As Jacob's eyes lost vitality, the female cop, Alexia, couldn't help but cry harder, not sure of whether to shake him awake or if that would give him more injuries. She could just hold his hand and try to get him to focus.
The last thing she heard was him saying that he was useful before feeling his hand go limb in hers.
"Hey! You can't die yet! Wake up!" She screamed as tears flowed down her cheeks.
True, she only knew Jacob for a little under an hour, but he saved her life so obviously she would care for him.
As she was being pulled back by her supervisor, she failed to notice the glow on her left hand. All she could vaguely remember was the sound of sirens in the distance. Little did she know this is only the beginning in their relationship.

"It's so dark. Wait...didn't I die? So is this hell then?" Jacob thought to himself.
As Jacob was about to try to look around, or see (feel?) if he has eyes, he felt that his body was being constrained by some sort of hard material.
"Huh? What's this? It feels like it's all around me... wait how can I feel? Ah f*ck it I'll just try to break out." He thought to himself.
As he pushed outwards with all his might, he heard a crack above his head. Excited, he pushed as hard as he can upwards, finally managing to break through the top.
As he tried to look around, he felt that his eyelids were very heavy. He tried to open his eyes, finally succeeded only to find something that left him utterly baffled.
"The f*ck?!" He tried to scream but only heard a squeaky growl.
As he looked down to see his container(?), he found that it was shaped like an egg. Surprised, he started to break out of the egg as fast as he can. First he tried to free his arm only to see a claw like hand breaking out of the shell.
"Holy shit!" Was his only thought before the egg fell over an edge.
As he was falling, he heard a squeaky scream escape from his throat.
Moments later, the sound of an egg breaking was all he could hear before hitting his head on what seemed to be the floor.
As he lifted his head, he looked around to find that he was in a cave like structure about 3 meters wide and 2 meters tall. The ceiling full of pointy rocks. The exit was around 10 meters from where he was.
-Connecting to new Host-
-Connection successful-
-Host now has access to The Immortal Devil System-
"Holy crap!! So I did die back then! Wait what the fuck you mean 'devil'?! I saved someone before I kicked the bucket!!" He thought to himself, shocked and confused at the monotonous voice he heard.
-Message from The Devil God Kazebo-
-Open message?-
He stared at nothing for awhile before a dark red screen appeared out of nowhere making him jump back in fear.
Then he remembered his younger sister talking about something about reincarnation, systems and stuff from manga. Maybe this is it?
"Open message." He thought as the panel that read 'message' blinked into a bigger panel.
"Greetings.
I am the Devil God Kazebo. I have taken pity on you since you have a sliver of devil blood in you. I saved your soul and gave you new life. Of course this isn't for free. You will have to protect my grand-daughter in the mortal realm whenever she may need it. I also prepared a small...'gift' for you. Protect my flesh for 6 month and I will give your sister new life as well. Fail to protect her and... well devils are known for torturing souls, so imagine a Devil God? I have given you a system to help you grow strong and evolve. Good luck."
Jacob read the panel again to make sure what he's seeing is right.
"Shit." Was all he thought. He was both nervous and super excited because he found out he had devil blood apparently. But, more importantly, he had the chance to see his sister again so he felt strong motivation.
From what he remembers from his sisters rambling on the phone, you have to say 'status' to see what you are capable of.
"Status." He thought, as he still couldn't speak.

"Wait...Devil baby? Why am I- holy shit!!!" He thought surprise at his picture at the top of the screen. He. Looked like those demon babies you see in horror movies. He had 3 inch long claws on his scaly hands and feet. He had a spiky tail and razor sharp teeth. He barely had a small stub that could be a nose and he had solid black eyes.
"Can't I at least have a transformation ability or something?" He though, weary at all that's happened.
He put his head on the floor and promptly passed out.
