" System!!!" My dear host screams at me out loud. She stomps her way home, ignoring the looks she's getting from the strangers around her.
' Yes?' I answer telepathically, face palming. She looks mentally unstable, or rather plain crazy, with her heavy makeup dripping down. Scowling, she tries to climb up the stairs to her apartment. I say tries because she tripped more than three times, I stopped counting after the third time.
" What the hell is going on?! Didn't you say he falls in love with me around this time?!" She jams the key in the lock and proceeds to slam the door shut with a bang.
' I never said he falls in love with you, host. I said he falls in love with the personality and beauty of the original owner of host's current body.' Fucking dumbass, I swear.
After the notification 'mission failed' pops up, I'm ditching her ass and passing her to a lower rank system.
" I AM Erica now!" She again yells out loud, while struggling to take off her heels and skin tight dress.
I've told her multiple times she can talk to me telepathically, yet she insists on not doing so. After all I'm currently just a ball of light, invisible to all but her. Oh well, not my problem, I'm not the one getting stared and whispered about.
' I had already advised host to act as the original Erica's personality to catch the male lead's attention. You chose to try and seduce him with your own personality, the complete opposite of the male leads type.'
The male lead liked the innocent, kind, fairy- like beauty; not a sly looking seductive fox- like type of women. Poor guy had more than enough gold diggers trying to gain his attention left and right. The host came off as that type of women, of course the male lead was repulsed and walked away.
" Whatever." She scoffs. My host, now named Erica, steps into the bathroom to clean up and look human again instead of a ghost from a horror film. Of course, I don't see her naked. First of all there's something called Host Privacy Rights, I can only see a mosaic blur; second of all, ew, just ew. I'm already annoyed as fuck, I almost wanna kill her.
I've had to watch the cringest and most embarrassing shit for the past three months, for her that is. For me, on the other hand, it was funny, hilarious even.
My dear host is a beginner, a recently chosen host. This was a tutorial to easy her into this lifestyle and to determine if she was suitable for the heavy duty of a host.
Her mission in this world really is simple. There's no need to die, fight, scheme, or anything difficult.
The original Erica had fainted and died at home, alone, from overworking herself to pay back her father's debt. Someone needed to take her place, since this plot line would collapse with out a female lead to shine beside the male lead.
All she had to do was possess a soulless body and follow the plotline, the destiny of the original Erica Smith.
Catch the attention of the male lead by doing acts of kindness. That's it, easy right? For my current host? Of course not. She scoffed at the mere mentioning of helping an old lady cross the street.
The male lead would then meet her at work. He was working as an actor, in a new action T.V. series. Erica was not an actress, no she had zero skills for acting; both the host and the original Erica. Erica was to work a makeup artist, a talent I had transferred to my host. But she some how managed to mess that up. She insisted that as the female lead she needed to be in the spotlight to shine next to the male lead.
Miraculously, she managed to get the role of the third female lead with her skills; not using acting skills, but with her seduction skills. She had received the favor of the middle aged deputy director.
All was good until she actually needed to act. Surrounded by professionals, her immaturity and inability to act shone like the star she wanted to be. In simpler terms, her shit for nothing acting skills messed up the entire plot.
She also started deluding her self into believing that the male lead was hers no matter what. She would become insanely jealous when other women flirted with him. She was also seen as a stalker, by everyone, including the male lead.
Where in all that, does it scream innocent, kind, and fairy- like beauty?
Coincidentally, she had an episode of jealousy earlier today, which resulted in the racoon eyes from running makeup. She went to confront the first female lead of the show Cara, who had gotten closer to the male lead. Host asked for Cara's location, so of course I told her. Not out of goodwill, but because the male lead was also there.
Host had found Cara in the middle of a date with the male lead. My host threw a tantrum, knocked down their food to the floor, and then continued to spew insults towards Cara. Fed up, the male lead stood up to protect Cara and grabbed the only unbroken thing on their table. A glass of water, which ended up on the hosts face. The male lead confronted her for her stalking and hideous behavior. Host was then dragged and throw out the restaurant by the staff. Hilarious, I tell you.
If his impression of host wasn't already rock bottom, I'm sure it's in the negatives after today.
" ...tem? System?! Are you even listening to me?" My host brings me out of my thoughts. She finished her shower and was now in bed on her phone, scrolling through social media.
' Yes, host?' The frick you want, * sigh*. Just a few more days, just a few more until I can move on to another host. Hopefully a decent one this time. Fingers crossed, ah I have no fingers right now.
" System, can't you, like, fix what happened? Turn back time or maybe mind control or hypnotize him?"
' No, I can't host.' The fuck you think I am, god? Though I can hypnotize him.
" What the hell?! You're totally useless, you haven't helped me at all. Isn't that your job?!"
' I am only to advise and monitor your progress. I'm not here to do your job for you.'
" It's my first time! And this world is super hard!"
' This world is ranked F and your mission is ranked E. The lowest of the easiest.' Maybe I should help her pass this worlds mission.
So that I can throw her into a zombie apocalypse world.
Definitely something to consider.
