Life and death, a cycle that occurs constantly, a cycle that ignores race, whether you are human or some other alien race, at the end, life comes to you but also death.
Why do I get so philosophical? Maybe it's because I died recently and now I find myself in a dark space helpless.
I couldn't move and I don't even know if I have a body and since I couldn't do anything I started to remember how I died.
I died at 26 years old, just after finishing my studies, I did not live a bad life, it was actually quite good, the only bad thing was that my parents and my little sister died in an accident about 6 years ago but with the help of psychologists and my uncles I managed to cope and live a relatively normal life and finish my studies.
I graduated from a good university and I was on my way to go to a job interview in a very important company, if everything went well I was going to get the job and live a prosperous life, maybe get a girlfriend, get married, have children, in short, a normal life that many want but fate had other plans for me and just when I was passing the pedestrian crossing, a driver hit me and I don't remember anymore so I guess I died because the impact.
And that's how I came to this space because after "waking up" I found myself here unable to do anything but observe nothingness.
I didn't know how much time had passed, but suddenly I "saw" a ball of light that was slowly floating towards me.
At first it seemed to be very far away but soon the ball of light was only a few meters away from me, I knew it was going to collide with me and I wanted to move away but I could not move in the slightest and hit me.
[A compatible soul has been detected...]
[Do you want to integrate with the system?]
It was a somewhat mechanical voice, but I could tell that it had a feminine tone, wait a minute, a system? I wanted to say yes but I remembered that I couldn't speak.
[Since the host is in soul form and cannot decide on its own, the system will proceed to integrate with the host without his permission...]
Ufff, thank goodness, I didn't want the system to leave my body, surely it's the only way to escape from this place.
[The system has been successfully integrated!]
Okay, now please get me out of this damn place.
[Since the host is in soul form and cannot speak, his body will be regenerated...]
Oh, that works for me too.
[Error, the system can't regenerate the host's body because he's in the void...]
My hopes broke before I could celebrate, this is very cruel.
[Since a body cannot be created, the system will proceed to reincarnate the host in a random world...]
Haha, yes, perfect, that's what I wanted, goodbye to this shitty place!"
[World found!, proceeding to reincarnation, see you on the other side...]
And so my consciousness vanished again.
...
I didn't know how much time had passed but I suddenly opened my eyes and saw a roof completely unknown to me.
At first, my mind couldn't process what had happened but soon I remembered everything, I had been stuck in that place so much time and then I integrated with a system that reincarnated me.
Confused and disoriented, I sat up and realized that I was lying on an uncomfortable bed, by the way, then I looked around and saw a room that I had never seen before and quite small by the way, it had a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, a bedside table and a lamp.
"Damn, my head hurts" - I said as I rubbed my head.
I slowly got up to see if I could take any medication to relieve my pain and realized that I was in a small apartment with kitchen, bathroom and the room I had just mentioned, however, it was very small compared to where I used to live in my previous world.
"Wait, it's true, I had a system, hey can you hear me or was it a dream?" – I asked at nothing.
At first nothing answered, but suddenly a voice echoed in my head.
[Here I am host, what do you want?]
"The last thing I heard from you is that you were going to reincarnate me in a world, may I know where you reincarnated me? I need to know where I am" - I said.
[According to the host's memory this is the world of the novel called "Hero in the apocalypse"]
"What, no, why did you reincarnate me in this damn place out of the hundreds of novels I read?" – I asked nervously.
Why was I nervous?, I'll explain, "Hero in the Apocalypse" was a novel I read in my previous life, it was about David Storm, an 18-year-old boy who suddenly found himself involved in a Zombie apocalypse, that's right, the world i was plunged into is an apocalypse world, at first humans resisted but Zombies were not normal and began to evolve, but not only did they evolve, but humans began to acquire abilities and David specifically acquired three very powerful abilities that led him to embark on a journey to save people, get many women and save the world.
It is a very interesting novel if not because the protagonist was a total stupid, why? Because his convictions were simple, he was dense and what we would call a beta male, do you know how long it tooks him to have sex with just one girl? 300 chapters! Do you think that's normal? Well, I'll tell you something, 90% of the fans of the novel, including me did not like it and began to harass the author to rewrite it and make the hero less stupid but it seems thar the author did not withstand the pressure of the fans because he left the novel without an end and never heard from him again, Obviously I wrote some comments, but I never harassed him, the problem is that some people can be very stupids.
"Damn, now I'll have to survive in a world full of zombies... Wait, if at least if I'm the protagonist i will be enormously powerful" – I said somewhat hopefully.
I quickly made my way to the bathroom and looked at my face in a mirror only to be surprised, it was beautiful, black hair, short, blue eyes and a face that could beat the models easily but there was a problem...
"Is this a joke system, why did you reincarnate me as Jake?!" – I asked angrily at the same time surprised.
[Sorry host, it was a random reincarnation, it was not the fault of the system...]
Damn, even so, I would have preferred any other character, what does so much drama come to? I will summarize it, the name of this character is Jake Morton and is the main antagonist of the novel, the problem of this character is that he was an unfortunate whole novel, unlike other villains that the protagonist killed in a few chapters, Jake began by being him as a rival and at first he was even a friend of the hero and trained with him but seeing that he could not defeat him or even equal him in power, his hatred for him started to grow and soon he hated him so much that he became his mortal enemy.
At first David had compassion for his ex friend but seeing that he did not intend to change and wanted to kill him, he became his enemy.
The problem is that, in order to reach the hero, Jake allied with some unorthodox organizations that did experiments on humans to give them more abilities and it worked but unfortunately the modification caused Jake a drastic change in his personality and became aggressive and even had attacks of homicidal anger, at first he could control it but one day he had an attack of anger so strong that he killed his family by accident with the exception of his sister who contemplated everything.
From that moment his sister turned against him, and guess who she went with? That's right, she became part of David's harem which drove Jake crazy who fought David to the death only to perish by the hands of his sister who was the one who gave her the coup de grace.
And so, just because of his obsession with power and defeat the hero, Jake lost everything.
Jake had the most tragic fate among all the other villains because most of the villains in the novel were rich and had a very powerful family backing but Jake was a humble guy from a humble family, I remember that at the beginning of the novel he was described as a smart boy, kind and honest with all his companions but the apocalypse changed him, he was a poor wretch.
[Host must calm down, although you are now Jake Morton, you are not the same Jake Morton, and you can change your fate with ease]
"Right, I forget I'm not Jake and I also have a system, tell me system, what kind of system are you?" – I asked hopefully.
[I am the Ultimate Villain System, the most powerful system ever created]
"What, so in the end I have to be the villain? Please, I don't want to suffer such a pathetic fate as the original Jake, don't force me to do bad things, I beg you" - I said as I knelt down.
[Don't worry host, although my name is like that, the reality is that you will only be a villain in the eyes of the hero, then you can perform the actions you want]
"Well, not bad, do you have any shops or something?" – I asked somewhat more relieved.
[There will be shop in future updates but I recommend the host to start collecting Villian Coins to be able to make future purchases]
"I guess that the Villians Coins are for shopping in the store" - I said.
I just want to make sure 100%.
[That's right]
"Perfect, I'll follow your advice, now just tell me how to get them and I'll do it" - I said happily.
Well, it's not as bad as it sounds.
[I'm not called Ultimate Villain System just because it sounds great host, to get Villian Coins you must steal opportunities from the hero, any stolen opportunity will grant you Villain Coins, they can also be obtained through the missions of the system, but I recommend you not to trust this last method because the missions are random and you do not know when they will appear]
Steal the hero of his opportunities? Done, I know everything about the novel, I know where the best weapons, the best items, etc. will be. It will be easy, although I can only start collecting them when the apocalypse starts, so I'm at an impasse, unless the apocalypse happens in a short time" - I said.
I read the novel about 10 times and had memorized it verbatim.
[There are 2 years, 5 days, 10 hours and 50 seconds left for the start of the apocalypse, the host is also recommended to gather resources]
"Damn system, I can't do anything at all, it's two fucking years until the apocalypse and I don't even know where the damn heroines lived before the apocalypse, I only know of one and it will literally take me two years to improve my relationship with her, I can't do anything!" – I said angrily.
[The host is advised to calm down and open the starter pack before continuing to rant]
"Right, the starter pack is my hope, open it system!" - i said.
[Got it, opening the starter pack... an error has occurred!]
"What the hell?" – I asked in amazement.
