Chapter 1: Forgotten Memories
The Void. Nothing is here, not light, not space and not time. There's nothing but void and atoms.
A faint gray light glowed in the void, it faded and reappeared—repeatedly like a beating heart, as if it was on thin-line between life and death.
'This place...what is this place?..' The 'Soul' asked itself in their own mind.
The soul tremble, before it stopped as if it had realise a important thing.
'Who am I?' The soul asked itself.
Flash of memories containing decades of experience resurface in their mind.
The soul namd is Isidore, a 24 year old guy. He worked in the most popular gaming industry and was responsible for fixing bugs and testing the game for any glitches.
'No No No NO! I have to wake up! My mother needs me!' The soul shouted to himself.
He tried his best to wake up from this 'dream' but unfortunately, all of his effort were futile, he doesn't seem to be waking up any time soon..
........
....
....
After what felt like a eternity inside this void, somethings had materialise before him... somethings so Familiar–yet so unfamiliar.
[ Suitable Host has been found ]
[ Searching for a suitable world ]
[ Searching In Progress..... ]
A pink window screen style in kawaii decor appeared before him.
'What's this?' The soul asked in confusion.
He couldn't quite grasp the meaning of why a pink window screen had materialise in front of him.
It felt like he knows what this window screen is.. but he doesn't remember it clearly...why can't he remember? Was a question he asked himself but unfortunately no one was there to answer him.
[ Success! ]
[ SHI-MMORPG is selected to be suitable for the host SOUL ]
[ Commencing Transfer of Host SOUL to a suitable Body ]
[ Countdown in 10....9....8...]
The pink window screen appeared again, overlapping against each other making him unable to read the previous panel.
'SHI-MMORPG?' The soul muttered in his thought, feeling a sense of unease and familiarity in the depths of his mind.
[ 3...2...1...]
The soul tremble in Surprise? Fear? Excitement? Only gods know.
His soul gradually faded as the system countdown ended, Commencing the transferred of him, to a 'suitable body'.
Suddenly a eerie red hand took hold of Isidore's soul, it began to merge with Isidore, wrapping around his soul. It emitted a anomalous aura, as it seamlessly enveloping Isidore's soul like some kind of gift box.
[ Warning! Warning! Individual ■■■■■■■■ is merging with the host SOUL! ]
[ Warning! Warning! Individual ■■■■■■■■ is merging with the host SOUL! ]
The system warned but it was futile, the eerie red aura had throughly enveloped Isidore's soul and was not willing to be saperated.
[The A.I Lolita is Intervening the process]
Immediately a pink barrier materialise around Isidore's soul, pushing the eerie red aura away from merging with Isidore's. But it didn't stop the red aura from following Isidore with his transmigration process.
And so the cycle of the system A.I protecting Isidore Souls and the eerie red aura's attempts of merging with him continues. It continues even when Isidore had successfully transmigrated inside the suitable body.
........
Inside the laboratory and deep underground, many scientists were typing on the computer and writing documents.
In front of them stood a massive chamber filled with pure blue water, it reminded them of a hot spring. At the middle of the massive chamber stood...No...floated a naked child covered in fatal injuries from head to toes.
She had a massive hole in her stomach as if a grenade had exploded inside of her body, her arms and legs were dislocated with bone sticking out, and the pure blue water were mixed with her blood.
It was a brutal and cruel sight to behold. But what made this girl special was the white and beautiful wings behind her back although it looks a little injured on the surface, other then that it looks perfectly fine.
She had long yellow hair that reach to her hips an—
*Twitch*
The girl seem to had made some action. Her limps twitched and her eyes slowly opening, revealing her crimson red eyes.
"*Grasp!*"
"HOW!?"
"This is a miracle! "
"Vinny-sama need to know this!"
"Quickly! Check her condition! "
....
Many of the scientists including the quiet one were all shock and stunned at the girl waking up from its fatal injuries. It was a miracle for this girl to be alive despite having a large hole in her stomach along with her limps being dislocated.
But now it was not the time for them to dwell on it–they had to check the girls condition and keep her alive or else they be fired from their job.
But unbeknownst to anyone, the injured girl who woken up wasn't the girl they know, it was our beloved main character of this novel.
'It hurt...My body hurt...' Isidore thought.
He felt a lot of pain going through his body, it felt like his chest had been burned and stabbed by countless knife. His arms and legs were even worse as he felt that moving them a bit was painful..literally too painful to even try to move them at all.
"Agh" he grunted and what come out was a slightly high pitch female tone–before his throat started to strain as if he had been stabbed in the neck countless time.
'It hurt...it hurt.' Isidore exclaim in his thought.
It was agonising for him, as a ordinary person to go through this, and what felt like a eternity of pain, a pink panel materialise in his vision.
[ Notice! Individual ■■■■■■■ had granted the Host a Resistance Skill [Resist Pain]
The pink window screen materialise in front of her as it spoked in a cute and robotic tone. The pain he felt is reduced by a large amount making him sigh in relief, he could still feel the pain going through his body but it's manageable for now.
*Step* *step* *step*
*step* *Step* *step*
Multiple footstep echo in his ears, he focused his sight slightly to see two unfamiliar figure standing in front of her. They were blurry in his vision but Isidore could tell some key feature.
The one in the middle had long white hair and beautiful blue glowing eyes, she seems to be wearing a white cloak or jacket, maybe it's a robe? He doesn't know, it's too blurry for him to tell.
The other one beside the white haired girl had short black hair and dim blue eyes, his body is taller and more muscular then the white haired girls so Isidore assume that it was a guy and the white haired girl was a girl.
The two of them seem to be talking about something but she couldn't understand it, they were speaking in a entirely different language.. The way they speak were a bit familiar to him but he couldn't quite remember it.
Combined with the fact that his hearing were also bad didn't help him understand the language any better,
'This must be a dream.. right?...' Isidore thought before grunting in pain.
He felt his body being stabbed by needle and the heat in his body raising up as if he was burning from the inside out but the warm water around him had seemingly relief some of the pain with its warm temperature.
'No...this isn't a dream.. The pain is too real and this water.. Feels warms as well.. This is definitely not a Dream' Isidore analysed in his mind.
He could think a lot better now that the pain is less intense then before, although he doesn't know why the pain decreased but he doesn't mind it, it's probably because of the warm water around him right?
Unbeknownst to him someone had intervene and helped him gained a Pain Resistance skill thought he will never know it. Before he could think and question his situation any further. A pink window screen appeared before him.
[Rank: Peak

The system voice didn't sounded out this time as it let Isidore read the content himself.
'Healing Spring..is that what this water around me is?' He thought in surprise.
'Wait a minute.....SYSTEM!???' Isidore Shouted in his mind, he was Shock, Stunned and Excited at the same time, finally realising what the pink window screen is called from his somewhat blurry memories.
His emotion were mixed and complex but a uneasy feeling rise in his heart. He dismiss it and quickly ask the system about his status panel, not caring about the pain his body felt anymore as his curiosity took controlled of his mind.
'Show me my Status Panel!' Isidore excitingly thought with enthusiasm.

To say that he was shock was a understatement.
'Fatally injured...that explain why my body hurt so much.' Isidore spoke in his mind while wrenching a little at the pain his body was going through but unlike before he could endure it now.
'HP and MP Corruption? What does that mean? ' He questioned, he never heard of this terms before, is it even a words?
Regardless of his scepticism the system answered his question in a clear and cute robotic tone.
[HP and MP Corruption: This Abnormality will make the Host, not be able to Regeneration any Health Point and Mana Point. The reason is mainly cause by fatal damage to the Host body. ]
'Ehhh!? That's bad! Really bad!.. Ouch! ' He grunted at the sudden jolt of pain going through his body.
He endured it and decided to ask the system about the cursed stats.
[Cursed: Every Living Creature has a curse placed on them since birth. It is essential a limiter for higher grade creature]
'A limiter huh? Then why do I have three!?' He screamed in his mind, clearly upset about the three cursed on his status panel.
[Gluttony: Your hunger will grow larger per every meal, if the host is unable to satisfy the stomach then the stomach itself will eat the host body. ]
[Linked: The host Emotion and Presence will be felt by the Individual "Vinny Yokai" No matter where the host is—'she' will feel the host presence and emotion no matter how far the host location is. ]
[Low Intelligence: Makes the host memories blurry along with slightly changing the host behaviour to a childish personality and having Low Intelligent, Knowledge and Understanding of the world around the host. ]
'....This is just unfair for me.' Isidore exclaim, it was no wonder that he couldn't remember much, it's all this cursed [Low Intelligence] Fault for making her memories foggy.
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*
The sound of tapping reached his ears. Snapping him back to reality, he stare at the white haired girl tapping the glass chamber in front of him.
"##### ### ### ####?" The white haired girl said something that he couldn't understand.
The white haired girl turned to the black haired man behind her.
"### ######## ## ##### #####" The white haired girl spoke again.
'I completely understand white girl. Truly astonishing words you had said' Isidore exclaim in his thought while mentally nodding.
The white haired girl turned back to face Isidore "#### ###### ###" She exclaim with a nod.
'Yes yes.. it is white girl' Isidore mentally spoke staring blankly at her with a understanding gazes.
Incase you didn't know, Isidore was pretending to understand her words, it was probably to ignore the constant pain going through his body.
The two of them look at each other silently....before long the black haired guy stepped forwards and give something to the white haired girl.
"#### ##### #### #####!!" The white haired girl shouted some words to the black haired guy.
"#####! #####! ##### ##### ## ##!" The black haired guy spoke in apologising manner?
"###### #####!" The white haired girl seemed to accept before shooing the black haired guy away.
'Yeah that's right! Shoo that black haired guy away!' Isidore cheered in his mind.
The white haired girl seem to nod in agreement as if it had read Isidore mind or Intention, it doesn't matter as the white haired girl then showed a colourful book with strange letters on it.
"#### ## ###### #####!"
'Mhm'
"##### ###### ####!"
'Yes yes'
....
The white girl then open the book and began saying something and showing it to him.
" Ah " The white haired girl spoke a single words and pointed at the big letter on the book and become silent as if waiting for him to repeat what she had said.
'I don't think I understand..' then a sudden jolt of pain spread throughout his body, it lessened gradually to a more manageable pain.
'Owww. I swear this sudden jolt of pain is starting to annoy me' Isidore complained, he had gotten used to the constant (Manageable) pain his body felt but the sudden jolt of pain got him off caught everytime, making him grunt or flinch at it, resulting in even more pain since speaking or moving even a inch is painful for his current state.
" A " The white haired girl repeated.
"..." Isidore stayed silent while staring blankly at the White haired girl.
*Slap*
The white haired girl slapped her forehead as if she had realised something.
"##### #### #### ##### #####!" She shouted in anger? before turning around and walking towards a door.
"#### ##### ####" the white haired girl shouted to the scientists, her mere words had made them shivered as if the white haired girl had threatened them.
*BANG!*
She slammed the door shut leaving all the seemingly terrified scientists to do their work...or atleast that was what he is seeing with his blurry vision.
'Ouch my ears, white girl could you have close the door softly? ' he mentally complained, staring at the closed door where she had left.
