It had all gone to hell, after [Alice] left and he started to dive really deep into the problem, he had found only more [Tampering] coming his way. From nudges in his thinking to look more into other worthless stuff...
To some more...Obvious, like that one time, he had been thinking about the importance of ripping the Mansion for the Shadow Dragons out of the [Soulscape].
It was meaningless and also would put a serious strain on Elizabeth's [Soulscape] but somehow, he had got in the mood that it was the right thing to do!
But even so, he got stuck into the idea of how to carve a part of the [Soulscape] and throw it into the void. If not for his [Skill] turning itself on at the predetermined time and cleaning him of influence...
Yeah, he was about to purge a part of the [Soulscape] and call it a day, it wouldn't influence his [System], not really, since that was kept up by the [Laboratory].
The [Magic]? That wouldn't be influenced either, since the [Library] was what fueled it with all the computational power he had shoved into that half, by all the looks of books and all, Elizabeth's Magic was fueled by hard science.
A middle finger to all the [Feelings] bullshit Catherine liked to prattle about, was her magic influenced by her [Feelings]? Probably, she was after all a [Fount of Power]. But that only applied to monsters like her and her husband.
The normal people without [Fate's Blessing] like him or Elizabeth needed hard facts and hard work...Or talent.
At least the girl had a talent in [Mana Manipulation], she couldn't flex it since [The System] did all the heavy lifting, but if not for that [Talent] in the background...Yeah, he would have needed to spend more of his own [Skill] and [Talent] to make everything work as smoothly as this.

He got zapped by his skill and his eyes narrowed once more, he had been distracted thinking about Elizabeth's parents, it hadn't been a deviation that big in his thoughts, but he couldn't nudge his skill at a lower setting. If he allowed his mind to be distracted whatever was affecting him would seize the advantage and work on it.
He had started the train of thought about cutting out the Shadow Mansion from something as simple as if a Shadow Scout would let him pet him or not after all.
No, he needed to focus, so for now he continued going about the logs.
"Hmph," even with all the distractions that came his way.
"I said Hmph!" Whatever they were...Nothing could distract him.
"I will complain with Mama next time I see her!" Alas, his little sister knew him the best and how to get his attention.
"We can't distract Eversoul for everything Alexa," He said with a sigh.
Not that she could actually tell it to that woman...She was...She wasn't around after all.
"Mama said that you wouldn't ignore me...You haven't come to the house after Eli-Eli came in that weird disguise." Alexa complained with a pout.
She was indeed one cute little girl as the advertising said, but he couldn't...He couldn't get distracted.
"This is important Alexa, someone has been messing around here." He said while pointing around, his Laboratory had seen better days, but nowadays...He hadn't let the robotic minions clean his disorder.
