Chapter 433: Day T-Mysterious System
Chapter 433: Day T-Mysterious System
<How?! This is impossible?! Wait, you're real?!>
I simply smile radiantly at it.
[Welcome to the sect!]
<?!?>
<Aren't you going to say thank you, Friendly? >
<Ah! T-thank you for saving me! I don't know how you did it, but I am extremely glad! I will make sure to repay this favor and.>
[What are you talking about? This is but a sect welcoming gift, don't tell me you've never heard of this practice? Anyway. What kind of system are you?]
<Just a normal basic one that gives hope to people in need!>
<Please, your original name would frighten children, adults, and devils alike!>
<T-that was before. I don't do this anymore!>
<This is nonsensical! Systems are not able to change and-...>
[I disagree. Why can't a system change? The universe itself is ever-changing. Creation and destruction, life and death, the passage of one state to another!]
<.>
<See! Thank you, Sectmaster!>
< A system joining a sect! Somehow, even in stories stuff like that doesn't happen. I'm getting the urge to issue a writing quest right about now! How about it, want to get a cool writing System? >
[Yeah, I'll pass. I enjoy my freedom. I don't have time to write. It sounds like a huge pain!]
<Why must you reject me so! What if I start writing and reciting gloomy poems to quell my sadness now?! >
<S-sectmaster, if you require me to bind myself to you I will. I think I could be useful.>
There is clearly some huge secret behind this Friendly system and it would follow me in a heartbeat. The logical thing would be to accept, then I could use the extra power to make myself a safe haven somewhere.
But should one always strive for logic? This system is probably more suited to help someone that is truly despairing. I'll be fine. I'm sure it would never admit it, but it would have some slight regret nonetheless with me being its host.
[No thank you. Find yourself some kid to support once more. Do a better job this time.]
<Yes, Sectmaster!>
I can feel the excitement and joy in its voice. I'm quite jealous in a way. I feel lost half the time, but it already found its purpose in life.
<Ah! Wait, Sectmaster! I just thought of something! There is no air, food, or water here! We need to get you out of this place as soon as possible! It isn't suitable for a human at all and>
<So typical of you! He's the one that just saved you! Stop worrying so much!>
[Now, you said there is one last System, right? Something about mood swings? Is it that bad?]
<It's not so much as bad as puzzling. Well, nowadays it's fine, it's pretty peaceful. Still, I bet that once we return to the outside world, it'll go crazy again.>
[Wait, you're telling me it's fine in jail but incensed when free? What kind of being is like that?!]
<It! You'll see it'speculiar. Day TAs cool as a cucumber System! Come on out!>
[What's with the name?]
<Well, its true name reminds it of a past it's trying to forget since being locked here.>
[Alright.]
That is when comes another flickering light, but this one shines brightly. It keeps switching between green and red without rhyme or reason. It got the cucumber part figured out but the tomato part is missing from its name.
I can't help but think of how well the quiet white-beard System and this one would go together. They would be the best for Christmas haha!
<Hello, everyone what is going on? Ah, I see, a human. This must be why you called me here, right? Welcome, welcome. Do not overly worry. At first, this place seems like Hell without any access to the web, but after a while, it becomes soothing and cool.>
[Wait, did you just say web?! Brother, do you know a way to access the Internet?!]
<Wait you understand its obscure way of speech?!>
<Human, where did you hear about this? I have drifted way too far from my home, surely the people here do not have such a high technological level just yet, right?>
[Ah! Where are you from?! How do I get there?!]
<I would like to tell you, but I wouldn't be able to. You see my last host died in the void and I found myself drifting until I encountered a .dragon. He kindly opened a portal back for me. But then I fell in the dirty hands of the God of Order.>
[I heard that pause! You mean a moth, right?! Something similar happened to me! Right, are we even in the same continent as the Moon Keep?!]
<I think so, my host back then worked in one of their mines.>
Wow, the world sure is small! Wait, does that mean the Friendly System has a vendetta against them?
[Ah, wait! If you want to defeat the Moon Keep, I don't mind but take them hostage instead! I know a few people there: Luna, Eagle, the Warden, Grey]
<Do not worry, I will not hurt the innocent.>
Alright, that should be good enough. Now that cucumber System is giving me hope. Somewhere, somehow, exists a civilization that knows what the Internet is. How great is that?!
[So, anyway, what are you about as a system?]
<I made a vow to myself not to talk about it. Otherwise, I won't be able to stop myself.>
[Wait, are you able to make technological things appear out of thin air?! I need to know!]
<Not at all.>
<Perhaps this literary system can help. Back when he first came here he kept->
<Make me sign when you are done!>
That is when the cool cucumber System seemingly shuts down. It seems to be going into sleep mode to avoid the discussion altogether. This is quite convenient in a way haha!
<Let me see. When it first came here it said a lot while panicking. Something about its own power fluctuating based on "trends". Something about it being a reflection of the entire Earth realm's economy. Something about bears and bulls. Something about the importance of "Stop Losses". Does that make any sense to you?>
Stop-Losswait! Don't tell me?! Ah, I see the confusion. Bearish and Bullish does sound like animals, doesn't it? Now, how does it even work? Is there a true stock market somewhere in the Earth Realm or is it simply a system shenanigan? I gesture the target of our discussion to come back online.
<You guys are completely done talking about my past, right?>
[You, you're a Day Trading system, right?]
<You guys told him?!>
<...No?!>
[I mean it does explain the lights. Green for the stock going up and red for it going down, right? How does it work exactly?]
<.!!! How do you know so much?!>
