"Okay, I really hate riddles. Tell who, or what you are. Else I will leave, and if worse co I kill myself, as much as it pains to die it is probably better than this misery."
"Urgh! Please don't." The voice said sounding as if its was almost desperate, but Bernard could sense the 'go ahead if you can,' oozing from its tone.
"Enough, with the riddles and this, is your last chance before I do sothing crazy," Bernard said. " What the heck are you?"
"I'm sorry dear, Host. I can't tell you who or what am I, but you will get the chance to know about in the near future."
"However, all I can tell you is that am a symbiote creature. Without a Host, I am less symbiote."
Hearing this, Bernard's mind was suddenly overwheld, incapable of any thoughts besides movies, cartoons, and jokes.
"What does that have to do with ?"
"Well, back in my world. Every symbiote creature is required to possess a human for them to be to have access to their innate abilities.
"We are only allowed to possess one Host, in our lives except our Host perishes then we are once again free, but only for a limited period of ti before they die." The cat said, however, there was a bit of irony in it's voice.
"Okay, that's aweso and kind of sad. However, let get this straight you are one of those symbiote creatures who have already lost their host and probably seeking another in order to survive? Plus, if you don't possess soone you will die soon?" Bernard said, waiting for the cat to confirm his statent.
"Sadly, all your statents are correct." The cat nodded.
"That ans, you also ain't calling Host because I was kind to you or sothing. But because I was all that was needed for you to stay alive. That makes nothing but a life-supporting system for you?"
"That is not exactly correct. But yes you the Host is like an off-brand life supporting system to us, and we also serve as a symbiote to the Host in return.
"Which ans, it is a fair trade, you be my life-supporting system, and I will be your all-powerful symbiote."
"You say what?"
"I am no parasite, but a symbiote. After all, we both benefits from each other." Cat said, before its licked its paw.
"How?"
As soon as Bernard said those words, a status screen could be seen gradually materializing in front of him out of thin air.
[Host: Bernard Cat]
[Race: Human]
[Level: 1]
[Exp: 0/100]
[Hp: 10/10]
[Strength: 10]
[Agility: 10]
[Stamina: 10]
"Wow! A system a freaking real system?" Bernard said, his voice filled with disbelief.
It was almost as if he was in those system novels he had once read. Bernard stared at the tabs with widened eyes, the more he saw the more he found it to be unbelievable.
As he stared at the tabs, and read their content in his mind, without even doing anything and just by staring at them, more stabs were displayed until they eventually reach the end of the first panel, and another tab automatically replaced the old one.
This ti it was replaced by a tab written at the very top of the panel nad [Host Skills].
[Host Skills]
[Non-existent skills points]
[Non-existent skills]
.....
It was a strange thing probably out of this world experience, yet he couldn't stop himself or his mind, as curiosity fuelled his mind and thoughts.
With no money and no friends to take themselves out to play gas, this was the first ti Bernard got to know what a ga might feel like. Looking at the skills tab, made him disappointed as he stole a glance at the cat that seed to ignore his gaze by continuing licking its paw.
Besides the first panel, everything on the second panel was nothing more than exotic items he couldn't afford.
So, just like that, he moved onto the third tab that quickly replaced the second one.
[Host Shop]
[Non-existent shop until Host et requirents for activation]
"So this is just a sham, if not why are all the good stuff non-existent?" Bernard said a bit annoyed, as he stared at the cat waiting for its response.
"Don't be quick to judge. Why don't you check the Quest?" The cats said, staring at Bernard with what would be a cat putting on a frightening smug grin.
The mont the cat said that a [Quest] tab imdiately replaced the third tab. Finally sothing good, Bernard thought to himself before he checked the tab.
[Host Quest]
[Main Quest: Reach level 10]
[Daily Quest: 'ow' Five tis]
[Reward: Five Exp]
After reading the words written on the panel, Bernard finally understood why the cat had a smug look on its expression. However, he wasn't that bothered about it, as long as there were benefits soon he gradually got the hang of the system.
There was another thought in his mind at the mont, all this ain't free right? What does its really want from ?
While it was a piece of great news for him, Bernard wouldn't believe all this was for free. An orphan knew best than anyone, anything free cos with a prize.
"What do you want from ?" Bernard finally asked, after he finally cald down.
"Our minds are now linked together, it's easier to show you than explaining everything."
Just when Bernard was wondering what its ant, his mind was suddenly overwheld by images and thoughts that were not part of his mories.
If not for the weird things that had been happening so far, he would have probably thought it was his own.
Bernard could see a world, with a multitude of streaming rays landing suddenly it shuddered fiercely with loud explosions basically appearing in every nook and cranny of the place. Death of animal creatures that called themselves beast race, were growing non-stop.
All these had happened, when a large fortress filled celestials ca into the picture of a peace-loving world several centuries ago...
The so-called celestials had flagships so large, it seed like the moon was covering the atmosphere of the earth, the whole structure was gigantic pulsing with a trendous amount of energy from thrusters, their numbers were endless each the sky was overwheld by billions of light rays representing spaceship.
Each part of the sky was filled with wormholes, where the celestial spaceships kept on appearing from, it was like the sky had suddenly beco fragile yet it wasn't broken spewing out different grades of gigantic spaceships.
At so point, the mont the owners of these spaceships opened their cabins war broke out without any form of negotiation between the two. Even though this race was strong, the beast race decided to fight for their ho, however, they quickly realized they were still losing no matter how hard they fought.
Soon afterward, every individual beast was included in the war regardless of gender and age, in as much they could fight. The war went on with the celestials almost achieving victory without any effort, their troops were endless as psionic energy shot out from their black weapons.
