System?

"Oi Kid! Are you okay? You haven't broken any of your legs, right?" The second guy finally came to him and asked casually, as the people wouldn't die that easily from that simple kick, according to him.

But Li Xian didn't respond to him, as he still wallowed in his misery and the unacceptable fate that had befallen him.

He wanted to get back to his family as soon as possible, or else everything they have built will collapse if he simply disappears out of nowhere.

Just the thought of his parents, his sister, his girlfriend, and his buddies searching for his whereabouts and the amount of devastation that will cause them if they can't find him makes Li Xian's heart hurt, as though someone is pricking it with a needle.

Just the thought of him not going home on his usual daily schedule used to make his mom and sister sick with worry. But now...

'Ding! The system finds the host's thought process incorrect. As the host is still on 'Earth', except that host has been forcibly time-traveled back an exact million years to the current date in the future.' As Li Xian was about to 'bawl' to release his emotions, which kept pressurizing his heart, he heard a sound in his 'mind' directly which surprised him a bit.

"Hello! System? Can you please send me back quickly? I don't want to transmigrate here. You have probably chosen the wrong guy, as I have never desired it nor am I a desperate guy who is looking for a miracle. My life was pretty good, and I am very content with that. Just send me back to my original state, and you can choose another host." Li Xian hurriedly said as soon as the system voice came.

He isn't that surprised by this system thingy, which he read in many novels in his college days.

He understood instantly that this system is the 'culprit' that sent him here. As such, he started begging for it, and he even stood on his knees from his sitting position.

The two bulky guys looked at each other with confusion as they saw Li Xian talking to himself like that. The bigger guy simply waved at the second guy to come back and sit with him, as though telling him that 'Big Bowl' was probably acting up.

The second guy shrugged his shoulders before dragging the curious kid away with him to sit near the bonfire again.

All of them completely ignored Li Xian and thought that kid would get tired of his own actions if they ignored him before giving up.

'Ding! The host doesn't need to talk to the system using his mouth! Just use your thoughts so the system can understand what the host is conveying.' The system responded again without any emotion in its mechanical voice.

Li Xian still stayed on his knees as he started conveying his thoughts to the system.

"System? Can't you send me back and choose a new host?" Li Xian again asked the same thing.

'Ding! The host isn't selected randomly. And it is impossible for the system to unbind or select another host, which essentially means the death of the host and destruction of the system.' The system slowly explained.

'Ding! The host doesn't have to worry about the future or your loved ones, as they are in the future, the host has the chance to go to your original body in the future to combine with it.' The system said again, as it waited for a moment after the last sentence, as though it decided to instill some hope in Li Xian.

It did give Li Xian some hope, but he still feels a lot of frustration about what happened to him.

He wanted to curse this system so much, but he restrained himself, as it just gave him hope, and he also needs it on his journey towards his 'future'.

He laid down and closed his eyes, before opening them again to give it one final try. But seeing that everything is still in the same 'setting', he sighed as he accepted his fate.

"But why me?" Li Xian still wanted that answer from the system, as he felt that he was being 'unfairly' dragged into this without his consent.

'Ding! The system chose the people who were happiest in the western Guangxi region at that particular time. Then the system narrowed down the search and checked which person would be most affected by the calamity that was going to happen the day after your birthday. The system found three happy people in that narrow search who fit the criteria, one of them is the host. The system checked the schedules, their family histories, and many more things. One of the candidates is a single person living there, and his family is not there. The only female candidate and her family are going on a trip the day that calamity is about to fall, and their chances of getting stuck on the first day are very low. That narrows it down to one person, and that is the host.'

The system explained that, instead of clearing the question, it instead increased the complexity.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask about the so-called 'calamity', the system already started continuing its explanation.

'Ding! There is a disastrous calamity that is about to happen the day after the host's birthday. As for the details regarding the calamity and why it's happening, the host doesn't have enough authority to know as of now. The initial calamity is going to hit the western Guanxi region, especially very close to the host's home. If the system hasn't chosen the host, the host and his family are among the earliest to have faced that calamity's wrath. The system is providing a chance for the host to save his family in the future, and the host also needs to stand up against the enemies on behalf of justice.'

The system explained again, which kind of cleared Li Xian's doubts a bit, but he still has a lot more doubts.

He thought the calamity mentioned by the system was a kind of natural calamity, but in the last few sentences, it talked about enemies.

He couldn't help but ask what enemies, which enemies, and whom enemies? To which the system simply pulled out its 'not enough authority card' successfully earning an eye roll from Li Xian.

Just as he decided to ask the system about the process and how it is going to help him. He felt a stinging pain on his right foot and couldn't help but jerk back two meters from there as he saw the ant trail coming towards him, before falling on his butt.

He looked at his own hands, which looked kind of chubby with all that hair. He stood up for a bit to check his new body and was instantly dumbfounded by the bulging belly, which kind of feels heavy on his legs.

He quickly marched to the only water pit in the cave, which may have stored water when the rainwater overflowed this cave.

He looked at his reflection and couldn't help but sigh, but at the same time understanding why they were calling him ugly.

It's not that his face is ugly, it's just that it is also the same as his belly and quite filled with a lot of fat. He looks to be around 21 or 22 years old from the looks of it.

"System! Why did you choose such a body? And also, what happened with this guy?" Li Xian asked as he felt that this system didn't consider it properly. As a modern human, Ning Qi felt that having too much hair on his face, hands, legs, and even his ears was kind of hard to take. But he still decided not to shave it, as that would make him 'unique' here.

'Ding! The system killed this guy and gave him to the host, as he contained a lot of fat in his body. The host currently is in the epoch of the Pleistocene, which has a maximum temperature of 20 degrees Celsius in the current location host stays and the global average is only around 6 degrees Celsius. So the system chose a fat body for the host as the best choice.'

The system again explained slowly, but the first sentence of the system made Li Xian feel his scalp tingle. He felt that this system may be evil otherwise, why would it kill a person out of nowhere?

'Ding! The host doesn't have to think like that. This person is about to be dead tomorrow and meets the criteria perfectly. The system gave this person a painless death, compared to how he had to die in a gruesome manner. The system even guided him along his reincarnation, making sure that he went into a good world, which would make him have a good future in his next life.'

The system explained its authenticity as a good one, making Li Xian feel like this system is a bit too much on the side of justice, as it even went on to help this guy through reincarnation.

Li Xian decided to not care about that anymore, as he has to deal with his own sh*t first. He decided to help this guy's relatives if there are any left, or else that will be the end of their karma with each other.
