As soon as I reached the stable after finishing my quota, I called out to the system, "Delta". I was exhausted from the constant labor but I still checked my surroundings and found no one except the Lakéquses. I was still cautious so I kept my voice as low as possible.
- "Delta is at host's service."
'Eventhough I have heard this male robotic and monotonous voice a lot of times, I'm still not used to it. Imagine being in a quiet room and suddenly a voice like that resounds out of nowhere directly into your ear!'
I kept my thoughts aside and sat down while whispering to the air, "Tell me everything that I need to know about this world, you and the situation." Instead of asking a series of questions like the previous time, I directly went out to ask for important information. I would first listen to the information before clarifying my doubts after all; I had the whole evening to myself.
- "As the host wishes, Delta will provide host with the information that delta has but Delta should mention beforehand that Delta was created in an emergency by Psais so Delta only has limited information."
I was restlessly resting while sitting on the floor, my eyes were closed but from my facial expression it must have been clear that I was annoyed. If he was able to read my thoughts, all he would have heard would be me cursing him, his beloved Goddess, Psais and my luck!
Leaving me to my misery, Delta continued.
- "An unknown and unfathomable entity who called himself 'The Slayer', suddenly entered the realm of the Gods and killed the three sisters, Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. Upon noticing this, the agitated Gods and 'The Slayer' and his army started a long war. Many Gods died in the battle but towards the end as they were about to overpower The Slayer, he vanished.
- "Meanwhile, all the realms were in chaos when the three sisters died and Psais, the Goddess of Destiny had to take on their role. But, as soon as Psais got the world in her control, The Slayer appeared and kidnapped her. In Her last ditch effort, she created Delta and fused Delta with the only soul that had no limitations on it, the host's soul.
- "Delta immediately detached host's soul from his body and brought him into this world. This is the world where 'The Slayer' is keeping Psais captive. Delta requires the host to save Psais and bring justice to 'The Slayer' so that the world can continue to be in harmony again."
I opened my eyes as Delta paused. I was pretty sure my eyes were red with anger and grief. With a loud voice startling the Lakéquses, I spitted, "YOU KILLED ME! YOU RUINED MY LIFE! I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR GODDESS, SEND ME BACK HOME!"
Even I was surprised from my anger! I looked around and realized my situation before calming myself down. But, I had to agree, this was the first time I felt this revolted!
Hoof! Hoof! Hoof!
The Lakéquses thrashed for a while before calming down when Delta spoke again.
- "Delta is sorry but Delta cannot send host back to his home planet. Delta does not have the permission of Psais to do so. Only after the host saves Psais and asks for her permission, can Delta do so."
Never in my whole 24 years of life, did I hate someone so much. Afraid that the masters might come if I scream again, I kept my cool and asked into the empty air, "Sigh! So, you're saying that I have to beat this guy who can kill Gods on an unknown planet, save the damsel in distress, your Goddess and only then can I go back to my home?"
- "That is a correct presumption, host."
"…"
'Never had a robotic voice annoyed me so much. How can I, an office worker in a slave's body, defeat someone who can kill multiple Gods? Assuming that the Gods weakened or wounded this Slayer, I still don't think I would stand a chance.'
I stopped thinking and took some deep breaths of the stale air of the stable. After I was able to calm myself, I asked into the air, "Do you have a plan Delta?"
There was a strange pause before Delta replied,
- "Delta is designed to help the host adapt to this world and grow stronger faster. 'Only a limitless body can manifest a limitless soul.' These were Psais' last words as she sent Delta towards the host as she went on to confront 'The Slayer'."
"Adapt to the world and grow stronger? How much time is it even going to take? What if by the time I'm strong enough to defeat that monster, he kills Psais or worse destroys the whole world, including Earth?" I panicked.
- "According to the data that Delta has on host's previous life, a status window sort of display would make it easier for host to get stronger at a faster rate. Delta will also integrate the three gifts Psais has given the host to make amends for putting the host through such a trial."
After listening to his words, I was surprised, curious, cautious and glad at the same time. I mean, who didn't like gifts? More so if it's a Goddess who's giving the gift even if I already hate her. This somewhat lightened my mood a little but I was still cautious of what was to come. I just hoped it wasn't something troublesome! And yeah, I was finally going to get my cheat status window! I hope it's as amazing as it was in the fantasy works in my last life!
Putting me out of my excitement, the male robotic voice which I already hate echoed into my ear.
- "The host's 'Status window' is ready; you can call upon the status window by saying 'status' or you can set up gestures to use them later."
'I'll think about the gestures later when I'll be free and have sorted my thoughts. Firstly, I need to check my status window!' I wetted my dry throat by swallowing my saliva and said with a hoarse but expectant voice, "Status". As I said that word, my eyes flashed with a very low and unnoticeable green hue and a light green colored screen appeared infront of me!
