By the time Owen regained consciousness, he couldn't even breath, move his head, hand or even look around. He tried to remember where he was and recollected that he was on his way to see Brie and confess his feelings to her when he got into an accident.
But he also remembered that he was attacked by some people and fed pills that made him die. Feeling uncomfortable and panicked, he tried to search his memories again. But everything came up in a double form. He remembered hearing a sound in his head that gave him a system and remembered that he was in a coffin.
'Wait a minute, these memories arent right? What is happening?' He thought as he tried to inhale some fresh air but couldn't.
This place felt like a coffin.
'Why does it feel like I have read something like this before?'
Owen remembered the book he had just completed before going to see Brie. The god of death system. His favourite character who is a side character, Owen Duurm had been fed cider pills and buried by his own family. Not knowing that he was still alive, the side character ended up finally dying due to lack of oxygen. He quickly tried to move around in the constricted area and made muffled noises.
He doesn't want to die like this. He was yet to tell Brie how he felt about her. He hadnt even slept with anyone het.
No one dies a virgin right?
"Mhhh...helmmmm…" he muttered trying his best to move. Few seconds after he could hear the sound of shovel from up. As if someone was trying to dig his grave. Owen smiled inwardly feeling tears trickle his eyed.
The heavens were still with him. Of course he wouldnt die a virgin. His stomach grumbled and he hissed. This wasn't the right time to be hungry.
He felt the coffin he was in move and someone removed the iails. He immediately knew that he had been completely saved when he felt a hand start to loose the clothes he was tightly wrapped with. When his hands were free, the movement suddenly stops.
"Hmm...hmmm…" he tried to trash around on the floor but heard no movement again. He used his free hands to remove the remaining clothes around his face. The darkness was what first hit him. At first he thought he still had his eyes tightly shut. Until he widens his eyes and looked around. He noticed it wasn't him, it was the day that had gotten dark. He dusted the clothes off himself and looked around.
The place was a desolate forest with some creepy feeling. Owen tried to stand and managed at the third attempt. Being wrapped like that had cramped his legs. He looks around but there was no trace of a person. Whoever had helped him had ran away before he could even see the persons face.
Owen was about to shout for help when he heard a ding go off in his head. He quickly looked behind him with his hands covering his exposed penis. Who brought the idea of wrapping dead bodies naked?
The person should be sued.
"Who is that?"
'Welcome to the god of death system. The scanning has been completed and details has been downloaded? Will you like to access the details and settings in your memory?"
Immediately he saw some holographic writing in front of him.
They were 'Yes' and 'Yes'.
Owen took a shaky step backward and almost fell into his grave again. He quickly tried to run away but the holographic writing followed him everywhere. He finally stops at a huge tree, his hand still covering his penis. He couldn't risk being given some gross head by a snake or another animal.
With shaky hands, he clicked the 'Yes'. The next five seconds was a blur of black and gray almost like a color television. He shook his head and his normal vision returned and heard the computerised voice again.
'Dear host, congratulations on finally acquiring the god of death system. Your systems status will now be displayed.'
Status: Amateur [Death mode]
Energy: 0
Power: 0
Level: 1
Abilities: 0
Sensibility: 0
IQ level: 0
EQ level: 0
Coins: 0
Acquiring power: 0
Owen frowned when he saw the IQ level.
"I have a PhD in software engineering. How is my IQ level 0?"
'Dear host, to avoid system shut down and snatch please acquire the nearest energy.'
"Snatch?" He repeated confused at the words.
Then a holographic search came up in his front and the word snatch was input.
Snatch: 'ability' (only to be acquired when host reaches a life time.) Defined as system being taken from host if host has low energy level, in death mode. Or both.
Now Owen was more than confused. Both? A lifetime?
'Will you like to activate systems AI?'
"Yes. Activate systems AI."
'Sorry, you are not eligible for this ability without a energy level of 200. Please absorb the nearest energy and activate systems AI.'
'Would you lkie to activate back up sensibility to search for the nearest energy?'
"Yes."
The system began to search before coming up with a map and location after few seconds.
'1000 vulture energy level. Located at the northern cave. Exactly 100.4 feets from host current location. Absorb 1000 vulture energy and be rewarded with 250 energy levels.'
Owen glanced in the northern direction. It was dark but the moon provided some sort of lighting. The map was still in his view so he began to walk in te northern direction while checking the map to make sure he wasnt going the wrong way. After for about four minutes, he was given a warning by his system.
'Dear host, you are 10 feets away from the cave of 1000 vultures. Please be extra quiet. As host is still in death mode, hosy is very likely to die if attacked by the vultures.'
Owen placed a palm to his chest and stared into the air with a shocked expression. How very nice of his system to warn him just when he is 10 feets away from deaths door.
Quietly tip toeing and avoiding the sticks and leaves on the floor, he takes three feets and then another. He took another and his system warned him again.
'Dear host, please be extra careful. Host has to be exactly 99.4 feets to the energy to be able to absorb the energy.'
"Of course I know. Why else am I walking so slowly?" He held his breath and took four more steps. He moved his feet forward a little and heard a ding!
Would you like system to absorb 1000 vulture energy?'
He rolled his eyed and wished he could really see the system so that he could glare at it.
"Of course. Why else am I here?"
System will begin absorption. Please be quiet for the next one minute.'
He wanted to roll his eyes but saw the holographic texts turn slightly red. Almost in a pink color. On the surface were the words.
'Energy absorption in progress.'
After a minute he didn't need to be told by the system to know that he had absorbedh te energy. He could feel it in him. He felt more energised than before.
'Energy absorption complete. Will you like to activate systems AI?'
"Yes." He responded suddenly feeling excited.
'AI activation in progress. Please wait 50 seconds.'
After 50 seconds, Owen heard a cheerful voice behind him. When he turned his head, he saw a beautiful holographic young girl with a cute smile and dimples on both cheeks.
'Hello young master, I am the god of death artificial intelligence. I am here to serve young master. If you have any questions you can ask me…" the holographic girl suddenly stood talking and points in front of him with a scared look. "Young master, watch out a fierce vulture!"
Owen looked in the direction she was pointing still surprised by the whole holographic girl thing. He saw a vulture flying towards him and then towards his…
"Young master your special front tail!" The holographic girl shouted.
