What is this person saying?

System?

There is a system inside me?

No! In the first place, what the hell is system?

What system?

Which system?

What type of system?

"I know it's hard to understand, but I will make it less complicated"

"Please do"

Elena is still looking for me. I don't want to make her wait anymore.

"In simple words, you have a system inside you. Inside your body, which lets you do things normal humans can't"

"How...no, why is there a system inside me?"

"I don't know"

"And why do you know that there is a system inside me?"

"Because...umm, because I was informed about it"

"By whom?"

"Let's not go that deep. Listen to what I am saying. You have a system inside you"

"Tell me more!"

He is hung up on the system part.

"You have been unconsciously using your system"

"Using my system?"

"Yeah, not just in the game, but in the real world too"

"What exactly do you mean by using my system?"

"You have some strange skills and weird things happening in the game, right?"

"Ye...ah"

"That is your system's doing. As for the real world, have you noticed something strange?"

He said he is a friend, but there is no way I will trust him.

But...I need answers.

"I have"

"Like what?"

"Headaches"

"And?"

"Body pain"

"And?"

"My wounds"

"Your wounds?"

"They heal in an instant"

"Wow! Really?!"

He didn't know?!

"Yeah, but it depends on the wounds"

"Hmm, I see"

"Is it also my system's doing?" 

"Yeah, everything, every strange thing that's happening to you is done by your system" 

"What else do you know? And how is my system doing it? What type of system is this?"

"I don't know anything else, and your system is reacting according to you"

"...."

"As for what kind of system, as a fellow person who once had a system inside himself, I will tell you some things about how the system works"

"You also had a system inside you?"

"I once had. Not anymore. But let's not talk about that"

"Hmm"

"So, there are two types of systems"

"Two types?"

"External system, and internal system"

"External and internal"

"External system means, a chip planted into your brain or any part of the body, which lets you do the things that normal humans can't"

"Makes sense by the name"

"And internal system means, a system inside the body"

"....."

"Looks like you didn't understand. Let me explain it in a less complicated way"

"You keep saying that"

"I know, right? I always get that comment. So the internal system is a program, a system inside a human body. For example, a phone or any device, they have a system inside them, right?"

"Yeah"

"Just like that, a system inside a human body, which lets them do things normal humans can't. Breaking all the limitations of a human body"

"How is the internal system inserted in the human body?"

"There is no way"

"Huh?"

"It's impossible"

"So I have an external system inside me. I don't know anything--"

"No, no. You have an internal system inside your body"

"But you said it's impossible to----"

"It is impossible, but some have it. As for why and how, no one knows"

"But..."

How is it possible?

There is a system inside me?

It's my first time hearing it.

In the first place, should I believe him?

What if he is an enemy?

"I know it's a lot to take in, but it's the truth"

"You haven't told me how you know about it"

"Someone told me, and I researched about you. Ask me any questions if you have any. I have some more time"

"What to do with this system? And you said some people have it. Does that mean there are others like me?"

"There should be. I personally have met some"

"What to do with this system?"

Sigh~~

"I guess I should tell you everything. Listen carefully, Das, I am going to tell you something important"

"I am listening"

"Those who have an internal system inside them die early"

"Huh?!"

"You will die in two to three years"

"Wait, what do you mean by die? How can--"

"A system...an internal system eats your life force to run"

"But I--"

"Let me finish!"

"..."

"You have two options. Use your system, or don't use it"

"What will happen if I choose either of them?"

"If you decide to use your system, then you will surely die"

"And if I don't use it?"

"Then also you will die. There is no escaping death"

"I never asked for this! I don't want any system!"

"Your system is different from many systems I have seen so far"

"Huh?"

"Your system is alive"

"What?!"

"It doesn't have its own consciousness, but it reacts to yours"

"How is it different from others?"

"Your system is 100% compatible with your body. Maybe you can live longer? Maybe you can't?"

"What if I want to remove my system?"

"Removing an external system is possible, but removing an internal system. It's impossible"

"No way! There might be a way to remove it"

"There is. There is a way, but as soon as your system is removed from your body, you will die"

What the hell?!!

"But you said you once had a system inside you"

"Yeah. I once had a system inside me"

"Had...that means you removed it, right?"

"I didn't"

"But--"

"My system was corrupted"

"Corrupted?"

"Do you know what happens when your system gets corrupted?"

"What happens?"

"It messes up your body"

"..."

"It was different in my case. I was going to die anyway"

"Die..."

Sigh~~

"I am already dead"

"Huh?"

"You are talking with a dead person"

"How is that possible---you are like Rias?!"

"Rias. You know her?"

"Not exactly, but I have talked to her before"

"I am the one who saved her eight years ago"

Saved?

Who is he?

He knows everything about me, and...he talks like...

"Are...are you that person who Rias and the developer were talking about?"

"....."

"Are you that savior who saved everyone from the VR tragedy 30 years ago"

He was staring at me while smiling.

His black hair changed into red and his black eyes to blue as he said, "That's right. I am that person"
