BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74 - Planet's Guardian
-----
So after we killed an army of bugs and goblins, I meet the Planet\'s Will who had somehow infused herself into a dungeon core, and within a blink of an eye, she fired at me a ray of white light, which was actually part of her power being given to me.
FLASH!
"Master!"
Kireina and everyone else rushed towards me, as I fell over the ground motionlessly. I couldn\'t move at all.
Flash!
Suddenly, another flash of white light began to take over my entire self, my body, and my soul and enhanced it.
This… what kind of power is this? She wasn\'t lying it seems, it was really the actual planet\'s will!
The power began to be infused into my very being, as I felt my stats increasing… Now, I am going to jump Existence Realms?! Wait, that would be way too much of a cheat. Where is the progression in here?!
Is this really just going to become a Hero Cliché story? Oh my god…
Ding!

Amazing! Through all of this, my system merged with the… system that Earth made? I need some explanations for this…
And it became Rank 2, unlocking four new system functions!

…
I quickly checked my stats, to be pleasantly surprised over the increase! I really did get stronger out of it, but nothing too ridiculous.
I would have liked it to be a bit more! But well, whatever. What\'s important now is the new functions!
Wait, no, I am actually still in the ground?
I quickly stand up as Kireina and Anna embrace me with a tight hug.
"I am glad you\'re okay!" said Anna.
"Master, you went down out of nowhere… Did that crystal do it?!" asked Kireina.
"Well yes but don\'t attack it- Wait, Ervas, Vudia, don\'t attack it!" I cried as the two were about to blast the crystal with magic attacks.
The crystal quickly spoke to me.
"As you can see, you are completely fine. I have not harmed you in any way, and in fact, I have given you enough power to even upgrade your System, right? This is the only power I am capable of giving you as of now, if I give you more, I will grow weaker and the world might end… Sorry," sighed the crystal.
"I see… But what exactly did you do?" I asked.
"Good question. I am the creator of the System of this world, which I took quite long to make, and it seems that your System absorbed it when I gave you the power, making you somewhat of a System Administrator, while also giving me the power to become one for your system as well. This means that I could become capable of modifying it for you and aid you better," said the crystal.
"Oh… That\'s certainly something. I had half-guessed that it was made by a strong being, but I thought it was the Great One Above All Creation," I said.
"Well, it wasn\'t. He only gave System Tickets to those he saw as promising beings… For some reason, you have been selected, within your soul, there is something unique, perhaps even before acquiring the System that made you the correct choice," said the planet\'s will.
"I see… So our planet is unique in that it has a system for its inhabitants? I have seen this in hundreds of novels…" I sighed.
"Well yes, I saw it as the most efficient way to convert the energy influx that the other dimensions began to pour here. By converting the power of the monsters you defeated into treasures and your own power, I am helping my own people survive and also defeat them. While I am also capable of absorbing part of that energy to maintain myself healthy… Although it has only been one day, millions of people had already died, so my System hasn\'t really helped that many, sadly," said the planet\'s will.
"I suppose they were not ready… Many normal people would be easily slaughtered like livestock…" I sighed.
"Indeed… And the invaders seem to have their own unique power systems to acquire power by slaughtering others, so they are fueled by the desire to kill and kill more… You\'re my only hope, Gustav… Please, help me save humanity, and the life that is still struggling here…" said the planet\'s will.
Come on, this is getting frustrating… I never thought I would end as the Hero of the story, it is really making me get angry… I just wanted to be by myself get I am given such a responsibility.
But I can\'t deny that I have this inner desire to protect the world where I was born…
"Fine, fine…" I said, touching the crystal, as a stream of info rushed into my brain.
Flash!
