GameDev Reincarnated into His Own Creation

Vol 2 - Chapter 21.1: Access Pending

I toggled on my interface to examine Hileya more closely. The information that appeared caught me off guard.

Hileya Nightfae

HP: 65/65

Party-member

Party member? What? Since when could I see this information?

I stared at the display, confused. I rarely checked these interface elements for obvious reasons, but I was certain this hadn't been there before.

Last I checked, even up to recently, this was never in the info.

Wait...that moment, in front of the academy, when that strange vision hit.

That disorienting flash of imagery, the static, the feeling of something shifting in my perception... had my interface evolved somehow after that incident?

I quickly glanced at Celia, focusing my attention on her as she demonstrated another defensive technique.

Celia Freznoria

HP: 82/82

Party-member

I tapped into the party member section and detailed stats appeared for both Celia and Hileya.

Celia Freznoria

Weapon Class: Duelist

HP: 82/82

MP: 46/46

Primary Affinity: Air (Lightning Specialized)

Proficiency: Light Blades (High), Dagger (Medium)

And Hileya's display was equally detailed:

Hileya Nightfae

Weapon Class: Unclassified

HP: 65/65

MP: 42/42

Primary Affinity: Water (Un-Attuned)

Secondary: Entropy (Un-Attuned)

Proficiency: Dagger (Potential)

Right—the [+3 items pending] notification from that vision. This party feature must be one of them. What were the other two?

I scanned through all available sections until something caught my eye in the inventory.

One item seemed to have finished 'loading'. Most items still showed [Pending] or [Invalid] status, but this one read:

[Debug Item] World's Line Fragment

This was the record of that strange vision. 'Fragment'—meaning there was a 'whole' version somewhere.

I focused on the item and a description appeared:

[A fragment of world-line data, containing partial information about divergent events. Viewing may cause temporal disorientation.]

Is there anything else I missed?

Then I see it, in the party members management window, there's a small arrow next to their name.

Tapping on it displays a small info.
