Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 51

[Why are you in a hurry? I'm not going anywhere. I mean, after all, I am in you.]
As soon as he called out the system a slightly irritated voice resonated in his mind. Joon-won wondered where this system got its attitude from after hearing it.
[What? Do you have a problem if I have an attitude? I'm not like those cheap prototype systems which are mechanical slaves to their owners and only have basic functions to make their owners stupidly strong. I got none of the stupid features. And don't think you can hide anything from me. I can even read your thoughts.]
Hearing a sneer from the system and its dissing other systems was weird for Joon-won. He didn't even know what this so-called system was and now it was talking about other systems.
"Well then tell me about yourself. What are you? And why are you inside my head? Is this black magic?" He thought it was black and forbidden magic from his old world and was concerned but also puzzled because he thought magic couldn't exist in this world.
[Well, my name is Guidance System. My primary task or you could say my feature is to guide my user which is you. I give out suggestions and show you the path you can take when you are puzzled. I'm mainly here for you to reach your goal which is obviously becoming a famous actor by your memories.]
Joon-won finally understood what it was after its basic introduction. This system was there inside him to guide him towards his goal by giving suggestions. This was something valuable once he thought about it. He was in a new world and knew nothing about it. Something like the guidance system was good and helpful in his journey, which was bound to be shaky for him.

"Well now for the rest of my questions, How did you get inside my brain? And what do you mean by other systems? Does that mean there are other people out there with systems too?"
[How did I get inside your brain? Hmm, it might have been a god who granted that soul's wish to give you a good life after you died. Yeah, it was that woman's soul. When God asked her if she wanted to reincarnate she chose to give you a system and a chance to live the life you always wanted instead of herself living another life.]
"Woman? What woman?"
[Your wife. What was her name again? Zen..]
"Zen Quin. She did that? But why?" Joon-won sat in a daze as he heard the system tell him how he got the system. It was his wife. She chose to give him this power and life instead of using it to live another life.
[Hey, what are you getting so emotional about? Knowing God, he might have reincarnated anyway. So who knows, she might be in this world?]
"What? Where? How can I find her?" He instantly woke up with hope in his eyes. He wanted to meet his wife, the wife he understood and loved too late. He if had a chance he would give everything he had to her.
[Woah! Don't get too hyped. I only said there was a chance, it's not certain. Who knows if your wife even knows all her past memories to remember you? So leave it up to fate and who knows if you are lucky you might meet her.]
This instantly popped all the energy he had as he laid on the couch.
[Well, now that this all is out of the way, let's continue with your questions. There are other 'systems' but are mostly prototypes that were made for god's amusement. All of them were a failure not giving god any entertainment because their users would become too powerful and dumb. So I am a complete product. Those were simple brainless systems, while I am different. I learn from your surroundings and improve myself. That's also why I have these emotions. I was waiting for you to complete the hidden mission and got bored. So I observed and learned more about humans.] It responded with some pride.

[Now about other system users. Hmm, there shouldn't be any other users in this world. It's a pretty basic world with no power in it. So it wouldn't handle another system user. There are limits to worlds,- after all. If it was your old world, there would have been many because its limit is more.]
Joon-won felt a bit relieved when he heard that and digested all the information he just received from the system. The system seemed like a human living inside of him, it has characteristics of human feelings like irritation and pride too.
"Now the main question, do you really read my thoughts and stuff? Because if you can, I might like to turn off that feature." He felt really uncomfortable that this system could read his thoughts, too. He didn't like someone else even if it was the system to know what he is even thinking about.
[Hahaha, of course not. I can not believe you actually thought I could. Of Course, I can not. I only predicted what your reaction and thoughts might be and answered them. I mean I did see a lot of reactions when the prototypes were used. So it's easy to guess. God didn't make me be a stalker and creep you out.]
Joon-won instantly felt relieved when he heard its answer. He felt as if he was free again. He leaned back and didn't talk for a while. He was thinking about how the past week was, from being reborn to getting to act again to gaining a system. It was a rollercoaster ride.
He grinned slightly and asked, "So now, system, what next? Do you have any suggestions for me?"

God complex
A hero is summoned to another world, vanquishes evil, yadda yadda, saves the kingdom and lives happily ever after. There is no such hero in this story. Just a desperate youth with great ambition and very little to lose. A zero to hero style story set in a country clearly inspired by modern USA with just as many issues and the minority of mages often pulling strings from the shadows. I am also hoping the whole thing won't turn out edgy enough to cut me. I want to rely on actual good writing rather than cheap powertrip gimmicks. edit: Please don't mind Zetari's salty review. He is quite literally making up any use of the torture and human experimentation trope and says MC is blank after 4 chapters where he conveniently stops reading just at the start of his first character development. For extra entertainment, I will be uploading chapters two at a time and compose a relevant poem through the chapter names. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.
