Chapter 4: Awakened Creation
Adam took a deep breath, collecting himself as he muttered, "If that little guy sends me another window asking for more permissions, I'm saying no."
He frowned, feeling drained and frustrated. "Every time I say 'yes,' it feels like it sucks the energy out of me. If this keeps up, it might actually kill me."
As he thought this, the avatar on his phone began changing again, now sprouting small, pointed ears. Just then, a notification flashed across Adam's screen:
---
The microphone is being accessed by an unknown source.
---
Before Adam could read the message properly, it vanished, replaced by a new notification as the avatar's arms and legs began to grow:
---
Your mobile phone's camera is being accessed by an unknown source.
---
Adam couldn't look away from the avatar, who had just opened his eyes for the first time.
