CHAPTER 1 - War God System

A man around his mid-twenties who has silver hair opened his eyes and those phoenix black eyes held confusion as he looks towards his surroundings. He was floating in a starry space, and he cannot see anything except for the colorful small lights that floats in his surroundings.

"Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm a world-hopping mission system."

"Uh?" The man slowly calms down as he analyzes his current situation. The last thing he can remember is that his car got involved in a car accident. His driver tried to avoid the collision of the two cars ahead of them but to no avail, they still got involved and several cars also got pulled in by the accident.

Pain, that was the last thing he can remember before he lost consciousness.

"System?" - The man asked with slight curiosity.

"Hello. I will be giving you two choices and you decide what you want.

First, bind with me and become my host. If you become my Host, you need to travel to different worlds and galaxies to complete missions and gain points and gain the completed world's reward which is the world energy that can strengthen the soul. Second, decline it and he will be sent into reincarnation cycle immediately."

The man slightly wrinkles his brows upon hearing the child-like voice that rang towards the surrounding. This child-like is calling itself a system. The man is not unfamiliar with the term system as in his world, he greatly pays attention to the trend and popular novels because he also loves to read when he's not doing anything. And he finds those system novels interesting. But he did not expect that he will one day be bound into a system.

After it finished talking, Yin Yu asked, "How long do I need to bind with You?"

"Until You can complete one SSS Grade world mission. So, it will depend on your effort and strength on how long you are bound with me."

"So, you're saying that even if hundreds of years passed, as long as I didn't manage to complete SSS Grade world, I am still bound with you?" – Yin Yu asked

"Yes. Even if thousand years passed, you are still bound with me until you cannot complete the SSS Grade world."

"Why are you not talking? Do you not want to bind with me?"

The man ignores the system question and asks loudly, "What's your name? How many hosts did you handle before me?"

"I don't have a name. but I have a title. I'm the war god system. You can give me a name if you want to. And you are the only person or entity that I approached. Means you will be my first Host if you ever agree to bind with me."

"War god system? Why do you have a title like that?"

"Because I am created by the God of War. Each God created many systems, and they also have the title of the god who created them. But since the other gods created more than one system, the number would also be added to their title based on what number they are created. But since I'm the only system that the god of war created, I simply have the title of War god system."

[Authors note: For example, If the God of War created more than one system, they will be called like this based on the number they are created, Ex. War God system 01, War God system 02, and so on. I hope everyone is not confused.]

The Man cannot help but frowned again when he heard the term 'god.' He doesn't know why but somehow; he seems like there's something wrong with him when hearing this word.

"Where are the gods that you're talking about? And what's the reason why they created the likes of you?"

"The gods have fallen into slumber because they lost too much of their powers. And the remaining powers they had is the ones that they use to create systems to be bounded into different people. The system would choose their host and make a contract with them. This contract would be beneficial to both the host and the creator of the system they bounded to."

"Why did the gods fall into slumber? And what's the contract that you're talking about?"

"The gods have fallen into slumber because they need to recover their strength since the reason, they lost their strength was the war that's happening to their realm. And as for the contract, the system would help their host to travel into different worlds to complete the world task that has been issued by that world.

And after completing the world, the world would give energy to the host. By absorbing the world's energy, the host could strengthen their soul, But the host doesn't know of this. They only know that if they would form a contract, agreeing to complete world tasks; they would have their freedom to travel into different worlds and have the never-ending life once they completed one thousand worlds."

The man's head tilted down for a little bit, so the eyes of the man had been covered by his silver hair.

"You said that the host doesn't know about the world energy? Why is that?"

"Because the system purposely doesn't inform their hosts as the systems took the world energy. If the systems took the world's energy, it would be transferred immediately to their creator. Which greatly helps the god that created them recover their strength."

"So, you're saying that the gods created systems using their remaining power to use those systems into guiding the people who contracted them to complete a world task. By completing the world task, the world energy would be absorbed by the God instead of the host, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"So it means that they are using the hosts to help them recover their strength?"

"Yes."

"Then, what about the never-ending life that you mentioned? Is that true?"

"No. The systems lied to their host. Because it is impossible for the hosts to have their own freedom and a never-ending life if they would not absorb the world's energy. If a host would absorb the world's energy, their soul would be slowly strengthened and if they are in their world mission, in that world, the host would be the strongest person because their soul has already been strengthened. And by continuing absorbing the world energy, one day, they will have the never-ending life and have the power to break free in the contract that they formed with the system."

The man remains silent for more than a minute before speaking.

"Then, why do you have to tell me all of these? What's your purpose?" - The man coldly asked as his silver eyes glinted dangerously.

He remember that it mentioned the other systems that they would say lie to their host and would not tell the truth, so why did this system openly tell him all of this information? Don't tell me, all that it said the entire time is also a lie?

"From now on, I will explain all the things that you need to know so please, don't interrupt me. You can ask any question after this system is finished what you need to know, in that way, you could also decide if you want to bind with me. Is that okay for you?"

"En."

"Then, Since I'm the war god system and I'm the only one who, the god of war created, of course, I will be different from the other systems. The other systems can change their host once their host died after failing the world task but I am not.

A host soul would receive damage after failing a world task. The more they failed, the more their soul received injuries, and it would continue until their soul would be extinguished. So, the more you absorb the world energy, the more your soul strengthens and it would only cause a bit of damage if a host failed a world.

Of course, that also depends on the grade of the world where the host performs missions. If a Host failed a High-Grade world, the injuries they will receive might endanger their soul or it might be directly destroyed.

As I said, I'm different than the other systems because I only need one host. The war god is a unique existence in the realm of gods, so he only created one system because he is not sure if there would be someone who will be compatible with his system. And it's been five thousand years since all the gods have created their own systems before falling into a deep slumber after releasing them.

Each system has already contracted more than a thousand hosts and they also completed a thousand worlds. Making their creator absorb the energy of the world. While me, the war god system have been continuously roaming in different universes and worlds, just to find the compatible host to me, and that is you, Host.

Once I find the right one who can be my host, we will need to form a contract. But we need to form an equal contract. This means that we would divide the world's energy equally. The half would belong to the host and the half would belong to the god of war. Of course, if the host would fail the world, the host would be the only one who will receive the damage.

As for this, we really cannot do anything about it. But if one day, my host's soul will be extinguished, I would also be extinguished along with the host. And if that happens, my creator will receive a backlash since I'm still a part of my creator's power. So, do you still have any questions, Host?"

"This information is enough for now. So, I don't have any questions."

"So, you mean you're agreeing with binding with me?"

The man's eyelid twitch after hearing the system sentence as he grunted slightly before saying, "From now on, you will be called Zero. Do you understand?"

"Zero understand Host!"

"That's good. Then let's form a contract now."

"Okay… Establishing the contract... Contract successfully formed... From now on, zero will be your system, Host. Let's work hard, Host!"

"En. Let's work hard." The man said indifferently as his lips were slightly raised into a cold smile.
