Chapter 5 - 05. "I'm a certified male, okay?!"

It's my second eldest sister's birthday today so in honor of this special day, I'm releasing this extra chapter! Enjoy the read!

. . .

'Those evil creatures.'

The air around her was filled with evil intent that she cleared away with a soft helpless sigh then proceeded to wear her clothes.

When she finished, she heard some beeping noises so hurriedly left the bathroom. But even then the noise was still there. As if it was following her!

Something was following her?!

[System Booting. Restarting All Programs]

[System Successfully Booted!]

[Congratulations! The host has successfully unlocked the 5G Necklace System.]

[5G Necklace ready to use.]

[Target Missions Activated.]

[Random Missions Activated.]

Luna had her mouth gaping in shock when these weird messages started popping up right in front of her on a clear screen!

A holographic screen?!

No matter where she turned it turned with her! The last time she saw something like this was in that void!

When the mechanic voice finished talking a black holographic cat popped out of nowhere! It was resting its paws on the screen with its body all curled up. It looked up at Luna with its bright greenish-blue eyes slightly wide open.

"Sachi?" Luna's voice was calm but there was still a hint of surprise present.

She didn't think she would be able to see this familiar black cat even after coming out of the void. It looked just like Sachi from the white void but there was no collar this time so she wasn't sure.

After she died as Sophia in the fire, she found herself in a white space.

Everything was white, besides a few panels of directions that explained to her the things she could do in the beginning nothing else happened nor did anything else pop up.

In there she couldn't talk. Perhaps because she tried to kill herself by biting her tongue at the beginning of her ordeal or as an after-effect of coming to the void, she didn't have a voice.

She got her legs back but she couldn't use them nor move them as if they were still cut from the knee below.

Perhaps to make things even, she was able to use her hands though. Her fingers were back and they were working perfectly fine like they were never cut in the first place.

In that white void, there was a black cat with her. It was the only other living thing in that void beside Sophia herself.

It had on a cute baby pink collar with a big bell ornament. On it was the name of the cat though that was all there was. She had checked for more information on this cat from the tag, but only its name and fancy design were at the back.

No words.

No contact.

Sachi, the black cat stayed with her and cuddled with her. It couldn't speak with her and she couldn't do the same but neither felt uncomfortable.

In that white void, you were able to conjure up anything that wasn't living.

From books to steaming hot food to the most comfortable furniture, she could get anything from a single thought.

She couldn't move but with the void being as it was, she researched mechanical parts and coding to make herself a robot. It helped her move from place to place in the very comfortable and advanced wheelchair that she made.

She found out a long time after being in that void together with Sachi that Sachi could transform into a big and mighty black panther.

There were those times when Sophia would turn the white void into different places and sitting on top of Sachi as a panther, they would just endlessly stroll around.

It was a peaceful time, just the two of them.

She spent her time reading and doing anything and everything that she could do to keep away her boredom. She loved to learn new things but she never got the chance to do that after her mother passed away when she was nine.

Her father didn't care about her nor did he talk to her much until a year and a half later when he took the initiative to talk to her and said he wanted to adopt a daughter.

He said he felt guilty that he was distancing himself from her after her mother's death but that he wanted to make up for it by getting her a younger sister to play with.

She agreed. She wanted to play with a younger sister!

Her mother also told her that she would have a younger sister to play with when she was alive so she was looking forward to getting a younger sister.

Not wanting to think about that b*tch Layla, Sophia shook her head and got out of her reverie.

"Greetings to Master Sophia!" Sachi nodded his head slightly to acknowledge her question before he got up on his four paws very quickly and bowed to her by bending his fronts paws with one of his paws lifted!

This surprised Sophia even more. Why was Sachi bowing to her?

"What master? Explain." Why was Sachi here? Why was Sachi suddenly calling her master? More importantly, was Sachi always able to speak?

Perhaps it was because she made it sound like an order, or how her blueish grey eyes glared at him as if putting a cold sword was at his throat, Sachi began to talk.

"Master Sophia, I am Sachi, your familiar. I come with the 5G Necklace System."

"Familiar? 5G Necklace System? Explain in detail. " Sophia had her arms crossed and she continued to look at Sachi that was now sitting on its hind legs in the air.

Its front paws were straight and tensed like the legs of a saluting soldier. If he was a human you would probably see his back in the process of getting drenched in a cold sweat!

"Do you remember the necklace you got on your last mission before you were trapped in that room?" Luna nodded her head.

She got that necklace at the cost of her life just so she could gift it to her little sister for her 18th birthday, but fate had other things planned for her apparently.

After getting caught by her family she was mentally lost and didn't even care about where she placed the necklace or where it was at the moment.

"That necklace didn't disappear nor did you lose it." Luna raised her brows when Sachi continued his words.

"When you were given your first aphrodisiac you seemed to have lost the necklace but it stayed with you the entire time. For some reason, it got connected to your soul when you first picked it up but when you first got drugged it got absorbed into your soul, even though its powers were not activated."

At this moment, Sophia walked towards the hospital bed to listen to whatever Sachi had to say. She was curious as to what it was trying to say and it seemed to be pretty interesting~

"I don't know how this could have happened but the necklace really did get absorbed into your soul."

"When you were burned in that fire the necklace released a protective seal on your soul which is why you were now in this body and your soul intact. As for why this specific body, there wasn't enough time to find a better body and this one just happened to be the only body within the premises that had some blood in the brain."

"The 5G Necklace System needed blood to form a mini chip in the brain which would allow your soul to safely transfer and adjust into this body."

"When the servants hit her head on the wall she got a concussion that leaked blood into her brain? The 5G Necklace System used the blood to create a mini-chip inside the brain and safely transfer my soul into this body? Why me?" Luna understood the process that this new body thing happened but why her?

"Master Luna, you are the chosen one. When you picked up the necklace you were already chosen for this! As for why you were chosen or any other things I don't know the reason myself."

"All I know is that I'm like your personal secretary that's going to be guiding you as you accomplish the given Targeted Missions along with Random Missions. If you fail to complete those missions you will be given punishments ranging from Level 1-10 depending on the difficulty of the Missions itself."

"According to the data I have collected over the years, Master Luna has moved to a new body hence you need to complete these missions to ensure that nothing happens while you stay in this body. After acquiring a certain amount of points by completing missions you will automatically become one with the body and after that, the points can be used to do many things."

Sachi paused a bit to let her absorb all the information. When Sachi saw Sophia nodding her head slightly he continued.

"I'll tell you more about these as you go along but for now, all you need to know and worry about is completing those missions and acquiring this body permanently. If not then you will be sent back to that white void while another chosen soul gets sent in your place."

"It is unknown how long it will take for you to get another body though and even if you do it might not exactly be in the same world nor the same time period. You might not be as lucky next time."

Sophia grew in a sharp breath. After staying for what seemed like an eternity in that void, she will be sent back there?!

Sophia shook her head. 'nuh-uh. I need to make those scum pay for playing with my life and for Luna too!'

When Sophia cleared her thoughts she looked at Sachi with undisguised curiosity.

"Can others see you?"

"Also, why are you able to talk now?" Luna was a bit surprised by all those information but for some reason, she wanted to know more about Sachi. After coming to this body she didn't know anyone and having Sachi here was like a gift sent from heaven!

Sachi understood her concerns. "When the necklace used the seal to protect you, there was too much energy used because of the amount of damage in your body and soul so the System suffered a bit of a setback."

"Later on, when the System regained its powers and healed a bit, I could transform to my normal body as the panther, but I still couldn't talk or communicate with you. I didn't even know I could do those things at that time because I lost my memories during the damage!"

Sophia nodded along with Sachi's words in understanding.

"When your soul entered Luna's body I regained the ability to talk and my memories of the System. However, Luna was intoxicated at that time and the System didn't reboot yet so I couldn't help you or talk to you until now when your mind fully cleared."

"Since the system is already activated now I can show up even if you are intoxicated just that I won't be able to use any powers besides talking to you and being there for you because I'm still weak."

When Sachi finished talking, he remembered to tell her another thing so before Sophia could open her mouth he continued talking.

"Right now you have zero points and at Level 1 so I can only show up like this. You can't touch me like in the void because I'm just a hologram right now and other people can't see me or the panel nor the 5G Necklace."

"When you get points and level up you will be able to make the Necklace appear physically at your will in different forms like a ring or bracelet. Right now it's still attached to your soul and invisible to others."

"It's the same with me. As you earn points and level up I'll also become stronger and regain more abilities to help you AND I'll also be able to stay with you in my physical form where other people can also see me and touch me."

"Oh and you can talk to me through your mind so that others don't think your crazy talking to yourself or the air."

After finishing his long speech Sachi nodded his head slowly as if to assure himself that he said everything that needed to be said.

It reminded Sophia of an innocent little kid nodding their head in agreement to whatever they said. It was so cute!

Sophia let out a slight smile because of how cute Sachi looked at the moment and she reached out to pat Sachis' head out of habit but when she saw her hand pass through her body her smiling lips twitched.

'I can't touch Sachi?!'

[Which stupid system made her not be able to touch her cute Sachi?! Who had the guts?!]

As if reading her thoughts, Sachi stared at Sophia's now bluish-grey eyes.

"Earn points."

His words hit the nail on the head. Sophia needed to earn points which in turn meant completing missions so that Sophia can touch Sachi like in the void.

Sophia knew that already so she let out a defeated sigh and nodded her head slowly. Not long after something popped up in her head, so she looked up at Sachi again.

"Are you male or female?" She turned her head to the side after asking. It reminded one of an adorable kid asking a question with those puppy eyes.

Sachi froze for a second, his eyes twitching.

"I'm a certified male, okay?!" [Do I look like a female cat to you? Huh?!]

Though the last part was not spoken out loud Sophia could tell what it was thinking from the way it was looking at her. She let out a hearty chuckle.
