บท 3: Never Choosing Random Again
The system was nearing the end of its recollection of Gabe's past as the trio made their way through forests, plains, and just about any greenery one could imagine.
'So I was put in stasis by Simon's magic and then again five hundred years later by the system? And I get that it's a high class bloodline but still, to be able to survive a battle with the ice king at just four years old. I must've been one badass kid!' He clenched his fist with pride.
[It's almost certain that Simon was holding back at the time]
A tick mark visibly appeared on his head, 'I get that your job is to be analytical and all, but couldn't you just give me this one?'
[Processing request]
*fax machine noises*
[Denied]
Gabe genuinely choked on air after hearing the response, causing Jake and Finn to turn and look at him questioningly, "Sorry, I'm fine", he said waving his hand.
Since he had their attention already he kept on, "By the way, the set sun awhile ago, how much longer do we have left until we reach your house?"
"Well, just passed that treeline is the spot with the best view of the tree-house. So maybe 20 minutes?" Jake seemed exhausted as he answered.
Finn seemed to realize something as he also looked back, "We told you that we live in a giant tree, right?"
Gabe honestly had no idea, a good amount of the things said today went in one ear and out the other. All the information of his new reality was slowly setting in and it almost made him sick.
'Why don't other Isekai victims ever feel this way?' He seriously felt like throwing up.
[Well the soothing nature of omnipotent beings usually helps with the adaptation of the mind, body, and soul]
[The case was the same for the host initially, especially with the biology of your child body and the love of your mother and sister]
[Unfortunately, after 1000 years and memory loss, the circumstances are not the same anymore]
'That makes a weird amount of sense. . . .' He continued to ponder, 'Wait, didn't Finn-'
"Umm, Gabe? You okay, man?" Finn seemed concerned.
"Oh, yeah sorry, I was just thinking. If I recal, you did say something about a tree-house. I can't wait to see it, by the way." His response seemed to ease Finn a bit as he turned back around.
Gabe sighed, 'I should really stop talking to the system and others at the same time.'he paused, 'Speaking of the system, I have a question.'
[I have an answer, host]
'Never say that again. I was wondering what functions you have, not that I wouldn't be fine with just a disembodied voice.', he thought sarcastically.
[Command noted]
(A/N no one is allowed to be mad about the system cuz I fr spun a wheel for this mwahahaha)
[As for host's question, as The Greatest Assassin System, the primary directive is to make you the strongest with predominantly assassin based abilities from all across fiction]
[Though not all abilities are assassination specific, they could come from any assassin-like characters imaginable]
[With this directive in mind, some tabs are slightly altered]
[Tabs include:
Inventory - Basic game-like storage space, 999 timeless slots and 50 time-flow slots allotted
Missions - Mostly assassination missions aside from Special Event Missions
Status - Game-like screen showing hosts overall condition
Training Room - Training room with realistic enemies to become accustomed to killing
Exchange - Admin hates useless rewards so exchanging allows the host to exchange system items and skills for other random rewards]
'This system tends to over-explain, but I guess that's okay. Show me my status.'

The first thing that caught his interest was the portrait option. What he saw was a young man about 18 years old, with no expression on his face. His skin was dark with no blemishes and his hair was white and spiky, though it was also shoulder length in some parts. A green jacket covered the small black tank-top below and it seemed to droop over his shoulder a bit due to being oversized, which he didn't mind. His pants were black with a belt adorned in many colors and a chain on the left side. The finishing touch was his eyes, they seemed to glow a shade of green that encompassed all things natural. Though if one looked close enough, they would see the small red dots just below his iris.
'Damn I'm handsome, but definitely not in the "yeah i'd let that guy date my daughter" way.'
His eyes drifted to the titles next, 'Are those just for show or what?'
[No, all titles have effects, some good and some bad]
[If host wishes to see their effects then simply will for it to show you]
'okay'
[Titles:
Heir To The Nightosphere - Earned by being demon royalty
Effects - Maximum affinity with dark magics-Minor control over lesser demons-Dissatisfaction from holy beings

[Note - Effects do not stack]
'So the voice is from a title? I wonder if I could get anything else this good from just a title.' He seemed satisfied with what he saw and moved on.
'What does it mean "Bugged"?'
[It appears that a tracking chip has been placed in your jacket, if you refer to the portrait there should be a small tab indicating its location.]
He quickly did as directed and found the small chip, 'That damned princess!' He was outraged! But as he thought about, it he began to understand her reasoning.
'Still, I think I'll hold onto this and teach her a thing or two about tracking people you just met.'
Everything else seemed fine until he realized something about the last tab, 'Why the hell do I only have one ability? And it's from one of my wishes no less!'
[Host's question can be answered by reading the Admin Note in the inventory]
'Fucking vague, but okay. You haven't done me wrong so far, system.' He once again followed instruction from the robotic voice.
He pulled the note out just by thinking about it as the inventory tab popped up and the note was taken from its slot, all instantaneously when it appeared in his hand.
{Hey man, I bet you're wondering why it took 5 whole years for your system to appear! Well seeing as I happen to dislike systems quite a bit, I kept it locked from you so that you could grow accustomed to not using it and therefore not rely on it-
Thinking back on the day, Gabe scratched his chin in embarrassment.
-You can thank me later, but for now I hope you have a wonderful time in your new random word!
P.S. I'll be the one in charge of creating you mission, so be sure to entertain me. Also I added a perk to your earbuds that makes them reappear in your inventory if they ever get destroyed, just as thanks for introducing me to these manga things.
P.P.S. Also I might have accidentally hit the harem world option. I'm begging you please don't make a harem(T○T) but feel free to have fun with my blunder! BYE!}
'Well he seems swell to be around.'
[He is, admin is mighty and handsome an-]
'Okay, I get it. Shut up!' He interrupted.
[No need to be rude, host]
Jake spoke before he could respond, "Well this is us, home sweet home." He looked over at Gabe and noticed something in his hand, "What's up with the paper, dude?"
Gabe took a moment to gock at the massive tree before him, which he had somehow missed in his zoned out state while conversing with the system. Then he realized what Jake said and looked at the note.
"Oh, its just a note I found in my pocket. Princess B says hi, by the way." He had an awkward smile on his face.
"Oh well that nice of her, let's head inside." Jake then extended his legs and jumped through a window, causing Finn to sigh as he fidgeted through his bag to find a house key.
He found it after a short while and they made our way inside, though Gabe soon stopped in his tracks just outside the doorway.
[Mission Alert!
Mission Type - Takedown
Description - Assassinate Elder Plomps of the Slime Kingdom
Time Limit - 6:23:59:49 sec.
Failure Penalty - Teleported with no clothes to a kindergarten and then murdered violently in the void
Admin Notes - This is for making me wait 1000 years BITCH! I ran out of good manga and anime ages ago, good luck(not really)]
'WHAT?!' He was certainly regretting receiving this system!
'Why did I have to choose go and choose random?!'
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Again, no harem. I just needed an excuse for non humanoid characters to be humanoid. Also the harem world button doesn't make all the girls immediately swoon over him, it just make more of them hot 👍
Probably should've written this one in first person but I'm kinda diggin' third person so lmk what you guys think.
the admin totally isn't my self insert!
Less system yapping next chapter, maybe even a bit of action? who knows.
Please ask any and all questions because I love responding to comments! Also seriously give song recommendations cuz I put those earbuds in the title and I feel obligated to make them a larger part of the story now lol. Have a nice day everyone😚
