Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 43 - Seresa's

Right now I was sitting quietly on my bed staring at the screen displaying my data seriously.

“So, who are you?”

I speak for myself? Am I crazy? I know that I'm crazy. But being called like that many times is very painful so please stop.

Just so you know, I'm not talking to myself. I'm talking to something that looks like AI, at least I think so.

I heard a voice coming straight to my mind.

I originally thought that the voice might be a ghost or a disembodied soul, but I changed my mind after seeing the hologram screen in front of me once again. It must be AI, I'm sure of it.

Mama might be pranking me.

Well, there's actually another hypothesis about what the sound is, but I don't dare to think about it because it's hard to believe.

[Answer: I am your system, sir ]

Shit, he said something I didn't want to believe.

That is, I did think that he was a system, but I wouldn't believe him. It's hard to believe it.

What is a system? Didn't know?

Based on my experience of novels, the system is a help given to improve abilities. There we have to go on a mission to become stronger. It is like a game that enslaves (pushes) its users to become stronger.

That's not a bad thing I said, oh I don't mean the “ section enslaves”. It was a good thing that the system could make me “become stronger”.

“System? It's nonsense. Something like that only exists in novels. I can't believe that I got something like that.”

[ … ]

No response from the system.

As I thought, he might freeze with my denial.

Then why am I so denying it?

It's not that I deny it, it's the opposite. I wish such a thing really existed and came to me. But it's not possible.

And if that is possible, there must be a cause and effect that drives it..

“Alright I'll ask you about something else. What was the function of the mysterious cube before? Is it just to save you?”

“Jawab : Question sir inaccessible, answer is on system level 9. The host must upgrade the system to level 9 first to access it.”

“I was expecting it to be like this.”

I said slowly.

Well, I know it's not easy to access the system's secrets so I expected it, but I didn't give up.

After the first question, I asked about other things that are sensitive in nature, such as who is the creator, whether he is a hologram in the void, and so on. But I gave up after he kept saying the same answer.

“So what's my system level right now?”

I said in a weak tone.

Well, this means I do accept the existence of the system. Anyway I can't do anything to him.

After all, he was something my parents researched. And my parents couldn't possibly give me anything that could harm me.

Besides, I'm also a little curious about this system. I don't think it's wrong to level up the system.

[Answer: The current master system is Level 0]

“Is there anything like it? Shouldn't I be at least level 1?"

[Jawab: That's because master has never fought Eternite before. You have not completed the mission.]

“Begukah. Meaning that I can increase my level by defeating Eternite and running missions?”

[ Answer: Yes.]

“Good. But is that all?”

I don't think that my system can just do that. There must be something like a gift or perhaps a store, something like that.

And sure enough, after I said, I got a notice that gave information regarding the system.

The first system consists of 4 points. Status, Shop, Mission, and Room.

Status contains my data, starting from name, power, item, and harem? Why is there something like that? Does the system also know about my intention to make a harem? Not likely.

……

[System: Level 0/10]

[ Point :0 ]

[ Name: Akaasa Riru (???)  ]

[Main Energy: Chaos (sealed), Space Energy, Darkness, Light (not yet complete) ]

[ Power : A ]

[ Total Energy : A/EX+ (sealed) ]

[ Experience: 0/100]

Weapons and artifacts :

[The Black Void Sword]

Harem (locked)

……

That question mark bothers me. What was my identity before? The system knows about that too.

If I ask him, I think my level is still not enough. Well, that means I have to upgrade my system to level 10 so I can know all the secrets.

Let's continue on to something else.

For energy. I already knew that my light energy was still incomplete. But what am I supposed to do? Do I have to kiss Maya first in order to use her? Ha ha is impossible right? Well, we'll think about it later.

For my strength. I think I'm at level A. I think this is the whole level. His judgment was probably the same as that of the ETER Union or the Kuro Family. But I guess his judgment could develop in the future, after all I am still level 0. It's possible that in the future I can see HP, Defense, etc.

Well it's possible, because I didn't expect much.

For MP, it relates the amount of energy I have. And as I said before, my energy is still sealed. But what's with the + sign? Am I an anomaly even among the owners of infinite energy? Well, I don't know for now.

For experience, I think it's to improve the system. When it reaches 100/100 my system level will increase.

……

I explored the system further and saw some descriptions. After that nothing interesting. After all, I couldn't access the other features because it was locked.

Really, I can only sigh.

“It may be late, but what's your name?”

[Answer: The system has no name.]

“It will be troublesome.”

I thought for a moment and then said again.

“Alright I'll give you a name. What about Seresa? I'll call you Seres. I don't know why I think that name suits you. Uh, and your voice. It was a bit monotonous, can you change it. Oh right, I know, what if the voice of a good wife, it will be suitable to be heard every day.”

Well, I was just kidding. I thought she was just Ai, so I guess her voice might have been pre-programmed so-so

“As you want, dear.”

The system spoke softly before I even had time to finish my mind.

And I froze with his voice.

He... no... that voice.... Where? Where have I heard of it? My heart skipped a beat, my heart ached, and I couldn't think clearly.

[ Um? Is something wrong, dear? Am I overreacting? Should I call you master? ]

“Ah, uh, not that, it's just. Sorry I was a little dreamy. And yes, call me sir. I feel a little weird about that call.”

[Alright, sir. ]

……

A few minutes later after I calmed down.

“Alright Seres, give me a mission to raise my level. Uncomfortable to be at level 0 continue.”

After I said,

I looked at the mission column in front of me and I just said, “Hah?”
