Countdown To Stardom

"System, why don't I remember anything?"

[ Because of the Host's sudden suicide, without giving notice to the system, the Host's soul was retrieved late and is currently damaged. ]

I fall into silence.

[ Does the system need to reintroduce itself to the Host? ]

"No, I remember everything about you," I say as I look at the blue sky. "You chose me because I have endless potential, right? Your mission is to help me fulfill my wish."

[ Yes. Does the Host still remember her wish? ]

"Of course." I smile. "My wish is to live a life that makes my family proud." The words come out smoothly. I might forget many things now, but that wish is deeply remembered by my soul.

[ The system is happy to hear that. ]

I smile, thinking this system seems different from the systems I have in mind. It is not demanding or threatening me with my life. It's quite easy to talk to.

Few moments later...

[ Host, I'm upgraded into the Stardom System. I can only help you by issuing idol-related missions. Although completing every mission can help the Host increase her lifespan and repair her soul, please don't worry-activating this system is voluntary. As long as you don't activate this system, you will not be forced to complete all the missions the system issues. ]
