From the moment that Ai whatever thing pops up, I know deep in my heart that,

'I don't like him.'

It's not because it wears my appearance or anything. It is just because, the way he acts and talks is somehow, not to my liking.

"haa* whatever, now explain... why am I here??"

(well, because this body is the only one suitable to hold the UnEd soul.)

"no- in the first place why am I-"

(Sir, you do hear a message before you fainted in your world before, right?)

That's it. That cheeky way of talking and how he cut my words in the middle. Just how can I like this dude with the way he acts?

He's the type of person that asks for a beating. In the first place, he isn't even a person.

'Should I try to slap him?'

is what playing in my mind a few times but I endure it quite well. If not, he might already be in danger a few times from my temper.

"I did... but so what?"

That Affa guy then rolled his eyes before wearing a such annoyed expression on his face as he answer,

(Can't you get it? you already die in your world!! so the only thing that Universe could do to save you is send you into another person's body!!)

"i get it... but why would the 'universe' want to save me!!?? because I'm the UnEd Soul? that's it??"

That just sounds unreasonable to me. What's so special about this UnEd soul to the point that the Universe itself moves to save it?

"do the world collapse just because I'm gone!? hah!!?? is that it??"

Remark me sarcastically, although I already know that it's impossible. But that guy Affa, he who doesn't know that I just say it out of annoyance, suddenly laughs at me. Like true disbelief in my statement.

(pfftt* who do you think you're?? a god?? why would the world collapse-)

And that's really the beginning of it.

The beginning of my snap and asura mode.

flick*

(ouch!!! why would you flick my head!!??-)

As an asura, I decide to punish him with a rainy finger flick.

flick*

(ahh* why-)

flick*

(wai-)

flick*

(no please... why would you do that to me??)

My finger then stops with that teary questioning plead. I stare at him for a long time with a cold stare before replying,

"As the owner of UnEd soul... I just did what I suppose to do."

(What that's supposed to mean!?)

"well... even if you ask me, you should know better, right?)

(hel-upp)

This time before he went and says something bad to me, Affa quickly restrain himself just in time I was about to launch my ultimate finger flick move.

"tsk- you stop so fast... why not keep talking so that I could enjoy this a little longer?"

('the hell with this guy. He's insane!!)

That is what Affa thought, even so, this move of him is a little stupid.

"you do know that the system displays your curse thought to me, right?"

State me while pointing my finger towards the screen that displays above his head. At that display, all his thoughts towards me were already spoiled.

(hiekk!!!*)

Affa lets out a shrieking voice, surprised by what was written on his head. He didn't know that the system will betray him this way.

(how could you do this to me, system!!!??-)

but I didn't care and just went and flick his head once again. And the system even smug at him.

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Seem like they enjoy his suffering.

(ouch!!! ahhhh* stop please...)

He begs me once again. More like a whine to me.

"depends on your behaviour... get it? if not, i'm not gonna just let it end with just a flick, understand?"

(...I get it okay? haa* ... what now??)

Ask him, suddenly confused about what to say more after all the punishment he received.

"well... explain about before."

haa*

Affa sighed at my persistence. Yet i ignore it.

(Even if you ask me... I am also not sure about it... it was something that always happen involving UnEd soul. I as a guide and even the system themselves, do not know much. When the Universe commend, we could only follow.)

He then shrugs his shoulder as a gesture of 'don't know'. Even the system above his head shows the emoticon of a shrug.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

I stare at them both in silence.

"...."

There's no need for me to further prey on it as I already know that their words don't seem to be a lie. Perhaps it was true that their higher-ups were hiding it from them. As I myself am aware of what it's like to live as just a worker below.

"Alright... whatever... now let's talk about something else."

Affa's expression then changes drastically from my words.

(yes, just ask me anything, sir!!!)

 He looks excited to change the topic. Perhaps he worried that I will finger-flick him once again.

"first of all, you say before that you're a tutorial guide or Ai something... As far as I know, if we're talking about the tutorial, isn't it like the one in the game? The one that is given to players who play for the first time?"

(Exactly, sir. I will guide you until what is needed before disappearing.)

"then... if you disappear....will this like a game system, disappear too?"

Affa then shakes his head a few times before replying,

(No. It will stay with sir until sir level-up to the max and finish the quest!!!)

‘until max level…??’

If I’m not mistaken if we talking about level, some games required 999 levels to say a max. So what about this system then?

“what level is max?”

(level 100 is the max, sir. In this world including your last world, no one can go beyond 100. No, the limit of humans is 99 only.)

The more I listen to Affa, the more I like the way he talks now.

“wait… then why am I 100?”

(because sir is the holder of UnEd Soul. So please don’t expect sir to be the same.)

‘the hell… what that got to do with-’

(Universal is vast. If we drop humans among the universal, they will look like a drop from the ocean. So nothing can compare between sir and human.)

Then if we take that as the logic. Isn’t that mean, the gap between that one level from 99 to 100 is so big, even though it seems small?

“It's really just beyond my imagination how amazing you make it sound like.”

(because sir soul was indeed that amazing.)

“haa* alright alright… whatever. Now… just what exactly tutorial are you talking about?"

(Tutorial is when I will explain to you a few things regarding the system.)

"i get that, I just want you to guide me now?"

(Before that, sir... I think you will need to see something else first.)

"something else? what is it?"

I tilted my head, questioning his words. Affa then smirks mischievously.

(your perk as UnEd soul's owner.)

"perk?"

'is it like a beginner gift stuff or what?'

(hehehe* The host can’t wait to see it any longer too, right?)

“just why are you looking so smug?”

(let’s open the perk!!)

“wait I’m not ready-”

Ding*

[the perk will now open]
