Benjamin head felt like exploding while the pain surged through his body. At first it was just his head then it accelerated twice causing his whole body to throb.

Then Silence , Blackness, nothingness!

He felt his body moving then a sudden sensation went through his body until he was able to open his eyes again.

The sight of a neverending blackness caused him to scream out but his voice just echoed back to him.

This time there were no *blinding lights* it was just him floating in the neverending darkness. Then instantly A noise sounded.

[HELLO THERE ] The voice sounded inhuman .

"Hello" Benjamin tried to speak but he had no lips. He touched his face but he realized that he didn't have a nose or lips. Afraid, he screamed inside his mind.

*Ahhhhhhhhhh* Meticulously his own screaming echoed from far away until he heard it again coming from the background.

[You can't speak here. Use your inner voice if you want to suggest something.]

'Where the heck is this place!' He swore. 'I don't even have a mouth'

[Silence]

*Why am I here? Am I dead?*

[No. You are in coma] The voice sounded again as if the owner of the voice was invisible.

*Why can't I see you? Show your yourself* He yelled again.

[Negative. I can't show you my true form for now. You will freak out. But you can think about anyone you want and I appear like him.]

Benjamin tried to recall the people he knew. Vanessa would have been perfect but he just didn't know what she looked like. Clara maybe? But just seeing her in his mind every night would make him think about stuff he didn't want to think about, so he just settled on the kid.

*Ricky.*

Suddenly out of nowhere an illumination appeared in the dark. Then Ricky materialized out of the illumination .

*So there were lights after all*

[You can talk to me in this form.] He said but the voice was still inhuman just like before.

*Why am I here?*

[You are worthy to be selected as my host] He said.

*I am your host. Are you kidding me?*

[ I chose you to be my host.]

*But I don't want to be. What will I gain in return?* Benjamin asked.

[A lot]

*Okay* His questions wasn't answered but he had to listen to what he might tell him.

[ You are Benjamin Reeds A habitant from the ocean]

*So you know who I am. Does it mean you can explain why I keep on forgetting?*

[ You memory loss will be healed after your first goal have been completed]

Benjamin Reeds wanted to ask him but he didn't. He just needed to know what he was dealing with so instead he questioned.

*What are you?*

[I am many things. The Co-nian, the original, But to you I am just a mere slave stuck inside you forever. I am just a system"

*Wait, what? Like a robot?*

[Something like that.]

*Cool. So when do we begin?*

[You seemed excited. Why]

*So do I get to see holograms.*

[Negative. You haven't reached that level yet. You must finish your quest first before you can see that]

*What is my quest?*

[Survive in your beast from]

*What beast form..* It was then Benjamin recalled the battle between him and Fenty. *I am the Trigon. That cursed monster?*

Benjamin's question was never answered.

[ I am taking over.]

*You want to control me? I don't think that's how systems work. They provide information to their hosts and guide them towards the completion of their daily quest.*

[You are in no position to rescue your friends. Taking control over your body in 4.3.2.1……

    "After she has transformed, make sure you implant a chip at the back of her head so I can control her directly." Inside the room was a man probably rich. He had a strong aura around his brown curly hair. His body was in no way lacking in development. But his face was facing the other end making Co-nian stare at his back instead. "I will sir" The other guy said but it sounded unclear to Co-nian "Sir, I am really sorry I couldn't retrieve that boy " " Don't worry Agent Fenty, I assure you he will come back snooping around." The man said with confidence." Wait what? I broke his legs" Fenty scratched his head. " Sir I'm sorry, I am sure I killed him.""

"Her name is Clara, right?" He asked his college doctors, unsure whether the only detail they could gather up was just her name. "We need to inform the government about her" One of the doctors stared at her body once again before leaving the room.***" How did I get here" Benjamin asked Co-nian. He screamed within. 'What the heck did you do with my body you damn system' He wanted to hear him response but everything was just silent in his head. "Where is Clara, is she alive?" Benjamin babbled.

Priscilla is the senior nurse at the hospital despite the fact that she bribed her way into getting that position, there was no way she was going to let someone take it away. Even if it meant killing. Priscilla was just standing there waiting for whatever the girl in front of her might ask. And she hated acting like she cared because she didn't. She didn't give a damn about the girl even if she was going to kill herself.Clara came to stand beside the nurse she almost killed few minutes ago. Clara wasn't really thinking straight at the moment until she recalled the note her parents left. They had told her to ca

Her body responded to her reflexes enabling her to dodged the attack by bending over while her opponent's scissors whips horizontally over her body.Priscilla's scissors just went past Clara, because of the speed, she moved forward passing just in front of Clara.Clara saw an opportunity for their flee and happily grabbed it by using all the strength she had left to p

He pulled the CHEYTAC M200 Intervention sniper once again.Bang!The bullet traveled right behind Clara's ear like a speeding bug then the bullet plunged through the floor instantly. The sniper didn't wait, he fired his bullet the second time. Luckily for Clara she sat down just as the bullet was about to hit her. "Fuck … I missed" The sniper angrily punched the wall. " Because of that insolent boy, I killed another guy. "Benjamin watched the bullet holes on the ground that were meant to hit him. He squatted near the walls and touched the textures with his fingers. Then he traced the direction of the bullets, peeking through the window he saw that tall building near the park. As he continued looking, the assassin had left his current position moving downstairs. Just a few minutes ago Clara and Benjamin were feeling relieved. They thought all their problems were

    It has been twenty minutes since that beast left and it was becoming clear that maybe Benjamin might have something to do with that beast. Because everytime the beast showed up Benjamin would go missing."Benjamin!" She screamed his name out loud the second time but her voice reverberated throughout the forest but she didn't hear any response. With Benjamin missing she was not certain about her safety around the river anymore. So she walked away from the river.Few minutes ago when she had woken up, the first thing she saw was that huge ugly-beast standing above her like he was going to eat her any instant. But when she screamed, the beast looked at her as if it was telling her something then left. As she sat down slowly she was able to recover a series of a very blurry picture of a beast lifting her from the river and someone swimming her towards the ground but she ignored it. Anger has blinded her! " Who is there!" Behind the trees, something was hiding in it, Clara watched as the t

How did you become so black?" Dawn's cries reverberated, drawing Benjamin closer to her to find out what was going on.But Benjamin couldn't think clearly. Wasn't Dawn searching for her father?

Totally forgetting about Benjamin.Intrigued by the mystery of this "father," Benjamin decided to follow Dawn discreetly, hoping to discover more about her situation. He attempted to move silently, wanting to remain unnoticed. However, his efforts were in vain, as Dawn eventually caught on to his presence."Why are you following me?"

"Um, well, I was just walking.. to-""Get to the point, I don't have time," Dawn interrupted impatiently.Realizing he needed to act quickly, Benjamin blurted out, "I was actually searching for clues to find Jinx.

"I don't care if you believe your eyes or not. Now can you get out of my way?""No, You are not going anywhere. You need to answer my questions first."Dawn asked, "What questions?""So it's really you? What is going on in the slave establishment. What has happened there?" "The slave establishment is doing just fine. The warden has killed almost all the slaves that came in that day. Only a few of us survived. By the way, where is Jinx? If I remember it clearly, you were both thrown into the dungeon." Dawn asked, looking around.Benjamin was at a loss for words when Dawn asked him this question. How could he tell her what actually happened to Jinx, when he didn't know what actually happened to her?

It had changed from bright blue to dark."It's about to rain?" Benjamin asked himself, not knowing what to do, he turned around only to notice that the nearest tree with a canopy was far away.The sound of the rushing wind increased sending gusts of wind in the land where the lone boy was standing. Gritting his teeth, Benjamin started running.He wanted to reach there in time before the rain starts.But the wind was against his plans as it kept on blind folding him with the dust. It got to a point where Benjamin couldn't see anything aside from the sight of dust that had blended in with the air.At this state, the system automatically sent him a message.[Water control and Cloud walk Activated]A divine feeling washed over him as he felt the rush of air a

"Mage Talastu, may your soul rest in peace"After saying that he reached his hands into the pocket of Talastu. But something was a miss. "Where is the spell book?"He searched his body again thinking maybe he might has hidden it inside his clothing but to Benjamin's dismay, there wasn't anything for him to find.Even all the weird items he has touched earlier when retrieving the spell book was no longer inside his pocket. With this revelation, Benjamin started having doubts."What of this is all illusion?" Benjamin gritted his teeth as if he was going to chew them. What happens if this was just an illusion? Then it will mean that Talastu might not be dead and he will definitely not be happy about Benjamin killing him. This sudden idea made Benjamin's blood

Listen carefully boy, for me to be able to find the princess, I need to be strong and healthy…" As he was talking he felt a stinging pain in his chest. " Ahh, please search my pocket, you will find my spell book. Remove it for me." He gritted his teeth in pain trying to force himself from yelling. "Please… hurry!"" Okay."Benjamin reached his hands to search Talastu's pocket. He nearly fainted by the thing his hands touched before he was finally able to retrieve the book. The spell book was as big as the size of his palm. It looked plain-black with no special paintings on it, and didn't look anything like a spell book. Which made Benjamin doubt him. "Here" Benjamin handed the book to him and stood by the side and watch as Talastu flicked the pages a few more times until he was able to find a page with the spell he was looking for. Benjamin looked at the rejoicing face of the mage, who was

Just as Benjamin asked this question, something unexpected happened.Tthe mage was only engrossed in his own thoughts as he watched the disastrous state of a princess. But just as he was unaware of his surroundings, he felt a sharp, long sword piercing through his heart!Since they were in an illusion, the moment Talastu felt that sharp pain, all the surroundings he had created with his power vanished, bringing them back to the dark forest.At that moment, there was a five-meter-long black sword stuck in his chest. Behind the sword was the unforgettable face of the Red creature who once abducted Benjamin."Hahaha, did you forget about me all
