2_Weird system

In a room where clothes, food, and other things were laying on the ground, was a bed where a teenage boy was laying. The boy seemed to be deep asleep. It even looked like he didn't breath anymore, but that thought was dispelled fast because his eyes suddenly opened.

The boy sat up and looked around. He seemed to be confused at first but became normal again when he remembered what happened not long ago.

[So…Where am I?]

The boy really didn't have a clue where he was or who he was now.

[Shouldn't the memory from this body come to me like in the novels?]

The teenager seemed to be quite an expert in cliches things. He knew that normally the protagonist should get their memory right when they woke up.

[Maybe I need to do something to activate it.]

The boy really didn't know how he needed to activate it. He thought about all the novels, anime, manga,…he read and saw, but he got no answer for his situation.

[Should I just bang my head? Maybe after a shock the memories will flow inside my head.]

He knew it was a stupid idea, but he really didn't have any better idea. The teenager knew that he could just say he was amnesic, but he thought it would be so much easier if he had the original's body memory.

[Because what if I have some enemy or something.]

It seemed that he really did read a bit too much because he thought that MAYBE he could be a criminal on run.

Standing up from the bed on trying to navigate through the mess he finally arrived on a clean spot. The boy put his hand on the wall on pushed his head back. He was ready to bang his head on the wall but was disturbed by a sound that came in his head.

*PING*

{ 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, …, 10%, …, 20%, …,30%, … }

The voice in his head began to count slowly, but suddenly it stopped counting when he reached 50%.

{50%, ...…This is too slow!}

It seemed that the voice was impatient to count slowly and began to count faster with leaps of 5.

{ 60%, 65%, 70%, 75% }

But that too seemed to take too much time for the voice.

{ 100% }

It just directly jumped to 100 without even counting properly.

{ Successful attached to host. }

The boy really didn't know what to say when he occurred this. He knew from all reading that he was now attached to a system, but somehow he couldn't be happy with it.

{ Hello host, I'll be helping you out in your new life. I'm a Good system. I help to make my host a good person. }

[Become a good person?]

The teenager never heard a system that makes their host a good person. Shouldn't they like help him to become stronger or have a shop where he can buy things or something like that?

In the end, he came to a conclusion: [It's definitely a weird system.]

{ There's nothing special you need to do. }

[???]

The question marks could be seen on his face.

[Then…Why do I have a system?]

The system does nothing, so he didn't see any need to have it to begin with. His conclusion was now confirmed.

[The system is really weird.]

{ That… Let's begin again. }

[What?]

{ I'm a Good system. I help to make my host a good person. You only need to listen to me, and you'll become a good person! }

[Yes, definitely weird.]

{ Did that sound good? }

[…]

[How should I answer!]

{ Just be honest, host! }, the voice cried out.

[You can read my mind?]

The boy was unsure, but he actually had a feeling that the system could read his thought.

{ Of course, I can! }

[Then…Does it know?]

He knew that he didn't say anything wrong, but maybe it would make the system unhappy.

{ Know what? That you called me weird? }

Hearing it answer he knew that he was exposed. He was just in a new world and already offended someone.

{ It's okay to think like that, host! Because I think you're weird too! }

This didn't make him happier. It only made him want to punch the system once or twice.

{ I'll come out now, host! }

The teenager didn't have the time to ask what the system meant when a small floating girl appeared. The girl seemed to be about 10 cm. She had short black hair that came to her shoulders and a pair of bright blue eyes. The small girl wore black shorts and a white t-shirt.

"You're that girl from back then."

The boy realized that the small floating girl was the girl he saw before his death. There were differences like how she was smaller or how her eyes are blue instead of black. But if you ignore that, she looked exactly like her.

{ Yeah, it's me! Surprise! }

He really was surprised by her. He thought that he would never see her again. He kind of thought she was the grim reaper, but somehow she seemed to be a system instead.

{ I think you already know, but no one can see me in this form. Only you can see me! }

[And people like me.], she added silently to herself.

{ If you don't like me reading your thoughts, I can block it, instead, you would communicate with me through our bond. It's easy, you only need to think about me! Of course, you can also speak aloud, but maybe someone would think you're crazy! }

[Can I get another system?]

{ Nope! }

Even when he knew the answer, he still hoped for it. The boy knew that the system he got was not just an ordinary system. It was a crazy and weird system who seemed to know nothing about what a system should do.

{ Ah, that's right! }, she shouted loudly.

{My name is Lin, nice to meet you! }
