Bullshit Dimensional System (Anime Fanfic)

Chapter 55: Helltaker

"... I'm alive?"

Hiroto muttered with a dazed expression on his face while staring at the familiar ceiling of his mansion. Making his body relax as he could guess that the fight was over.

[You've finally opened your eyes, Host]

The system greeted as Hiroto slowly rose his body and sat down on the bed. Leaning his back against the headboard of the bed.

"... system... what happened when I passed out?"

Hiroto asked in a weak voice while looking at his bandaged arm and chest. Tightly wrapping around his wounds to apply enough pressure to restrict his movements and prevent him from further injuring his body.

[We took control of your body and used the remaining stamina that you have to subjugate the stray]

"..."

Hiroto remained silent as he touched the bandage on his head. Making him let out a deep sigh while looking at his body, causing the system to silently observe its host.

"... System... Am I that weak?"

Hiroto asked as a suffocating atmosphere spread throughout the room. Making the system momentarily remain silent before answering his question.

[You have already witnessed yourself, but it is not that you're weak since your current body and skills far surpasses many of the Tier I system holders]

"... I almost got killed"

[That is because you lack the experience, training, and technique to properly wield this strength of yours, host]

[You only have the materials that you need, but you have no plan nor idea on how to use those materials to build the foundations or the entirety of the building. System holders have the power to stand on their own grounds unlike the virtual monsters and undead that you have fought in your past two quests]

The system answered, causing Hiroto to silently stare at the system with a frustrated expression of his face.

[System holders will exploit any weaknesses or openings that you show them during combat, and many of your decision in the past battle played a large role in your defeat]

[You charged recklessly to save the woman that the stray held captive. This lead to you revealing many of your cards]

[You have given him a hint that your power mainly relied on magic because of your lack of skills and experience in close quarter combat. Your sluggish moves when you attacked him showed that you have no prior training in that field. That's why he took advantage of that and prevented you from finishing any incantations by launching relentless attacks]

[He didn't allow you to create distance between the two of you as he knew that the moment that this happens. His probability of surviving would significantly decrease if you can cast any kind of spell at a far distance]

[You are not weak, host. Its just that all your knowledge about combat came from games, and the only thing that you learned from your previous quest is to restrain your sympathy, and gave you the sense of thrill when in combat. That's it, all you did was swing around a blunt weapon. Nothing more, nothing less]

"..."

Hiroto silently clenched his fist while his eyebrows furrowed from anger and frustration. Anger to himself for being to overconfident with his strength, and frustration from the powerlessness that he felt.

"... System... I need to grow stronger"

Hiroto said as he breathes deeply before looking at the system with a resolute expression on his face. Making the system look at him in amusement.
