In a small office room filled with heavy air, an employer and employee conversed.
Holding His head high and his tie neatly tied was Fujuzuki as he waited for his boss's response. Hinata Fujuzuki was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He had an average build and was normal in every way except for His attitude which was highly negative and his demeanor which was manly anxious and guarded.Even so, Fujuzuki was unrivaled when it came to working.He had excelled at work so much that he had never missed a day of it even if he was sick, and now for the first time in a decade, Fujuzuki has requested leave....."Mr. Fujuzuki, am afraid your offer has been declined." this was the shocking news that came from his boss."Wait... what?""I can't give you leave Mr. Fujuzuki." "W...why? was there anything wrong with my attendance record?" Fujuzuki timidly responded as if he was a naive little child and With his response, His boss busted out in huge laughter as he laughed at the timidness of his employee."It looks like you don't get what's happening here.""Huh!? Wh... what do you mean?""Your attendance was perfect, even your performance was of top quality, but..."Though Fujuzuki didn't know much about his boss, The moment he heard the "But" come from his boss's mouth, He knew that his leave was never gonna happen." We don't want you to ruin your perfect record, Now do we? As such you shall continue coming to work as usual." this was the lie that came from his boss.His boss continued with his lies as a means to convince Fujuzuki to not take leave, and his lies would blow out of proportion every time he opened his mouth.Listening to his boss's lies, A thought crossed Fujuzuki's mind "Corporate Slave" Was what he had thought. The situation he was in was that of a slave other than that of a paid employee. "His boss was good to lie" He would think as he realized what his boss truly thought of him.The confidence in his boss's words, the excitement he felt Even the smile he had on his face, said "What a pushover." This was what was thought of Fujuzuki who brazenly listened to his boss's lies."Fujuzuki, You sure are a pushover aren't you? I can't believe you're taking my words seriously." these were his boss's true inner thoughts.For Fujuzuki who was always quiet and did what everyone asked of him, His boss thought he would give up quickly, but his thoughts were shattered like glass as Fujuzuki, for the first time tried resisting."But...Sir, I need this leave." He said and With that, he had fueled his boss's rage.His boss's expression went slightly red as veins grew on his fists, and while screaming his lungs out, his boss responded "There are no buts Fujuzuki, I want you here first thing tomorrow got that!?"His boss's words and intentions were very clear, but even so, Fujuzuki needed the leave as he had planned to visit his dying mother.Fujuzuki only received word recently that his mother was soon to pass, and for a person raised by a single parent... Fujuzuki wanted to be there for her mother. This was what had been fueling him."Sir. like I was saying..." To his boss, Fujuzuki just seemed like a brat that wouldn't do as he was told. This was the personality his boss had, He would only listen to his side of the story and not care about what others had to say.Now his boss's slightly red face went completely red as the veins in his hands were about to pop."FUJUZUKI!! Don't you understand what am saying... I want you here first thing tomorrow or your fired, got that!"In his boss's fit of rage, Fujuzuki was rendered mute.He silently stood there as he was cursed and yelled at, and with the way things were, Fujuzuki resembled prey that was in front of a predator. The prey was ready to be devoured any second now.Moments later, Fujuzuki left his boss's office and as he did so, His eyes were fixated on the ground.Walking from the office to his station, Fujuzuki felt the stares, heard the voices, and saw the sinister smiles of his colleagues who showered him with ridicule and gossip.This was yet another night for Fujuzuki, and this was one of the slowest ones.---[23:50]---- The clock on Fujuzuki's desk showed so, and this was proof that working hours had ended a long time ago.Slowly standing up from his chair, Fujuzuki scanned his surroundings only to find that he was the last one left."(sigh) I guess it's time I left too." He exclaimed.He began packing his things, and he did so with the pain that coursed through his back, This was the result of sitting down for too long, Even so, He put up with the pain and quickly left the office.----[Location: The Cloudy Night Sky]< Searching > In the vast skies, an unknown entity with an artificial voice awoke, its artificial voice would echo endlessly in the vast skies.Interfaces popped up in midair and the search began. A level of intelligence far beyond humans started searching for a specific person, as seen by the many faces it showed and pushed away after an analyzed look at their information.As time passed, The search began to move slower as if it was getting closer to its target, and as it got slower and slower.... the search would soon come to a stop.------< Candidate 0003 Found >---------< Beginning Analysis >--------- ---{--Name Hinata Fujuzuki.---Sex: Male---Age:34---Occupation: None specified.---Special traits: True Nature.--}Information on Fujuzuki was shown, Even his height and weight were shown beside his image.------Realizing that the figure was familiar, Fear started to course through his veins. His reasoning wasn't clear, but he still knew that the girl was involved in what he had just experienced."Wh... where have I seen her before?" he asked as a batch of thoughts was thrown at him while observing the Familiar figure.Fujuzuki's eyes were soon stuck on the girl, and after moments of observation, Fujuzuki remembered the familiar figure as the girl who was supposed to die in his weird dream or vision, and with this...his already tangled-up mind lost track of its thoughts as it tried to piece all open pieces together."Why are you here? why were you in my dream? Who are you?" These were all questions He wanted to ask, and as he was Blindly staring at the school girl, Fujuzuki realized that his dream or vision could have been a possible future, and it was soon to happen.There was just one Last piece of information that was missing, The truck that had killed him. If the truck wasn't nearby, then
This was the awakening of the artificial voice in his head.--- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------------ ---"Huh what now?.... is this Regression, "Fujuzuki thought, as pools of blood slowly left his body. The blood would then slowly turn into a thin thread that followed a small rift on the alley floor.The thread carried with it a small soul that led to a secluded space.----[Location: infinite Void] "Huh! where am I?" a confused voice echoed in the vast white space. A soul of a man was stranded there without its memories, This was Fujuzuki.As Fujuzuki stood there in confusion, He heard a voice calling out to him. The voice that had been calling him came from all different sides. To a man without any memories, The voice was a strand of hope, he thought.Soon Fujuzuki began to wander the space searching for something he knew nothing about, and for what seemed to be an eternity he walked alone
[Location: Grasslands] Those were the last words Ruthven heard as he passed out in the grasslands, and hours later, He would wake up to a ringing sound in his head. "Argh.. my head hurts." He said aloud as he stood up under the ancient tree. [Of course, your head hurts, You just experienced over 50 deaths.] A cold yet carefree voice responded to Ruthven's cries inside his head. "Wh... who's that," Ruthven asked. [ Huh!? Have you forgotten me already?] The voice responded.Ruthven after slowly digesting the words of the voice inside his head, he then began to remember the events that had unfolded back in the dark forest. With his sudden realization and although reluctant to, Ruthven asked terrified of the response he would get." Are you the one who was planning on killing those villagers?" As the voice heard Ruthven's question, a cold silence was soon delivered upon the grasslands. The silence didn't last long as the voice responded w
[Location: The First Village]"Huh, what's this?" Ruthven asked as his head was filled with curiosity.He tried to touch the system panel that had shown up before him, but as soon as his hand reached it, the experience of 54 deaths came flooding back.Screaming was soon heard throughout the entire village as Ruthven held his head in pain and fell to the ground " Make it stop!! Make it stop!!" These were the only words that he was capable of saying. His mind was being attacked by the pain of the 54 deaths he had experienced, and each death was slowly eating away at his mental state to the point where he would soon pass out.-------Sometime later Ruthven came through to find out that he was in an odd position.His arms were spread out and his legs were crossed together, He had been tied up on a wooden cross.With a crooked voice tired from all the screaming, Ruthven asked. "What's.... going .....on?" A while later when Ruthven had almost calmed down, He slowly began to analyze the sit
[*Sigh* You've disappointed me once again, Rin!] The familiar cold yet carefree voice spoke inside of Ruthven/Rin's head, and hearing the disappointment in its words, Rin remembered their conversation from earlier.Rin was now remembering the deal that was made earlier, even if it was an unfair one it was still a deal. The deal was if Rin were to fail once more in the tutorial Quest, he would seize to exist."O-older brother" Rin unintentionally blurted out while backing away from something he couldn't see as a sign of fear.[You know out of all of our siblings, I was the only one who had faith in you, But now you've gone and lost that faith!]Rin started to feel fear, and as fear coursed through his body, minor changes began to happen to the peaceful grasslands.The once clear sky started to have dark red cracks all over it, and the grass that was peacefully laying down was now on edge like sharp razor blades.[*Sigh* Looks like our reunion will have to be cut short as your soon to se
Ruthven's eyes opened as he was standing at a familiar location, The forest path that lead to the village. "Looks like it's about to begin," he said as he then took three deep breaths before following the path.After a while of walking, and as the light began to pierce through the forest, Ruthven stopped on his journey."This is far enough," he said as he began stretching his body before looking for resources that he would use to create weapons.Hours later when Ruthven had gathered all he needed from the ground, He climbed up a tree that had a view of the entire village, and while atop that tree he stared at the giant system panel above the village. "Hehe... I guess I should thank you now." Ruthven said before he began creating his weapons. The creation of his weapons took a while, but when the sun set, Ruthven had 3 spears, 5 knives, 10 Arrows, and a bow.All his equipment were made out of bamboo shoots, vines, and stones. With his preparations complete, it was now time for Ruthven
Having finally accomplished the tutorial Quest Ruthven breathed in peace as he would soon fall asleep, floating atop the water in the well.___The wind sang as the ancient tree danced to its tone. The vast grasslands that now had cracks in their skies continued peacefully as Ruthven sleptRuthven was tired, he was busy all night taking lives as ordered by the system.Hours later he woke up and his first line of duty was to stretch. He had already noticed the system panel that had shown itself under the Ancient tree, but he wasn't interested in it as he had something more important to do."*sigh* I enjoyed playing Ruthven, but I guess all good things must come to an end." As Ruthven said those words, An {Astral Soul} in the color of evil red left his body, This was Wrath.Moments later after Wrath Left Ruthven's body, 6 more {Astral Souls} left the body leaving it in possession of Rin. All {Astral Souls} had the appearance of Ruthven with just the difference of their colors.#*Nb: Each
As Rin's head was filled with echoes of the name BloodBath System, Time quickly passed without a word or sound from the system.As the system had stopped showing itself, The 7 {Astral Souls} took this as a chance to move on to their main goal, which was deciding what to do with Rin.{Now Rin, are you ready to accept our judgment!?}As Rin heard Pride's words, his mind would create a familiar scene inside his head of the days when they all got along, but this scene meant nothing in the current situation hence why Rin with a resolved look on his face answered with a yes to Pride's question.{Haha looks like you haven't changed at all, little brother.}[See. I told you that he was still stubborn.] said Wrath who had a carefree look on his face.Rin was trying his best to forget about the old days, but with how his brothers acted a gentle smile formed on his face even in his current situation._ Yah.. yah we know he's your favorite, so could we get this over with?_ said greed who had a loo
