1 Three Options

It was dark. The only light was beneath her like a ripple in the water. There was an unrecognisable yet familiar classical tune playing in the background like a melodrama.

She sighed once again at the growing pain that was spread around her body. She didn't know how long she had been here, but the pain had stopped her from moving.

She listened to the music to drone out the pain. It helped her to tolerate the pain but failed to lessen it.

*Transfer Complete*

*Initiation Start*

*Hello there, if you are able to communicate with me say yes, if you're unable to communicate, you'll be given 5 minutes*

At this point, she wasn't sure if the pain or boredom she felt would kill her first.

"Yes!" Her voice was clear and smooth. It caused a contrast to the robotic voice she had heard.

*Good. Are you ready to gain back your memories?*

"Yes."

*Memory transfer start*

Her head began to throb, as an influx of information entered.

Selena Lee. Single. Died at 22 due to a car accident. One brother and father. Mom dies due to blood loss when giving birth to the brother. Waitress.

These were the key info, but among them were the more simple stuff like her hatred for carrots and some information she wished she could forget.

"Hah" she rested on the floor that began to feel surprisingly soft.

"If I'm dead, why does my body hurt so much!"

*You're not dead*

She closed her eyes, she could remember vividly about the crash. How the car plummeted at her. The sound of her bones. Her dizziness. The feeling of her blood leaving. They were clear. How that heck could she now be dead?!

"Explain please," She steadied her voice as she laid. The pain was beginning to subside.

*You dies but was saved by our life support system. Your body is now in a coma but once you return, you can continue living your life. As long as we sustain the system, you could live on forever.*

Her eyes widened. Didn't this mean...this system basically held her life in its hands?! If it did had hand...

"Who are you?"

*I am your transmigration system and your life support system. Do you wish for me to continue answering you questions or will you let me finish my explanation*

If the system had a face, she was sure it would be glaring at her.

"Continue."

*Okay. Your job is to go into the bodies of our customers and grant their requests. By doing so, I will continue your life support. If you fail, I will cut you off and you'll die physically and spiritually*

*You have 3 options. Number 1, you can forfeit your human body and live here. With this option, you'll work full-time at your job with a 2 yearly vacations. Number 2, you can work full-time with no vacations for 50 years. After that, you will be released from the system to live the rest of your life.*

*Number 3, work as a part-timer. You will work 12 hours a day with the other 12 to be spend in your original body. This contract is a lifetime one, unless certain condition are met condition in which the contract will be exterminated and you'll be allowed to live the rest of your life.*

*Do you have any questions?*

Selena's head hurt as she processed the information. She was in a transmigration system just like those in novels. Lucky for her, she wasn't actually dead.

Option 1 was definitely out, she didn't want her mom to join her in the afterlife. Option 2 might make her die from overworking. Only option 3 was left.

"How many other hosts are there?" She inquired.

*There are 867 host currently. This includes part-timers*

"How many part-timers are there?"

*3*

"Huh?" Wouldn't most choose part-time? "Why are there so little?"

*Not many are lucky enough that they're bodies are still salvageable. You are the 5th person with an intact body*

"I see." She had made her choice but she definitely wanted to wring out any info she could get.

"Please expand on option 3"
