"What?" I turned, bewildered, when Frosty explained the void to me, saying that time is slower here than on the other side. I found this very hard to believe, but then I remembered that in the ice realm, there was also a time-dilation effect after I returned.
"This void... How long have you had this? What happened to the others and the Wyrm?" I was concerned about Rani and the Haman Kingdom. That Wyrm could easily destroy everything, and the hero is not even here to help them out.
[Hehe...]
Frosty let out a small chuckle at my curious response. She created an ice couch with a wave of her hand, showcasing her ice powers. She sat there comfortably, crossing one leg over the other and folding her arms, looking at me as if I were a lost child.
[No wonder all women go crazy when they look at you. Your looks and beauty can drive any woman to do anything to have you.]
"That doesn't answer my question," I said, finding her reply repetitive and similar to what I'd heard from many people before.
[Huh... I honestly don't know what happened after I brought you here. As for your next question, this void where we currently are is in another dimension. Only a few people can use this void, but my void is special. Do you know why?]
I stared at Frosty curiously, waiting to know why her void was special. System remained silent this entire time, clutching her form.
[My void is the only place where time moves slowly because time in the ice realm is also slower than in other continents. You have immortality, making you a suitable user to wield my power. If you use me with your potential, I can guarantee that you will become the strongest demi-human on this continent.]
I listened closely to Frosty's explanation. "Okay, but how are you planning to improve my mana flow and physique? And what about Rani and the Haman Kingdom? If I stay here, their lives could be in danger."
[In that case, why don't we start improving your mana flow and physique now?]
Frosty rose from the icy couch and began pacing. She looked at me coldly and then at System.
[I will talk with you later soulmate. Until then, let's begin.]
System didn't reply to her; instead, she sat on my lap and looked back at Frosty emotionlessly. Frosty ignored her nonchalant stare and looked back at me. She shifted her gaze and spoke.
[First, you have to improve your physique. You probably know that you have a hidden power inside you. We even saw that when you killed those Haman guards before meeting the Haman queen!]
She reminded me of when I killed the Haman guards with my dark magic. I was clueless about it then, but now I realize what it actually was. I glanced at Frosty and thought, "If I can improve my physique, I might be able to use those powers again. I have no choice but to rely on her."
[Don't just stare at me. The more time you waste here, the more people on the other side will lose their lives.]
I nodded, looked at System, and asked her to show me my status.

"My Bloodline Radiant Veli of Berserk is awakened, but only at 1/3. I guess it happened when I killed those guards before meeting Rani's mother. I also haven't cultivated my Yin Qi."
Frosty looked into my eyes closely, staring at something in the air. She couldn't see my status and thought I was ignoring her.
[What are you doing? Haven't you listened to me?]
"Yeah, I already heard you. Tell me what I have to do!" I stood on my feet as System followed and stayed silent. She was still naked, but she wasn't showing any embarrassed expression. Frosty saw that she didn't have anything to cover her body, so she created a robe with her magic and handed it to System.
[Cover yourself. I don't want him getting distracted during the training.]
System didn't respond and stayed silent. Frosty narrowed her eyes, noticing System's lack of response.
"System, get yourself dressed," I told her, accepting the clothes Frosty was offering. She nodded after hearing my words. The dress was thin and loose, but it was better than nothing.
System covered herself in the robe. My heart pounded at the sight of her; she looked like a walking beauty. "You look beautiful!"
(Huh... thank you, host!)
System blushed at my flattering words. A small smile appeared on her face as she wrapped my hand and pressed it between her breasts. My manhood started to react, and my urge to be intimate with System increased with each passing moment.
[No, you are not going to engage in any intimate act here. I brought you into the void for training!]
Frosty interrupted our flirty chat. I made some distance from System. Her expression turned to sadness when I left her embrace; she wanted to hold me longer, but I had to train my body.
"Tell me what I have to do."
[Sit down in the lotus position and close your eyes.]
I followed her instructions, sitting on the icy grass in the lotus position and closing my eyes. System silently stood and watched over me.
[Many past memories inside you are holding you back from using your full strength This bad event is the main reason that you cannot use your mana flow. Mana flow requires concentration and a clear mind, but your past is holding you back]
Frosty said as she continued her explanation.
[To free yourself from these, you have to fight them. I will create an illusion world, and you have to find your way back from there. It's simple just don't give up and fight till the end. If you give up, you will be trapped in there forever and never be able to escape. You only get one chance!]
"What! I thought you were going to give me physical training, but what is—" Before I could complete my sentence, everything around me turned dark. Suddenly, I found myself in a very familiar place. The modern buildings and cars were unmistakable. I was back in my world.
