1 Chapter-1<*Source - I*> ( edited )

How did it all end like this?

Darkness... was all I could see around me...

Was it all a joke?

I don't get it... it all seemed so real...

Darkness, silence, emptiness.

How long has it been since I came to this place?

I don't know, I just know that I want to get out of this constant darkness... I want to listen to anything because this silence is driving me crazy...

My name?

I don't remember... I've been here so long that I no longer have knowledge about my past self. It's like something is blocking all my memories. I can only remember one thing and that is how I got to this place...

*** [Flashback] ***

It was an ordinary day and I was going back to apartment you were renting. For years I have lived alone because my mother died a long time ago, because of work tirelessly until you can't anymore. she was a good woman, kind and affectionate, a mother that anyone would like have.. but my father was everything contrary.

He was a bastard who abused her, he always took the money that my mother won so hard to be able to bet and buy more alcohol until one day she couldn't take it anymore and took out of the house. I was only 5 years old at the time but he understood the situation.

We first went to my grandmother's. We were there for six months until my father showed up to get money from my mother... that day she ended up in the hospital and my father in prison... it's a shame the judicial system is so bad. My father left a few months later and came looking for us once again. It was that same day that my mother decided to look for another place, one where he would never find us again.

The years passed and my mother started a relationship again. Everything was fine but one day, he disappeared. My mother was surprised but she understood what was happening when a bill arrived at our house and worst of all, it was in her name.

From that day, everything was worse for us but my mother did not give up, she went to work with all her might, to the point that there were days when she only came home to sleep. It was at that time that she learned how to cook for me and do housework to make her life a little easier. When I turned 16, I immediately went to a supermarket to work as a packer so I could relieve her of some weight but she refused, she just told me that she had to continue studying.

I assented to his words and I continued studying, although later I would regret this

decision...

Months passed and my school year was ending. Today the sun was cloudy and I felt a bad feeling.

I was walking home when I felt my cell phone start to ring. Without thinking twice I answered the call but when I heard the other person speak, I couldn't do anything but drop my cell phone.

Tears streamed from my eyes as I sped toward the hospital. At that time I didn't give a shit about my cell phone.

Mother...

She... she had had an accident at work...

I could only bite my lip as I increased the speed of my steps.

Why? Why is all this happening to us?

I could only curse our luck and whoever left us this kind of curse.

It took 15 minutes for him to get to the hospital and ask for her room number. Without thinking twice I walked towards that place and knocked on the door until I heard a man shouting ahead.

When I entered, I saw how a doctor was shaking his head while he looked at my mother, so I could only ask him about her situation. According to the doctor, she was so tired that while she was walking to her stall after the break, she took a wrong step and fell down the stairs, hitting her skull in the process. The doctor told me that she would most likely end up with memory problems.

I... didn't know what to do... so I called my family for help but to my surprise... nobody wanted to help me.

Why? Why does no one in our family want to help us

when my mother was always there for them?

The fury was getting to me but I had to resist it because I knew that my mother was much more important than getting into a fight with those idiots.

Another year had passed and now I was walking to the hospital. The expenses were catastrophic but luckily my mother had a savings account and the compensation from the company where she worked was good.

When I entered the hospital, I saw a large group of doctors running towards my mother's room but I was not worried because she was beginning to recover, although there were times when she did not recognize me.

I slowly walked over to where my mother was, only to hear the head doctor yelling at the nurses.

What is happening?

Only that I could ask myself but my eyes widened when I noticed how the sound came from my mother's room.

No...

I quickly ran over to that spot and flung open the door, only to see my mother's heart monitor beeping constantly.

No...

The chief physician gave me his condolences.

No Please...

One of her nurses gave my mother the wrong medicine.

Please stop...

what caused

NO!

that

She had a cardiac arrest...

Two weeks had passed since my mother left me. The hospital not only reimbursed me, but also compensated me for my mother's death. The responsible nurse was fired and locked up in jail... but none of that matters to me... none of that can make me get my mother back...

It was at that moment where I really discovered how important she was to me, not only because she was always by my side, but because she always supported me.

Today was my mother's funeral and to my surprise, my whole family came. I was happy at that time but after hearing her words my expression turned cold. They had only come for the "inheritance".

My fury was at its peak so I just told them to go to hell. Those bastards didn't help us, they didn't support us when we needed them most and now they wanted to take compensation for my mother's death.

It was at that moment that I understood that family is useless... they are only there when they need something but when you ask for help, they just watch how everything unfolds with a smile on their faces.

Another year passed and now I was at my graduation and as always, I was alone.

My life was monotonous, I studied, went to work, came home, slept and repeated. The only joy I had was reading Fanfic, Light Novels, Manga.

My romantic life wasn't the best... I wasn't ugly but I wasn't handsome either, I was just an ordinary person, although with the little time I had, I couldn't have had a girlfriend either.

Contact with my family no longer existed, although there were times

where I talked to my grandmother.

Today should have been a normal day, excluding the fact that it was my graduation day, but to my surprise, my surroundings seemed to have frozen.

[Overall POV]***

"What the fuck?!" I exclaimed as I looked around. The birds were frozen in midair, the people walking around me were ecstatic, I could even see how a man was about to touch a girl's butt.

The young man was looking in all directions in order to understand what was happening but he stood still when he heard a voice in his mind.

[Congratulations, young man. You have been chosen to be a part of something great, something you never thought possible]

"..." - the young man just stayed silent while he waited for the voice to continue because honestly, he didn't know how to react in a situation where practically everything was frozen.

[I was expecting some kind of response, a scream maybe…you are boring...]

"What are you?" - asked the young man.

[I'd better do it again... I feel like it wasn't as epic as he had planned... maybe that's the reason for his almost null expression...]

"You are ignoring me?" -the boy could only frown when he noticed how he was totally ignored

[Ahem! Congratulations young man, you have been chosen as the new Source user!]

But the voice continued to receive the same almost neutral response.

[Really nothing?! Not even a surprised expression?!]

"..."-the young man just kept silent while he thought about how similar this situation was. He remembered that he had read things like this in fanfics or light novels when he had free time, so the situation wasn't that strange to him.

[I still don't understand how humans managed to recover some memories...]

"What do you mean with that?" asked the boy with a clearly surprised expression.

[Sorry, I am not authorized to speak further on the subject]

"So you're like one of those 'gods' who give 'Systems' to people who are going to reincarnate?" - asked the boy curiously.

[Technically correct]

"But I'm not even dead" - muttered the boy.

[For now]

"..." - the boy just frowned. Although he was not satisfied with his life, it did not mean that he wanted to die, not when he still did not fulfill his mother's dream. that he is someone important.

[Don't worry, it's not that kind of death I'm talking about]

"What are you talking about?" - Asked the boy with a frown still on his face.

[First of all... do you agree to enter source? If you do, I will answer all your questions]

"What is source?" - asked the young man.

[Hmm... that question I can't answer unless you agree...]

"This is stupid"-the boy snorted while he shook his head-"If I don't know what Source is or you give me information... how is it possible for me to accept?"

[Hmm... you're right about that... I guess I'll give you a little incentive... in Source you'll be able to fulfill your dreams, EVERYONE]

"Everyone?" - asked the boy with surprise.

[Yes... it's even possible to get back what you lost] "!" - The boy just gave him a look full of surprise.
