System?

Alex sat in the chair barely hanging on to his life, his once handsome face completely unrecognizable.

His lower jaw was hanging from his face unnaturally, as the blood dripping from his bleeding and deformed head filled it and then overflowed unto the floor, his chest exposed as two defibrillator pads were stuck to him, his fingers were gone, not even one remained as blood slowly dripped out of the ten stumps.

Then there were his toes, they were nice enough not to take them as well, but each toe had a hole going through it clearly made by some form of a power drill.

Alex sat on the chair, in immense pain, unable to think and unable to move, the chair he was on was completely surrounded by his own blood, signaling the end of his life, he sat without making a sound simply watching his blood dripping into the small pond of his own blood he was now surrounded by.

The sight was straight out of a horror movie, would scar anyone for life if they managed to see it, but Alex was living it.

But funnily enough with all the pain he was in he could hear them, laughing and making plans for tonight as they packed their things to leave, leaving him here to bleed out.

Even with all the pain he was in, Alex's mind was moving at a hundred miles a second thinking of anything else to distract him from the pain, he wanted revenge, so he planned how to get it, he thought of science, of language, of art, of anything thing else than the situation he was in, or that his family was dead.

But as his already blurry vision started to get worse, and the pain started to disappear, Alex knew his life was coming to an end, and no matter how strongly he wanted it not to be so.

Soon with every second that passed, the pain he felt lessened, the world dimmed, and his heart slowed he would die here unable to get revenge, and his body would become food for all sorts of animals, his life was taken and he had no choice.

'No, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!' Alex screamed in his mind feeling his heart stopping.

'I don't want to die, I don't deserve to die like this, I want revenge, I want them to die, I want their blood, their souls, I want their hearts in my hand so I could crush them one by one, I don't deserve to die!!!' Alex screamed in his mind, as his soon to be last thoughts as his heart stopped.

{Zzzzz, A host has been found..... currently in critical condition, life extend protocol will start until the host makes a decision...Zzzz}

(Alex Pov)

"Is this the afterlife?" he asked as he looked around in the darkness surprised to have appeared in what seemed to be his fully healed body.

{This is not the afterlife, you are currently in the system space until you make a choice.} a mechanical voice sounded reverberating through the space.

Alex jumped and looked around failing to spot another person in the infinite darkness.

{ You won't see me, I have no physical form.}

{Zzzzz I want to bind with you, do you agree or not??}

"Hold on, bind?? I don't even know what a system is and what do you mean bind?" Alex questioned.

{Zzzz as you are currently not the host, I can only keep your soul for so long, if you don't agree now your soul will move to the true afterlife and you will die for real.}

{Agree or not}

"If I agree I will not die?" Alex asked.

{Yes}

"I could get my revenge."

{Yes}

"I agree!!" Alex said without hesitation.

{Found suitable host.... bind in process.....1%.....50%.....78%....99%...100%.... binding complete, host in critical condition currently suffering from serious injuries emergence healing started.}

Alex only heard the mechanical voice in his head, as he felt his self shift and returned to the broken body he once had, he could feel all the pain once again, but it was soon replaced as a warm feeling flooded his body and he was covered in a green light as his injuries healed at an extremely fast pace.

His Jaw, his fingers, and toes were healed and Alex was back to before everything had happened.

{Healing finished.... detected fifteen people nearby who have/had killing intent for the host, you are granted power for ten minutes to deal with targets.}

{Ding}

[Quest]

Deal with all fifteen targets(Killing or simple beating is up to the host)

Reward- ?????

Penalty- none

A power soon filled Alex's body as he stood for his chair, he knew who the system was referring to, he was no match for them before but now things are different the power granted by the system made him feel he could destroy a mountain with one punch.
