- I told you, for one of us to live the other has to die ..
He exclaimed a warm voice that conveyed sadness and pain even though his face could not be distinguished
- You've already done a lot for me, so please..
Let me do it for you

- But what?
Lying in the middle of a forest, Arthur woke up completely stunned as he tried to clear his sight and see his surroundings
- ¿Where Am I?
The last thing he remembered was that he was on his way to college and fell asleep on the way.
As he tried to understand his situation, his heart rate accelerated as a fear began to invade his whole body
- Why?... How?
He sat slowly on the wide land full of vegetation while taking a few deep breaths to calm down
- I.. eh.. Transmigrated?
Arthur exclaimed the first thing that came to his mind, he was not ignorant of that word since after all he had read countless light novels related to that genre
Despite the fact that I wish with force on several occasions that he will go through the same situation as those protagonists, right now I just wanted to just go home
- No, impossible
He tried to deny his situation thinking that he possibly had one more accident, however something inside him told him that he was completely wrong
-Well.. ok, if this is the same as those novels then there should be some kind of system, right?
Tried to accept his situation, after a few seconds of silence he decided to speak with doubt in his voice
- System?
[Welcome to Host, I welcome you to this new world and the beginning of this "adventure"]
A robotic voice echoed in his mind as a chill ran down Arthur's back
- I don't know whether to laugh or cry
He exclaimed without knowing how to really feel at this time, the situation was so unrealistic that he doubted if this was real and not some kind of lucid dream so he decided to get straight to the point
- System, what options and what kind of advantages can you offer me?
[None, I am more a guide that this world can offer and to a certain extent a System of options that will help you choose the most accurate decision according to the situation]
- Basically, a kind of assistant, right?
[In short, yes]
- Then there is no probability of a system of levels, rewards, gacha store or anything.. Right?
Arthur asked waiting for a positive answer while imagining infinite possibilities but above all the tranquility of surviving
But the next thing he heard was like a direct blow to the stomach
[Why should you have something like that?]
The cold and robotic voice of the system echoed in his mind like lightning in the middle of a storm of emotions
- What... do you mean?
[Because you should have that kind of System you]
He repeated the system again as if it were a child with whom he was talking
The mere question made a feeling of resentment and fury arise inside Arthur's body and made him get up from the ground
- Why!? I was dragged to this place against my will, it's the least you can offer me
Within Arthur's logic, the one who is forced to do something against his will should have the privilege of receiving something good in return even if it was unrealistic
[Is that the only reason you should have something like that? I'm sorry, but that's not how it works. You are not the first nor will you be the last to have been summoned Host.]
[That you have been invoked to this world does not give you the right to receive something like that. You are not special Alfitrion and if you were, do you deserve it?]
Arthur was silent processinghe couldn't help but get discouraged but a question came to his mind
- Do you know how I got here?
[Yes, someone used "Vacium" magic to make an invocation that brought you here]
Magic of Vacium? Can you explain what it is?
[The magic of the "Vacium" as its name tells it, comes from the emptiness itself. It is believed that it was the first type of magic that existed before there were variants such as Fire magic, ice and etc.]
- You said I'm not the first and I won't be the last. Do you mean there are more Transmigrated or summoned now?
[Yes and no, 137 years ago they stopped appearing more summoned, however 21 years ago cases began to arise again]
- System, how long ago did this whole thing really start?
[A little more than 500 years approximately]
-Is there any way to return home?
[Learn Magic from the void or find the summoner although I want to clarify that learning Magic from the void is extremely difficult if not impossible, only those who are descendants of that magic are the most likely to master it]
Arthur was silent without really knowing what to do, the situation itself was complicated and it was nothing like the stories and novels he had read during his free time
Giving a sigh of resignation and keeping the growing anxiety in him, Arthur began to walk to get out of that rough forest that surrounded him
- System, you said you're like an assistant, right? So is there a town nearby?
[ There is a town called Roxbort, it is 2km south of your position, if you have good resistance you should arrive in 30 minutes if you follow the road that is near here]
Memorizing the information given, Arthur was able to find the way easily while looking scanned with the gaze the extensive field while in the distance he could see the not so small town of Roxborg
- Well, here we go
As he resumed his way, he couldn't help but feel the feeling that someone was watching him in the distance, however, when he looked around him, he didn't see anything.
- Why don't I feel uncomfortable?
He asked the air however he did not stay there to find out an answer and accelerated his pace while the extensive forest was left behind
And despite that, the words of the System were stuck directly in his mind and were constantly repeated
[You're not special, Host. And if you were, do you deserve it?]
End of chapter
Ahh man, I'm really excited to write this story.
I admit that it is not the first time I write but it is the first one I have planned and it is so to speak "Original"
Anyway, maybe one question they have is what kind of system Arthur has, the answer is simple. Have you played Destroit: Become Human?
Well, I'm implementing that type of system but with a "own personality", you can see it as a type of Cortana from Halo but at the same time not. Why not? Well, it will be explained later.
English is not my original language so any errors I would be very grateful if you told me.
All comments are welcome since they will help me improve not only the story but as a writer so I hope to read them soon
See you soon!
