The Hentai Protagonist System

Chapter 34 – Emergency?! {Edited}



[Hentai Protagonist System]

 

(*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 those words in my head, trying as best as I could to calm down my heart, which 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 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 know 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 steady head like I was just witnessing the events from an outsider's perspective.

 

Even if they were happening to me.

 

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 case the system was 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 the system is simply 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 afterward.

 

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 see the screen with the name indicated that the system hadn’t simply 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 more relieved than 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 than 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 with simply knowing that the system was still active.

 

‘System, what does being ‘offline’ means?’

 

[All functions pertaining to modification and examination are temporarily shut down. The 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 simply 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 its functions, but also about how exactly it operated, The system wasn’t some kind of AI, it didn’t have an intelligence of its 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 its own abilities. Anything outside of its 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 and 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 considering 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 its functionalists, I tried to enter into contact with those two again. I tried to simply talk alone, pray, ask the system to contact them and even went to a temple one time, but nothing I did ever seem to catch their attention.

 

I had questions to make for them, especially in regard to 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 simply gave the system and this new life out of their kindness.

 

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

 

For whatever reason they apparently are responsible for the system currently being 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.
