[DING] [TING] [TIDING]
[FINALLY , FOUND YOU. ]
[DID YOU MISS ??? ]
Rio stood up with a shock as he looked around frantically for the source of the voice, but still couldn't find anything.
[Hey, stop looking around like an idiot]
[And answer my question, did you miss ?]
Rio heard the voice again, sa voice as her, the playful insults, the teasing tone - he was all too familiar with it. There were only very few people who would talk to him like that, and this voice belonged to soone he loved the most.
"R _ Ria" Despite his doubtful expression a smile ca to his face, at the thought of seeing her again.
'Is it her ghost again or another illusion.' He thought as he started walking in the darkness faster hoping to see her again. It has been nearly a month in Arcadia and who knows how long in the darkness, that he hasn't seen her, and as always she was here for him when he was feeling lost again. His heart felt warm with that thought.
"Ria" He shouted as he still couldn't see her.
[Sigh, why're you calling her na now.]
[And can you please stop fooling around, I'm in your head]
Rio's steps ca to a halt as he heard her voice, he was so happy to hear her voice again that he couldn't even focus from where it ca from.
"What?" Rio said as his face turned serious, his voice sounding much colder than before as one possibility ca to his mind, that it was all soone's illusion, that she wasn't real and soone was just playing tricks with his brain.
The mories of a scene that happened during one of his therapy sessions back on Earth ca to his mind and the results it led to. Let's not talk about the therapist and his conditions after trying to use hypnosis on him to get rid of his trauma. That was why Shiva hated the therapy and never went there again.
[Can you stop with your depressing thoughts, It's ruining our reunion.] - Her voice sounded again in his head.
"What, sorry, I didn't an to Ri_." As he heard her voice which sounded a little mad, almost instinctively he replied with an apology until he realised about the illusion again and stopped.
'Is it Kali, is this her way to say that she knows about my past.' Rio's fist clenched as he rembered his prior illusion of Goddess and thought this was her doing too. It made perfect sense in his mind as without the protection of the world system his brain was open for anyone to control and she was the only God near him during his awakening.
'If it's her then _ ' Rio's anger was rising as the thought of soone using Ria's mory to play tricks with him, was the worst thing to do. Fuck Gods and everyone else, she was off limits , for everyone.
His thoughts about anger were going haywire when he heard the voice again - [I'm not an illusion dummy, I only ca because you called.]
"What, WHO ARE YOU?" Rio asked as he felt confused hearing her words.
[I'm your system. Didn't you call for just now.]
[And then you didn't even answer my question when I ca.]
Hearing the sa tone as her, but then calling herself a system confused Rio. As no matter how capable the world system was,it wasn't capable of conversation, but here it was. Soone or sothing using the sa voice as Ria claiming to be his system. He would've doubted the voice but as soon as it finished speaking a blue screen ca in his view, it had the sa viewing panel as the world system of Arcadia.

[So do you believe now] the voice sounded again excited.
"The world system doesn't talk." Rio said as he started to calm down a little, the anger from before was there, but the doubts and possibility of the unknown got the better of him after he saw the transparent panel, so he decided to ask the voice.
[Ohh that's cause we aren't from the world called Arcadia, are we.]
[That's why I'm different]
"Why are you talking to in Ria's voice?" Rio asked the question that bugged him the most, he could accept the unknown and everything, but the fact that this system was talking to him in Ria's voice was still questionable.
[Ohh that's because you wished for it.]
", I didn't even know about you monts ago." Rio asked as he couldn't believe what that voice said.
[Not now, I was actually going to rge while you were in the darkness, but you got pulled out before it was supposed to happen.]
[While you were getting out, the last thing you asked for was to hear this girl's voice, so now that I'm here, as a sign of goodwill and my greatness, I learned it.]
The system's boastful words were cut short as Rio's cold voice reverberated in the darkness- "Change it."
[Did I get sothing wrong, I'm pretty sure I copied her perfectly though] the system was confused as it only followed what its host wished for.
The system had watched all of Shiva's mories while he was in the darkness, but it still couldn't understand why its host was now angry after hearing the voice he wished for in the darkness. *** It was because in the darkness even when Shiva went through all his mories, he had felt at peace and no regrets were haunting him after his death. But since he rged with Rio and started living in Arcadia and got to experience everything again in his visions and nightmares, all that pain and regrets ca back.
_
"Change your voice, I won't ask it again." Rio said again, Though it felt nice to him to hear Ria's voice in his head again, but knowing she wasn't here, and it was just so system using her voice still couldn't sit well with his consciousness.
He had no problem with seeing her ghost or talking to that illusion, as he couldn't control it, but now knowing the system, he wasn't willing to let it have her voice and play with his emotions, it felt like cheating. It was like asking soone to cosplay as her and act like her just so he couldn't rember her and replace her with soone else. So he asked his newly awakened system to change her voice.
[Fine]

Fuuhh, seriously you should learn to be calm a little. Your habits are really out of control these days.
You were so much calr in the darkness]
The system spoke after changing her voice and way of speaking to another feminine voice, if before it's voice and personality was sweet, playful and teasing , then now it had changed into a gentle, calm and a little mature tone.
The system wanted to ask for its host's opinion but before it could do that, it felt that sothing was wrong with its host, and it made the system doubt if it had made another mistake sohow.
(What did I do now, it was only the 2nd voice he wished to hear. Don't tell I have to change it again.)
The system thought as it could now feel the different raging emotions going through in Rio's head and when it saw the tightly clenched fists & his eyes turning red in anger, its premonitions ca true.
(Fuck) was the last thought it could have before the system heard it's host's cold voice dripped in anger again.
