"......Hmm? Wait a minute!?"
The notification came so suddenly that Duanmu Huai was momentarily stunned before he realized what was happening, nearly jumping up!
Duanmu Huai frequently pressed the GM complaint button for fun, since he mysteriously received this system. Logically, if there’s a system, there must be a GM to maintain it. Of course, every time he pressed it before, it showed GM not connected, but Duanmu Huai didn’t care. He always felt like if he persisted, something might come out of it...... And it actually did!
"Is anyone there? Talk to me, damn it!"
With this thought, Duanmu Huai roared in anger, and then heard two screams from the other side.
Wait, two screams?
"Wah...... What do we do? It’s talking over here suddenly! Sis!"
"Don’t panic, don’t panic, we didn’t do anything! Hurry, shut it off!"
"Which is the shut off? Is it this one?"
Just as Duanmu Huai listened to the voices on the other side, his heart sank, and suddenly, his screen flickered, and a video frame appeared. Then, Duanmu Huai saw two little girls appear in front of him!
One of them had cat-like ears and a tail, and the other had black twin-tails, wore a gothic dress, and had an eyepatch over her right eye. They seemed quite young, probably around ten years old. Seeing these two little girls, Duanmu Huai was stunned, and the two little lolis, upon seeing him, jumped up in fright.
"Wah! There’s a big bad guy, Mommy———!"
Screaming all the while, the two little lolis dashed out of the video frame, crying as they ran away.
.............
What the heck is all this?
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was completely bewildered, but he continued to stare at the screen, wanting to see what would happen next. After all, connecting with the GM clearly indicated someone was responsible for the whole system mess! He wanted to find out who did this to him!
But soon after, the video communication was cut off, and the system once again displayed a message.

"What on earth is this? What’s this system all about? Answer me quickly!"
At this point, Duanmu Huai angrily slammed the table and roared, having been inexplicably sent to this world, and tormenting him for so long. It was impossible for him not to have some fire in his heart. After all, Duanmu Huai was not exactly a person with a good temper!
[GM31321: As you can see, this system is a custom-built auxiliary program for those who traverse to an Isekai]
"Isekai? Isn’t this a game world?"
Seeing the response, Duanmu Huai furrowed his brows. He had been questioning whether this was an Isekai or a game world, as the two are different; an Isekai is a real world, while a game world, no matter how realistic, is just a compilation of data.
"I’ve played the Star Sky game, don’t try to fool me, many things I’ve encountered here are exactly the same as in the game."
[GM31321: Star Sky is a simulation game developed by our company based on real data. Using Synapus’s advanced technology, we simulated various possible trajectories of the world and presented them to players in a game format. The game itself serves more as initial training and knowledge reserve for players to better adapt to the world post-transmission]
So it’s like a Virtual Universe?
Duanmu Huai recalled hearing Aisida mention that the Black Tower Space Station’s research subjects seemed similar.
"So I should be thanking you, huh?"
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.
[GM31321: No need to thank us; it was your own luck that granted you the qualification to travel to an Isekai]
"Well, I’m not sure if my luck is good or bad......"
Duanmu Huai sighed silently. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Indeed, he was the one who confirmed the damn user agreement. Strictly speaking, nobody would seriously consider a clause stating "agreeing to this agreement carries a certain chance of traveling to an Isekai," but they did clearly write it, and he didn’t take it seriously.
As for being a covert operation, Duanmu Huai really didn’t think of himself as someone who would be selected for something like a covert operation. After all, if they were looking for Star Sky game pros, there were many people more impressive than him. Duanmu Huai was only first tier; he wasn’t T0 level, and there were thousands of players with the same strength level as him.
So they picked him out from those thousands?
...... Damn it, it would be better to consider it a covert operation!
"So, what’s up with fighting the Chaos Evil God?"
[GM31321: This is one of our objectives. The battle between Chaos and Order is a long and arduous war. The Universe is boundless, and solely relying on our company doesn’t provide enough strength to restore the entire Universe’s balance, hence we require assistance from others]
"So you chose me, huh?"
[GM31321:...... Hehe (＾＿－)]
.........
Duanmu Huai really wished he could reach through the internet and punch them.
"Then why was there never a response when I pressed GM before? Were you all pretending to be dead?"
