"My princess!! think it over!!"
I futilely struggled to raise my topless body only to be defeated by the gravity pushing me back.
At the adolescence stage of 20 supposed to be the rise of my life, in a room that allured one's lust I was supposed to be indulging myself in pleasure instead of protecting my life from danger.
'Fuck where did everything go wrong?' I wrestled the arm pushing it down to my chest. Only to struggle to squeeze out the strength due to our position.
'Dang it, I should have hidden the knife from the kitchen the cover of the book really does lie to you...! Hole 21, I thought you were the pure type character!!'
I ironically cursed the woman whom I forgot the name of, despite my life being held by her right now.
"Think it over! Give it 24 hours, my corpse will start stinking! It's the society we live in. You can't escape from the police, especially if you killed someone like me who struggled to climb here."
"I don't care~! I don't care~! I don't care~!" Shouted the Hole No.21 as if she was ready to accompany me on my journey to hell.
'Ah, this is hopeless... If I knew this would happen in the future, I should have learned self-defense in the past. No, first of all, I shouldn't gotten known to women. They're annoying, noisy, greedy, prideful despite being nothing but a hole. I especially hated the type of woman who says [this line has been deleted due to it violating a website's policy] only to cling to me like a cockroach when they're in trouble.'
"Fine. Do it. Just kill me. Enjoy your life in prison. You should be released from there after 5 years. Pffts, what a society we live in... A murderer released from... [this line has been deleted due to it violating a website's policy]"
I redirected my powers to sideway causing the stunned hole no.21 to barely miss her knife while staring at me dumbfoundedly as she didn't expect me to act like this when my life was endangered.
'It's a simple psychology that surprisingly stuns most people if you act far from what your opponents expect from you. The further you act from it the more it is effective.'
Sensing the opportunity, rolled over, knocking over the girl. Then, it was my time to ride her.
"You bitch, you thought you had me, didn't you!? You thought you could end my life while mockingly laughing at my decomposing corpse didn't you?"
I raised my fist and dropped it putting as much weight behind it as I could.
At first, the girl cried in pain but even those annoying cries stopped when bruises filled her face.
Then...
I slowly lost consciousness only to find out the blade stabbed over my chest, returning to the previous position we were in.
'So I dreamt a situation where I miraculously escaped from that hopeless situation... it's so painful... it's so hot... so cold... where did everything go wrong... being born? Or is it karma...?'
Eventually, my brain finally stopped sending out an electric signal.

"Waaah Waaah! (I'm reborn...? I'm reborn!... so, what comes the afterlife is rebirth! Why do I have my memory though? I prefer it forgotten so I could start anew...)"
"waaaaah (I'm reborn...? I'm reborn!... so, what comes the afterlife is rebirth! Why do I have my memory though? I prefer it forgotten so I could start anew...) (What is this?...)"
"Waaaah (It's so badly written.....)" My vision became hazy as I dropped my heavy eyelids.

2017 April 3
16 years have passed since then as I lifted my heavy foot toward the second high school of my life.
"Oh, it's back," I uttered mysteriously, feeling the drowsiness being lifted off.
Being born into an average family, loved by my both parents, and irritated at my older sister, I had what you can call a boring life.
If there was no incest with my sister not that I hoped, there also was no fear of being raped by my father, heck this family was even financially stable.
'It could have been much funnier if I was an orphan but welp, I'm lazy. If I hadn't any difficulty in my life, I don't need to risk my good karma accumulation over doing what I am familiar with and ruining my ending.'
With an unnecessary filling of my head, I took out my familiar earphones to listen to music. It was a wired one as well to match my current fashion. Despite how I acted and how average I looked, I cared a bit for my appearance.
It was at that moment when I settled the earphones ready to play the music on my phone that something that definitely didn't come from my phone rang in my ears.
[The Host has been spotted. Attempting the Awakening Stage to fully bind the system to the Host's body.]
"Hm? Hm?" I looked around confusedly to search for the person speaking.
"System? Is it the troupe that ended 3 years before I died in my previous world?" I said to no one and felt the stabbing pain in my eyes and head.
For the next thirty seconds, I held my head in pain before the pain started diluting until it finally disappeared.
"What just happened... Stats! Skills!" amidst the confusion, I slowly began understanding the situation, neither yelling in happiness nor yelping in despair.
'I was reborn in this world, merely being given a system gives me no surprises... besides...'
"Status!!" I finally hit the code to showcase the system's capability as the blue interface blocked my view and reflected my face giving me the sensation of despair when the screen turned black while watching a hentai scene.
[The Awakening Stage has succeeded. Undergoing the Trial to bind the system to the host. Please r... conquer the approaching girl]
'Did you just try to fucking say rizz? Does my system have brain rot? No way... I'm not dealing with th- wait a minute, who the fuck is this? White hair? Violet eyes? why the hell does this ugly bastard have the same face as me?'
'Fuck it's me. Give me back my black hair and brown eyes. The gloomy, hard-to-approach impression was my persona to keep me away from those bitches'
I pulled my hair in frustration.
T̶h̶e̶n̶ s̶u̶d̶d̶e̶n̶l̶y̶ a̶ h̶i̶g̶h̶p̶i̶t̶c̶h̶e̶d̶ s̶o̶u̶n̶d̶ r̶a̶n̶g̶ o̶u̶t̶ b̶e̶h̶i̶n̶d̶ m̶e̶ a̶s̶ s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ c̶o̶l̶l̶i̶d̶e̶d̶ w̶i̶t̶h̶ m̶e̶
Reading the text, I reacted neatly to dodge the bitch cluelessly approaching behind me.
"Hello, Miss. You should look at what's in front of you while you're walking outside." I called out to the girl who had a bread in her mouth running to school.
'How the fuck is she going to bump me if I hadn't dodged her. Nothing is blocking her view. She's just running. Is this bitch fucking blind?'
"Oh, sorry! I didn't notice you!! That uniform... are you also attending Shujin Academy? Woah what a coincidence! I would like to talk to you a lot but sorry! I'm late for school!" said the girl as she stopped to look at the time indicated on her phone.
'What an extrovert. I thought such person went extinct after COVID... oh wait, COVID hadn't happened here yet.'
'Whatever, the time on her phone is wrong but well I'm not pointing it out. It's probably destiny's mischief to provide me with information on a topic.'
'I'm not talking with a woman and I'm not having a brain rot system attached to me.'
"I will be going now! I'm Teruhashi Kokomi! See you later at school!!" Unable to hold in the awkward atmosphere Teruhashi stopped looking at the time and headed out.
A frustrated face finally spilled over Teruhashi's face after she turned the corner. 'Why are you not saying 'Ofu'!! This Teruhashi, the most beautiful girl in the world has come out of her way to brighten your day!! I even allowed you to point out the wrong time!!'
Frustrated at the boy who gave her no care, Teruhashi slowed the pace of her feet heading to the school. It was her first day at school but it was already going bad for her, the person blessed by this world.
Returning to me who was reading the dialogue, I let out a sigh. "I fucked up... It's the 'why don't you fawn over me' cliche... a fucking trap question"
"Also can someone hire a better author for me? OR at least read your own novel before publishing it because it's so hard to read."
Still, I managed to calm down my beating heart after I read out her true thoughts. Despite her disappointingly narcissistic thoughts, Teruhashi Kokomi was truly the most beautiful person I have ever seen both in my previous and this world.
The fact that this kind of person just 'RANDOMLY' rolled around here makes me terrified of this world I had reincarnated in.
[What in the world is Host doing!! You should be chatting with Teruhashi Kokomi on your way to school by now!! Do you swing that way? You're starting to look real sus rn. Does Host has no rizz?]
"You're reminding me of someone who I hated to the core..." I weakened my voice irritated so that it wouldn't reach the bypassers.
"So annoying" Then I clicked my tongue, raising the white bang I honestly did not like blocking my view.
With my violet eyes directed to the sky as if staring upfront at the system, I muttered with a dark expression.
I poured my bloodlust into the system that didn't have a body.
At that moment I didn't know, but killing or rather, destroying the system was rather easy.
To bind itself to the user also meant to share its life with the user/host. If you kill the host the system is bound to, the system would die the moment the host dies like a certain Jinchuriki from a certain anime.
For this reason. Most systems bind themselves to a pushover, who, despite complaining at the system, would be willing to be the system's slave.
For the same reason, most systems would reward the host for the tiniest task they accomplished. This is also used to bloat the host's ego, brainwashing them into thinking that they're useless without a system.
If lucky, the system could find a suitable host within days.
If unlucky, the system would die on its own within a week, unable to find the host.
As for the system in front of me, with its remaining lifespans over 2 days, was panicking due to his inability to find the right host.
I lifted the corner of my mouth. 'So I can destroy it if I kill myself after binding it to me. But there is no need for that. I can persuade this parasite into thinking I will accept him in 2 days'
At this moment, I learned how to destroy a system.
'Aah, I'm such an asshole to be interested in erasing someone that doesn't exist. I hope this action doesn't influence my karma accumulation.' I thought to myself as creepy laughter spilled, reminding me of my past psychotic self.
"It is as you said, Mr. System... I have no rizz at all. I've always wanted a girlfriend but with my gloomy personality and the lack of courage to act out, my attempts had always failed before it even began..."
"If possible I hope the system to teach me da wei to women's wom- heart."
['That terrifying gaze... must have been my imagination.']
'Woah... what an idiot.' was my thought after reading the system's thought.
[Skibidi! You have the spirit but you ain't simp. If you took care of your appearance you would be the goat, girls would be edging over you and femboy gooning for you. :skull: :skull: :fire: :fire:]
'Son of a bitch speaks Japanese.' I nodded to the system
"Thank you!"
[Link up with me, and you'll be the goat of your class. Seriously, you'll be flexing on everyone, and they'll be shook. You'll have all the clout, and you'll be on mewing streaks. No cap, this is your glow-up moment.]
"Want to but I had an experience of downloading virus software on my PC. It's okay if it's just my computer but this stuff involves my body and I don't want dangerous stuff in it."
"If you have one, is it possible to use the trial version? I want to confirm your safety assurance. Changing my hair and eye colors felt dangerous."
[Bruh you ain't me fr fr. imagine being so dumb you download a virus. can't be me :skull: aight deez nuts.]
[You have received a two-day trial version. Would you like to accept it?]
'Perfect. Seems like he's really confident in me accepting the system.'
I smiled it off clicking the 'Yes' option before resuming my step to school.
