It was dark and cold, so cold that one would feel like they were being chilled to the bone. There was no ground, neither was there a sky. There were no creatures in sight and not an environment to experience, it was dark...and cold.
Reitolk opened his eyes in discomfort, only to be greeted with a scene he was not at all familiar with, well, lack there of. As he was examining the area he found himself in, an emotionless voice reached his ears.
*Player please input your character information.*
A system screen was before him asking him for his character information, this alone was enough to make him realize where he was. But...how was he supposed to believe it?!!
Was he reborn, reincarnated or something, no.
He felt it, he didn't know what he felt, but it seemed to tell him he wasn't brought here through some miraculous means. More like...he was here the whole time.
He didn't understand what to make of this situation, but he didn't need to make one just yet. A foreboding aura was surrounding the timer above the system screen from before. He only had five minutes to finalize his character's information. And as time passed by the pressure he felt only grew.
Quickly he put in the information from before, there were multiple things he had to put in, such as name, gender, and some personal information to link your character to who you are in case of emergencies.
Right before he confirmed his character's information he stopped himself. There was only 1 minute and a few seconds left.
"System I want to leave", he called out hoping as he realized the situation and possibility before him.
No response
"System logout" he called out once more.
No response
"Secret'break-ForceLog, NOW", he screamed in sadness and desperation.
*Players will be able to logout after character information finalization.*
"Bull crap", he screamed in sadness, why was he here? He regretted that choice he made back then, it felt like years had passed since that choice but even then it had only been a year since then. It had only been a year in that...in that...dream??? Simulation??? he looked at himself and realized he had no scars on his body nor any demonization marks occurring on his left arm.
"I'm no longer demonized", he muttered in astonishment, those words quickly proved to be a huge mistake.
*Human Reitolk Isaac bashayar has become an anomaly, initializing The Fair Neutralizing Anomaly Procedure.*
*Time to complete player character registration has been reduced by 90%*
*Player information collection and integration speed reduced by half*
Suddenly the 49 seconds Reitolk had reduced to 4.9 secs and was running out quickly. Registration and integrating player's finalized information usually took 2 seconds to complete.
Clicking the finalize button so his character information could be registered and integrated into his player character form before the timer ran out he immediately started sweating bullets as he watched as the timer on the system became smaller and smaller, until, finally it disappeared as a new message showed itself.
*Character information has been finalized, now teleporting player to 'Survival's Rise'*
In the blink of an eye Reitolk disappeared.
Sorry about the abruptness of this start, but um, I decided to stress my brain to place some clues on what happened the MC that led to this situation.
