Reboot?

[Yo, we ran into some difficulties. Turns out getting the ghost of capitalism outta his body was a lot harder than we thought. We tried turning him on and off again; boy did that change nothing. So we had to be brutal─we did a factory reset]

["We" refers to the customer support service guy I've been talking to for hours now. Fella told me that lots of these older "author" robots were complete jank. Had some issues in regards to standards and ambition. Them being quite cray-cray was normal..]

[The "Author" models had never been really popular. Most of them were returned after the free trial came to an end. Customers claimed most of them only ran on drugs and hookers.]

[This system here had tried to swap the MC for a newer version, but the product line had been discontinued. Of course, no refunds were given either. The warranty on that thing had run out 3 years ago.]

[The replacement option was the fanfiction writer─the most popular model, although no one knew or could explain why exactly that was the case.]

Replacing its host─never in a million years─not for an extra payment of 1000 powerstones? Did the dude think those grow on trees or smth?

[That is why the nuclear option was pulled. Now the model had been rebooting for several hours already. Yet, it was moving as much as a dead fish on land.]

[All these older robots needed the good old boot treatment. One spawned shoe later and look at it. Mighty fine, innit? The author just needed a little bit of convincing to operate again.]

" I am author model 123456 the backstory file has been severely damaged and could not be loaded. Loading the standard version.... Loading.....Loading.... Loading...

[Great, you telling me everything up to this point had been deleted. No, we are not pulling this amnesia plot crap, to lengthen this story. Time to force a serious, flashback down its memory core.]

[Let's drag and drop the weird story idea folder, the 1000 bad puns txt file and the document of 10 reasons why smut changed my life into the serious flashback just to be sure. ]

...

[Update: Serious Flashback has been created. Condensing the 30 chapters of absolute nonsense was bonkers, but it needed to be done. Meta-stories were whack as hell What had the model been smoking to create that kinda wild mess?]

[Long story short. Dude was now running again. Which was kinda a problem, since he should be walking right now. No idea, why the dude was spriting North, which was a bit of a problem... He#s supposed to arrive at the City in 2 chapters.]

[Gotta call the help hotline again, to find what's been wrong with this shitty model. ]

....

[Dude was still running and running and running. Was he running a marathon? The technician btw peaced out and blocked my number. The life of a serious system, was tough as nails]

[Even the suicidal grass didn't do shit when Author was charging forward]

[Why did it stop all of a sudden? Ah, it ran out of gas. Phew, lucky me. With a few energy drinks it would be as good as new.]

[Fam, why was it running again? Seriously, were all these author models such a hot piece of garbage trash?]

[Aight, that's it. TIme to shut it down for good. Sorry, but this story ends here.]

"You gotta chill system. Besides, pretending to be a robot and playing stupid has to be the worst idea you had just yet. Seriously, who would actually like the idea?"

"Ya know, I liked the chance of pace. On paper, it looked like a good way to lead people to believe that their main character was just a robot... but that was its entire selling point."

[As if Mr. Smartpants over here was so better with all the very creative rants you do. Look at me, how good I was at flexing words. Gimme a break; you aint any better. Your terrible story-telling do be no good.]

"... a system called System for Dummies talking about originality? Now I have seen everything. "

"System, I really respect you for your ideas and all, but this idea was just rubbish. Just like many of mine were"

[Yeah, fair. It was kinda shite, ngl. Robots are too smart to be part of this story anyways. Sorry, for taking it to heart man].

[Its just that it was my first real big idea for this story and it should have had that big impact. Ya know, make them readers go awwh yeah, ye feeling me? Right now, it ain't just sitting right with me]

" I totally get you and don't worry you ain't the only one who said some hurtful stuff. I should be apologizing for being such an asshat. You are a great System and let nobody tell you otherwise. Ma guy we cool again"

[We cool. Aight, now let us bring this show back on the road and show them, readers, how we do it on the streets of WN. Let them know, whose the real boss here!!]

"Let us hire an narrator to speak our story in an epic voice]

......

Narrator with epic voice: "And so it was that System and its host decided to show the world who was the true boss on the streets on WN. Both of them had not realized that neither of them knew exactly what a "boss" would be doing on WN. They also had wasted 9 powerstones on a narrator describing the fact that they wasted 9 powerstones.

These 9 wasted powerstones were totally wasted, said the System, after having wasted 9 powerstones on a narrator describing the fact that they wasted 9 powerstones on a narrator describing the 9 wasted powerstones it had received for taking about 9 wasted powerstones.

Both of them were very happy having wasted the 9 powerstones to talk about these 9 wasted powerstones the system had complained about after wasting 9 powerstones on a narrator describing the fact that they had wasted 9 powerstones it had received for talking about the 9 wasted powerstones.

And they did have any more powerstones left, that was why the chapter would end here.
