Demonic Cult!?
Celina was angered to the point of just shutting down the entire system and letting Daren rot in hell without being able to use any of its functions.
She would not do so as there was actually no point. What Daren cared for was the companionship that Celina provided him with when he felt lost and lonely in this unknown world.
To Daren, even though he found the system to be useful and that it had saved his life, he attributed all that respect and love towards Celina. To him, Celina owned the system.
He couldn't care less if the system's abilities were gone. He only did not want to lose Celina.
Celina also could not bear losing the only person who she had talked to since her sister had a bone to sleep. This is also the person that showed her all the fantastic things that were in his memories.
He would also show her the amazing sights that were available to see in this world that went in the opposite direction of Daren's. A world of magic and not science.
At this moment, Daren and Celina had formed an incomprehensible bond. One that would lead to an unbreakable relationship.
Ding!

"It seems that I have said too much tonight. I will take my rest for the night. I will see you here tomorrow evening my brother." Daren left Rusky, Arlene, and the onlookers to digest the hearty story he had just fed them.
He went up to his room and locked the door. He took off his shirt and tossed his boots to the sides and laid down on the bed.
Daren covered himself with a blanket and opened the system interface.
-----------------------------------------
Celina's Physical Form - This is the reward for completing the nearly impossible challenge of understanding each other's thoughts and emotions with perfection. It is mostly due to Celina's hard work and effort into understanding Daren so the system has rewarded her.
Celina can now form a physical form of her choosing. She may fully control the appearance, clothing, or anything related to her form which can be physically manifested.
Her connection to the user's soul will remain as she has not been freed from the system's restraints. Work harder to make that happen. Good luck!

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!! YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!! YEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!! Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh."
Celina was screaming and having a party in Daren's head like a teenager whose parents weren't home.
It was justified. Imagine living in a quiet void with nothing to do for a couple of years and then being told you can leave, have a body and explore a vibrant world that was full of unknown wonders.
Anyone would party like crazy if they were in a situation like this.
"You wanna try making one right now? " asked Daren
"Not now. Give me until tomorrow morning. I'm gonna scour your memories to see all the girls that are in there for inspiration. Bye-bye!"
Celina was going to take her time finding all the features she wanted to give her body. She had to find a desirable height, face shape, lips, eyes, hair, nose, and pretty much everything related to a person's body.
She was going to choose everything she wanted. What girl did not want to be able to have the perfect face and body of her choosing?
Even though Daren didn't need to sleep and could just cultivate at night with there being more ice energy in the air, he felt like he wouldn't be human if he did not sleep.
That's why he laid down and was trying to fall asleep.
After laying there for over an hour, Daren could not sleep as he did not feel tired at all. ON the other hand, he was feeling too energetic.
'I was going to do this tomorrow but I guess I'll do it tonight.' he thought.
Daren quickly put on his new set of full, black attire and opened his window. he crouched down on his window sill and jumped high in the air. He was light on his feet and was getting used to the feeling of getting stronger.
Each time he had a breakthrough, even though he was getting stronger by horrid amounts, Daren could feel that he was getting better at control his power and the flow of force through his body.
Daren landed on the roof as quiet as a mouse and disappeared into the night.
.......
The next morning, two stories were floating around Igrit. The smaller of the two was that the "Demonic Cult" had shown its presence in this city.
People who heard this and actually believed it to be true were preparing to leave this city. Some were merchants who had established business while others were commoners who had settled down.
Anyone who believed that the demonic cult was near them would promptly flee their surroundings without hesitation.
Everyone in this world knew that if the demonic cult arrived, there would be gruesome bloodshed in which anybody could be dragged into.
Commoner 1: "Did you hear? Apparently, the demonic cult has been mutilating people in our city."
Commoner 2: " Yeah. I heard they form symbols of their victim's eyes and private parts."
Commoner 3: " My friend in the city guard told me that they found that the dead bodies had been sucked dry of their blood. They looked like dried-out husks."
Commoner 1: "That's what everyone has been told but then why would the city guard go out of their way to announce that the rumors were untrue."
Commoner 2: " Either the rumors are false or the city officials don't want things to be hectic."
Commoner 3: "Whether it is true or not, only time will tell."
Conversations similar to this were floating around the countless streets of Igrit City.
Even though the emotion of fear was stronger than most others, the story of the Demonic Cult was being overshadowed by the heartbreaking story of a young man.
Everyone was talking about the young, orphan couple that was struggling to awaken the wife's younger sister from what seemed like an eternal slumber.
This story was being spread out by the orders of the city officials to quell the fear that could lead to riots in a city where the Demonic Cult was hiding in the shadows.
Yesterday, the city guards had found the bodies of 8 thieves. These 8 thieves had been assaulted swiftly by a group of assassins. Their eyeballs had been gouged out and placed into a neat circle by this unknown group.
While that incident happened during the day, there was another incident where the same had happened at night.
In the basement of a local tavern, 15 thieves were found dead in their own secret hideout. The thieves had dried up bodies that were devoid of blood.
They laid there with nothing but bones and dried-up skin. Their eyeballs had also been gouged out and placed in a circle. Inside the circle this time, were the genitals of the thieves as they were all men.
With the death of so many thieves and the strange ways in which they had been killed, the city officials concluded that a trained group of the Demonic Cult's assassins had infiltrated the city.
The truth though was far from this. There was no Demonic Cult and there was no trained group of assassins. It was all done by one person who had nothing to do with the demonic cult.
The perpetrator was obviously, the one and only Daren.
