Chapter 2: Strange system

           "System?" Even though Agwa read a lot of novels before crossing, and rebirth with golden fingers was her favorite genre, she never once had a delusion that it'd happen to her. Transmigration was already an absurd experience, but to add to that was a system!.

         "God! how much do you love me!!" Agwa screamed while grinning.

After venting her excitement, she tried to communicate with her backing (system).

         "Can I trouble Mr. System to explain your function?" Agwa carefully asked, we don't want our backing running away. For all I know I was selected because I am docile, harmless and obedient.

The communication was effective and a cold mechanical sound immediately sounded in Agwa's mind.

         [This system comes from the AXVII galaxy and is an auxiliary program for creating strange stars.]

         [Main function: The host achieves a specific goal to obtain star coins and star coins can be exchange for skill, item and blind box]

         [Current star coin: 5 star coin]

         "System, where did the 5-star coin come from? I haven't done anything yet. Please don't tell me that's my newbie package, too little." she asked indignantly, forgetting she's supposed to be docile and obedient.

        [This System gives you 5 star coins for vomiting, congratulation host please continue your hard work.]

When Agwa got the answer, she breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately not a newbie package, but she did a double take when it registered what the system said.

      "What!?.... Why the F- would you give points for vomiting?" Agwa speechlessly asked.

       [The system asked for the host to figure it out herself]

Agwa is dumbfounded, she now knows how all those protagonists are feeling, and to think, she thought, how ungrateful they are for not appreciating their golden finger. She recollected herself and asked another question.

       "Then just a small question, which I hope can be answered, Mr. System. Does my time travel have anything to do with you?"

        [Yes]

        "Then you're the reason I'm DEAD." Agwa quickly caught a loophole and tried to trap the system. A former customer service representative never let go of opportunities for more incentives.

       [NO]

       "That's a strong no." she immediately rebutted.

      [This system has no emotion. Please ask the host to not assume, you are entirely responsible for your death. The system found that you had chronic sleep deprivation and consumed too much caffeine that exceeded the baseline for human dietary exposure, which led to cardiac arrest while asleep]

      "Oh... I understand. Then why did you choose me?" Agwa asked resignedly, seems like she can't take any advantage.

    [Luck]

Strike two, Agwa was speechless, She decided not to act against her system, or she'd be unlucky. She still wanted to ask if she could go back, but clearly there's no way if it's luck that brought her here. Fortunately, the history of this world's science and technology was the same, or she'd lose it without the internet. The only difference is the cultural industry, but it's not behind that of earth. There are many things that are missing tho.

     "Mr. System, I know it's luck that you've chosen me, but must you choose this body that's impossible to turn over. How am I gonna whitewash and rise to the top when I'm shot dead before I even started." Speaking of which, she still can't get over the fact that she started HELL MODE.

     [Again, entirely your responsibility. The system quickly scans your ideal body and image, upon searching through all Aguah's in the world; this Aguah matches your ideal]

     "Then why must you search for a person named Aguah? why can't it be Catherine or ana?" Agwa asked, but she suddenly felt like the system was looking at her like an idiot.

    [The person should have the same name as you for the body to be able to hold your soul]

Can't take an inch. Agwa gave up and decided to focus on a more important matter. Before she could ask another question, she heard another mechanical sound.

    "Ding"

    [Congratulation to the host for obtaining the privilege of a newcomer- Blind box *1]

With the sound, Agwa completely forgot her question and got distracted with the reward.

    "In any case, I will ask Mr. System to help me for the rest of my life. Please take care of me."

The speed of changing attitudes was fast. Agwa checks the reward and ponders the function of the system. The name is Star- making system and the purpose is to create strange stars which is unusual, add to the fact that she was given points for vomiting.

  "I wonder how many points I could get from farting," Agwa jokingly said.

    [50 points]

"WAIT WHAT!!? There's point for farting?" The shocked Agwa asked, clearly not understanding why she could get points from that.

     "System, do you have a misunderstanding about star making? even comedians won't easily fart. A human being should at least have dignity." Agwa asked angrily.

    [Ask the host to use her brain. Certain action were just for earning points]

    "Can you change it like points from reputation and the like? isn't that the reason why you're a star making system?" Agwa asked confusedly.

    [Due to a large amount of reputation points being earned easily, especially upon reaching the top, the balance is messed up causing the world to collapse and the us system being deleted. The top decided to change the rules, prompting now's new way of earning points]

    "Still can't explain, why must you give points for inexplicable and shameless action" she indignantly rebutted.

   [Restriction]

Agwa speechlessly stops, she doesn't want to have another heart attack. She ignore the system and looked at the reward to try to pacify her aching heart. She continued to look at the panel, and there was a large area of darkness with only one square little box lit up.

           [Hangover- 20 star coins]

           [Vomiting- 5 star coins]

           [eating spicy food - 20 star coins]

The rest of the options are pitch black and cannot read the text, and they need to be unlocked. Currently, only hangovers, vomiting and eating spicy food can get star coins.

     " System let's talk. My ideal is to be a delicate, pure and fragrant goddess, with this list you are turning me into a drunkard bloated bitch, you know, a star is all about watching their figures and diet."

     " It's not that I'm against drinking and spicy food. I LOVE IT, but in no time this pretty face will look MASSIVE. Beside this body is a singer; spicy food will damage my vocals." Agwa explained, trying to knock some sense out of her backing. Unfortunately, her system stayed silent.

   "For the maintenance of vocal cords, singers will try to eat as little spicy food as possible and some strict singers will even avoid spicy food. As for hangovers that deviated from the control of facial expressions, which was not an image that public figures conveyed."

    "System, you seem to make me do things that celebrities should not do." Agwa continued to reason, but her system was not responding.

    "You still owe me 20 star coins for a hangover." Agwa immediately lost patience with the unresponsive system.

   [Denied, dizziness was caused by your soul adjusting to the new body]

     "I thought you were dead." Deadpan Agwa said.

    [Ask the host to explore on your own]

The system answered as expected. Agwa felt she needed a good plan. On the bright side, the stars must spread positive energy. Otherwise the country would not be able to tolerate it, but it's not like it can't be operated. There are many plans in her mind. I will not leave up to my reputation as a top agent if I can't be successful with this face. She has a lot of abacus. Although she got an honest appearance before transmigration, she is not a good person to be able to fool customers into buying the most rejected product.

    "Can I open the blind box now? Agwa asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, a new set of panels appeared in her vision. There's six prizes in total.

          [Perfect vocals non-lyrics]

          [Perfect hour glass body]

          [Title :A drunkard that never gets drunk]

          [Good day IU song]

          [Good bye my love Ailee]

          [Special Prize: Piano poet Frédéric Chopin's piano skills]

Agwa was immediately excited, six prizes in total, but before she was happy the system poured cold water on her enthusiasm.

        [Please asked host to think of pressing the button at the right corner to randomly get a prize]

      " I'm sorry what!? all six were mine, right?" she asked confusedly.

     [Again, ask the host to not "ASSUME"]

Agwa was speechless .

       "It's my blind box. You reward it yourself," she fights back

       [Ask host to diligently work hard to earn points]

Agwa's about to lose her shit with this unreasonable system. She abruptly stood up and walk to her bathroom.

      "Gotta wash my hand, then, for some luck." She open the sink and repeatedly washed her hand while muttering intangible words.

        "My goal is only one, and I must win the special prize."

All the prizes were dazzling, but the most tempting was Chopin's piano skills, who are we kidding?, the piano theme of "Nocturne" is all his creation, he is the "poet of piano", with Chopin's skill, even if Agwa didn't join the entertainment industry, she can change career and join the classical circle, become a respected pianist, paid off her debt, and reached the peak of her life. The key pianist is very high.

She kissed her hand and rubbed it together, praying for good luck.

        "It's up to you!."Agwa moved her mind to press the button nervously. Currently, the transparent panel with small boxes turns gray and white light rotates on all small boxes till it stops to one box. Agwa could hear her own breathing when the light slowly faded.

         [Perfect singing non-lyrics]

      "Ahh, this..." Agwa was at a loss, of all the delicious prizes she got the tasteless one. It's not that she's not thankful, but you were presented with a much more tempting dish and ended up with the least you wanted.

She muttered. "Forget it, next time I'll draw the big one"

The prize turned into a golden light and merge into Agwa's body. Her throat suddenly became itchy. She knows something has changed, but she can't tell what has changed.

        "Perfect singing is easy to understand, but what are non lyrics? Agwa tried to press the transparent box, hoping to expand and provide info, but she was interrupted by a mechanical voice.

       [The host is asked to explore independently]

      "System you have no conscience, everything needs to be explored" Agwa resignedly checked the original body's memory for some information. The original body's sound quality and voice are all ordinary in all aspects and they don't have the characteristics of grabbing people's ear. She tried a few tunes and notice the big change. She hurriedly opened Naver and searched for non-lyrics. The non-lyrics means Acapella without lyrics, more of the sound of nature like a perfect humming, whistle like Mariah Carey, etc. Another example where words mostly in the chorus for 'oohs and aahs' are vocalized. It's also perfect for harmonies and background voices.

        "This non-lyrics definition is a bit interesting" Regardless if this skill is good or not, Agwa is a little bit happy to get it. Besides, it's useless and meaningless to discuss the rationality of the rule sets by the system. Also, given some time, she might discover a more explosive use of this skill since it was tagged Perfect Singing. With that being said, Agwa continued to hum a few more lines and tried maria Carey's famous whistle. The more she sung, the happier she got.

     " Even if I start Hell mode, there is still hope for a comeback" Agwa breathed a sigh of relief.
