In the middle of the dense forest where the sunlight peek through tall trees, a carriage was passing through on raw path. Inside the carriage were a few lifeless, maggot filled dead bodies waiting tp be discarded who knows where. The carriage seamlessly passed through from one den of corrupted to another, from one beast territory to another, from one danger to another.
After a few minutes, movement could be felt inside the carriage, slow, deliberate, as if a dead rising from its slumber, the only difference was, the body wasn't supposed to be there, more like it popped out of nowhere and in the middle of the worst place one can be, right below all the decaying dead.
A man with pristine clean skin, as if just born a few moments earlier, with raven coloured hair cascading down to the neck like half waterfall other half in filth, sky blue eyes that can shine like stars, with "handsome" face. It was Arthur. Arthur started to move out from the pile of corpse he was under. He inhaled sharply, only to choke on the rotten smell, after adjusting to the grim surrounding he finally managed to get a hold of himself. As he scanned his surrounding, the first thing he noticed was his roommates, not the dead, but the ones inside the dead.
"Really? I spawned here in bed with the dead? And all men to boot? Why not just throw me into a pit full of blood and decomposed filth" he muttered to himself.
As if the author listened his wish, the next thing he noticed the bottom of the carriage open with a click and all the corpses dumped into a rectangle shaped hole below, filled with decomposed filth, with maggots everywhere. It wasn't the end though, before he could take action, he found himself laying on the dead corpses. With a sudden wave of disgust washing oven him, figuratively, as another wave of dead bodies fell over him with more unrecognizable things. Just like any normal person, he again crawled out of filthy place, empowered by disgust and annoyance, only to slip and fall head first in the nearby wall. Cursing his luck, which is like his muscle memory by now, he stood up, thoroughly annoyed, only to be mocked,
[Good way to make your debut host]
the last string of patience broken, he started spewing curses like wildfire. After a few minutes in the process of calming down, the system suddenly chimed in,
[You should start moving host. This not the place to hang around.]
This message brought him back to the present and instead of wasting any more time he started moving, to get back to the surface, any place but this. In the middle of jogging he said, "What should I call you? Calling you system every time feels boring."
[Anything you want] the system replied as a matter-of-fact tone.
"Then how about Nux?"
[...I didn't know you were into boys]
"Hahaha...nice joke, Nux is unisex name and it refer to a poisonous plant" Arthur replied flatly without any amusement.
[It feels like an insult.]
'So it can feel too?'
[No, I was just being sarcastic]
Arthur decided not to point out on the sarcasm and changed the topic, "So you can read my mind too?"
[Only the thoughts with intent]
"Yes, with no worthless 'Ding' every time I call you and behaving like an assistant, that's much better. Anyway, let's talk business first. Are there any gifts? Like rewards given for the first time?"
[Sure, want me to open them?]
"Yes" replied Arthur with a hint of excitement. Finally something good to look forward to.
[Affirmative. Opening Gift Pack...]
