While it's true that those words came out of my mouth... it was just a comment that you say randomly in a moment of weakness or anger or even sadness, in my case all of them, but it's not like I intended to make a deal with that God or something, though... Maybe it's not all bad, in my previous life I lived in a boring world, my life was meaningless to me despite what others would have thought otherwise if they had been in my shoes, so maybe it's not so bad to reincarnate here, I just have a lot of questions.
"System, I think it would be logical for you to answer some questions for me, don't you think?" – I said.
I have countless questions about my current situation and about my future in this world, I hope that at least the system will answer some of them.
[It's logical and understandable, however, I can't give you all the answers you want, so tell me what you want to know]
"To begin with, why don't I remember anything about the events that will happen next?" – I asked.
It's weird, I tried to remember what I should do next, but I don't remember exactly everything, just some random things, some unimportant ones like the powers that each of the children I would meet soon had and other essential ones about what made me "Peculiar", but even with all that, I didn't remember the story, only brief fragments that left me even more doubts.
[The God you made a deal with thought it would be more interesting if you only knew the most important events, so he sealed most of your memories about the events of the movie.]
"I get it... wait, did you say movie?" – I asked in amazement.
[That's right, I said movie]
"You mean I'm in the movie?" – I asked again.
[No, I mean that the events and the story will be very similar to the ones in the movie, but different from the books, but this, what you're experiencing now is real, it's not a movie, you better not believe that you can't die or that the people who inhabit this planet are NPCs like in video games or even actors who get paid to play a role, they're all real here]
"You're right... it's just that the movie is a little bit..." – I said.
Different or in other words, the film is extremely different from the books both in story and in characters and even in romance, in addition, it also has some incongruities, such as the end of the film, which I liked, but it does not make much sense, because they do not give importance to the fact that Miss Peregrine is not with them despite the fact that that was their mission, to help her, moreover, in books they even go in search of her because she is... I don't remember what happened next, damn memories blocked.
[Hmm, I think the word you're looking for is... different]
"Rather completely different and with some quite important plot flaws" – I nodded.
[So don't worry, host, even though it is based on the movie, the events will not be completely the same as those of the movie, nor will the ending, but it will not be the same as the story that was told in the books, it is similar, but at the same time different]
"How do you know all that? Can you predict the future or something?" – I asked surprised.
I mean, how do you know what's going to happen? It is literally impossible for him to know because it has not happened yet.
[Hmm, I don't know what will happen, but I know it will be different, the God of deals informed me of it, but he didn't tell me what would happen, you'll have to find out for yourself]
"Haa... Okay, at least tell me what kind of system you are" – I sighed.
There is no remedy, he does not seem to lie and it is not that I am interested in knowing the future, so I will leave this topic here, because I am more interested in knowing what kind of system I have.
[Oh, I'm a penalty-free quest system, it's simple, I give you a quest and if you want, you can do it, in return, if you do them, you'll be given rewards for it, it's that simple]
"Well... It is, no doubt, do I have at least a status?" – I asked.
At least I want to know how strong I am, although seeing this untrained body... it seems to me that I am a weakling.
[There is no numerical status, but yes, you have a status, I'll show you:
Name: Jacob Portman.
Race: Human.
Age: 15 years old.
Peculiarities: Hollow Spirit Control (Sealing), Hollow Spirit Location (Sealing), Multiple Hollow Spirit Control (Sealing), The One Who Can See Hollows.
Harem: No One
And that's all, that's your status]
When I saw my status only one word came to mind, simple, this protagonist is very weak, too weak, no wonder he had such a bad time in the books and in the movie, if it had been something stronger, he could have performed better, although I don't blame him, because suddenly he was involved in a series of events that he never expected to find, It was difficult for him, but like any protagonist... he surpassed them.
[Don't worry if you see that your status is simple, it can be improved]
"To begin with, tell me if I can get more peculiarities" - I said.
I want to know if I can have more powers or on the contrary I have to make do with what I have.
[You can definitely get more peculiarities and don't worry, those peculiarities don't come from the Library of Souls, but are created by the system]
"Library of Souls? What the hell is that?" – I asked.
I didn't remember anything like that, of course my memories are sealed almost entirely.
[Oopss, I forgot that your memories are sealed, anyway, yes, you can get more peculiarities]
"Perfect, so I'll be stronger with the time, now tell me, what is the harem?" – I asked.
[Don't you know what a harem is?]
"Silly, I do know, what I meant is because it's in my status" – I said.
Who didn't know what a harem was? Only a fool out from under the rocks wouldn't know.
[Because is it what you want, is your desire]
My desire? Well... It is true that when I read novels I dreamed of having not one, but several women who loved me, but since it was a completely impossible dream, I put it aside and limited myself to enjoying those incredible stories, but not real at all.
"System, it's not that I don't thank you, but... Even with my memories sealed I can say that I can't make a harem, the girls of this world are almost the same as those of my previous world, they would never accept a harem" – I said.
Even with my sealed memories I can know that.
[Mmm, it's true, but that was in the movie and in the books, this is the real world, besides, we're in an alternate timeline]
"So, the polygamy is legal in this world?" – I asked surprised.
[No, at least not in the current era, but in this world, in the 1940s there was still polygamy, which began to decline from the year 1960, so I don't think you will have a problem forming a harem with the girls who were born in those times]
I see, I think I remember that, in ancient times, the powerful had several women, that there was polygamy, but that due to the Catholic Church or something like that, polygamy ended up disappearing or so I think, don't pay much attention to me, I'm not an expert in history.
[The same thing that happened in your world happened in this but a few years later, quite a few more, in fact, it was difficult to find such a timeline, extremely difficult]
"Then, I can only thank you for it" – I said.
I was grateful, to have at least the opportunity to have a harem... It sounds really wonderful.
[You're welcome]
"Now, I have to decide what to do from now on, of course I have to find a way to go to the island, but I don't remember the name, besides, according to today's date... I would have to go in the summer, which is in a few weeks, luckily, I remember the old man's words perfectly" – I said.
[Yes, it's just that... Let me help you]
"What do you mean?" – I asked curiously.
But he didn't need to say anything to me, at least not directly.
[The first missions have been issued:
Mission Nº1:
Objectives: Follow the instructions your grandfather told you before he died and find the name of the island where the peculiar children live.
Reward: Water Control (Basic)
Mission Nº2:
Objectives: Convince your parents to take you to the island during the holidays.
Reward: Unlocking "Hollow Spirit Location".
I think this is more than enough to start with, they are simple missions that you can accomplish with ease, but first...]
"It's true that they are simple missions, but... Why do I sense that there is something more?" – I asked.
His last words, I'm afraid, suggest that something is going to happen.
[To begin with, I think you should assimilate Jacob's original memories, it will be very useful to you in many situations, both present and future.]
"Wait, what do you want...?" – I tried to ask.
I wanted to ask, How are you going to do that? But suddenly, my head began to hurt, at first it was a somewhat normal pain, but as the seconds passed, they became stronger, until I began to feel a pain that I never thought could exist, a pain so strong that it made me scream in despair.
"Ahhhhh!" – I shouted.
The pain was so huge that I bent down on my knees while holding my head and screaming as loud as my vocal cords would allow me, a noise that obviously alerted my parents.
"Jacob! Are you okay?" – said a female voice on the other side of the door.
They had heard their son screaming heartbreakingly, so they immediately went to his room in search of answers.
But our protagonist was taking in all of Jacob's memories as he tried to cope with the excruciating headache, so he couldn't answer.
When he did not answer, his parents, who believed that something was wrong with Jacob, entered his room and what they saw left them stunned, frozen.
