Chapter 2 - Really?

Well, what do you know?

Jaime went from being in extreme pain, to now a sense of rejuvenation.

It felt great, but it was a very strange feeling, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

Jaime's body felt soft and somewhat weak. His body overall lacked strength.

But, after getting his bearings, he finds that his hands are way too small to be his own.

This is because he found himself in the body of a 6-year-old boy.

"What the hell is going on?" Jaime asks.

(You are in the body of a 6-year-old boy, named Leo)

"Leo? No, wait, who the hell just said that" Jaime said as he looked around.

(Me)

Jaime (Leo?) looks around but doesn't see anything.

(No, you can't see me, I'm a system that was assigned to you from the Federal System of Systems. I've been assigned to you for a mistake caused by another system user in your original world.)

"System? What the fuck? Like the systems in fan-fics I read about? What?"

(Yes, exactly, I'm glad the user is quick to catch on. You have been rewarded for another system's transgression. You've been rewarded with one of the best systems a user could ask for. Me. :D)

"..."

(:D)

"...So, what you are trying to say is that I'm dead. What about my family?"

(Ah, yes, I'm very sorry Mr. user, but the past you is now dead. There is nothing the system can do about that. The only reward the Federal System of Systems can give you is a new chance, in a new world. Although this world is very similar to your old world, it is not the same. We can't put you back in your old world, so you won't be able to see your parents. I'm sorry user.)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Jaime took many days to accept this new reality.

Although he was very sad, the system (annoyingly) kept him company.

Jaime also took solace in the fact that he had 2 younger siblings that could keep his parents' company after his death. For the first time, he was very grateful for being the oldest of 3 children.

"At least my siblings can ease their sorrow."

(Yes, they have been very helpful in easing each other's grief.)

"Wait, can you see them? Can you tell me what they are doing? Please, I want to know."

(Yes, I could, if that is what the user wishes)

"...No, maybe not. It's probably better that you don't. I don't want to make myself sadder by missing them. It's best to just forget, I think."

(...)

"*Sigh*, this really sucks"

(Well, don't worry Mr. user, I'm here to ensure that your new life, goes swimmingly!)

"Leo, come here! Dinner's ready! Get your brother's"

Leo looks up and sees Helen screaming from the opening of the orphanage.

"I guess Helen is really nice at least"

(Yes, of course, user, do you think that I, the-best-system-in-the-universe, wouldn't bless you with a great living environment)

Leo imagines a very smug-looking system in his head.

"Well, for an orphanage, I guess, it's okay"
