Martial Arts System

Chapter 64: Guilty.

''I AM RICH!'' Ichiro started celebrating in his room.

He quickly used his controller and logged off the game.

He giggled like a kid; he took his phone and was about to open his bank account.

But then a notification appeared from the System.

[Host has Transferred 100.000.000$ to System}

[System thanks for the Patronage]

''Transferred? Patronage? WHAT THE FUCK!'' Ichiro roared in anger.

''Language!'' Ichiro heard a loud female scream from downstairs.

''Fuck…'' Ichiro said quietly.

''System, what the fuck is this?!''

[Host becoming wealthy would severely hinder his Martial Arts journey]

''Wha…'' Ichiro looked shocked.

[Host will be able to use his wealth once he reaches Martial Saint Realm]

''F…FUCK! SYSTEM GIVE ME MY MONEEYYY!'' Ichiro started hitting his head, thinking that it would affect the System as well.

[Host, stop it. You are hurting yourself, not me]

''Fuck you!'' Ichiro growled in anger and started hitting even stronger.

[Host, stop being stupid sh*thead!]

Ichiro stopped hitting, his face grimaced.

He asked. ''What did you call me?''

[Sh*thead]

''GRRR!'' Ichiro's eyes went bloodshot.

[Enough Host. For your Patronage of 100.000.000$, your Debt of 1000 Coins will be removed!]

[Congratulations! You Received 1000 Coins!]

''DON'T CARE, GIVE ME MY MONEYYY!'' Ichiro fell to the ground dramatically; he started rolling on the floor while throwing a tantrum.

[Host, for fucks sake! Stop acting like a child!]

''Fuck you, I am a child!'' Ichiro growled in anger.

[Hmm, Oh yeah… It seems that your last life personality has already been wiped out… You have your experiences and mind of your previous life, but nature has been changed. You are basically the fusion of Previous Ichiro and the Ichiro from Earth]

''How come you can speak so fluently now? You used to be a mute bitch before.''

[Host, that isn't polite, I can electrocute you, and I won't hesitate to do so]

[And I am becoming more sentient the moment you upgrade the System to a higher level]

''I don't want to upgrade the system anymore…'' Ichiro groaned while lying on the ground.

[You have no other choice. Either you will stay as Martial Leader, or you will continue your Martial Arts Path]

''You are very annoying, are you, man or woman.?''

[Neither. But I would like you to think that I am a man, because who knows what kind of perverted fantasies you will have of me if you think I am a woman]

''Do you think I am a pervert?!'' Ichiro roared.

[Affirmative]

''My day has been ruined.'' Ichiro groaned.

[Host. Even though you are the stupidest person I have ever met, you still did a good thing today. Helping the Player called NightButterfly will have considerable consequences in your life, and it will be in a good way]

''Really… You can see the future or?'' Ichiro asked with curiosity.

[I can only see the Destiny's of certain people, and I saw clearly how NightButterfly's Destiny changed because she met you. If she didn't meet you today, her life would have gotten very dark]

''I see…'' Ichiro was now happy, even though his life was ruined because of the bitch system, but knowing that he helped someone get rid of a dark future, he felt proud and happy.

''What was so dark about her future anyway?''

[She would end up selling her body but will never get enough money in time before her mother dies, she will never be able to leave that job, and eventually, she gets tired of her dark life and ends up committing suicide three years later]

''What!'' Ichiro stood up from the ground and yelled.

[You saved her miserable life, now doctors will fully cure her mother, and she will have a happy childhood]

Ichiro nodded, he narrowed his eyes.

''Who ruined her life?''

[Underworld located in Winterlight]

''Should I go and kill them…'' Ichiro thought deeply.

[If you go there, you will die in an instant, and besides, your Destiny is connected with the Underworld. You will have time, be patient Host]

*Sigh*

Ichiro sighed and sat on his bed; he scratched his head in frustration.

[Be patient, Host. Your time will come; focus on getting stronger]

''Understood…'' Ichiro mumbled; he laid down on the bed.

''System, can you see my destiny and my future?''

[I can't, but I know that you are the most crucial piece in the world]

''What do you mean?''

[You are the Main Character]

''I see…?'' Ichiro said with a questioning face.

[I don't see what you will become. There are two essential pieces in every world. The one who becomes the so-called Villain and the one who becomes the so-called Hero. I can't see which one you are]

''I see…''

''So… Is another individual one also reincarnation with a system?''

[No Host. You are the only reincarnator and only one with a system in this world. The Destiny tells me that there are two beings born in this world. The one with a painful journey ahead. The second one is the one who shall carry the responsibilities of many]

[Even though you are a reincarnator. You were born on this world with natural means, which means that you are the same as anyone else in this world]

[And Host. I suggest you get rid of the thought that you 'killed' the previous Ichiro, it will hinder your path, and you won't be able to reach Martial Captain without your mind being on proper order]

''I-I don't think I killed him…'' Ichiro said with slight uncertainty.

[Host. I can see your deepest thoughts; you feel guilty every time you look at your parents. You are their son. You are Kurogami Ichiro. You are the one who has a deep love for games. You are the one who was born on this world!]

''B-But…'' Ichiro stuttered with a slight teary tone.

[Enough, let him talk instead]

Ichiro raised an eyebrow, but then everything went dark.

Ichiro's body lay on the bed lifelessly with eyes closed.

…But inside his mind.

A figure of a young man was floating in the black void.

Ichiro looked around him in panic; he started breathing heavily.

''Did I die again… Or was it all dream…'' Ichiro thought aloud with panic while floating in the dark void.

*SWOOSH*

But then bright light of pure energy appeared around him.

Ichiro looked warily around him, but he didn't feel any hostility coming from the light; instead, he felt warmth.

The light disappeared, and a figure with a pure white outfit appeared in front of him.

The young man in front of him looked exactly like him. Except he has pure white hair, white eyes, and white eyebrows. He looked like a divine being.

Ichiro had the same face as the white-haired young man in front of him. Except Ichiro has jet black hair with black eyebrows and black eyes.

''Ichiro.'' The white-haired young man said with a soothing voice.

''A-Are you him?'' Ichiro asked with curiosity.

''I am.''

Ichiro looked instantly quilty, he turned his head away from him, but then he felt a warm hand on his shoulder.

He turned his head and saw the white-haired young man gently smiling at him.

''I know that you are guilty, but don't be. We are the same; I am you. You didn't kill me because I still live since I am you, and you are me.'' The white-haired young man said gently.

Ichiro opened his eyes wide open.

''You need to get rid of this thought… To reach Martial Captain, your mind and body need to be in perfect connection. So far, neither of them is perfect, but soon your body will be in perfect connection, but your mind is the one who should be the first one to be fully connected. You need to accept that we are the same; otherwise, you will never reach Martial Captain.''

Ichiro went deep into his thoughts.

''I understand… How should I do it?'' Ichiro asked with a firm look; he has felt guilty for weeks now, every time he is playing with Ayako. Every time he talks with his parents. He feels immense guilt after hearing the soothing voice of the white-haired young man in front of him. He concluded.

The white-haired man smiled gently; he put his soft-looking hand on Ichiro's forehead.

''You need to experience my memories fully.''

*SWISH*

Ichiro opened his eyes wide and saw the light covering his body.

The next thing he saw was the memories and experiences of the white-haired Ichiro.
