As Alice was pursued by a horde of fierce wolves, she somehow managed to escape. She arrived at an old temple to find refuge there, however a two-meter wolf cornered her. And while she had been severely injured, and was losing a lot of blood, her will being broken and even wanting to be done - to die and finally to rest.
At that moment, she heard a mysterious voice in her head.
[Here is another human who gives up, it is so pitiful. They are always there playing the strong, but when the difficulty is too great, they give up without a fight - it is really pitiful!] Exclaimed a voice.
" What...! Who are you ? Alice asked curiously.
[Oh ? You can hear me, interesting ..!] The voice said curiously.
[Are you asking who I am?]
[Alright, open your ears wide!]
[I am the domination, the power, the tyrannical ruler ... Some call me the destroyer, and others Abaddon ...!]
[But my name is Azazel!]
[I am Azazel, the lord of Pride!]
In her current state of being exhausted and on the verge of death, Alice thought the voice was a figment of her imagination.
"I must surely be dreaming, I have been abused too much after all!" Alice said silently.
[How dare you think that I, the great Azazel can be a vulgar illusion!] The voice said contemptuously, Azazel.
The weak Alice could hear the voice echoing loudly in her mind, it even giving her a faint sense of dread.
"I don't know anyone named Azazel. Alice said weakly.
[Humph! From what I can see, it's a really backward world not to know my name.] Azazel said.
And it was now that Alice remembered that she was in dire straits. She looked around hastily then, and she could see the temple as well as the altar she was standing on glowing with a sinister glow.
His pursuers even stood at a distance, looking in his direction cautiously.
Alice wondered why they were keeping their distance. And then, a sudden idea popped into his mind. What if it was because of this Azazel? Who exactly was this person?
[Kid, do you want to live?] Azazel asked.
Hearing these words, Alice didn't know what to answer, she was fed up with it all, however she didn't want to give up either, she still had to fulfill Teia's last wishes.
"I ... I want to live!" "
"I don't want to die like this, not before I have accomplished my goals!" "
"I have to become a powerful mage - no, I have to become the most powerful mage there is, so I won't be persecuted again!" Alice said with determination.
[Oh ? The strongest mage? You are aiming far for someone who is on the verge of dying ... But, I like it! You are someone quite special even though you don't seem to be aware of it. Your soul does not have the same frequency as the beings of this world either!] Says Azazel.
Alice was about to lose consciousness, and said with little force, "What exactly do you want with me?" "
At that, she heard Azazel laugh before his tone turned extremely cold.
[I want you to help me get revenge!]
"Take revenge? Alice asked puzzled.
[Yes, I want you to help me get revenge on Baal's bastard who stabbed me in the back!] Azazel said, his tone couldn't be colder.
"How the hell do you want me to face it, can't you see I'm on the brink of death?" And besides, I always have these wolves who are after me. Alice said her face pale from the loss of blood.
[This is something that can be solved easily, it is nothing in front of me ... However, the real question is: will you agree to help me? If you do, you will be able to gain more powers than you can imagine!] Said Azazel.
Alice was really very puzzled, she was a little suspicious of this mysterious person, however for some strange reason her instinct was screaming at her to accept. So she quickly made a decision.
" I accept ! "
HUMMING !
In response to those words, the whole room shook vigorously, the ominous glow that had previously shone in the room suddenly grew brighter. She then wrapped herself around Alice's figure and then she entered her body.
Soon after, the din ceased. Afterwards another voice echoed in Alice's head, this one being feminine and more mechanical.
[System initialization ...!]
[Beginning of the operation ...!]
[Installation of basic data ...!]
[Finished!]
[Checking the rank of authority ...!]
[Finished!]
[The presence of the entity - Azazel - has been spotted!]
[A change has been made!]
[Scan of the individual [Alice] ...!]
[Scan finished!]
[Confirmation of the specificity of the individual [Alice] has been provided!]
[All procedures have been completed!]
[Rank 2 authority has been granted to the individual [Alice]!]
[The entity - Azazel - has been appointed as a system administrator for the individual [Alice]!]
[Operation completed ...!]
[Congratulations, [Alice], you can now use the system!]
...
Within minutes of the series of notifications, knowledge was inserted into Alice's mind. With what she had received, she was extremely shocked and could only say a word before passing out.
" Whore ! "
Right after Alice passed out she suddenly opened her eyes and stood up, however, she looked different ...
"The kid's body is pretty good for a low-ranking world like this. However, it seems that the system does not allow me much control over his body. Said Alice - or rather Azazel.
He looked at Alice's body, clenched his fist, then loosened it as if to get used to this new body.
"As I have very little time, I'll do it as soon as possible ... His body should not explode by my intervention, it would really be a waste after all! Azazel thought, turning his gaze to the wolves who were crouched in fear in a corner.
"And to think that this little one almost died when she was a [Traveler], spoiling at the same time her rather extraordinary talent; that being said by someone like me. "
"Well, now that I have it, the sequel promises to be interesting. Azazel said, almost letting out a smile.
Then he turned to the frightened wolves growling at him.
Roar!
The two-meter wolf with a crescent moon mark on his forehead rushed forward, wanting to get rid of the individual in front of him. However, as he leapt up, he found himself stopped mid-flight by a strange force.
"I don't have time to play with creatures that wouldn't even qualify as dog food ... Go away!" Azazel said casually waving his hand, detonating the bodies of all the wolves present, leaving behind nothing but a mess of blood and flesh.
"Okay, should I leave the temple, or should I see if there are any artifacts left?" Azazel thought, but as he tried to move around, strange injuries began to appear on the body he was occupying.
"Tch, my time is already up!" Well, I should use that to heal her then. Azazel said, his consciousness fading and with it Alice's body collapsed, and the wounds disappeared, leaving no trace.
