[Ding! The System reminds you that teleportation to the connected world will begin in 10 minutes! The countdown begins!]
At the sa ti, Idan and Arabel noticed how the countdown to 10 minutes began on the tir, which only they could see. They had already been alerted by the System about this event, so they weren't too surprised. On the contrary, they were even glad that they were given at least 10 minutes to prepare and warn their friends.
After completing the System's tasks, Idan and Arabel hurried to leave the place. However, two familiar people appeared on their way.
Irene and Arslan, finally recovering from the shock, decided to appear in front of the couple to find out what was going on here. In addition, they wanted to prevent outsiders from posting the video they shot online as soon as possible.
Irene instantly used her power to erase the mories of all the witnesses of what happened to Arabel and Idan. At the sa ti, Arslan once again used his ability to isolate the place. It took them no more than ten seconds to do everything.
"Damn it," Irene cursed. Idan was extrely surprised by the sudden appearance of his older sister and Arslan. However, he was even more struck by Irene's rude statent. He also noticed how his sister's eyes had changed the mont she appeared.
"I forced them to delete the video, but I can't say for sure if anyone had ti to put it on the Web. It's best to prepare for the worst and assu that the recording has already appeared online," Irene told Arslan, closing her eyes.
Arslan, annoyed by the upcoming problems, started rubbing his temples. He stared with displeasure at his older sister, who, seeing her younger brother, beca confused and, lowering her gaze, stared at her feet.
Idan also felt awkward when he t his older sister's disapproving gaze. By this point, her eyes had already returned to their normal state.
"Explain yourself!" demanded Irene, staring intently at Idan.
"Um... Sister… The thing is..." Idan tried to find the right words to explain the situation. But before he could finish his sentence, he felt that sothing strange was happening to his body.
He had never experienced anything like this before. It was as if an outside force was pouring into his body. He looked at Arabel in surprise, who was also staring at him. At that mont, they both realized that they were experiencing the sa thing. Noticing each other's surprised looks, they ca to the sa conclusion.
They have begun their awakening process!
Irene and Arslan also noticed how Idan suddenly stopped talking and stared at Arabel in disbelief, while Arabel stared at him in amazent.
"What happ..." — Irene did not have ti to ask Idan, as the monotonous voice of her system sounded in her head.
[Attention! Host, the activation of a unique system has been detected!]
"Eh? What?" exclaid Irene, surprised.
Arslan also heard sothing similar from his system and, looking at Irene, noticed her puzzled look. They exchanged glances, and finally their attention was caught by Idan and Arabel, who had already turned their gaze on them.
"I think that seeing your amazent, I don't need to explain?" Idan said with a slight smile.
"How?" asked Irene, turning to her younger brother.
Arslan, equally surprised, also fixed his gaze on Idan.
They both focused their attention on Idan, completely forgetting about Arabel. Their systems reported only that the system had been awakened, in the singular. Therefore, they mistakenly assud that it was Idan who had awakened the system, and not Arabel, since he had started the conversation first.
"Sister, I really would like to explain everything to you, but unfortunately we don't have much ti," Idan replied with the sa slight smile, realizing that ti was inexorably running out.
"What are you talking about? Why don't you have enough ti?" asked Irene, perplexed. What kind of strange things is her younger brother saying, claiming that he doesn't have much ti?
Suddenly she got a response from her system.
[Host! Your brother has awakened a unique system! The unique system differs from "this" and the others in that it has a large set of privileges. Unique systems have no limitations like "this one". Most likely, your brother will be teleported to the connected world within a few minutes.]
"What?!" Irene exclaid after hearing the explanation from her System. She was already amazed that her brother had awakened the system so long after the injection of the serum. She had never heard of anyone successfully awakening like him after so long.
She knew that the governnt was already preparing for the second wave of serum vaccination, and she hoped that her brother would be lucky enough to awaken after that. Thanks to the System, she, like the rest of the already awakened ones, had insider information about what was happening.
However, the ntion of her system's unique system ca as a surprise to her. She already knew from her own that the systems were classified by rarity: ordinary, rare, epic, and legendary. Her system was considered rare from the mont of awakening, as were the systems of Arslan and other awakened ones who were among the ten strongest Heroes of the Federation. She had never heard of the awakening of epic or legendary systems, let alone unique systems.
"Are you sure?" Irene asked her system.
[Host! Unique systems are unique because they have special and distinctive waves of presence from conventional systems, which systems such as "this" can accurately identify. "This" System is only able to determine whether a system is unique or common, but it cannot reveal the rest of the information about another system. I apologize for my uselessness, Host!] — Irene's System replied.
Idan noticed that his sister had cald down a bit and decided to ask the most important question before they were teleported away. Arabel, who was standing next to them, watched them closely, realizing that ti was rapidly running out.
"Sister, what should we consider and what should we pay attention to when we find ourselves in another world?" asked Idan.
When Irene heard her brother's question, she realized that her system was right.: Judging by the way Idan was in a hurry to ask this question, he would be teleported soon.
"I can see that you're in a hurry, so let tell you about it. When we first found ourselves in another world, we were all scattered in different places. Even after a while, we couldn't et each other," Irene began to share her experience.
"When you find yourself in another world, Idan, the first thing to do is look around and try to gather as much information as possible. The governnt still has not been able to fully analyze the data received from all of us and get at least a rough idea of this world. It's too vast and diverse," Arslan chid in, offering his advice.
Irene was unhappy with his intervention, but realizing that her brother had little ti left, she did not argue with him.
"I want to discuss a lot with you, Idan. Since you've awakened the System, I have no reason to hide information from you anymore. But considering that you don't have much ti, I can only wish you to be safe," she said, hugging her younger brother.
"Try not to attract attention and be as inconspicuous as possible. Don't get involved in conflicts that don't concern you, and avoid big cities. And most importantly, co back alive!" added Irene.
Watching the siblings chatting and realizing that the ti had almost co, Arabel decided to approach her younger brother.
Arslan noticed how his older sister approached him with a strange expression on her face.
"Brother, I hope that you will manage and take care of the problem that I have created. I'm counting on you very much. I'll explain everything to you later. I understand that you will have a lot of questions after all this, but I thought about it and decided at least once to consider my desire and not miss this opportunity, despite the decision of the family," Arabel said quietly, looking at her perplexed younger brother. Then she hugged him tightly goodbye.
Arslan was at a loss. Why was his older sister talking to him like she was saying goodbye to him?
After saying these words, Arabel released her brother and returned to Idan. He, in turn, also finished saying goodbye to his older sister.
They both realized that the ti had almost co.
Irene, like the others, couldn't understand what was going on. She saw Arabel walk up to Idan and stand next to him. Irene's first thought was that Arabel had co to say goodbye.
But what happened next completely destroyed her guess.
The tir ran out, and the space around Idan and Arabel began to twist and tear. The rift in the shape of a circle, rotating, increased in size, reaching about three ters in diater, forming a portal to another world.
A pulling force that only affected Idan and Arabel burst out of the portal. Realizing that they were about to be sucked inside the portal, Idan extended his hand to Arabel. She imdiately understood his thoughts and held his hand tightly in response.
They looked at their relatives at the sa ti and said:
— See you soon! And with those words, they were both sucked into the rift.
It was only when the couple disappeared that Arslan realized that his older sister had also disappeared into the portal leading to another world. It was only then that he realized that his sister was saying goodbye to him and leaving him to deal with all the troubles she had created.
Not only he, but also Irene was surprised by what had happened. She stared in shock at Arslan, who, in turn, stared at her in shock.
