( Ishata Pov.)
My name is Ishita, and I am a parasite. That is the truth of my existence. I am one of seven sisters, each embodying a different sin, and together we are known as the Seven Arch-Parasites.
Our mother gave us many gifts, but they were cruelly stripped away from us. Our home galaxy, PyT, was obliterated, leaving us no choice but to freeze our Patagonia (our people) and halt time itself.
The elders assigned a mission to us, the group of seven sisters known as the Seven Sins and Seven Arch-Parasites.
Now, as we found ourselves stranded in a universe that bore no resemblance to our own, we were confronted with a world on the verge of descending into utter chaos.
The powers that had once flourished within the core of PyT now existed as mere remnants of their once formidable strength.
However, our mission remained resolute: to recover that which had been taken from us and to rouse our frozen brethren from their state of suspended animation.
We were spread out in different realms, each of us with the mission to uncover the mysteries of this unfamiliar world, locate a compatible vessel, amassing power, and devising a plan to revive our galaxy.
As I, Ishita, the personification of Lust, I had to swiftly adjust, mastering the customs of these alien territories and forming partnerships wherever possible.
The road ahead was dangerous, but the seven sisters were determined to shape a destiny that defied the stars trying to separate them. Each representing a sin, we possessed powers that, if used wisely, could change our fortunes. Our quest had just started, and the future of our people depended on our actions.
But once more, there is a constant rivalry between us. The one who secures a host and advances in levels will be the ruler of Galaxy PyT, as the elders have foretold.
Now I find myself in this realm known as 'Antibio Earth.'
Initially, there was no suitable host here; all of them were worthless and not worthy to be my host.
However, then there was this boy. Pathetic, really. He was not a suitable match for me. I discovered he was a late bloomer with no system in place.
I could see that he was experiencing emotions even more intense than the agony of death itself, and I could detect a burning desire within him for power, vengeance, and dominance.
It was this undeniable display of raw emotion that gave me pause and made me reconsider my decision to depart from the world of 'Antibio Earth'.
His name is Orion. Despite his pitiful state, there was a fire in his eyes that reflected my own determination. It was a risk, but one I was ready to embrace. This boy, with shattered dreams and intense desires, could be the ideal conduit for my power.
I observed him from the shadows, analyzing his actions closely. Society had rejected him, considering him unfit for the Chromo System, but he continued to fight with a determination that fascinated me. There was untapped potential within him, waiting to be unleashed.
As I watched him, I couldn't help but recognize a reflection of my own ambitions in his relentless pursuit of power, authority, and self-improvement. The allure of desire as a driving force for greatness has always been a potent and compelling motivator.
I chuckled to myself.
The pivotal moment arrived when he found himself at his absolute lowest, his body crippled and shattered.
As the heartless System User mercilessly mocked him, I observed the scene unfold before me with a mixture of amusement and intrigue.
Yes, he appeared feeble and vulnerable, a mere mortal in the face of adversity.
Yet, there was a fierce determination burning within his gaze, a spark of resilience that hinted at a hidden strength waiting to be unleashed.
At that moment, I realized that this was my secret weapon, my ace in the hole.
If I want to ascend to the throne as a Queen and bestow honor upon Galaxy PyT, it is imperative that I nurture and mold this young man into a figure of unparalleled allure and desire.
With his irresistible charm and magnetism, he will embody the very essence of Lust itself. Then I'll reign supreme over the six sins, with six Arch-Parasites bowing at my feet in reverence.
I shall help him conquer the hearts and minds of women across this world and within my sisterhood.
The journey to reclaim Galaxy PyT had started, and with Orion as my vessel, I aimed not just to rival my sisters but to outshine them. My time on Antibio Earth was only the start, and the world would soon witness the real essence of power, vengeance, and Lust.
"It's time"

{Initializing System Integration.}
Orion's pain began to recede, replaced by an unfamiliar warmth spreading through his veins. His vision, previously dimming, sharpened with a newfound clarity. The voice continued.
{System Activated. Welcome, Host Orion.}
Orion's eyes blinked in surprise as a voice reached his ears, causing him to be taken aback.
His astonishment ran deep as he began to inspect his own body, almost in disbelief.
He even resorted to pinching himself to confirm whether he was actually in a dream or not.
{You must select one sin that you believe aligns with your personality. Consider it a gift from my mother. Choose carefully..}
"What in the world is happening here? What kind of sin? Hold on a minute, could you possibly be my system?
"I was under the impression that I didn't have one, but now I'm starting to suspect that something is not quite right."
{Your answer will be provided, host. For now, you must select one of the seven sins.}
"Oh ok, what are they?"

"Hmm, I see this is hard to take in. I can just pick only one of them right?"
{Yes, only one host.}
"I see, I will go with Lust. Is there anything else I should be aware of?
{For now you just relax.}
'It's funny that you think I should just relax. If you knew the suffering I've endured, you wouldn't be so quick to tell me to relax.'
{Actually I can hear your every thought, host.}
"What?"
{The sin of lust is compatible with the host. Congratulations, host, on unlocking the Parasyte System.}
