1 System 25: Guardian System

Castiel thought life is too boring. Everyday

he sits in his office,sign documents and business proposal, close business deals, and makes tons of money without doing anything, as well as live a comfortable life with no such thing

as a hiccup. it was very relaxing yet its a boring

life. It was to the point that he started to feel

the world is not right.

Everything is too good. So good that he

starts to wonder, why is he so blessed?

Then... he starts to notice. The world is a

repeatition of a day before, as well as the

day he started having this awareness.

He also starts to realize that every turn he

took seems like the turn he took yesterday

and it will still be the same for tomorrow.

Castiel ignored it. He ignored it completely,

that he forgot it for a moment, just a moment

for him to lose his life.

He sighed, watching a replay of his dramatical accident. He watched as the stupid him got stabbed because of a bankrupt company

he just bought. It was not his problem, he thought that life is just that. The winner takes It all.

He just happened to be the winner. Then

he was killed, he turned into a loser just like

that. Castiel felt that it was stupid.

Suddenly he heard a mechanical voice rang inside his head-

[Host no. 4729, I am System 25, a system

from galaxy 540. I am a Guadian System, here to grant your wishes in exchange for mission points. No matter what you exchange it for, whether you wish for a new life, or be a winner in life, will be granted. Do you wish to bind? Please answer YES or NO within 5 Seconds. Counting starts now. 5....4....3....2...]

Castiel was speechless, who the hell ask like

that?

apparently, there is, the system kept counting,

but Castiel never really followed the trend.

[...000009,....] fuck!!! why is the host not saying

anything? Is he not interested? ಠ_ಠ

It can't be??? No one, as in no one ever

rejected it. It's a system able to train rookie

host to champion host with 98.9 %

accomplished record. Besides, No normal

person would refuse, especially those who

desire something for themselves. Humans

call It GReed. Systems call it business.

waiiit... don't tell me...

"I refuse." Castiel answered coldly,

Patting his nonexistent coat. Truthfully,

Castiel find it interesting. However, he wouldnt

be Castiel with the moniker "The Golden Koi"

and "Business Genius" if he just agreed

without even knowing the pros and cons, he

will even have a new moniker, probably like -"stupid fucktard who thinks with his pea

sized brain" if he just up and went with the flow.

The system suddenly felt so stifled. If it had eye balls, it would have probably glared at Castiel. It Gnashed its nonexistant teeth and bitterly snarl inside its head.

"I do not wish for anything. Besides, I've

been the winner my whole life. I've been rich,

successful and even lived a life filled with

satisfaction that I even questioned myself,

why am I so lucky? I just walk a few meters

find a million. All the things that I want is within,

my reach, theres no hardship. So.. Tell me,

System 25, from galaxy 540. What's in it

for me?" Castiel said arrogantly. It was the truth. Although he found it incredulous at times, Castiel did not lie.

The System fell silent. Do you have to be so overbearing? huh? can't you be a little modest?

you're making us losers lose face here!

What the Hell is this host acting so arrogant

for? ಥ⌣ಥ The system does not understand

this complex feeling, it heard humans call it

Annoyance. It thought, it was probably close

to the word hate. However, as a system with

the highest accomplishment report, and an

A Class system, it really had a hard time

matching with the souls of the hosts.

[Host. Perhaps now, you don't want anything.

Being a host bonded to a system like me will

bring you more experience. Each missions to

be accomplish is equalled to the type of world

and difficulty of the mission. You may encounter

danger you can't possibly imagine. Situations

that will give you challenges you normally do

not encounter-

Castiel scoffed- "Each World? You mean

there are various of worlds? I presume you

meant worlds from different planes. As You

said, I can have various experiences and new

challenges to encounter. What you said is true.

But I believed that you and I both know, You

need me, more than I need you. I can just go die completely or reincarnate. It doesnt mean too much to me. So system, Tell

me. What is it that will make me take on this

mission? "

He wasn't normally that of a jerk. However, It's

better to make things clear to it. He's not a

charity. He doesn't run a foundation here.

Material things? That doesn't matter. He does

not need it. Experience? Would like to

experience, yes, but not necessary. Challenge?

He's not a masochist.

Doing such mission is not a problem. However,

he hates failing. That is why, he needs to clarify

things.

I had all the riches you can offer. I don't need it.

what I want is....

[Host. I researched and researched thoroughly.

However, all the answers I've found

seems to be inadequate and lacking based

simply on my data base as a system. So I tried looking for human thoughts. And there's this word I found which I am currently unable to determine if it's the answer you are looking for.

This system may not fully understand, but I will

use this word gladly.]

"So, what is it?" Castiel proded.

[Host. I am system 25. I offer my atmost

sincerity for this business transaction. I do

not completely understand, However, it can be

said that what you pursue is greatness. And

greatness is bound not to happen if one of us

fails. So, you want to say that you hate a pig

as a team mate, right? I can guarantee a

hundred percent, that I will be your greatest

ally. Rest assured, I shall do my best. So I hope

you would keep your end of the bargain. I am a system about to reach the S class level. You

are my last host to assist. PLEASE. FINISH YOUR TASK WITH A 99% GRADE. As a system running based on data and codes, there is no such thing as a 100% success. However. my atmost sincerity lies at the fact that I do not scheme against my host. Also, the gains and losses do not matter to me. Finishing task and missions are the most important. That would be all. So, Host. Is it a deal?]

Castiel smirked. He felt satisfied.

He shrugged, Opening his palm towards the

flickering ball of light in front of him.

"Deal. Happy Cooperation, System 25."

The system paused, asking itself if that is all it took to have such an obnoxious host.

Feeling strange, the system is unable to take all of it in. It was such a rip off without even paying for anything. Such a complicated thing, it simply thought before answering in a mechanical tone-

[Happy Cooperation, Host.]
