### Summary
Following the previous chapter's cliffhanger, it has been clarified that Fourth Prince Ilya cannot see Jerry's system interface but can sense and physically interact with it, perceiving it as the mana of another "person." This revelation has ignited fan theories that the system is not a neutral game mechanic but a manipulative entity, a curse, or a person with a hidden agenda. The narrative's central tension has intensified as Jerry frustratingly ignores the profound implications of Ilya's discovery, continuing to trust the system and attribute Ilya's feelings to its influence rather than genuine affection. In response, Ilya has become increasingly jealous and possessive, viewing the system itself as a rival for Jerry's attention. A secondary plot involving a curse has been resolved, with the curse reflecting back onto its caster, a recurring antagonist from House Anderson. This event underscored the severity of the pain Jerry has been nullifying with his "sensation index," a self-destructive habit driven by his fear of a prophesied "bad ending." Readers are now highly invested in the mystery of the system's true nature and the escalating romantic conflict fueled by Jerry's denial and Ilya's protective devotion.
