Chapter 4 - Chapter 4; System

Rustling noise

ARCH: Ugh.....huh? Wha-what happened? Why am I laying on the floor... ahh, fuck, my head hurts.... What happened? (GrowwwWl).... Oh right, food! I need to find some food... but why the fuck do my clothes feel so sticky?

NARRATOR: [Trauma can cause memory loss by overwhelming the brain's memory centers (like the hippocampus), leading to gaps, fragmentation, or suppression of traumatic events as a defense mechanism, often seen in PTSD and dissociative amnesia. This results in difficulty recalling details (episodic memory), poor concentration, and altered memory processing, where threat-related cues are prioritized over coherent recall, affecting both traumatic and general memories.]

ROB: [Haysst...(shakes his head) a little consequence for your first wish.... "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."... Erasing your existence in your past life is like rewriting the whole world and fabricating time itself--]

DIRECTOR: [Shhhhhhh! Enough, Gramps, you might spoil something... and supposedly this is the part when he remembers his wishes. Right?]

AUTHOR: [Yuppp, but partially, not the entire thing..... so don't worry, Gramps..👍. If ever that PTSD shit takes place again, I'll use my stand ... THE WORLDOooooo or some TIME SKIP NINJUTSU to stop him....]

ROB: [Haysst..]

NARRATOR: [Hey...HEY.. heyy ....enough chit-chats.]

DIRECTOR: [Okay .. back to your positions, we're rolling the cameras ..]

[ 3...2....1...ACTION... 🎬 ]

ARCH: Aachoo....sneezes. There's really someone who's bad-mouthing me?... Anyway, let's check the gifts 🎁 Gramps gave..... (scratches his head). Hmmmm... okayy.... SYSTEM COME OUTTTT... Hmmmm (looks around). What? Where's the system interface? ... Should I also snap my fingers? 👉. snaps snaps snaps snaps snaps.. Ohhhhh boyyyyy, this is hopeless... (he's in deep thought, solving and analyzing.. like it's some kind of calculus equation.... sighhhh, but after 4 seconds he gives up..... Heyyy... where's my system....)

Suddenly creakkkkk, a sound of an old door opening can be heard. Yet there was no door, but a pop-out window appearing right before his eyes!

ARCH: WHAAAAAAATTTTT.. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT CREAK? ISN'T IT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE DINGG OR A ROBOTIC OPENING VOICE?

AUTHOR: [Nope, I like that creak sound more... A horror vibe ... and it sounds so fuckinggg unique!?]

DIRECTOR: [An odd taste. I see]

ARCH: For some reasons, I somehow managed to summon my system, and the reasoning behind all of this is to just think about it, then it shows up 🤔, and wait for it to load... yup... because it's fucking loading ..... you see this bar right here.... It says DOWNLOADING RESOURCES! . Yuppp, it's downloading... LIKE WHO THE FUCKKKK KK CAME UP WITH THIS SHITTTTTTTTT.....

AUTHOR: [Not me!]

DIRECTOR: [Wasn't me]

ROB: [No Clue]

(After 5 minutes of ranting)

ARCH: It's still on 3 percent.... hayssstttt... there's no point in cursing this stupid system. I need to hurry up and find some food. (stands up).

ARCH: What kind of setting am I in, anyway? This place is like a dilapidated kominka.

NARRATOR: [Japanese old houses, known as Kominka, are traditional rural homes (often for farmers/merchants) or townhouses (Machiya) built with natural materials, featuring distinct elements like tatami mats, wood structures, paper screens (shoji), and often designed with open spaces, raised floors, and elements for managing humidity.]

ARCH: Okay, let's start the raid....

But when he tried to take a step, he suddenly felt dizzy, his senses became unresponsive, and numbness took all over his body. Then he collapses again, laying on the floor like a dead person! 🙄 ...

AUTHOR: That's what you get for cursing the system!.... Kidding .. it's just the result of excessive blood loss 📉..

DIRECTOR: "Just"? Are you blind? Look at those blood! It can fuckinggg fill up a tub. He should be dead right now!

NARRATOR: Heyyy... settle down, fellas... but now that you said that, how come he is still alive?

ARMOR PLOT: You're welcome 🙏

DIRECTOR: -_-

AUTHOR: -_-

NARRATOR: -_-

ROB: -_-

[ 27 hours 34 minutes and 45 seconds Time skip ]

ARCH: Did I pass away? No.. nope, just passed out.. Man, I gotta keep my shit together.

CREAKKKKK

Arch looks up and notices the loading bar of the system is now full.

ARCH: Now we're talking. What a coincidence, right.... tsk... If I remember correctly, I need to think about certain actions or give commands using my mind to access this system. Does that mean that I have a chip implanted in my brain !?. Hmmmm... Just thinking about it makes me crazy 🤪.... Let's see, cough, cough, cough, ahemm. System, are you there? Hello, system? Are you there?

AUTHOR: WTF... Did he just ask the system to give him some food?
