'It hurts. My body feels like burning.'
I was walking home when suddenly a truck hit me. I was flown 10 meters away and crashed into a shop. The people inside the shop begin to panic when seeing my condition.
"Oh my god! Quickly call an ambulance!"
A girl shout to the remaining people that just standing there and watching me because they were too shocked to do anything.
Hearing the girl's shout, one of the people wake up from his shock and quickly open his phone to make a call.
Well I appreciate your kindness but, I think I'm gonna die before the ambulance arrived.
I chuckled inward at my negative thinking.
I feel like my eyelids are becoming weaker and weaker with each second passing.
'Is this how I'm gonna die? I didn't accomplished anything in this life because I had no talent for anything beside in computer field. If there's another chance... I want to be able to do anything.'
That was my last thought before losing my consciousness.
•••
When I thought that I lose all my consciousness, A robotic-voice sounded in my head.
「Because of the your strong desire, the universe has granted your wish.」
「The Super Growth system has been created for you.」
[Warning! The host doesn't have a body for the binding! Proceed with the emergency protocol!]
•••
[Wake up sleepyhead]
A smooth woman voice sounded in my head. I tried to open my eyes and was greeted by a dazzling light of the sun. My eyes hurt a bit so I close it again for a few seconds, before opening it again.
What greeted me was the scene of the beautiful forest that was surrounding me, and a lake in front of me.
I was feeling thirsty so I approach the lake. I was shocked because the reflection on the water surface was not my face. But I was mesmerized for a second because of its beautifulness.
Then I suddenly remember the voice that talk to me. I tried to call it. "Hello? Miss?"
Then the voice sounded again, [Yes, you're finally awake host.]
I was startled because the voice was coming from none other that inside my head. I tried to ask again. "So... Who are you? Or more precisely what are you?"
[It seems that your low IQ can't deduce what I am so, because I don't have a choice I'm going to explain it so listen carefully.]
A vein popped in my forehead but I remain silent because of the upcoming explanation.
[The great me! Was created by the universe because of your strong desire at your death time. I..am the almighty Super Growth System. I can make you stronger by scanning your every move or actions, and make it into some sort of skill that can be enhanced the more you use it. Of course because I'm so awesome, you can get stronger by killing monster or taking quest and get EXP from it too.]
I was a little annoyed by her tone of voice while talking. but by her explanation, I have to agree that this system is kinda awesome.

Another vein popped up on my forehead when I read the evaluation of the system about me. 'Did I do something wrong in my past life to be tangled with this stupid system?'
[HAA!! WHO'RE YOU CALLING STUPID, YOU STUPID HOST!]
"WHAT'D YOU SAY YOU STUPID NARCISSISTIC SYSTEM!"
[HAA!??]
"HAA!??"
.
..
...
....
"*Pant**Pant* I'm stopping not because I was tired, but it was because I don't want my new life to start with a lot of bickering *Pant*."
[Hm hm, just because of talking for a few minutes you're already tired. As expected of my stupid host.]
My throat was dry so I ignore her insult and proceed to drink water from the lake. Surprisingly, the water was sweet. After drinking, I walked to the nearby tree and sit below it.
"Hey, what world is this?"
Hearing my sudden question, the system stops her boasting and answered.
[*Cough* This world is an alternate universe of your previous world with the difference of the existence of the tower that you were currently inside, and climbers that climb the tower to get reward such as skill, item, and else.]
When I was currently tried to digest the information a screen popped in front of me.
「The constellation 'Father of Humanity' is interested in you.」
'Huh?'
「The constellation 'Father of Humanity' has sponsored you with 500 coins.」
「The constellation 'Father of Humanity' is looking forward to see your future adventure.」
「The constellation 'Mother of Humanity' has come to watch you with the recommendation of 'Father of Humanity'.」
No wonder I feel like someone was watching me. 'System what is this?'
[They're the constellation. They are an existence that was given privilege by the universe to interact with the climbers and giving them a part of their power in the form of 'Stigma'. In short, the constellation are the being that watched the climbers to feel entertain. No matter if it was their happiness, sorrow, or even their despair.]
I wipe the sweat on my forehead unconsciously. 'Now that, is a little scary'
[Hah! Did you forget that you have me? With my help, you can get as strong as them. Hell, you can even get stronger than them.]
Oh yeah, I forgot about this thing.
[Who'd you call a thing!!?]
I chuckled softly before changing my expression to blank, "Nothing".
"Okay, enough joking. Are there any place where people live inside this tower?"
If there's a place like a town or something, then It's gonna be easier to gather information.
[Humph!]
Ah, did she sulking because I called her a 'thing'?
"*Sigh~* Okay, I'm sorry for calling you a thing." I tried my best not to laugh and made a gentle expression.
[If you call me The almighty cute beautiful Super Growth System then I'll forgive you.]
I can't hold it any longer and laughed. "Pfft..Hahaha I can't believe how much of a narcissist you are!"
I laughed for a few minutes then stopped. I make a serious expression and asked nicely. "Okay, I'm serious. Can you please tell me?"
[Humph! it's only because you said please. You're currently On floor one of the tower where new and old climbers are gathering. There is a city 2 km to the west side from you. You can gather information there.]
I smiled gently and said with a gentle tone. "Thank you"
[H-humph!]
I chuckled at her kinda cute behavior, when suddenly interrupted by a screen popped up in front of me.
「The constellation 'Father of Humanity' is confused by your action.」
「The constellation 'Mother of Humanity' is confused by your action.」
I forgot that they exist.
I change to my blank expression and start walking to the direction where the city is.
