Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 The Reset

While Naiba was trying to catch his breath, Finzen was looking for something in the Giant Tree.

Finzen found it and took it. Right after finding it he broke it shatering it to thousands of pieces of glass that turned to tiny particles. The tiny partcles flew to different directions, and scatering it until it dissipated.

After the tiny particles dissipated the TB appeared with a warning.

[ERROR]

AN ARTIFACT HAS BEEN BROKEN

[SAFETY BACKUP]

HAS BEEN USED

[RESET TO EVENT]

At that moment everything became blurry every Subject fell to the ground causing them to lose concuisness. The sky shined brilliantly until light filled every part of the universe causing it to be "erased".

...

At the Company the Host was dyed with astonishment to the point that the cup of coffee that she was drinking fell from her hand, and spilling on the floor.

With an enraged voice the Host shouted.

"Are you kidding me how did he find that? I mean even though it's not hidden perfectly it's not hidden terribly either! Sign... It must be Naiba, no if I called him by his name–"

Suddenly a figure appeared after hearing the Host's shouting.

"Can you stop acting like a darn child? I know you can. You should get used to this stuff. Your still only a novice at this."

The voice was very concernned with a perfect amount of calmness added to it.

"Manager? Why are you here?"

The man signed.

"Isn't it obvious, I came because you shouting so hard that I heard it while typing away at my pc."

The Host was instantly embaressed after what the man just said.

"Oh right! I'm sorry Manager."

The man signed again and replied calmly.

"If possible I don't want this to happen again. Do you understand that?"

The Host replied instantly with a slight hint of fear.

"Yes!"

The man looked at host and said before leaving "Oh! It seems like the Subjects your dealing with are the problematic type. That universe was cursed to begin with I don't know why the Head wants you to deal with it. Just do as the manual said if you want to continue dealing with that universe."

The man left the room and the door closed. The Host was exhausted and she looked at the time.

"6:08 huh... I'll get a bot to clean this mess up and go home."

After a bot assigned to cleaning spilled coffee arived, and finished cleaning the spilled coffee the Host left the room.

The Host was sitting at the usual spot she sits in the public Cosmic Transport Train or CTT for short.

From the sit the Host admires the countless lit up buildings going farther and farther away from her as the CTT gains more speed.

The sky was dark but filled with countless overwhelmingly beautiful celestial bodies.

The Host fell asleep in the CTT and was woken up by a "Did You Fell Asleep Bot".

The Host regained her concuisness and left the CTT and walked in the streets, and entered her house.

A caring yet gentle voice was heard right after the Host entered the house.

"Your late again Del."

"I was just finishing something so that I don't need to do it tomorrow, and you don't have to worry mom."

With a cocerned look, her mother said, "Okay you can go wash your self now, then eat dinner okay?"

With a small smile on her face the Host replied, "Okay mom."

The Host's mother went to her room to take rest while she washed her self up and finished eating dinner.

The Host went upstairs and saw the diary on top of her desk. She felt a sense of nastalgia and staryed to wonder whether or not diaries still existed within other places. She leaves that thought aside and looked at the cover of the diary. The cover goes like this: Delia's Daily Summary. The cover was covered with pretty flowers, looking like it was made by a little girl at the age of 5.

Delia was skimming through the pages until she found a particular date.

"2nd of August in the Cosmic Calendar, I was reading at the library until an anouncement was made by the academy. The announcer said that a meteor will hit the planet but it isn't just one but a dozen of it. I was annoyed at the cheery voice made by the announcer, I mean why are you happy about announcing that a meteor will hit the planet?"

"Just when the meteor was in sight, an unknown barrier stoped it from crashing in the planet. The barrier was a perfect fit with the term of immovable object. I was stunned by such an event that I only read about in novels."

Delia continued reading her diary and added a new page.

"26th of November in the Cosmic Calendar, today I–"

...

After she finished writing a new page to her diary, she went to bed exhausted and fell asleep once more.

...

In the morning she did her daily routine of wake up, go out for a run, go home, eat breakfast, read, go to bath, get dressed, read, get dressed for work, prepare to leave, eat lunch, say goodbye, and go ride a public CTT.

At work she went to the control area and downloaded the manual.

[Download has been completed]

The manual was downloaded and Delia followed what the manual said. After a while she completed the process of Reset, and the Oblivius City has now been

fixed by the use of the maual and the backup of the universe.

"Phew... Now I can start my work as a Projector once again"

...

The sun was bright, the whole of the Central Park was filled with its light.

Naiba woke up from his deep slumber after the universe was Reset.

"What was that? Just what is this place?"

The Host stood in front of Naiba with an expressionless face.

[If you want to know, then complete the Mission that I've given you. That holds the answer.]

Naiba sighed as if disappointed and replied back.

"How am I suppossed to complete it when I can't even see what's I'm supposed to become?"

The Host sighed back and replied to Naiba.

[Then I'll give you free service and show it to you.]

The Host flick her finger and the Mission appeared.

[Mission]

Become a King

Naiba was confused by what he just read. Naiba thought "A king a literal King or a metaphorical King?"

The Host told Naiba this [You can look at it like this a pawn will promote to either a Knight, a Bishop, a Rook, or a Queen, but in the end you can't promote to a King so thats the clue that I've given you. Don't think too much into it unless you have all the nessesary info.]

Naiba was even more confused than before, he thought "Why did she give an analogy using chess?"

After a few seconds of silence the people that were deep into slumber started to wake up one after another. Not long after wards every Subject woke from their sleep.

A huge stage appeared in the sky with the Host standing on top of it. Even though the stage was huge it was transparent allowing everyone to see the Host. Just when everyone started to look up towards the stage it fell down creating a bunch of holoraphic rubles. No one was harmed by it and the Host started to talk.

[You people must be wondering why you all woke up in here. The reasoning is simple, someone broke the Great Tree's core causing the original world to collapse, and I had to use a backup.]

The Host sighed and continued.

[Even if your confuse right now I'm not interested in answering. If you want to bent your anger on someone you know who to hate now. The Main Event won't change, and the Rewards of the Mini Event was not erased.]

After the Host stoped talking, everyone move their head to look at Naiba. Each and every one of those gazes was filled with anger towards Naiba. It was to the point of someone tried to fire a shot of fire towards Naiba.

Finzen got up and walked towards Naiba who was still in a state of confusion.

"Would you answer me if I ask you?"

Naiba looked at Finzen, he just nodded not saying anything.

"Then why did you told me to break the glowing ball thing, and how did you know that its gonna do this?"

Finzen asking such made a lot of sense, after all would't you question such a thing? This made Naiba think, "His asking a question, is it because of the thought injection? No doesn't thought injection inject a thought so its not that because it doesn't inject questions, well as far as I know. Then it must be thought extraction but it only extract thoughts... Wait what happens if a thought is extracted and not replaced by another thought? Does the brain create a new thought or not to replace it? Sigh... Either way I might be over thinking things. I guess I'll just answer."

After deciding what to do Naiba answered Finzen's question.

"I don't know."

Finzen was quikly filled with confusion. Why won't he know? He made me do break that glowing ball thing. This thoughts came to Finzen's mind and it making no sense for Naiba not to know.

"What how can you not know?" Finzen said in a confused and slightly concerned manner.

"..."

Naiba was silent he doesn't know what else there is to say. He opened the TB casually looking through it while Finzen was asking his questions. He saw the change in the Main Event.

[■■■]

Main Event: Elect a Leader

Time Limit: 10 Days

Reward: 10,000 Points

Failure: Lost of ability

...

Back at the Company, the Host was lesuirely siting while watching the Subjects.

A man in a very formal outfit came to talk to her.

"Why did you change the System? The Subjects will just get confused. Are you trying to turn that world into hell?"

The Host replied with a tone of professionalism, "No I'm not trying to turn it in to another hell. I don't mind if the Subjects get confuse. The changing the system is purely for..."

"Sigh... You don't have to tell me, its for consistancy of the files right? But that just makes that world even more inconsistant."

The Host just replied with a yes.

The Host ask, "Manager why are you in my office again?"

"Oh right! I almost forgot that world is supposed to shut down in 3 days from now."

The Host was quite shock hearing this. The Host asked in puzzlement, "Why is that?"

The Manager calmly answered.

"The Head wants to lock that world away, the reason I don't know."
