RE-BIRTH!

-----

[Host has activated the system]

"what could this be, am I hallucinating" Liam thought as his consciousness slipped away as he fell. "I was expecting my life to flash before but instead I hallucinate about weird writings, it sucks to die like this"

STAB!!

Liam had landed on a crystal spike that gutted from the ground, he felt burning sensation around his chest or at least were it used to be.

AHHH...!

Liam was forced awake by the sharp pain no cursing threw out his body'

Ding!

[Life force of host is draining!]

[Attempting to heal wound]

"Stop it you dumb illusion!" Liam screamed. "I cant believe I have to die while my own mind mocks me".

[Attempt Failed]

"STOP...!!" cried Liam, tears now coming down his face. "Right now my damned uncle takes my title as I die hear while my mind conjures illusions as my pathetic attempt to survive!" he cried out.

[Attempting to heal wound]

[Attempt failed]

[Diagnosis]

[Mana reserve too low to heal host]

[Looking for alternative sources of mana]

[AREA DEVOID OF MANA!]

By now Liam had given in to what he believed was his minds torture or a twisted away of the universe to mock him.

Ding!

[Strange energy detected]

[Energy identified as miasma]

[Notice: System will now use miasma to substitute insufficient mana supply]

Graaah.....!

Liam screamed as his pain intensified a hundred fold. "Wasn't this hell enough" Liam thought. He was thinking of his experience as less of an illusion now.

[Miasma is too toxic for host]

[Body functions failing]

[Notice: Changing host in order to assimilate miasma]

[Change complete in 10 seconds]

[10, 9, 8...., 4, 3, 2]

Liam took what he thought of as his last breath

[Notice: HOST HAS DIED]

[Change complete]

[Reviving host...]

[HOST REVIVED!]

*****

Liam awoke, much to his own surprise. "I thought I was dead, is this the after life. Have I been cursed to relive the same scenario as my death" Liam thought as he grabbed the enormous spike that had impaled his chest leaving him suspended off the ground . "At least the annoying texts are gone" Liam thought as he pulled up with all his might.

BAAM!

Liam landed on the ground loudly, then he felt a slight tingle around the hole in his chest

[Obstruction removed, Commencing with healing]

"What the hell!" Liam shouted as he watched the hole in his chest close up. "The injury... its gone!". And indeed the injury was gone only leaving a large scar.

"The texts... their back" Liam said. "They seem to to be coming from an entity that refers to itself as the system. Is this entity a friend or foe".

"Um... System? Ah!" Liam screamed, surprised as a window appeared in front of his face.

"This seems to be a description of me. Why the hell are the values soo low!" Liam said rather annoyed by this.

"System explain yourself Liam said feeling rather silly for talking to himself".

[The host has been accessed based on the potential of his species and has been judged to be WEAK!]

"I...I see" Liam said feeling startled as he did not expect a reply. "What is this specie, I have never heard of it?, is my transformation due to the change the system mentioned earlier?" Liam thought. He had concluded that he had to accept things as they were and panicking would not help much.

[Affirmative!]

[The specie Kishin are undead life form that rely on miasma gotten from consuming the souls of those harboring dark thoughts or emotions like regret or blood lust]

"You can hear my thoughts" Liam asked.

[Affirmative]

"At least now I wont feel silly speaking out loud" he said while looking up not being able to to see a thing. "I wonder how far down I must be" he thought to himself

Ding!

HISSS...!

Liam turned around only to be greeted by the sight of an 8 meter long centipede covered with dark plates, rearing itself upwards, snapping its pincers that were each at least a meter long as it prepared to attack.

"Shit" Liam muttered as he summoned his sword out of his dimensional storage ring while assuming a fighting stance.
