Pov: Vik
"Become my disciple, and as your teacher, I will ensure you find your answers, get justice, and regain memories of your loved ones. Even if fate and this entire world try to stop you, I will make you strong enough to resist them."
After hearing my words and seeing my serious expression, she stopped crying and said, "I am willing. I want to be your disciple."
With that, we officially became student and teacher, and the system soon confirmed it.
"Ding, Host accepted disciple Lina Rosewell."
"Ding, Host receives reward #$%^^%$#$."
"Ding, system is experiencing an error in rewarding host. Trying again."
"Ding, system is blocked from main system space."
"Ding, system's personal treasury is also blocked and sealed. Therefore, the system cannot give any reward."
Along with the confirmation of the disciple, the system showed several other notifications where it tried to grant me rewards, which it usually does when I accept a new disciple. But this time, it couldn't because of some blockage.
To get more information, I asked the system, "What happened to you?"
System: "Host, my personal treasury has been blocked and sealed. This must be because the main system sees me as a rogue system responsible for causing errors in multiple other systems."
Vik: "What is your treasury?"
System: "Host, the system's personal treasury is like your personal system storage. It is a separate space exclusive to the system, where rewards are stored based on missions and conditions. The system can also request more rewards from the main system space if needed."
Vik: "So now you can't give any rewards, right?"
System: "Yes, host."
Vik: "I knew from the beginning that you were just a chatbot who trapped me by crying endlessly to bond with you. Why not change your name to System GPT? At least that would make you seem like a proper chatbot."
System: "Please don't say those things. I'm already stressed about the current situation. Do you have any idea how much I suffer? First, some system chooses a host from another system, creating a chain. Because of that, my original host was taken from me. After that, I searched for a new host, and by some cursed luck, I found an arrogant snake who, right after starting his journey in this world, summoned an outer god-level entity. This led to me being separated and blocked by the main system space. Now, because of all this, I am blamed as the rogue system by everyone, including you."
System: "Tell me, host, am I that useless?"
I don't know why, but my words seemed to hit the system hard, and now it was filled with self-doubt. I never intended to hurt its feelings. I wasn't even sure if the system had feelings, but seeing its emotional response, I thought it might. To calm it down, I said, "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I was just joking. You know, with your limited humor, you didn't get human jokes. Don't worry, everything will be alright; we will find a way."
System: "Host, I'm just a chatbot now because I got punished for things I didn't do. How can things ever get better?"
Vik: "Don't worry, system. You know I dislike injustice. We will get you justice, even if we have to confront that main system space of yours. Now, don't dwell on it and show me Lina's status. You still have that function, right?"
System: "Yes, host, I will do it right away."
I successfully calmed the system and shifted its focus to showing me Lina's status. I also needed to learn about my third disciple because I definitely planned to take revenge on that main system space and that awful devouring system in the future.
"Ding, showing disciple Lina Rosewell's status:
Name: Lina Rosewell
Age: 16 years
Affinity: Metal, Fire, and Water
Realm: None (Crippled)
Martial Soul: None
Physique: Magic Supreme Physique (Broken)
Possession: None
Artifact: None
Luck: Chaotic (Mostly negative)
Special Status: Cursed by Soul Spirit Butterfly, memory loss, unknown curse fated to die a brutal death alone, Unknown Curse Bearer dies in 7 days
Title: Third-rate villain, Unfortunate soul, Young miss of Rosewell family.
Evaluation: She was born into one of the top families in terms of wealth and influence. But fate had different plans for her. She unknowingly bullied the sister of the protagonist and became a target for revenge in the protagonist's mind. Eventually, she met her end at the hands of that same protagonist. She was allowed to live only to die a worthless beggar without her memories. It was her fate to die in the slums of Azure Mountain City, due to hunger and injuries. But due to an arrogant snake, her fate is now chaotic."
Looking at her status, I can confidently say that she had the worst status and fate among most of my disciples. Even if Lu Xiaoran had crippled cultivation, there was at least cultivation and martial soul. But she had nothing; her status showed nothing in those sections.
The only thing worth looking at is her Magic Supreme physique, which is broken. Sigh! I think I had to put more efforts in teaching her.
