[The soul trait system has been acquired]
[Welcome Host!]
I don't know how long I was like, that just staring on the two screen trying to figure out what to make out of them
" A system?" hold up. Was I really given a system? Just like that? More so all those novels are actually true!? "This is madness" I say tiredly "first I was isekai'ed now I was giving a system" any other otaku probably will be thrilled at such thing, to me tho?
"This is read's suspicious all over it" no like seriously a system? I don't know how or why I was given one, but there has to be a reason right?
" 'sigh' fine let what ever happens happen I suppose" so what does this system do I wonder? Hmm? AH! 'Status' that was when a whole new dark blue screen appeared replacing the first two.

"cool!! Wait, where is my hp? Also Love?" curiously I taped on that word what came for me next was another shock for me (AN: one among many) as another screen appeared.
______________________________
Love: it's an acronym for the 'level of violence' it represents the ability to inflict pain on others the more Love you have the stronger you are but in doing so you distance yourself from your morals and sanity the more you have (PS: the Love cap limit depends on the person's ability to hold into his morals and self)
______________________________
As I read the description, I couldn't help but just stare, "Th-this is no mistake, this is literally Love from undertale?! Was I given an undertale system? But if so where is the Hp then?" I say completely, with a puzzled look. I think 'damn why doesn't this thing come with a manual, wait!!' 'Option?' nothing 'help?' still nothing 'menu?' at that another screen appeared.

at mention of the Help option I didn't hesitate to press it, ignoring every thing having another screen replaces it

*Help*
YouYou may be wondering what the fuck it's going on right now with a system with inspirations from an Indian game where you came from, but this is why the help option is here to summarize everything you need to know about the system and if you haven't played undertale than you better read all of this okay? So here's the short vision :
Stat: show how strong you are in numerical fashion like that of a video game character
Strength: how strong are you on average bases 5 to 10 is a citizen level and 11 to 15 is a bit above that and so on and so forth
Speed: how fast you are and your reflexes on average bases 6 to 12 is a citizen level and 12 to 17 is a bit above that and so on and so forth
mental: how strong you are mentally and how much aware of your surroundings you are alongside the ability to memorize things faster or think on higher speeds on average bases 5 to 10 is a citizen level and 10 to 15 is a bit above that and so on and so forth
(PS: high mental stat doesn't mean you are smarter or wiser, just mentally stronger)
(PPS: if the mental stat is high enough, you can resist the effects of Love to some extant)
magic: how much mana you have or how strong your magic is, on average bases 3 to 8 is a citizen level and 9 to 14 is a bit above that and so on and so forth
(PS: 1 magic in stats equals 100 mp)
inventory: it's a pocket dimension provided by the system you have 10 slots only, use them wisely
(PS: the amount of slots can increase by doing special quests)
Quests: it's an event that should happen around the host if a quest appears, the host can accept the quest for the chance of good rewards provided by the system
(PS: a quest can only be generated depending on the events taking place around the host)
Store: a place where you can buy soul traits (ST for short) but will be really weakened depending on the trait's incompatible with the user, you can also buy items, supplies, weapons, etc
Skills: is an action or an ability of sorts like soul trait, magic spell, or weapon skill, all skills have a limit of 10 to 20 before evolving to a more powerful version. Except some skills, which require some conditions to do so.
(PS: the higher the potential of the user in the skill, the higher the cap limit)
Love: it's an acronym for the 'level of violence' it represents the ability to inflict pain on others the more Love you have the stronger you are but in doing so you distance yourself from your morals and sanity the more Love you have, normally 2 or 3 in Love don't affect the mind that much, on 7 you may start releasing strong bloodlust,14? You start actively killing people left and right for the smallest things, 20 …* you don't count as human anymore =)*
(PS: Love can be only gained by actively trying to get it, so any killing made in self-defense doesn't count)
the Help menu will update the more host explore the system
Advice from the system: you better get stronger fast Host this world is not a game, neither will it be kind for the weak and death is no stranger to anyone here Even you
______________________________
as I continue to read the whole page I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine at the 'very familiar smiling face' in the Love section "ok I am definitely not getting THAT type of Love" 'not like I was planing to anyway' that was what i was thinking but… to think the system will actually advise me like that i-i should've expected that but damm …" I guess I am really in Re:Zero, huh?" even so it's still hard to fully process such things!
"'sigh' what ever hmm?" look into quests "hold on a sec" 'quests' "aha! There"

objective: Help Kadomon Risch with moving the boxes to the second floor (0/40) before the sun is down (6:00:00 left)
bonus objective: finish in 4 hours
Rewards: ??? , ???
______________________________
it was then that I realized that I still didn't move any of the boxes yet "shit?!" and so that was how I spent my next 5 hours moving boxes around while trying to not break anything by the time i was done, i was lying on the ground completely exhausted i didn't have it in me to even see the rewards
it was only after i heard steps coming towards me did i lifted my head up a bit to see mister Kadomon looking at me surprised than towards the empty storage room where the boxes previously were then he said "wow i didn't expect you to actually finish the job you didn't seem that strong" said Kadomon looking impressed, well he was right at some point i was completely exhausted if it wasn't for my inventory i would have quit hours ago as limited as it was "y-yeah i get that" he doesn't look that muscled either
"so here,here, take this for the trouble" then he gave me a small bag of apples (now appas apparently) and what he can tell is a small pouch of about 20 copper coins "huh? "I said, looking at him confused.
"What? Did you think i was letting you do work for free?" said clearly amused "Nah kid you deserve it" with that i accepted the money and food god knows i am going to need it "thank you" with that the appa seller give a nod before saying "so what are your questions?" it was than that i remembered why i did this in the first place "oh okay then i actually have a few…"

time skip: 2 days later
"oy kid!! a new delivery had came go put them in the supplies room."said Kadomon "hay! kadomon-san" so yeah apparently the events of the arc 1 have already happened before i have even appeared and from what kandomon-san have told me a group of knights has gone to the slums to go and capture Elsa granhiert the bowel hunters 2 weeks ago but could escape with most of knights lives if not for the presence of Reinhard Van Astrea the current sword saint, but thankfully the inhabitants of the lute house have made it out alive, in prison but alive, as for Emilia? Probably still in the Roswall mansion, which made me think 'what happened to Subaru?' from what i was told by Kadomon-san he's around somewhere, which is kind of worrying since he should be with Emilia.
"Okay this is really bad" i say holding up the boxes "if he's not with her than where is he i wonder" 'oh well it's not it's my fault anyway but still' i thought looking at the surrounding area 'something is clearly not right, and it's worrying' it was than that a now familiar screen appeared in front of me
[By continues work and pressure on the body, your strength increased by 0.5]
"sigh" with a satisfied sigh i put the boxes down it was the first night here when i was looking through my stats when i first realized i could increase my stats with work or training it' why i choose to work under kadomon-san a normal and simple job until i think of something else 'but damn where those two days worth it'

2 in strength and 1 in speed. That's what I got in just 2 days of work. I kept lifting the boxes up back and forth. That was for the strength, for speed tho…
"Hey Alex-nee" "yo plum how are ya?" i greeted the green-haired five-year-old girl this one have a sense of direction that almost rival Zoro's from one piece probably because she's still a kid, yesterday i had to spend an hour running around finding her but hey at least i got a bit familiar with the place so it was fine by me
"so do you need something? " "yeah dad told me to call you to help him with something" that made me rise an eyebrow in curiosity but shrugged "yeah sure he's my boss after all" and i decided to follow the little girl as we go through the house while i was still my skills.

*Skills*
false Determination Lv 0: the weakest version of the determination trait because of the lack of actual determination that is beyond the normal amount to keep the soul from shattering, this version allows the user to recall the previous timelines in the occurrence of an abnormally but don't give access to the save and load ability.
language comprehension Lv Max: allow to understand and write all languages that native to the inhabitants of the world as If it is your own.
Check Lv 3: allow to analyze the description and capabilities of Items, weapons and people depending on the level.
Soul trait of ??? Lv Max: It allows the user to ???
_______
honestly my favorite skill is obviously 'language comprehension' because without it I wouldn't have been able to speak at all which would've made the whole thing a lot worse, and the 'Check' Skill is an 'Observe' skill so that's another bonus still i don't know what to make of the other two.
' oh well, that's something to figure out later.' that's what i have been going through my mind as i make my way to the front of the stale completely unaware of the shit show i will get myself into ...

Later That Night
We could see the shadow of a short girl and an old giant escaping from the prison on the other side of the capital, leaving behind a bunch of either knocked out or injured knights that completely underestimated the duo, who had already made it away before anyone competent arrived, well this is going to be interesting.
