Chapter 1: 0.1 A Mini Sun

She stared at the ball of light that floated in front of her with mild interest. 

 

[Welcome Esteemed Host! I am the Deus Ex Machina System! ヽ( ★ω★)ノ]

 

"..." Her head tilted to the side; the robotic sounding voice was confusing to her. The ball had no face, the voice held no emotion, but she could feel its excitement.

 

[(＾▽＾) ...Esteemed Host?]

 

"..." Her mouth pursed into a small frown. Now it sounded sad!

 

She poked the ball of light, expecting it to be solid, only for her hand to pass through it.

 

[Don't worry, Esteemed Host! Once I upgrade to the next level, I can gain a form! ｡◕‿◕｡]

 

"Name...?" She muttered.

 

[Hm? Did you say something, Esteemed Host? (=^_^=)?]

 

"What is my name...?"

 

[What do you mean, Esteemed Host? (￣ω￣)]

 

"Why can't I remember anything?"

 

[Give me one moment, Esteemed Host...! ＼ (٥⁀▽⁀) ／]

 

The ball of light disappeared, only to pop back up with a light purple panel in front of it. Her head tilted as the ball moved its body to scroll up and down the panel for a few minutes. She watched as the light of its body grew dim, and the panel vanished.

[I do not know, Esteemed Host… I’m only a newbie system that was just assigned to you. So any information that is above my level of authority is classified for me. ╥﹏╥]

 

She blinked, and then asked, "Well what is this system you were talking about earlier?"

 

[The purpose of this system is to save the poor main characters who lived an unjust life! Our main mission is to at least solve one of their regrets before they die… But if we help them live past their intended death, the more points you get! And if you get 500 points, I can upgrade and help you more! ヽ( ★ω★)ノ]

 

The ball went back to its full brightness, forming spots in her vision as it rattled off in excitement. How the ball’s dull voice was able to convey its child-like excitement was beyond her.

 

"And why do I have to save them? How does it benefit me if I have no memories and thus no attachment to strangers I'm being forced to help?" She didn't know much of the words she spewed, she just felt it was appropriate for this deal that only benefited the tiny ball of light.

 

The ball of light seemed to dim ever more than it did earlier and deflate at her cold words before bouncing back up, spinning around her while chattering.

 

[If you can upgrade me to level 5, I can contact the higher ups on why you can't remember~!] 

The ball finally stopped in front of her glowing brighter than when she first saw them. 

 

I NEED TO REMEMBER!

 

She closed her eyes, spots filling her vision because of the bright ball's spinning, and thought, "It's better than nothing... And I doubt I can leave this weird black space on my own..." She sighed and murmured quietly, "Fine, I'll help you upgrade."

 

[Yay! Oh, and since you're a newbie Esteemed Host, you get to choose your first world! o(^-^)o]

 

The ball of light shook lightly before splitting in two, one staying in place while the other hovered in front of her eyes. She squinted in annoyance from the bright light, opening her mouth to ask what they were doing. The ball of light in front of her warped into a thin, transparent, light purple screen, showing a picture of herself and information, albeit most of it was [Classified] or {Locked}.
