System 999, [!!!]
[I learned that the mission targets your Host had been assigned to are connected to each other... To be precise, all those mission targets are one and the same person.]
[W—what? The same person? But how could this be?]
[All I know is those mission targets had each part of one person's soul.]
[Who is this person?]
[A person named Leal.]
[ !!!!!! Σ(°□°) ] System 999 had even more exclamation marks from the shocking news.
System 999 eyed System 125 a suspicious look.
[Hey now! I told you, this is a gift! No need to give me a death glare!]
System 999 squinted even harder, [How did a human manage to do that?]
System 125 asked, [A human? Oh yes... a human. Unfortunately, I can't give you any more details than this.]
[What? Why?] System 999 asked disappointedly.
System 125 only revealed a smile, not answering System 999's questions.
[I have to go now 999.]
[Do you have to go to your assigned Host now?]
[Hmm... You could say that.]
[I see... Take care then! Don't let the ugly attitude of that Host affect you! (≧∇≦)/] System 999 cheered.
System 125 laughed, [Alright alright, You too be careful and... look after your Host properly this time okay?]
'Huh? This time?' Before System 999 could even ponder on that specific line that System 125 uttered, System 125 patted System 999's head before waving goodbye.
System 999 was left there with its head tilted and more questions in its system head.
'Oh right! I need to get to the request center! Hurry hurry!' Therefore, System 999 clumsily darted to the main system request center.
...
Upon arriving at the request center, System 999 had to pick a number and wait to be called to the reception desk before it could submit its request.
Sitting in the lobby without any companions, System 999 had no other system to talk to, hence when it heard the other system's voices near it, System 999 could not help but listen in.
System one said, [You heard? There is another system that managed to break from the main system control?]
System two reacted, [What? Another one? Maybe there really a hidden benefit of being a high-level system since all of these cases are done by them.]
System one replied, [Perhaps, there are even more irregular systems popping out lately.]
System two, [I also heard about that. But what is the main system doing? Before, it would immediately terminate these irregular systems.]
System one, [I also don't know. The main system is still performing just the same as before. Except for that one odd bug that got reported to the main system.]
System 999's ears twitched.
System two, [Oh that! I heard the bug appeared when the Host was already about to finish its mission. It really was odd, there wasn't any single bug that appeared in the main system for millions of years already.]
System 999 thought, 'Are they talking about my Host?'
System one, [Sigh. Let's just find a Host and work our way to the top, maybe we could get promoted one day and become at least a mid-level system.]
Ding! [Number 49.]
'Oh it's my turn already.' System 999 got up from its seat in the lobby and walked to the reception desk, holding a file that detailed Keira's world and mission, and the male leads basic details in each world.
[Hello, what is your request for the main system.] An electronic voice sounded.
System 999 passed the file and inquired, [I would like to have a deeper background data of these mission targets and if any of them relates to a person called 'Leal' on the world that contained the planet name 'Earth'.]
Although there are plenty of Hosts as there are just as bountiful of systems that work under the main system, It is extremely rare for two Hosts to meet in the same world or for two Hosts to belong to the same world as the main system would assign the different Hosts to different worlds, and also grab them from different worlds.
[Please wait as I process this request to the main system...]
System 999 was hoping that the main system would allow it access though it was not feeling very optimistic about it.
[Permission granted. The data will be sent out to you in a few minutes after the main system finishes compiling all the data you asked for. Have a successful mission day!]
The system could not actually believe the main system would just give the data just like that. The system thought it would have to go to the shady parts of the system hub in order to retrieve the information.
Exiting the request center, the data arrived in System 999's internal data shortly after. Examining the data, System 999 was even more baffled.
'It turns out everything that System 125 stated was true!'
The data provided by the main system showed that the soul in each Host of the mission target is one and the same and all ties down to 'Leal'. Though it did not state if it was a piece of the soul or one as a whole, unlike what System 125 acclaimed that the mission targets 'had each part of one person's soul'.
Besides the information on the mission target, the data also included some background of Leal.
[Leal ☐☐☐☐
Assigned System: None
Original World: ☐☐☐☐
Host Ranking: No Ranking
Missions completed: ☐☐☐☐
Soul Status: Extremely Unstable(brink of collapse)
Additional Information: Soul is unstable due to being scattered for too long and from 'strong external influence'. Suggest to quickly gather the soul before collapse happens.]
System 999 remained outside the request center immensely baffled, like it had DC'd on the spot. All it could display on its face was the Σ(°□°) expression.
The system turned its heel and went back to the request center for more information.
...
[I'm sorry, but the data you requested could not be provided for you for either: the data does not exist or you do not have access to the data.] A monotone voice sounded in front of the reception desk.
System 999 reflected, 'Then is Leal not a Host? But how does the main system have the soul status of Leal?'
[Then does the data exist or not?] System 999 asked.
[I'm sorry, but you do not have access to that information.]
[The data I requested is only asking if there is a Host who has the name Leal and is currently residing on Earth!] System 999 exclaimed.
[I'm sorry. You simply do not have access.] The AI voice repeated.
[Furthermore, details about other Hosts are mostly confidential and can only be accessed by high-level Hosts and systems.]
[Then why did I receive partial information about this one Host but could not verify it!]
[If you have any complaints, please go to the complaint center and your complaints will be processed there.] The robotic voice sounded mocking to System 999's ears even though the system in the reception didn't contain any emotions.
System 999 huffed in anger before storming out of the request center.
'Still... I managed to learn some valuable information and I didn't have to have my life at stake, so it's not a loss at all!' System 999 affirmatively cogitated.
'I should bring this information back to my Host as soon as possible! Maybe Host would be happy about the information I brought and wouldn't be so mean to me by then!'
System 999 hurried to follow its Host while silently feeling giddy at the thought of its Host praising the system.
