Chapter 1
- “Fuck, this is the worst comic I’ve ever read.” I tugged on my hair, frustrated by the damned book. “I bet the author is one psychotic bastard,” I moaned aloud, disheartened by the book.
- I can’t believe I read a book like that. This was by far the worst MC I’ve ever had the opportunity to read about.
- The art was great, but the plot was just total rubbish.
- It took me three long days to read through that damned comic, and for what?
- Just to read about that silly omega who couldn’t even stand for himself? He acted like a love-struck puppy to an Alpha who never loved him.
- “Come on, Mega. We need to get the books back to the library. You have to cease making snide remarks about your comics.” Philip rolled his eyes at me.
- I bet he has gotten tired of hearing me complain about the comic I just completed. His black eyes seemed more tired than he looked when he left earlier.
- “Can you blame me for that, man? That omega is so dumb. How can you love someone who has always treated you like trash?
- I don’t get it.”
- If only I can meet that stupid omega, I would have shaken some sense into him. It would have only taken a slap to completely reformat his mentality.
- Phillip sighed. “It’s alright. Since you don’t like the comic, I will get another one for you.” He tossed my jacket to me. “Here, wear it. We need to get moving. The librarian just phoned me.” He ran a hand through his blonde hair as a sigh escaped his lips. His dark eyes locked with mine, in a silent plea for me to keep my mouth shut.
- “You are getting a new comic for me, promise?” I wore the jacket he gave me and combed my hair with my fingers. “I might get a haircut soon.”
- It has been long since I cut my hair. I don’t need it to grow long before I cut it.
- “Maybe, we will do that after sending the books back,” Phillip took the books. “For now, we have some tasks to do.” He hastened out of our room.
- I followed him and locked the door behind us.
- Phillip and I live in an apartment off campus because the dorms were filled. We rented a condo close to the school, and have been living here since our first year. Though it wasn’t all roses and such, Phillip is one great, bloody friend.
- “I’m never going to read a comic written by that man.” I fumed. “That was the worst comic ever.”
- I wasn’t about to drop the matter until I’d vented enough.
- Phillip sighed. “I get it, Mega. You don’t have to tell me more about your comic.” He turned to look at me.
- “No, you don’t get it! That comic was trash! Wait, it’s not even the comic. It’s that foolish omega. How can he be so dense? I know he loves the Alpha dearly, but why will he allow the Alpha to treat him like a fool?” I felt like kicking a water bottle I saw lying on the floor.
- “People are glancing at us, Mega. Keep your voice down.” Phillip glanced around before he took my hands and made to cross the road.
- However, I refused to let him hold me because I was still pissed.
- “I don’t bloody care!” I took a step back. “That Omega is shit! He—”
- “Mega, watch out!”
- I heard Phillip shout before the collision. A sharp pain racked my body as I fell on the tarred road.
- I slowly opened my eyes. My body didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would. I thought the collision will leave me in pain, with my legs strung up in a hospital bed.
- “Fuck, what just happened?” I placed a hand on my forehead, and peeked up, expecting to meet Phillip’s worried glance.
- But nothing of that sort happened.
- Instead, I discovered something shocking.
- “Where am I?” I glanced around the forest, confused about how I got to be there. I was supposed to be in a damned hospital, and not a forest!
- “Oh, you are awake.” A voice spoke behind me, and I instinctively turned.
- Behind me was a strange creature.
- He wasn’t only petite, but he had wings!
- The small creature was dressed in a blue gown which covered his legs. The only visible things were his hands and wings. His hair was covered with a black cloak.
- “What are you?” I tried to rise from the floor, but the searing pain I felt, caused me to sit back.
- “I’m your system, I guess.” The strange creature placed a hand under his jaw. He gave me a once-over as if sizing me up the same way I did go him not too long ago.
- “System? What system?” I glanced around the forest.
- “You see.” The small creature glided over to me. “You died, and your soul somehow got here.”
- “What do you mean?” His words confused me more.
- “I don’t even know.” He blinked. “Just like you, I found myself here. All I know is that I’m your system. And I’m supposed to guide you through your—”
- “Wait, I transmigrated?” I blinked. “Which world is this? Is this some dope world where I will get points when I kill villains? A world where I can level up after each stage?” I perked up. “Gosh! I’m the main lead, right?” It sounded so good to be true.
- “Uh… I don’t know.” He nervously scratched his hair. “Let me consult the script.” He turned his back to me.
- “Aren’t you a system?” I furrowed my brows at him. “Why do you need to read a script?”
- He didn’t say a word for a long time.
- “Oh, yes!” He suddenly turned to face me. “Welcome into the kingdom of the dark Moon. I’m your system, and your host is…..”
- “Are you kidding me?” I gasped. “Dark moon?
- Fuck.” I tugged on my hair. “Not only did I transmigrate into that shitty comic, but I got a stupid system?”
- “Hey!” He pointed at me. “I have a name, you know! I’m not a stupid system!” He wagged his little fingers at me.
- “What’s wrong?” I tried to rise from the ground, and this time, I was successful. “So, dear system, what’s my task?”
- “Your task?” He placed a hand under his jaw. “What’s that?”
- I groaned. “Who even made you a system? Well, I’m not surprised. After all, this is one stupid comic. I guess I will—”
- He coughed. “Well, according to the script, you are Brys, an omega from the family of—”
- “Brys?” I widened my eyes in shock. “I’m Brys?”
- I scoffed.
- This can’t be possible.
- There is no way in hell that I will be that damned stupid omega.
- “Well, that’s what the script said.” The stupid system glared at me
- “Brys? Hmm. Which time in the comic did I arrive?” I placed a hand on my jaws. “Has he met the Alpha?”
- “No… Not yet.” My stupid system glided in front of me. “According to the script, you only need to keep to the script.”
- To hell that I will do that.
- “And if I don’t? Is there any punishment attached?”
- Though my system wasn’t as reliable as that of the ones I’ve read of in comics, I was aware he was the only one who can supply the answers to my questions.
- “I think….” He skimmed through the script.
- “You are even using a book? What of those fancy gadgets I read about?” I blinked as I moaned my luck.
- In other system books I’ve read, their systems have fancy gadgets, but this one is using an old script for fuck’s sake.
- “Oh, yes! You will receive a stroke of cane anytime you go against the plot.” He folded the little script.
- “A stroke of cane?” Hmm. “Anything more?” I pursed my lips.
- “None that I know of.” He grinned.
- “Well, a stroke of the cane doesn’t sound that bad.” I beamed. “I’m going to show that damned author how a good story is written.”
- “Hey! Don’t you dare go against me!” My stupid system placed both hands on his waist.
- “I’m already doing that.” I limped out of the place and headed to my cottage.
- With my memory of the comic, I will be able to navigate just fine, in this strange world — or so I thought.
