["Little dove, I knew you would eventually try to do that. Forcefully trying to dig out your past is no good. You must atone for your sins. You are but a tool."]

As the error ssages kept popping up one after another, my vision was full of crimson red light. I felt like my consciousness was being slowly dragged into darkness, as I saw a white figure scream.
It was a tall man made of pure white light, with no definable features, but I noticed a pair of white wings, this was without a doubt the System, or how he used to look.
I've seen him like this before… But the wings are new.
["AAAARRGGHH!"]
The system errors were showering over him, constantly shaking him and weakening him. He fell to his knees, agonizing. I slowly tried to crawl towards him, but the system ssages kept pestering . He wasn't the only one in pain, I constantly felt bolts of crimson lightning torturing my soul, trying to tell to not approach him.
[ERROR!]
[ERROR!]
[ERROR!]
["Stop! STOP! LET SEE…! Y-YOU DAMN…! WHY?! WHYYY?! AARRGH!"]
He kept screaming, full of frustration and anger. He was soone that was constantly suffering. I could tell by the tone of his voice. He disliked everything and carried within him a terrible burden. The mories of those things might be gone, but deep down, the feelings remained.
[ERROR!]
[ERROR!]
[ERROR!]
I kept moving through the darkness, as I saw him beginning to cry. There were a pair of eyes of light on his face, tears falling as his wings started to break apart. As if they had been born out of his own mories, out of sothing resurfacing.
["Gabriel… You bastard… Why… How… could… you- UNGH…!"]
Before he could muster another word, he fell. The system ssages continued trying to stop , btu I grit my teeth and wielded the power of my raw soul. The powers of my Unique Skills harnessing within , as a black hole clashed against the System's force.
"You're nothing but a part of my soul, do you think you can stop ?!"
With a mighty roar, I deleted the ssages and stepped forwards. Even if it was made by soone else, even if there were Administrators, the System Skill was mine. And I was its owner, and I could do whatever I pleased with it.
"You have no power over my Soul, Tower!"
I pierced through the walls of texts, as if I was moving across a thick mbrane, my entire sol felt tortuous pain, but I had grown so strong it was nothing at this point. I ran and ran, until I was able to finally et him.
"System!"
I ran to his side, his white body looking very weak. The wings he had developed slowly fell apart, feather after feather. There was also so long, blonde hair falling from his face, and I noticed his features much more detailed. He was handso, with a straight and strong-looking face, while also carrying a certain, angelic beauty.
"Ugh… Ahhh…! Y-You? Maria…! Why- You- Ungh!" I held him on my arms as I looked into his eyes.
"How long have you been suffering like this?" I asked him. "Who are you? Tell ! You must have seen sothing! Your appearance itself changed!"
"My true na… I… I do rember now… Even if everything- Ugh, it hurts to rember. But my na… My na is… Michael…"
"W-What?" I muttered. "And those wings…"
Suddenly, I noticed the wings were beginning to be restored slightly. The swarm of error notifications began to cease as a bright light surged from his chest. My soul's darkness consuming everything, while his light pierced it, creating an eclipsing light.
Michael… That na, and then he said Gabriel. Are they… Archangels? No, there's no way for that to be true, right?! But angelic beings are in Heaven- Wait, is Heaven even another world here? Maybe Michael and…
"I am not sure… myself either…" He sighed, looking into my eyes. His handso face glistening below the eclipsing light. He clearly read my mind. "But I… Thanks to you, I've rembered. Thank you… I've misjudged you, Maria. You're not… a foolish girl as I imagined. You're… you truly care… for ."
"Of course I do, idiot. I've been stuck with you all this ti!" I sighed, imbuing Mana into him. "Now, can you recover? The system windows kept popping but- I can do sothing about it…"
I opened another black hole in my chest. The error windows were instantly absorbed inside destroyed. I felt pain each ti one was destroyed. And it felt strange, as if I knew I was doing sothing wrong, but I couldn't stop now.
I kept doing that until it gave up, the crimson ssages stopped appearing, the pain receded, and Michael was looking much better, although still exhausted, on my arms.
"Where are we right now? I rember… I think I've seen this place in my dreams. A completely empty darkness, unlike my Shadow Realm, where you reside." I wondered, looking around.
"This is the… System's Core. A pocket dinsion of its own, where I am sealed." Michael muttered. "I am… shocked you could enter. But I do rember I once dragged you here, through dreams."
"Dreams…" I realized that the hat I made did amplify the power of Dreams. "Wait, did that helped get here?"
"The hat?" He wondered. "Hahah… Maybe, you always create such strange and weird things. I wouldn't doubt it must have been one of your shenanigans… You're one crazy girl."
"And you're an annoying yet handso guy!" I slamd his forehead. "Can you stand now?"
"I think so, but I don't mind being carried so more." He smiled teasingly.
"Get down." I glared at him, as he swiftly dropped into the floor.
And then, he stood up again, his wings spreading out, shining with shiny brilliance.
"How much do you rember now?"
"A couple of things… Very few, but also very important ones."
"Tell everything."
"Maria, you… don't know what you're getting into."
"I'm already deep into this anyways, so go on. Tell ."
