Rei surprised by the sudden appearance of system windows.
They appeared to be hovered in the air before her.
"Oooo~ a nice thing to have has appeared." Rei said with excitement, thinking about possibility on how use it while tapping system windows.
|Negative, What you're thinking isn't possible at the moment.|
|I only Analyze, Process and give Information back to you.|
|It does not make you stronger Directly like what you are thinking.|
|I can also assist you in things you can already do yourself, just making it more convenient to use.|
"I see... i think i get the idea now." Rei said, somewhat disappointed after hearing it.
"But wait... are you like... sentient? self-aware? By the way you communicate with me, i feel like you are" her curiosity suddenly piqued again.
|I am unable to answer it as there's insufficient data for it.|
"Alright, good enough for me." Rei shrug, somewhat satisfy with the answer.
"Um... who are you talking to?" Luna asked, seeing Rei talking alone confused her.
"Oh you can't see this? well, i guess you can't." Rei smirked.
"Well.. System, is there a way to show her the system?"
|You can use your ability "Perception Alteration" or "Illusion" to show her the system windows.|
"Ah! i see, so to just show something that can't be seen normally you can just make it so it can be seen."
"But wait... i didn't even know what i can do or do i have necessary ability yet." Rei realized, she doesn't really know what she capable of.
|I can help you with that.|

"Oh cool, i have a lot of 'wtf is this' ability with no how to use." Rei pondered over the information displayed by the system.
"Anyways, Luna, try not to resist as much as possible."
Luna nodded, eager to know what Rei will show her.
"Ummm... how do i use it anyway?
"Ummm... this?" Rei tapping the system window, still, nothing happened.
|Suggestion: Illusionary abilities are like projecting your imagination to others, try imagine it instead of wasting time.|
A window show up in front of Rei with a Suggestion.
"Ugh, alright alright" Rei felt insulted, but still thankful for it.
Rei focused, trying to imagine about what should appear in front of Luna.
|Hello, Luna.|
"Wha— What is this?" Luna blinked in surprise, her eyes widening as she stared at the unexpected floating window that suddenly appeared before her.
Rei chuckled at Luna's reaction, "That's system or status window, whatever you call it."
"It show you what you can do in this floating flat rectangle." Rei explained
"I... see..." Luna said, tapping the system window, though her finger just went through it.
Rei smiled, "Yeah, you can't really touch it. It's just like an illusion. I can't either, it just went through."
"Um... so... how do i know what i can do with this?" Luna said confusingly as she only see Hello window.

"Oh um... this is very useful"
"But what are these (???)" Luna asked
|Insufficient data|
"I see..." Luna continued to examine the information on the system window, her curiosity evident in her eyes.
Rei, interpreting Luna's confusion, chimed in, "Those question marks usually represent abilities that we haven't figured out or haven't been revealed yet. It seems like you have to figure out on your own."
Luna nodded, still absorbing the newfound knowledge. "So, this thing is like our magical guide?"
"I guess?" Rei shrugged.
"It's more like an assistant. It doesn't make you stronger directly, but it processes information and provides insights."
Luna tilted her head, processing the information.
"Alright, so it helps us understand ourselves and our abilities better. Got it."
"Well.. you could think like that, yeah"
"Also, System, how do i close it?" Rei questioned.
|You can just imagine closing it or imagine it to disappear|
"Oh? you don't have to interact with it? Fancy stuff" Rei said with a smirk after the system window disappeared.
Luna, intrigued by the interaction between Rei and the mysterious system, attempted to follow suit.
"Okay, let's see..." Luna closed her eyes, envisioning the system window dissipating.
To her surprise, it worked. The window faded away as if it was never there.
"Wow! That's convenient," Luna exclaimed, opening her eyes to find the system window gone.
Rei chuckled, "Told you it's fancy."
"But why she can do it thought? since it just an illusion, not really a real one."
|Negative, I have connected her to the system when i took control over your ability so she can also use the system too now|
"Ohhh so we're like in a party, like those video games now?" Rei said with excitement.
|You could think of it like that|
Luna, still processing the newfound information, couldn't help but smile at the idea of this magical partnership.
"It's like having a magical companion. That's so cool!"
Rei grinned, "I know, Right?"
"Oh right, i'm curious. System, how did you get created?" Rei asked out of curiosity.
|Request Confirmed--- Analyzing... Completed..|
|I have been created by combining your abilities into one to function the system|
|With Combination of Perception Alteration, Enhanced Senses, Analyze, Infinity, Magic Manipulation, (???) and more, i was created|
"What happen if one of the ability are missing or deleted?"
|I can still function, though, i cannot use the part of that missing/deleted ability anymore|
"I see.. it's better than i expected. I thought you might just break down or something." Rei said, while placing the core down.
Luna, joining the conversation, added, "So, you're like a patchwork of Rei's abilities working together?"
|You could say that|
"Having fun?" Azure interrupted, having returned to the pond.
"I think you guys already forgot about me."
Rei and Luna exchanged glances, realizing they had momentarily forgotten about Azure.
"Sorry about that, I just got a new toy, so I am very excited about it." Rei apologized.
Azure tilted his body a little, seemingly understanding.
"Well, it's alright. I know how it feels. When I get a new toy, I also get very excited about it too."
"Oh i see..." Rei finds Azure interesting.
"Anyways, you found what you searching for, right? Now, what are you going to do next?"
"Hmm...." Rei think for a moment.
"I never ask you before but... what forest is this?"
Azure's translucent body rippled with a soft glow as he tilted his body left and right.
"I am not sure myself since i been here for a very long time, but i know for sure that this forest is dangerous for a normal human,"
"And the fact that you led her here without getting into any trouble or getting eaten means you aren't ordinary either."
"Seems like it." Rei acknowledged Azure's words with a thoughtful nod.
"Well, Luna, it seems we stumbled into a rather peculiar place," Rei said, looking at Luna with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
Luna nodded, her eyes wide with both wonder and a tinge of anxiety.
Rei couldn't help but notice Luna's attire, now elegantly adorned with a black and crimson dress with moon-shaped decorations.
Rei grinned, unable to resist a compliment.
"By the way, Luna, Now that i can really looked at your outfit, it really suits you." Rei remarked, appreciating the transformation.
Luna blushed, a mixture of surprise and gratitude in her expression.
"Th-thank you, but i'm not used to such clothes yet."
As they exchanging a few more words, In the darkness of the night forest, resembling the abyss.
A mysterious and thunderous growl can be heard in the distant, it echoed through the forest which now engulfed in darkness.
The once lively nocturnal symphony of the woods suddenly fell into an eerie silence as if they trying to avoid getting its attention.
