I lay weak on the ground, blood coming from my nose and mouth.
I just got beaten up by 2 gangsters apparently ordered by someone who hates me. And, my head was hit by a baseball bat until I felt excruciating pain.
After they had their fill of torturing me, the two men left me.
'Am I going to die now?' I thought.
That's probably a good thing. My life has been miserable for a long time, and this is probably the climax.
I'm tired of living like this, as if I'm always overshadowed by misfortune.
I also don't have anyone anymore. My parents already passed away.
And, if at this moment I died, I would not have to suffer any more misfortune.
Slowly, my consciousness is fading away. I heard a voice in my head but, before I could find out whose voice it was, my consciousness had disappeared.
----
I opened my eyes, and I saw that the sky was dark. It was a view of the night sky.
"Eh? I'm not dead yet?"
I was shocked, because I thought before that I would die.
'Sigh.. If I'm not dead, then I have to live my miserable life. ' I thought.
[Looks like you've woken up, Master. ]
"Uwaaaaa."
I quickly stood up and looked around. However, I found no one. It's a small, dark alley that few people walk through, so if someone is here, I can see them clearly.
'What happened? I just heard someone talking, but there's no one here. Did I hear wrong? '
[You won't hear wrong, Master]
Again, I listened to the voice of someone talking to me. It was a woman's voice.
However, I didn't find anyone around me.
'And, what is this Master's nickname. Is she talking to me? but, where is she? '
[Yes, I am talking to you, Master. And, you will not be able to find me, because I speak directly to your head. ]
Hah?
I was so surprised, because this woman spoke directly in my head. But who is she? why would she do something like that?
"Who are you? Why can you speak directly in my head? What is your motive?" I asked.
[Ding! Welcome to the Misfortune System, Master.
This system is a special system for those of you who have lived a life full of misfortunes throughout their lives.
This system will help you to live a better life.]
'Whattttttt? A system? The system that I always read from the novels? Is it such a system?'
I was very surprised and happy to hear that. Because, in these novels, the main character's life will change drastically. They will become very powerful and rich. Also, they also got a beautiful girlfriend or wife.
The systems in the novel are extraordinary. The system makes the main character invincible.
Knowing I have a system, I feel very happy.
Finally after living full of misfortune all this time, I got a gift.
[Ahem... I'm sorry to bother you, Master. ]
While I was celebrating, the system spoke to me.
'Is it time to give me power? Or wealth? I can't wait for it.'
[I have read all of your memories, including your memories of those novels, where the main character has a system.]
"You can read my memories all you want, System. So, are you going to give me power now? Or wealth?"
After I asked, the system did not answer my question. And, things got quiet.
I was still in a very happy mood, even my heartbeat was beating fast. I'm nervous, because, maybe the system is considering what's best for me.
I will accept what the system chooses for me, whether it be power or wealth.
[I feel very sorry to tell you about this, Master. However, this system is not the same as the system you read about from those novels.]
*Brukkk
I immediately sat on the ground holding my chest.
The words I heard just now shocked me greatly, and made my heart stop beating for a split second.
"N-no way..."
My hope was immediately dropped to the ground very hard.
[Um, Master... ]
"No way... why? Even when I have the system, the system is also useless."
I bemoan my fate. It seems that my misfortune still continues.
The OP system I yearn for doesn't exist.
The truly extraordinary systems of the novels I'm reading now are just an illusion.
"This is so cruel. Can't I just hope for a little while?"
[Master, you haven't even listened to my explanation.]
My hopes immediately revived after listening to what the system said.
'Right, I haven't even listened to the explanation of this system. Maybe this system is far more extraordinary than the systems I read in novels. '
"Jeez, you should have said that fast, system. You almost gave me a heart attack just now."
[Sigh..]
'W-what? The system can sigh like that?'
[Alright Master, I'll explain about this system.]
I nodded my head.
[As I said before, this system is not like the systems you've read about in novels.
However, this System will guide you to make your life better.
For the rest, you will find out in the future. ]
"..."
I don't know how to react now. I also don't know what to say after hearing that 'very useful' explanation.
[Master, are you-]
"WHAT KIND OF SYSTEM ARE YOU?!!!"
