"So, 438, can you tell me what's going on? What era did I get transported to?"
Wu Yue picked up the nearby hay and began her first DIY project of this new life.
There weren't any clothes to be found. If she didn't weave something out of hay to cover herself, what was she supposed to do, run around naked?
"This is the Snow Tiger Tribe in the Polar Forest of the Senluo Continent. There are Snow Tiger Beastmen...!@#$%..."
The System dutifully explained Wu Yue's current predicament in detail.
"So, can I go back?" Wu Yue asked tearfully. She still had a sizable sum of money in her bank account that she hadn't spent...
'The greatest tragedy in life is dying before you've spent all your money~'
The System was silent for a moment. "I don't know. I was already here when I woke up."
'I only got here a few days before the host, after all~'
Wu Yue muttered to herself, 'This System is so unreliable. Nothing like the overpowered ones in novels.'
System: ...
'I'm not an overpowered System at all. My deepest apologies!'
The girl and the System fell silent. After some time, Wu Yue looked up and stretched her neck.
"438, what time is it?"
The System's mechanical voice rang out. "It is now eleven o'clock. Two hours have passed since you woke up."
Wu Yue glanced down at the DIY project in her hands. 'So I've been struggling for two hours just to weave a little grass mat that can't even cover my butt?'
'I really want to shove this grass mat in the System's face...'
System: ...
'You're the one who's all thumbs. What does that have to do with me?'
"So... 438~ what kind of functions do you have?"
The System was silent for a long time...
"Before we get to my functions, I think it's necessary for you, my host, to give me a new, more impressive name." A faint, electric crackle seemed to run through the System's voice.
While Wu Yue was weaving her grass mat, he had looked through some of the System's built-in data and finally understood the... other meaning behind his name...
'What kind of heartless bastard gave me a name that was a built-in insult!'
Wu Yue was inwardly roaring with laughter, but she kept a straight face. "Why? I think it's a great name. So powerful and imposing."
The System sneered. "Is that so? My name sounds an awful lot like 'damn bitch.' Do you think *that* name would suit you better, Host?"
Wu Yue choked. 'Are all systems this sharp-tongued nowadays?'
She sheepishly rubbed her nose and chuckled. "Hey, don't be so serious. We're in the same boat now. Of course I'll give you a better name."
She scratched her head, thinking for a long time. "This... that... uh... What do you think of 'System'? It's simple, easy to remember, and catchy."
The System didn't call out its host's lame excuse. Seeing her struggle like that, he could tell she was terrible at naming things.
"I guess it'll do..."
'At least it's better than that god-awful 'damn bitch.''
"I am the Beast World Survival System. I can help you better survive in this dangerous Beastman World. There's nothing I can't do, only things you can't imagine, dear~"
Wu Yue: ...
'Why does it sound like an ad from some online marketplace...?'
GRUMBLE~~ RUMBLE~~ 'Never mind those fancy functions. The top priority right now is securing some food.'
Wu Yue's eyes lit up. "System, get me an order of braised pork over rice."
System: ...
'What kind of dumbass host did I get stuck with!'
"Don't have it."
"How about some braised eggplant, then?"
"Don't have it."
"Steamed buns?"
"Don't have it."
