Chapter 34 - Emergency?!

[Hentai Protagonist System]2

(*OFFLINE*)

=============================================

Those words in front of me appeared so out of the blue that I couldn't possibly begin to process them immediately.

'Okay... okay... breath... you thought that something like this could happen... don't panic right now...'

I repeated myself those words, trying as best as I could to calm down my heart, that was beating so hard that I was afraid the entire neighborhood would be able to hear.

It took some time but I manage to calm myself down, after repeating those words like a mantra and breathing deeply for what it felt like a million times.

'Good... you are calm now... you considered the possibility of something like this happening before... you haven't lost what you already bought... and you now what is that you need to do first...'

I felt that talking to myself like I was speaking with a third party helped me to keep a stead head, like I was just witnessing the events from an outsider perspective.

Even if they were happening to myself.

Just as I reminded myself the skills that I had already bought from the system, [Pheromone Aura(passive] and [Network Connection], were permanently mine. In the past I had asked the system about them, in the case the system were taken from me for some reason. I didn't like the possibility of becoming completed dependant on something that wasn't really mine and, considering the worst case scenario, wanted to take measures in case it did happen.

To my relief that wouldn't be necessary. Apparently the skills aren't resources unlocked when I buy them, but a series of modifications implemented on my body and te system is simple my way to direct them. That meant that even if the system were to be taken from me someday, which I obviously hoped never came to pass, I still would be able to use the skills afterwords.

As I felt myself calm down, after what felt like an eternity, I was able to think more clearly, which lead me to relax a little.

Things hadn't just turned to the worst right now.

The fact that I still could the see the screen with the name indicated that the system hadn't simple disappeared, which was a good thing, but still indicated that something was going on.

And right now there was only one thing that give me an answer.

'System, are you still there'

[Affirmative]

'Ahhhh, thank gooodness'

I felt myself more relieved that I thought to be possible from seeing a simple word in front of me. I actually had to sit down on my bed, because I felt like the last few seconds had drained me from any energy I still might have.

The possibility of losing the system was more terrifying then I thought it would be.

I suddenly wanted to just lie down and sleep, but first I had to at least obtain some answers about the situation.

I couldn't just contend myself with simple knowing that the system was still active.

'System, what does being 'offline' means?'

[All functions pertaining pertaining modification and examination are temporarily shut down. Host will currently be unable to examine anything that the system is capable to provide]

'...for how long?'

[Unknown]

I felt myself growing frustrated with the system and that answer. There was no way I could simple accept that the functions the system provided were just suddenly out of my reach, but I also knew that throwing a tantrum wouldn't change anything.

As I interacted with the system over the past two years I learned not only about it's functions, but also about how exactly it operated, The system wasn't some kind of AI, it didn't have an intelligence of it's own, so it wasn't able to provide me with answers to every single questions I had. It could only give me prerecorded answers to questions related to it's own abilities. Anything outside of it's own capabilities was also outside the answers it could provide me.

I was about to ask another question, when the system showed me another phrase.

[Host received a message]

And before I could ponder even think about asking which message, the system showed it to me.

[Message: We will answer your questions about this later, when we meet again.]

As I read the message I began to ponder about who sent it to me. It didn't really take a genius to know who sent it, especially considered how it ended.

Eros and Anteros.

As those two years passed, I sometimes wondered if I would meet those two siblings again. When I wasn't improving my relationship with my family or asking questions to the system about it's functionalists, I tried to enter in contact of those two again. I tried to simple talk alone, pray, ask to the system to contact them and even went to a temple one time, but nothing I did ever seemed to catch their attention.

I had questions to make for them, specially in regard of why they gave the system to me in the first place. I might want to enjoy my new life with my new family, but I wasn't naive enough to believe that they simple gave the system and this new life out of their kindness.

They wanted something. I know this. An it seems like I will soon find out what.

For whatever reason they apparently are responsible for the system currently be unavailable, and they would enter in contact with me soon.

'Considering that I'm still here, it probably will happen in the next few days or during my sleep. Either way, there's nothing else I can do'

I felt tired, but the last few minutes had left me restless. This unnerving event of thinking, even if for a second, that the system might be unavailable for me manage to blow away any tiredness that I felt.

Just as I was wondering how the hell I would be able to sleep for the time being...

*Knock*Knock*Knock*

Someone knocked on my door.
