He felt numb. It was like he was floating. He didn't feel cold, but he didn't feel hot either. It was strange. His senses felt like they were dulled, but it felt like they weren't. 'If this is what heaven feels like, I would rather be in hell than feel this weird' He thought. He didn't know how long it was, maybe a few minutes? Hours? Days? Weeks? Months? Years? He didn't know.
He opened his eyes and was met with nothing but a dark void. It felt like he hadn't opened his eyes because he was met with the same outcome. Nothingness.
He felt nervous and confused. Where was he? Isn't he supposed to be dead? But, then how was he here? So many questions whirled around in his head and he had no way to answer them.
A bright light flickers to the right of him. He squints his eyes at the change of brightness. "What is that?" He muttered in confusion. Nothing had changed since he was brought here, but now it has.
"It seems you have finally awoken"
A mechanical voice is heard everywhere around him. Everything felt weird and confusing.
"Let us talk in a different setting"
It spoke again and the bright light expanded and engulfed everything. Alexander closed his eyes. He felt his senses become one with him again, as he could feel, hear, touch, and taste. he felt overwhelmed for a second before he got his composure under his control.
He opens his eyes and is met with a white room. It was so white that it made him uncomfortable. He looked around and all he was met with was just the color white.
"Hello Alexander Levine"
He heard the same mechanical voice as before, but it sounded more pinpointed behind him. So he turned around and was met with a round mechanical ball with a glowing ring surrounding it. Alexander stared at it in awe and jolted when the thing started speaking again,
"I am System #00365, nice to meet you, Alexander Levine"
Alex stared at the system with surprise before stuttering out his response,
"O-Oh, sorry, Nice to meet you, System #00365?"
Everything felt weird and confusing, especially having a talking mechanical ball in front of you. He could barely wrap his head around it.
"I know you have questions, so please ask away"
Alex flinched a little, he didn't expect this, but he should have considering that anyone that has been brought into this position would also want to ask questions. Alex nervously asks his questions.
"W-Well, what am I doing here exactly?"
"You are here to become my host and destroy world plots in any way possible"
It monotonously answered.
"What does that mean?"
"It means you have been chosen out of many others to become a world plot destroyer. You will be tasked to go into many different worlds and destroy the plots that weren't originally supposed to happen"
That made Alexander even more confused. He was chosen among many others to become a destroyer of plots because many worlds have plots that weren't meant to happen. Alex felt his head hurt by the information he was getting. It was confusing. Very and painfully, confusing.
"Sorry, can you further explain this to me?"
"*Sigh* It means that you have to travel from world to world and destroy the world plot. For example: If you were to go to a world that has one of the MCs plotting to destroy that world and it wasn't originally supposed to happen, then you are tasked to go to that world and stop the MC from destroying the world, thus destroying the plot."
'Oh~' Now Alexander understood better. A destroyer's job is to destroy plots that weren't supposed to happen, like stopping the MC from getting together with the other MC because originally the latter was supposed to get together with a princess, and since that didn't happen and the plot changed, the destroyers were tasked to destroy that new plot and, make a new one?
"So basically, all we have to do is destroy the new plot while also making a new one...right?"
The system went silent, probably thinking over his question, until they answered.
"In short, yes"
"Okay, so, the destroyers have to go through, world to world, destroying plots that weren't supposed to happen, correct?"
"Yes"
"Is the world gonna feel different?"
"No, the world's will every bit of real that you felt in your home world"
"I see, so that includes interacting and feeling everything, right?"
"Yes, but I suggest that you treat all the worlds that you will be going to, as real life, because you will feel every bit of pain and heartbreak, whether it is real or not"
Alex frowned a bit.
"Why do I even need to become a destroyer in the first place?"
"It's because some people are too lazy to do their jobs"
Alexander blankly stares at the system, before saying his final answer.
"Yeah, so, I am gonna have to decline to do this job"
The system was caught off guard as they were sure that he was gonna accept it because there would be women, money, powers, and all different kinds of things in those worlds that any human would want. But this one was refusing!? Why?
"U-Uh, Host, please reconsider, you can have anything that you want! Money! Women! Men even! Anything!"
The system felt triumphant as they saw Alex go into thought, but that was short-lived as he continued to decline.
"Yeah, No, Sorry"
Now the system had no idea what to do. He was going get into so much trouble if this host declined, but he had nothing else to use- wait, he does have something.
"If you were to not become a destroyer, your brother won't continue to live on after your death"
The system watched as Alex flinched and stared at him with an emotionless gaze as responded with blankness.
"What."
The system felt a little nervous by the change in attitude and emotions coming from their host, but they couldn't back down now. Steeling themselves, the system responded,
"If you don't become a destroyer, your brother will die from an inflicted gunshot wound. At the time of your death, your brother was so devastated that he killed himself to be with you, but, if you become a destroyer, we can keep him alive, where we can change his destiny to one where he lives and gets happiness he deserves, don't you want that for your brother?"
Alexander just stood there. A shadow covered his face, preventing the system from seeing his expression. He felt irritated and annoyed. He didn't want to do anything. He was already exhausted, the other form of exhaustion. He wanted to do nothing but lay down and willow away and into his thoughts of deprivation. But, now he can't because the system brought up his older brother. That was a stupid move but he couldn't do anything.
Alexander sighed, releasing so many emotions he wished to destroy, but, he can't, not now anyway.
"Fine, I will become a destroyer,"
The system felt happy but that was short-lived by the expression Alexander now sported,
"But, don't ever use my brother against me ever again."
The system felt chills that they weren't programmed to feel. The system stuttered and had no idea what to say.
"Do you understand?"
The system breaks out of its stupor and quickly answers a response,
"Y-Yes, I understand Host!"
If it was possible for the system to have a physical body, they are pretty sure they would be saluting and crying internally. This host of theirs was quite scary, which doesn't match the person sobbing and being scared when they died. {Talking about the hosts' death}
"Now then, what do you want me to do?"
"U-Um, you have to give me a name, it is a requirement"
The system felt nervous because their last host named them after their cat, Bobo. It was not a nice name they were happy with.
"Alright, then your name will be Bubbles"
"*GASP* NO Please! Choose something else host!!!!"
"Why should I?"
"Look I'm sorry! I'm sorry for using your brother against you but I had no choice!, my superiors are gonna scrap me if I can't turn you into a destroyer!!!!"
If it was possible, system #00365 would be crying rivers. Bubbles is an even worse name!
Alexander could only sigh at the metaphorically weeping system.
"...."
"*Sniffling*"
"...."
Alexander's eye twitches, before sighing once again.
"Mirai"
The system jolts, their mind not catching up,
"W-What?"
"Your name will be Mirai, Mira for short, take it or leave it"
The system happily spins in a circle,
"I'll take it! I'll take it! Thank you, host!"
If his system had a physical body, he is pretty sure they would be smiling like crazy right now, because of the way they are floating around happily and humming a toon.
Alexander smiles a little, before schooling it with a nonchalant expression.
"Mira, what do we have to do next?"
Mirai stops floating around and moves close to their host,
"Now we have to pick a world for you to travel to"
Alexander nodded his head and was surprised by three spheres popping up out of nowhere and spinning. they look similar to Earth, but they are very different in land and water.
"These are spheres recommended for your current level, which is F, after all, you are a starter!"
Alexander hums.
"The world on the left is level G while the other two are F, pick whichever one and I will tell you the details of them!"
Mirai happily explains.
Alexander looks at them and picks the one on the right, 'Level F'.
"Good choice!"
"World Level F: Leina Furro is a background character that was originally supposed to be one of the main characters, but the plot changed and he was pushed back into a plain background character. Leina was supposed to be one of the world's best and only level 7 magicians. He used his power to help many people and kingdoms from the war against the Titans. His destiny never came to fruition as Dion Gracher took the spotlight from him and became the MC along with his love interest, Hellen Hyro. Hellen becomes a level 7 Magician while Dion becomes a level 7 sword master. Level 7 was unheard of before those two became known to have achieved the level. Your goal is to stop the two MCs from getting together and possibly destroying the world and, stop them from finding the dark dragon egg that came from the dark ages of the past."
After hearing the plot, Alexander was in thought. Leina Furro was originally supposed to be the MC by becoming one of the first level 7 Magicians and having that power he was able to save humanity by defeating the Titans in the war. But, Dion Gracher took the spotlight as a Level 7 swordmaster along with the love interest becoming a Level 7 magician and they inevitably got together and somehow brought destruction to the world.
"What about the dragon egg, can you tell me more about that?"
"The dragon egg is the primary source of power a world hopper gave them. Basically, the MCs didn't get power because of hard work, but because a world hopper barged in and gave them the egg, which successfully changed the plot. A world hopper is kind of like you, but their job is to change the plot from the original, which is why there are two MCs in this one"
Alexander nodded his head in understanding.
"So, is there anything else I have to know or do before I have to go into this world?"
"Not really because once you are transported into the body of Leina Furro, the memories of that body will be yours to know, his secrets, his past, his knowledge, all of it will be yours to know and keep, along with his emotions"
"Okay, but, what about his personality, you said that I have to destroy the plot right? Is there anything that I can and can't do?"
"You have to act like Leina Furro, personality, and action-wise, while also simultaneously changing the plot. If you do that, then the world laws won't try to do anything to you. The world's laws are something that was put there so that nothing out of the ordinary, like character changes, will happen, it's supposed to prevent anything that wasn't there, from happening"
"And, by changing the plots, you can use anything as long as it's something your character will do, like, falling in love with the MC, that can change the world plot, or you can somehow, kill the MC, which also changes the plot"
Mirai explained. Alexander finally understood. He can do anything as long as it's in character. Alexander smirked, happy with the information he had gotten.
"Alright, thank you, Mira, now can start?"
"You are welcome my host, and yes, we shall start now"
Having chosen the world to travel to and having been explained the information about the world. They both were ready to finally travel to their first world. Mirai first world with their new host and Alexander first world with a system and being a destroyer.
This is gonna be great.
