Finally, after sending a text message to his two companions, Yumi, Vili used teleportation magic and returned to the Strange Tales Academy in the blink of an eye.

Upon landing, the surrounding scene seemed familiar. The boy almost instinctively took two steps back, his gaze fixed on the corner, frozen like a wary cat.

Only after confirming that no more of that orange-haired beast would suddenly appear did he finally breathe a sigh of relief and quickly step into the area with the camera.

After staying up all night, the familiar scenery and environment of the campus flashed by, and all the fatigue in his body seemed to rush up at once. Willie couldn't help but cover his mouth and yawn.

However, just as he was about to reach the dormitory, he suddenly heard a crackling sound of electricity in his ear, as if he had been transported to another world.

Willy slowed his pace, a smile unconsciously appearing on his lips.

He didn't speak first; a few seconds later, a familiar, lively voice rang out:

"Host! I'm back!"

Vili felt a pang of nostalgia for the plush animal figures from the previous two worlds of the system. His fingers twitched slightly, his mood was pleasant, but his expression remained impassive.

"Um."

He responded with a sound of agreement, then softened his tone the next second.

"Il, welcome back."

"You slept for quite a long time."

The system was about to say something, but its attention was diverted by the content of Vili's words, and it blankly said:

Has it been a long time?

"Has the consciousness of this world already been here? Are we about to prepare for another new world?"

"...It won't be that fast."

A series of questions caught Vili off guard, but they completely dispelled any slight awkwardness that had arisen from not seeing each other for so long.

His tone was light, tinged with frustration: "I was planning to take a good rest in this world, and I didn't even bother to find out about the main god's nonsense, so why do you still think I would offend the world's consciousness?"

In the first two worlds, he strolled leisurely at his own pace, while the other party would always blindly come up to him, and he would then deal with them casually.

And in this world, so much time has passed, yet he has never heard of anything related to the name of the main god, except for being constantly entangled with strange men...

ah.

Come to think of it, those three are the main characters of this world... I mean...

Vili: ...

Hopefully, something like this won't happen again—the protagonist leaves this world, then runs away too, causing the world to collapse...

Ha ha……

Seeing that Vili was gradually losing his color, the system wisely changed the subject.

"Host! You have no idea what I've been through these past few days!"

Vili forced himself to stay alert and asked, "Didn't you go to upgrade?"

"Yes, yes! But this upgrade was completely unexpected... so I didn't even have time to tell you."

The system's voice sounded a little embarrassed, but it didn't need Vili's comforting words; it adjusted its mood on its own and its tone became high-pitched again.

"After I woke up, I suddenly received a notification from the main system that all advanced systems needed to attend a meeting."

"Then I realized that my level had actually increased to advanced!"

"I was originally a low-level system that had just come out of the factory, and I thought this upgrade would at most be to the mid-level, but I didn't expect..."

"hey-hey……"

The system couldn't help but chuckle happily twice.

Vili guessed that this was probably a sign of increased strength, just like their advancement as mages. Therefore, he tolerantly didn't say anything more.

"My upgrade speed was a bit too fast, but because you, host, helped to unilaterally block the monitoring from the main god, no one noticed anything unusual!"

If the virtual Shiba Inu image were here, it would probably be wagging its tail at Willy right now.

"The first thing I did after I woke up was to disguise the system log process records, hide the previous tasks, and fabricate several more world experiences to clearly write down my upgrade trajectory."

The system said smugly, then let out a sigh of relief, still somewhat shaken.

"After that, I went to attend a meeting of the advanced systems. When I got there, I found that the main system was checking the work logs one by one. Luckily, I had prepared in advance, and it didn't find anything."

Upon hearing this, Vili raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke thoughtfully:

What was the agenda for the meeting?

The system seemed to swallow hard.

"This is the key point I want to make to you, host."

"—The Supreme God has already detected the traitor."

"...For our system, it is actually quite common for the host to fail a task. We will use methods such as electric shocks to urge the host to complete the task, but some task takers are simply not capable enough, or they simply slack off, which will lead to the failure of the task."

"If there are too many failures, we will eliminate the host to prevent it from revealing everything, and the system will also be punished."

Erasure... This is the first time I've heard this term.

Vili showed no sense of crisis whatsoever, and even asked with a hint of curiosity, "You once said that the ultimate reward for the mission is to fulfill the host's wish. Has anyone actually succeeded?"

The system remained silent for a moment.

It still remembered that when it first bound itself to its host, the other party had questioned the authenticity of this claim, and at that time, it had scoffed at it.

But now...

It finally hesitated before speaking:

"……I have no idea."

"I heard from those predecessors that when that time comes, they will break the bond with the host, and then the host will have a private conversation with the main god."
