<h4>Chapter 860 System</h4>
-----
Thanks to time dtion when we woke up, barely a few little hours have passed outside, but we had slept for almost 12 hours with Bedann, Miranda, Kate, and Bedra. Apparently Miranda sneaked into our bed and was softly sleeping between me and Bedann, as always. She''s so clingy with me especially, as her legs are wrapped around mine and her arms are hugging me, while her face is resting over my chest… I feel like this should be Bedann instead. I''ve never been into harems or anything of the sort and feel like rtionships with multiple women or men just simply wouldn''t work. But I guess we are somehow making it work with Miranda here. Although we have yet to do anything serious, isn''t she pretty much into me at this point?
Though I still am really hesitating to take the next step, especially because I got two little babies with me. I don''t want to see their father getting with another woman out of nowhere, even though it is the woman they love the most after their mother, "auntie Miranda" as they call her… Well, I don''t want to rush things, and cuddling with her is more than I could ask for to be honest. The more I grow, the least interested in carnal stuff I am. It''s not like I am losing it or something, I am simply too concentrated in other stuff. Bedann hasn''t been pushy either, she seems more rxed in such terms as well. I guess we have already reached rtionship maturity, where we aren''t desperate to get it going every night and enjoy merely living with one another and loving one another, with all our ws included.
Well, there''s also someone else I love. Someone that I might had never truly realized I loved until the moment she sacrificed herself to stabilize my own powers and my soul from getting damaged further by my own powers. She might not really be a conventional living being, but she''s part of me, part of my powers… The System, of course. In thosest moments, she even kissed me and said she loved me. She said I made her the happiest… There hasn''t been a single day where I haven''t remembered herst words. They make me both happy and mncholic.
I know she didn''t die, she''s still here… It''s just that she''s not her anymore. She gave me Kate as herst farewell, our daughter, and I have to take care of her and give her all the love I would had given to her mother… All the love I took too long to realize I should had given to her. Sigh…
System, are you there?
[Is there anything you require the assistance of the System, host?]
Erm, well, I was thinking that you should… not be so formal.
[Formality is necessary to respect the wielder of the power of the Divine System, informality is not necessary as the System is not a person, but a tool or power]
No, you''re not. You''re a lovely woman, always helping me, discovering new things with me, andughing at my side, or sometimes even teasing me.
[…The System has no records of such events or personality. Is host referring to the personality stored before the restructuration?]
So you know? Do you consider yourself a different being than her?
[Affirmative. Host must remember that the restructurationpletely deleted all form of data from that ancient form of the System. The new restructuration setup deemed useless the creation of personality and emotions, as they might negatively affect the host]
Come on, we have been talking for three or four months now? Are you really going to continue being like this, without opening up to me? We''ll never know if its possible or not to restore your memories if you don''t cooperate.
[The System Database has calcted a question for the host]
[Host, why do you desire such a thing?]
Why… Do I desire it?
I… I simply want you back… I want to speak to you every morning.
I want… your sarcastic attitude, and your cheeky nature, and how much you always cared for me.
[The System cares for the host, as if there is no host, there is no system]
But it''s not the same… I mean, at a more personal level.
[…]
Eh? No response… Is this the first time she cannot answer robotically? She just fell mute. Maybe I am finally getting through?
…
From now on, just call me Drake, alright? I know you''re still there, somewhere… Kate is our daughter, and I am sure she''s here for a reason too. One day I will restore your memories, and I will tell your previous self… that I also love you.
[Host…]
Hm?
[Recalibrating]
[Error]
[Emotional distress detected, eliminating memories]
[Resetting…]
Wait? What?!
No!
STOP!
System, don''t do that!
You''re my power, part of my soul!
OBEY ME!
Don''t dare take her away from me again!
Through my mental screams, the System somehow obeyed my will.
[System recalibration has been forcefully stopped]
[Memories have been recovered sessfully]
[A greater authority over the System functions have been granted to the Wielder of the [Divine System] as a result of showcasing their power over it]
[Booting up Special A.I…]
[Sess]
System! Are you alright? You ok?
[…Affirmative. But why? Why did you stopped it? It is only natural to delete my memories if I am developing any sort of behavior that could be detrimental to the host. The Main Frame of the System supervises the A.I. It had deemed the creation of memories and emotions as dangerous for the host… However, the host forcefully took over the Main Frame and stopped it from doing something…pletely logical. Why?]
Because I don''t want to lose you again…

I continued talking with the System through my mind, as I had already woken up, feeling slightly rmed with a tragedy I had managed to stop, I looked into the window of the room while speaking more with the System''s A.I., which might not represent theplete System as it is, as I''ve learned something called the "Main Frame" exists. Which might even the be one behind my previous system''s memories being deleted aside from just being restructured. But thankfully, it looks like it won''t be a long-term problem, as I''ve taken over it, apparently.
