Transmigration

The eerie stillness of the strange dark cave, punctuated only by the presence of a bizarre, twisted tree, was suddenly shattered by the wailing of my dear system.

"H-Host?"

'...'

"Host... ಥ_ಥ"

'...'

"I think... I made a mistake... ಥ_ಥ"

You think?

After what felt like an eternity, the silence was broken again.

"ಠ_ಠ What? Somehow, my advantages as a system are being restricted... but not everything is affected! Don't worry, I have a plan. My navigator is still working."

'...'

"So, if you can just climb this tree... do you see that big branch to the right? (⌒▽⌒)☞ Do you see it?!"

'...'

"That branch has the right amount of power and flexibility to take us to the other side of that edge. After that, it's only 300 meters, and you'll be out of this cave!"

'...'

"When we get out of here, we'll face a dark forest, but don't worry! Just go in a straight line for about 1.5 kilometers, and you'll find yourself on the main road that leads to the nearest village, which is about 3 kilometers from there."

'...'

"Well, it's true that we might encounter some beasts or maybe even some human-eating plants... From my observations, it seems like we're in a magical fantasy world, so all types of monsters listed in the encyclopedia could be found here. But don't worry! I'll make sure to choose the right path so we can avoid all possible hardships. Besides, I got a full mark in the 'Guess the Organism' test—I know every one of them! (≧∇≦)/"

'...'

"Host?"

'...'

"H-Host?"

'...'

"Are you ignoring me now? ಥ_ಥ"

'...'

"You don't like my plan?!"

"B..."

"I know it... You don't need to finish... ( ཀ͝ ∧ ཀ͝ )"

"... B"

"I know you're disappointed in me. This was supposed to be our vacation! You finally finished your 100 missions, and now I've messed up everything! (இдஇ; )"

"..."

"I don't understand what happened. I'm sure all my calculations were correct—I checked them 10 times before activating the transfer gate. Could it be 003's fault?! He and his stupid host, always trying to act like heroes saving beauties. I was always skeptical about them... Or could it be 456, out for revenge because I didn't want them to tag along?!"

"... Oh, oh! I saw 444 looking at us this morning before transferring. I'm sure he was cursing me because I have such an amazing host! Sob sob (ू˃̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣ ू)... The list is so long, I don't know who could've done this!"

"..."

"I didn't see 002 and 001 last night. They usually stick to you with their hosts, but somehow I didn't see them yesterday. Could it be them?! I knew having a heartthrob host would bring us trouble sooner or later."

"..."

"And now even my host is ignoring me! Sob... (இдஇ; ) But... but... I'm sure my calculations were correct. I chose planet 054f6c, exactly as planned—a small island about 200 km² with no living beings except some small animals. A two-story house with all the windows facing the beach... I took care of all your favorite details! A big kitchen, a library... Oh, I even sneaked in a year's worth of your favorite snacks! And a loooooot of lemon juice!"

"..."

"Oh, oh! And the bedroom with a king-sized bed with a white canopy! (இдஇ; ) I paid attention to even the smallest details. Outside, I even planted a big wisteria tree with a swing so you could enjoy the breeze. I even cleared all my data so I could take serene pictures of you to share with the others and make them jealous! (இдஇ; )"

"..."

"Now I've messed up everything... Even my kind host is ignoring me! Sob sob (இдஇ; )"

'I...'

"See? You're ignoring me now. You must be disappointed in me, aren't you?! You even dismissed my plan..."

'BoBo'.

"Sob sob ".

'Bobob'.

"Sob sob (இдஇ; ) Yes, Host."

"Calm down a bit and listen to me."

"Yes, Host?"

"Good. Baby, I'm not mad at you."

"Really? (இдஇ; )"

"Yes, really. I'm not mad at you. I think there was a problem with the coordinates during the transfer. It's not your fault, so stop blaming yourself."

"Are you sure you're not mad at me for ruining your vacation? (இдஇ; )"

"I told you, I'm not."

"Then... why were you ignoring me and my plans earlier?"

"Bobo, when you look at me, what do you see?"

"Ahem, the most beautiful, stunning, kind host ever! Oh, and you look more angelic right now, how adorable! I mean, those big shiny blue eyes, oh, oh, and the lashes—they feel like I could braid them. And that Cupid's bow mouth—cuteness overload! Alerts 🚨 Alerts! And those golden hair strands, screaming nobility!" Proudly ☆(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*

Giggle "Thanks, baby, but that's not the issue right now."

"Huh? Then what? (◍•ᴗ•◍)"

"Bobo, my body is that of an infant right now."

"Oh... (°o°:)"

"Yeah, maybe less than 3 months old, I assume. I can't even turn around, and my power is locked too. I can't use it, and I don't know if it's temporary or not. Only the storage space is working, and even that has limited access."

"..."

"And that's why your brilliant idea is kinda impossible right now. Do you understand?"

"Oh... (°o°:) I get it. But if you can't get out of here yourself, what should we do?"

"Well, we have two options: either you transform me back right now—since the gate to headquarters is still accessible within 24 hours of transmigration—or..."

"What?! (」°ロ°)」 No, no, no, no, no, no! We finally have our vacation! If we go back, we'll have to wait for another 100 missions. Getting this opportunity was already a miracle. And don't think of dying! Please, let's find another option! (இдஇ; )"

"Then you need to ask for help."

"Huh? (°ロ°) Me?!"

"Yes, my brave system will ask for help and save this feeble host."

"You're right! (≡^∇^≡) Don't worry, Bobo will save the host, and we will enjoy our vacation! Yeah, wait for me—don't go anywhere."

"Sigh, Bobo... I can't move."

"Right! You can't move. I'll be right back, don't worry—I'll save you!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for your rescue."

"Oh, I can't leave you like this. So first, shelter, clothes, and food. Yes, a beautiful bedding and a milk bottle. Host, I left a barrier to protect you just in case."

"I thought your system was locked too!"

"It is locked, but only the market is still working. And right now, only the basics are available... ಥ_ಥ"

"It's okay, this is already good enough. Thanks, dear."

"No problem, Host! (≡^∇^≡) Okay, I'm going now!"

...

So, I think you've already guessed who I am—an unlucky worker from the Transmigration Office. Our job usually involves fixing some characters without changing the story—just an extra character to make sure the worlds aren't destroyed in the end. And 123 is my system, or "Bobo," my cute sphere of adorableness. Even with all his silliness and chatter, he's the one who saved me at the beginning. Without him, I could've still been stuck in that nightmare. And this was supposed to be our vacation. I didn't want to mention it to Bobo, but this whole situation is suspicious.

First, this so-called vacation—no one else has finished their 100th mission yet, so I can't be sure, but I'm certain Bobo wouldn't make such a stupid mistake like incorrect calculations. The data must have been wrong from the start. And I've never heard of a host and system who got their power sealed before. Even if we're on vacation and not on a mission, it's impossible that they wouldn't give us some means of protection or privileges, yet they only provided the basics. So, in conclusion...

Something is wrong with this world, and they kept it a secret! But why? And somehow, Bobo chose it. Probably the world's consciousness is responsible for sealing our powers. But why? Is it permanent, or do I need to meet some conditions to unlock them? Well, let's wait and find out.

Now that I think about it, it suddenly became quiet.

"RAAAAAAWR!".
