"Pretty boy. What's wrong?" An Old lady asked.
YiChen was still staring at the mirror. Staring at the unfamiliar face before him. Wondering what the hell was happening.
"Who is this..." he mumbled to himself "What's happening.. what's all this...?"
He was beyond confused.
The woman walked up to him and helped him back to his bed.
YiChen was still running his hands through his face, trying to understand what happened.
"What happened to me? Where am I? What happened to my face? Did you do some plastic surgery for me while I was asleep?" He questioned.
"You were like this when I saw you. What's wrong?" The woman seemed worried.
"No.." YiChen shocked his head "I wasn't. This isn't me. This isn't me" He said to himself.
He was confused. And so was everyone
YiChen couldn't understand what happened. How it happened and why it happened.
He recalled falling into the bride. The last memory he had.
He was probably in a coma. And woke up now in the hospital. Shouldn't he still be himself?
Why is someone else in his body or why was he in someone's body? He didn't know which happened.
Was he dead? YiChen panicked.
Is this his afterlife? What the hell is happening here?
The woman stared at him, worried "I think you should get some rest. You've been sleeping for a long time so it's normal to be confused when you get up"
YiChen didn't think he could rest or sleep in this situation. He needed to understand what was happening.
And just when he was most curious to know, everything paused.
As though someone had pressed the pause button on a remote, everyone and everything paused.
YiChen looked around. No one was moving. They all stood there like statues.
He robbed his eyes and looked again. It was still the same. What the hell is happening here??
[YOU WERE REVIVED]
YiChen heard a voice. An unfamiliar voice.
He looked around "who's that?"
He didn't see anyone. But he kept hearing the voice
[YOU TOOK YOUR LIFE. AND NOW YOU'RE REVIVED]
YiChen was confused. He was moving around the room with people standing still like statues, trying to figure out who was talking.
But it seemed he wouldn't find anyone. This person seemed to either be invisible or speaking from some sort of speaker.
"Who are you?*
[YOU CAN VIEW ME AS A SYSTEM OR WHATEVER]
YiChen Paused and immediately something came into his mind.
Did he die and get reborn with A FREAKING SYSTEM?
Was that even possible? He had seen that happen in some Webnovel. And saw them as fantasy and impossible.
But was he really.... Living it?
"I'm dead?" YiChen said.
[YOU TOOK YOUR LIFE. AND NOW YOU'RE REVIVED]
"I didn't take my life. I stopped and walked back. I just... Slipped" He explained.
[STILL SAME. YOU KILLED YOURSELF. AND NOW YOU'VE BEEN REVIVED]
YiChen guess it was right. He couldn't blame anyone for his silly act. Trying to take his life in the first place was a wrong move. It was terrible so he had to take the blame himself.
"But why am I back? Am I not supposed to be in the afterlife? Why did you bring me back? And why am I in this body? It's not mine"
[DUH, OF COURSE IT'S NOT YOURS]
YiChen blinked as the system said. This system was certainly not... Formal.
[SO WE'RE GOING TO GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT SINCE IT'S TIRING. LISTEN BECAUSE I WON'T BE REPEATING MYSELF]
THE VOICE, WHICH WAS A MALE, NARRATED:
"So you're dead. But the Heavens really wanted to be nice and give you a second chance at life. And perhaps learn some lessons or whatever. They gave you this"
YiChen could picture the system rolling his eyes with a "blah blah blah" as it spoke those words.
THE VOICE CONTINUED:
"This is like a second chance at life. But this time, they were nice enough to give you a different body. But with the same memory, identify and stuff. You'll figure it out as you go on how. But now you're back. And you have a Mission To take On"
"If you Successfully accomplish this mission. You'll continue living happily with your new body and Life. But if you don't. You know what will happen to you?"
YiChen blinked while shaking his head "No..."
"You die forever and go to hell" The voice said plainly.
