Chapter 1: Nice to meet you, my dear host!

Youngchan's POV

Where am I?

Amidst my confusion, a blinding light emerged in the center of the room. What came out, was a white ball with two sticks for an arm and two shiny black balls for eyes.

"Yaaa! Nice to meet you, dear host!"

"Who are you?"

Despite the clearly confusing series of events, Fu Youngchan still managed to calm himself down. He deduced that he must extract information to come up with a plan or decision.

Kyaaa~ As expected of my host!

"I am System Number 143. You can name me however you like~"

"Why am I here?"

"Sadly, you died peacefully in your sleep, my dear host. But the Head Quarters detected your soul and retrieved it before crossing the boundary. The HQ recognizes your capability and I am here to assist you throughout the missions!"

<⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠ >

"What missions are you talking about?"

"Oh! I am a support type system that is capable of aiding you in the worlds that we'll jump into! In every world, we need to accomplish missions that HQ will issue. And depending on the rank of the mission, the points we receive also vary."

"What would I even do with the points that I'll gather?"

"Now, now my dear host! Points are simply a God's gift! You can do anything with enough points! Reincarnation? 10,000 points! Travel around the Cosmos? 50,000 points! World Domination? Only for 100,000 points! You can also purchase cheat-like items and abilities all in the System Store! We got all you need!"

✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

Sounds like a shady shop advertisement to me. Tsk.

"So what are my missions like? Give me a clue."

The supposed system 143 giggled and slowly rose through the air while his light intensified.

"In every world there is always a character who is handsome, smart, rich, and perfect in every sense but always gets a miserable ending no matter what they do! Do you feel pity for them? Does that arouse the care and love inside you? Well then, this mission is perfect for you! Journey through the worlds while saving the damsel in distress! Let us begin the journey!"

*✧⁠(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*

So cringe yet he seems so proud of it! But being the professional actor that I am, I managed to stop my face from contorting in disgust.

"Don't I get incentives early onwards? After all, you basically forced me into this and I'm just a helpless dead soul who can't fight back." - I still tried to haggle for some benefits just to be prepared. Who knows how tough the worlds that I'll land in? Better safe than sorry!

"Of course! My dear host! You will receive the newbie exclusive pack! You'll find it in the top corner of the System Interface~"

Knowing the drill, I called out the system interface in my mind and a transparent blue interface appeared in front of me.
