[The soul of the host does not belong to this world.]
[Your existence is higher than this world.]
[Fixing the error... system is rebooting...]
[System reboot 1%... 2%... 3%...]
The hell?
My existence? Does this mean my role as the author?
Did that guy not think of this? Or maybe he forgot?
I thought as the system rebooted before me. As the percentage increased further and further, strangely enough, it was making me curious and excited.
I waited for a few minutes, patiently waiting for it to be ready.
[97%... 98%... 99%... 100%]
[System reboot completed.]
[It has been identified that the host is the original creator of this world.]
[Extra rewards are being allocated to the creator.]
[You have received the aspect "Purest Mana".]
[As the creator, you have received the "Author Halo".]
[You have received "All elemental affinity".]
It quietened down after that, and I remained the same.
For a few minutes, it felt as if time had been stopped for me.
Wha- is this all even real?
Now it was getting hard for me to process all this as well.
Even if I ignore everything else, this thing "Author halo"... isn't this completely broken?
I, as an author, can clearly feel what I can do with that, so doesn't this just mean I can do whatever I want with that?
Did he really not think of such a thing happening with me?
I received a lot of things in a short period. System, can you give me a brief explanation of everything I got?
[As you wish, host.]
[SSS rank pass: You can upgrade one thing, whatever you wish to SSS rank.]
Ah, sorry, no need to go through everything. Give me a description of the villain and the author's halo.
Ding~
[Villain halo: This is not a skill or ability, but only a villain of the story will possess this. Any character who is considered a villain in the story will automatically be favourable towards the owner of this halo, while the main characters and heroines will have completely opposite feelings for you.
Note: You possess an inferior villain halo, so it won't raise too much favourability even among the villains.]
[Author halo: You are the creator of this world, so naturally everything will flow as you wish. You are the sole person in possession of this halo. Contrary to the villain's halo, you will get additional buffs and abilities with this one.]
Like what?
[For one, the negative impact of villain halo won't affect you, heroines will not hate you unless you do something that displeases them.]
[Another use of this halo, it will let you take control of your world, but only if you have enough story points.]
Story points?
[Story points signify your influence in the story. Simply put, the more quests you complete that influence the story, the more story points you will receive.]
So I can use those points to change anything, right?
[Correct. But only if you have enough story points to change the flow of the story or to change an entire arc.]
Hmm, I understand. So if I want to change a future or any incident that I do not like, then I can do it if I have enough influence in the story.
Guess I am not all powerful, huh?
Then, how many story points will I need if I wish to change the ending?
[Calculating the required story points...]
[The ending of this story affects the entire existence. The amount will be huge.]
[You will require 4809470000671235 story points.]
Alright, I love maths, numbers do not scare me. Just tell me how many story points I will receive if I conquer a heroine?
[That depends on which heroine you conquered, host.]
[If it is the main one who had a significant influence on the story, then it will be high.]
[If you want to have a rough estimation, then conquering the heroine with not much influence will earn you around 1000 story points.]
( ￣ー￣)
For real?
[Don't blame me, host. Blame yourself.]
Fine, fine. Show me my profile now.

Except for the things I received from the system, this seems like what I had thought of him.
The Asthor family that I belong to is a family that specialises in space magic. And as in the story, I got my affinity in space, and it is C rank, not good, but not the worst as well.
But why is there no rank in all elements?
[That is because it does not need one. All elements allow you to learn the magic of every element you wish, but it will not be as good as those who have a specific affinity for an element. The grade will depend on the kind of magic you learn.]
Hmm, alright. Before I get to use the pass, what do you do system?
[My duty is to assist you, host. To help you complete the quests and provide new ones after that.]
[Each time you complete a quest, you will receive rewards, they are in the form of story points, but when you conquer a heroine or a villainess, you will get something more, a choice of your own to pick one thing that they own. You can pick anything, but you will not receive the same thing, the system will multiply the reward by 1000 times and deliver it to you.]
Oh? Are you that generous?
Maybe I might actually pull it off.
