2026-07-08 02:55:53"Ah?" Rin froze in surprise.
"Who are you?" he asked as he looked around the room in confusion. [ Charly is your assigned assistant and will accompany you throughout your journey in this world. ] "..." An assistant? A system? Wait... did I give the protagonist something like this? Rin wondered. But this wasn't the time to overthink it. This could very well be his key to surviving in this world. And who knew? He couldn't remember anything, so perhaps he really had given the protagonist such a system. Of course, if he hadn't... Then trusting it would be dangerous. As he wondered what to say next, the voice echoed once more. [ Does the Host wish to accept Charly? Your cooperation is necessary for future developments. ] If I say "no," you'll disappear? Damn... "How can I be sure I can trust you? And what do you gain from helping me?" he asked. [ Working together with Charly will greatly benefit the Host. Charly can guide you to survive in this world... or even reward you with Neph. ] Rin's eyes widened. Neph? Isn't that one of those supernatural objects... or something like that? He held his aching head. He couldn't remember clearly, but he was certain Neph had something to do with magic in this world... Perhaps it was even the source of magic itself. "Can you also help me remember the information I've forgotten?" he asked calmly while still holding his head. [ Affirmative. However, Charly does not answer questions directly. Forgotten or new information will only be given after the Host has earned it. ] Ah... A mission-and-reward system, just like in those web novels and webtoons back on Earth, Rin thought. After thinking for a moment, he finally nodded. "Okay... where do we start?" [ Yay! ] "..." A blue game-like window suddenly appeared before him. Oh? That's... [ Name: Rin Nickname: Author Age: 17 Gender: Male Category: Supernatural Being Neph: None Stage: 0 Threat Level: Low Supernatural Ability: Heightened Senses Satisfaction Points: 0/5 ] A status screen? Well... this one certainly fits the setting of this world. Another notification appeared. [ First Mission Objective: Play the role of the Author for one day. Mission Goal: Better understand the power "Script Writer" and learn how to use it effectively. Reward: One Neph. ]** A faint smile appeared on Rin's face. I get it. This really is a protagonist-support system. Why is my nickname "Author"? Just like me, it recognizes me as the author rather than the protagonist? Heh... that's actually better. And... Heightened Senses? That's new, isn't it? I hadn't noticed it since arriving here. "What are Satisfaction Points?" he asked uncertainly. [ The more the Host satisfies Charly through hard work or wise decisions, the more Satisfaction Points the Host will receive. ] [ Once the required number has been reached, Charly will teach the Host something about this world... or about those who exist beyond it. Such knowledge will be extremely useful to the Host. ] "..." Everything has already been planned out. This feels like military training... except my enemies won't be carrying guns. They'll be using metaphysical nonsense instead. Rin sighed as he once again remembered the impossible situation he was trapped in. His gaze shifted toward the blue feather in his hand. She called it Script Writer? it actually suits it perfectly. [ Charly wishes the Host a successful beginning. ] The voice paused briefly before continuing. [ However, Charly has three sincere pieces of advice for the Host. ] [ First, the Host should act quickly due to an anomaly detected in Tania on the night of January 1st, 1950. ] [ Second, the Host must avoid the mirror in this bedroom... and under no circumstances destroy it for now. ] [ Finally... the Host must avoid the room at the end of the hallway. ] "..." Rin's heart began pounding. "Y-You're serious?" he asked. Charly gave no reply. Rin let out a long sigh before walking toward the window. Act quickly because of an anomaly...? Is this the event that draws the protagonist into the supernatural world? Is it connected to Marc's and George's disappearance...? Or... is that disappearance itself the anomaly? The mirror... Right. Some bastard has been sending me messages using supernatural powers. That's not surprising... But why shouldn't I destroy it? And the room at the end of the hallway...? Is it related to something the original Rin did? Question after question filled his mind as he looked outside through the window. Everyone was dancing joyfully through the streets, playing countless musical instruments while celebrating together. Above the city, the black mist slowly swirled, almost as though it accepted their worship. Rin, however... When he looked at that black mist, all he saw was a future enemy waiting to be defeated. Meanwhile, back inside the bedroom... Blood once again seeped from the mirror as crimson words slowly formed across its surface. "Well! I'm not surprised you couldn't come visit me at Hideo's house." "Being trapped in an unfamiliar place must be difficult... but I'm sure you'll get used to it." "I simply wanted to give you a few pieces of advice, but it seems you don't need them after all." "Goodbye... and I hope that one day, you'll come to see me." "Good luck with everything that lies ahead, dear stranger."

A miracle
By observing and listening to their conversation, Rin understood the situation a little. The young woman was named Sharon, and the young man named Eric apparently wanted to be with her. Rin also realized something else. Sharon did not want him not because of the age difference, but mainly because of their social status. She was far beneath Eric. Rin had figured this out by paying attention to the changes in Sharon's expressions and gestures. His vision was so advanced that none of it escaped him, and he could even use those gestures and expressions to draw conclusions in an almost supernatural way. Logical. Eric was obviously from a noble family, and marriages between nobles and commoners always ended badly... at least in everything I've read, Rin thought. And judging by Sharon's reaction, that seemed to be the case here as well. Rin sighed as he thought, I liked my life on Earth much better. Here I can't even have fun or do whatever I want because of my situation. He looked at
First Supernatural Case
She walked over to Rin and handed him the card. He looked at it and saw the words "Room 7" written on it.He glanced to his left, where several rooms were lined up, and nodded as he stood up.The young woman at the entrance hadn't explained that he would be entering private rooms to talk freely with clients. He had already figured that out by observing the rooms before she arrived.As he stood up, a man with black hair slicked back smiled mockingly as he whispered to another man beside him, who was reading newspapers. The latter also had black hair, with one part slicked back and another falling over the front."This kid wants to guide such a beautiful and noble woman right in front of you. You're just going to let it happen?"The man reading the newspapers gave a quick glance before smiling as if he wasn't affected by the provocation."As long as he can handle it, it's fine. I'm not here to compete with others."The man with the slicked-back hair fell silent, then looked around the r
A first client
Noticing Rin's strange behavior, the young girl asked, completely puzzled, "Are you okay?"Rin raised his head then said with a corner smile, "Yes, I just feel dizzy. You see, I can't stand famine.""..."She went silent, then thought for a moment before standing up and saying out loud without realizing it, smiling, "Just tell me what you want, I'll pay for it.""..."Rin went silent, not knowing what to say.The black-haired young man sitting in the first row of the classroom was stunned, followed by those who were with him, as he said in disbelief, "W... What did she drink him?"___________________12:10 PMRin was at the entrance of the building where the magician club was located.The day at the university had gone well. This girl had actually brought him several meals in class and only left when everyone had returned. He couldn't even swallow anything anymore, otherwise he would have vomited. At the exit, they discussed where to meet at 3 PM before separating."I didn't even get
Ash
A young boy with messy black hair and glasses approached when he saw them. The orange-haired young man said with a smile, "Richie! It's good to see you in the flesh." The young man with glasses named Richie smiled slightly before firmly shaking his head. "Rin, Stan! We need to talk, don't you think?" Rin asked in surprise, "About Marc and George?" Richie nodded. "Yeah, we got a call yesterday from their parents. They were really desperate." The orange-haired young man named Stan then said, "We actually came to see you to ask you something." "Oh? What? If it's about them, I don't know anything. I'm not the one who was supposed to be with them the day before yesterday," Richie said while looking at Rin with a puzzled expression. Stan explained what Rin had told him-that he hadn't been with them-before asking, "Where do you think they would've gone?" Stan thought for a few seconds before saying, "First, I don't know where they could be because at first they disagreed. Marc and G
An Abandoned house ?
Augustus University was the most famous university in the entire Kingdom of Velmora and was originally a place reserved only for noble and aristocratic children before it also began accepting commoners. However, even with that, the percentage of noble children was still higher-around 80% were nobles.After all, Khalthu'ra could not change everyone’s life, so not everyone could become nobles or aristocrats. There were still commoners, even if Tania still had more nobles and aristocrats than commoners and homeless people.Rin walked calmly, moving through the courtyard among several other students. He knew where he had to go: second floor, class 2A. That much he remembered at least.“Yo! Rin,” a male voice called out behind him, as a boy with orange hair wearing the same uniform walked toward him.Who is this guy? Rin wondered silently while keeping a smile on his face.The boy reached him and walked beside him, saying, “Damn, I suffered a lot this morning.”“How so?” Rin asked uncertai
The Magician's Club
Monday — 07:12 In Rue 31 stood the Magician Club, a place where people helped those with mental disorders, life problems, and similar issues… They were mostly conventional magicians, meaning those who had no Neph but were born with minor supernatural abilities. You don’t enter that place and come out unchanged. That was where Rin was heading. He had heard about this club through Charly, whom he had begged to give him more information about Tania. Going to the Magician Club was not a mission from Charly, but something he needed for future plans. He was wearing his university uniform, with his school bag. He opened the door and saw a young woman sitting at the entrance on the right, in front of several computers. The room was spacious, with other facilities and people cleaning. They had just opened. He approached the young woman, who lifted her head from her computer and looked at Rin in surprise before smiling warmly. “Good morning?” Rin looked around with a calm smile
