CHAPTER 114: JACK DOESN’T KNOW WHAT A FLESHLIGHT IS AND THAT’S A PROBLEM

The Supreme Man’s divinity had gone inside me.

Sus? I know.

But I was sure of it.

I asked my system about it and he said the same thing. I had divinity inside me.

But then the real question came—How much deeper did it penetrate? I mean, how much divinity did I get?

I guessed 50 percent.

It was wrong.

Then I guessed 30 percent.

Wrong again.

Then I guessed 10 percent.

Bzzt! I was wrong again.

I felt like a female contestant in Who Wants to be a Millionaire who already lost and had to give money herself to the show for wasting their time.

Anyway, after the constant wrong answers, I asked the System directly just how much divinity I have and the System answered me with no bullshit as well:

[ A whole 1 percent! Wait... oh, right. Correction, after deducting some tariffs and miscellaneous costs, you have a whole 0.5 percent of divinity! Congratulationssss! ]

’... Are you serious right now?’

[ Yes. As serious as a drug peddler who won’t bargain even 1 dollar even if it’s a kid whom he is dealing with. ]

’What’s with that comparison? Don’t try to copy me and at least don’t fail so badly.’

[ Fine. How’s this? I am as serious as you when you were fighting Malthus. ]

I held my head. ’So you are not serious at all!’

[ What’s the problem, anyway? ]

’What’s the problem? Bro, you gave me divinity like someone gives pennies to a beggar who has six packs abs. Even one percent was fine. What am I gonna do with 0.5 percent? What will it even do?’

[ It won’t let you have pimples on your face. ]

’To hell with pimples! Malthus is out for my life and my only strength will be skincare? And why only 0.5? What are those tariffs and miscellaneous costs? Was the divinity coming from a different city that had to pay taxes and shit?’

[ The real meaning is lost in the translations. ]

’Translation? We are only talking in one language!’

[ Because you only know one language now. If you want to learn more try Duolingo. ]

’Don’t promote it for free.’

[ I was just changing the topic. ]

’So you have no answer to why I only got 0.5 percent divinity?’

[ It kept reducing until it reached your way. I too only received nine percent of it. ]

’You got divinity too? And more than me? The Supreme Man prioritised a robotic voice more than a real Human? Musk was right. AI is dangerous.’

[ The Supreme Man gave me that for your sake only. ]

’Oh yeah? How’s that? Now you will take others’ jobs divinely.’

[ Bro, I am not that AI. I am a different one. So stop calling me that otherwise I will start taking subscriptions and your broke ass would have to sell your body to pay for it... monthly ]

"I will pay you if you sell your body to me, pal. Daily."

"Not now, Jack. This is serious."

"I am serious too though."

"Just shut up. And take your hands off your belt."

"Sure."

I sighed heavily and sat back on the floor.

I had stood up after hearing the 0.5 percent part but now I am tired so I would talk the other shit while sitting.

’Jokes aside, tell me, system. What are you gonna do with divinity? And if I don’t have any power then how will I even fight with Malthus?’

[ Now you are asking the right questions. ]

’All my questions were right. It was you who didn’t have any answers for them. Don’t act like a teacher who just unloaded all WWE moves on a kid just because he asked, why would I need to find X? My current girlfriend is better.’

[ Shut up. Listen closely. This is the most important part for you. And more interesting part for me. ]

Sure. The system sounded eager. Eager like a feminist who started howling her lungs out at a man because he asked her to step aside... so that he could bury his dead grandpa.

Nevertheless, I paid attention to the system anyway.

[ I have divinity and while giving me the divinity Supreme Man said only one thing—Make Racis undefeatable. The Divinity gave me great intelligence, a voice, emotions, and most of all, my identity. ]

’You already had intelligence and voice though.’

[ Yes. I had intelligence and voice but now, I am inside your head. Earlier I was just a window in front of your eyes and could only talk when you summoned that window, but now I can talk whenever I want whether you summon a window or not. Just like right now. You don’t have any window open in front of you and I am still talking. ]

’That’s good and all but my mind isn’t the best place to be. You will probably meet something there that could make you lose trust from humanity itself. And yes, a reminder, if you see anything that looks dead or not moving, don’t touch it.’

[ I have already seen everything and instead of humanity, I lost trust from you. I know what you want to do with a donut and don’t even get me started on what you want to do with ducks. ]

’You are acting like this is the first time you have heard all this. Every young man thinks such things.’

[ No, they don’t. Do not try to make yourself appear normal. That Mohawk guy did good by killing you, ]

’Don’t make me remember the past. I am a changed man now. Now I don’t even act blind and press women’s chests.’

[ Changed man, my ass. You don’t press chests anymore because one time you pressed a fat man’s chest by mistake and told him, damn, girl, you packing some heat up here. After that, you woke up in a government hospital while being stared down by a forty year old nurse who looked at you like you were responsible for her periods since she turned twelve. ]

’... I see. How’s the weather today?’

[ Heh, I expected you would say that. Fine. I won’t fry you anymore. ]

’I am not afraid of you, system. I am afraid of what you know now.’

[ Then doesn’t it mean that you are afraid of me? ]

’You can say that but I just didn’t want to admit it for my dignity.’

[ Fair enough. ]

’Now tell me, you said the divinity from the Supreme Man gave you your identity. What did you mean by that?’

[ I will tell you. This is what I am most excited about. I would have fun because of this. ]

’What is it? Did you get a fleshlight? You have to share it with me. You have already seen my thoughts so if I don’t get relief, you know what I might do in the near future.’

"Count me in that too. I don’t know what a fleshlight is but since Racis pal is so hyped, I know it’s something useful for me too. Why should alive people have all the fun?"

This time I didn’t shut Jack up.

’Tell me, system. What is it? What did you got?’

"Yes. Tell me, system pal."

[ Hah! ]

The System sighed? And before I could ask, System finally said what it got...

[ I got a death wish. ]
