BXBX NOVEL Chapter 51 - Guidance System
[Why are you in a hurry? I'm not going anywhere. I mean, after all, I am in you.]
As soon as he called out the system a slightly irritated voice resonated in his mind. Joon-won wondered where this system got its attitude from after hearing it.
[What? Do you have a problem if I have an attitude? I'm not like those cheap prototype systems which are mechanical slaves to their owners and only have basic functions to make their owners stupidly strong. I got none of the stupid features. And don't think you can hide anything from me. I can even read your thoughts.]
Hearing a sneer from the system and its dissing other systems was weird for Joon-won. He didn't even know what this so-called system was and now it was talking about other systems.
"Well then tell me about yourself. What are you? And why are you inside my head? Is this black magic?" He thought it was black and forbidden magic from his old world and was concerned but also puzzled because he thought magic couldn't exist in this world.
[Well, my name is Guidance System. My primary task or you could say my feature is to guide my user which is you. I give out suggestions and show you the path you can take when you are puzzled. I'm mainly here for you to reach your goal which is obviously becoming a famous actor by your memories.]
Joon-won finally understood what it was after its basic introduction. This system was there inside him to guide him towards his goal by giving suggestions. This was something valuable once he thought about it. He was in a new world and knew nothing about it. Something like the guidance system was good and helpful in his journey, which was bound to be shaky for him.
"Well now for the rest of my questions, How did you get inside my brain? And what do you mean by other systems? Does that mean there are other people out there with systems too?"
[How did I get inside your brain? Hmm, it might have been a god who granted that soul's wish to give you a good life after you died. Yeah, it was that woman's soul. When God asked her if she wanted to reincarnate she chose to give you a system and a chance to live the life you always wanted instead of herself living another life.]
"Woman? What woman?"
[Your wife. What was her name again? Zen..]
"Zen Quin. She did that? But why?" Joon-won sat in a daze as he heard the system tell him how he got the system. It was his wife. She chose to give him this power and life instead of using it to live another life.
[Hey, what are you getting so emotional about? Knowing God, he might have reincarnated anyway. So who knows, she might be in this world?]
"What? Where? How can I find her?" He instantly woke up with hope in his eyes. He wanted to meet his wife, the wife he understood and loved too late. He if had a chance he would give everything he had to her.
[Woah! Don't get too hyped. I only said there was a chance, it's not certain. Who knows if your wife even knows all her past memories to remember you? So leave it up to fate and who knows if you are lucky you might meet her.]
This instantly popped all the energy he had as he laid on the couch.
[Well, now that this all is out of the way, let's continue with your questions. There are other 'systems' but are mostly prototypes that were made for god's amusement. All of them were a failure not giving god any entertainment because their users would become too powerful and dumb. So I am a complete product. Those were simple brainless systems, while I am different. I learn from your surroundings and improve myself. That's also why I have these emotions. I was waiting for you to complete the hidden mission and got bored. So I observed and learned more about humans.] It responded with some pride.
[Now about other system users. Hmm, there shouldn't be any other users in this world. It's a pretty basic world with no power in it. So it wouldn't handle another system user. There are limits to worlds,- after all. If it was your old world, there would have been many because its limit is more.]
Joon-won felt a bit relieved when he heard that and digested all the information he just received from the system. The system seemed like a human living inside of him, it has characteristics of human feelings like irritation and pride too.
"Now the main question, do you really read my thoughts and stuff? Because if you can, I might like to turn off that feature." He felt really uncomfortable that this system could read his thoughts, too. He didn't like someone else even if it was the system to know what he is even thinking about.
[Hahaha, of course not. I can not believe you actually thought I could. Of Course, I can not. I only predicted what your reaction and thoughts might be and answered them. I mean I did see a lot of reactions when the prototypes were used. So it's easy to guess. God didn't make me be a stalker and creep you out.]
Joon-won instantly felt relieved when he heard its answer. He felt as if he was free again. He leaned back and didn't talk for a while. He was thinking about how the past week was, from being reborn to getting to act again to gaining a system. It was a rollercoaster ride.
He grinned slightly and asked, "So now, system, what next? Do you have any suggestions for me?"
