[user falling asleep]
[logging off... ]
[welcome... ]
man that was a good night sleep, shame there was not a pillow to hug at.
I wake up inside of the machine, I get out of the bed and head inside to my apartment, the sight of an empty filled road when I go to the bedroom is a testament of how effective the government enforcement are.
I decided to check on the fridge and found some drink cocoa packet, I take one of them and teared at the edge of the packet, a dark and wonderful aroma wafted throughout the apartment as a hot cocoa is in my hand looking out to the window in my bedroom.
I took a sip as I saw some military people dressed in black with weapon strapped on their shoulder patrolling the road, a person with a blade in their shoulder looked around seemingly the leader of the whole squad, he stops and pointed at a window, the group nods their heads, they got their grappling hook in order and climbed the building, all the while I sipped on some hot cocoa, wondering why I haven't bought a marshmallow for this perfect occasion.
while the group of elite squad rushes through the building with their grappling hook, I sneakily brought out my phone and started recording from the border of the window, then chaos ensues as one of the people from the squad crushes through the window, he crouched and signalled his hand to the teammates around the window, one by one the group started to go in, the swordsman however are currently watching from beside the window, which he followed inside as scream and gunshot ensues inside.
I can't make out a word from the shouting, screaming, and swearing that happened inside of the apartment, then a sound outlying anything I heard is reaching into my ear, a low growl enough to send chills down my spine as an inhumane scream emanate from the apartment.
"what th-" I said before a loud sound is heard inside, then quiet.
"nope."
I stopped recording immediately as a giant spider monster with hairy legs came into view of my camera, I quickly pull down the shutter of my window blocking my view of it and it from me.
then loud scream ensues from the neighborhood as several people who has absolutely been watching all of this screamed, waking the whole neighborhood up.
thankfully I don't have arachnophobia or else I might've pee'd myself then and there, I prevent myself from panicking as my mind immediately thought to stay quiet as the beast probably target whoever is the most loudest, I reassure myself with that thought as several dying scream is heard throughout the neighborhood.
I checked the time and it was currently 10 PM or so, of course I don't dare sleeping as I quickly hide in the closet, the only thing that can be heard is the scream and the loud siren of the police, somehow I slept halfway throughout all of that.
"there's somebody alive in here!! " a shout immediately woke me up as a person with a fully armored body trying to unlock the closet door.
"how? I swear the monster came in here and wrecked the whole place up? " another person said, only then I realize that the whole wardrobe is laying on the side.
"what's going on? " I said in a weary voice as the person outside opened the wardrobe with me barely getting my life into my body.
one hour later...
after a brief questioning and freak out, I was able to get rid of any cops and detective snooping around my house and all of it only took my soul, my day, and the video recording of what happened.
of course they destroyed my phone and told me that in a day, a new phone will be sent with all of the data of the previous phone minus the recording of the event, also they are compensating for a complete renovation of my apartment, as long as I don't talk to anyone about the incident that is.
apparently everything except for the chocolate packet and the whole 10 kg meat disappear, the whole house though? is a complete mess, except the guest room and the capsule room, they say for some reason they are unable to find any traces of the monster inside.
the tv is also destroyed, just a little bonus though the government will be providing me with food and money, to my surprise the government are taking it so well these past few days, with the hallucinations and everything it has to be horrendous to manage everything, so I give them credit where credits is due.
so with nothing else to do but to play the hit game (get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head).
anyway I logged inside of the game, as I wake up in a bed... inside of a game.
around me are room donned in white that looks holy? it looks like a religious place or something, I wake up as I see a mirror beside my bed.
in the mirror donned a young woman in a white blank dresses with six wings on her back and a halo above her head, there are also a void colored eyes looking deep into my own soul, on her forehead lay a majestic horn pointing upward in an angle that makes it impossible to ignore.
my first reaction to this woman is to bow my head immediately until I realized that it was a mirror.
[wow, what a narcissist]
are you insulting me?
[no, and here's some money]
[+5 gold coin]
oh cool, money. who are you?
[should h- I'm your personal assistant system]
the natural snarky sounding voice is immediately replaced by an automated voice, as the jarring display left me lost for words.
after a few minutes of silence and awkwardness, the system decided to break the ice with a quest.
[getting acquainted]
[you're on a continent of unknown origin, you don't know who you are, where you are, or why you are here, the only thing you know is an otherworldly knowledge and a refuge. ]
[it's time to get acquainted. ]
at least I have a home to sleep in instead being on the wild, so that's good.
anyway, I'm somehow not surprise of changing gender, maybe it's because I've been treated as a woman all these years? I look like one, shaped like one with the exception of something underneath, and sound like one (if I try hard enough).
maybe the last part wasn't exclusive to me but you get the point, and I'm flat too... think of the positive manny! if you fight those bouncing balls of meat and fat aren't going to exactly help a lot.
[...]
anyway I'm going off track, I get out of the small room I was in, after opening the door a sight of the wilderness and nature came before me, the gentle swaying of the trees, the breeze of the sea, and the wind of the mountains all hit me at once leaving me breathless in the face of nature.
dang, that's cool is what I first thought of the absolutely breathtaking scenery before me, my mind trying to describe the indescribable by saying some casual thing to make sense of the world.
the immersion was unfortunately broken as a person with only a short, rolled stiffly in a circle trying to avoid a slime attacks.
until I realized that this was a newbie area with people talking and acting stiffly making me uncomfortable, they're like a player in a video games, they act stiffly like a machine each muscle completely coordinated and even their voice sound robotics to a certain degree.
"hey.pre.tty.how.are.ya." a man said in a stiff voice, I turn my back to look at him, the man standing with a T pose, face slightly off and eyes cross eyed, a deep sense of disgust, fear and bewilderment filled me.
"the fuck? " I sweared trying to make sense of the scene before me, the man was huge with muscle and stuff, making him look very manly, although his face was clearly off making the whole look slightly revolting to the eyes.
"sigh.just.ano.ther.n.p.c." he said, my man you're the one who looked like an npc.
"why is that guy looking one of those bugged npc? " I said trying to ask the system about it.
[the person in question acted like the 'bugged npc' is because of childhood tr-]
English please?
[the system language are strict, do you wish to remove the language protocol? ]
yes, whatever helps you paint a better picture in my mind.
[enable protocol picture? ]
no- yes, just do some I don't know? casual protocol?
[casual protocol enabled, the system now can speak freely, keep in mind you can disable this anytimEE WHOOOO! finally! god I hate speaking in cursive]
whatever that machine monstrosity are, this in return are way better.
[thanks for the casual act you know, it's been a tough ten minutes of my life as far as I know it, anyway let's see... yes why are that guy acting like a stiff npc? ]
I don't know, beats me how people sometimes acted like a hive mind.
[well my current working theory is because of the assistance involvement in [move assist] we assistant can help you move better by manipulating strands of your muscle to helps you move more naturally, of course this cannot help you move better if you can't do it alone at all. ]
oh, that's way better, feels like a podcast I used to listen to back at work.
[really? what podcast? I mean, what even is a podcast anyway? ]
a podcast is where a bunch of people got together and talked about stuff, the explanation is a bit scuffed but it's the best that I can do, also aren't I the one supposed to ask instead of you?
[sorry, got a bit carried away there, anyway since we are born pretty early after our user arrived, we are extremely umm...*lips smack* indecisive about our personality and self interest, so if you noticed a bit of personality change that's because we're still like a newborn baby deciding which toy is better. ]
that's interesting, then how are you like super smart?
[maybe because of the program?? I don't know, but maybe if you upgrade me I will. ]
I can upgrade you?
[no, you can't but you can upgrade the system which in turn includes me! I'm technically part and not part of the system, it's kind of wonky but it works. ]
i need a full explanation later... later, first I need a general knowledge on what you can and can't do.
[it's very long and complicated, but I'll list the important important important one. ]
[move assist, casual protocol (self made), detachment protocol, attachment protocol, protection protocol, dark mode, silent protocol, body takeover, self destruct, suicide, aim assist, education module, helper module, and... that's it? wow, I never guessed that the system liked the user so much. ]
and most of it are for comfort? the important, important bits?
[hey, beats me how this works. ]
================
I'm basing off the assistant from a character, I listened somewhere.
