"[ Simply said, this world or reality…is where the entire earth has been baptized by multiple manmade disaster, natural disaster…and all sort of end of the world scenario imaginable…it also took a whole another history path from the original earth…which produce many amazing things, Sir….]".
"...I see…. Sigh~…I supposed…luckily, I am here after all that bad shit had happened…".
"[ Yes, Sir…But that does not mean…it was safe…maybe, this world, at these current times…. might also be dangerous…]".
To give a clear summary of the world introduction by my imitation Alfred, this is earth, a parallel earth. The history is basically the same, there World War 1 and 2 and stuff like that, but to add more flavors to the human history, there is also World War 3 to 5. At World War 4, human of this earth found out that human isn't alone in this universe, so alien invasion happened, then the war stopped as Alien and human come to a truce. Earth technology advance after the aliens' help contributes to earth developments, robots and A.I come to existence; human lifespan increases as the medical advancement jumps years ahead.
The World War 4 ending brought a sunshine and happiness and also humanity advance, and then, like always a democratic super powers fuel by their spirit of imperialism and egos, wanted to spread their power, for no particular reason. The reason that they give, is because they were the leaders of humanity and because they can, so in turns the entire world got enough of their bullshit, and decided to stand up for themselves, this time the small nation banded together and said 'Fuck this shit' and just went nuts, the launch a nuclear bomb at each other's, and in retaliation, everyone else also go nuclear options.
That is basically the summary of World War 5, everyone said 'If I'm dying, you going to die too' paired with nearly all the world leader are all old egoistic, power maniac bastard that live way too long. That generation ruined everything for every single person on earth. Earth was baptized by nuclear explosion all over the globe, then as if the god also got enough, as the nuclear blast and radiation has yet to subsides, a meteor hit earth, which triggered a chain of natural disaster. From tsunamis to massive earthquakes, the chain of disaster lasted for an entire year. After all those things ended, turns out, the entire earth landmass has been moving about, and finally settled, combined into a one giant landmass, a Pangaea. Only after all this massive shit storm were done, the world is finally suitable for living, maybe.
".…By the way…where am I?".
"[I am afraid…that...I also don't know sir…. I do not have any outside information that I can access…. I apologize, sir...]".
"That's a bummer…anyway…. System…what can you do for me?".
"[At this very moment? nothing, Sir…]".
"Nothing? Hmmm…. why?".
I always read the isekai novel, where the protagonist always got mad and become unreasonable when their system said no. Personally, that part always irk me, be calm and just ask first, then again probably those MC are the kind that always want things to be handed to them on a silver platter.
"[It is because, you haven't completed your transition to this world and your current body, Sir…hence, all of my function is locked…. the only reason as to why I am able to speak and communicate with you…is to calm you down and ensuring that you survive the journey…]".
"Alright that is reasonable…. can the transition be completed?".
"[Yes, Sir….to complete the transition process…. you have to assimilate this new body completely…you will gain, this body memories, experience, and the accumulation of this body physical state…I need to remind you, sir…. the previous you, the owner of this body…. has various injuries in both physical and mental…so the process will be painful...very painful…]".
Also make sense and also quite relieving, as I would get this body memories and experience, I can settle for that, pain is something that I am confident that I can handle, I live my life used to such sensation, so it was alright for me, I supposed.
".…By the way, System…. there is one thing I want to ask you….and I want you to answer me truthfully…".
"[I am ready to answer your query truthfully, Sir…]".
"...Are you a system that designed for me and only belonged to me and will only serve my best interest…. or are you only designated for me, and you served someone else…. like a ROB or stuff like that…. can you answer that?".
I read a lot of novels, and some of the system or gold fingers that the MC get, many belonged to them. But there were also many instance that the System are serving some other entity, and the MC are just the bitch that got played, in some bigger scheme, become a puppet for the good and the system itself. And I am not the kind that like to be played around and become a chess pieces, I rather die than be someone else bitch.
"[ Once again, Sir…I know of your distaste to be used…and I, as apart of you, also shared the same sentiment…I am given to you by ROB as a gift….I am known as a low tier system…that would never be given out to anyone….a no thought gift from ROB, I was thrown to you as a compensation gift….you and me are not in their interest, thrown out of the way to never be looked at again…..I am not serving anyone other than you, your survival are my survival….and I wanted to live and serve you...For an entity like me, a System…..our greatest happiness, is to live, assist and serve our host to the best of our ability…I. Will only serve you and will never betray you…. forever, Sir…]".
Imitation Alfred, really tried it's best to convince me, his emphasize on certain things, made everything believable. Personally, it made sense that both of us seemed like an afterthought to the ROB, perhaps an accident or rather just a mundane obligation on ROB side that He / She might just wanted to get over with. Why I was able to come to such conclusion, first, there is no meeting with ROB for any sort of explanation or even a word, I ended up in a parallel earth, that is possibly on the verge of dying or rebirth, and then there is imitation Alfred, a system that said itself were low tiered/ a failed product. Then the imitation Alfred actions from the very start, it knew my personality and knew that its first step is to start slow with me. A forceful entity that may or not be powerful, if it doesn't care for you, would just be commanding and demanding from the get go, yet, it simply waited for me and tried to be amiable to me, which at some degree, it meant what it says.
"...System…if I agreed to proceed with the process…what do I need to do?".
"[Just say, 'Proceed to Completion'….and I will handle the rest, Sir…]".
Let's be honest, does all this seems shady, yes of course it is. Do imitation Alfred might harm me, perhaps, but at the end of the day, the circumstances that I am in, this shack, this half-paralyzed body, and the fact that I know I got hit by a concrete truck which 100% smashed my body to a meat paste. Whatever it is, I need to do something, anything, just so that I do not be in a position that I would be regretting in the future. If this was truly an Isekai situation, I wanted to be happy and enjoyed it, with a system on my side, this would make my life more enjoyable than the previous one.
"...Alright, system. Let's do it…".
"[ Understood, Sir….Initiating Transition Process.....90% to Completion….Host Condition/ Physical body : Multiple superficial injuries, Bones fracture, Bone Malformed, Organ Damages, Drug addiction…Calculating....Insufficient fund: Full body healing is not possible….Partial Healing Approved Attributed to (ROB Newbie Gift)….Host Condition/ Mentally: Stable and Healthy.....Conclusion…..Transition Process is safe to resume…..Host: Azra…Confirm the process….Keyword: Proceed to Completion.....]".
As soon as my system said, understood, the rest of its voice just turned to a machine voice, like an A.I, with no punctuation or fluctuation just a dead straight tone kinda voice, pretty chilly to hear.
".... Fuh~…. Proceed to Completion….".
"[…. Keyword confirmed...Transition Process Resume….90%…91%….92%...…high intensity pain start…. anesthetizing host for safer process completion…. Good night….]".
Before the voice mention the number '93%', enormous pain jolted my entire body, like a melting iron were poured down inside of my body, straight to my bone. I gritted my teeth, I even felt that my mouth was foaming, maybe I even pissed in my pant, probably, what I know is that everything is just excruciatingly painful, and then it doesn't, I blacked out.
