"Zkon, I am sorry to announce this…but your signals are failing, you are at death's door!"
A doctor said to Zkon as he gripped his hand, his eyes faltering between Zkon and the floor.
"This… this can't be true!!!"
Zkon said as he started to mutter,
"NO, NO, NO!!!!"
His whole body started shaking.
Zkon started looking around but every eye turned away. The nurse he always talked to stared at the ground, the doctor clenched his fist, turning his head away in shame.
"Everyone, give Zkon some time to adjust…and call his parents!"
The doctor said as he walked out the hospital room, and the rest followed with their heads hung low.
After everyone left, Zkon started to shout as he stared at the ceiling, his eyes beginning to water.
"Why do I have to live my life in a hospital?!"
Zkon began to shed tears, as his face contorted in rage and sadness, but he was helpless to do anything about it.
He has spent his whole life in a hospital, and now he got news he was dying.
He felt worthless and helpless. He has always been a burden to his family, he knew that—but he so badly wanted to recover and to pay back his family, that is why he didn't stop them when they fought for his life.
But he knew that was a lie—he was just afraid, afraid of death, and afraid of what comes next. He was a coward who just burdened his family.
"Maybe it's not so bad that I'm dying… Mom and Dad can finally relax and they can send Lucia to school."
He looked at the bedside table where a portrait of his family lay.
"Dad, Mom…why does destiny have to be so harsh?"
The tears still streaming down his face.
Beep, beep.
The machine next to him started beeping.
The machine repeated, but Zkon couldn't hear. His eyes began to blur. The world spins and that burning feeling of carbon dioxide started to build up.
"It hurts. What have I committed to be punished like this?!"
The hospital staff began to run into the room, but it was not like Zkon could see. He had already left this cruel world.
….
"Where am I?"
It cold, extremely cold, zakon couldn't see or hear anything but a smell wafted into his nose.
"That smells horrible, what is that!".
A voice suddenly appeared in his,
[ the host has died, and is now reincarnated as a zombie]
"What?—"
Zakon said in surprise as he looked at the blue screen.
"I have died huh…am finally not just a burden anymore, am glad"
Zakon siad as he smiled bitterly. He didn't like this feeling, it affect him way too much but he just accepted it.
Zakon held his hand together and prayed even tho he didn't believe in any god but this moment he was just glad.
After praying he turn his focus back to the system.
"So system, where am I?"
[your in a coffin]
"A coffin?, did I take over a body of a dead person?"
Zakon said as he moved his hand toward the lid trying to push it upwards but the coffin didn't budge.
"System, did you but me in a impossible situation, how am I gonna get out?!".
Zakon screamed at the glowing screen, and Annoyment started to rise.
[host you have some unassigned point, say 'status' to distrbute]
" oh yeah, the status, how could I CD forgot it!,

" system Is this strong or weak?"
Zakon asked.
[extremely weak, the average human in this world is around 10 for all stats]
"Wow am that weak, but on the upside have the system!, system explain your rules and those 2 abilities".
Zakon already got the gist but It better to make sure.
[the system is a leveling system, you kill enemy you get point you assign them.

"That's really over powered!"
Zakon said in existment. And then threw the status again.
"System, add all the point to strength."
[+2 strength]
A burning feeling started to rise inside zakon as it spread across his body, his muscle tightened and he felt his strength rise considerably.
'That that amazing, I thought it be painful but it enjoyable'.
zakon thought as he started to push the coffin.
It started to creak and and it finally started moving.
As it moved dirt and sand fell into the coffin and light entered as while.
The coffin finally fully open and the lid fell to the side.
"Wow…this world has 3 moons"
Zakon stared at the sky, it was night time and stars filled the night. The three moon bodies right next to each other in perfect harmony.
It was beautiful.
Zakon finally stood up from from the coffin and stood out in the open.
Zakon looked around and he seem to be a cemetery. The earth was damped and the night was Cold.
Zakon took a deep breath, he spread his arms trying to take it all in.
"What a wonder new world!"
Zakon said as he walked around the cemetery, it was late at night so there no need to be worry about being spotted.
Zakon walked circles in the cemetery as he saw the different areas.
"The rich really have it goood huh, they have a awhole ass tombs as their burying place!".
He sat On of the coffin inside the 'tomb', but he suddenly heard voice.
"Tonight theres barely any guards, we will be rich"
Zakon heard a man's voice and ducted behind a wall, he quited down and listened.
Another man replied to the first.
"Yeah, but it kinda suspicious how theres barely no guards at all"
He said as he looks around, the other man shook his head as he explain to his friend.
"It must just be because of the rumours of the wondering demon outside the city which made people scared and quite their jobs.
The other nervous man agreed as he walked even closer beside the first man after hearing the wondering demon.
Zakon listened intently to the too man as he tried to get as most information as possible.
The man came closer and closer to the 'tomb' were zakon was hiding.
"What do I do?, these guy will catch me and kill me if they find me here, the average human is almost twice my strength."
Zakon started to panick as he look around.
'I should have never left that coffin.'
He started panicking as he heard their voice's around the coffin inside the tomb.
