There she saw the little girl who was just down there, a moment ago. She was now right in front of her face. At her eye level.
No, she hadn't grown in size. But she was floating! In the air!
"Ahh!" Zeva fell back on her bed and scrambled backwards.
"What are you? Ghost!!" She asked with wide eyes.
The little girl calmly landed herself directly on the bed, causing Zeva to scoot back even more.
She rolled her eyes at the grown up woman's behaviour and said, "No. I am not a ghost."
Zeva nodded her head and then slightly sitting upright, she said, "That's right. Ghost don't steal and eat ice cream. Then who are you?" But then she eyes lit up as if guessing something, and she checked the back to the kid saying, "Let me check your back, if you have not any highly advanced jet backpack kind something." But no. There was nothing there.
The little girl only had a cute looking dress on her body, and nothing else. She did not even have shoes on right now.
Zeva looked at the little girl dumbfoundedly, not knowing what to do or say.
She currently did not even know what was happening around her or with her. Zeva only knew that what ever it is, it is all weird.
Finally, the little girl spoke up.
" I am not a ghost. Or a human." And what followed this sentence was awkward silence.
Zeva was about to crackle into laughter, but then thent the little girl stretched out her little hand like a formal gesture of handshake, as she said, "Hello. My name is Lia. And I am a system being. And from today on, I am the incharge of your granted system. "
Zeva frowned a little in confusion and asked, "System? The one that we find in shows, and novels?"
Lia gave it a thought, and said, "Yes. Some stupid humans have written some fiction about it. You can say it is something like that. Not exactly. But something like that. "
"..." SILENCE.
SILENCE AGAIN.
AND THEN MORE SILENCE.
And this time Zeva really couldn't keep it anymore and burst out into a series of laughter. "Oh my, oh my. Dear. You should stop watching too many cartoons and reading comics, alright. It is messing up with your brain. "
And hearing this, Lia felt too dumb, standing there with her little body with her hands stretched out, that this shameless woman did not even bother shaking!
Lia flee again and presented the laughing Zeva with another smack on her head ceasing her laughter.
Zeva went dumb again with disbelief. She couldn't believe that she was being smacked by a little kid who was five times younger than her , that too twice.
Zeva was about to protest but her mouth got stiched again when she saw her flying. "You humans are really the stupidest! Even after seeing me fly, you don't believe me. Also, it was me who had saved you by choosing you. Or else , by now you would have been a splattered bloody mess somewhere down the cliff, on your way to do a good deed! No gratefulness at all! Stupid people! "
Shaking her head, she went on shocking the already shocked Zeva. She waved both her hands, and a visual computing screen like something appeared in front of them.
There, Zeva saw her information flashing up. And her turned even more shocked and confused.
"Zeva Chen. 19 years old. Has completed her high school. A smart person. Has no directly blood connection on the Earth currently, aka, orphan. She is a businesswoman...?" Lia drawled on this one, as she made a funny face. Nevertheless she read again, "Currently gets a lot of admirers. Her biggest personality is being crazy.
Goal in life is to get so rich that she can laze around whole day." Lia read out one by one.
And the more Zeva heard it, the more mixed and complicated feelings she felt.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Can't she be more gentle and considering. Calling someone outright orphan is little offending, alright!
And what does she mean by I am crazy! I am clearly a gentle, elegant, woman of class, okay!
But this was all what she thought in her mind. Because Zeva did not have the tongue to say it out loud.
How will she even! This all that she was seeing was not something she had ever even seen in the wildest of her dreams even.
Then she heard Lia tsk and say, "The system has not been updated for quite some time. I think it is showing wrong information. "
"And why do you think so?" Zeva asked to which, Lia looked up at her with a raised eyebrow.
