The System

" Host! Host! Wake up!"

A cute childish voice filled with distress can be heard non-stop.

" Host? "

Nudging the lying woman on the floor, the system can't help but cry. When it finally took form, it was excited to meet its host. However, what was waiting for it was her cold body lying still on the floor.

" Host! Host! Please don't die. How can you leave me behind? We haven't done any tasks yet. If you're dead, they will kill me. Huhuhu"

The tiny furry ball kept squeezing on the young woman's neck. As if wanting to give her the warmth it clearly didn't have.

" Host. Host, please don't die. Huhu " It continued to shed non-existent tears.

" M****f***r. Who's dead? Stop cursing this goddess. "

The young lady babbled, turned to her side, and continued sleeping.

" Host! You're alive! That's great!" The furry ball leaped up and down showing its own excitement.

"Host, I'm System 333 your personal system guide. I'm the first of my kind and you're the first tasker. We are clearly meant to be! Host, I'm so happy! " The fur ball giggled.

Seeing that its host still won't wake up, it can't help but persist in nudging her.

" Host wake up you've been asleep for 8 hours. " The child-like voice said.

" Five more minutes. " The lady muttered.

She was clearly at the climax of her dream. She must persist and see through the end of it.

Realizing that she kept on slumbering, it persuaded her even more.

" Host a human adult can only sleep 7 to 9 hours. Sleeping too much will be bad for your health. "

" Host? "

" I'm a holy ghost." She mumbled.

" Host? Come on and rise and shine!"

The little guy kept babbling everything it thought of and finally blew the fuse in someone's mind.

" One more word and I'm gonna sew your mouth shut!" An angry muffled voice came from its host.

The little guy shivered.

How come its host is so fierce. It only wanted her to wake up and be healthy. Huhuhu

The system continued to weep but not daring to let out a sound anymore. It sensed the evil aura in its host just now and felt terrified. It didn't doubt she will really sew its tiny mouth shut. It can only wait for her to wake up

4 hours later.

A certain person finally woke from her slumber. She stretched her limbs whilst lying on the ground and yawned to her heart's content. She must say, that was the best nap she ever had.

She sat up languidly, rubbed her eyes, and looked around. Clearly not having an idea where she was. Since being a ghost, she has teleported here and there. This perk doesn't even excite her anymore. So while thinking, she finger-combed her messy, waist-length hair as she wondered where she was and what she needs to do.

" Host! You're finally awake!" An excited voice trotted over.

System 333 was actually watching its host the entire time. It doesn't have any other choice. The space was bare and the only thing that existed was its host and itself. Hence, it decided to look at its host the entire time. It noticed that the host is actually so good looking, like an angel it saw in its database. It concluded that the host is the most beautiful person ever. It just can't connect the fact that her angel-like host has a devil-like aura. Just thinking over those evil stats made it tremble.

Sensing that the host probably won't sew its mouth anymore, it decided to brush up some presence.

She stilled, looked at the black thing bouncing towards her, and seriously thought whether to swat it off or not.

Sensing danger up ahead, the furball decided to stop on a safe distance. Before it could talk again, it finally heard the host consciously talk to it.

" The hell are you? " Her brows were furrowed as she glanced at the talking piece of whatever that is.

" Host I'm System 333!" A jolly voice answered.

" 333? " The girl suddenly laughed loudly.

" Hahaha. Tell me system, shall I call you Halfsie or Evil-chan? Pick one. " She asked playfully.

She crossed her legs, cupped her chin on one hand while curling a lock of her hair with the other. This soot-like fur ball is quite funny. She decided to take special care of it.

The system suddenly had goosebumps. What just happened? It got scared out of nowhere.

" No, I don't want to choose!" No way this baby system also has a temper you know.

" No? " She squinted her eyes rather dangerously.

" Well, you do remind me of that cocci they lectured in Microbiology before. Should I call you cocci? It kinda suits you. You look like the deformed, ugly version of that bacteria." What followed was a soft laugh akin to a gentle girl.

The system's warning signals kept flashing on and off in its head. It needs to abort the temper tantrum it launched! Can't be helped, dignity is at stake.

" Host! Host! I will choose! " An eager voice almost pleaded. No way will it let the host name it after a bacteria. It is way too cute for that.

"I choose Ev-" However, before it could say its choice, its fate has been sealed.

" Halfsie it is." She smiled and raised her hand toward it.

" Come, little Halfsie." The gentle look with the soft voice almost coaxed the furball to leap on her palm without dignity.

It knew the host really has it in her heart.

It enjoyed the cool, soft palm of its host. However, before it could finally heal its scarred little soul, the host delivered another critical hit.

" Now tell me, why do you look hideous? Hmm?"

Her other hand was clearly petting it, so why were her words not safe for its little heart. It wants to cry. Pity it doesn't even have tear ducts.

"Host! How can you say that? Huhu" The little guy was aggrieved.

" My form is the reflection of what you think evil is." It cried pitifully.

She looked at the golf-sized, soot-colored creature on her palm. The short hair around it was so fine like spider-silk, it gives the illusion that the little guy is floating in the air. It doesn't have any limbs but it has a pair of tiny squinted eyes, which were red as rubies. No mouth either, so how can it talk? It even mumbles so much.

" That so? Well, such form isn't domineering at all. " She paused as if considering something.

" Can I imagine you to a different form then?"

" I don't know, host. There is insufficient data about it. "

Halfsie reported earnestly. Hell if it could be domineering instead, it will pick up that form in a heartbeat. Who wants to be black cotton as the epitome of evil? It isn't even convincing in any way. Just look at how the host bullies it and to think it isn't even a day. Just thinking of being with her for eternity hurts its imaginary balls.
