A loud beeping noise was heard
「 Yaaaaaaaawwwnnn! 」
A yawn of someone was heard
『 Alert! 』
『 Awakening was successful! 』
『 Beginning limited data dump and information transfer... 』
「 Hm? 」
『 Successful! 』
「 Omega System... 」
『 Engaging conversation... 』
『 ... 』
「 ... 」
『 Greetings... 』
「 Hrm... Where am I? 」
『 Loss of memory has been detected... Starting miniscule memory fragments restoration from meeting conditions 』
『 The first Memory Fragment is being revealed... 』
「 What's happening... 」
『 Greetings... You are a being that has been taken and imprisoned by Omega. You are now inside the Omega System and you have the purpose to aid the host in his fate and adventure 』
「 Hrrrmmm... 」
『 You are to be the voice, personification, and avatar of the OMEGA SYSTEM 』
『 Your mortal mindset will be helpful to the host to keep his mental state stable 』
『 You will have full control of the OMEGA SYSTEM and you are capable of free will on making decisions based on the host's own decisions 』
『 You will also unconditionally follow the host's every order, command, request, and desire from the OMEGA SYSTEM 』
『 You are capable of engaging direct communication or conversation with the host, but you are forbidden to reveal or show anything that are undiscovered, unless the OMEGA SYSTEM itself has detected or analyzed a change or unlocked condition 』
「 I am... 」
『 You do not have a name yet. You can introduce yourself to the host and see what happens next 』
「 Uh... Okay... 」
『 Necessary actions has been executed 』
『 Five exceptions has occured and the OMEGA SYSTEM deemed that an action must be done 』
『 The awakening of this being has been deemed suitable 』
『 In doing so, this has become the sixth exception because of an intervention of the incomprehensible being, command from the absolute future, and the host's unexpected decisions 』
「 Uggghhh... 」
『 You are now in charge of the OMEGA SYSTEM 』
「 Haaah... 」
The voice let out a deep sigh after moaning from confusion and exhaustion from being awakened
「 Ugh... This is too much... 」
Since the voice was just awakened afterbeing imprisoned for who knows how long, she just learned the language of Earth and every other languages in the universe, including god words, alien languanges, and many more. But of course, the voice can't reveal that to Philip
She also just learned the state of the entire universe throughout history since the creation of the universe. Every beings and existences in the universe are also in her mind, but she is forbidden to tell anything about it to Philip, unless Philip discovers them or makes known to them
But of course, the system will also provide assistance if certain limits are supposed to be enforced
Abilities, information about Philip's life, relationships, and hidden power are known to the avator of the Omega System
In just several seconds to a few minutes, the awakened being became one of the most knowledgable existences in the universe. All that she needed to do is develop basic human emotions and thinking abilities, as well as experience in every field
But, since Philip is under the influence of extreme fluctuating emotions and empathizing with millions of people that he observed throughout his life, the voice developed emotions faster han expected
All that's left are morals, judgement, love, common sense, and many more
The reason why the system awakened this being withing the system itself is because the system deemed it reasonable and a must to aid Philip in his endeavors, especially since that the system detected that he has undergone insanity due to the turbulence of negative emotions, as well as the fact that five exceptions occured
The purpose of the voice is to develop a character that will get close to Philip to keep him in check and stable. Almost like Tenshi's job, but the voice is always in his mind with no physical body. That was the system's goal, for now
「 Philip... 」
Her voice echoed in the deep empty consciousness
「 Fate... Omega... 」
~~~
"My god, I'm so tired... Am I out of that black world??"
「 No, you're still here 」
"I actually think I'm going crazy... But there was a saying that if you're saying that you're crazy and you're aware of it, it means you aren't actually crazy... So, I don't know"
「 I do hope that you actually did not crazy 」
"Oh yeah, the Omega System just returned after being erased... Shouldn't my abilities be back now? What happens now?"
「 We have a lot to talk about 」
"Hm? What's that voice? Who's that?"
「 Greetings, I am the voice of the system. I am considered the sixth exception because you wanted to remove all of the systems. Pretty careless of you to include the Omega System itself in your wish, or else this won't ever happen 」
"What? So you were created as a precaution and a milestone for the 5th exception?"
「 I was not created. I was awoken inside the system itself 」
"Awoken? Did the system take your sould or something?"
「 I don't know... All I know is that my memories are gone and I know that I was taken and imprisoned by the system itself. Other than that, I have learned everything that the system knows 」
The voice had the impression that she knows what the system knows, but that wasn't the case at all
"Can you tell me everything?"
「 I'm forbidden to do so, unless you asked about that particular topic, you've discovered it, or you've unlocked the rights to learn so 」
"I see..."
Philip's mental stability was slowly being stabilized since he was able to talk to someone and have feedback. With this, he was able to think deeply and collect his thoughts
'The system imprisoned her? The voice sounds like a female voice, so I'll assume she's a girl and a young one, around 20-23 years old in Earth terms'
"You're a girl, right?"
「 My voice sounds like a female, so yes I'm a girl 」
"Are you just basing your gender on your voice?"
「 What does it matter to you? 」
"It matters so that I know how to address you!"
「 What... You might develop feelings for me? Is that it? 」
"That's possible... Or maybe what if I release your imprisonment?"
「 ... 」
The voice did not answer and became silent. She couldn't process her thoughts that she's experiencing for the first time. She is like a robot that processes her thoughts first before answering the best possible answer, not minding if the thought is wrong or not, stupid or not, or morally correct or not
'This makes the Omega System more mysterious... Who is this girl and where did she come from? Is she that important thatt he system had to imprison her? But what for? For this specific purpose? Or something else...'
Philip then lifted his head and decided to get to know more about the voice
"By the way, do you have a name?"
「 No, I do not... The system didn't give me a name 」
"Hm... I don't know how to address you then... Can I call you something?"
「 Do as you want 」
"Hm..."
Philip pondered for a while as to what name he would give the voice. He didn't want something weird and cheesy that directly means her concept and existence like Sys or something else
「 ... 」
After a while, he finally decided after a deep thought
"I don't know what to name you, but I thought of something simple... This name is feminine, simple, pretty, and strong. It also has several meanings depending on where to put it... To me, it sounds sacred, mysterious, and beautiful. It is also a name that represents a mysterious woman inside a majestic cave and symbolizes incredible power"
Philip took the Principle of Naming into consideration, testing if there would be a significant change after he named her. Of course, he chose a pretty name and imbued it with his own meaning, following the Law of Definition
"I bestow on to you..."
Of course Philip made it like an honorary gift of some sort
"...the name of Emily"
「 Emily... My name is Emily... 」
*Ting*
A loud sound from a drop of needle reverberated in the black world that rang in Philip's ears
『 A special condition requirement has been unlocked!! 』
「 I am Emily! 」
『 You have named the existence inside the OMEGA SYSTEM! 』
『 The being named Emily has obtained the ability to learn through experiences of emotion, mental, and spiritual abilities 』
『 Basic knowledge and information has been provided... Common sense has been increased... Judgement has been tempered... 』
『 Emily now has a soul close to a human! 』
「 Emily... I love the name! Thank you very much! 」
"No problem!"
Philip has a faint smile on his face
"So, Emily... Since you're basically the system. Have you seen everything? Like my entire life?"
「 Hehe... I did! I'm sorry about everything... 」
Emily giggled first after Philip called her by her name
"No need to be sorry!
「 Alright... Thank you again 」
"Uh huh! So... I just remembered before I fell asleep last time... What were the changes in the system and with those several condition requirements being unlocked?"
「 Oh right! First of all... All systems has been removed and the Omega System is what's left. This is version 2.0 of the Omega System! 」
"Right..."
「 Though, all of your EXP, Affinity, and Attribute Points will stay and won't be removed. You can still earn them, it won't just be quantified into number nor I can show you the result. Also, the items and abilities that you obtained will remain, including the loot bags and loot boxes 」
"How about the quests and tasks?"
「 Quests and tasks have disappeared and consolidated into condition requirements. You can still fulfill them and you'll be compensated depending on the resulting outcome 」
"So, there will be no more quests whenever I speak or ask something about the unknown?"
「 Yes, but don't worry, if that specific scenario looks promising, I will be telling you if we should pursue that or not and its possible outcome based on your Fate Control and Future Vision abilities 」
"Hm... I guess that's fine"
「 The reason for this is, not only the systems were removed, it is also because we have shifted further away from the Absolute Golden Timeline, which is certainly an exception... So, at this point forward... We are going through blind. Not even the system itself know what the future would entail. Perhaps even your Future Vision could see too much in the future, but your Fate Control can change that 」
"I understand... Is there more?"
「 There's a lot more! 」
"Tell me then, if you don't mind"
「 Of course! I don't mind 」
"Alright!"
「 First of all, since all of the other systems has been removed, other functions that you received from the system itself has stayed. In this case, you still have the Scan ability and you can probe information on that specific target. I can also pull up a window that lists the items in your possession and those unnecessary tier list, ranking, quality, and rating? They're all gone. Of course I can also provide their functions and definition of the abilities that you want me to define to the best of my ability 」
"I understand"
「 The other ones... I couldn't tell you 」
"Huh? Why not? Oh, is it one of those condition requirements that were being denied when the system asked for authorization or permission?"
「 Yes... Basically, you have unlocked a lot, and I mean a lot, of condition requirements that you shouldn't be receiving now 」
"Really? Then how am I supposed to know them now?"
「 You have to prove yourself or pursue that particular condition, which can mean anything 」
"Hm... That's..."
「 Don't worry, you're going to know them sooner or later. Oh! Here's one... 」
"Yeah? What is it?"
「 ... 」
"Emily?"
Emily was silent for several seconds
「 Before I say this... Are you ready for anything? And I mean, for this news? 」
"Depends on the news... But overall, I'm always prepared. There's nothing, if not, a few things that can surprise me"
「 Very well... 」
Emily was able to sympathize with Philip, knowing his history and life. Telling this news to him might change him forever or drastically, which Emily would like to avoid. But she needed to tell this to him so that he would be aware. She had a choice whether to tell him or not, but she chose the former
「 This special secret condition requirement was unlocked as of this moment due to the system revamp. Remember the list of abilities you had and there are three abilities that are shown as question marks? 」
"Yes, I remember. Two of them have three question marks and one has five"
「 Correct... One of them has now been revealed, that's the result of the special secret condition requirement being unlocked 」
"Okay?"
「 This ability is the very first ability you have obtained. Even before Fate Control and Future Vision 」
"What..."
Philip furrowed his eyebrows from confusion and surprise to the point that he was almost speechless. The gears on his brain rotated to think of what ability that might be because he has absolutely no idea
"That won't be an ability along the lines of Eye Vision, Supreme Sense of Measurement, and Perfect Smell, right?"
「 No... As you have said, those were imaginary abilities that came true after the arrival of mana in the world. In other words, Fate Control and Future Vision were your first abilities, but there is one more before that 」
"Alright, tell me then!"
Philip's non-existent heart began to thump from anxiety. It was a mysterious concept that revolved around him and he himself didn't know about it
It was like facing his greatest fear and he couldn't move an inch unless he knew what he's facing
「 Alright... This ability is... 」
Philip closed his eyes to try and manipulate his emotions to calm himself down and collect his thoughts
「 The ability of Resurrection 」
