[Welcome to the Gacha God Sys-Wait, wait wait, M-master master, sto–]
"Disgusting parasites." Ever since he fuse with soulium gaining access to Honkai energy, these parasitic things that call themselves systems or whatever started to appear.
They'd show this message on some kind of personal holo panel while it would try to leach into his soul. At first it was annoying to hear constantly, but over time he began to derive joy from watching the parasites try this and slowly and from what he can tell, painfully erased from existence.
It always happened the moment he woke up so it was a joy to see in the morning, a perfect thing to start his day… That was sarcasm. After his nights with Elysia and Eden, why would he like to see this and not their beautiful faces in the morning.

Chapter Start -
A White Space
Aurora and Alter were sitting opposite each other.
Alter was laying on a body pillow of Thor she recreated from all the times she hugged him. It wasn't perfect, but it was enough for now.
Aurora on the other hand, was the exact same, but instead of Alters laying on a body pillow, Aurora was even cuddling it.
She was still recovering from the shock of yesterday with Eden's bomb drop on her and Thor. The two of them are now fucking, and she wasn't…
'What am I thinking, I'm not like that right?' She glanced at Alter who was sipping on a smoothie Thor had made for her once. ' She's influencing me too much.'
Alter had already reprimanded her for her naive thinking. Now? Aurora was dead set on being next. She might be naive, but she's not blind. She could see Vill and Himeko's looks. Vill was pretty open about it, Himeko was more subtle and reserved, but Alter just said that's because she's the freakiest in bed. "It's always the quiet ones that are the most perverted in bed."
For some reason Alter also looked at her with a teasing smile when saying that. She couldn't guess why though.
"Aura?" Alter noticed Aurora's gaze on her.
"N-nothing."
Alter frowned and sat up. "Are you seriously still thinking about it?"
"Mmm" She nodded, twiddling her thumbs.
"Ugh, why? If it bothers you that much, just go up to him and push him down and ride him till you can't." She took another sip.
"I'm sure he won't mind." She paused as her lips curled up into a grin. "He wouldn't indulge in punishing you in training otherwise."
Aurora turned red as sparks appeared around her.
"Aww, what's wrong Aura? Did you really think he wouldn't notice?" Aurora was silent.
Alter slammed her hand down on the pillow. "Wait, seriously!? God…
Seriously Aura, did you even hear yourself? Oh wait probably not with all the moans you let o–"
–Crackle–
Alter vanished and reconstructed herself a few metres away.
"What the hell?!" Aurora had charged at her previous position, decimating the sofa and the pillow. She even lost her smoothie.
Aurora said nothing but glanced at her, her face was red and she was trembling."
Alter took a second but with an "Ohhh." It came to her and she started to laugh at Aura's embarrassment before she dodged another attack, this time it was a beam of plasma.
"Hahaha! Come now Aura, if that's how you want to play it." Alter covered herself in lightning and enhanced herself as much as possible.
Two near Identical twins faced off against one another. One in angry embarrassment, the other playful and teasing.
"Then let's play!" Alter pushed off a trail of purple behind her.
Aurora did the same, both breaking the sound barriers as multiple sonic booms followed.
"Haaaah" Aurora thrust her fist covered in a plasma coating forward meeting Alter's head-on causing a massive explosion to occur.

Einstein's lab
"Tell me about yourself." Thor said, once again playing solitaire. It's the only game they have on these systems anyway.
"It's not like you don't already know," Einstein replied, rearranging beakers by height, color gradient, and threat level. "You probably downloaded my life story."
"Haha" Thor chuckled. "Yeah I might, but I want to hear it fro–" His fingers froze. "Wait. Wait."
Click. Click-click.
"FUCK YES. Suck it, Solitaire. You thought you could softlock me again, you petty digital bastard."
Einstein blinked, slow and unimpressed. "Truly, we are witnessing genius."
Thor puffed out his chest. "You're damn right. Now c'mon, don't dodge the question."
Sigh. She sighed before starting. "Short version or the shorter version?"
"Short version"
"Born 8 years before the 2nd eruption, I lived my life like any kid, I just so happened to be smart, good at math, sciences and mechanical engineering…"
Thor sat there and listened, watching her every microexpression. He wanted to know how to treat this woman and new colleague . Depending on how she acts while doing this retelling, will tell him all he needs.
"When I was 8 my parents took me on a trip to Europe. Poland specifically for the holiday's. Worst trip of my life.
Turns out the 2nd Herrscher awakened in the very same city we were staying. People died, chaos ensued and while Moth did arrive. My parents were already claimed by the collapsing building. I only survived because Moth found me in search and rescue when the Herrscher was dealt with." She curled her fists, almost gritting her teeth.
"Since then I dedicated myself to the pursuit of science and fighting the Honkai when I was old enough to know. Blanca, Director Mobius's assistant at the time, found me and recruited me into Moth, since then I worked up to becoming the 3rd director to now." Once she finished Thor stood up and ruffled her hair before putting some of his now signature noodles in front of her.
(A/N: I don't know and doubt there is any lore on her so I just made this up, not really important, but it's better that she has something than not)
Her profile did say she liked noodles. 'What is it with these Director's and noodles?' He thought.
She gazed up confused at him but he just smiled and left while a note appeared in front of her with a little confetti.
"Welcome to Moth.
P.S Give the noodles a try, I heard you like them."
All that remained was a blue-haired scientist gorging herself on the best noodles she had ever tasted.

Next Day
Thor was walking through the courtyard, he had got a notification that someone had been entering here the past week. He didn't do anything as he sensed they were just a normal human exploring.
Today however he decided to meet this person. Who he saw surprised him. She was just a kid. A young girl that had pale skin, pink hair and red highlights, and blue eyes. She wore a white polo, pink suspenders, a pink plaid skirt, and an eggplant colored sash.
She seemed to be enjoying the nature around that bench. He had this bench set up for him and Elysia, but it seems someone else can appreciate it.
Sitting down next to the girl she doesn't even seem to notice him so the two just sit in silence until she opens her eyes that immediately widened as someone appeared next to her.
"W-What?!" She jumps back almost falling back off the bench but Thor uses telekinesis to stop her.
"Careful kid." He pulled her back up straight as she stiffened.
"What're you doing here? Are you with family or something?"
"Mm. My sister transferred here."
'So her sister is part of the 1st institute or maybe Cocoon.' Looking back down at her, he notices her nervous twiddling.
"Did you know this place is off-limits to most?" She froze.
"Now don't worry, you didn't know, besides, you seem to appreciate the view as well so I'll make an exception for you okay?" He patted her head, reassuring her.
She squinted but then looked up at him. "Are you sure mister? I don't want to make an–"
"It's fine, don't worry about your sister, this won't cause any issues."
Once she heard that she went back to enjoying the head patting. Seconds later she said. "I'm Rin mister."
"Thorald, but call me Thor, I prefer that." She stiffened once more. 'Jeez, what is it with this girl and freezing up constantly?'
"O-o-overseer Thorald Arwansson?!" She stammered.
"And? Don't worry about it. It's just a title after all."
She was silent for a minute, her brain trying to process what was happening, but the head patting washed all her worries away and she just shrugged and continued to enjoy it.
'Cute, I'd adopt her if I could… What if I adopt her and her sister?'
Later Rin suddenly jumped up realising that she was going to be late. Her sister will start to worry if she is.
She turned to Thor and said goodbye then ran off leaving Thor to himself.

–Click–
Rin opens the door slowly hoping her sister isn't back yet.
'Phew, the lights are off.' Still cautious she tiptoes to her room and shuts the door.
She let out a sigh.
–Click–
The lights in her room turn on, briefly blinding her. She looks to the corner to see her sister. She wore a pink and white dress, and a pair of pink and black headphones. She even had her Katana sheathed on her lap.
"Hiiiii" Rin shivered, her sister's face wasn't happy.
"Rin. Do you want to tell me why you're late? Maybe you want to tell me why you were sneaking about the room?" Her sister said eyes closed as her face remained neutral.
But Rin knew she wasn't, she was angry so she quickly tried to explain herself. "Sakura, Sister. My favourite person in the world, your back." She tried and failed to soften Sakura up.
All that happened was Sakura opened her eyes giving her a reprimanding gaze.
"I-uh" 'Quick Rin think, If you don't there'll be no deserts for weeks.' While she was thinking Sakura just sighed, relieved that whatever she's hiding from isn't anything she'd consider bad…Right?
"Oh!" Rin got something. "I made a friend." 'Yes, friend, Mr Thor is my friend right?' She didn't even fully believe her own words, and her sister certainly didn't.
"Really? Tell me Rin, who might this 'Friend' of yours be?" Sakura had already decided that if Rin lies (Which she believes to be the case), she'll ban Rin from any snacks for a week, not deserts this time.
"Mr Thor." Rin stated confidently, unaware of how ridiculous that sounded to Sakura.
She raised a brow. "Mr Thor? As in Thorald Arwansson? The Overseer?"
"Mm, Yes. Yes, him, I met him earlier, he even gave me headpats." Rin nodded quickly hoping that Sakura will just take that and she can get into bed.
"Oh. And what did he say?" Sakura was still suspicious, the only thing that's even minorly convincing is that she said he gave her headpats. Something Sakura has been guilty of doing whenever Rin becomes too cute.
"He told me to call him Thor and not Thorald as he prefers it that way." Rin then quickly jumped into the bed and threw the duvet over herself, searching for the TV remote.
Sakura thought her words, 'The rumors do say that he prefers that. But Rin wouldn't know that anyway, she's too ditzy to listen in like that.' Sakura glanced at Rin who was playing around with the remote trying to find something to watch. A relatable struggle she's experienced.
Letting her off Sakura stands and walks over to Rin giving her a peck on the forehead. Rin giggles, waving her off.
"I'll let you off for today, if the Overseer is really your friend, just be yourself, people say he prefers that." She then walked out of the room.

A/N:
So Sakura and Rin are here. While yes Sakura might sound OOC to an extent. That's because from what I know Rin was kind of held hostage per say by Moth, don't know if that's true or not, but that's my headcanon for her cold personality before, but here I changed that.
Oh yeah. I would like to know how you feel about chapters like this. Do you enjoy them? I enjoy writing them for sure.
