What happens when you die? Some people believe there's an afterlife, while others lean more towards reincarnation. There are even those who seem certain that there's nothing at all, just eternal darkness. Do you want to know what I think?
You get what you fucking deserve.
Like my old man here crumpled on the ground, body broken with a stupid twisted look on his stupid twisted face. His neck, crushed with a kick of these new legs of mine. Yeah, I've had sub par prosthetics for some time now. Caught him off guard once my legs regenerated, Not to mention prep time, and a little bit of luck.
That's how Marcus Black, a cold blooded assassin always self-centered, and always self-righteous "Got, Got". Whose take on reality could be summed up in two sentences. "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted".
Whatever the fuck that means. It was already bad, but I never imagined it could have gotten worse. Well that house you built with your own two hands is burning to the ground right now you piece of shit. It's only right a "king" fall with his "kingdom".
And when a man like that is your father, you learn a thing or two about the value of human life. Or the lack thereof. For the underdog there's no negotiating terms. The position in the hierarchy you get is the one you take. Unluckily for him, this goes perfectly with my nature as a wolf Faunus. Giving me an advantage, but that's not all.

A miracle happened last night, during his final few reps of sidekicks Mercury began to emotionally break down, covered under the blanket of darkness the maddening pressure boiled over. In a desperate trance he knelt his exhausted body against his practice boulder as if to pray.
His frustrated voice laced with revulsion voicing his raw resentment. "That monster isn't human! He's just a tool spewing hate rotting everything he touches, he's the devil! The pulsing veins in his face and the maddening red in his eyes spread through the whites, warping his expression into one teetering on the brink of insanity. The tears began to slowly spill as his repressed fury surpassed the point of consolation. His grey pupils dilated with a carnal animalism transforming with the heart coursing from his heart.
At that moment a meteor struck right between his eyebrows shattering his consciousness like a concussion sinking into the void.
When I woke up I didn't really "Wake up" I was still sleeping, but I had a lucid dream inside my "soul sea" Retaining my consciousness while navigating the depths of my soul!
The next time I opened my eyes a model tactical map of the entirety of Remnant lay tabled directly in front of where I stood. There was a 3D arrow hanging over the forrest in Mistral precisely where my training field is located. A green dot shone underneath and in the nearby model of a house a rust red dot shone closely. The walls and ceiling seemed transparent entirely colored by constellations and auroras, Before I could move or think a display screen appeared in front of me.
[Welcome: Mercury Black you are the receiver of a great boon]
[You have been chosen as the vessel of a cosmic force far beyond your grasp, becoming the master of the Avatar Gate System]
"Is that so? You saying I've been chosen for greater things than murder for hire?"
[Correct, please say accept and the information of the Systems and all its functions will be relayed to you through a magic crest]
'Magic? Theres no way to confirm if this is real currently, whether this dream has consequences that change my reality or not. Regardless, nothing comes free in this world.'
"Why are you doing this? Before I accept this system just please tell me why choose me?! What price am I paying?!?"
[The Price… of the Avatar system is your fate, in exchange you have been granted Liberation through Limitation. The system owner is destined for greatness and will be assigned arduos tasks risking life and limb to redefine their destiny. If the user fails to be great, then their very reality shall be left to the storm of the unknown, In other words. Should you fail, you will lose the guidance of God.]
"I see, In a sense I guess this is just a form of destiny then, regardless of whether I received anything from god, I always planned to fight against my Fate! I ACCEPT!"
[And so it shall be]
As the display announced that I lost all sense of direction and became swallowed in darkness, losing my connection with my body.
[Undergoing hybrid soul re-construction]
As if I was hit by a flash bang I lost all remaining conscious mobility, all of my thoughts scattered and dispersing and a volcanic pain as if I felt my spirit fragment and erupt crashed against my very being. At the same time a warmth flooded from the core of my soul wrapping and reforming it dying it silver, the image of a dumpling with wings burned into my psyche as I identified the design of my reborn soul.
[Crafting: Magic Crest of Black]
[Evolving: Grigori Soul]
[Template Install: Wolf School Witcher]
A black essence spawned and crawled through my veins while a ghost of a sensation registered in my head. An icy sword like feeling poured down from the tip of my head to the nubs of my legs. Along the mid section of my spine the heat of a magical brand came and went…
[You have now completed the acceptance process, whenever you sleep you may return here to the Sanctuary and interact with the System interface within your soul scape, meditation also works, all necessary information has been stored within the Black mage crest]

Breaking my my meditation and returning to the present, I raised my head staring past the tree tops and the hood of my cloak . A large moon hung in the air with a serene glow. The night I accepted these powers the broken fragments of the moon fused together forming a smaller satellite. This second moon is the sanctuary. Where I project my consciousness The ground beneath my bare feet was cool and damp, and the air smelled of pine and earth. It had been years since I had felt the ground beneath my feet, and I savored the sensation. After the battle with my father, my legs had begun to regenerate, and now I was in top condition. As I looked around, I felt a sense of peace wash over me and pour into my heart, I knew that I was finally free.
Mercury's eyes scanned the horizon with a confident gaze. He already knew exactly what he needed to do, and so did his system.
