I Became a System

[A/N: While I upload chapters, I encountered some glitches, so some parts may have swapped that I didn't notice. However, if there are some like flashbacks, or prior to that time but only showed later, it is not about the glitch. So, if you ever reach the latest part, you can criticize me all you want... I know I did a bad job that's why I am going to put the whole story in editing with the errors I mentioned.] Aaron was just a normal human being who liked to read books. But apparently, he died by being buried in a mountain of books he had read. He became a system, rune, and power of Ellena, a "cursed child" who was mistreated by the people around her because of the belief that black hairs are cursed. At the age of 15, she was cast out of the family, and just as fate told her it wouldn't be easy, she was captured and turned into a slave. At that time, Aaron was still not activated. In this world, people have abilities that can be obtianed by activating runes on the back of their right hands. However, Aaron wasn't activated even after Ellena's 15 years of living. It was just that some condition was needed for the special power within the rune to be activated. When Aaron was activated, it was already when Ellena suffered the most. Together, they survived the suffering, and Ellena acquired her own ability, with the help of her system, the special power behind her rune. Ellena attained her own personality, but it was something different despite being mistreated for years. She became soft and justful. Perhaps of the longing for protection she was searching for, she was ready to give it to others. It was also connected to her destiny that Aaron diligently assessed for years, until it finally happened. "There were mysteries in this world. The fight between dimensional chaos and those who plunder different dimensions is now affecting mortals. I ask you, Aaron, to become one of us if you want to help Ellena." 'Ellena was supposed to save the world. And I was something special that 'they' were longing to find.' With the passage of time, Aaron started to learn his true self, the real form of his soul that he didn't expect to discover. *** Volume 1: Fear System [Completed] Volume 2: Blessing and Third-Generation Group [Completed] Volume 3: Alias Noelle [Completed] Volume 4: Companions [Completed] Volume 5: Sin of Greed (On-going) *** This isn't a boring story. Read it and enjoy or drop it if not. Also if you ever wanted to leave a review, be sure to read half of the first volume. You aren't leaving a review for the first chapter but for the book. --- [Image, not mine, I just edited it and used it as my cover. If you are the owner, I can take it down immediately.]

Ellena: The Cursed Child

What is the origin of the belief that black-haired children are cursed?!! Was it because they were uncommon? Was it an entity that looked eerily similar to them? Or do they have abilities that their logic can't comprehend? Even with all of this reasoning, who are they to judge a newborn child as cursed?

She is still a child, and most importantly, she is innocent; why would you judge them based on their appearance?

My host's father looked at her with disgust. He handed over the child to the midwife and walked out of the room in annoyance. He violently opened the door and exited.

Her mother, on the other hand, was dismayed by her child's appearance. She also has the look of being disgusted and not even paying heed to their crying daughter.

Why are these people alive? Oh, that administrator. Why would he keep a moron alive? This world is garbage. By looking at their mood, I can tell that they live in a greedy society.

They are living in a noble society based on their appearance, clothing, furniture, and actions. And for basic information, the world's nations are still monarchies in the majority.

But, I pity this girl. I should not judge this world that easily. I know, it's hypocritical, but it's the urge to have emotions. My brain was not composed at that moment.

I will observe this world and judge it fairly. Because I will be the system of the chosen child of heaven, not the cursed one.

***

Ellena, my host, is growing pretty fast. It has already been 3 years since I was reincarnated and, as far as I have observed, being a system is hard. I can't tell the time because everything in my vision appears to be like a movie.

Was this a mechanism to help me not be bored? I know I have to wait another 7 years for her rune to activate me, but I still hope I can help her.

Ellena is just so adorable that I've been cursing those useless parents restlessly. How do they even manage to survive without being hit by lightning? Ugh. I just can't take it. I hope that her father becomes impotent and stops making offspring.

She is so cute, but her progress seems... pitiful. This year, she has only recently learned to walk. Well, IT'S BECAUSE OF HER PARENTS' FAULT!!!

How can they not take care of their children?! But, let's not be too arrogant there. I know I have different types of knowledge, but being too arrogant does not show any intelligence. It's stupid to foolishly judge a person by what you can see.

However... this situation is not good... I may take back this statement in the future. I just hope that these people won't fail me.

***

The mistress was pregnant, and word got around the house. By the age of 4, Ellena will become an elder sister. However, she is still neglected, which makes being an elder sister impossible.

What I say neglected is that Ellena is literally trying everything on her own. Eating, bathing, and even studying. Everything is slow for Ellena as there is no guidance. She was only left with a maid, who also ignored her and stole her food.

GOD, I JUST WANT TO KILL THIS MAID. How can she sleep without any conscience? It might be reasonable but illogical for her parents to neglect her because they have jobs... Yes... Let's assume that they have jobs! But this maid, who has only one job, takes care of Ellena. CAN'T I JUST CHOKE HER FOR A SECOND?! IT WOULD BE NICE IF I COULD CHOKE HER FOR AN HOUR.

These people are getting on my imaginary nerves. Yes... apparently, I can't have nerves.

Can the heavens send some lightning and hit this maid? She literally irritates me.

***

It was news in the house that the mistress had successfully given birth to a healthy baby girl. It's still her luck that she's still alive right now. She'll get her day too. I swear!

And something more that made me irritated is their good news... "She's not a cursed child. Thank goodness." She had orange hair, which made everyone feel relieved.

Seriously, I need to figure out why black hair is thought to be cursed children. I can't properly think of one right now.

***

Ellena's family is out right now, visiting a relative. I was surprised that they included her on their journey. Maybe their relative is sane, and they are afraid of being asked, "Where is your eldest daughter?" I can't properly b... imaginary breath right now... for laughing?

Oh no. I'm not going crazy.

As far as I could tell, this family had a lot of bad luck. They are surrounded by a group of bandits, and surprisingly, they manage to pass through the guards. This event may turn into slave trading. I hope the mom gets caught.

But it seems like heaven can also punish me. Ellena was almost put in danger. A bandit passed through, then grabbed her little sister. But Ellena was so brave that she even tried to defend her sister.

However, things didn't work well. I mean, she successfully saved her sister. But her thickheaded mother blamed her. Worse, her father dragged her into the fray. So... her parents want to be the villains in her life, huh?

But she even saved her little sister. DON'T GET ME SNAPPED. I WILL CURSE THEM UNTIL MY LAST IMAGINARY BREATH.

Whoo... calm down... you are not supposed to be bothered by those insects.

***

At the age of 10, she learned how to read. Yes... Because she only taught herself, she learned by only observing the text and comparing it to the words.

It is a commendable achievement. Really, you should be called a genius rather than a cursed one.

But my cute little Ellena wants to help her father. So she immersed herself in reading books. But it seems that she also has incompetence when it comes to learning. Unfortunately, she didn't learn that fast. She still really needs guidance, but her wicked family doesn't help her.

If I could only move, I would take your organs and sell them on the black market for 0.01 dollars. THAT'S HOW WORTHLESS YOU ARE, YOU USELESS PARENTS.

But there's something odd about this place. It's getting dimmer and... there's... smoke?!

Fuck, Ellena. Get out of this place immediately! You can't die... Oh. It's futile. I forgot that I know when you're going to die, and I have a feeling it's not right now. So... Ellena... Just get out so you won't hurt yourself, okay?

"You useless trash! What have you done?! You even burned our books!"

But... it was not her. Tell them, Ellena, it was not you! Someone was inside and burned everything. I was not you!

But Ellena kept silent. It may be seen as if she was admitting...

"You are locked in the basement for a month. Repent, you useless trash."

No! NOOOOO!!! DON'T MAKE HER SUFFER ANYMORE. She was just trying to be useful! DON'T BE STUPID. It was obviously your maid's fault for not being cautious about things. She wanted it to associate Ellena with the fault, so she would not be fired.

That... useless maid... She can't even do their jobs properly... Everyone can't even do their jobs...

Why can't you listen to Ellena for once? She's also your child! Can't you even ask her if she's alright? Why was she in there? Why can't you care about Ellena?

Just why are you making her suffer? Why us?

You might be confused with some transitions in the timeline but it wasn't forever. I was just giving small flashbacks then with the present. It was divided by my divider "***". It's a sign that there might be changes in POV, time and place, character. It won't be written specifically as I wanted to confuse readers and find the answer. Why not right?
