1 System space

Song Ning was an assistant secretary in a firm. She had a fulfilling life with a nice job and loving family. She is the youngest child of the family with an older brother. Her parents belonged to the upper middle class and provided the siblings with a good environment to grow.

All was going well until she went on a business trip and met with a car accident along the way.

But before dying she heard a cold and emotionless sound in her head saying "Body is Consistent with requirements. Binding with the body 25%....50%....76%....100%. Successful". Before she could ask anything she lost her consciousness.

After an unknown period of time, Song Ning opened her eyes and found herself in a pure white space. There was nobody except her. She remembered that she was in hospital after the accident and heard some voices but she is here now. She is afraid but has nobody to ask.

She tried to hug herself as a psychological reaction for protection but found her body is translucent and then reality hit her. She is dead and now she is a soul or maybe a ghost but what is this place.

Suddenly, that emotionless voice sounded again in her mind, "Hello Host, I am system number 2786, i am your system and guide. If you want or ask anything, you can ask. If it is permissible then I will try to answer all your queries. After enquiring about queries, you can check your stats."

Song Ning has read many novels about the system but being bound by a system in reality is very shocking. She always regarded these systems as fictional things.

She tried to calm herself found from anxiety and fear even in a soul state and asked, "what system is this and why am i chosen?"

"This is a counter attacking system for people who have deep resentments and about why you are chosen is a data you are not qualified to know" replied the cold mechanical voice of the system.

Song Ning was confused about this deep resentment concept so she asked, "There are so many people who die with resentments and if all of them ask for counter attacks then what will happen?"

"All the people are not qualified to ask for a counter attack" answered 2786.

"Then who is qualified?" Song Ning got curious but was poured on cold water by 2786's answer : "Task-taker is not qualified to know."

"Then are there any more task takers other than me?"

"Task-taker is not qualified to know" sounded again.

"Ok then, you tell me what am i qualified to know about the system?" Song Ning really wanted to know more about her situation as this is going to be her job from now on, so the more information the better.

2786 answered truthfully, "you go to different planes which are worlds and help the person to fulfill their wishes and in return you get points. But if you fail to do these missions then your soul will be obliterated to never be reincarnated"

Song Ning was scared a bit by hearing the soul obliteration as she wants to live, even as a different person in a different world. She made up her mind to do the very best to complete these missions as this is the only way for her survival.
