"Allie, we will be friends forever, right?" soft and innocent was coming out from a young Roke. It was an unusual cloudy day. Facing him was a boy the same age with unusual golden eyes and black hair.

"I'm sorry. We could no longer be friends." Without emotions in his eyes the boy coldly answered. his answers strangely blended within the gloomy surroundings.

"But why? You said that I was also your most precious person." Tears started to form from Roke's eyes as he looked at the cold boy.

"Then why didn't you look for me?"

Walking away, the boy with golden eyes felt like he would disappear into thin air. Roke started running after him but he cannot seem to reach. As the boy's silhouette started fading away, he slumped down and desperately called for his name.

"Allie! Wai-"

Gasp. Cough. Cough. Feeling out of breath he intended to know what is happening only to be freaked out.

"You're finally awake." A mass of unknown dark thing is pressing unto his chest.

"Wahhhhhhh!"

"Wahhhhhhh! Hey! Why'd you have to go and scream like that."

Scared out of his wits, Roke hurriedly scrambled away from the unknown creature.

"What are you? Who are you?! Where am ?!" uncomprehending the current situation frantically asked questions.

"Easy with the questions, will 'ya. First of all, I am your system, I am called Greta and we are in Greesia."

"Greesia?" waking up from his trance, Roke finally looked at his surroundings.

Lushes greens and a thick forest. The beginning forest where every adventurer first sets foot into, Wanderlust.

"I'm finally in Greesia." Tears of joy and anticipation rolled down his cheeks. After years of bad luck and hard work of no result, he can finally set foot in the alternate world. Greesia, a world beyond the portal. Not most is known in the world. All information about it has only been seen in the system. The forest's name was also just indicated in the system's built-in map. All creatures and things within it can be truly compared to a game. With strange plants, animals and monsters. No civilization is yet known. People are trudging very slowly because many things related to the world is still unknown. Unknown dangers are lurking among adcentures.

"All systems given to adventurers are described as panels with the word Unknown, but you seem to be different, what are you?

"Finally paying attention to me?" with a smug look on his face, the black cloud-like entity began telling its origins. "The systems you described being panel like is the oldest system given at random. I am a special system with multi-purposes. The old systems only focus on improving one thing, I on the other hand I can improve everything that you lack, an all-rounder. I have many functions and most important of all is I can fight side by side with my host."

"Woah."

"Hmm. Hmm. I'm the best right?"

System points. Points gathered by carrying tasks given by the system. Harder tasks mean higher points. Points can also be gained by collecting rare plants and monsters. Rarer is better. It can be exchanged for anything as long as it is sufficient.

What a convenient system. As long as I am careful and bring out the best out of it, it can help me find Allie.

"By the way. How did I come here?"

"That is a thing I don't know. As soon as I wake up, I was already bound to you as my host."

"Strange. Why was I given a system after all these years?" Not dwelling on the topic any longer, he began to move further into the forest. It does not matter as long I can already start searching for Allie. People might not understand how he can do anything just for one person but Allie is the only person he can call his family. Allie is the first person who ever extended his hands and cared for him as an equal and as a person. Suddenly cut off from him left him a strange feeling of uneasiness and longing.

"Hmmm~ hmmm~"

Staring at the system humming beside him, he suddenly thought that it is quite cute. Looking at it closely is looks like a balloon with outgrown little paws and feet. He also noticed three horns on its head and the tail at it's back.

"Greta."

"Yes."

"What are you, really?"

"I already told you. I'm your system, duh." Looking at Roke as if he is the dumbest person ever, he gave an obvious answer.

"Oh also, why are you indicated as a 'dark system' in you panel?"

"I don't know. I cannot remember." Greta disinterestedly answered.

"I see."

Averting his eyes from the black mass. He carefully made his was forward into the forest.
