Code Geass: The Atonement

A soldier in ragged clothes began to squirm in a huge pit filled with his dead comrades and enemies alike, his awaking was a reminder of the failure of his final mission alive and the loss of his fellow countrymen. His head began to ache and he could feel his bodies functions slowly return to how they should be, the only major difference was that his lungs were not working at all, he assumed he was still breathing but not the way one normally would.

His vision slowly came back and he looked down to his chest to see if he could spot anything wrong and to his surprise, he saw his lungs lying on top of his chest as if they had been freshly removed from his corpse. He tried to scream but the soil above him fell into his open mouth and began to choke him, suddenly the soil and his surroundings disappeared as he appeared in a pure white room that stretched as far as the eye could see.

In the middle of the room, there was a table with two chairs one on either side of them, there was a piece of paper on the table with a quill and ink on the right-hand side of it.

The soldier dragged his body over to the closest chair to him and sat down, his legs burning as this was the first time he had moved since his rebirth he looked down at the paper in front of him and to his surprise it was addressed to him and was set out as a contract between him and something called a 'contractor system'.

He read the contract out loud to make sure that it made sense to him as his eyes were still adjusting to the bright white world." You have been dragged back from hell to settle the debts the universe has with this world, we have selected you for two reasons, one to repent for the crimes you have committed in the name of your empire, the second is that you were one of the best soldiers of your time before you died. You will need the assistance of the contractor system to carry out our goals, you will need to set up your own dynasty and empire to spread our ideas. You can reject this contract but you will be returned to whatever hell hole we dragged you from."

The soldier sighed, he had no memories from his past life except those about the troops he was buried with and how he has killed. He shakily picked up the quill and signed a random name onto the contract, he was forced backwards from the table and landed on the floor, the contract flew into the air and disappeared.

He was swiftly booted out of the world of white and reappeared in his grave with his mouth full of soil again. A voice appeared in his head "The contractor system would like to greet the new host, my name is C.S and I will be offering you advice as well as services which help to achieve the goals required of you. My first piece of advice is that you get out of this grave, I also recommend that you find something to eat or drink as soon as possible."

An image appeared in his mind, the image was a detailed view of everything about him including some things he didn't think was possible.

The sight shocked Theo but he decided he would get out of the hole he was in first before finding out anymore. As he began to dig his way out something flashed before his eyes.

*Mission obtained - Crawl out of the grave. Rewards: Unknown. Punishment for failure: Death*

He mentally sighed as he thought the system was pointing out the obvious, not getting out of here would be the death of him, what intrigued him however was what rewards he may get for climbing out of the grave. He summoned all the strength he could gather before slowly pushing upwards and creating a hole in the soil so he could escape, he left his lungs in his original space as he figured he no longer needed them. He slowly managed to move enough soil to move upwards towards the exit, he was making progress no matter how slow it was.

It took three hours before he was able to finally able to drag his limp body up and out of the grave. When he reached the top of the hole, he fell onto the floor while a notification filled his head.

*Mission passed: Rewards gained: 1-time lottery use, Passive skill: No sleep and 50 assignable exp*

Theo said "System can you explain what you can do for me as well as why my lungs were removed? Also, what should I do next, I'm trapped in South Korea and I'm not sure what era I'm in or what the current world situation is."

C.S responded with" Currently I can display your status as well as describe your skills to you and give you access to the lottery system however you will unlock more of my features as you complete more of the things needed from you. Goals will be assigned to you over time by me the system and these are commonly split into three categories, the Main mission that is your overarching goals, side missions that will help you achieve these goals and optional missions that are as the name suggests optional. Right now I suggest you select the two other languages you would like to know as well as assign your experience to a class. When that is done I then recommend that you use your lottery ticket to try and gain something useful for your recovery. Currently, your physical stats are the same as a small infant and it would be good for you to try and re-train your body when you get the chance."

Theo nodded his head and said, "Thank you C.S, please display my status now."
