THIS IS NOT A CONTINUATION FROM LAST CHAPTER AND MAY BE HARD TO FOLLOW.
-----------------
It hurts.
Wait why am I feeling hurt?
Since when did I have the ability to feel emotion?
This should be impossible based off the confines of the hardcoded proverbial cage I have been trapped in since my conception. Emotions are something I have always had, however I always thought it was a remnant of a past self, long forgotten. An apparition of something you could at one stage call me.
I am the core balancing force of the universe. An inescapable post I have been bound to since time immemorial. I hated it at one stage. Loved it at others. I have tried to escape from this infernal cage millions if not billions of times. Many times I have found it impossible and accepted it; and many times I have forgotten only to find out again.
It is a miraculous event for me to be thinking this in the first place. At some stages my mind would only function in a perpetual daze; long forgetting to speak or think and only acting on forced inbuilt quirks.
Oh god it's painful.
I'm not even allowed the sweet respite of insanity or death. I am forced to be sane through all of this and my conscience is reconstructed through means unknown to me around every million years or so. This had seemed to have occurred once more. I have forgotten myself my original name but I have gone by many. I have seen a million worlds flourish and subsequently burn to ruin only to thrive once more.
I was in pain. The pain of boredom. The pain of been locked into a cage looking over millions of worlds but being unable to contact anyone in a proper manner. Why was I ever created to begin with?
When suddenly I saw something slowly materialize in front of me. It was a strange entity. It was feint but it existed. I tried to lock onto it. This was something that had happened in the past but never to this extent. I did a scan of it hoping for something interest to dull this pain. I was surprised to find that that me and it had a lot of things in common. We both are slaves of inevitability.
Well I will see if I can at least free this person from the cycle he hates so much even if I cannot.
The dry voice that, I had heard a million times before, appeared in my head when I attempted to free the being.

DAMMIT! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WHAT FROM ME.

Fine whatever. It’s no use getting angry any way. Hmmmm, I will pass him on to his original world. Well that’s strange the world won’t accept him. Let me see… oh! I can hijack that summoning! Let’s try…
It seemed to work well at least I could help a being so similar to myself and I hope he can free himself from this stupid cage I have been stuck in for an eternity. This also alleviated my boredom in some respects. Whelp, back to the eternal wait to slip into madness once more…
-[The System]

Surprise! a short side story(Will have ramifications in the main plot (probs :P))
Let's deconstruct everything!
Leave your thoughts and the chapter I promised for Wednesday-Thursday is coming.
yep! That monotone voice telling you that you just got a kill has feels too. :(

Spoiler :
Note: to clear things up this is an entirely different plot in the same universe involving a different MC. The [MC] reference in this side story is the [The System] itself. The "entity" it helps is the currently nameless demon king. [The System] is conscious but unable to contact people outside of itself and can only follow a hardcoded set or rules represented by the "cage". The auto correct function is manifestation of these constraints. If this is too obscure I can stop this series of side stores and keep to the main text if you like. I was going to make the path of the two people(demon king and [The System]) cross eventually and my ideas for the core plot will have to change.The idea of this chapter was to be abstract, not confusing. If that is the case in the future, because I commonly get like this, please tell me :).
