Second Chance

The cemetery was empty on that cold night.

It was a place with many gravestones, a vast reminder of the lives that had come to an end.

It served as a reminder to all, that in the face of death, everyone was equal. 

In the middle of the cemetery, there was a large tomb constructed from black marble, which suited the somber ambiance of the area.

The tomb had a spacious interior, but it housed only one unfortunate soul in this vast cemetery. 

It contained the remains of a man who had passed away a decade ago. 

His family had loads of money, enough to get him his own tomb. But even with all their riches, the poor guy never got the justice he deserved when he passed away.

He had been laid to rest without a single mourner in sight. His relatives had merely seized his wealth and assets, showing no sorrow or grief for his passing. 

Now, he remained stagnant in this place.

But in the very next moment, the inside of the coffin shifted slightly.

It was as if his soul, still yearning for closure and perhaps an apology for the solitude that had plagued him after his passing, wanted to make itself known.

'Finally, I thought I was stuck being a corpse my entire life. This system's download time is way too long. ' Reign sighed in frustration.

He transmigrated a year ago and was informed that he would be receiving a system. However, he almost died the second time when he saw that the downloading time was 365 days. 

The experience inside the coffin was very painful for him.

Fortunately, he managed to endure it because, compared to what he endured in that dreadful laboratory, spending a year inside a coffin, even paralyzed, felt much easier.

Still, it did affect his already fragile mental state. It was a good thing that he was already crazy, so he didn't lose too much of his sanity.

"I'm going to fucking vent all my frustrations to the first person who irritates me," he grumbled.

Then, after a few moments, he started laughing like a maniac. 

"Finally, I got this cheat system. I'm going to rule this planet! I'll become a god!" he declared with pride while looking at the interface in front of him.

He felt excited , and his head spun as he thought about all the cool things he could do with his system.

Of course, he was still set on getting payback for what happened to him. It was fortunate that the system had told him a year ago that he could go back home after getting strong enough.

As for why he was transmigrated,?

Well, thinking about such stuff was useless anyway, so it was better to accept everything as it was and trust the system's words. It's not like he has any other options to begin with.

"Status!" he happily summoned the status interface with his thought.

Reign checked his stats and nodded in understanding. He had expected this to be the case since his body couldn't move.

It was no surprise that all his stats were F, aside from intelligence and endurance.

'Let's check the gift,' he said to himself.

He concentrated his attention on the gift box icon, and another window appeared.

'This system is a cheapskate! If I meet a dangerous opponent now, I'll absolutely die! ' He grumbled but quickly regained his composure.

He had survived being a lab rat for years, so he knew he could endure and prevail in this situation as well.

'I should maintain a low profile until I've earned more strength; otherwise, I'll just die and squander my second life,' he made a mental note.

He had learned this lesson from personal experience.

The reason he had to endure so much suffering was because he had become too high profile without having enough power to defend himself. 

'Alright, I will upgrade my stats,' he said, distributing his attribute points to what he thought was the best choice.

[Ding]

Strength: (F-) --> (F) --> (F+)

"Perfect, " he grinned in satisfaction.

He put 5 points into his strength because he was worried that his current lifting power might not be sufficient to push the stone cover.

When he saw that 5 points turned (F-) to (F), he added another 5 points to strength, making it (F+). 

It was better to add more strength points just to be safe.

The coffin was sealed with cement and marble, but the top could be removed with enough force from the inside. 

"It's time to leave this place,"
