The Undying Immortal System

I woke up in my apartment and groggily shook my head.

What had happened to me?

I thought back to the last moment I could remember. I had been improving my affinities, and there was a sudden pain in my soul…

Doing a quick examination of my soul, I didn’t notice anything different. It was healed slightly more than the last time I had looked at it closely, but that was the only difference I could find.

Then, I noticed my storage space.

There was a lot of empty space inside. Too much. From what I could tell, its radius had increased by nearly 10%. That might not sound like much, but it meant the volume had increased by 33%. The space inside had increased by well over 100,000 cubic centimeters, and it was still growing at a noticeable pace.

Putting everything together, I realized that gaining a spatial affinity had interacted with the spatial fire seed and my storage space in a strange way that had knocked me unconscious. The result of this wasn’t that bad. After all, I got a free expansion to my storage space, but if I enhanced my space affinity in the future, it might cause more severe problems.

To try and play it safe, I asked the System for guidance on the topic, but as expected, every request came back with prices far outside of my budget.

There wasn’t much I could do about this. I couldn’t exactly tell anyone about the situation, and bringing it up as a hypothetical in front of anyone knowledgeable on the topic would throw up way too many red flags. Hell, I didn’t even know who I could possibly ask other than Du XiongMing, and I doubted I would be able to gain an audience with him anytime soon.
