"A host has been found!" A female voice pops out. "Congratulations! You have been chosen to be reborn and inherit the Dominance System."
Huh? Am I not dead…?
All of the pain from the impact was gone and I feel like I'm floating in mid-air! What is going on here?
I opened my eyes and saw that I was floating around in a dark space. No one was around…not even a fly. Everything was pitch black and I was the only one around, but what was that voice I heard earlier?
Out of nowhere, a portal suddenly appeared and coming out from it was a young woman, who looked like she was in her mid 20s, in a formal dress! She snapped her finger and a chair immediately manifested under me. She asked me to sit down so I did what she told me. Honestly, this is the first time I'm going through something that I only saw in novels…I'm really intrigued by this.
"Mr. William Right, son of Jason Right and also the co-founder of Orthrus Inc." She began. "You have been chosen to be the new owner of the Dominance System."
"Starting from today, I shall be your navigator in your new life." She continued. "You can now choose to be reborn back into any part of your life that you want."
"Let me stop you right there." I interrupted. "Is this the afterlife?"
"No, this is merely a space between the afterlife and the real world." She replied. "Osiris, the god of the afterlife, has heard your wish and wants to give you another chance at life."
So the Egyptian god of the afterlife had heard my wish huh? This is indeed interesting, but if I'm given another chance at life then I might as well take it and relive my life to the fullest. What is the name of this avatar of the system?
"What is your name?" I asked. "I can't just call you navigator forever!?"
"I don't have a name." She replied. "I wasn't given one when he created me as the navigator of this system."
"In that case, let me give you a name." I smiled. "Let's call you…Hathor, named after the Egyptian goddess of beauty!"
"Hathor…very well…that shall be my name from now on." Hathor replied. "Now which part of your life do you wish to be reborn to?"
"If I'm going to start over, I might as well go back where all of it begins." I grinned. "I chose the year 2014!"
"2014 has been registered to the system." Hathor smiled. "I will now send you back into that time period."
Hathor snapped her finger again and the chair disappeared. Before I knew it, I was falling into the pitch black darkness and lost consciousness.
"To think he would be able to name me after myself without realizing it." Hathor smiled. "You are a truly intriguing reincarnation of Horus."
"My son is a very interesting person after all." Osiris announced as he walked out of the portal. "Let this journey assist him into reviving himself."
"Now off you go, Hathor." Osiris ended. "Your husband's reincarnation is waiting for you in his new life."
"I'm merely a fragment of her soul that she left to guide her husband." She replied before opening another portal. "My true reincarnation is still wandering somewhere on earth waiting for the reincarnation of Horus to find her."
Before Osiris could continue, Hathor left the space and everything returned to darkness. Osiris sighs and disappears as well.
August 20th, 2014
After what felt like an eternity of falling, I finally regained consciousness and my head feels like I just had a really bad migraine. I never knew rebirth could be this painful!
When I opened my eyes, I saw myself inside my old bedroom and my arms and legs were shorter too! I ran to the bathroom and looked at my reflection in the mirror, it wasn't a dream. I really did reborn back into my 14-years-old self! Now that I think about it, I don't look half-bad. I wonder why I was single back in my old life, but that's not important!
Let's check if Hathor is here and activate the Dominance System. I called out her name to see if she responded or any window would pop up, but nothing appeared. Could that part about the system be a mistake?
Suddenly, I heard a young female voice calling my name multiple times. I looked around, but no one was around.
"Maybe short-term hallucination is also one of the side effects of rebirth." I wondered. "Never mind that, I'll better start getting dressed for school."
"You are not hallucinating, William." Hathor spoked. "I'm right above you."
"Hathor, is that you?" I replied as I looked above in surprise. "Why do you look like you are only a teenage girl!?"
"Now that you are only a 14-years-old boy." Hathor began. "I have to take a form that is compatible with your current appearance."
"Interesting…now can you show me how to use the system?" I asked. "I want to learn how to use it before I start my new life."
Hathor told me to say system in my head. I follow her order and a blue window pops up with my stats on it. Every stat was at one, but I had ten points to use to increase my stats. I evenly distribute the points to balance out all of my stats, but I still have two leftovers. Should I increase STR, INT, STA, or SPD?
"I suggest you increase strength and speed." Hathor suggested with a smile. "You will need it for your first main mission."
I didn't know what to choose so I might as well listen to her opinion. Hathor said that I can unlock the store for $500 and the stock market for $1000. She continues to explain that the reason why the system is called dominance is because each person/target I meet will have a loyalty bar. My goal is to get those bars into at least 80% for them to be loyal to me. When it reaches 95% I will gain their talents. Finally, when their bar reaches 100%, the person/target will treat me as their king and will listen to whatever I say and will never betray me!
Main Mission: Spend your 4 years in high school making $200,000 using any method of business while still maintaining your GPA above 3.8 or face death.
Rewards: $200,000, Bronze rank gift box, Mystery ability.
Punishment: Death
"You want me to do what!?" I yelled in shock. "How the hell do you expect me to be both working and trying to be the perfect student at the same time?"
"This amount of money should be an easy goal for a former vice-president of a company." Hathor started. "Besides, you should already know the answers to all the exams and homeworks!"
She does have a point there. Although I don't remember every academic answers from high school, I still have some of those exam questions inside my memories!
"You can't sell those 'things' unless you reach the appropriate age." Hathor glared. "Choose something else that a minor can do to make money!"
What is something that a teenager can do to make money? Since money can also be use to unlock and buy accessories from the system, I need to think of something that can get me money fast. Something that I can use the students as my clients…I know just the thing, but first I will need to find the perfect business partner and employees.
