Ch 7: Starter and Bonds…

Looking at this display about my system. What a very interesting concept.

It seems that this mixed world isn't the only place I'll be going to.

—————————

[ Ding! ]

[ System Detects strong intervention with the plot by the Host! ]

[ Would you like to claim the Starter Gift! ]

[Accept!] [Decline!]

—————————

Hoh— So it was able to identify the changes I made before I got this cheat. Starter Gift hmm…

I wonder what I'll get.

'Accept!'

—————————

[ Adaptable Body Acquired! ]

[ All Affinity Acquired! ]

[ 3000 Points Acquired ]

[ System Function: Inventory Unlocked (3-slots available) ]

—————————

Hmm… the Adaptable Body—and the All Affinity sounds good. Just how good though.

'System tell me what I just got?'

After this question in a mechanical voice, the system responded.

—————————

{ Yes Host! Adaptable Body is as it sounds. A body capable of adapting. Once the Host is exposed to challenging conditions or heavy stimulus with time adapt to those circumstances. And although Humans are limited by their race, in terms of how much they are capable of, as for when the Host tries to go beyond that limitation if done so consistently can go past that boundary.

Whereas, All Affinity grants the Host full compatibility with whatever power system the Host travels to. Such as the Host being able to use all elements of the world at the time of arrival in a magic-themed verse. It also means that any item or artifact is compatible with the Host, like Divine or Demonic Weapons. As you essentially have an affinity for absolutely anything.

3000 Points are self explanatory and can be used for whatever the Host intends.

As for the new System Function, the slots available can be upgraded 1000 Points per a slot }

—————————

I see— All Affinity will grant me compatibility with anything ranging from weapons, items, and whatever types of power exist in whatever world I go to. Whereas the main function of going to other world just makes me obscure to the World's Will and possible wrath, to being able to even use their power system in the first place. They really sound similar, but different in their own way that can be helpful to me.

As for Adaptable Body— it's quite useful seeing as the moment I leave for other worlds, I'd either reincarnate with a new family or transmigrated back as a 6-years old, which is my current age. Which is also the time I binded my system. And I noticed one aspect that is a major flaw to me leaving.

I'm not sure if it's just me, my body, or my mind, but when I was reincarnated my memories of the past have been more and more— cloudy. To the point that I have early childhood memories of my previous life completely gone—

They weren't anything big, but— if my guess is right. My brain is too overloaded with too much content that it's causing my brain to be overworked as I regress in one way to another my underdeveloped body is going overdrive to fit my already adult-mind.

And if I travel too many times who knows how much I'll forget and whether or not I will lose myself.

Adaptable Body might help lessen the impact— but it's most likely not as effective as I'd expect.

Afterall, at the moment of arrival whether it be reincarnated or transmigrated back in my 6-year old body, it might entail that I won't unlock my powers before arriving yet. As I need to 'adapt' to my former powers as well as the power of the World I arrived in.

The consequences of losing my memory outweighs my sense of importance to my abilities.

As my ego, my personality are formed by my memories. More so my core memories during childhood that makes up my sense of self. Without it means that I'll likely be different to how I am and that not just my plans but myself is more volatile to change.

Well, there is still time for when me to decide if I want to leave for another World.

Anyways, the inventory function is a new one. It might be helpful for storing the useless or good things I get from the Lottery or weapons that I can't exactly use or show in public umu…

"Kazami-kun, Are you okay?"

"Hmm—"

Hiroto dissolved from his thought as the desk mate to his right, Satou calls out to him worriedly and innocently.

Putting my attention to Satou whenever I look at her it feels comforting, literally she seems adorably cute, like a cuddly-bear I could just hug.

"Ah! Yes is something wrong, Satou-chan"

Answering her question.

"Satou!?~ (⁄ ⁄•⁄~⁄•⁄ ⁄)"

For some odd reason she was blushi— Oh, I forgot Japanese honorifics and culture worked this way. First names are only used by close-relative. Last names for strangers or people you're not close too.

"Ah my bad! Is it no good!—"

Hmm— chance.

I could use this situation to get close to her.

"No it's okay— to call me— Sat~ou

૮(˶˃ᆺ˂˶)ა"

"Oh, hehee~. And what did you want to ask me again Satou-chan?"

Realizing she reached out to me for something I turned this conversation back.

"Ah! Ano— Class is already over."

Hmm— Hiroto confused looked around. No one in sight. As Satou continued.

"And I can just see you looking in the air. So you see I was worried—

(〃 O ▽ O 〃 )⊃"

Hiroto was speechless.

Who is this little-animal… her face changes a lot… but it's beyond cute. It's like a cuddly-little hamster who you just can't help but fluff. Nothing like in the series but just as cute as how she was portrayed.

"Ah! Yep— sorry for worrying you"

Almost forgot what she was talking about as I was stunned by her cute expressions.

Hmm—

"Umm— Satou-chan… do you—want to go— home together"

Oh sh*t—this is embarrassing as f*ck. I kept messing up my words. Keep in mind I never interacted much with other people as I was too addicted to my hobbies. So, I did not—have many or—any friends at all.

I thought that speaking to my online friends makes me a 'social' person but… I guess not.

"Wahh— ano. Umu— o(⸝⸝º~º⸝⸝)>o"

Oh yeah! Raising a grin at her accepting to go together.

A good time to form a strong bond at an early age…

As I made this appointment with Satou. I felt something strange locking onto me. As I'm often sensitive of when people are paying attention to me I can't help but notice it like instinct or intuition of mine.

Looking around I don't see anyone but Satou.

Hmm—weird…

"You wanna go now Satou-chan!"

I asked not wanting to stay any longer.

"Ah! Hai! ヽ(˶0~0˶)ﾉ"

Raising her hands adorably. As I smile at her response making her blush even more.

Walking side-to-side as I head to drop her off by her home first, hopefully without that aunt of hers at home.

The sun just about to come down as a orange-yellow-ish light engulf the atmosphere. A beautiful sunset.

A beautiful world huh— Hiroto thought.

(Authors Note: Yep I definitely felt wonky on this one, I'm having a lot of trouble depicting the characters to match the series. Also I'm trying to balance the system as much as I can. And I'm feeling immense amounts of Writers Block about how to progress. Also the dialogue is cringing me the f*ck out, it's like trying to get in the mind of an anime girl to try to portray how they might talk or think like. It's sorta weird or per se awkward for me doing that for female characters considering I'm a man.

Anyways I might update most likely once a week now, mostly due to this issue, so I will have more thinking time to see if I could do a better job on how this story will progress rather than just coming up with the development right on the spot which I'll be delayed with seeing as I have trouble executing the story or to the way I intended or wanted.

I might also read more novels to get a reference on how other do dialogue, their techniques, amongst other things that make their novel popular that I might be able to imitate for my fanfic. So with that it means I might make changes to any chapters as early as the beginning or the current chapters.

Lastly, I'm also busy with other things in life, so… that once a week update might even be extended. But I might be sure to come back. If not, I'll probably do a rewrite or a new fan fic. At least whilst there's nothing holding me back. Like some thousand page novel that I find interesting not caring for whether it's a Chinese novel with broken English, or some other reading-related hobbies that I get addicted to, making me hold up on updates. That is all!)
