From the moment that Ai whatever thing pops up, I know deep in my heart that,
'I don't like him.'
It's not because it wears my appearance or anything. It is just because, the way he acts and talks is somehow, not to my liking.
"haa* whatever, now explain... why am I here??"
(well, because this body is the only one suitable to hold the UnEd soul.)
"no- in the first place why am I-"
(Sir, you do hear a message before you fainted in your world before, right?)
That's it. That cheeky way of talking and how he cut my words in the middle. Just how can I like this dude with the way he acts?
He's the type of person that asks for a beating. In the first place, he isn't even a person.
'Should I try to slap him?'
is what playing in my mind a few times but I endure it quite well. If not, he might already be in danger a few times from my temper.
"I did... but so what?"
That Affa guy then rolled his eyes before wearing a such annoyed expression on his face as he answer,
(Can't you get it? you already die in your world!! so the only thing that Universe could do to save you is send you into another person's body!!)
"i get it... but why would the 'universe' want to save me!!?? because I'm the UnEd Soul? that's it??"
That just sounds unreasonable to me. What's so special about this UnEd soul to the point that the Universe itself moves to save it?
"do the world collapse just because I'm gone!? hah!!?? is that it??"
Remark me sarcastically, although I already know that it's impossible. But that guy Affa, he who doesn't know that I just say it out of annoyance, suddenly laughs at me. Like true disbelief in my statement.
(pfftt* who do you think you're?? a god?? why would the world collapse-)
And that's really the beginning of it.
The beginning of my snap and asura mode.
flick*
(ouch!!! why would you flick my head!!??-)
As an asura, I decide to punish him with a rainy finger flick.
flick*
(ahh* why-)
flick*
(wai-)
flick*
(no please... why would you do that to me??)
My finger then stops with that teary questioning plead. I stare at him for a long time with a cold stare before replying,
"As the owner of UnEd soul... I just did what I suppose to do."
(What that's supposed to mean!?)
"well... even if you ask me, you should know better, right?)
(hel-upp)
This time before he went and says something bad to me, Affa quickly restrain himself just in time I was about to launch my ultimate finger flick move.
"tsk- you stop so fast... why not keep talking so that I could enjoy this a little longer?"
('the hell with this guy. He's insane!!)
That is what Affa thought, even so, this move of him is a little stupid.
"you do know that the system displays your curse thought to me, right?"
State me while pointing my finger towards the screen that displays above his head. At that display, all his thoughts towards me were already spoiled.
(hiekk!!!*)
Affa lets out a shrieking voice, surprised by what was written on his head. He didn't know that the system will betray him this way.
(how could you do this to me, system!!!??-)
but I didn't care and just went and flick his head once again. And the system even smug at him.
[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]
Seem like they enjoy his suffering.
(ouch!!! ahhhh* stop please...)
He begs me once again. More like a whine to me.
"depends on your behaviour... get it? if not, i'm not gonna just let it end with just a flick, understand?"
(...I get it okay? haa* ... what now??)
Ask him, suddenly confused about what to say more after all the punishment he received.
"well... explain about before."
haa*
Affa sighed at my persistence. Yet i ignore it.
(Even if you ask me... I am also not sure about it... it was something that always happen involving UnEd soul. I as a guide and even the system themselves, do not know much. When the Universe commend, we could only follow.)
He then shrugs his shoulder as a gesture of 'don't know'. Even the system above his head shows the emoticon of a shrug.
[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]
I stare at them both in silence.
"...."
There's no need for me to further prey on it as I already know that their words don't seem to be a lie. Perhaps it was true that their higher-ups were hiding it from them. As I myself am aware of what it's like to live as just a worker below.
"Alright... whatever... now let's talk about something else."
Affa's expression then changes drastically from my words.
(yes, just ask me anything, sir!!!)
He looks excited to change the topic. Perhaps he worried that I will finger-flick him once again.
"first of all, you say before that you're a tutorial guide or Ai something... As far as I know, if we're talking about the tutorial, isn't it like the one in the game? The one that is given to players who play for the first time?"
(Exactly, sir. I will guide you until what is needed before disappearing.)
"then... if you disappear....will this like a game system, disappear too?"
Affa then shakes his head a few times before replying,
(No. It will stay with sir until sir level-up to the max and finish the quest!!!)
‘until max level…??’
If I’m not mistaken if we talking about level, some games required 999 levels to say a max. So what about this system then?
“what level is max?”
(level 100 is the max, sir. In this world including your last world, no one can go beyond 100. No, the limit of humans is 99 only.)
The more I listen to Affa, the more I like the way he talks now.
“wait… then why am I 100?”
(because sir is the holder of UnEd Soul. So please don’t expect sir to be the same.)
‘the hell… what that got to do with-’
(Universal is vast. If we drop humans among the universal, they will look like a drop from the ocean. So nothing can compare between sir and human.)
Then if we take that as the logic. Isn’t that mean, the gap between that one level from 99 to 100 is so big, even though it seems small?
“It's really just beyond my imagination how amazing you make it sound like.”
(because sir soul was indeed that amazing.)
“haa* alright alright… whatever. Now… just what exactly tutorial are you talking about?"
(Tutorial is when I will explain to you a few things regarding the system.)
"i get that, I just want you to guide me now?"
(Before that, sir... I think you will need to see something else first.)
"something else? what is it?"
I tilted my head, questioning his words. Affa then smirks mischievously.
(your perk as UnEd soul's owner.)
"perk?"
'is it like a beginner gift stuff or what?'
(hehehe* The host can’t wait to see it any longer too, right?)
“just why are you looking so smug?”
(let’s open the perk!!)
“wait I’m not ready-”
Ding*
[the perk will now open]
***************
To be continued.
A bright light then shine before my eyes and blinded me. I close my eyes, not able to face them. After a few seconds, Affa's bright voice then reaches my ear. (Ta-da!!! it's your beginner gift, sir!! take a look!!) Urge him as I open my eyes to see it, Dudun* A screen window displayed in front of me shows a few words and an item. But before I read all of it, what catches my eye the most is that item. "This..." A small item with a suitable length to carry. It's something that has always been with me in my past world while I was in my class. A teaching stick or pointer made of rattan. Such an Asia thing for me. "What a nostalgic item..." Remark me as I click on the item on the window without Affa telling me to. The item then drops on my left hand that I click on it. I eyed the item a couple of times before slashing to my left to try it first. swoosh* A sound comes out through my action. It's a satisfying sound to my ear. "in the past, every time I take this out... I remember
'so this time... instead of taking my time... I need to hurry up and finish it quickly.'is my plan for this life. 'but for now...'I have to finish this explanation thing quickly before I started."Hey, Affa."(Yes, sir.)"That quest thing... you say before that i finish 49 per 50 of my quest... so why it went to 51 now?"(ah... about that, your main quest for the 50th is the Revenge quest... but as an encouragement for you, the system had made a bonus quest that related to the main one with a clue as a reward)"so it's just an encouragement... and that question mark thing is the reward and a clue, huh..."The thing that I saw at the bottom of the quest window explanation,[Reward: ???]That must be a clue that the quest talking about. But Affa then says something else to my murmur.(it may be a clue and maybe a solution itself!!)'hoh... that's quite tempting...'Because if it's really a solution itself, then, that quest for revenge would be easier. Just, from that, it makes me thi
Even if this world is not in a state of emergency, invaded by those monsters. Sooner or later, this world will eventually meet its demise through humans.Don't they see? How wrecked this earth is? many trees were cut down, hills were levelled, smoke from the factory contributes to globalisation and many other things. The count of terror that humans do to mother earth can't even be numbered.The cost of their inhuman activity isn't just affecting human life, even animals were involved.Can't they see how miserable those animals are? their home is gone!!"So why should I save them!?"(...because you're a human too.)haa*I snort at Affa's answer. My eyes rolled to the side but I didn't retort back.Cause I know that what he says was right.I admit that I was one of that humans. Perhaps there are things that I did that led to it too.However, isn't it enough now? Why must we keep going destroying everything?When we think like this, isn't it better for me to refuse this? So that I will
Soon that thought was also quickly erased.huu*I take a breath, organizing my thoughts.'my plan had gone smoothly just now...'It's really something. However, whenever I had that thought, I realized how feeble the universe is. Just with a little touch, they quickly crumble to my threat.'Hey Universe, are you okay with this?'Isn't you being a pushover right now?Is this world safe with a Universe like this?I feel like the moment I wear that thought, the Universe looks at me like an odd child and some might sit like Buddha, trying not to mind my questions.'I mean... they really different from the book or manhwa I read though.'Isn't usually in manhwa, a thing like a system would have some kind of power to control the people who received their power? or something.And the guy with the power would have no way to fight the system.'if they have to kill, they kill.'But this one, they're so full of expression.'just look at that guy.'The system and Affa seem to be staring at each oth
From the books and map of the academy that I found, I learn a lot and was able to make some schedule for this week. Of course in the first place, I didn't have much to do about it, just look for a suitable place for the field trip and today I need to ask for permission to use the place that I choose. Even so, it's not like that was the only thing that I could accomplish in the limited time I had. Two days was enough for me to digest this world-built setting. The setting of this world is modern a little + old. Some of their buildings are modern and it's limited to only a few places like a city. Their most prestige buildings have lifts but it was operated by using magic power. Their train also operated using mana or magic. To communicate, they have a cubic-like shape communicator. It sends a message, a voice call, and even a video call like a telephone and there's even a device that functions like a fax. And their hunter's equipment was the same as in my old world. Not to mention,
30 minutes before 8 am, somebody comes to my office. Tok Tok Tok* I open my sleepy eyes, stretching before asking them to enter. Welcoming them while standing up for politeness. ""Hello."" ""Excuse our intrusion."" Turnout they are the optional subject teachers that stay in the same building as me. They came from other offices to another to greet all optional subject teachers. Three of them. They introduce themselves from the back on the right to left, Theo and Asfar, they are both commoners, while the woman in front is a noble from baron rank like me, Esmelda Rothchild. I also introduce myself to them and keep chattering with them before we reach the point I asked them about this building's residents. Esmelda says, "All the teachers on this floor and the second floor belong to the Optional subject teacher. We are not as many as the regular teachers. And by the way, we come from above to the first floor only to greet. Though there's still other floors above it-" "It's because t
'but he said the teacher was from an optional class.'Devon turned to his classmate."Hey, how do you know he's from an optional class!?"he asked, wanting to be sure. His classmate's face started to frown."hey? I'm not hey. I'm Regen!! call me Regen."Regen said, not liking Devon calling him that. Devon's eyes widened slightly at Regen's scolding. But at the same time, he seems to have heard that name.'Regen..?'After thinking for a moment, He then realized where he had heard that name.'ah- that person with the same score as me together with that girl!!'Yes, correct.Regen is one of the two other people who got the highest score like him on the list of new students. When he found out that his score was the same as two other people, he immediately saw the names of those people. And he remembered his name from the list.Regen.From his name, Devon knew that this man was a commoner unlike him and that girl. But he didn't care bout that fact at all.All he had was curious about who t
My pupil lost its focus. I stare at Affa, agitated.This statement from him, really makes me speechless.'no- there's no way. This- Perhaps...'I want to deny this reality, so I ask again,"I he-hear it wrong, right? yes!!! there's no way it's 35, right?? hahaha*"My hands that grip my pants were trembling. I let out an awkward laugh trying to stop the tremor that might slip my lips.But Affa quickly replies, kill me.(Nope~ he really just level 35.)'the h*ll...'he then promptly explains.(the average awakening level of this world is level 16. Passing level 20, it will be more difficult to level up. That's why the emperor can only level up to level 35. He can no longer progress rapidly without your help past that point. )huu*i take a deep breath before letting it out. I put my hands on the table trying to suppress my collapsing mind. 'let's think this through.'Attempting to understand this more straightly. I say,"...You have said that to me before, but I thought... not to this
The students disperse, exchanging furtive glances as Damish's lackey shoots us a final glare before ushering Damish to leave. However, Damish remains rooted in place, gazing intently at us, deep in thought. Liara, still visibly shaken, meets my eyes with a blend of gratitude and uncertainty. "Thank you, sir," she murmurs, her voice barely audible. Disregarding Damish, I approach Liara and give her a nod. "Focus on your training. Don't let their petty behavior distract you. You have every right to be here, just like anyone else." "Yes, sir. Of course." "If you need assistance with your abilities, feel free to ask." "Um, sir, can I ask you a few things?" "What is it?" "It's about elements. You see, my element is lightning, and my awakening power is a lightning bolt. There are others with the same element, but it seems there's a limitation in using our powers. Why is that?" It's a question I once had when I first arrived here. In all honesty, awakening powers in this world diffe
My gaze shifts from them to the girl, who is nervously fidgeting with her staff. I decide to address her directly."What's your name?" I inquire calmly."Um, it's Liara, sir," she responds, still visibly shaken."Liara, do you understand how to control your abilities?" I ask.She nods hesitantly."Yes, sir. I've been practicing, but at times, it becomes challenging to control. Even so, today, I genuinely didn't cause anything that—""Stop trying to make excuses! Haven't you already admitted that you're not yet proficient with your power? You almost killed us today!" One of the young master's lackeys interjects, attempting to paint Liara as more guilty. Liara quickly retorts, "No! I didn't do it! You're lying—""Hah, what the heck are you saying? Everyone here saw you. Isn't that right, everyone?"However, when this happens, the lackey swiftly argues, rallying everyone watching to support their narrative. Thus, other students who were incited by him quickly follow his example and agree
"He must be fatigued."(tired?)"You see, Affa, I'm not sure about your age, but do you know how old Meor is?"(around 75 this year?)"What's with the question? Anyway, someone at that age is usually referred to as a grandfather and may have grandchildren."(but you don't-"Flick*(argh-૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა)"Not only that, our bones at that age are not what they used to be. Even though I know he's awakened, it doesn't change the fact that we're getting older."Moreover, Meor was a commander.How many years had he been on the battlefield? What kind of experiences has he gone through? No one knows that as well as he does. No matter how powerful a person may be, if they have to endure all those challenges for years, they will surely grow weary of it."Tired. It's not just physically but also mentally. That guy just wants to rest now, just like me. However, how absurd and frustrating it must be for him to be forced by the emperor to work again. Though it's not the same job as he used to do, it wo
The next day arrives, and I complete all my tasks for the day before heading to the principal's office, as Gina had instructed me to do. Upon reaching the office, I hear voices inside, indicating that the principal is in a discussion. I debate whether to knock on the door or wait. It seems their conversation is reaching its conclusion, but remaining silent might give the impression of eavesdropping. After contemplating for a moment, I decide to knock. knock, knock The conversation abruptly stops, and Gina opens the door for me. "Sir Dhaffa, please come in." I nod at her before turning my attention to the principal and the man with him. 'Who is it?' Although still curious, the principal greets me. "You've arrived, Sir Dhaffa. Please take a seat." I nod and walk toward them. "Am I interrupting, Sir Meor?" Meor glances at the man in front of him and then back at me, giving a slight wave of his hand. "Nah, we're finished here, right, Sir Adam?" "Yes, we're already done." Adam
Despite the irritating thoughts that buzzed in my mind, the principal's words found their way to my ears."I understand that you might perceive this as absurd, but I have full confidence in your ability to handle this admirably."I fixed the principal with a skeptical gaze for a moment, but then my expression softened, and I addressed him, "Principal Meor, if you don't mind me saying..."The principal nodded, giving me permission to speak, and I continued, "I'm a relatively new instructor here, and my presence is rather inconspicuous. It's quite intriguing that the higher-ups have taken notice of me and recommended me for this role, don't you think?"There was a fleeting change in the principal's expression, a momentary shift that I keenly observed. The principal then voiced his response,"Your observation is not without merit," he admitted. "It is true that you are a relatively recent addition to our academy's staff, and your previous work has been rather... plain. Therefore, I find
My eyebrows furrowed at the revelation. Gina's introduction suggested an official business, and it piqued my interest. The principal held significant authority at the Royal Hunter Academy. "Academy's principal?" I repeated, my tone more composed than before. "What business does the academy's principal have with me?" Gina appeared relieved that I was now taking her seriously. "The principal requests your presence for a meeting, sir. It concerns a matter of utmost importance. I understand that you value your weekend, but this is a matter of great urgency." I considered her words for a moment, weighing the inconvenience of having my weekend interrupted against the urgency implied in her message. The principal wouldn't summon me without reason, and if it was a matter of significance, I had a responsibility to address it. "Very well," I finally conceded. "I will accompany you to the office. Let me make the necessary preparations." Gina nodded appreciatively. "Thank you for your underst
"So, to begin with, following the completion of the Magic Train project as per your instructions, we've been diligently working on the Flying Ship," Alvis explained. "However, due to our current commitments in developing the magical infrastructure and aligning it with other countries, the Flying Ship project had to be temporarily put on hold." I acknowledged Alvis's explanation with a nod of understanding. I had observed the efforts of Alvis and my other disciples prior to my arrival, and the noticeable improvements in various aspects of infrastructure and construction were a testament to their dedication. "The progress I've seen, from the buildings to the roads, is a clear indication of your hard work and the power of magic," I thought to myself. (You must be feeling quite proud, aren't you?) Affa remarked with a snort, casting me a sidelong glance as if to remind me that these achievements were largely thanks to the previous Dhaffa, not me. I couldn't deny that fact, and I replie
I continued to explore Central Elvan City, captivated by the architecture and the blend of modernity with the aesthetics of a bygone era. The city was bustling with activity, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at how seamlessly they had integrated technology with their historical surroundings. As I walked down the cobblestone streets, I noticed street vendors selling all sorts of goods, from exotic foods to handmade crafts. The air was filled with the aroma of delicious dishes, and the lively chatter of the locals added to the vibrant atmosphere. I decided to visit a nearby market, where stalls were adorned with colorful fabrics and intricate jewelry. It was a sensory delight, with the vibrant colors and textures invoking a sense of wonder. I couldn't resist picking up a few souvenirs to remember this unique experience. Next, I ventured to a quaint café tucked away in a charming alley. It had a rustic charm that was both inviting and relaxing. I ordered a cup of their speci
I stare down at my student that fidgeting among them. They were all didn't know how to answer me and some even looking so clueless. Haa*Thus sigh comes out from my mouth is enough to make them flinch. At the Meantime, I ask "what are my two class?" "Dungeon & Monster and... Moral and ethics, sir." Devon answer me despite looking slightly frightened. I thus smile and nods, saying. "right... That are the two of them. So now, the question is, which lesson is obviously shown to you in this time trip?" "Dungeon & monster!!" The students shout in unison, breaking me into farther grin and nodding again. I continued, "right... The Dungeon & monster subject... The assignment that related to it is this dungeon and... The monster that you guys catch. That report that you guys need to write after this. It's related to that subject. So then... Where is the other subject's lesson, you might think~ing... But truthfully... It's already given to you guys before. "" eh? "" what he's talking
