2 Mishaaa

"Honeyyyyyy!!! I think Lucas is sick." Mom said. A few minutes later, a slightly fat but well-shaved and well-dressed man came in, he looked me in the eyes and said, "He's just faking it, I did that a lot to skip school." He said while eating a juicy piece of waffles with too much syrup than any doctor should ever advise.

"Dad!" I said as I jumped from my bed and hugged him tightly.

"Holy shit, this is serious, I think he hurt his head or something!" my father said, sounding very concerned.

"Stop with the jokes, I really missed you guys…" I said as I looked at the two of them, who both looked at each other, weirded out of their minds but at the same time they smiled and patted me on the back.

"Well I missed you too son, but you better get going, you'll miss your exams, and no sweet-talking will ever get you out of working for a living, I don't want no squatters in my house."

"The only sweet thing here is the amount of syrup you put in those waffles, hell you're dripping on the floor, who's going to clean up this mess!" mom said sounding slightly irritated. But this nagging, this bickering, and random awkward family moments… I missed them so much.

"Right exams, well those are pretty damn useless right now…" I said.

My dad immediately swung an open palm towards my head which I didn't even notice but still easily dodged. He looked at me weirdly, because that was probably the first time I ever dodged his sudden smacks from his perspective he then said, "No swearing in a house where the lord oversees."

'Lord? Sigh, how will I even explain to him what's about to happen.'

"Sorry sir, I'll watch my mouth, anyway, anyone knows what's the date today?" I asked.

"It's the twenty-second, august,"

"No, year, what year?" I asked. Dad looked at me strangely once again, "2018"

"Damn, first contact is just around the corner." The second slap I didn't try and dodge.

And it felt rather…well, enjoyable, he had a wide grin on his face this time, satisfied from the slap connecting "No swearing," he said with a devilish grin.

"Yes sir!"

"Anyway, you should go, you're late." He said, "Yeah, yeah, I should," I said and went down the stairs then stopped, I went back up, hugged them both, and said, "I really am glad to have met you, this time, it'll be different." I said then went down.

The two of them looked at each other and I could swear I heard them seriously talking about bringing psychiatric aid.

I shook my head as I walked out of my house and realized that the streets were still there, the ground and grass were still green, the skies were blue and the birds still flew. The whole world was breathing once again alive as it should be, away from that foul authority that descended upon this beautiful world and decided to destroy it.

'I don't know if this is going to work, but… let's try.'

"Mishaaa, Show Status Screen."

No reaction happened. Perhaps the system is still not live… or it's because I'm using her nickname.

"Massive Intelligent System of Aid and Assistance! Show status screen!" I said and immediately my eyes blurred as a familiar blue screen appeared in front of me.

[Massive Intelligent System of Aid and Assistance Enabled]

{Congratulations on being the first person to have achieved contact with the Massive Intelligent System of Aid and Assistance)

You have obtained the title, "First among the Many."

Would you like to see your Title Details?

Y/N?

"Title already? Yeah, why not."

First Among Many, you have a passive Exp Gain of 15%

'Huh, not bad, for a starting buff. Though it isn't much help early on.'

"Right, I request a nickname change, To Mishaaa."

Request Accepted, Massive Intelligent System of Aid and Assistance has been renamed Mishaaa.

"Good, now show me my status screen."

[Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted] [Redacted]

Owned Titles and respective passives and bonuses:

[First Among Many] +15% EXP

[He Who had Seen the End]. Reduced pressure effect from all foes that are under level 800

[He Who Devours Monsters]- SSS tier Skill, {Feast}

That's a powerful sounding skill, I thought, but when I looked around, there were a few people moving about. It's not yet the time for the First Contact, so if I were to use a skill, everyone here will freak the hell out. I might as well save the energy, I don't even know how long its cooldown is, nor its effects. I might as well wait and try it out when no one is around.

Also, I'm an S class potential now. Huh, I was barely a B class my past life, and it took me god's effort to increase my rank to A… how come I'm S class now?

Also, why are all my skills redacted… it's as if my body knows them, but the system hasn't approved them yet. my level is the same as a trash mob. But what the hell is this feast thing? And it's Triple S that's not something I had ever seen in my past life. I think the highest skill I've ever seen was hers… and it was only S.' I thought, and then reminded of her once again, I took a deep breath. It's okay, this time it won't go as terribly as it did last time.

'Mishaaa, can you tell me about the integration, when will it happen and when is the first point of contact,' though I didn't really need her to tell me since I already know, I wanted to make sure of something.

{Due to the severe lack of mana on planet Earth, Mishaaa's functionality has been greatly reduced.}

{Currently, Earth is still not fully adequate for Full Integration, in the next few integrations Earth Will be slowly introduced to higher forms of Mana so that it can be integrated fully into the Great System.}

{The First Point of Contact…[Redacted]}

'hmm, I kind of figured it out. Seems like Mishaaa itself isn't the one replying to me, but a backup system is in place. I can only get the status screen from Mishaaa herself since she is primarily responsible for the Great System…or, she is the Great System. But since Earth currently has zero mana, she isn't even bothering to answer me directly.'

Anyway, I don't really need to worry about this today, I still have a couple of weeks.

I still have one more chance, I can make things much better. I just need to be smart about how I go on about things. Though I have no damn clue on how to beat that white monster. But with my past knowledge, I should be able to sail through early contact and consolidate my standing.

I need money, and sadly I don't know any lottery numbers and wasn't interested in sports so gambling is out of the picture.

Nor can I manipulate the stock market this early, especially without sufficient money. All I can do is get to the first contact area first and get my hand on some mana crystals.

But judging by the date, it's still a bit early for that, I still have a couple of weeks before it happens.

Good, with a plan set up, I decided to head to the university. Exams and all that crap can eat my ass. Not like it's gonna be relevant in a month or two.

When shit hits the fan, it's everyone for the fences. But still, that doesn't stop me from wanting to go and meet a few good friends, and many an enemy.
