"You have received the will of a god. The gangster system."
Under the multi-colored moon, a man with hollow eyes stood in shock as the guy he had shot,arose and removed the bullet from his head. He turned to him with a smile and with a snap of his fingers,disappeared.
Justin was left wondering what had happened and why his gun was in his hands. He saw blood on the floor and his ears ached, probably from the loud ringing of his gun.
He brought out his phone and made a call. "I do not know what happened but I think Alfred might have just died."
"What?! What do you mean by that? Why would he die?"
"I shot him?" Justin replied,unsure of himself.
"Where is he now?" The other person on the phone asked.
"That's where it becomes weird,I see blood and traces to prove that I used my fun but I can find no body.."
Derolo sighed over the phone. "You've had too much to drink,you have no idea what you're saying."
"I am definitely sure of it."
"Why was he there in the first place?"
"I needed some help from him.." Justin answered, biting his lips. He knew his brother would be angry. Everyone in their gang had been instructed never to touch Alfred. No one was permitted to do anything or even send him on errands without his permission.
"You defied me…"
Justin fell on his knees and ensured that the thud was loud enough to be heard. He knew he would sustain injuries but having injuries was better than facing the anger of his brother. "I'm sorry, please forgive me. I wasn't thinking when I decided to do it."
Derolo clenched his fists and gritted his jaw, all in an attempt to calm down. "Get here now!"
"Yes sir!"
Derolo ended the call
Justin stood up immediately and packed his gun back into its holster. "I wonder why I did that? I don't even remember anything…" he muttered to himself as he walked.
Unbeknownst to him, the smoke that emitted from his eyes had managed to solidify and formed a spider that was then imprinted on his skin.
....
A young man with curly black hair and gray eyes that were barely open would be seen running. His body movements didn't look coordinated, almost as if he wasn't in control of his own body.
"Shit! Is this how hard it is to control a human's body to move? No, I'm pretty sure it's just this human." Avamos complained as he tried to find his way to Alfred's home.
He had managed to pry into his memories so he could find his home address but it was messed up. He lived in an environment that looked like the houses were stacked on top of each other.
He finally found the house that Alfred's memories had shown as his home and it was nothing to write about.
The roof was thatched and barely hanging on. The porchlight was broken so it was shrouded in darkness.
"This is a dump, but since it's dark, it's perfect. Honestly, I'm surprised how alike we are."
Avamos had seen that Alfred kept his keys under the vase outside so he picked it up and opened the door.
After putting Alfred on his bed,he sat and stared at the human who had inherited his will.
"I wonder what my will be manifested as.."
….

Alfred opened his eyes groggily as the sunlight seeped in through the windows.
[Host has acquired Aura and dominance]
"Eh?"
He looked around as soon as he heard that. He was sure that he heard something but he could find no one in the room.
"Or maybe someone broke in?" He suggested out loud. He took a look at his house and sighed. It was so tattered that a church rat would laugh at him. The wall paint was all in different mismatching colours. He had used those different paints to paint his walls as they were the remaining paint people used. He didn't have the money to buy his own bucket of paint.
"There's no way someone broke in. I probably imagine…"
[System update- 79%]
[Host has received Hidden will of the Universe]
"I'm not imagining it! I did hear someone speak! Who are you?]

"Eh?"

[System Update Completion- 100%]
[Synchronization- 74%]
"I'm not imagining it! There's a voice in my head. How? Why?! Have I really gone crazy?!"
He placed his hands on his ears so he could cover them and stop hearing the robotic female voice but it did nothing to help.
"What the hell is going on with me!!"
[System has been synchronized successfully]
[Host will begin the will of Avamos]
"Will?"
His thoughts trailed back to the events of last night and he remembered what had transpired.
"I was shot but I didn't die. I really wasn't dreaming."
'But,I wonder why he chose me,and what is this constant thing I keep hearing?' He thought to himself, clasping his hands together and rubbing both thumbs against each other. This was something he had always done when he was thinking.
[To find out more about the system and the will of Avamos, call System Interface!]
"I still don't believe what I'm hearing but there's no hurt in trying. I'm supposed to be a dead man anyway…if my mind isn't playing with me."
He took a deep breath. "System Interface!" He yelled.
A screen appeared in front of him, he shrieked and moved back, jumping on his bed as he curled himself into a ball but the screen was still there.
He swallowed and slowly unfurled himself to talk a proper look at the screen.
[Congratulations! Host has successfully opened the gangster system. The will of Avamos!]
"So,his name is Avamos, and his will is a system?" He stretched his hands to see if he could touch the screen and he discovered he could.
"Wow! It's just like an actual screen. Next!" He yelled.
The screen changed and something else was displayed.
[Status
"Eh! Why would you call me that? I'm not pathetic!"
The system kept quiet and Alfred hung his head in dejection,not checking the remaining details.
"Next!" He yelled out.
[Skills]
[Host cannot access this section yet, it will be accessed when host has leveled up]
"This is really a game,just like those RPG games. This is amazing!"
He scrolled through the tab and found out that he could pretty much not access anything there.
"But, why do you sound so robotic?"
[System will remain like this until Host levels up or at least changes his title]
"Change my title?" He placed his hands on his chin in thought, "I do remember that my title was weak pathetic loser,but do you not think that is too cruel? Tagging me a weak pathetic loser is demeaning!" He yelled.
[Does Host wish to read the will of Avamos?]
"Will of Avamos eh? Avamos is that guy who could read my mind. I'm guessing he's a god then. A strong one for that matter." He moved on to itch his jaw, " Sure,let me see what his will is."
[The will of Avamos]
< What I wish for you is to become strong and spread my name so I can also become strong. As you grow strong,I will grow strong as well. No matter how I explain it,you will not understand my will because my ways are not your ways. My world far surpasses your understanding and it would be futile of me to try to explain anything to you. But,you are not on a righteous path. Note that you are not aiming to be a hero but you are also not aiming to be a villain. All you should aim for is becoming the strongest in your element and even out of your element, and because you fall under the dark path, according to the side you picked, you will become stronger in that path.>
"Eh? I don't understand.."
[It did say that you cannot understand anything yet]
"Why does it feel like I'm speaking to a person,even though you sound robotic?"
[The sun has risen. Daily task.]
[Run five kilometers: 0%]
[Have an healthy breakfast: 0%]
[Write your upcoming exams: 0%]
[Talk to a girl?: 0%]
The system itself seemed to be confused.
"Shit! I have exams today! How could I have forgotten?" He cursed as he stood up and wore his trousers, not even considering the option of bathing,no one was going to talk to him anyways, so they wouldn't notice it. Besides, he didn't have a bad body odor.
He washed his face to remove any drool that might have been on it. He wore his faded shoes and slung his bag over his shoulders.
"How did I get home last night?" He wondered as he opened his door.
[Failure to complete the required daily tasks will lead to a punishment.]
"Wah..?!"
[You will lose your memories]
Alfred: '_'
