System

"My pitiful child, do you want to live?"

He said and started looking at me.

"Ye..."

I tried to say, but my voice didn't get out of my mouth.

"Heh, what did you say, boy?"

He said again.

"Yes, I want to live."

I was able to gather my strength and said with a low voice.

"Then, do you want to sell yourself in the process of it?"

He said with a tinge of amusement in his voice.

Although I couldn't see his face, I could see his yellow eyes shining under his cloak.

"Yes, cough, cough!"

I answered again while coughing.

And it looks like I have internal injuries. Well, nothing like a potion can't handle, but it is still an injury regardless.

"Then, from this point on, your life will no longer be yours. Your entire life is for my entertainment. I am asking this last time. Do you really want to live at the cost of your life?"

He asked me, this time with a serious and divine tone.

Yes, divine. This person is a god. I know since I saw some other gods out there before.

It may sound weird, but we have gods living among humans in my world, so I guess it is not that weird to see one in front of me.

And seeing he was serious, I decided to accept it without thinking.

"Yes, I want to live at the cost of my life."

It doesn't matter if I die either, so why not take this chance?

After seeing me giving my consent, he approached me and put his hand on my head, and started talking in a foreign language.

And after finishing what he was saying, I had a massive pain in my head and started to lose consciousness, and the last thing I saw was his leaving.

[System Initializing.]

[Starting the merge of souls.]

[Expected time – 3 hours]

With a sound in my head, I lost consciousness.

I had a dream in which I was living in a world called 'Earth'.

My name, what was that? I don't know. Well, it doesn't matter.

I was the son of a young couple who got divorced after staying married for 12 years.

When they divorced, I was in middle school.

I was a loner in that life.

I had no friends, no cousins, and no one to talk to.

And because of that, I started watching anime, playing online games, and reading manga in my free time.

I was also interested in martial arts, such as Muay Thai, Wing Chun, and Boxing.

And I was quite talented in it.

Since I have strong learning capabilities, I absorbed the knowledge given to me at a very high speed and mastered three of them at the professional level.

Well, aside from that, my school grades were also good since high school was quite easy, from my point of view.

I had a car accident at night and died.

At that time, I was watching a new anime called 'Is it wrong to pick up girls from the dungeon?' which had three seasons.

I was quite addicted to it, and I binge-watched the two seasons at once.

However, I was out of food and went to a convenience store to get some food since I was living alone at that time, and it was night, so most of the restaurants were closed.

And I was rushing to watch the third season, so I was a bit distracted and got in an accident.

And that was when the dream ended, but damn. Who would have thought I was living in an anime world?

It feels a bit surreal right now, and it feels a bit unfair.

Well, I don't want to think about it because I think if I kept thinking about it, my head would explode, so it is better to accept it and live with it, I guess.

And I think I heard some voices in my head before losing consciousness; what was that?

It was a robotic voice, and what did she say? System? Even though it wasn't that much, I read quite a number of novels that have systems in them, so I decided to test them.

"System."

I said to understand if I really have a system or not.

[Welcome, host. You can call me Iris. I am your system assistant. And you can talk to me in your head; no need to use your mouth while talking with me.]

I heard that robotic voice again. It seems like I really have a system right now.

I thought; however, the events that happened before I lost consciousness appeared in my mind, and I immediately decided to check the condition of my body.

It seems like my body got healed somehow since I don't have any wounds on my body right now.

Seeing my body was just fine, the adrenaline rush passed, and I started to feel cold.

I think it would be best to reach home before trying to find out about the system, and with that, I started walking to my home while thinking about what to do.

That bastard James betrayed me, so he will pay for it; I will make him pay, this is for sure.

With that, I started planning what to do.

After walking for a bit while hiding in my tracks to not be seen by others, since I am planning to cut my connections with Daedalus Street, I reached my home.

After reaching home, I started inspecting the system interference.

'System, show me your functions and tell me about them.'

[Host, as I said to you, you can call me Iris.]

[I am a system bound to you by ⍰ ⍰ ⍰ ⍰. Your soul got merged with your parallel self from the Earth, and you became one.

You can see your status as an adventurer by saying 'status' in your mind. However, note that in order to see it, you need to have a falna from a god or goddess first.

You can see your skills and magic in your falna as well.

Aside from status, there is a shop function and a quest function in the system.

After leveling the system up, you can have access to these functions; however, right now, at that point, you don't have access to these functions.

And note that the things you buy are all can be bought one time, and you can't mass produce these things.

Also, because of the divine intervention of this universe's laws, make sure not to get noticed as an otherworldly person.]

After Iris said that, I started to examine the status window…
