Before continuing on with the conversation with the shocked Zain, Sarah had gone ahead and reached for her laptop. There was a lot of information that she needed to record down because, unknown to her, the system she herself had created had somewhat evolved into something else entirely.
"I know you might not fully trust me, but I have told you nothing but the truth so far. If you really want to know what is happening, and continue surviving in this world, while you protect those around you, then it's best that you tell me everything so we can get through this together.
"I'm the best chance that you have."
Zain sat there in silence for a while, he never wished to tell anyone the secret about his system. There was fear in the back of his mind, that maybe someone else would try to obtain it, or somehow use it as a weakness against him.
Trust was a hard thing, this new world had caused him to lose a lot of trust and even one of his best friends turned against them. It was why it was difficult for him to give an answer straight away.
Yet this person in front of him clearly knew about the system, and he had more to gain out of this relationship than to lose.
"Okay, let's work together. I'll try my best to explain everything, and in turn you have to help me, with these visions that I keep having and tell me what you plan to do with this Reborn group, the real goal." Zain asked.
"Of course."
Typing away, Sarah was writing down everything that Zain had told her, how the system worked at the beginning, how the stats affected his body, and how he figured out that eating a person's brain was a main component when it came to keeping his body stable and working as well as it did.
Of course he went into detail about some of his powers, being a control type and the quest rewards but didn't go into complete detail. For one, Zain didn't tell her what his current stats were nor about the zombies that he had in his possession.
At the same time, he didn't tell her that he had superhumans that had been turned into zombies in his Horde as well. He made sure to tell her just enough so she was able to figure everything out, while not revealing all of his trump cards.
Sarah went ahead and uploaded her notes to the main server, it looked like she was running a type of analysis. Since she created the original system, she was able to compare the differences and hopefully figure out why Zain was the way he was.
After that, she continued with her notes, as they moved on to the visions that Zain had in his head. He explained as far back as when the visions occured. Sarah was asking him about any links, was it every time he touched an item, and what he got out of those visions, apart from a fear of faceless man.
"This is amazing." Sarah said as she finished typing up her notes and hit the enter button. At the same time the original analysis had come back from her main server.
"Have you got an answer then?" Zain asked.
"I have an answer." Sarah replied. "But I have to warn you, what I have is just an answer, it might not be the correct one, but is based on all the information we currently have, and I hope you don't mind, but I pulled up information from your personal life as well."
If Zain had a heart beat it would have started racing right there and then.
'She is going to see everything about my personal life… if she finds out about that, then… what will she do with me?' Zain thought.
In a way, he was in too deep now though and had to just see how things rolled. Worst case he would attempt to escape this place by summoning his horde.
"Don't look so shocked." Sarah said. "All information can do is help you, don't worry it's not going to kill you. Anyway, my guess is that you must have unlocked a power. A power just like those that are superhuman that we talked about.
"If it is the case, it is the first case of its kind, but you see the abilities and powers one unlocks have a lot to do with the person and they differ greatly. A person who likes to travel a lot, may get the power to teleport.
"One who feels free like a bird, and always wished to be in the sky might get the ability of flight and so on. From what you told me, you loved to play games and in particular survival games.
"All of that, mixed in with the crystal, my system and your special case, would allow for the perfect set of circumstances to create… well, you."
Zain thought about what Sarah was saying, and since it was the only explanation they had so far, he was quite inclined to believe it.
"I want to change what I said before, when I said that the crystal falling into your hands was an accident, because from your history, and everything you said, it seemed like you were the perfect person to obtain the crystal and that is why you are here today.
"If someone else had gotten the crystal, well, I would assume that they would be dead by now and I would have never got to learn of the possibilities of my invention."
Seeing Sarah smile like so, Zain felt like it was a genuine smile, he wanted to believe her, he wanted to trust her and he was getting sucked in.
"So we somewhat cleared up how the system worked… but then what about those visions I had?" Zain asked.
Sarah closed the laptop, and in doing so the look on her face had changed.
"This is also a theory… but I will do my best to explain, I also think this has something to do with your past."
