Clarice stared in silence at the heavily embellished ceiling filled with childish graffitis and cute giraffes, which severely lacked the proper physical components of the real ones. Her mind was blank, perhaps because of her entanglement with “system” and experiences up to that point.

It was like everything was put on 2x speed ever since she fainted. About that, she still hadn’t figured out why she fainted.

The only thing she was sure of was the fact that Sy was here, and she needed to win his heart.

Distant memories of her sister, Charlotte, was hindered by some obstructions like she lost some connections in her brain. She no longer had a deeply held resentment as the feelings turned to apathy and doldrum.

At that moment, Clarice felt as if her brain had been replenished and revamped to a point where she didn’t recognize herself anymore. Things that defined her — her laziness, audaciousness, humorousness (?) — no longer clung to her like a second skin.

“Was I bold? I was funny? I don’t remember being these things. I don’t know. Should I care?”

“Why was I even here? Oh him. Sy. How, Why do I feel this way toward him? It’s like…it’s like…it’s…I don’t remember. System Arpha? Can you tell me my assignment again?”

System Arpha has received your request: Yen’s goal is to get Sy’s love. There is no specific rule limiting what you could do to accomplish this. Our database has a thousand and two hundred cases of Yens dealing with similar situations. Yen could see two of them for free at the moment as a part of the prize in the “grand beginner’s gift box.” Does Yen wish to proceed?

“Yes. Yes I do.” Clarice felt like she was going to lose herself if she did not get her determination back. She had no idea what happened to her that made her lose her sense of purpose, but she needed to get back on track.

Yen's Name Julie Assignment Winning back her ex-husband’s heart Assignment Difficulty Easy Rank A Process Julie switched soul with her ex-husband’s current wife by purchasing the “soul-switching (5 days)” in our system store. Result of the World Julie killed both her ex-husband and his current wife for revenge.

Clarice remained cold as she read the information that appeared in her brain in the form of a screen, she remained cold as she scrolled through and saw the significant similarity of their assignments, but she couldn’t remain cold and had to break her face when she saw how Julie had completed her task.

“What? Whaaaat??? She just switched soul? It works like that? I have no points though? This is obviously not of any help, System.”

Yen, your inquiries have been heard. Switching soul is one of our new six hundred features updated this morning to our system store. For Yen’s points, Yen have currently five points in the System from getting Sy’s curiosity. If Yen did not get the reference Yen needed, does Yen wish to see another?

“Five points? Wait when did I get his curiosity? Was he…amazed by the fact I was born in less than three seconds? Or did his shock turn to amusement when I murmured his name? Wait system let’s put that aside for a moment. Does Sy understand babish?”

Does Yen wish to see Sy’s profile?

While Clarice was bewildered at System’s capabilities, a black screen appeared in her mind after she hesitantly said yes.

Name Sy Chan Age 27 Identity Human Code World H 303 Nationality Mangolian Death Rate 60% Accomplishments Master Chef, Master Technician, Master of language (35 languages so far), Master of dance (ballet especially), Master of CEOs (80 companies under his name so far), and Master of millionaires (Top 1% in the world).

Clarice stared in amazement at all the information appearing in her mind. Her previous measures of Sy’s success and status in life was of nowhere near the progress and tremendous accomplishments she saw now.

Barely keeping her fingers (an abstract hand in her brain) from excited trembling while scrolling through the page, her imaginary fingers stopped on the accomplishment section and started to uncontrollably shudder, leading her to accidentally click on it.

Which accomplishment does Yen wish to see in detail?

Clarice clicked on Master of Language.

Accomplishment: Master of Language

Language types: Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, French, Arabic, Bengali, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Urdu, Indonesian, English, German, Babish…”

“SO HE DID UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS SAYING!”

Clarice sat up suddenly, her eyes widened in shock and horror, her mocking smile instantly solidified, and her mouth opened in an O shape, making her double chin defiantly evident and noticeable. She was utterly stunned as if she had lost her voice, turned numb, speechless, and powerless.

“This is very bad, very bad, very bad, very, bad….”

It was like a mighty bolt out of the blue, striking fear and doubt into Clarice’s mind and making her fearful of her life, not just her assignment anymore.

“If he knew what I said, then it explains how I got five points...kind of, but what if he wants to study me? Research me? Report me to human research center as a “devotion to humanity?” I mean I would…probably do that if I were him…still!”

It didn’t take long before Clarice was interrupted in her turbulent thought by the noise of an opening door.

“Julie? Gugugaga? You awake honey? Gugugu gugu gaga gaga?” A croaky voice of a female resonated in the large room and undoubtedly made it to Clarice’s tiny ears, of which the owner listened in utter confusion, even suppressing the want to question out loud, because of the weird sounds seemingly intended to imitate a baby’s mumbles. Well, unsuccessfully.

Gugugaga? What does she think I am? A baby???

Faced with the abashing feeling that brought a heavily reddened blush to her baby face, Clarice was more than humiliated. On that spot, she even crafted out several ways of torturing the woman with her "euphonious" singing voice.

Tenens detected. Does Yen wish to take on the replacement?

Strangely, two buttons with black rims in a full green screen appeared out of nowhere in Clarice’s mind, and with it the unexpected gasp and wheeze of a surprised individual.

Yen must choose carefully. A Tenens possess 2x the sensitivity of a normal physique, and Yen would need to purchase the store’s “Carcasses Or Real Torso? *10 points*” item in order to reclaim Yen’s current body. Time limit for consideration is -

With absolutely no official account or deep-thoughts into the matter, Clarice heartlessly interrupted System, “YES YES YES! Whatever 2x sensitivity is I need to get rid of this body I don’t want to be dissected I want cute boys I like life I love life yes please gimme that.”

Clarice unhesitantly pressed on the “YES” with ecstatic euphoria. However, she barely noticed a minutia at the top right of the green screen: a flashing red star.

System has received Yen’s request. Transforming takes place in 3…2…1...

Clarice blacked out with excitement on her face.
