[You have exchanged 800.000 EXP!]
[You have created a [System Seed]!]
A System Seed quickly appeared above my hands, which Alice created on the spot. Aquarina was surprised at first of me revealing this power and wanting to share with her, and that was to be expected.
"You already know this world is dangerous… We've went through so many things already, and there might be so many more to come as we grow older." I sighed. "So that's why I want to give you a power that could help you grow stronger faster too. It's not like I am looking down on your own strength or anything, you could consider this power as another type of "equipment" something you can equip to strengthen yourself even more."
"Sylphy…" Aquarina seemed slightly moved. "A-Are you sure about this? Won't it tire you out to power or something?"
"Not really, I've shared it already with all my familiars and spirits, the reason they can grow strong and evolve quickly is thanks to them." I smiled.
"Wow…" Aquarina wasn't afraid or something, but she did seemed a bit worried. "I… Okay!"
However, at the end, she accepted the gift rather quickly.
"Here, take it." I said. "Alice, can you help her absorb it?"
"Sure thing." Alice appeared at our side.
"A-Alice? Your light spirit?" Aquarina wondered.
"She's actually a special spirit, more than just a light spirit, she's the System itself, and she's connected to these powers, she's… well, she's fused with my own soul." I explained. "Since I was born that I've had her within my soul. We've been friends since then- no, family."
"It is nice to greet you this way, Aquarina." Said Alice. "You don't have to worry about a single thing, this process will be swift, we've tested it before, and it won't cause any damage. Though the input of power might cause a bit of a headache."
"I-I see…" Aquarina was slightly overwhelmed with all the information she learned. "I'll make sure to keep this secret to myself, I won't tell anybody about this unless you ask me to, Sylphy."
"Thank you, I knew I could trust you." I nodded. "Now…"
Aquarina held the System Seed as Alice helped her imbue its powers into her own body, the System Seed flew into her chest, slowly melding into her body and then, her soul.
"Ungh…!" Aquarina gritted her teeth as she felt the rush of new power reaching her body.
Countless circuits of System Energy flowed into her body, constantly transforming her very power and talents into stats and skills, and then adding even more strength on top of her base power.
A powerful Aura like I had only seen coming out of Nephilim when she acquired her System surged- no, this one might be even stronger! It felt as if Aquarina's whole power was boosted several times over.

"Woah! W-What is that thing?! Some sort of… Window thing? Huh? It looks like a book with so many letters and numbers… But it is like transparent, kind of like water, and light?" Aquarina was surprised by the System Window appearing in front of her.
"Let's see~" I said, looking at hers. "Oh, you're pretty strong right off the bat! This is your System Status, it'll show your progress in strength and also your abilities as skills, it even shows the divine protections you have."
"I-I see…" Aquarina nodded.
"Each of these are Stats, which represent a certain ability of your body, their numbers are really high, higher than any of my familiars except Nephilim, so you're amazing already, Aquarina!" I congratulated her.
"I-I… see…" Aquarina was really confused, well, every Familiar that got a System were just as confused at first. "So what does the HP and MP do?"
"HP is Health Points, it is like your own life… Simplified, the more damage you take, the lower it goes." I said. "MP is Mana Points, it is a quantitative amount of Mana into numbers you have."
"Amazing, it even can tell that?!" Aquarina was amazed. "And this… Luck? Charm?"
"Ah, that…" I ended going slowly with everything, explaining her what each Stat could do for her.
"So as of now, your Status is just the amount of power you currently have, normally, you could increase it by progressing as you've done so far, but there's now a new way additionally, to Level Up." I said. "By killing monsters, you can level up and your stats will instantly increase."
"Ohh… D-Does that means that I can grow so strong so quickly?!" She asked.
"It is not THAT quick, you'll still need to kill stronger and stronger monsters to progress so you'll eventually advance slowly after a while." I said. "Nonetheless, it's a nice bonus that will help you a lot!"
"Woah…" Aquarina still couldn't believe it. "And these Skills… How do I use them?"
"Most of them are already just your basic abilities- Though, some are unique that have developed just know thanks to Alice packing all the divine power you got from the divine protections of the gods… and making it your own strength, independent from them." I explained.
"Independent? Does this means…?!" Aquarina felt amazed.
"Yeah, it pretty much means they can no longer take away this power from us." I smiled.
