Another meeting with System
I am currently sleeping. My body is at least. Because I am somewhere else. System said that she will meet me tonight. So I thought I would be at the same place as before.
The darkness as thick as a carpet and the black space. Without any light except for System. But that wasn't the case.
I am in a white space. It's white but not white. It has a weird feeling. But I alone am standing here. Where is System?
"You are here, Clive."
I hear a voice. It isn't like before. Before her voice was cold. I could literally feel the cold from her voice. However this is the opposite.
Her voice isn't cold. It has a gentle warmth to it. And it came from behind so I turn backwards to find a girl.
Silver hair, white skin, ruby eyes and a petite figure, she is an inhuman beauty who should not go out into the mortal world. But I sense that she has a different air around her this time.
"Umm…. I do think you have changed a bit. Was your hair always like that or you changed it?"
"That's what I like about you. You are pretty attentive. Even when you were barely capable of looking at me, you took a good look and now you are pointing out my changes as well." (System)
"Wait, how did we talk? Last time, I couldn't even speak."
"It has been some time since our last direct meeting. You have grown even stronger than before so we can speak now." (System)
"Then, can I know your name?"
"It's still too early for that." (System)
She turned the other way. But looking at her now, she is just like a cute doll. A doll which you would carry with you and care for all the time. Even her dress is full of frills and the color is kind of white but it's not. Sorry, I don't know much about colors.
"Take a seat, Clive."
A sofa appeared behind me and I took a seat. I was thinking where she would sit but that was answered soon.
She readily sat on my lap like it was always her spot. Only Hazel and Eden used to sit there.
"You sure didn't hesitate."
"You are always letting Hazel sit here so why can't I?" (System)
"Ok. Don't pout. You can sit here or anyone can if they want."
I have no problem if someone sits on my lap. But that isn't what I should say.
"System, what should I do next?"
"Ahh….your current goal has been achieved. Your ultimate goal, do you remember what you said?" (System)
"Peace and quiet."
"Yes. However you are treading a risky path. Because you have successfully become a harbinger." (System)
"Ah…that's something I would like to know as well. What is a harbinger?"
I know the meaning of harbinger but what does that mean to me?
"There are many forces at work. Mostly life and death. But natural elements have their own minds as well. The ones who watch over those are harbingers. You are now the harbinger of death. Meaning, you are in control of death." (System)
"I can control death? That is weird. Then what is
"As the name says, it is what is says. You are using the
"You said so many outrageous things that I don't know how to retort. Anyway, I am death. I guess I became something bad."
"No. Death is not bad. To create life, you need death. To remove death, you need life. It is a cycle which follows the rules made by the supreme one." (System)
"This is getting tedious. Currently I am a normal human. Tell me what should I do?"
I get impatient. Probably it still hasn't sunk it. The reality and weight of this power.
"In that case, you don't have to do anything. Jupiter will come finding you anyway. Just beat him to a pulp and move on to heaven. You will find the doorway to the higher realm in heaven." (System)
"Thanks. I will wake up now."
System jumped up from my lap and I get up.
"Clive, remember one thing, in the end I alone will be here for you." (System)
"Quite the bold statement."
"Because you yourself will isolate yourself. So both of us are going to be together forever. That's the contract we signed." (System)
A contract? What contract? I can't remember but before I could ask her, I was evicted.
She is still keeping things from me. And yet I can't see myself going against her. Am I totally in her control?
I wake up thinking that. Let's just sit back and wait for Jupiter to make his move.
