"Hmm..."

Falling down, continuously.

The only thing keeping me from going insane is the blue screen infront of me and my sister holding my hand as we both fall.

「ACCEPT SYSTEM?」

「Y / N」

"So are you going to accept it?"

"You cant even see it."

"Well im so-rry!"

"Whatever, are you sure that man helped you? And me?"

Getting back on topic.

"Ofcourse! Why would i lie?"

"Maybe he mind controlled you."

"He literally helped you!"

"Okay! Okay!... i guess i'll accept it the offer."

Nervously pressing Y, i felt something weird on my finger.

A bright blue glow was surrounding my finger.

...

"Wow, you have a flashlight now."

"Be quiet."

After a few more seconds, the blue light began following my veins as it slowly got towards my heart.

One thing, it burns... it burns so much.

"Hrk!"

"B-bro?! Whats happeneing?!"

Soon, once it reached my heart, it began to glow too.

"Arghh!"

Excrutiating pain. My hand tightening its grasp on my sisters.

"W-what's going on!"

Soon, it finally subsides.

「HELLO [USER]」

「PLEASE WAIT WHILE WE GATHER DATA」

"Hoo..."

Finally breathing a sigh of relief as the pain subsides. I glance at my sister.

"So?"

"Looks like i have to wait while it collects data?"

"Collecting data? Sounds weird."

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

"Nice observation."

○ ○ ○

Wow... we have fallen for a long time now.

"Urgh... when will we stop falling..."

"Calm down..."

"I wanna go home!"

"Me too."

While falling, the calming coloured walls would sometimes flash images.

Past, present and future.

"I really don't understand what happend!"

"Wait. Do you see that?"

Pointing at the walls of this pit, the image is of me... and that man, as if we are friends?

"H●N●G●G!"

Then, the man pushes itself outside the image and enters the pit aswell.

"W-what the!"

"Its you!"

"F●N●L●Y."

"W-who are you!"

"Its the person that helped us! Be nice!"

"We cant even understand him!"

"L●S●E●, ●O● ●E●D ●O ●A●T ●Or● T●E S●S●E● T● ●I●I●H L●A●I●G."

"See!"

「DATA COLLECTION COMPLETE!」

「HELLO, MARCEN」

"Hang on, it just finished."

Wow.

"Wow."

"Hm, judging by your reaction, the system has finished its update i presume."

Wait... did i just understand him?

"H-huh?"

His tone was dignified and filled with confidence... wow.

"Well, i think its time for us to stand on solid ground."

"Bro! What is he saying?"

"H-he said we should stand on solid ground first..."

"How? We are still FALLING!"

TAP–

Suddenly, we are standing on a platform while in the pit.

"There. Hello Marcen."

"B-bro! There is a floor now!"

"How do you know my name."

"We used to be friends."

"Used to?"

The man held his head up high while nodding.

"How? And... why not anymore?"

"It was in the past... well, future for you."

"W-what is going on! What is all this error talk? What happened to my family!"

"I am sorry, truly, but i can't answer your questions right now. Causality wont allow it."

"Causali-what?"

"The Law that dictates what can happen."

"S-so it... it will just control us?"

"You misunderstood. It's Law, it isn't fate."

"O-oh, so what now..."

"All i am allowed to say is... good luck."

Hearing cracks, i look downwards to see the cause.

The. Platform. Was. Breaking.

"I truely hope you survive. Your universe is gone, your time is broken... goodbye, Error of the Cosmos."

The platform shattered, my sister grabbinh my arm as we fall again but... that figure was... smiling?

"Don't get stronger than me again."

We fell again as he stayed hovering.

□♡◇♧

Finally, we stopped falling.

The landing wasnt even painful, it felt weird to feel gravity again. We stood up and looked around us.

A forest.

"O-owie..."

"You good?"

For some reason, my sister showed more reaction than me.

"What do you mean! It hurts like hell!"

"J-jeez, overreacting much?"

She gets up slowly meanwhile i am already standing and stretching.

"What are you? An ogre?"

"I may be a bit chubby but that's mean."

"Chubby is an understatement..."

Hearing her mumbling, i glare.

"Am i wrong?"

"Whatever. We just need to find a safe place, we dont know where we are."

As i say that... i hear growling in the distance.

Turning to the noise, a scream can be heard... maybe around three?

I grab my sisters hand and begin running towards the source.

"Woah! Slow down!"

Hearing my sister. I turn my head to face her and i see her face stretched due to the speed.

"Oh crap."

Slowing down. I reach a pace that she can handle as we keep running.

"Why did you suddenly run off! With me!"

"I heard screaming."

"Where? I can't hear anything! Huff... huff..."

Seeing her being out of breath, i slow down even more.

"There it is! Huff..."

She points to a direction, i see a clearing with... monsters? And a group of people.

"The screams are very muffled! Huff... how could you even hear that? From far away too! Huff..."

"...hide, i'll be back."

After saying my warning. I begin running to the source, two men and a woman fighting what seems to be an... orc?

『Mratri LV - 54』

The screen displayed what it was as i stared at it. Then suddenly...

『ERROR!』

『Glitch LV - ???』

What the hell is a glitch?

Noticing that the orc, or a 'Mratri' as the system says, looks off... maybe a bit cartoony... or slightly off.

Jumping towards it. I punch the hand about to attack one of the men, seemingly a tanker.

As the punch connected... it felt off, like the texture wasnt the same as the appearance of whatever this was.

"Ah! Thank you stranger!"

The man thanked me as i noticed the Glitch's arm was severed but... the blood wasnt gushing or... even moving?

Jumping in for another punch, i punched it's head off.

Strangly, i felt extremily weak after the second punch...

『MP DEPLETED』

What? Should have... told me that... sooner...

I see my sister running to me as i faint.

Not again.
