Chapter 8 Why Is Everyone Stealing My Destiny?

After Keith read the contents of his second task, he had already expected such a task to occur. But the problem was that he didn't find any suitable host for the Training System yet, or at least to his current knowledge.

'I could give this to any bodybuilder but I don't know anyone who fits that requirement. Not to mention, granting the system to anyone who isn't under my surveillance would prove detrimental to my entertainment.'

Although Keith didn't doubt that the soul parasite could act as his surveillance camera to spy on his system user, he preferred to witness it personally and not through a shared vision from his system.

'I could give the Training System to any of my classmates and schoolmates but so far, none of them had piqued my interest.'

Keith recalled all of his acquaintances within Mint High but none of them were interesting to him.

'I need to choose someone familiar with fictional materials that included the system genre so that they would be able to use the full potential of the Training System. Not to mention, that someone must not be lazy and have the great discipline to continue training non-stop.'

'The Training System is tantamount to those RPG games with ridiculous requirements for in-game grinding. If a gamer is lazy and doesn't grind for hours, they wouldn't be able to get powerful equipment.'

'And the same applies to the Training System. If the system user doesn't endlessly train themselves and just laze around the couch, then their attributes wouldn't increase. The motto: 'no pain, no gain' and 'grinding is eternal' fits the Training System the best.'

Although Keith could grant the Training System to anyone and the SCS (System Creator System) wouldn't restrict him from doing that, he understood that he couldn't give the system to just anyone. After all, the system user would be his stepping stone to becoming powerful.

If the system user that he had chosen couldn't bring out the full potential of the Training System, then the power he would receive would be meager compared to having a host that could bring out the full potential of the system.

'If the system user is powerful, then I am powerful. If the system user is weak, then I am also weak. That should be my relationship with the system user from a power perspective.'

'Of course, if the system user is powerful, I could still easily kill him just by taking away the system from him. Unless that system user managed to obtain power outside the system's influence.'

After thinking about that possibility, Keith now remembered why those smart protagonists in system novels would find a source of power outside the system's influence. It was for the possibility that their system would be taken away from them.

That possibility had entered Keith's mind when he received the System Creator System. But, he didn't care much about it.

After all, what Keith sought was not power, but entertainment.

He could roughly guess that Systema Kami must also have the same motive as him, which was to seek entertainment. And since he had guessed that the two of them had the same interest, then he had also concluded that as long as their interest aligned, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Keith wasn't prideful and arrogant enough to think that a divine existence such as Universal God would take advantage of him. Even if Systema Kami did, that was the least of Keith's worries.

For now, his worry was to find a suitable system host. And because of that, he now understood why those sentient systems wouldn't choose just anyone in becoming their system host.

While Keith was resting his head on his desk and various thoughts surfaced in his mind, the periphery of his vision caught an unexpected scene.

Others might not have seen it but he did due to his Eyes Of Heaven, he could not only see through objects but also theoretically doesn't have any limits when it came to seeing through distant objects.

Using his Eyes of Heaven doesn't seem to be costly and he found out that it consumed his mental power whenever he used it. But that's not the point!

The point was that Keith saw a familiar figure standing on the school rooftop. That wouldn't be a problem since some odd students would have lunch at the rooftop despite the possibility of birds shitting on their lunch boxes but it wasn't lunchtime!

Not only that, the figure was standing near the edge of the rooftop! Adding the depressed expression of the student that was clearly observed by Keith, even if he wasn't a genius, he had seen through the motives of the depressed student.

'The fuck? Why is everyone stealing my destiny?'

'Last time, someone stole my book. Even if the system hadn't told me about the book, it should be an artifact and someone stole my destiny of obtaining it. Afterward, for some unknown reasons, I overslept and missed my chance of joining Class B in their journey to another world.'

'I felt from my gut instinct that I was destined to participate in those events. And my guts had yet to fail me.'

'I remembered the time I threatened the system to jump from a high place and commit suicide but why the fuck is someone doing that now that I haven't done that?'

For the first time in his life, Keith felt that the world had wronged him.

Of course, it was just him being overly dramatic just to entertain himself.

The discovery of someone committing suicide was none of Keith's business as he wasn't a hero nor a psychiatrist.

'But I have to admit, this guy is quite smart.'

'He chose that certain rooftop spot that was isolated by the school buildings. Because of that, unless someone entered the rooftop of that school building, none would be able to know that he is in there. Even I wouldn't know about that unless I used Eyes of Heaven.'

Deciding to intervene, Keith ran outside the classroom without minding his adviser and classmates' reactions.

He didn't plan to save the student and convince him from halting his actions since he wasn't a know-it-all who could relate to the student's situation.

He only left the classroom to witness the student's upcoming actions for the sake of an unusual experience of witnessing someone jump off a building.

After all, it wasn't every day for Keith to see someone jump off a building. And it might relieve his boredom if he witnessed something new.

Right now, it was debatable whether the student on the rooftop or Keith should be the one who must meet with the psychiatrist.

But, Keith didn't mind that as he was already well aware that he was twisted.

What he did mind was…

'That student might be a suitable host for the Training System!'
