Character from He Who Fights with Monsters by Shirtaloon
The Great Astral Being that manages essence awakening across the cosmos — accidentally created by Jason Asano when he restored the Sundered Throne.
The System is unique among Great Astral Beings because it was created accidentally by Jason at the end of Book 11. When he restored the Sundered Throne, he unconsciously created a cosmic entity that gave every essence user in existence access to the same UI interface he'd had as an outworlder. Jason's System Administrator ability allows him to revoke access. This makes Jason technically a Great Astral Being himself — The System is an extension of his will, and upon full transcendence he will wield its powers directly. The implications of one sarcastic Australian inadvertently becoming a cosmic force are exactly as chaotic as you'd expect.
The System has no physical form. It manifests as a UI interface visible to all essence users — a heads-up display showing abilities, status, and essence information that appeared universally after Jason restored the Sundered Throne.
