A circle of light appeared on his feet, with countless runes and symbols that Arthur did not recognize. Little by little, that circle started to rise.
That was when the new torture started. But it was a pain that consisted of pleasure and relief. Even though it hurt a lot, Arthur didn't care anymore. No tears came, no screams, no reactions.
As soon as he touched his feet, all the missing toes started to grow back, all the cuts closed, but also a black slime appeared. The higher it went, the more pain he was feeling. When it finally reached his knees, they made an unnatural movement and returned to the place. A tear came down.
When it reached his groin, he felt more pleasure than pain, since it was one of the untouched parts. Still, a black slime came out, which joined with the dark color of his pants.
The nightmare started from the abs. It was the most bruised area, along with the chest and arms. The pleasure of recovery was insufficient to overcome the pain. Tears started to fall from his eyes, but no screams, just whispers of pain.
The black slime came out everywhere, including the area of his lung, which expelled them through the airways. It was definitely the worst thing that was ever in Arthur's mouth. He preferred to live in hell eating the canteen salad for eternity.
After spitting, even though the taste still insisted, it was much better. When it reached the chest, the circle was divided into three. Two for the arms and one for the head.
After everything was over, the room was dark, with bloodstains and black goo everywhere. After a few seconds, new messages appeared.

Soon, a screen full of information appeared in front of Arthur.

'A system? After all this pain? I've always read some novels about it. I didn't think it would happen to me. I could have come at a more opportune time. ' Arthur smiled sarcastically 'At least I got my body back' As he looks around, he realizes that he is trapped in his chair by countless ropes and belts. 'Let's test my new strength.'
With some effort, he manages to snap his belts. After that, the strings became easier.
Assessing his new strength, he nods. "it's enough to get by". Walking slowly to the door, he continues to study his surroundings. After noticing some things, he realizes that the room has sound insulation, to prevent his screams from disturbing the beautiful sleep of others.
When he touched the latch, he realized that the door was open all the time. "It is really hard to imagine that someone will leave the room after what happened."
Slowly opening the door, he sees that no one is at the table, only the weapons and some food. The moment he saw the food, his eyes widened, and only now did he realize the pain of hunger he was feeling. When he looked down, he realized that he was much thinner, all the fat was gone.
His body almost jumped to devour the food, but he endured the urge. 'I don't know if anyone is awake.'
After opening the door, he slowly walked over to the table, checking to see if anyone was awake. Fortunately for fate, a gun had a silencer. 'It looks like I'm not even that unlucky' a threatening smile appears on his face.
Taking off his shirt and putting it in his hand, he checks that the gun is loaded. 'I'm not good at aiming, so I better take another cartridge.'
Just as he was checking the gun, the muscular little man appeared from where the kitchen was supposed to be.
He was whistling low, until the moment he saw someone who shouldn't be there "Hey, what ..." A bullet went through his head.

'The good old experience, isn't it? I got more excited now. ' A smile appeared on his face. 'Only this Karma guy who is kind of weird.' He walked slowly towards every room he could find. After a while, he found the tall guy's room. He was still awake, sitting on his bed, playing what looked like a PSP. The moment he heard the bedroom door open, it was just time to look, before a bullet went through his head.

'Today I'm really looking forward' Smiling to himself, Arthur started walking over to the dead guy 'I think Thomas will like this New Year's gift' He picked up the PSP and put it on the table.
'Now let's look for those two bastards.'
