4 Chapter 4 (1/2)

”Congratulations on experiencing your first death, host.” a voice greeted my ears.

The next vision i had was a desert under the angry hot glare of the sun.

I imagined that i would be burning from the intense heat by now but all i felt was the solace of perfection.

I felt like a spectator amidst the creation i weaved. Like a god in his own domain. It was an exhilarating feeling.

”Who are you?” i asked the voice. My sight wandered and i saw nothing but the countless sands of the land.

”I am a system assistant tasked to guide you in achieving the pinnacle of what you can be.” it answered. This one was not the same female voice who I've spoken with in the past, i concluded.

”If I'd chosen a different ability from what i have now, would you have also appeared before me?” i asked in curiosity.

I know that the gift i picked had granted me virtually unkillable. With a command with my thoughts, letters sprang up along the visions i saw.

Techniques:

1. Point Flux - this ability could grant the user mastery over time. It could only go back and not forward.

(if the user was killed, would return to a previous save point instantly or stay in the users domain in a limbo where time does not begin nor end.)

This was also why i was totally fine with my misdemeanour that got me zapped.

”They would not hesitate to kill a student. What a bunch of merciless capitalists!” i mumbled inside.

But it was also no surprise. Who was I? HAHAHA! I'm nothing but an unknown boy from the rural areas. I doubted they'd do the same to a kid of some wealthy and influential person.

This was how the world works, i sighed.

”Affirmative, host! The system assistant was implanted along any gift that you would have received.” the voice answered.

And now that i think about it, i couldn't quite put a gender unto its voice. A very eerie observation i got.

”Okay.” I responded and uttered another wordless command. The letters that hovered before my eyes turned blurry until it was replaced by another image altogether.

In it, i saw one line that marked my birth unto this world until the last second i took my final breath.

A single dot depicted the ending that paused the reality from turning on the wheels of time.

”At what point to return.” i was preparing for my second time in rewriting my past.

”Are you preparing to go back, host?” a voice distracted me from my thoughts.

”Yes.” i whispered and did not bother to ask it its name. It was a futile point that i don't want to waste my precious time with.

”It would beneficial for the host to look at the system shop.” it sounded once more.

”What system shop?!” i shouted in surprise. My head raked the lands from left to right while i waited for a fast reply on this system assistant something.

”You can buy techniques and items from the system shop, host.” the system answered.

”Show me the shop.” was my immediate command.

”Affirmative, host.”
