System or ?

"Grandpa, when will big brother wake up?"

"Why did big brother go there, big brother know it will be dangerous, but he still went there"

"Big brother is always intelligent, why does he behave like a fool this time around?"

"Cough cough… Don't be anxious, he will wake up soon."

"He is not heavily injured or anything like that, as you have seen already."

"Sh…sh..shut up. I only.. only clean the wound and bandaged them. Yes. That's all."

" alright alright. Go out and check out the medicine, he will need it when he wakes up."

"Ah! Okay"

A beautiful voice rang out in the room as she continued to talk and ask questions impatiently, and an elderly voice had difficulty speaking while trying to answer her questions.

"Oh, you have already woken up"

He had already woken up, but He didn't reply. Even opening his eyes was difficult for him right now. His head was heavy and his whole body aching like he was struck by some truck-kun and somehow survived.

Zack was listening to the conversation by his side, but he was in no condition to concentrate on that.

Zack tried to remember what happened and how he was in this condition, but even after that, he couldn't remember anything at all.

Looking around the unfamiliar place and people, who seem to know him already, he was bewildered.

Zack was really confused. He didn't know anybody who looked like some kind of grandpa in ancient wuxia movies.

'First, I was sent to an underground dark empty dungeon Where nothing but a statue was chained, and now this place is an old house. At least I was able to move, but now I am a bedridden patient. What else do I have to go through?'

Zack complained about his situation. His pain increased as his mind became clear.

' What is going on, why can't anything go well? From the moment I took that mission, my whole life has been fucked up.' as He complained about his shitty luck and fate, he looked at the old man sitting on the chair at the side.

Before he opened his mouth to ask something, he heard hurried footsteps coming toward his room.

"Big brother, you woke up ?"

"Are you hurt? Are you okay "

"Does it still hurt"

A teenage girl around 15 years old came running to his bed with a bowl in her hands and a smile on her innocent face, bombarding me with questions.

She was 'Momo', it seems like a nickname. She was a teenage girl around 15 years old, wearing a simple white dress. With silver-gray hair, white pale skin, and a beautiful smile, she was no less than a fairy in fantasy novels. She had an eye patch on her left eye which was hidden with her hair that still doesn't reduce but increases the charm on her face.

"Momo, don't drop the medicine on Zack's face." said the old man hurriedly when he saw how recklessly Momo name girl, was running towards the bed.

"Y..yes grandpa" he replied clumsily.

'At least I got to know my name now, and it seems it has not changed yet. but I do wish I could change it.'

Zack thought in his mind and continued.

'Now to know more about where I am, I can only apply the old movie formula I watched once.'

He put one hand to his head and pretended to be hurt.

"Where am I? Who are you guys?"

The old man looked at Zack like he was looking at weird creatures, and walked out of the house shaking his head with a helpless smile As if he knew something like it is an event of every day.

"Momo stay here, and help your brother if needed"

As if Momo didn't hear him and her bombardment with questions started again.

"Ah! Big brother, what happened?"

"Don't you remember me?"

"Do you forget me, big brother"

The girl became more anxious as she continued with the question. She was on the verge of crying out loud as her eyes filled with tears.

Zack was speechless. He thought to himself, 'Who started crying so suddenly? Why are you behaving like I am going to die? I am still alive here in this world at least.'

"My head hurts, and my memories are hazy. Maybe because I injured my head. I will be fine, don't worry."

Zack hastily replied before she burst into tears. His trick backfired on him, he didn't get to ask and almost got a free fountain on his chest.

"It is okay, big brother, you should rest and sleep. Momo will stay here and take care of you. "

She replied in a worried tone with a cute smile.

'I didn't mean that, but on second thought, I should focus on what happened that day. That notification is like an AI system. Did I transmigrate to a different world?"

*System* Zack called in my mind.

.

.

He waited but didn't get any reply.

*Hello, system.*

*Activate, status, status window, show my status, turn on* Zack called many times in different ways, as he thought

'What should he do? Was it really true that day? I did remember listening to the voice that was similar to the AI.'

As he was in his own thoughts. A pop-up msg opened before his face and a monotone voice sounded again.

[Welcome back sloth]

[Congratulations! You are still breathing after staying unconscious for two weeks.]

He almost coughs up blood.

"What the hell." He thought, 'which system answers like that?'

He took a breath and calm his mind down

*Are you the system? The voice I heard about that day was yours?*

He asked again with a calm expression.

[No, that was an old system, something like ROM function]

[I am an advanced version, like a supercomputer ]

Zack was speechless. Be the old system or advanced, but in the end, you are still the system, alright?

*System, How do you know about ROM and supercomputers?*

Zack asked as he thought to himself that no matter what, there can't be technology like here as well.

[Read all the memories when analyzing the mind power]

He got a simple and honest answer And before he could ask more. There was another msg.

[you are not allowed to call me system. ]

He was speechless once more. He had a strong urge to punch someone in the face. 'Easy Zack, you have to calm yourself, this is most likely your life partner in this new world.' I said to myself and asked again.

*Um… so, what should I call you? Do you have any name ?*

[i don't have any name, you have to give me a name.]

[and it should be a good name, otherwise, I can't provide you with any information.]

Zack had a feeling that he was not talking to any system but a spoiled brat. What kind of system blackmails you on the first day you get to know it?

'How about Jarvis?' I replied absentminded, as the first name that comes to my mind.

[it sounds like male, find something more like female]

'I can't take it anymore, after all the suffering I went through and even died. For what, just to do "babysitting of the system" after being reincarnated ?'

'What kind of luck is it ?' he almost screamed out loud.

Having a pained expression, don't know if it was because of wounds, or because of mental suffering he was having, he replied.

'Then your name is "Ava"

[yes. It sounds better.]

Zack smirks as he thought to himself, Abnormal, Vain, and Annoying, you have all qualities, so your name is AVA.

*Now, can you please tell me how to check my status and open the status window ?* Zack asked.

[It is simple just, just say status or think status window as you talk to me]

'But I didn't get a response when I tried before' asked Zack as he thought about the status window in mind.

[Before I didn't get a name either]

Zack almost suffered another mental breakdown. Somehow he survived and checked the status window.

'What the hell is this? What kind of stats are these? No health, no attack power, no skills.

'What with self-description, what the hell is this? Couldn't someone find a better word?'

'And who the hell is my master? Can I really have any desire for her? And if I can't, doesn't that mean my little brother has to suffer for a lifetime ?'

'Terms and conditions? Are you fucking selling products or some kind of service here? What are those terms and services? At least tell me already,' Zack was laughing like a maniac in his despair.

Zack was having a hard time controlling his outburst after reading the status window,

As he scrolled down, reading the status window, his cursing went from simple words to complex words, probably only someone in his situation can understand what he was saying.
