It was strange, what was happening sort of reminded Kai of a lucid dream. His body floated forward towards Aldred and the two full moon abominations by itself. Well, not by itself, Failure was the one controlling it, but it was still strange.

Kai was now the one watching the scene unfold. Even though he was still looking through his own eyes, it was also like watching a movie. Everything around him continued to happen normally even though he wasn't really present.

There was a few oddities though. Noelle sobbing while on her knees beside a bloody corpse with a blade stuck in its neck. Sofia tenderly placing a hand on the crying girls shoulder, which to Kai's surpirse, she didn't swipe away.

Also, there was a large amount of moon beasts gathering around a moon wolf whos body was slowly turning white. It seemed that Kai was right with what he thought when he read the description of the tunic he was gifted, when a moon wolf dies their fur does indeed turn white.

But there was also a cloud of shadows hovering over the dead wolf, casting themselves over it. Thinking there was something familiar about the dead wolf, Kai tried to get a closer look, but the speed he was floating at suddenly picked up.

Then, the notications went off.

And there was a lot of them.

The skills just didn't stop coming. One after the other, notifications about new skills rang in Kai's ears. The sheer amount of them was incredible, and so was the names of some of them too. The rarities of all the skills were higher than basically all of Kai's skills, there was even one that had question marks as its rarity. Kai thought he was going crazy when he read their descriptions.

Sadly, when Kai tried to look at his stats, he was unable to read them. They were just a flurry of ever changing numbers, constantly reading different digits every millisecond. Maybe it was only Failure who could see the stats.

There was also the fact that the name the system had given Failure was Constance of Regret, which was a fitting title, but seemed a little on the nose.

"Failure-"

Just as Kai attempted to speak, he was promptly cut off by Failure, who was sounding much more serious than Kai expected.

"My dear Kai, I am going to be completely honest with you. While I have technically recovered to my full strength for these next moments, it has been a long time since I have actually fought. It will be like I am fighting with an arm behind my back for the first while, so I am unsure how effective I will actually be."

Kai remained silent as Failure went on and on. Honestly, he just wanted to know that the man possessing his body was getting at.

As if reading his mind, Failure grinned with Kai's own mouth and said.
