The Redemption System (Part 1):

Genesis January 1st, 0001:

My consciousness came back just as fast as it disappeared, suddenly still with my eyes closed, unconsciously got into a defensive position. It was only after a while that I was able to relax again, and while still afraid that pain would arrive, I was still able to somewhat relax, still, I wasn't able to think that I was in hell, as that is where I was supposed to go.

It was only then I was able to start sensing my surroundings, feeling the mud on my back, startled, I opened my eyes and jumped up from the ground, it was only then that I was able to see all of the trees and vegetation around me, completely confused, as I had no idea where I was, nor why I was here.

Regardless, from what I could gather, I was currently stuck in the middle of some sort of exotic forest or more likely just a jungle, so chances were that I wouldn't find civilization anytime soon, meaning that I should try to find a river, not only was water essential but cities could be found around rivers due to their roots as ancient settlements.

Before I left though, I could see what I thought was a glowing light coming from the mud I was layin on just moments before, I slowly approached it after grabbing a stick on the ground, as I had absolutely no idea what was making the mud glow, and I wasn't about to take any chances when the stick touched whatever was under the mud though, thankfully nothing happened.

Using the stick I was able to make out that it was round, eventually, the stick went through something, so I immediately pulled the stick out of the mud and ran away not knowing what to expect, when I looked at the stick though, there was a golden pocket watch, the second my eyes saw it, I knew exactly what it was.

I now knew for a fact that something wasn't right, and my suspicions of being in hell had certainly risen, but unable to hold back I grabbed the pocket watch and tried to open it, before I could though, I felt my entire body stop as an enormous amount of pain came over my body for only a couple of seconds, when the pain went away though, something remarkable happened.

Not only was the inside of the watch intact, but it began working, this was great, not only because the pocket watch was restored, but because I actually had a way to measure time, meaning that I would know how much time I had before nighttime arrived. I tried to put away the pocket watch, but it was then that I noticed that I was only wearing what seemed to be some sort of plant boxers. Before I could do much though, the pocket watch began to glow, and I could hear a voice.

Bzzt…Redemption System booting up…. "Hello Stevan Ciracio, and welcome to the Genesis of Humanity, in the World of Redemption" said an unknown voice in a monotone way.

I was frozen in place, unable to understand what was happening, but before I could start truly freaking out, the voice began to state its purpose.

"Welcome host, to the world of redemption, you were chosen to help prove to god that there's still hopes in humanity by making humanity survive until the interstellar age, as for right now you are currently at the genesis of humanity, and I'm here to help you in your journey, any questions? :D"

"Yes, actually, although what you just said sounds fun and all, I do still have to wonder what makes you think that I WOULD LISTEN TO A MAGICAL VOICE IN MY HEAD TELLING ME THAT IM SOME SORT OF CHOSEN ONE ESPECIALLY WHEN I KNOW THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE IN HELL!"

"Well host, it's your choice whether you want to believe me or not. At the end of the day you reap what you sow, still, do you really have a choice, I mean, you are currently stuck somewhere unknown"

"That's exactly why I'm not trusting you, I have no idea where this is, for all I know Satan has set this whole thing up as an elaborate scheme just to mess with my emotions"

"That's illogical host, if Satan actually wanted to toy with your emotions he would just fill your head with memories of the perfect life and then play it falling apart and watch your agony until you become used to it, at which point he'd just change your memories again"

" The fact that you know that not only does not help your argument but also makes you unbelievably more suspicious than before"

"You know host, I'm ok with you being brain dead but could you at least let me tell you what I need to before you assume I'm trying to hurt you"

"...Fine, I'll listen, couldn't hurt much anyways"

"Ok, so host, you are actually currently in the part of the Amazon Jungle that falls in what used to be Peru, your home country, and with the knowledge you have and the help of the system, you are to help humanity prosper until the interstellar age without ending itself or dying out. As for how the system works, it basically gives or takes redemption points (RP) from you depending on whether you better the life of somebody else, or end up making it worse while knowing what you were doing, as for what the RP can be used for, it can be exchanged for knowledge you don't have in order to help you achieve your goal, or extend your lifespan so as long as you have enough points to continue on living nothing you do matters, hell if you help enough people you could become a cannibal and still live on"

"That sounds fake, anyways, is there any way to get you to leave, my head?"

"There is, but it might take a while to explain"
