A whole day had passed, and I mustered the courage to leave the house. And about the System... [System Unavailable ] It's still unavailable, and I can't do anything but wait for it to co back up.
I wonder if God is working on this.
"What's gotten into you? It's been a while since we've gone on a date."
"I was feeling a little down; going out with you will cheer up."
Lili's face flushed at my words, "If you say so." She held my hand, and the people around us stared at us. So looked happy for us, and others seed to have mixed feelings.
I don't know if they are jealous that I have such a beautiful girl by my side or if they are thinking sothing unnecessary. Either way, I don't care.
I walked with Lili through the streets while we talked and ate so food at so stalls. After that, we went to a restaurant where we bought a milkshake-like drink and so sweet snacks.
It was the perfect date that lasted almost the whole afternoon.
When the night ca, we went to one last place I was curious to visit. It was a fantastic building very close to our house. It was a tower.
Reminded a little of Big Ben in London. Lili's eyes lit up when we arrived in front of the tower.
"It's so beautiful. Why haven't I ever seen it before?"
"You haven't seen it? It has been here for a few days... I think."
"Really? I don't rember seeing it when I left the house yesterday. Are you sure it was here?"
"..." I was pretty confused. I think this tower was here... Or maybe it's a false mory. Anyway, let's see what's inside.
I opened the front door of the tower. It was a silver double door with so asymtrical designs all over it. When the door opened, I felt a cold wind hit my body. Lili squeezed my hand tighter; I could feel that she was shivering.
"?"
"I don't think going into this place is a good idea. I feel like sothing is wrong."
"..." I looked inside the tower once more. It was dark inside; I could only see a dim light in the distance. I swallowed my saliva and let go of Lili's hand, "Stay here and wait for , okay?"
"Luan, wait!" Lili was terrified. Her eyes were filled with tears. "Please." She grabbed my hand and pulled away from the door.
"Lili?"
"Let's go ho, please." Her little body was shaking. It was the first ti I had ever seen her act this way. This is strange, very strange.
I felt sothing strange, but what scares her so much?
"All right, let's go." I closed the door and stroked Lili's head. I plan to co back here later, this ti without Lili.

It was already quite dark outside. I left the house after Lili slept and headed towards the tower we had visited earlier. As I approached and opened the door, that cold wind hit again.
Without thinking, I took a few steps forward and entered the darkness.
BOOM~~~
And after I entered, the door behind was violently closed. I turned around and tried to open the door, but it was too late. "Damn, so that's it? A trap?" I started to feel a little nervous.
I tried to light up the place with fire magic, but it didn't work. Without the system, I couldn't even use that.
My visibility was minimal; I could see practically nothing. Still, I continued to take slow steps forward. "Ouch!" Then I stumbled on sothing. I bent down to see what it was.
I started to touch it and began to feel tal. It was an iron helt similar to what soldiers wore in the dieval era. I picked up the helt and began to see sothing quite intriguing.
I started to see two red lights coming out of the helt. It was like two eyes. I lifted the helt and looked directly at it. "Shit." And feeling that I was in danger, I threw the helt away.
GAAAAA~~~
After the helt crashed into sothing, I could hear a scream. It was an intense male voice. A sweat dripped down my cheek when several red dots appeared everywhere.
Several fierce eyes were staring at .
At the sa instant, I began to hear various tal armor sounds.
"Are they living armor? Or maybe zombies?" I went on guard and began to look around. I couldn't get my sword or use magic, and my physical strength and agility were low.
"What do I do? Without the system, I'm practically useless." Even though I am a level-three adventurer now, all my abilities co from the system. I am hostage to that system.
"DAMN! FUCK! CO ON! I'M GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU!"
AAAHHH~~
DIE~~~

A few hours earlier.
"Haven't you fixed the system yet? That kid is desperate." The woman said in a firm tone. Standing while looking at so translucent windows in the system, God remained silent for so ti.
He then shook his head in denial.
"I don't understand; it's not supposed to be like this. The system is working normally... It shows that Luan's system is active. I don't understand why it's unavailable for him."
"Are you kidding?
"I've spent all the ti trying to figure out so way to fix this, but I can't! It's like soone is preventing him from using the system... Wait!" A light appeared above God's head.
"That's it! There must be sothing or soone blocking the system. We have to find out what it is!"
"All right, I'll take care of it." The woman let out a sigh and soon after disappeared.
