However, when James checked his personal information, his face instantly instilled with anger as he stood up and shouted angrily at the little creature angrily.

"Hey, you little dumb ass AI, what have you done to my magician rank? Why did it disappear? Didn't I tell you that I chose all of them?!?"

"Wait, let me expla..."

"System, I want to complain and refund this dumb ass, and I want another AI that understands human language." Before the little creature finished speaking, he was interrupted by James again.

"You impatient boy, shut your stinky mouth before I get really angry and shut the system off. You fcking bastard who never lets the others finish their speeches and just shouts like an imbecile kid. Now, do you want to listen to me first, or let's call it here, and I will shut the system off?" Little Fluffy shouted angrily as he pointed his finger at James.

James realized that he had gone too far this time and quickly used his brain to find a solution for a second. Since James was thick-skinned and shameless person, he acted as if nothing happened.

"Hmm, apparently you went crazy, huh? I was just testing patience a bit, and now you're showing your true colors? you need to be patient and not get so easily angry, or you won't live long. Come on, just tell me why it disappeared.".

James said to Little Fluffy with a flat expression as he sat down again and acted like nothing happened.

'What the fuck? Didn't he yell at me first and get mad because of his impatience? Why did I feel like I am the bad guy here?'

Little Fluffy was confused by the sudden change in the host's personality. He wondered if the host had a dual personality. However, he didn't want to bother himself with it, so he immediately explained the reasons to James.

…

After knowing the reasons, James concluded that it made sense and that he could become very powerful with one of the three options.

It was clear that if these weren't nerfed, it would be extremely broken. That was why there were adjustments that had been made.

First, the amount required to upgrade the realm had increased. But, Little Fluffy just stated that it would take a ridiculous amount of beast cores to upgrade his rank.

However, when James asked him 'how many beast cores were needed to upgrade his current rank', Little Fluffy didn't say the exact amount because he was broke and it didn't matter if he knew or not for now, and James could ask him again in the future when he has enough system points.

Second, James couldn't upgrade his magician rank, though he could still use magic and buy skill books in the shops, as his mana was linked with his beast rank. For example:

If he had a peak rank 1 beast as a pet, he would get around 20% of the beast's strength as feedback. Thus, his physical strength and mana would be the same as 20% of the peak rank 1 beast.

The only way to increase his mana was by leveling up his beast or having more contracted beasts.

Third, between his cultivation level and beast master level, the disparity couldn't exceed one rank. For example:

The qualification of his beast was Silver (rank 3 beast), usually, he could level up his beast to Silver rank as long as he has enough system points. But if his cultivation rank was stuck at rank 1, he could only level up his beast to rank 2, regardless of how rich he was or how high the qualification talent of his beast was.

Conversely, if his cultivation rank had reached peak rank 4 and his beast was at peak rank 3, he needed to upgrade the qualification talent of his beast to rank 4 first and upgrade it to rank 4 before he could advance to rank 5 in his cultivation rank.

Additionally, every time his cultivation rank reached the peak of each realm, he needed enough experience to advance to the next realm, which could only be gained through battle and kill the enemy.

'Urgghh, why is my brother shouting loudly in the middle of the night?' Minji opened her eyes, yawned, and rubbed her eyes slowly.

After a while, with her sleepy eyes, she sat on the bed. Looking at the quite dim fire in the stone stove, she got up, walked towards the pile of firewood, grabbed some firewood, and added it to the stone stove.

Afterwards, she walked to the table and fetched a cup of water and drank it.

"Gulp!"

"Gulp! "

"Gulp!"

Her sleepiness slowly dissipated as the water slid down her throat to her belly.

Feeling refreshed after quenching her thirst, she decided to go outside to ask her brother.

"Squeak!"

As the door opened, she saw her brother in the distance, sitting in front of the fireplace.

"Brother, why were you shouting in the middle of the night? What happened?" She asked loudly.

As James was still shorting his thoughts, he heard his little sister's voice and tilted his head to see her.

"It's okay, Minji. I just awakened my talent and am excited that we might finally be able to leave this ghost place once I become stronger using my talent." James answered with a smile.

'Did I hear it wrong? I thought my brother was shouting angrily a while ago.' Minji thought as she put her fingers on her chin and thought carefully before she was interrupted by her hunger.

"Growl!"

Her stomach growled, and her thoughts immediately filled with boar meat as saliva dripped unknowingly from her mouth.

"Brother, go back inside quickly. Let's have a meal." Minji said before she quickly went inside the house without waiting for her brother's reply.

"..."

'Why didn't she ask anything about my awakening? Along with praising how amazing and strong I am. Instead, she thought about mere boar meat rather than her handsome brother? she even left without waiting for my reply.' James was speechless.

"That hurts a bit." James clutched his chest and acted like an actors when they broke up with their girlfriend.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA, even your sister doesn't give a shit with your so-called awakening and prioritized boar meat over you." Little Fluffy felt good seeing it and mocked James.

"How did you know my thoughts?" Can you read my mind?" James asked as he looked curiously at Little Fluffy.

"Of cours. In the future, you can communicate with me using your thoughts so that you don't look like a fool to others, since they can't see me." Little Fluffy said proudly.

'That's why my sister didn't notice Little Fluffy, it's because she couldn't see it. Otherwise, she'd be excited to find something cute and run straight over to play with him.' James thought.

"Of course, hmmph." Little Fluffy said while crossing its hands in his chest with a smug expression.

"By the way, can my little sister use the system too? Like, upgrading her rank and others?" James asked Little Fluffy while ignoring its smug behavior.

"This... someone other than the host shouldn't be able to use the system like you do because the system is exclusive only to the host, and everyone except the host can only use the products such as pills, weapons, etc.

However, there is a way that someone who has the host's family bloodline could use some of it. Though there are pros and cons because the system's level is too low." Little Fluffy thought about it for a while before explaining it to James.

James raised his eyebrows, delighted that her little sister could use some of the system's functions too.

"That's cool, what are the pros and cons of it?" James asked curiously.
