Journey to One Piece

5. Advent of the system

"This new grandson of mine is anything but normal." Garp thought as he stepped on the deck of the naval ship that had arrived to pick him up from his vacation. He was very much happy to gain another grandson but he was also intrigued about him. Though he acted normal when the baby 'talked' with him, he was shocked inside. In all the years in the sea he had never seen such an intelligent baby. 

The baby never cried. Whenever the baby needed food or other help, he would intelligently point it out. He could also see that the baby was trying to understand their speech as fast as possible. Everything about this baby was screaming 'adult' rather than a baby.

"Whatever!! He looks so cute, just like Ace. Sengoku will be jealous." With those thoughts in his mind, he sat on his reclining chair on the deck and went to sleep while the naval ship sailed on its way to the headquarters. 

Ken and Ace were left to the care of Dadan, and thus their life entered the monotonous phase. Well, it was monotonous for Ken, Ace who could walk was already having a blast roaming the house and going out for small adventures nearby. Ken struggled with his boredom but there was nothing he could do.

In this way 10 more months passed away and one fine day, Ken became the happiest person in the family. Why do you ask? Well, he finally learnt to walk again. But that was not the only reason he was happy. He was in the 9th cloud just because of the fact that he heard something which he thought was impossible.

The sound of a system ringing in his head!!!!!

The standard system that every transmigrator should get once they cross over. Well at least, that was the belief Ken had when he came here. After the first few months he had given up hope that he would even get any kind of help. He was devastated inside, because he felt he wouldn't amount to much if he didn't have a plug in.

Ken had a good idea of how cruel and broken this world was and how badly he needed power. And now finally he had the help he had dreamt of. The others who saw him having a huge smile on his face as he took his first steps were also happy. Especially Dadan!! She had a huge smile and in order to celebrate he put 6 cigarettes on her mouth together to smoke. Ace too was happy to see the young brother of his taking his first steps. He could now talk for a bit and understand what others were saying. 

While all this was happening, Ken took some more steps and reached the chair to sit on it. He needed to check the system. The others after a small celebration went on to their work as they usually did. After Ace saw that Ken was not ready to take another step with him, left too, to look around the house and search for interesting things. Ken was relieved to see that everyone was gone and he could finally check his system in peace. He was willing to open the system in his mind and soon he heard the prompt that he had heard when he took his first step.

[

Welcome to the Life Simulator System 

]

"Simulator system? Sounds generic. I think I read some novels using this system before. What is the main function of the system?" Ken asked in his mind.

[

The Life Simulator System gives the host and his friends a chance to live another life from another world. It could be any random world in the multiverse. The person would gain powers or knowledge depending on the life he had lived. After completing 100% of the power accumulation and knowledge in the real world, the host or his friends would get another chance to live another life in the system and this process would continue.

]

"What? Live another life? Are you serious? I thought the simulator would allow me to live in the future. But it's another life. This is good. If I could live the life of Saitama then it would be game over for the people of this world."

Ken was already daydreaming after hearing the first explanation of the system. He knew that any kind of Simulator would be powerful but he didn't expect that he would get to live the life of another life. 

"Wait if I live another life, wouldn't I be affected psychologically as I have lived a long time in the body of another person?"

[

Rest assured host. The side effects would be taken care of by the system and would even make sure that the core memories aren't being tampered with and there is no effect psychologically. Of course, if the host or his friends would like to take inspiration from the lives he or she had lived then it is up to the person. There is nothing the system could do.

]

"That is of course!! Wait!! If I live the life of another person with the help of the system, wouldn't time be a problem with living in the real world?" Ken asked as he could already imagine him living a life in a different place while being absent in the real world.

[

When the host or his friends live a life in the system, the real world would only experience a passage of 1 sec completion so rest assured the host about living the life. 

]

"So only 1 sec will pass in the real world. That's good! That's good!! System, can I have my first life now?"

[

Of course host! You have taken the first step so you are already eligible to live the first life. But the system will remind the host that the percentage of completion and gaining powers in real life would solely depend on the host. And only after 100% completion can a person live another life.

]

"Yes!! Yes!! Whatever, just let me live another life."
