In Akares Star, within the Valroy family's mansion, Randolf sat inside his private room with a frown clearly visible on his face. He leaned back on the sofa while staring at the system screen floating before him.
The screen looked unstable. At times, it blurred and flickered, showing error messages before returning to normal again.
Recently, those errors had become far more frequent, to the point that he had almost grown used to living without the system.
That realization irritated him.
After living without the system for some time, his confidence had begun to waver. He had long relied on it to make his life easier and to grow stronger. Now that something had clearly gone wrong, unease naturally crept into his heart.
The problem had started eight months ago.
At that time, he suddenly sensed a change within his system. It felt as though the connection with his system had weakened, as if something was interfering with it. Since then, many of its functions had become unusable.
