I have been dating Rem for 5 months, and we have yet to take the final step in our relationship. I think she's holding back because I haven't told her enough about myself.
That Changes today.
I look at the system's options and approach Rem, "Can we talk for a moment? In private."
She nods and smiles at me that radiant smile that I can't get enough of. "Yes, I'd quite like that."
Entering my room, and closing the door, locking it behind me along with Rem. She tenses, "I don't think I'm ready for the fina-" I interrupt her. "This isn't what this is about, Rem, I'm tired of keeping my secrets from you." I immediately save my game in case this goes horribly wrong, Knowing that I would go insane if I lost her and probably destroy this entire world. I nod at my decision to tell her everything internally.
"To start this long conversation off, I'm from beyond the waterfall." letting that sink in, she nodded, and said, "I don't care, You are you and It doesn't matter what world you have come from." I nod, and continue. "I have seen the fate of this world, the fate of you, and every person related to you, using an object called a television, and words written on a book that decries this entire world as fiction in my world. I now know that this world is real, the future had I not come here being set in tragedy."
She slowly takes that in and looks me in the eyes for 30 seconds. "I... believe you."I nod and continue. "In the future, I saw, you fall in love with the most useless person, Who has only the ability to live a day again, and uses that to manipulate everyone, all in the search for a perfect happy ending. Where he and Emelia and only Emelia run along and get married in a beautiful ceremony with everyone saved and alive, and no tragedy befalling anyone."
I scoff, "In this world, that's impossible." Before she can interrupt I start to tear up, "He abandoned you, for a woman who would never love him. He let you basically be wiped from existence and then rot in a bed in this estate with no hope of ever recovering your memory. Your sister, would not remember you, everyone who knew you would never remember you existed. You would also be unable to move, speak, or even be aware of anything at all. You'd be a husk and It'd be his fault."
"I love you, and I'm almost certain that He's unknowingly the Sin archbishop of pride or maybe vainglory even if that one only ever existed in legend. He ruins everything he touches and then just tries to fix it by eradicating a timeline and creating a new one to feel good about himself."
I nod, "That's why I'm giving you this."
I spend the 1000000 points I've been saving up and initiate a system merger with Rem as a beneficiary.

I start having doubts if the one I love is sane, but then.
[System installing on secondary host.]

I numbly follow the instructions beamed directly into my mind as William begins to fidget uncomfortably.

I direct my thoughts to the system. "Is everything that William said true?"
["Affirmative, the one who is known as Natsuki Subaru, though he does not know it, is the Sin Archbishop of Vainglory. He is incredibly weak but has the ability to wipe out timelines that he does not survive in using his authority. His authority then seeks out an alternate version of himself in the myriad planes of existence and inserts himself into the version of himself that survives the event via foreknowledge."]
["Affirmative Your fate is one that was destined to be wiped out by the Sin Archbishop of gluttony. Your history and mind will be devoured if the timeline does not change."]
["Affirmative, William winds was sent as a counter-balance to prevent the destruction of this myriad set of planes and eliminate Natsuki Subaru before he Is able to destroy all planes that do not suit his survival. He was selected as the most capable of the humans of Earth-12893719-B-X1."]
["Negative, Emilia will eventually love Natsuki Subaru."]
I take a deep breath, Look at William, Smile weakly, and say, "I believe you." then promptly faint.
