**Chapter 2: The System Appears**
Two weeks into their reincarnated lives, a surreal encounter unfolded. As Alex and Morgan sat on a secluded bench, nursing the wounds of another day's torment, a luminescent figure materialized before them.
"Congratulations," the figure spoke, its voice reverberating with an otherworldly resonance. "You've met the requirements."
The duo exchanged bewildered glances as the enigmatic being continued, "Choose your paths."
Confounded yet intrigued, they selected the path of the "Heavenly Demon," drawn by the promise of change, of liberation from their perpetual torment.
Gifted with pills and urged to consume them, their bodies began to undergo a transformation. Bones shifted, muscles surged, and a newfound vigor surged through their veins. But despite the surge of power, their circumstances remained unchanged.
