[Confirmed]
A different, more humane voice woke me up—
…but it was the system.
[System Notification]
[Mass Transmigration Protocol has been successfully commenced]
[All transmigrators' systems have now been activated]

[User, you have received a package]
Ting.
[A package has been received]
"…Ugh. What's with this noise so early in the morning…?"
"Hm? Awake?" Ray asked.
"Yeah…" I muttered, rubbing my eyes.
"Can you explain what just happened?"
"Our system got upgraded," Ray replied.
"And we received a package."
"Upgrade? Package?"
"Yeah. Our system is now the same as in the novel. Before, we had a beginner system—now it's the standard one."
"…What's this then?"
I glanced into my storage.
"A gift, you could say," Ray said.
"I can't check it myself, so hurry up and open it. I'm curious."
"…I'm tired…" I yawned.
"…Ugh, whatever."
Ting.
[Package Extracted]

"…Hm. These?"
"Didn't the other transmigrators get the same thing?" Ray asked.
"…Yeah," I said, slightly dejected.
"I thought the system would spoil me a little…"
"…Considering it has such high expectations for me."
"Aren't you going to use the vouchers?" Ray asked.
"…Later," I replied. "I'm too sleepy right now."
"They must've fried your brain yesterday," Ray laughed.
"You even had a headache from Internal Mana Interference."
"…Shut it."
Scene Change…
"I don't know you… who are you…"
A hooded figure—
draped in white—
stood atop a mansion in a desert city.
"You say my name like it still rings true…"
Below—
an unconscious boy lay still.
"Your face… a mirror I cannot trace…"
The figure continued singing—
unbothered.
Then—
another voice echoed from behind.
"In this void, I see no familiar face…
…Isn't that right?
…It's time to end this little singing game of yours."
The hooded figure paused—
slightly surprised—
but quickly composed themselves.
"…What do you want?"
"What are you doing with these kids? ( the voice replied calmly.)
Or should I say… strangers from another world?"
"…Just observing them.
None of your business.
…Besides—what are you doing with that kid?
Why are you manipulating him?"
"Hm… I'm just playing with him. Don't worry."
"…Playing?
I recall that most people you 'play' with end up crippled.
Planning to ruin him for life too?"
"…No, I'm not. Ugh—you're impossible."
The hooded figure turned—
facing the newcomer directly.
"…Hm?
A new vessel?
…This girl is going to be crippled, you know."
"How rude, (the other voice scoffed.)
She was already dead when I possessed her.
"…Did you come here just to argue?"
"Yeah (she smirked.)
I came to ruin your mood.
…It looks like you've taken interest in the youngest one."
…
"…The world is beginning to turn,( the hooded figure said quietly.)
This moment of peace won't last long."
"…Looks like Regra is speeding things up too."
"And you aren't? (He replied.)
Don't shift the blame."
"…Hehe. Are you angry?"
"…No.
Judgment should fall on all."
The scene slowly faded—
into darkness.
