Sis

Felix reached out to touch the blue see-through object but his hand simply went through it. He shook his head to try to clear things up and make sure that he wasn't hallucinating, but nothing changed. The object was still there and it always moved along his line of sight.

"What is this and what's going on?"

Suddenly he started hearing whispers from a corner when he turned around to see what was going on he was surprised to see 8 pairs of eyes on him. There were 4 men, 2 women, and 2 little boys. They all were dirty and basically wearing rags, he quickly understood that they were slaves.

The thing that surprised Felix was that they seemed to be treated badly, and more importantly what the hell was a kid doing here. Though it's true that Rome had many slaves their masters would usually treat them well.

He would understand the men being there since each Contubernium had two slaves that would help them around and take care of their pack animal. That was actually why each Centurion would who command a 'Century' but in reality, there were only 80 warriors in the unit, the rest were the 20 men that took care of each Contubernium. He looked at the 4 men closely and shook his head; he had never seen them around, meaning that they weren't part of his unit.

This scared him even more now that he was in an unknown moving cart with a batch of total strangers with a blue floating bubble thing that kept following his gaze. He stood up and looked at the slaves "Tell me where I am, who you are, and what is this thing."

As he was asking the questions the slaves turned to look at where he was pointing at and turned back to look at him in confusion. The two women looked at him with teary eyes and began to crawl towards him "I knew it, those idiots hit him in the head so hard that now he is seeing things."

One of the men nodded and grinned "Yeah but that's what he gets for doing nothing but yelling for his father. We even warned him that if he didn't shut up he would anger the slave trader."

Suddenly one of the women turned around and went to the man and smacked his arm "Dear, don't be so mean to this child. It can't be easy to have been sold into slavery at such a young age."

Felix looked at them and stepped away from the woman that was crawling towards him. She seemed too caring and it made him uncomfortable. He began thinking to himself 'What are they talking about? Why treat me as if I was some boy? I'm a freakin 20 year old for Jupiter's sake."

Suddenly he began to notice something that was wrong 'Wait I was sold to slavery? I was crying for my Father? They can't see the freakin bubble floating in the air? Why the heck is that woman so huge? And wait, why did my voice seem different?'

He looked down at his hand and saw that they seemed to be soft and smooth to make it worse they were actually little kid-sized. Then he noticed that he was also in black rags and not in his robe that he usually wore under his armor.

Felix began to touch his face and nearly passed out when he felt that his beard and mustache that he was so proud of had been replaced with nothing but perfectly smooth skin. He fell on his knees and looked around as he began thinking 'What's going on?'

The woman took her chance and quickly hugged the sad boy that seemed to still not understand that he had been sold and at the moment was on his way to being taken to a city to be sold by a slave trader.

Felix was surprised by the sudden move of the woman but he had to admit that it felt good. It helped him relax and try to understand the situation that was going on. Somehow something had happened and now he was in the body of a boy. He thought carefully 'Have I been cursed? Is it possible that all this has been due to some kind of sorcery?'

Then he turned around to look at the bubble and noticed that it had changed and now said something different. He slightly pushed the woman away and looked carefully at the bubble."

[System welcomes host, the System has been successfully installed and bound to host]

Then the bubble became black and nothing was written on it, he realized that he hadn't been hallucinating and that the blue rectangle was really there. More importantly, it had something to do with everything that was going on."

Once again he reached for it and had the same result "What are you, are you some sort of sorcerer that is communicating through this thing?"

[The System is offended by the host, how can you call it's board a thing.]

[System understands that the host is confused but first I have to ask something]

[Is it okay if the system interacts with the host as a voice in his ear, the current method is]

[A bit inefficient due to the limited space.]

Felix didn't quite understand but he nodded and in his mind responded "Alright"

Suddenly he heard a feminine voice in his ear ({System's Mental Link has been fully permitted. What may I help you with host?}}

He looked around to see if the one that was talking to him was the woman that was hugging him but he didn't see her lips moving. He went away from her and sat in the corner and began talking to the voice in his head with his thoughts 'First of all an explanation as to what is going on. Then I would like to know how you are reading my thoughts.'

{{ Well actually it's quite simple, you died and were put into a body in another world. As to what you've discovered the body that you are now in is from a little boy that was sold to slavery. As to why I can read your mind I have already explained I'm the Army General System and well I am now one with you.}}

Felix listened to the system's voice and wished that there was a physical body so that he could give her a good smacking 'What the hell do you mean that it's simple. You just said that I died how the hell did that happen? Was I let go by Pluto? How many of my companions have been sent here?'

{{I have no data on what happened before I was installed, the only reason that I know that you died is because it was told to me when I was installed. I also don't know if your companions were sent here.}}

He sat down and began pulling his hair "Alright then is there anything else that you know? You said that you are the Army General System what exactly does you mean?"

{{The Army General System is pretty much as the name says, I have the power to provide the host with an army. There are an infinite amount of different types of troops that can be unlocked with the use of AG points. These points can be acquired through certain general type actions by the player, through killing, and managing people. After the host has spent a certain amount of AG points the system will upgrade and provide more functions. There is also an equipment shop but they can only be used by the host and not by anyone else. Is there anything that isn't clear?))

Felix once again felt like punching the system 'First of all stop calling me host and just call me Felix as for the questions, yeah there are a few things, like I don't know, the whole thing! You expect me to believe that I have the power that can provide me with men that will follow me? Even if I had it what would I have to use this army for? Also, you said that the troops will be unlocked, why were they imprisoned?'

{{No, when I said unlocked I meant that I would make it possible for you to get them. Also just to clarify the one with the power to provide fighting men is me, I'm only helping you out since I'm kinda stuck with you. As for what you do with the army is none of my concern, my job is simply to supply you with them.}}

'Too good to be true, what do you have to gain from all this?'

{{Intertainment? To be honest I don't know I just feel like that's what I should be doing. Then there is also the fact that I don't want to be stuck in that black space again. I figure that if you die then I will go back so if I help you get stronger with an army I might be able to stay here a bit longer.}}

He nodded as he remembered the dark space, it was as if he was floating in water but at the same time had no feeling in his body. 'I hope you are not lying to me so you said something about a new world, is there anything you know about it?'

{{No}}

'Right, well first let's come up with a name for you let's see you say that you are a system and that sounds like sis so that's what I'm going to call you, always wanted one haha. Let's see how exactly do I 'unlock' these troops?'

{{Well, first you need to unlock some troops which would cost you 2500 AG points. Luckily I have a gift box for you that has some things to get you started, maybe it has something that you might need. Would you like to open it?}}

Felix quickly nodded 'Of course kinda in the need to escape from slavery you know. I doubt that the slave dealer is alone; they usually hire men to guard their cargo.'

Meanwhile, the slaves were looking at a 10-year-old boy in the corner of the carriage going through a series of emotions and nodding his head from time to time. The two women looked at the boy with watery eyes as they thought "This poor child is trying his best to comfort himself."
