I Got An Apocalyptic System

Saved a girl, Got a System

That night when Eagan got home, his grandmother was waiting for him and his nanny Nina.

The grandmother, worried about her grandchild working even though he had everything, awaited him to return home with his dinner readily prepared.

"Glam, I'm home," Eagan called out as he entered the house

"How was your day? Was working stressful? Can you do it? I told you I'd add to your allowance if it weren't enough! Why did you insist on working? You look so tired," His grandmother complained as she looked at him. He kissed her on her forehead and answered her questions.

" My day was fine; work wasn't stressful, it was fun, and I can do it; you don't need to add to my allowance. I gave more than enough already. I'm just working on getting more experience."

" Still..." Eagan cut her off

" I promise I'm ok, and I'll quit when it starts affecting me... I'm hungry. You won't starve your grandson, will you?"

His grandmother giggled and led him to the dining room to eat his meal.

She watched him quietly as he ate his meal; after eating, Nina packed the plates, and he thanked then went out on a short walk with his grandmother as they do every day.

While they were walking, Eagan asked about her health

" Did the doctor come for a check-up today?"

"Yes, she said it's improving. Don't worry, your old woman will be here to see you get married, " She joked, and Eagan rolled his eyes.

"Wait till I graduate from school first; we'll talk about marriage then."

"But I..."

"No, I don't want you to introduce anyone to me anymore."

He lost how many blind dates he's had to go on to satisfy his grandmother.

"You are not getting younger."

"But I'm still too young."

"Fine, I'll drop it today, but I would like you to meet her. She is pretty and intelligent ..."

"Ok, alright, I heard you. Let's go in ... I beat from exam and work."

He said goodnight to his grandmother and went into his room to shower and sleep.

While asleep, he heard a steady voice in his subconscious with some buzzing, but he was too tired to pay attention to it; he turned over and continued his sleep.

THE HOST IS IN A STATE OF RELAXATION... AWAITING THE HOST'S ACTIVE STATE FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.

While Eagan was sleeping soundly, his body underwent modification and enhancement so that by the time he woke up in the morning, he felt much more refreshed than he had ever felt since he could remember.

" What a good night's sleep" he stretched and got off the bed and into the bathroom to prepare for his morning routine.

He prepared, drank some pre-workout shakes, and changed into his workout clothes. And went to the gym in his basement.

###

Two hours later, he completed his workout routine, and instead of feeling tired, he felt more energized like he had just begun " This is strange; normally, I'd have been out of breath by now. Is it due to having a good night's sleep?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he got a system notification

MISSION COMPLETED

Eagan stared at the interface floating in mid-air like in the movies with advanced technology.

" Am I seeing things this morning?" He read the other messages that followed.

THE HOST HAS EXERCISED FOR TWO HOURS EXCEEDING THE MISSION TIME BY ONE HOUR; AN EXTRA REWARD WILL BE ADDED EVERY TIME THE HOST EXCEEDS THE GIVEN MISSON.

Eagan tried touching the interface, and it was just air around him

" This ... this isn't happening. How are you? " He asked, not expecting a reply. When he got one, he flinched.

"AH. I DIDN'T MEAN TO STARTLE YOU. I'M LYRA."

"Huh? Lyra? The name sounds familiar or faint. Do I know you?"

" I'm a replica of the Lyra you helped last night."

The image of the girl with blue hair popped into his head, and he remembered her immediately.

" So, you are telling me you're her?"

" No, I'm a system she created using her life force. You remembered the watch that was given to you last night?"

" Yes, I remember."

" That's my mainframe, and with that, I could connect to you with a little bit of Lyra's life force; now, I'm bound to you forever."

" Oh, alright? What do you want?"

" I'm here to help you prevent the end of humanity in your world."

" It's not weird enough. I'm hearing voices in my head and seeing things. There'll be an apocalypse too? "

" Yes, there will be an apocalypse too, and it'll be soon. I can't tell when but I can tell you it's the truth!"

" If that's the case, shouldn't Lyra go to the government with this information? Why would she give the information to me?"

" Lyra isn't from this world, the apocalypse monster destroyed her world, and she was the only Survivor; she came into this world with the remaining life force she had. As I'm talking to you now, she'd have disintegrated into dust or something. You have to; believe me, I'm not lying to you!"

" Uhm, ok, this is too expensive to be a joke. What do you want from me then?"

" I just want to help you prevent the tragedy that happened in our world."

" let's say I believe you; how do you intend to help?

" I'll give you missions and rewards for completing the tasks like the one just now... Would you like to claim the rewards now?

Eagan was hesitant. Not every day, you get a system from another world to help prevent the apocalypse. Everything feels fishy and like a well-thought prank, but he'd like to get to the bottom even if it's a prank. He took a deep breath and replied yes.

' This feels like a game,' Eagan thought as the item shown in the interface backpack.

THE SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED TO FIT TYE HOST'S AESTHETICS, AND FROM THE HOST'S MEMORIES, THE SYSTEM NOTICED THE HOST ENJOYS VIDEOS GAMES.

"They are honestly impressive."

THE SYSTEM FEELS PROUD THAT IT COULD PLEASE THE HOST

" Why does it have punishment attached?"

" It has rewards attached too."

" You are right."

It may sound stupid in people's ears if he told them what happened here today, but he could imagine his best friend's reply.

" Dude, you going nuts or something?"

Despite that, he believed in the system, and at least until proven wrong, he'd continue with the mission.

" Looks like I saved a girl and got a system; this will probably make a good Web novel or comic. How interesting"
