[RETURNEE IS WAKING UP]

Yoo-jin let out a low groan, his body overwhelmed by a strange mix of tingling sensations and fatigue, while a mechanical voice echoed relentlessly in his mind, intensifying the throbbing in his skull.

As he gradually opened his eyes, the world around him remained a blur, and a wave of nausea washed over him, forcing him to notice the cold, hard bathroom floor littered with scattered pills. Struggling to regain his composure, he leaned heavily against the toilet, feeling the weight of his exhaustion.

Suddenly, he was overtaken by the urge to vomit, the burning sensation in his throat amplifying the pounding in his head, and as he heaved, tears streamed down his cheeks, a testament to the overwhelming distress he was experiencing.

[◀ WELCOME RETURNEE! ▶ ]

A mechanical voice echoed in my mind, accompanied by a sudden blue screen that appeared out of thin air, its brightness stabbing at my eyes with an unbearable intensity. The nausea surged again, and I found myself retching once more.

I squeezed my eyes shut, groaning as the world around me twisted and swirled, the sensation of spinning overwhelming my senses.

After another wave of sickness, I forced my eyes open, desperate to find some paper to clean myself up and regain a semblance of control over the chaos engulfing me.

I found myself mumbling in confusion, "What are you?" as I struggled to comprehend the chaotic scene around me.

 Why was I sprawled on the ground, surrounded by a scattering of pills? Where exactly was I, and what was that strange presence looming nearby? The last clear memory I had was of an encounter with a god?

[ ◀ THE GOD-OF-WHISHES ISNT EXACTLY A GOD ▶ ]

[ ◀ HE HAS BEEN GIVEN A TITLE BUT HAS NOT BEEN YET CHOSEN TO BE A GOD ▶ ]

[ ◀ HE IS A WORKER,  WORKING FOR THE GOD, HE IS AN IMMORTAL BEING ▶ ]

[ ◀ BUT NOT A GOD ▶ ]

[ ◀ I AM NOT A B31NG I DO NOT TRULY HAVE A F0RM ▶ ]

[ ◀ YOU MAY CALL ME "PROTO-SYSTEM" ▶]

"Proto system?" I thought, confused about what was happening. "Well, where am I? What's happening?" I said, bewildered.

[◀ YES I AM " PROTO-SYTEM" THOUGH MY REAL NAME IS " PROTO-SYSTEMA" OR " λογισμικό " MEANING SOFTWARE. ▶]

[◀ AS BOTH MY CREATORS ARE FROM DIFFERENT LANDS ▶]

[◀ ANAHUA, WHAT YOU HUMANS CALL MEXICO AND GREEK THESE LANDS ARE BOTH IN A DIFFERENT ■■■■ WHERE GODS AND IMMORTALS STAY, YOU CAN FIND IT BY GOIN■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ▶]

screeeeeeechhhhhh***

A screeching sound emitted from the robot made my ears hurt, ringing was the only thing I could hear.

[error]

[◀ YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN SOUTH KOREA.▶]

[◀ IN THE HOUSE OF THE PERSONS BODY YOU ARE IN .▶]

"what was that!" i say rubbing my ears

[◀ I DO NOT UNDER STAND WHAT YOU MEAN ▶]

"the ■■■■" I attempt to speak, but only faint nonsense emerges from my mouth. 

[ YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY THAT]

 [WARNINGS: 1 ]

[AS I AM A PROTO I AM ALLOWED TO GIVE CONSEQUENCES WHENEVER AND BLAME IT ON AN ERROR]

 ⟦ ERROR ⟭

 ⟦ SYSTEM IS OVERWRITING ⟭

 ⟦ PLEASE WAIT TILL IT IS FIXED ⟭

 ⟦ … ⟭

"What the fuck is happening " I whisper, utterly bewildered. A sharp jolt of pain shoots through me as I gradually rise to my feet, my gaze drawn to my wrist where crimson droplets trickle down, the result of tiny, jagged cuts marring my skin.

I was frozen in disbelief, struggling to comprehend what was occurring.

"w-what the fuck" I drape myself with a white towel that was lying on the sink.

⟪ SWAPPING PROTO-SYSTEM TO YOUR SYSTEM ⟫

⟪ HELLO! ^^⟫

⟪ OH...⟫

"oh what?" i say freaking out 

⟪ RIGHT SORRY ⟫

⟪ SYSTEM ■■ IS ACTIVATING ADMINISTRATION HEALTH SYSTEM ⟫

The healing process of my wounds has begun, resulting in faint scars that are barely visible to the eye. Despite this progress, the towel remains marked with dried blood, small scars where left behind.

"you can do that!" i say surprised 

⟪ YES ITS APART OF MY PROGRAM ⟫

⟪ NOW I MUST GET YOUR CONFUSED;;;⟫

⟪ BUT BEFORE I CAN TELL YOU ⟫

⟪ YOU MUST COMPLETE SOEMTHING⟫

⟪ DING ▾⟫

As I gaze at the azure glow of the screen, a wave of confusion washes over me, leaving me momentarily disoriented. With a tentative finger, I press the arrow icon, watching in fascination as the display expands before my eyes, transforming into a larger canvas that beckons for my attention.

⟪ CLEAN THE BATHROOM ⟫

⟪ DETAILS: you must clean up

the restroom before the 

 timer ends.

REWARD: information, prize

TIME : 5 MINUTES⟫

⟪Y/N ?⟫

I clicked the 'Yes' button.

⟪TIMER STARTING⟫

⟪ ... ⟫

⟪YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES STARTING NOW THEY WILL BE GREEN ARROWS SHOWING THE WAY IF YOU NEED SOMETHING ⟫

I acknowledge my decision with a nod, then reach for the pills, discarding them into the trash can before my gaze settles on the green arrow pointing towards the door.

My hand clenches into a nervous fist as I prepare to move forward.

Upon opening the door, I step into a modest bedroom adorned with some musical equipment, I survey my surroundings while following the arrow's guidance.

The disorientation of being in an unfamiliar place is overwhelming, especially after the recent experience of lying in bed, teetering on the brink of death.

I push open another door, revealing a laundry area where I toss a bloodstained towel into the washing machine, activating it before taking a seat at the table.

My body feels heavy and lethargic, as if weighed down by the gravity of my situation. Sitting in this strange chair feels unsettling, and the house around me exudes a sense of simplicity, coldness, and isolation, like in my previous life had his wish not been granted?

⟪ congrats you have finished you first task! ⟫

"first? so this wont be my last one?" I express my bewilderment, questioning the necessity of completing this task alongside that peculiar extraterrestrial entity.

hehe;;; ⟫

⟪well you completed you task so i will answer your questions;;; ⟫

⟪ yes, this wont be your last one, an error has happened in our part so you wont be able tp get your wishes so i system have come to help you and compensate you! though nothing comes for free didn't he say that before you got reincarnated ⟫

I tried to remember my talk with him " ah " i say remembering "why did you change your font?"

 to refrain of being scary⟫

I gaze at the system in bewilderment. " I want to know more on why my wishes haven't been granted and what I'm supposed to do now?" I say raising my eyebrow.

⟪ ah, yes your whishes well the body you were supposed to be reborn in had an error and the body didn't die, so we had to find a new body quickly or you'd perish ⟫

" what!" i say standing up quickly a wave of nausea comes through me making sit down again "what am i supposed to do now" i say sighing rubbing my temples

⟪ well we will compensate you of course, but you will have to be that person now ⟫

"what?" i say confused my head was spinning around with all this new profound information 

⟪ you will have to act like this person for the rest of your life ⟫

i stare at the blue screen in front of my my eyes where shaking a little i knew that if my wish was granted i would have to pretend to be someone but i would have my wish granted, but now i will have to act like someone who's life is depressing to the point of seeking death

another screen popped up

⟦ 'new' begging ⟭

DETAILS: for the 'rest' of your

life you renew and become a different 

person and act like them.

REWARD: you will live the life you've always wanted

TIME LIMIT : until you die

⟦Y/N ⟭

i click the 'no' button i didn't want suffer any longer i was already tired of faking everything and doing things to make other people happy

[error]

[ selecting 'yes' ]

"what?!" is say confused i stand up and grab both ends of the blue screen 

[ my, my you are truly naive ]

i look at the screen confused as fuck "w-what?" 

[ * sigh * you are truly a naive returnee ]

[ now is there any more information you need of, before the reward is finished ]

of course i need more information you bastard how am i supposed to act like someone if i don't know them " yes, if i am goin to act like someone even if i don't ■■■ to " i paused confused was i not allowed to express my own feelings " i-i need information of the body I'm in" i say letting the system go and sitting down the body's movements where awkward and slow

[ Ah, yes of course my deepest apologies ]

[the persons body you are in has been named " yoo-jin " the same as you he is currently 17 years old, he lived in a small apartment building with his parents and his little sister " Binna " (빛나) Meaning Shining, after you told your parents about wanting to become a K-pop idol they got mad at you and beat you, you got kicked out at the age of 14 you still are in contact with your sister, you lived at a shelter until you got a job at 15 living in motel to motel, moving into this place at age 16, while you where scouted at 14, five weeks before your birthday, you got bullied and the CEO tried to sell you off to the investors, you quit and your mental state had been getting worse, you developed an eating disorder, and insomnia due to being an idol, you tried killing yourself after you didn't make it into a company to become a trainee again, and ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ]

I read the information bewildered on how this person lived his life, his life didn't even come close to mine his was much more terrible, he was probably so lonely when he died " what happened to this owners body" i say in a sad tone my hand goin into a fist.

he will move on into the afterlife and wait till he is reborn to start renew if he isn't a candidate to get his wish ]

for some reason i feel relief he will have a chance to life again and maybe be able to have a happy family.

"what do i do now" i say 

[ maybe take a shower and change you are quite dirty from earlier ]

i jump up from the chair remembering about earlier i rush to the bathroom to shower, i stop mid way "wait where do i get my clothe" i say still unfamiliar with the house

[ there is a closet in the bedroom there are clothes there ] 

i decided to take a shower first then get clothes later wanting to clean this dirt body who has been depressed and dead for who knows how long

[ oh i have to warn you- ]

"shut up i have to shower go somewhere else!" i say closing the curtain.
