Kael stumbled out of the warehouse, his mind reeling from the events that had just transpired. He couldn't believe what had happened - the fight, the system, the aether. It all seemed like a dream, but the pain in his body and the confusion in his mind told him it was all too real.
As he walked, the city streets seemed to blur together. Kael didn't know where he was going, but he knew he had to get away from the warehouse. He couldn't shake the feeling that the men would come after him again, and next time, he might not be so lucky.
After what felt like hours of walking, Kael finally stopped in front of a small café. He collapsed into a chair, his legs trembling beneath him. A waitress came over, concern etched on her face.
"Hey, are you okay?" she asked, eyeing Kael's battered body.
Kael nodded, trying to smile. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little... rough night."
The waitress nodded sympathetically. "Well, let me get you something to drink. On the house."
Kael smiled, gratitude washing over him. "Thanks," he said, his voice shaking.
As the waitress walked away, Kael's mind turned back to the system. What was it? How did it work? And what did it mean for his future?
"System," Kael said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Can you tell me more about yourself?"
The system's voice responded, calm and detached. "The Supreme System is an advanced artificial intelligence designed to enhance your abilities. It can absorb and synthesize aether, granting you access to powerful skills and attributes."
Kael's eyes widened. "What kind of skills?"
"Various," the system said. "Combat, magic, stealth. The possibilities are endless."
Kael's mind reeled as he thought about the implications. He could learn new skills, adapt to new situations, and evolve at an incredible rate.
"But what about my ability?" Kael asked. "Adaptation?"
"Ah, yes," the system said. "I've upgraded your ability from Adaptation to Adaptive Evolution. This new ability will allow you to absorb and synthesize abilities, making you incredibly powerful."
Kael's eyes lit up. "How does it work?"
"The system will allow you to absorb aether-infused abilities," the system explained. "You'll be able to synthesize them, making them your own. The more you use them, the stronger they'll become."
Kael's mind reeled as he thought about the possibilities. He could learn from others, adapt to new situations, and evolve at an incredible rate.
"Let's test it out," Kael said, his excitement growing.
The system responded, its voice calm and detached. "Very well. Let's begin your evolution."
Kael felt a surge of energy as the system activated. He could feel his body changing, adapting, evolving.
"What do I do now?" Kael asked, his voice filled with anticipation.
"Now, you absorb and synthesize abilities," the system said. "The possibilities are endless."
Kael smiled, feeling a sense of excitement and wonder. He knew that his life was about to change in ways he couldn't even imagine.
As he sat there, lost in thought, the waitress returned with a cup of steaming hot coffee. "Here you go," she said, smiling.
Kael took a sip, feeling the warmth spread through his body. He smiled, feeling a sense of hope. Maybe this system was exactly what he needed to change his life.
"System," Kael said, his voice firm. "Let's get started. Show me what I can do."
The system responded, its voice calm and detached. "Very well. Let's begin your evolution."
