Dylan:"What happened?'
Ethan turns towards Dylan.
Ethan: "The system.... disappeared."
Dylan: "Maybe try apologizing."
Ethan: "Apologize.. Seriously?"
Dylan: "Hey, I didn't program the system."
Ethan let's out a sigh.
Ethan: "Please, come back system."
Dylan covers his mouth trying to control his laughter.
Dylan: "pphhhh."
Ethan: "If you wanna say something say it to my face."
Dylan: "You should try apologizing more sincerely."
Ethan: "I am not doing that shit again. There's gotta be some way to open the system."
The system interface instantly appears.
Ethan: "Wait a damn minute."
Ethan stopped, the irritation fading as a look of realization spread across his face, like he had finally pieced something together.
Ethan: "Close."
The system interface instantly disappeared.
Ethan: "Open."
The system interface instantly reappears.
Ethan: "So all this time this shit closes and opens on FUCKING VOICE COMMAND. Why isn't there just a close and open button.
A flicker of understanding crossed Dylan's face.
Dylan: "If the system closes and opens on voice command, does that mean the skills are also voice command?"
Ethan: "Well....hmm...."
Ethan fell deep into thought.
Ethan: "That might, actually work"
Ethan reached out his hand, aiming at the rock.
Ethan: "Mana blast!"
At the tip of Ethan's hand a mysterious blue energy starts to manifest, growing bigger by the second.
Ethan and Dylan wait in anticipation.
Dylan: "Are you sure this is safe?"
Ethan: "Nope."
Dylan: "....."
Ethan: "....."
Dylan: "How long is this gonna take?"
Ethan: "Soon hopeful-"
Before Ethan could finish the blue energy becomes the size of a fist it launches in the direction Ethan was aiming.
*BOOM*
As soon as the blast came in contact with the rock, it exploded in a bright flash.
Ethan and Dylan instinctively raised their hand to protect their faces.
Blue particles drifted through the air like glowing dust and the rock was almost completely gone, reduced to faint fragments scattered on the ground.
Ethan: "That was...way stronger than i expected."
Ethan turns to look at the system screen.

Ethan: "I would say 3 Mana is worth it for this kind of firepower if it didn't take THREE BUSINESS DAYS to fire, seriously the charge up was almost half a minute how am I gonna hit anything with that. Let's hope your skill better?"
Dylan scans the nearby area and decides to use the nearby tree as a target.
Dylan raises his hand, towards the tree.
Dylan: "Strike!"
Both of them, eyes wide open as both of them of them wait in anticipation.....
Absolutely nothing.
Even the wind seemed embarrassed for him.
Ethan: "Wow, you really showed oxygen who's boss."
Dylan retracts his hand back and holds it.
Closing his eyes in embarrassment.
Dylan: "Is the system busted?"
Ethan sarcasticly remarks.
Ethan: "Maybe you weren't sincere enough, you should try apologizing."
Dylan turns towards Ethan.
Dylan: "Seriously!?"
Ethan: "You started it"
Ethan walks towards Dylan and hands him the knife.
Ethan: "Try it with this."
Dylan hesitantly grabs the knife.
Dylan steps closer, closing the gap between himself and the towering tree.
Dylan: "Are you sure this is gonna work?"
Ethan: "Maybe?"
He took a deep breath and raised the knife.
Dylan: "Strike!"
Dylan's body immediately as if moving on its own swung the knife down in a sharp arc, the blade slicing through the tree.
Ethan: "Wow, the skill didn't disappoint."
Dylan looks down at his hands.
Dylan: (Did I do that?)
Ethan: "Is something wrong?"
Dylan: "When I used the skill, it felt like I had no control over my hands, i couldn't stop them. It will be difficult to use in a fight."
Ethan: "So you're saying that the system used the skill for you and you can't use it in a fight?"
Dylan: "I never said I can't, it will just be difficult, since losing control of my hands really throws me off rythm."
Ethan: "Let's see what the other skill does."
Ethan turns towards the system, and clicks on stat distribution.
A new screen materializes instantly.
[ Stat distribution:
Allows the user to allocate their bonus
stats. ]
Ethan: "I think I understand this. We get bonus stats when we level up and this skill allows us to distribute them, just like in an MMORPG."
Dylan: "I don't get it?."
Ethan: "Don't worry about it, this skill isn't useful to us for now."
Dylan: "Sure."
