[Starting of a team! - Part 2]

-----Alex's POV-----

[Hello Alex!]

'...'

'Okay...let me process this…,...,...,..., I never saw Mike speaking out loud so, Hello?'

[Hello Alex!]

'What is this?'

[I am an assistant to help you work your way through the system.]

'What is the system.'

[The System is an ability given to 5 people in every species. The System is a way in order to quickly decide the outcome of the intergalactic war.]

'...,...,..., Intergalactic war?'

[As soon as the dominant species of a solar system escape its confines, 5 random individuals from that species are selected and they are given the system. If the intergalactic war is allowed to go without the intervention of the system, the death toll will be massive. The main function of the system is to sort all the species in a ranking so that the entire universe can co-exist.]

'How can the system effect the intergalactic war.'

[Try opening the World Objectives tab]

'World Objectives...'

'...'

'Okay, I get it so basically rather than making entire species fight against each other, the system users determine the result of the battle. What about Mike and Reme'

[Mike was the first system user to successfully bind the system to himself. When a system is bound to someone then if he dies against the hand of another system user the number of system users against other species decreases by 1.]

'So there are three active system users among Humans...'

[Yes]

'Anything else I should know about?'

[Yes, try the commands, Status, and Menu and start exploring]

'Status...'

[Level: 49]

[HP: 4900/4900]

[Str: 45]

[Int: 85]

[Con:25]

[Points: 0]

'....right...Menu'

-----Mike's POV-----

As soon as I transferred the system to Alex he seemed to be in a daze. I let him figure that out as I leave the room and went to Reme's room.

*knock*

Reme opened the door a crack to see who it was and upon seeing it was me, she pulled me inside and closed the door.

"So how are you doing?" I asked her as I sat on a chair.

"I am doing far better than what I imagined what it would be like 6 hours ago." She sat on the bed and looked at me. She had pink hair, 'Again, a bit weird', and had a noble look going for her. High cheekbones and a sharp look in her blue eyes.

"Did you go through the interface?"

"Yeah, I did!" Her reply was quick and enthusiastic.

'Seems like she has mostly recovered from her ordeal at the research base. The gamer's mind is a powerful tool, I never noticed how in tune I am with my dark side. I hesitated at first when I had to kill an alien but now it's like every life is just a tool. Like that kid, 7-days old but I can't wait for the next 18 years to watch him grow and then help me. I guess I know what will happen to the remaining 2 unborn kids...I hope Alex understands but I guess he is more analytical than that...'

"Mike...MIKE!!" I shook and almost fell down from my chair as I notice Reme screaming my name.

"Ouch...what happened?" I asked.

"Nothing...you just spaced out...is everything okay?"

"Yeah... Let's go we need to meet with another person with the system..." I took her hand and drag her back to my room where Alex was standing right where he was.

'Probably fiddling with the interface.'

I indicated to Reme to take a seat whereas I stepped in front of Alex and said, "Done?"

Alex's gaze focused on me again after which he closed his eyes and stood there silently for a while. I shared a glance with Reme before shrugging and taking a seat.

It took two minutes for him to come to terms with everything and then with a sigh he sat on the bed next to Reme. Reme looked shaken but managed to withhold her struggle inside as Alex opened his eyes and said, "Yeah!"

"You know the fate of the next users born with the system."

"Yeah"

"Arrange for it as soon as possible then, because we need a team, and to grow stronger because I don't like the odds of 0.3%"

"Yeah, I'll get it done."

"Have you thought about the next members?"

"No! I can't guarantee they won't be swayed by personal power."

"So what do we do!"

"Nothing for now!"

'Reme seemed curious about our conversation but I guess she didn't feel confident enough to interject something at the moment. Some days of peace before she gets her bearings right and the process to get something done becomes more complicated.'

Alex looked at me and asked, "Why did you choose me by the way, you can't be sure I won't betray you?"

"I took a calculated gamble. If I couldn't fool you and you suspected me as a spy you would have probably killed both me and Reme. Then Humanity would have lost two System users and that seems like a very bad end. If you were power-hungry and killed both me and Reme for coins or our abilities, then Humanity would have to try very hard to make ends meet. But, if you understood the gravity of the situation, and were okay with helping then I would gain a powerful ally, we can create a team very quickly and quickly clear the world objectives to increase our own survival chances."

"By the way, get used to making decisions based on their worth to humanity. You can't let morals come in the way"

"Yeah, I got that, rest for now, and get ready for the mission. Reme is not that strong so she needs to be put into general training. We get deployed for the mission in 2 days..."

'Aye Aye Captain!'

"Sure"

After clearing everything up Alex just turned and walked out of the door. I turn to Reme who was looking at me with a weird face…

"What?"

"Nothing!!" She shook her head furiously and quickly ran out of my room.

'Silly girl, guess I like her better silly than scary smart, like Jane'

*Shivers*

Author's Note:-

Alright, I guess many people have doubts regarding MC's bipolar personality. So I'll try to paint a word picture for you guys, Imagine a world personal strength means everything, and you are someone with a worthless ability and have been an outcast for most of your life. Now the system eliminates the negative psychological ailments, so that leaves you all alone but without depression and anxiety. That is the reason why I try to paint the MC as a person who talks or rather thinks a lot because he is used to talking to himself...
