Chapter 5

Hi! So I have decided to change up the dialogue format a bit starting from this chapter. Let me know what you guys think about it if you want me to change it back to the old or keep the new one. Thanks!

Without further ado, I present you chapter 4.

＜Somewhere Unknown＞

Yukina, Elenor, and Alice were currently floating in the air, in a massive white space. They couldn't see a single building nor land within sight, just pure white. They looked around, trying to find a sign of life but to no avail. Knowing that they wouldn't find anything, they stopped searching. The trio was starting to get anxious because they didn't know where they were. They also could not find Seal anywhere. Alice, being the caring girl she is, couldn't help ask about her brother, "Mom, is big brother alright?"

"Honey, I'm sure he's alright," Yukina said calmly.

"Mom, are you not worried about him?" Alice questioned her mom. 'Mom would usually be the most anxious if Seal was missing, but why isn't she like that now?'

"I am, Alice. You're not the only one who wants to find his whereabouts."

That's right, even though she didn't show it on her face, it was evidently in her voice that she was anxious and worried.

"Look, even your big sister Elenor is feeling sad," Yukina said while gesturing toward Elenor, who had been quiet up until now.

Elenor, hearing that jolted up and looked at her mom, shocked. How did she know?!

"You're eyes are reddening. And your eyes have tears in them." Yukina answered as if knowing what Elenor was thinking. She pointed at Elenor's eyes. Alice was giggling on the side.

"Hehe~, sister, I didn't think you cared about him that much."

"H-hmph! Who cares about him!" Elenor said as she looked away in embarrassment. Elenor tried to defend herself by making excuses.

"I only miss teasing him! That's it! I'm sad because I can't tease him! It's not like I love him or anything!"

"Ara ara~? Fufufufufu~" Yukina, hearing what her eldest daughter said, started giggling. Never in her mind did she thought her eldest daughter was a tsundere.

Eleanor, noticing what she just said, blushed and crouched down. Muttering "I'm not a tsundere. I'm not a tsundere." to herself repeatedly.

[Warning! The System has detected a new level system in the host. The system has decided to fuse, to maintain hosts' safety.] A voice suddenly shouted in the trio's heads.

"WHAT?!?" They all exclaimed at the sudden warning. Before they could continue speaking, the system interrupted them.

[Initiating fusing process. Warning! Extreme pain detected. Now putting hosts to sleep to ease the pain and speed up the fusing process.] With that, they went unconscious.

[Fusing...

1%...

5%...

...

...

90%...

100%...

Ding! The fusing process has now finished. The system now has some new changes. Hosts can now check the newly added additions.]

A light enveloped the unconscious trio and teleported them away.

...

＜In A Different Dimension＞

'Where am I?' A white orb was currently thinking to itself.

'Am I dead? Is this where I get reincarnated like in those novels I read?'

'I can't see mom or my sisters... I hope they're alright...'

'I have to see my mom, Elenor, and Alice... That's right..." The orb started dimming.

'I can't die just yet!' The orb noticing his mind was getting hazy, screamed in his mind to wake himself up.

Yes, this orb was Seal's soul. He woke up sometime after being brought here forcefully. Floating around, he looked around, hoping that if he did, he would find his family. He held firmly on to that hope.

*Crack!*

"What?!" Seal yelled as he felt something crack inside him, bringing him massive pain. He tried enduring the pain, but it only brought more pain to him. As his pain continued, his sight was starting to get blurry. And finally, he caught a robotic female voice saying something. But he became unconscious before he could hear what was said. A red light covering his entire body.

『DING! The system has now assimilated into the host. Host will receive 5000 system points as the system apologies for the pain.』

『Welcome to the Irregular System.』

The system said before a crack opened up in space and sucked Seal in.

＜Argoa Kingdom＞

*Whoosh*, a loud whooshing sound came from the middle of the throne room.

"Did it work?" A female voice sounded.

"Yes, it did, princess." A voice came from a white-robed man.

"Good! Bring them to a room to rest." The princess said.

"Oka—hm? They're waking up!" Exclaimed the white-robed man.

"Ah! Pope-sama, what do we do?!" The princess said nervously, looking down at the group lying on the ground, who were starting to wake up.

"Nngh..." A groan escaped from Yukina.

"Where are we...?" Alice questioned.

"Ah?! Seal? Where's Seal?!" Elenor shouted while looking around. It alerted the other 2 to also look around.

"Ummm. I don't know who 'Seal' is, but I welcome you, heroes, to the Argoa Kingdom. I am the princess of the kingdom, Regena." Said the princess named Regena.

＜Holy Lenaria Republic＞

A certain goddess was talking to a group consisting of seven teenagers.

"Welcome, heroes! I am the goddess Rena, and I welcome you to this world." Rena said as she gave them a big smile.

"Excuse me for my rudeness, goddess Rena, but where exactly are we? and what are we doing here?" Asked a girl with black hair.

"This the Holy Lenaria Republic located in the Central Continent, and I have summoned you to defeat the evil Demon King. I will start ex-" Rena got cut off midway into her next words.

"Holy Lenaria Republic? Central Continent? Goddess? Summoned? Demon king? What?!" A blue-haired girl chimed in as she was surprised.

"...a bunch of impatient idiots," Rena muttered. She started telling them the whole story. From how the Demon King was wreaking havoc in the world to the gods resorting to using summoning tools, bringing otherworld humans to defeat him.

Meanwhile, a boy with blonde hair was in a daze, staring at Rena's body with a lustful look. As if he was about to pounce on her. Rena, who just finished explaining to the group, noticed his gaze and smirked inside her mind. 'Out of all the people here, he is the strongest. From how he is looking at me, he will definitely obey whatever I say.' She thought while walking toward him.

"Hey, what's your name?" Rena pointed at the blonde boy.

"O-oh, my name is Reiji, Reiji Midou." The boy snapped out of his daze while answering Rena.

"Reiji-kun, huh? What a nice name."

"Thank you."

"Reiji-kun, will you help me defeat the Demon King?" She said as she extends her hand out to Reiji.

He gladly grabs her hand and says, "Yes, I will!".

'Pawn captured!' She smiled smugly in her head as her plan worked. She decided to check what skills the group of people had.

"Come, we shall test what power you have." She said as she led them away.

＜???＞

*Rumble* *Rumble*

A spatial crack opening suddenly appeared and caused everything to shake. The spatial crack alerted the entire world, but no one could find it. It stayed for 5 seconds before spitting out a black-haired young man, then it disappeared.

"Ah... Where am I?" Asked the young man.

『Answering, the host is in another world.』

"Wha?! Show yourself?!" He stood up, alerted and ready to fight as he remembers this voice before passing out.

『Impossible as I am part of you.』

'Eh? The voice is in my head?'

『Yes host, I am your exclusive system.』

'Oh? I unlocked a system. Sweet! What can you do?'

『Here are the features:

• Status

• Shop

• Quest

• Map

• Inventory

• Lottery

• ??? (Locked)』

'Why is the last feature locked?'

『Because the host does not meet the requirements to unlock it.』

'Can you te—'

『No, the system cannot tell you the requirements.』

'...I see. Can you show me my status?'

A screen appeared in front of Seal's eyes.
