(A/N: hello readers, from this chapter onward, I decided to write in the present tense because I always mix it past with present tense in the paragraph. That's why I write it in all present tense and if it was something from the past I will write it in the past tense, so that won't confused everybody.)
[6:00 AM]
As the morning comes up, Autumn wakes up in a daze as he wondering where he is. Then he remembers that he has died and now he's living in another body not his own anymore. He gets up from the bed and goes to the bathroom to wash up and get ready for work. He begins his day by putting on a formal suit that he bought yesterday. Due to this is the 1st day of his work, he quickly finishes dressing up. He looks at the clock and sees it is 6:30 a.m. right now, he goes to the kitchens and doing a simple breakfast for himself. He begins to ask the system while he is eating breakfast.
"Hey Blackie, how can I communicate with you in public? They will think I'm crazy."
[Host can telepathy to me by saying inside your mind, and I will reply to you through your mind too.]
"Ohh, that's good then." when he nearly finishes his breakfast, he suddenly thinks of something, "Blackie, is there a male lead and female lead in this world?"
[Well host, I don't know specifically about that. But from Lord God provide is that in each world we will travel to it isn't involve around the original not host. That means he doesn't know whether the female and male lead exists or not.]
"Ahhhh... How could it be? Isn't this an individual world for the female lead and the male lead? Why is there no scripts?" He exclaimed loudly as he asks this question.
[Well, it is true this is an individual world but the original host neither has any grievance with anybody that can affect the world plot nor he wants to change his fate. So why we need to bother those with protagonist halo that can lead us to doom?]
"... " he goes silent for a while then he continues, "You have a point there. I understand that. However, what if I meet them accidentally, then will we have the information regarding the world plot and the leading character like in most novels that I read?"
[Wait a minute host, I will go to ask the Lord God.]
As he's waiting for the system to come back, he takes a look at the time at sees it is nearly 7 o'clock. He hurriedly grabs his back and the house to leave for work. He walks to the nearest train station to take the train to his workplace.
He finally arrives at the front door of his work building. He says good morning to the security guard at the front door and walks up to the receptionist. He smiles brightly as he asking the female receptionist where he can find the secretary department. The female receptionist shyly answers him that it was on the 30th floor. He thanks her and walks to the elevator. While he's waiting, the system comes back and reports the news.
[Host, regarding the question that you ask Blackie. I got you an answer. Lord God said that we can say that when the time comes if the host really accidentally meet them, Blackie will alert you and you will experience the world plot but the consequence of getting the plot is that you will involve in it as well by being cannon fodder in the plot.]
[Hey, that is unfair. Why am I a cannon fodder?] he seriously questioned Blackie about it.
[Because you are an outsider unless the host is sent to the male lead body or any character that has an influence on the plot like pushing the plot or maybe relate to male lead and female lead themselves. Otherwise, you will be labeled as cannon fodder by the world's system.]
[Alright, I get it. Shouldn't I get any bonus package for my 1st timer?]
[Technically, host, you ain't the main worker of our system that need to complete missions to get the point in order to improve yourself for the mission that has ranks. You are just a sub worker here due to your debts that you owed those people or we can say you're here to repay the sins that you have caused.]
[Then... Does this mean that I have the freedom to do whatever I want with my life and I'm not restricted by you or Lord God like I can act out of character, right?]
[Well yes. You can act on your free will and not restrict by the system.]
[Oh! that's good. Thank goodness!] For some reason, he feels relieved when he knows that he has his own freedom, and that makes him smiling brightly.
When he got himself back from talking with Blackie, soon he found himself near his stop. He walks out of the elevator and goes to the secretary dept. to report his arrival. He arrives at 7:50 a.m. right before 8:00 a.m. that the work hours start. He was told to go to the highest floor of the building because that's where the CEO's office is located and he needs to work closely with the CEO himself. He turns back to the elevator that he just got off and found this elevator only has up the 54th floor. He keeps staring at the button for a while and decided to press the 54th floor and then he will continue on the staircase to the 56th floor.
Finally, he arrived at the highest floor of the building. He reports to the secretary of the new CEO whose name he doesn't know. Secretary saw him and stand up from his desk and shake hand with Autumn. He begins to introduce himself.
"Hello, Mr. Ivan Coleman. I'm Lance Bronson, secretary of Mr. Andres Estra De Godric who is a new CEO of Godric Group." Lance smiles slightly as he's shaking with Autumn.
'Wow, a noble name in the ancient era.' Autumn thought.
"Hello, Mr. Bronson. Thank you for giving me a chance to be his assistant. I will try my best to assist him in any way possible."
Lance nods his head as to say he understands Autumn. Then he begin to assign the work to Autumn. Autumn's work consists of preparing the schedule for the CEO, sorting and replying to emails, preparing refreshments for the CEO, arranging meetings, interacting with clients and visitors to his office, and some little trivial thing.
"Mr. Godric will arrive at his office at 9 o'clock. Here is some information regarding his taste. Right, you will be responsible for his lunch too. He's allergic to seafood so be careful with that. And more thing is you can include me and you in his lunch order. This is a special treatment to be his assistant and secretary. " As he finished, he returns to his desk to continue his work without looking back.
'What a good boss!' Autumn feel happy inside that he can meet a good boss like that in his life. He begins to familiar with his work in order to not make a good boss angry with him and deduct his salary or worse dismiss him. When he's been working for 50 mins, he feels a little uncomfortable, so he decides to go to the restroom.
As he walking toward the bathroom, he looks around the floor and sees everything is so well-designed and he can feel the luxury in them. 'Rich people' he thinks depressingly. He could only dream about this, he doesn't think in this life he can buy those brand name or spend money like rich people even though his current salary is quite generous.
Due to his walking head down, he doesn't notice the person walking toward him. At that moment, he crushes into that person's chest and falls backward. Noticing the smaller one falling, the bigger one quickly grabs his hand toward himself. Autumn falls into the taller one's embrace and then everything stops.
Suddenly an alarm sounds alert him loudly in his head.
