Everyone Else Has a System

"Can you not use your ability on me? How many times do I need to tell you that it doesn't work on me? I am immune to it," I spoke nonchalantly as I walked towards the Pride's kingdom beside her.

"But it is really baffling me, you know? I have seen no monster, forget about a human to actually repel my ability… just who were you? Perhaps a God!!" she exclaimed as she observed me with a really mystified look. Perhaps the idea of me being a God was liked by her?

'Even last time, every time we fought, she continuously tried using her ability on me… heck, even if we didn't fight, she was continuously trying,' I sighed before observing her and speaking.

"So… you were about to ask something?"

She looked at me and nodded before speaking,"you talked about Layla dying or something. At first I was baffled and a bit sad, but now that I think about it, you talked about the future. Same with the Parasites coming. Can you see the future or something?"

Her serious gaze penetrated me and I clicked my tongue inwardly as I sighed before speaking,"something like that… though it isn't exactly precise. Also, I have a few other sources too… so there is that."

"Can I guess it?" She asked with a bit of a smile and I clicked my tongue again as I sighed before I spoke,"Do whatever you like."

"Haha… somehow I am finding it amusing how you are talking with me as if you know me through and through… you are a regressor, aren't you?" She spoke, making me almost trip on my feet as I turned to her with a bit of concentrated gaze.

"Well, looks like I am more or less right. Is that the reason that my powers don't work on you? Because you travelled through time or something?" She asked, and I asked immediately,

"How?"

She smiled at me before speaking,"I will answer, but on one condition."

"I will save Layla," I spoke without any hesitation. In fact, that is why I told her about this. I wanted to strike a deal with her. Though she chuckled a little as she spoke,"not very bright minded, are we? Well what I want is not to save Layla. I want you to take me to Layla or else I will tell everyone about you being a regressor… just kidding. Though I would still like you to take me there."

I almost decided to kill her but… sigh, this b*tch just doesn't stop talking, does she? Even if her ability doesn't work, her manner of talking and speaking are enough to manipulate people into giving her what she wants… Well, not that it matters much to me.

"So… Can you take me out of here?" She asked with a bit of curious expression and I saw a bit of hope in them. Though I sighed before speaking,"well… I don't have a way to do it… for now that is."

Though at first she was sad, hearing the last part of my sentence, her eyes lit up before she looked at me,"that means…"

I smiled at her as I spoke,"I will put some limitations on you and the others before I take you there. Don't want you guys to create a mayhem there. But… I will need you to come to my aid in the war against the Parasites on the Planet Vermillion."

"Sounds unfair but… I guess beggars can't be choosers," she smiled as she answered me and I sighed on the inside again.

'Knowing her and the others, they will surely prepare for a contingency plan against my measures but… I guess it is fine. I could always kill them if they become a threat to me,' I thought as I looked at her before turning at the people around the area.

​ They were all blue coloured like Pride and there was a single small horn on their left side. The people of Pride were looking at me curiously as they bowed to Pride.

"There were three things that gave up your identity as a regressor," she started speaking as she looked up the way at her castle. I, too, looked at that castle intently with a bit of seriousness as she continued,

"One is that you always acted as if you were familiar with me, or more like not just me, but all of us. I can more or less read the emotions of everyone around me. Just because you have an ability to reject my powers, doesn't mean I lost my ways of reading people. Even before in my previous life as a human, I could read people as if reading the back of my hand."

She yawned as she raised both her hands up and stretched a bit to the back and continued,

"The second is the fact that you talked more about the future than the present. It's as if you are living in the future that is to come, rather than in the present itself. You might be an overthinker, but honestly, you are more of a planner type than an overthinker. You just plan enough before coming to where you naturally belong, which should be the current time, but you actually don't."

I saw her receiving gifts from people and giving blessings to the children around her. If it wasn't for the dark gloomy atmosphere, this was quite a beautiful sight to see.

"The third and the last reason was your way of answering me. If you had answered the future being sure, I would have taken you as a time reader or someone with a foresight ability, but you weren't sure of the future.

Which made me 95% sure that you were a regressor. I mean, the sole reason you weren't sure that things aren't gonna be the way they are is… because… you have already changed a lot of things from your timeline and now you aren't sure what's gonna happen and what's not."

I couldn't speak a single word in front of her as I looked at her, chuckling at my expression.

"The rest 5% was all your reactions and the way you were baffled," she laughed out loud as I looked at her with a bit of stupefied expression
