I honestly never believed in an afterlife but now that I'm dead I'm wondering where I'm going, heaven? hell? Whatever people believe in. But as I slowly opened my eyes expecting to see either a bunch of clouds or molten lava and depressed souls. But all I saw was nothing, just a pitch black room where it seemed like time didn't move at all. Where am I?
[Congratulations, you've unlocked your system]
What? A system? Like those things in books that are supposed to help the protagonist?
[Who said I'm here to help you?]
Oh fuck. It's one of those systems that doesn't like helping it's user but sure loves to torture them.
"Then what do you want?" I asked the vibrant blue screen in front of me.
[Well, my master and mistress Lucia and Xavier actually created me when Xander was planning to kill you. I'm the reset system.]
'Well colour me impressed.' I thought sacrastically, that crazy god actually tried to kill me. "And what do you do Reset system?" I asked again.
[Isn't it obvious? I grant you the ability to reset time to 2-3 hours ago]
"Well that's good and I'm going to assume that you're unlimited." I said feeling a bit lucky.
[Oh hell no, you only have three turns a day and I have a cool down of ten hours]
I felt a pang of annoyance at this, what's the point of having a turn if I'm going to wait ten hours just for another? I felt like this is a sick lucid dream I'm stuck in that I can't wake up from.
[But, you can get more turns by completing tasks.]
"Ok that's pretty decent." I replied.
[But you can only complete two tasks a week and there are ranks for the tasks you complete.]
"Fuck you." I spat out angrily. "What kind of ranks are there?" I asked annoyed.
[Easy, Moderate, Hard and Impossible, easy grants 0.5 turns which is thirty minutes, moderate grants one turn which is one hour, hard grants two turns which is one hour thirty minutes and Impossible grants three to four turns which is two to three hours. Which is all in addition to your default turns.]
A part of me feels happy at the thought of having a system like all the other transmigration books' protagonist because it felt like Lucia finally gave me a cheat code to this game without even knowing but I wouldn't push my luck.
"Ok tell me more about you." I said feeling satisfied with this new found power I possess.
[Well I am the main feature of the whole system but under me is the intimacy level system, if you complete more tasks under the intimacy level system you can actually reduce my cool down]
"Well that's good news!" I said feeling happy at the news.
[But just like me, you can only complete two tasks a week from the intimacy level system.]
I actually punched the screen from frustration.
[Well ow, that hurts you psycho! Anyways I'll tell you more about me later, as right now you have to go back to the game you've been put in. Are you ready?]
I stared at the system before a grin slowly crept on my face at the thought of completing this game quickly. That psychopathic bastard of a god thinks he can kill me? He should think again, I'm going to win this game and when I do. I'll kill him.
"Yea, let's play this game my way." I said as clenched my fist, a new sense of determination entering me.
[Ok, and stop smiling like that it's creepy.]
Suddenly the dark environment faded and I found myself in the infirmary with Kristen just when I had bandaged his hands, which would mean.
**BANG! BANG!**
The shooters are now coming to the infirmary I stared at the time and looked at the time: 2:15 am. I felt myself grinning, I had gone back in time. Then the blue screen appeared:
[Reset system task: Defeat the shooters while reaching safety, difficulty: hard]
