Home Assistant

Oh my god, this is amazing! It feels like magic! Actually, it is. No wonder!

Time to head in and check it out. Whatever this is it came out of the gift from Yggdrasil. Everything should be safe I assume. The interior is very different from what one would expect.

You know how every magical house in isekais comes with built-in modern rooms? Not this one. It seems to be one big room. It looks like a downsized throne room. There is a throne made of vines in the middle of it and that's it. There is nothing else.

This gives me the same feeling as when I got my first apartment. It was small and not in the best neighborhood, but it was all mine. There is a certain feeling of satisfaction that comes with owning your own place.

Nothing else much to do in here, I might as well sit down and enjoy the moment for a while.

| Welcome to the Home Assistant Lil Yggdrasil. Please chose a default language to initiate the home registration process. |

What? Some home assistant? What happened to forgoing the modern aspect? Oh well, might as well try it.

[English!]

| You have successfully chosen Orcish! |

Then I can hear many snorts, grunts, squeals, and oinks. Seriously?!

[English! I said English goddamnit!]

It just keeps going on with its weird noises.

[Turn off! Reset! Language change! English!]

This is horrible. It keeps babbling on.

[English motherfucker! Do you speak it!]

Still continues.

[That's it. I will burn this place to the ground. Start the biggest bonfire ever. This will be glorious!]

| Wait! Wait! I was just playing! Don't start a fire! |

...

[You understand me?]

| Yep, this one is called Lil Ygg. I am an offshoot personally grown by Yggdrasil himself! |

What a peculiar thing.

[Who or what are you?]

| I'm the home assistant to the best portable house that magic can get you! |

[Are you the one that made all of this?]

I point to the surroundings.

| Nope, all of it was Yggdrasil. It is a soul-bound artifact that he made himself. In short, it merges with your soul so you can bring it in and out of your sea of consciousness at will. Amazing isn't it?! |

[Actually is, how can I access this sea of consciousness thingy?]

| I can proudly declare that I have no clue! |

[None at all?]

| My responsibilities are to take care of this place. Not to help with training! |

Makes sense.

[What is up with this place? Why is there only a throne room?]

| Actually, I am equipped to redesign this place. If you find any rare materials that have to do with space, I should be able to upgrade it a bit. |

That is neat.

So, he is pretty much like a system, but not as robotic?

[Are you even alive or are you some kind of robot?]

| How very rude! I am very much alive with thoughts of my own and dreams! |

This is peculiar.

[What are your dreams then?]

| Why do you think my name is Lil Ygg? |

[Because Yggdrasil created you from a part of his body, right]

| Nope. It is because one day I will be a successful rapper! |

[You know what a rapper is? How?!]

| Of course, it is people that wrap gifts for birthdays. I learned it is quite popular in human culture! |

Not what I was expecting. At all. I had the image of a singer with gold chains and all in my mind.

| Oh yeah, because I have sick beats too! |

[So, you were talking about that! How do you even know what that is?!]

| *Smug voice* Ho-ho You see I inherited part of Yggdrasil's knowledge! Of course, I would know about that! |

Nice! Disregarding how mischievous this guy is, this will turn out to be so useful!

[Perfect! I'll need you to teach me magic!]

| Sorry, no can do! As stated before it is not part of my duties. |

[Why? Is there some obscure reason why it's forbidden?]

| I just don't know any. The keyword was part of the knowledge, not all. |

[Then what do you know?]

| I am a master of trivia and cultural knowledge! |

[Do you know anything remotely useful to the situation I am in right now? I am in a new unfamiliar environment and I need the power to protect myself.]

| I can give moral support! |

[That's it?]

|That's it! |

[Nothing else?]

| Nothing else! |

Turns out this new assistant is completely useless. I wonder if It could evolve somehow to access more knowledge? Perhaps, but I better not get my hopes up.

Worst case I still got myself a new home. The voice is humming constantly at the moment. Seems I have some constant white noise in the background now. This might take a while to get used to.

I comfortably lean against the throne's back. Before I know it, my eyes close and I start drifting into sleep. It seems using magic is extremely tiring. I'll have to be more careful for sure in the future.

****(POV)

It is I the book demon! Finally, I, the faceless character is back with even….

What the hell is that? Some kind of spirit? Is it an AI? Lil Ygg is it? This is bothersome. This guy is coming to copy my character archetype!

There can only be one! What if I just get rid of it for a while? I'm sure no one would notice. Not the readers for sure. Okay, maybe they will.

Still, it is enough that I can get away with it. I could murder the thing but that would be too noticeable. Yep, let's just make it disappear for a little while.

By the time the author remembers about it, I will have made many many appearances. Then I will be the number one mysterious character! I will dominate the favorite character polls!

Worship me lowly humans so that my power can grow! MUHAHAHHAAHAHAHA! Together we will accomplish our goal of world domination. I will dominate the world and you guys will watch in awe!

Good plan! Definitively! What's happening next?

Don't know. Don't care.

Will be awesome so keep reading or something haha.
