in some way. What fucked-up situation is this?' I needed a break, my mind was spiralling, and I just needed some time to breathe.

An invisible pressure was crushing me, and I needed to know what it was. I felt the weight of the world would crush me if I didn't understand what was going on.

"H-hey, Tyso, is it alright if we talk later… I-I just can't right now, I need some more time." I didn't know if I was allowed to leave without giving any explanation, but I guess that would establish whether Tyso trusts me or not.

"I understand."

"I appreciate it, can you show me to my room? If it's not too much to ask, can you get Elysia and Clara? I would like to see them." Feeling relieved that Tyso was willing to wait for some explanation. He gave an approving nod and stood up from where he sat. Offering up his hand to help me up, I took it and followed him out of the training room. 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Going through the hall and up some stairs, we reached a hallway full of doors, all containing the different rooms of all the people who worked and trained here.

"Here, I'll pick you up tomorrow." Tyso gestured to a door before disappearing, not giving me any room to interject.

Opening up the door, I was greeted with a regular bedroom, but what caught me by surprise was that Elysia and Clara were already there.

"Shaman!" In unison, they yelled my name while running towards me. They then both jumped into my arms, giving me a hug.

"Hey, Elysia and Clara, it's great to see you again." For some reason, I felt like crying, but I didn't care, I just wanted to enjoy this time I get to spend with them and forget about my worries. Even if it was brief, it was what I needed right now.
