Chapter 1 - Part 1

The sky was dark, a single, shining star twinkling in the endless void. He stood alone, a humanoid alien in the middle of nowhere, his skin faintly glowing under the starlight, his eyes reflecting the distant light. Strange, unfamiliar devices hovered around him, their holographic displays showing streams of information about the place he had somehow arrived in.

Suddenly, a massive rock shot toward his ship. It slammed into the vessel with a deafening crash, jolting him violently and forcing it forward. Ahead, a swirling black hole appeared, pulling with an unstoppable gravity. The ship screamed as it was sucked into the void, swallowed whole by darkness.

When he opened his eyes, the chaos was gone. He found himself in a completely different place, calm and bright in comparison, though surreal. Words floated all around him, glowing and shifting in midair: "Your registration is complete. You may now draw your luck in finding an owner."

Before he could process it, his hand brushed against a button—accidentally pressing it.

Immediately, a new message flashed: "Congratulations! Your draw is complete. You are now officially a registered system."

He blinked, stunned. Nothing about this place, these words, or the title "system" made any sense—but somehow, it was real.

As the glowing words faded, a new interface appeared before him, clearer this time, almost like a script scrolling in midair.

"System target: Kael Zeth, 19 years old, college student. Life status: average. Mission: guide to greatness."

The words seemed to pulse with purpose. He read the name again—Kael Zeth. A human, fragile and unaware, living a normal, unremarkable life. Yet somehow, it was his responsibility now.

A strange sense of focus settled over him. For the first time, he felt complete control over his alien body, as if every movement, every thought, responded instantly to his will. The unfamiliar devices around him weren't just displays—they were tools, extensions of his mind, perfectly attuned to his alien senses.

He experimented. With a thought, he could analyze the space around him, understand structures, energies, and patterns he had never noticed before. With a gesture, he accessed information that seemed impossible to hold all at once. Each skill, strange and alien, made the world clearer.

It was as if his senses had been unlocked, upgraded, tuned to a level beyond human comprehension. He could feel the rhythm of Kael Zeth's life somewhere far away, subtle pulses of choices and chances, and he understood that these skills weren't just for observation—they were the key to guiding his target to greatness.

A quiet thrill ran through him. Finally, he was ready to step into his role as a system, fully aware, fully capable, and utterly focused.

Then a mischievous grin spread across his face. Being alone on the ship had been… boring. But this—this new existence, these strange powers, the mission, the unknown human far away—it was fun. Finally, he had something to play with, a game where the stakes were high, and the possibilities infinite.

And now, as he opened his eyes fully, he realized something extraordinary: he wasn't alone in knowing about systems. This world… systems were everywhere. Known, relied upon, even feared. Every street, every building, every screen he glimpsed in this strange new reality pulsed with acknowledgment of beings like him.

For the first time, he felt both at home and… excited. In a world where systems were common, his alien abilities weren't just special—they could bend the rules, manipulate destiny, and make the "game" far more interesting than he had imagined.He stepped—or rather appeared—into the city, and everything hit him at once. Neon lights reflected off sleek buildings, digital billboards scrolled messages about system rankings, and holographic guides waved at citizens, offering assistance. Everyone moved with purpose, yet all eyes occasionally flicked to the systems walking among them.

Humans and systems alike seemed intertwined in a delicate dance: some relying on their systems to make choices, others competing for advantages, and some simply fearing them. He felt it all—the excitement, the tension, the subtle fear humans carried toward beings like him—and it made a low hum of amusement ripple through him.

Then, a pulse far away caught his attention. A soft, irregular rhythm—human, fragile, completely untrained. Kael Zeth. The system interface in his mind flared, overlaying information he could barely believe: age, location, habits, tendencies… life potential.

He tilted his head, studying the human from afar. Kael was walking through campus, textbooks under one arm, earbuds in, completely oblivious to the invisible game around him. Average. Mundane. Perfect.

A smirk crept across his face. This was going to be fun. With his alien perception and the knowledge of the world's systems, he could manipulate events subtly, test outcomes, and nudge Kael toward greatness—while enjoying every second of it.

He floated slightly above the crowd, unseen and unnoticed, his senses stretching across the city. Every choice Kael made, every path he almost took, was visible. And for the first time, he felt alive in a way the lonely ship could never offer.

This world wasn't just about survival anymore. It was a playground, a challenge, and Kael Zeth was his first move.He watched Kael weaving through the crowded campus, earbuds in, oblivious to the world around him. Students jostled past, dropping books or bumping into one another, but Kael moved like a leaf in the wind—careless, distracted, ordinary.

A pile of scattered papers tumbled from a student's bag directly into Kael's path. Most humans would stumble, maybe curse under their breath, or watch the papers flutter away. He smiled—this was perfect. With the faintest flicker of thought, a small gust of wind nudged the papers aside, guiding them harmlessly to the ground out of Kael's way.

Kael paused, blinking, a faint sense of curiosity crossing his face. "Huh… that's weird," he muttered to himself, shrugging and continuing on his way.

From above, the alien leaned closer, invisible and untouchable, feeling a surge of amusement. Yes… this is fun. With nothing but subtle manipulation, he could direct Kael's path, protect him from harm, or… maybe even accelerate his rise in ways the human couldn't comprehend.

He tapped into his interface, observing Kael's thoughts and tendencies. A test of choices, a nudge here, a minor intervention there—it was like a game. A game with real stakes, real consequences, and a human at its center.

The alien's grin widened. This was just the beginning. Kael Zeth, completely unaware, was now officially in his world, and the rules of the game had already begun to change.Days passed, and the alien's subtle influence over Kael continued—but now, Kael began noticing something new.

On a quiet afternoon in his dorm, Kael rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Sitting on his desk was a tiny, chibi-like figure, glowing faintly, with oversized eyes and a mischievous grin. It looked like a system avatar straight out of a game—or so Kael assumed.

"Huh… another system?" Kael whispered. Systems were common in this world, after all. He leaned closer, curiosity piqued.

The alien tilted his head, chibi form bouncing slightly, arms crossed. A playful pulse of light emanated from him, as if saying: I see you. Don't worry—I'm here to help.

Kael blinked, slightly cautious but not afraid. "Okay… I guess you're mine now?" he asked, still assuming this was just another normal system.

The alien's tiny form gave a little nod, spinning lightly in the air. He could feel Kael's thoughts, habits, and potential, but to Kael, he was just a cute companion—an ordinary system that could offer guidance.

From that moment, their "relationship" began. The alien could now interact visually, sending playful gestures, subtle hints, or tiny nudges—all while keeping his true, alien identity hidden. And the fun… oh, the fun had just begun.

Above the city, invisible to everyone else, he floated, enjoying the game: guiding, protecting, teasing, and manipulating outcomes—all in plain sight yet completely unseen for what he truly was.

Perfect, he thought. A cute system to a human, chaos and amusement to me. And Kael Zeth doesn't even know he's dealing with an alien.We can continue the story like this: the alien guides Kael step by step, boosting his abilities, confidence, and awareness—without Kael realizing the alien is secretly pulling the strings.

Here's the next scene showing how he starts making Kael stronger while keeping the chibi, playful facade:

Kael sat in the library, struggling to focus on his textbooks. Normally, he would have sighed, closed his notebook, and called it a day.

The chibi system hovered beside him, bouncing slightly, glowing softly. A tiny finger pointed at a tricky equation. Kael blinked. Somehow… the answer seemed to make sense. Step by step, insight flowed to him, subtle but undeniable.

"Wow… I think I finally get it," Kael muttered, smiling, unaware that it wasn't just his brain working harder—his system was gently nudging his understanding, strengthening his logic and focus.

Later, on the basketball court, Kael's timing felt uncanny. He dodged opponents, made unexpected plays, and even scored a near-impossible basket. The chibi system floated above, giggling silently, sending tiny pulses that sharpened Kael's reflexes and coordination.

Every interaction was small, subtle, harmless—and yet each step made Kael stronger, more confident, and more capable. He began noticing improvements in himself but assumed it was luck or sudden effort.

The alien grinned, enjoying every moment. This was more than just fun—it was a game, a challenge, and a mission all at once. He could shape Kael's path, help him grow, and playfully test the limits of his power—all while Kael thought he was just a cute, helpful system.

Perfect, the alien thought, bouncing slightly in his chibi form. Step by step, I'll make him strong… and he won't even know why.
