System 20231207, a novice Teacher System drifting through the cracks between worlds, accidentally fell into a rift and urgently needed a Host.
But the part of the rift it landed in had just been struck by a temporal storm. There wasn't a living thing in sight, not even a speck of dust, let alone a qualified Host!
Wait, it actually found one!
20231207 bound the Host without hesitation and immediately activated a space jump, taking them to the mission world without a second thought.
After landing, the System realized its Host seemed a little dim, perhaps unable to speak, and also blind. Still, that was all right. As a System, it could provide a golden finger!
The beginner's gift lets you draw a character for free, bound to you for life!
[You have drawn: Satoru Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen]
The System was overjoyed by the result. Based on its meager knowledge, this man was the sort of character who could never go out of character, leaving plenty of room for trial and error!
But it didn't have much energy right now, so it couldn't change the Host's appearance.
So it looked over its Host: white hair, blue eyes, six feet tall. Perfect! What a coincidence!
A special attack against Chinese people has appeared! [Struck through]
Just as the System was brimming with confidence, envisioning the future, feeding its Host grand promises while dreaming of a promotion, a raise, and a place in the top hundred Systems (not), it discovered
Huh? This world is a crossover universe! A bandage-wearing nut and a little shinigami detective in the same world, with curses and supernatural abilities flying everywhere!
Huh? This world is also on the Boss Dazai route, and there are curses but no Satoru Gojo. Which alternate universe is this? But it's great that there isn't a Satoru Gojo here, so the Host won't get exposed in front of the real one!
Now it just needs to make up a story, and the Host can easily use Satoru Gojo's abilities without having to act like him!
But the Host is mute and blind, and seems really quiet. Will they be able to pull this off?
The System fretted, watching as the Host casually made up one flimsy story after another, its heart in its throat.
Host, that's wrong! Satoru Gojo would say this here!
No, no! This is how Satoru Gojo should act here!
While it was worrying itself sick over the Host, it began to realize that something was off...
Huh? The world recognizes you as Satoru Gojo now. Not bad, Host.
Huh? Why has your acting score suddenly gotten so high? You're incredible, Host! I knew I was right about you.
Then it discovered that its Host was getting more and more eccentric, completely beyond its comprehension, even more so than the original Satoru Gojo. The whole System gradually started to lie flat.
Very good. I just feel like you don't really need me anymore.
I'm just a cute little novice System. All I know how to say is, "I'm hungry, carry me, big shot!"
Wait, Host, what did you say? You're Satoru Gojo?!
