".... huh?"
" Your mission is to help the locals of this world skip the current era they are in and move onto a more advanced era, there by improving their quality of life"
"Currently the people of this world live very poor lives"
"They still live in caves. With no proper protection from the elements, the death toll during winter is high"
"They fish and hunt with stone tools, and their only cooking methods is roasting.
Their diet consists of meat, fruits, and the occasional potato."
"Meaning that they are malnourished."
"This makes it harder for them to conceive, so although they have strong bodies and are good hunters, their numbers are dwindling."
358 kept prattling in it's mechanical voice,
"... wai- "
"As I mentioned earlier, the death toll during winter is high."
"Without a good method to store food, and scarce prey during the long winter months, they are threatened by starvation, freezing to death, the flu, and attacks by hungry predators"
"They also face attacks by neighboring tribes in search of food"
".. sto-"
"They have to guard against the elements, beasts, and each other"
"By leading them towards a more advanced era, you would be saving the life of everyone on this planet."
"You would be a hero who saved the worl-"
"STOP!"
"You damn thing! Going on and on without letting me get a word in!"
"358 right? Era Skip system? ... whew!"
"I have many questions to ask. But let's start with this one, where am I?"
"Host is currently on world number 762949. The locals call the planet Threa. It means peace in their language, as they hope for the planet to be peaceful"
"I guess that means it's not."
"Host is correct. Threa is not peaceful. The planet is ruled by savage beasts, and the climate is harsh. Over the years, the people have more or less adapted to the climate, but the beasts are still a problem."
"And you brought me, from a peaceful and civilized world, and mild climate, here?"
"Correct host."
"Why?"
"As stated earlier, you meet all of our requirements. Extensive and indepth knowledge, mental fortitude, physical strength, and compassion"
"What happened to me in my original world?"
"..did I... Did I die? Maybe die in my sleep?"
" And what about my family?"
"No host, you did not die, and your family is fine"
"Did I do something to trigger your system? Although I don't remember reading or watching any manga, novel or anime before I slept..."
"Or is it all my wishing when I was younger that made you consider me?"
"No host, we selected a group of people as candidates, and after review, chose the best one which was you, Ainara Lovern"
".... whew..."
"So let me get this straight. You chose a random bunch of people, eliminated the rest that didn't meet your criteria, and ended up with me?"
"And you didn't choose this group of people based on the VERY important factor of whether they wanted to be transmigrated, or had miserable lives?"
"Again, that is correct host"
"... send me home"
"What?"
"I said, send me back home! Right now!"
".... huh?"
Now it was the systems turn to be dumfounded.
"I was still alive and healthy, I had a happy life, I was planning to get married, and you just yank me away from all that!"
"Did you ever consider how difficult it would be for me to live here?"
"Let's start with the most basic, food"
"I normally have a balanced diet, with carbohydrates, protein, fruits, vegetables, grains and cereals"
"Now I'll have to cut it down to protein, fruits and the rare carbohydrate. Do you know what a shock that would be to my system?"
"Even if I manage to adjust quickly, how am I to feed myself?"
"Apart from the potato, how am I to identify what fruits are edible? And how am I supposed to hunt??"
"Yes I'm strong, but that's compared to the humans on earth! I doubt that I can beat the people of this world, not to mention their animals!!"
"Even if by some incredible stroke of luck I managed to beat the beast, how do I kill it? I have no tools. Oh and, I've never killed before!!"
"Now health care, you mentioned that people die from the flu here. So the smallest illness is enough to kill me, I could die from a stomachache. I guess that hygiene here is very poor, so the possibility of that is actually high"
"Then the harsh climate!! How am I to cope with that?? The people here have had many years to adapt, but what about me?!"
"I know that you've done something which is why I've been okay so far, but how long will it last?"
"You're probably blocking the beasts as well, which is why it's been so quiet, but what about tomorrow?"
"Then the most important thing! Am I going to be stuck here forever?"
"What about my family? My fiance?"
"My friends, my work, my life!"
"While I am compassionate, and the people of this world are pitiful, I am not a martyr."
"I can't sacrifice myself for the sake of people I don't know"
"While your worries are valid, they are needless. As a conscientious system, we will not bring you to a new world just to have you die so easily."
"Changes have been made to the hosts body to help you survive in this world, and complete your task with less difficulty."
"You messed with my body?!"
"It was a necessary measure"
"So first you bring me here without my permission, and now you have altered my body without my permission. What else have you done?"
"We have wiped your existence from earth. As you never existed there, no one will miss you, so you do not need to worry"
.... My mind filled with white noise
'Wiped my existence?'
'I was never born in that world?"
'All my experiences, achievements, relationships?'
'Mother, Father, Baris, Dillan... they never knew me...'
"no..."
"NO!"
"That can't be true! It can't be!"
"You have to take me back right now! TAKE ME BACK!"
"CHANGE EVERYTHING BACK!"
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"
I was hysterical. I jumped up, frantically looking around for the system.
"We can, and we did, host."
"The system is not a physical entity, host is advised to stop searching"
THUD
I dropped to the floor with my head in my hands, and started wailing.
I don't know how long I cried for, but I eventually stopped.
My voice hoarse from crying, I said,
"You still haven't told me if I can go back"
".... If the level of task completion is more than 95%, host can make a request of the mother system"
"So the mother system is the boss? The one that brought me here?"
"Yes host. It is only the mother system that has the power to send you back."
"All other systems came from the mother system"
"Host, it is extremely difficult to higher than 70% of task completion"
"Getting 95% is basically impossible"
"Host is advised to give up"
With my gaze firm, I wiped my face and got back up,
"I will go back"
"Tell me about Threa. Leave nothing out"
