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
