CH.250 System Agent

CH.250 System Agent

“I apologize for bothering your sleep, but the Goddess requested that I get in contact with you.” An older male figure dressed up in a tuxedo said to me as he bowed. By my estimation, he was 70-ish years old, about 175cm tall, and he had short grayed out hair. His eyes were a soft green color and despite his apparent age, he had a real nice posture.

I looked around. I was in a relatively normal looking parlor room, and I was sitting at a small circular table. It was the only table in the room and it had a total of four chairs around it. Other than that, the room had a fireplace, a nice looking chandelier, a handful of tapestries and some paintings. It looked like a relatively normal parlor room you might see in any noble’s mansion, except that I didn’t see any doors leading in or out of the room, nor were there any windows.

“... where am I?” I questioned. I should be sleeping, so this might be a dream, but considering what he just said, I doubt that.

“Yes. I shall explain. This is a space between spaces. The Goddess said I should compare it to your skill, Different Dimension Factory I believe it was called. This is the space where us, the ones who run the system, can interact with those who hold the System Support like you.” The butler explained. Wait. Is he even a butler? Well, until I know what he is, butler it is.

“... alright. And why am I here again? And may I ask who you are? I assume you know who I am, but for introductions sake, I’m Brian Wood, but just call me Brian.” I introduced myself.

“As you wish, Brian. As I said earlier, I’m here at the request of the Goddess, but I cannot say that I didn’t have my own agenda as well. I’ve brought you here for a short discussion. My name, granted to me by my lady Ritva, is Aulis.” The butler introduced himself.

... those names... Ritva. Aulis. They sound familiar... Where do I know them from?

“... alright, Aulis.” I said to bring my thoughts back to here and now. I can think about those names later. “If the Goddess asked you to get in contact with me, I assume it has something to do with that system mission reward, right?”

“That is correct. She has requested that I be the contact between the two of you until a time when you will be able to meet.”

“Okay. So, when will that be?”

“It may take time. I hope you understand that the Goddess is quite busy.”

... yeah. Doesn’t feel like that, when she, or whoever else gives me my missions, has time to sass me. ... or is the one giving the missions someone like him, instead of the Goddess?

“Alright. So this is just a ... warning?”

“At least call it an advance notification.”

“Either way. So, when can she see me?”

“It isn’t that simple. Other than you, she also requested the presence of Holder Lucia and Holder Alice Mana Watchman.”

Alice Mana? ... Did Alice take on a second name because of the fusion? Well, it will likely go away after I defuse her.

“So Lua and Alice. Also, what is a holder?”

“It is short for System Support Holder.” Aulis answered.

“... Wait? Alice has the System Support?”

“Yes. She was granted a Basic System Support after she defeated the behemoth.”

“... alright. I mean, I thought that might be possible. But why us three?”

“Because you are all Holders, and you know each other.”

“... okay. So, are we going to get in contact like this, until the Goddess will be able to see us or something? I guess we will also have to wait until Alice wakes up...”

“That is correct. Now, may I get on with my own business?”

“...sure. Go for it.”

“Thank you. This won’t take long so you may rest for the rest of the night. I’d just like to thank you for your part in bringing the prophecy to life. It was one that really bothered my lady all until her passing, she was worried if it would actually come to be as she saw it.” Aulis said.

“Yeah. No problem.” I answered, before I really let everything sink in. “... wait? Your lady? She is the one who made the prophecy? And she is the one who named you? ... So your lady was the first summoner?”

“That is correct.” He confirmed.

“... and you were ... her System Support, right?” I confirmed.

“Yes. That is indeed correct.” Aulis confirmed.

“... then ... what are you now?”

“We are called System Agents.” Aulis said. “After the passing of a Holder, their System Support is taken back to the System where they become an agent. Their duties then depend on their grade, as well as what their Holder did during their life.”

“... okay. And your job is..? Or is it a secret?”

“I have a handful of duties, but the most important one is being responsible for my Ladies' prophecies.” Aulis said. “I believe you don’t know much about Divination magic and specifically the Prophecy spell, do you?”

“No. Not really. I thought it was just foreseeing an event.”

“In its simplest form, yes, but that should be done with the spell ‘Foresight’. Prophet is quite different. When the caster sees an event, generally a catastrophe of some kind, they are able to imagine the solution to it. Then, if people believe in the prophecy, mana will be accumulated by it. Mana that will then be used to bring that prophecy to life. That is the true power of a prophecy, and why I’ve been made to be in charge of my Ladies’ prophecies. I guide the mana they have collected, so it may be used to bring the prophecies to life.”

“... so, let me check if I have this right. Your Lady foresaw the behemoth reappearing. And she imagined a blond haired magician taking it down. And because it became a pseudo legend in Alewatch, enough power was accumulated to make that into reality?”

“Yes. That is what happened.” Aulis confirmed. “However, my Ladies’ prophecy also didn’t come true. First, the behemoth. What she saw was a lesser behemoth, like the one she fought, not a true behemoth like the one that appeared. Second, the dimensional fissure was not what she saw. Third, the lesser behemoth appeared from the ever forest. Fourth, the magician that took it down used wind magic, not dark magic.”

“... that is a lot of discrepancies.”

“Yes, and those are only the major ones. But I believe I know why. Simply put, it is because of you.”

“... wow. Thanks. Putting all the pressure on me.”

“Not in that way. I’ve followed the situation in the ever forest close to Alewatch somewhat closely. I believe the dungeon you eliminated was supposed to give birth to the lesser behemoth. The rogue core of the dungeon becoming the monster core of the lesser behemoth. Then that lesser behemoth goes to Alewatch, where Holder Alice Mana Watchman, well I suppose the fusion wouldn’t have happened, so it would have been individual Alice Watchman. Either way, she would have been taken over by the power of the prophecy. That power granting her access to her dormant wind magic and allowing her to take the lesser behemoth down. That was the closest to what my Lady saw. But none of that could happen, because you eliminated the dungeon.”

“... I see. So instead a dimensional fissure pooped out a true behemoth, huh. I think I got it. But why did that dimensional fissure even show up? What even is a dimensional fissure?”

“That is above my grade. I believe the Goddess will explain that to you.”

“... alright. I guess I’ll look forward to that.”

“Yes. You should.” Aulis said. “Now, I shall return you back into your body so you can rest peacefully for the rest of the night, unless you have something else you wish to ask.”

“... Can I get in contact with you later?” I asked.

“And now a super rare. The chances of getting a super rare after an ultra rare are about 0.7%” Tahlia said.

“Alright. Thanks for the info.”

“And another super rare. Now the chances are 0.12%” Tahlia said.

“Thanks. Now how about the chances of us pulling the Fire Charmer?” I asked. “There are 35 commons in this set, and each pack has seven or eight commons.”

After a time so short I doubt Tahlia could have calculated it, she gave an answer. “22.86% chance of getting it in a pack.”

... I honestly have no clue if that is true or not, but it might be.

Let’s just open the next pack.

“And now an Ultimate Rare... What even are the chances?” Tahlia was questioning as she looked at the next pack.

But honestly, I never have luck this good. Well, I’ve had luck this good maybe once after getting Pack Opener. Maybe the Goddess is sending me extra luck to make up for everything that happened yesterday. Too bad it was used on a UR version of a card I already got.

Anyway, next pack.

Actually a regular pack, with nothing special in it. That is almost more rare than a pack with a super/ultra rare card at this point. Still no Fire Charmer though.

Next.

TLM 7

Gift of the Martyr, Wynn the Wind Charmer, Lost Guardian, Aussa the Earth Charmer, Eria the Water Charmer, Monk Fighter, Guardian Statue, King of the Skull Servants, Token Feastevil

Oh, would you look at that? All Charmers in one pack, except fire. I just can’t charm fire today.

Also, Gift of the MartyrEffect: Send 1 monster on your side of the field to the Graveyard. Select 1 monster on your side of the field. The selected monster gains ATK equal to the ATK of the sent monster until the end of this turn. is actually quite interesting for me. It is basically useless in normal Yugioh, but for me, it is actually quite amazing. Tributing a monster so someone can temporarily hold all of that monster's power could be useful.

And King of the Skull Servants is just a fun card. To use in a game of Yugioh I mean. What is more fun than summoning a level 1 monster with 10,000 plus attack?

“There is the Fire Charmer.” I said as I spotted the card.

“Yes! Now we can all dress-up.” Fantasia said.

Laura and I went along with her idea, swapping our clothes for the Fire Charmer’s and the Earth Charmer’s respectfully.

Let's do two more packs. Maybe I can get one of the HERO fusions.

“Nice. Flame Wingman.” A great pack to end on. A real bang. And unlike with Thunder Giant, I actually got both the materials for Flame Wingman. How did I not pull a Clayman? Well, it doesn't matter. I’ll get it at some point.

“Laura, don’t open any of the new packs until I give permission, okay? I just want to open some myself before you fully complete them.”

“As you wish.” She agreed.

After a bit more hanging out, I returned to the real world.
