Blink. Blink, blink—

Opening his eyes, Yu Yan stared at the metallic wall. The same eyes and the same facial features stared right back at him. His red cinnabar just after the corner of his right eye. The only difference was he was a lot younger. 

Sixteen? No, seventeen maybe?

Yu Yan sat up from the bunker bed attached to the wall. Scanning his surroundings, he finds an odd metallic bracelet on his wrist. Just as he saw it, it lit up and voice sounded in his mind.

『 Good evening. My name is Prototype System 8026. 』

『 System? 』 Yu Yan tried thinking of answering back in his mind, and he was surprised when the system heard him and replied.

『 That is correct. All part-timers are given a prototype system by Heaven's Library as a gift. In return, please give us your feedback and suggestions so that our technical department may improve the functions. You are also free to propose any additional features that you think a guide system necessitates. 』

『 I see. Then what does 8026 have in store for me?  』

『 Prototype System 8026 has no storage function. Feedback sent. 』

『 It's just a metaphor. You don't have to take it seriously. It's not like I expected that much emotion or humor from a prototype system anyway. 』

『 Prototype System 8026 has no emotions database. Feedback sent.  』

『 Prototype System 8026 has no humor packet. Feedback sent. 』

『 ... 』

Yu Yan pursed his lips, and stood up to look around the empty room.

『 Alright, Eight. Can you tell me where am I or do you have to send a feedback for it? 』

『 System rename successful. Feedback unnecessary. To answer Part-Timer 0000993828's quest— 』

『 Call me Master and I'll call you little Eight. Also, be a little less stiff with me if you can. 』

『 Understood, Master. 』

『 Then? Where are we? 』

『 Congratulations on your first world trajectory, Master. We are currently inside a cruise ship going to the main star city of the  Blue Star Empire. I'll be responsible for alerting and assuring the protection of Master during your stay in your first world. Would you like to read the world's background? 』

『 No, for once, let's go for spontaneity.  』 Yu Yan smiled. He was always planning and scheming in that palace. For a simple unplanned thing, Yu Yan was already quite happy, though it did not show in his expressionless face. Years of facial training was hard to ignore in just a few days after all.

『 Caution! The cruiser has been sieged by space pirates. 』

Space pirates? Yu Yan wondered and continued to ask various clarifying questions to Xiao Ba (Little Eight) until he was satisfied. Yu Yan frowned slightly. Was the world he choose supposed to be this modern? Sure, he chose the third book out of the three to satiate his curiosity regarding medicine.

『 Next time, alert me much earlier for any event worth noting. 』

『 Understood, Master. For further system upgrades, a feedback has been sent.  』

After contemplating for a while, Yu Yan gave in to his curiosity and asked Xiao Ba for the world's background. As he read through each page, Yu Yan's complexion turned paler and paler.
