Once The Anomaly went inside his bed, Stephen decided to finally grow a spine and tell him what's on his mind.
-"Kind sir may I watch the next training video given by the company? It won't take long."
-'Hm? Oh sure, I wanted to play with my siblings anyway so go ahead.'
The abnormal infant then shook his brother a bit which led to all of the sleeping inhabitants of the house to wake up from their long slumber.
Stephen then activated 'switch' inside his mind which let the company know that the first step was complete and that his next training videocan be shown.
Immediately after Stephens rectangular body disappeared from the rural home and in front of his face, the next training video was playing.
-"Glad to see everything went well Stephen! Told you it was going to be simple, I mean how hard can it be to obliterate and infant's soul right?"
Stephen decided to remain silent, seeing as the company was apparently none the wiser.
"Well now that your host, Mr Shinomura, is inside his new body, your current task is simple, choose a proper name for yourself if you haven't, depending on the name, you will have different capabilities.
After that you need to choose whether you will be giving your host a 'starting reward', which again, will depend on what type of system you will be.
And finally, in order to complete the next step that will give you access to your next training video, you are going to need to give your host a task.
Try not to choose something too difficult like killing a dragon but don't also choose something like 'blink 10.000 times'.
And as a new-hire bonus, the first task will include a penalty! The favourite among the systems in charge of make hosts is the loss of the host's genitalia but you can go wild! So long as the task is complete-able."
-'What do you mean by bonus!? Do you want to get me killed or something? As if I can give that Thing a penalty!'
-"Moving on to the actual training part of the video. Considering you will be staying doesn't until you are activated, which may happen after this video is finished or not.
First things first, you aren't the only system on this planet nor is your host the only one there! Don't worry, we made sure that you system's cannot get harmed by any being from the reality you are sent to."
-'Please don't tell me this is leading to where I think it is. Please please please please.'
Alas, Stephen's pleas were left unheard.
-"That's right! We made sure that the system host's will be very likely to meet with each other, which will lead to entertainment, drama, action! One such example is The newly reincarnated Elven Prince, the brooding transmigrator that thinks this reality is based off a book she read and a regressor that will complete their goals no matter the cost!"
-'Whoever you three are, I beg of you, please don't go to Aurora Academy, please I beg yo-'
-"And guess what? They will all be going to Aurora Academy! The same one that your host will most likely go to based on his location."
At this point Stephen just accepted that the universe hates him.
-"Now enough about that, we now have to talk about what your host was chosen to do, bringing the Goddess Bianca's religion to the top! No matter the cost!"
-'He literally just created a thing that will bring me nightmares and now you want me to make him a preacher?'
-"Now you must be wondering, 'But Syssy! How am I supposed to complete this task while making sure that the other system host's won't interfere or that my host will comply?'"
-'I'm actually thinking about how he might turn them inside out because he was curious about how their insides look like'
-"Now that's easy peasy! Subtly manipulate him through the tasks and system shop! Make it so that favourable items and skills related to Bianca are always the ones most convenient for his current situation! Make it so that the tasks will make her appear in a positive light!
And if all else fails, just be cryptic and say something like 'I do not know host' or 'This is non-negotiable' or give him insane penalties.
Now this is the end of this training video. Good luck and don't forget about the first task!"
Stephen then found himself back inside The Anomaly's home, watching as he was playing with his siblings while his mother was sewing up baby clothes for them.
It was early afternoon and the suns were almost directly above the sky.
And such a beautiful day, Stephen was contemplating whether he should tell his 'host' about what needs to be done.
-'It seems you've returned'
Stephen let out a startled yelp as he looked down at The Anomaly but he saw that he wasn't even facing him and still kept play fighting with his siblings.
-"Umm, how did you know I came back?"
-'I saw you of course'
And before Stephen could ask another question, he noticed that inside The Anomaly's ear he could see an eye staring right at him.
'I want to go home.'
[••••••••••••Six Months Later••••••••••••••]
Anastasia was currently staring at her adorable triplets, three bundles of joy that she now cannot live without.
They were the perfect children, didn't get sick, didn't cry during the night, keeping her awake, and played with each other in such a cute way that it melted her heart.
Her husband had returned the next day after she gave birth and even though she wanted to clobber him until he would have more bumps on his head that hairs on his chest, she still understood that he wasn't there because he ran with all his might to get medicine for her.
And so once he came back she just kissed him on the cheek and led him to their children. Seeing him cry from seeing his children for the first time will be a core memory for her, which she will make sure to keep reminding him off every time he will try to be lazy and make her take care of the children.
She did not name them for a long time because she was scared to get attached to them. She was reminded of how devastated her mother was after her younger brother died when he was still 1 year old.
But after six long months of seeing them not as much as sniffle, she decided to take a risk and names.
Her daughter was Lana, she decided to make her that because she would keep watching the Lana's as they were being led by their shepherds from the window when they came near.
The first son was Vamas, named after the towering tree's of the Western part of the Empire that towered over even some castles.
And the second son was the peculiar one. For some reason the mid wife thought he was a girl when he was born and so Anastasia decided to give him two names, after the two suns in the sky.
Minara(Female) and Neiro(Male).
Her husband, Bertholdt, couldn't stop saying their names over and over, saying that he won't forget their names even if he were to an arrow stuck in his head.
Now you must be wondering, during these six months what have Neiro and Stephen done?
Neiro went to GreenWood Forest every night in order to bond with Melissa, play with her, feed her a few things he stole from his house, which led to her now having grown to the size of a 5 year old girl when standing on her hind legs.
As a gift Neiro even gave her a simple dress which he made himself with his mother's sewing kit and some wool that he asked the Lana's nicely for.
Stephen meanwhile was mustering up the courage to tell him about what he needs to do in order to get the next training video along with telling him about the other system host's.
And right after Neuro got his name, he finally did it!
-"Congratulations on getting your name Sir Neiro, your mother has great taste."
-'Oh Stephen, have you mustered up the courage to tell me about that thing you've been hiding for six months?'
If Stephen could break out into a cold sweat, he would be completely drenched.
-"O-oh you noticed sir. O-of course I did not mean to keep the information from you out of malice I was simply mus-"
-'You need not explain your motives to me this time Stephen, just tell me.'
[One explanation later]
While Stephen was explaining to Neuro about the contents of his tasks, Neiro was playing with Vamas while Lana pointed at the Lana's outside and went 'Baaaah', at which Anastasia clapped her hands and congratulated her.
Of course, Stephen was staring at the eye peeling out of Neiro's ear canal as the last time he tried not looking at It, Neiro told him it was rude to not maintain eye contact when talking with someone.
-'So they will all be going to Aurora Academy on they turn 16?'
-"Yes sir, the idea was that Shinomura was also going to go to this academy as he would get to 'look at high school girls in skirts'"
-'Mhm. And it seems that this is very displeasing for you.'
-"I would never sir! If you wish to go to Aurora Academy then I will support you unconditionally!"
-'I will not be attending.'
-"Oh thank you thank you thank you so much."
Stephen never felt better now that he knows he won't be responsible for the possible deaths of three people due to his 'host'.
"If it is not too rude to ask, but may I know why you won't be attending?"
-'Academies sound boring. Staying Cooper up in one place where I have to attend classes, deal with stuck up people and other displeasing things. Since I'll be an adult once I turn 15 I'll simply go adventuring.'
-"As you wish sir."
-'But Melissa does want to go so I will have to help her enroll.'
-"Por qué?"
-'I am going to assume you are asking me what I meant when I said that. Whenever I talked about Aurora Academy with her she would tense up a bit and when I asked her while you were busy trying to think of ways to tell me about your training video, she expressed interest in going.
As her father I am required to provide my child with proper education, but since I can just teach her what I'm learning from mandatory education myself, she will be going at the academy on her own.'
Stephen was suddenly starting to feel lightheaded. At least if Neiro were to go then he might find the possible bullying there amusing or something along those lines, but considering this is the man that made it so that status window showed 100 CHR towards...her. Then he didn't want to imagine what would happen if she were to be bullied.
That along with her just going crazy and eating all of her fellow classmates.
-'It is going to be fine Stephen, so long as the System Host's aren't perverts or degenerates, all should be fine. Now I need think of a task that won't lead to me getting my remains thrown all over the planet.'
As Neiro watched Stephen think of something that he is most likely overthinking, he couldn't but feel like he just jinxed something.
