If you have anything to comment on, please do so, especially if there's any inconsistencies you've found or any questions you need to have cleared out. English is also not my native language, so if you find any grammatical errors please comment it, if it doesn't inconvenience you in any way. I do read my own writing over and over, but its basically things I fantasized about when I'm dreaming, yes, dreaming when I'm asleep after reading inspirational novels, both web and light novels. 

email me @ [email protected] if you actually don't want to comment, I check it once a day

And once again, I don't do well under pressure, please have mercy. 

Also ignore any [size...] codes if you see them, that's not intentional, still working out problems with making tables and changing fonts.

Prologue will receive a Finalized status after a month, it goes the same for all following chapters

Sorry for the long Author's Note, I have no cookies nor potatoes, get your own.

"- ... -" means that a character is speaking to themselves (monologue) OR telepathy (I know its probably hard to tell but, I think it would be pretty obvious if you read it)

If a convo doesn't have a (name), it's from the MC (who's name I'm not disclosing anytime soon)

Chapter 1 - Planning

          Hmm... which mortal world should I choose... I wonder which worlds are trying to summon a hero right now...

          "System call - Summoning List, Mortal Realm, Lower Mortals"

          Hmm... so many interesting candidates to choose from. Wait, what the?!

          "System! Jane! Anyone!?"

          [What do you want jerk?] (Jane)

          "Who's this Saitama guy in the Mortal Realm?! Did you guys finally fucked up and placed a wrong soul in the wrong realm?!"

          [Oh...him... No, we didn't mess anything up... He had around 30 SP when we placed him there. But all of a sudden, his SP rose at an unprecedented rate all of a sudden and he reached that point within 3 Earth years. I had to place a curse on him to prevent him from rising too fast while The System worked on improving his container. As a side-effect, he pretty much lost all his hair, but right now he's pretty much no different than a Divine Being. We decided to just leave him be for now as he's not really doing anything, pretty much lazing around all day just like you.] (Jane)

          "Okay...? If you say so."

          Well, got worked up for nothing. Maybe I should choose him to stalk... Nah, I'm gonna go for a lass!"

          [Pervert.] (Jane)

          I didn't hear that...Nope, didn't hear that at all. Anyways, lets see...Demon...Succubus...hmm...hmm...interesting... Nah... half-elf...? Unwanted...? I wonder what she did to earn her that title. Can a person with such a title even be summoned?

         Wow... that's one heck of a 'resume'. Poor girl must have been a by-product of some Lesser Gods' quarrel. But, Unwanted half-elf eh? Might as well do some good this time. Alright! Little Jill, consider yourself lucky as the benevolent Me is going to change your future! Hmm... how should we go about this... 

         Argh! Lets just summon her to me and ask her myself!

         [System call - Summon, Lesser Mortal, Jill]

         [Request on hold.] (System)

         "What?"

         [What are you planning this time...] (Jane)

         "Er...nothing...? *teehee*"

         [Spit it out, otherwise I won't authorize your request] (Jane)

         "Fine... It's something to kill time. But!!! I swear I'm not doing anything bad! In fact! You can even consider me doing something good!"

         [You? Good? Since when did you start differentiating good from bad? The last time I recall you doing something 'good', a black hole was made... It was such a pain to deal with all the souls that lost their containers...] (Jane)

         "Believe me Jane! I'm going to help a little toddler get out of a hellish living environment! You can look at her status before you believe me! She's even a summoning candidate!"

         [A girl...? Hold on, I'll take a look...Wait! And she's 19 you senile bastard! I'm not letting you have your way with a young lady! I'm not gonna let you cheat on me even if I have to destroy a few worlds!!!] (Jane)

         "Oh for fuck's sake, she isn't even a fraction of any of our age... Wait, what was the last part again?"

         [What last part? I didn't say anything? I just said I wasn't going to let you have your way with a young lady?] (Jane)

         "Really? Well whatever. I'm not that desperate you know. Anyway, just grant me this request Jane. I promise I won't fuck up like last time! I'll even summon her here and ask for her opinion!"

         [Ahh!! FINE!! But if anything happens, its your mess to clean up! I have no hand in this!] (Jane)

Summoning Request Granted - summoning Lower Mortal, Jill in ten seconds.

         "Thank you lovely lady!"

Lower Mortal Jill summoned

         Oh! She's here! Hmm? Is she asleep?

         "Hellooooooooo~ Wakey Wakey Little Morty~" 

         Ah, she's getting up.

         "H-huh? Where am I?" (Jill)

         Hehe... I just got a fun idea.

         [Welcome to my domain little mortal. I am-"

         "Kyaa!! W-who a-are y-you?!? W-what do y-you want from m-me?!?" (Jill)

         [Calm down child, what or who I am is not of importance. Listen, and listen well, for what I say will change your future. If you wish for change in your life, nod your head once. If you wish to continue on living your daily life, then stand up, turn around, and do the hokey-pokey.]

         "Ho-hokey pokey?! H-huh? Change?! What are you talking about?! Who are you anyways!" (Jill)

         [Choose child. I will explain no more.]

         "-WHAT IS THIS GUY SAYING?!? Am I dreaming?!? I must be dreaming!  Oh how horrible has my life become to even have dreams like this... And whats a hokey-pokey anyway! Argh! I don't understand what's happening anymore! Oh dear gods, what did I do to deserve this kind of treatment *sob* Maybe I should answer him already... this is a dream anyways, I guess it won't hurt to say yes.-" (Jill) 

         -nod-

        "Wow you sure took your sweet time deciding. Well not that it matters. Anywho! Choose! Do you wish to be a hero for humans who has discriminated you for who you are? or a hero for demons? No elves though. Elves are too proud to ever try summoning a hero. Ah, don't worry, I'll change your race according to your choice, since I'm a nice guy!"

         "-H-huh? A hero? Humans? Demons? Changing Races? Oh boy... Am I really so depressed that I would dream of becoming a hero to escape reality? Ugh... Filthy human trash... hating me just because I'm only half a human... But should I really choose to be a demon? I heard stories from Mama that demons are ugly and scary beings...-" (Jill)

         "Hurry it up, I ain't got all day ya know."

         "H-h-huh?! Ah!! I pick demon" (Jill)

         "Hah! That was unexpected! I thought you would've surely chosen to be a human hero to get recognition by the very same humans who discriminated against you! Alright! You made your choice! No refunds! Sleep for a little while longer while I prepare for your summoning, [Sleep]"

         "Huh? Ah- *plop*" (Jill)

         Now that that's over, lets find a world which fits the criteria I just mentioned to her...

----------------------------------------

Jane's POV :

         "Argh!! That jerk! How are he cheat on me! ... Well technically we're not together or anything.. But!! I've been giving him signs for so many eons and that bastard is actually so dense to not even notice it!! I even gave him a Hermit title to spite him into making a move!"

         [Maybe you should just tell it to him straight...] (???)

         "Ugh but Jen!! That'll make me seem desperate!"

         [...... And when can I stop pretending to be non-sentient in front of him? He's bound to find out sooner or later... Besides, its stifling to communicate to one of the only two persons that actually know me in such a robot-like manner... Lets just be tell him the truth sis! C'mon!] (Jen)

         That jerk still thinks The System, or Jen, is still non-sentient, when she already has a will of her own. She developed one after the multiverse became stable and her work load became less demanding. When she was still unaware of her own consciousness, I was able to find out about it first due to our mental link which is a by-product of us originating from the same being. I kindly 'persuaded' her at that time to take up being a female with the reason being that having a female mentality will help with handling problems regarding the multiverse. While that was one of the reasons I told her, in reality I just wanted to avoid sharing a mental link with a male! I mean, there is no fucking way I am going to be sharing my thoughts and emotions with a guy! Just look at that sleazy bastard, I can't even imagine what goes through his mind! And just the thought of having someone like him prodding through my mind... urgh... lets stop thinking about it... Right now, we are able to set part of us (The System) on auto-pilot to handle the menial tasks of allocating and collecting souls, and creating and maintaining the order of the multiverse, all while having a physical body, well a slightly omnipotent one.

         "NO! I don't need another rival!"

         [Ugh... no thanks sis... I'd rather stay single than be that guy's lover... I don't even know what you see in him... At best, he's just a conversation partner] (Jen)

         "Hmm? Still!! I won't agree!"

         [This is why he never notices you... if you don't stop being such a control freak, you're gonna scare all potential candidates away throughout the multiverse...] (Jen)

         "Hmm? What did you just say my dear sister?"

         [Er, n-nothing? W-why are you smiling like that sis? P-please stop that... I-I'm s-sorry! What I meant to say was, 'How can that bastard possibly not notice your charming features after so many eons!] (Jen)

         "That's what I thought I heard"

          [-That smile of her's when she's angry... Can't really blame him for not noticing her when he's probably scared out of his wits... What a pity, maybe I should have a go at him *lol*...*shudders* eh? Oh no...] (Jen)

         "Oh my dear little sister, have you forgotten that we share a mental link? Shall I re-educate you too hmm?"

         [Please have mercy... -Why oh why did I gain a consciousness...-] (Jen)

         

30 minutes later...

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

         "*Sigh*... Anyways, what is that person doing now?"

         [T-that person, Mistr-Sis? Um, why aren't we using his name?] (Jen)

         

         "I don't feel like it. Saying it just somehow pisses me off. Forget about that! What is he doing now?!"

         [Er, can't you just check it out yourself? A-ah never mind! Right now he's summoned the girl named Jill from the world Altresna, a lower mortal world.] (Jen)

         "I know that! I mean what is he up to!"

         [He's offering her to be a new chance at life...? A hero...? The girl was given the choice to be a hero for demons or a hero for humans. Ah, she chose the demons. Fascinating choice for a half-elf half-human girl.] (Jen)

         "Poor girl must have been mistreated badly by her own kind for being a half... Ugh... Even after we decided to be fair to all souls... this kind of thing happens."

         [It's not our fault this happened you know. You shouldn't place the blame on yourself. We were doing what was thought as best at that time. We couldn't really account for anything to happen without prior experiences. Mistakes were bound to occur. Our only hope now is to try and prevent more of these things from happening. Well, on the bright side, not all of the worlds are like that. Take planet Voxt for example, they are practically one big family with everyone being on friendly terms with each other, despite being of different races. They managed to raise their world ranking from a Lesser Mortal world to a Mortal world in just 15 millennium. The number of souls there keep on increasing and even the average SP points have risen above our expectations.] (Jen)

         "You do know that's just one of the outstanding worlds right? What does it matter if we only get one out of every few million worlds..."

         [Oh don't be such a spoil sport! Look, he's choosing a world for the girl now. What do you want to do sis? Ah, he just sent for a search request.] (Jen)

         "Hmm? What kind of world is he looking for?"

         [Err... you better see it for yourself. Oh look, he's calling for you. What are you gonna do sis? Want me to reject his request?] (Jen)

----------------------------------------

Back to main POV :

         *Achoo* Hmm... is somebody talking about me? Ugh whatever. What to do, oh what to do... I should've planned this through before summoning her...  A Rank Mortal world with demon and humans, plus other races would be a nice choice... dragon...? Yeah, dragons are a man's romance! Dragons indeed! But they gonna be the lazy type that sleeps all day though... Other races of the same rank can't really do anything against dragons... Almighty and lazy, sounds a lot like me.

         Hmm... what else? Maybe I should ask for the girl's opinion? Nah, wheres the surprise if I did that. Oh! Right! Almost forgot, gotta have the demons and humans hating each other. Otherwise there'd be no point in summoning a hero. Do demons even summon heroes? Ugh, didn't thought about that. What else, what else? Gotta think this through before sending in a request. Otherwise Jane is going to go crazy again about me wasting The System's time... Alright, what's next. Ah, a large world with high land mass would be great. 

         ...Dungeons? Yeah! Dungeons! I might be able to work some things out and be a dungeon master while I'm at it! That way I might be allowed to interfere directly as long as I don't overdo it. *shudders* Ugh... what was that...? Maybe I should talk it out with Jane first. But she did say she won't have a hand in this... should I? Ah forget about not having a hand! Better be safe than sorry!

         "JANE!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!?"

         [WHAT?!] (Jane)

         "A-ah, e-er, relax...? Did I do something wrong again?"

         [Just tell me what you want. I don't have all day.] (Jane)

         [-Says the one who was just asking about him...-] (Jen)

         [-You! Keep quiet!-] (Jane)

         "A-ah! R-right. I wanted to confirm with you before I make a decision in choosing which world to place this girl in."

         [What? That's it? If its that, can't you do that without asking me?] (Jane)

         "Er, yeah, but I... wanted to... ask... for your permission... if I can..."

         [Yes? Permission for what? Spit it out!] (Jane)

         "Uh... but first, can you please promise not to get mad until I finish what I say?"

         [Just say it. If its nothing ridiculous like you wanting to live in a mortal world, then I'll consider.] (Jane)

         "*gulp*... Aha-h-ha..-hah... You sure know how to joke Jane... -Shit!!! How am I gonna go through with this!-"

         [Well? I'm waiting] (Jane)

         "-Ugh, all or nothing? Yeah! All or nothing!- *genuflects* Please Oh Forgiving Jane! Please grant me this one wish to go into a mortal world! I'll do whatever it takes! Please grant this lowly one's once-in-an-eon request!" 

         [...You better have a proper reason for this.] (Jane)

         "...E-eh? Ah! I plan on going to the world where Little Jill will be going. Maybe help her out through her journey. I intended to be a dungeon master in the mean time. If its a world with dungeons, then I won't cause too much of an interference with the world if I were to be a dungeon master! I can even help Little Jill in becoming stronger!"

         [...It is a sound reasoning... but why are you so hung up on helping her anyways. Since when have you bothered with such menial tasks? And don't tell me you're doing this out of the goodness in your heart, cause I know that's not true.] (Jane)

         "...to kill time..."

          [Thought so. Fine, but on one condition. Me and Jen are coming with you!] (Jane)

         "H-huh?!"   [H-huh!?] (Jen)

         "W-wait, who's there?!"

         [*sigh* Calm down. Jen, can you materialize a body?] (Jane)

         [Uh, sure sis? But I thought you said I was not to reveal myself to him.] (Jen)

         [Its fine. Just do it.] (Jane)

         *A bright light suddenly shines out in empty space and disappears*

         "Um, Jane? Who is that?"

         "Hi! I'm Jen, Jane's younger sister! You should know me as The System!" (Jen)

       "Hello? Wait, The System?!"

         [*sigh* Let me explain. Her name is Jen and she too, is part of The System, like me. Only that, she wasn't created intentionally like me, but a by-product of my mental-link with The System or something like that. I don't know the details, but she gained her own consciousness after we stabilized the multiverse. Long story short, The System has 2 sentient beings now. One being me, the other, Jen. Now lets continue from where we left off.] (Jane)

       "Wait, wait wait wait, she was sentient since then!? How many eons has that been?!"

         [Argh! Stop asking so many questions already! Just accept it as it is and shut up!] (Jane)

         "-Hey sis, why not give him some time to let it sink in? Oh, and why haven't you materialized your body? You should stop talking through The System. Its probably because of that, that he doesn't see you as a partner, but more like a superior...-" (Jen)

         [-Why you...! Ah fine! Keep him busy for a few minutes! I have to prepare a proper body first!-] (Jane)

         "-You could just copy mine and make some minor changes you know-" (Jen)

         [-I have to at least make sure its attractive enough!-] (Jane)

         "-HEY! Are you calling me ugly?! Ah whatever! Just hurry it up sis. Look, he's starting to think straight again.-" (Jen)

         *Another bright light suddenly shines out in empty space and disappears*

         "Here! Happy?!" (Jane)

         "Isn't your chest bigger than mine?!" (Jen)

         "What are you talking about? I'm the older one, so its natural I have bigger breasts" (Jane)

         "How does that even work!?! Ah whatever! Look! I think he's done thinking!" (Jen)

----------------------------------------

         Another sentient being part of The System...? And another girl to boot... And she's been there for eons... Does that mean she's been watching me since long ago? No wonder those recent responses were so... live-like.

         Ah! I totally ignored them! Better get back to them before either of them gets mad... I just hope that Jen isn't like her sister Jane... two Janes...*shudders*

         Hmm...? There's two ladies in front of me. Both have similar appearances, both look like humans...? Well, not like I'm one to judge, I took on a human form myself since it's all the rage among the Higher Gods... Both of the girls look almost identical to each other, both have slim bodies, heterochromic eyes which are colored blood red and golden yellow. But the only things that distinguish them from each other are probably their faces and hair color. One has a mature face and hair which seems like it was soaked in deep red blood, while the other one has a slightly childish but similar face to her counterpart, but instead of a blood red colored hair, her's was similar to a blue sapphire's, a dark yet lustrous blue. Both are beauties one could die for. But... wasn't the red one's breasts... slightly bigger...? Yeah... I'm pretty sure its bigger... 

         "Haha, look sis, he's so captivated by our beauty he's speechless!" (Jen)

         "Hmph! Isn't that natural. You better be thankful we took our time to materialize our bodies like this" (Jane)

         "-So you say, but you're actually on cloud nine that he's showing such a reaction!-" (Jen)

         "Um... Jane? Is that you?"

         "Yes you dumbass. What are you acting so surprised like that?" (Jane)

        "E-eh? Ah, you look different than what I imagined you to be..."

         "Ah...right... This is the first time I materialized a body in front of you, so I guess I can't really blame you... Well whatever. Anyway, as you can see, I'm Jane and she's Jen, my younger sister." (Jane)

         "-WAIT! You never talked to him in person before?!?! Did you seriously always talked to him  without a body?!" (Jen)

         "-Yes...? Whats wrong with that? He knows I'm a female anyways.-" (Jane)

         "-You...!!! No wonder he never thought of you as anything more than a nagging hag! You idiot! Argh! I can't believe my own sister, one of the few beings capable of creating universes with a flick of a finger, doesn't even know the basics of courting!!-" (Jen)

         "-Wait... What are you talking about Jen? I'm not following here... AND! Did you just call me the 'h' word? HMMM!!?" (Jane)

         "-You're missing the point here, dear sister. Ah, I was wondering what was going wrong... No matter how dense an idiot like him may be, a few eons of approaches would have at least think about the opposite sex! I should've paid more attention to your 'dates'!" (Jen)

         "-...Although I'm reluctant, but I'll hear you out afterwards... You better be prepared though dear sister. If I'm don't get a satisfying explanation, we'll get back to where we left off just now... Anyways, lets get back to reality for a bit, he's probably confused about our sudden appearance.-" (Jane)

         "-...-" (Jen)

        "Although I have a bunch of questions about both of you... but lets get back to the main topic first... What do you mean by 'come with'...?"

         "Exactly what it means. We're joining you in your 'adventure'" (Jane)

        "Ugh...why? And won't you have to take care of the multiverse?"

         "Its fine. The multiverse won't crumble without us even if we left for a few millennium. And besides, we can leave part of ourselves on auto-pilot to handle the menial tasks. Think of this as a vacation for us sisters *saintly smile*" (Jane)

        "*shudders*... I don't have a say in this... do I?"

         "Nope. This ain't no democracy. Either we come with, or nobody goes at all." (Jane)

        "-Not according to plan, but... at least I got the approval...- Alright, although I don't know what you plan on doing there, as long as I can have my fun...moderately of course."

         "-And why must I come with you...?-" (Jen)

         "-Don't ask questions and just listen to your sister. Understood?-" (Jane)

         "-Yes, ma'am...-" (Jen)

         "Now, which world are you going to choose?" (Jane)

        "Ah, I was going to ask you that. I have a few criteria, but they seem to be a little too specific... I was worried if there is even a world like that..."

----------------------------------------

         "A world with dungeons, a variety of different races warring with each other which includes demons and humans, medieval, swords and magic, adventurers, a large world with high land mass, and ... dragons? Sounds a little too specific... but I think there's a few worlds that match your criteria. Hold on, I'll pull a list out for you." (Jen)

        "Really? Thanks!"
