1 Death

???:"w-where am I?"

???:"I'm pretty positive I died"

In the void,or at least what one would assume to be the void since there seems to be no color in this dark world,the soul of a girl could be seen floating around,unlike normal souls,this soul had a golden glow to her,as for what the reason for that...who knows?

It didn't take long before a riple appeared in the space,and out of it came a white looking dumpling fluff ball with slightly pink tips making it seems so adorable and pinchable,it really,really tempted people to watch to pinch it

System:"you're dead"

???:"thanks,I kinda figured that out"

System:"aren't you going to freak out"

???:"nah,there's no point,like you said,I'm dead"

System:"do you know what I am?"

???:"with all the stories I've read,if you're not some sort of god,then you must be a system,if not,then I honestly have no other clues"

System:"you're correct,I am indeed a system"

???:"may I ask what you want with me"

System:"I thought you said you've read many such stories"

???:"well yeah,but it doesn't necessarily mean I'm a lucky person"

System:"well yes you are,would you like to sign a contract with me"

???:"yes"

System:"no hesitation,I haven't even mentioned if there were going to be benefits or what type of ob you're going to be doing"

???:"I don't see the point,you see,I'm already dead,If not for you appearing,I would either stay in here forever,or fade with time,besides I get to go to different worlds,be different people,and see all the things I would have never seen in my life even if I wanted to"

System:"...this is the first time I've met someone like you,most people try to gain an advantage of the situation on the basis that they died,or...for special situations"

???:"nah,I don't see the point,even if this is some scheme where I'm not promised rebirth but I'm instead swallowed up by some main god system or something,it would still be worth it on account that i've seen a lot,and that without meeting you my soul would have either been destroyed,or maybe I won't be myself anymore after a couple thousand years of floating around"

System:"don't worry,there is no such deep scheme,and you don't even have to do much"

???:"No wonder,I felt like you were different,in most books I've read the system tries to advertise it's advantages so the host will agree to sign the contract,but you didn't do that"

System:"i'm already pass such age,I'm currently on vacation,and just need a source to go to the small worlds for enjoyment,which is why you don't need to do anything"

???:"oh,thank you system,I must be really lucky to meet you"

System:"Even if not me,you're act of saving people at the cost of your life would have definitely earned you merit points with any system,even me,after you're done with your questions,you get a gift box and a newbie pack"

???:"really,that's great,besides I didn't do much,even without me,I'm positive someone else would have saved everyone"

System:"...yeah...right"

System's thoughts:"there were plenty of people when you died,and yet besides you no one came forward,I understand though,I mean seriously,what kind of person is nice enough to take a grenade for the sake of humanity"

(Back to a few moments before our protagonist died)

In a densely packed mall,you could see a lot of people surrounding the mall with anxiety,horror,and all such negative emotions on their face,this is because on top of the mall,there is an incident going on

There is a man standing on top of the mall with a grenade in his hands,and next to him are twenty people,although they weren't tied,under the threat of the grenade,they were all staying in place,the man wasn't planning on surviving and you could tell by the look in his face,he even planned to take a few people down with him,as for why...who came here for that,everyone wants to move on to the real story...with these twenty people was a girl who looked to be around twenty years old,this was out protagonist,she was watching the man's every move with caution and like everyone else,she wasn't really planning on stepping out,but seeing that some of the people near her were less than thirteen,she felt it was a waste for their life to be ended so soon

The man on the other hand had started the timer for the grenade,everyone could only look in trepidation as the two minutes on the grenade started counting down,out of the twenty people, four mothers got down to hug their sons and daughters while trying to console them,the children having no idea of what's going on could only look in confusion as their mother's cried,seeing this seen,our protagonist couldn't help but feel her nose sour,as an orphan,she didn't have any parents but she never let this bother her as she focused on her studies instead,she waited till the timer was at three second then she jumped on the man,leading to them both falling of the railing,three seconds later,the grenade exploded mid-air leading to there being no casualties besides the crazy man and the lovely little girl who saved them all

Everyone below and above watched this scene with amazement as they were surprised by the girls act of bravery and overall stunned at the situation,the last thought of the girl before she died was 'at least I did something good,in my next life,I hope I have parents'. Although the girl died sadly,there was a grand funeral for her(even though they couldn't retrieve her body)and she went down as a hero for generations to come,the reason her soul was glowing gold is because all the people she saved,under the shock,decided to change for the better so as to not let the girls efforts of saving them come to waste,due to this,there were countless good people of that generation leading to a better earth,though world peace never became a thing,safety and mental health,as well as protecting the earth was put into more consideration.

(back to the space with the system)

System's thoughts:"honestly,this is my first time getting such a nice host,after all the other ones I've met,and all the people they befriended in the small worlds,I thought nice people didn't exist,at least not to the level of this host in front of me"

???:"thank you very much for giving me this chance system"

System:"uhm...no problem?"

System's thoughts:"maybe it's because i haven't meet such a nice host in a long time,but I feel like she's too nice,let me check her info...(2 minutes later)...oh,that's the problem,her EQ is basically non-existent,and if it was,it'd probably be in the negatives"

Due to growing up with no parents,out dear protagonist only followed books,she was also very,I repeat very straightforward leading to people believing she's sharp-tongued,it's not like she didn't have any friends,but her brain automatically blocks out anything that doesn't have to do with the sunect she's learning,so even though there's been a lot of teachers and students who have seen through her nature and have tried to help her become more self aware...let's just say it didn't work,she's the type of person who'd be calm even when kidnapped, 1)because she didn't realized she was kidnapped as she's to busy studying 2)she doesn't understand what it means to be kidnapped and 3)she doesn't see anything wrong with it because she mistook them for being students or teachers and assumed they were on a field trip

Lucky for her though,she's the author's baby so no bad luck befell her,besides the time when she died.

System's thoughts:"seriously,she was once kidnapped when she was only thirteen years old,at that time she thought she was on a field trip after looking at her environment from raising her head out of the thick book she was reading,she was so calm and steady no matter what the kidnappers did or said to the point where they creeped themselves out from making assumptions and even turned themselves in...that day,the policemen and women laughed for the longest time,and her teacher who came to file a report two days ago when she got missing could only shake her head as though she expected this,while this girl right her didn't realised anything different and even asked her teacher if they were back from the field trip leading to her teacher and everyone in a police station to burst out in laughter while she stood there not understanding why"

???:"Alright system,I'm ready to sign the contract"

System:"..."

???:"system?"

System:"r-right,yes,the contract...let's sign it"

???:"How do I sign it"

System:"you just put your hand on my head and i'll transfer it to you mentally,then just control your brain to sign it"

???:"Oh,alright"

About two seconds later the contract was signed

???:"wow,I feel a deeper connection with you system"

System:"of course,also you can communicate with me in your mind now''

???:'like this'

System:'yes'

???:"oh yeah system,you said something about gift packs?"

System:"right...here you go,you can open them"

In front of her appeared two boxes,the one on the left was a light blue colored box that seemed as though a clear stream was running through it,while on the left was a black box with purple and golden strips marking its exquisite outline

???:"wah,so pretty"

System:"yes,their pretty,now please open them up"

???:"oh,alright"

She opened the blue box first,which is the newbie gift pack,causing three items to pop out, 'One skill card', 'one beauty dan' and '1,000sp' without further ado,she opened the second black box,which manifested due to her great karma,causing five items to pop out, 'soul bound magical space','peach tree','spirit spring','learning center',and '5 food selections'

???:"system,I understand the first four,the spirit spring,and got a basic idea on what the 'peach tree' is,but what are the 'learning center' and '5 food selections' "

System:"The learning center is like a house located in your space that increases your learning ability once your in it,it can stimulate any environment allowing you to adapt faster and like the name says,it a place to learn skills and anything else you want to learn,it was specifically given a name,because it automatically injects you if you forget to eat that way you won't be super weak even after staying in there for a longer time, the 'peach tree' is the first peach tree in the world,it the origin of peach trees,the peaches from the tree can detoxify most poisons,but not all of them,as if that were to happen,bodies built specifically towards poison detoxification would be worthless and then seize to exist,besides detoxification,it can also add two points to a person's beauty or handsomeness,of course the more beautiful you are,the less obvious it is,by the way it only works the first time a person eats the fruit,the '5 food selections' is a card that let's you pick any five edible things you want,and they'll always be following you in every world,the five choices will be in their own special space bag,but can be put into your space if you want to,their appearance changes to fir the world you're currently in"

???:"wow,I got such awesome gifts to begin with,that's amazing,so system,what's my mission in these worlds"

System:"you don't really have to do anything as I currently don't need more points,but most of the characters you'll be transmigrating into usually met that scummy male that although didn't ruin their life,scared them for life,you can chose to get back at them and let them see that their choice was wrong,besides that,there isn't really anything else I can think of"

???:"Oh,so like,I have to get revenge or something,but what if it was the original owners fault for what happened"

System:"It's not,firstly their character settings are set this way,they didn't get to chose it,secondly if grouped,they'd belong to the misunderstood side characters,not the villainess,although some might be made out to be one,and not tragic side characters either,they were pretty much misunderstood by the male lead,second male lead,or maybe the villainess leading to them losing a few friends and having a bit of trouble,but not enough to directly change their lifestyle,they still live the same way they did before,just kind off with less friends,that's about it,but characters like that are usually born in decent family conditions,and the only times they're made out to be the villainess is when their family conditions is better than the female leads,or limits the female leads in some way"

???:"oh~,wow so not only do I get these amazing gifts,I also don't have to do anything,it's like a vacation"

System:"I did say I was on one"

???:"Right,my bad"

System:"would you like to use the 'skill card' know?,and also what do you pick for the five food options"

???:"Before I chose what skill to learn,I first want the information on the world I'm going to,and I hope that'll be the case before every world..oh,I also want the memories of the original owner before every transmigration as well if that's possible"

System:"That's doable,so before I transfer the information,what five options do you want"

???:"My first choice is ice cream,second is bubble tea(bobba),third is milk candies like the white rabbit candy,fourth is milkita in every fruit flavor,and my fifth option is all kinds of chips from earth"

System:"..."

???:"I realized the loophole in what you said about the card,you said I could chose five options,and from your tone it didn't necessarily have to be from earth,which means I can group everything maor in earth as one selection,meaning I can just pick Ice cream and have all the earthly ice cream flavors rather than pick just one flavor"

System:"since my system isn't malfunctioning,it means you're correct,I got to say,you're the first host...person in general to notice that,none of my past hosts or system friends have noticed the flaw in this"

???:"That's because I'm a foodie,so I naturally paid more attention to what you were going to say about this card when I saw the word food in it"

System:"...Okay let's move on to the story so you can choose what skill you want to learn before we go"

???:"Okay,oh,I want to ask,will I be keeping my name?"

System:"don't worry host,you will be"

???:"that's great"

Her name is Xin Bai Wei,adults usually call her xin'er, her friends call her weiwei,and as for who is going to call her xiao bai in the future...who knows
