Kapitel 3: Chapter 3 Not in Kansas Anymore (2 in 1)
I woke up, a cold sweat covering my body, honestly I'm glad it was just a dream that's the only explanation really no pearly gates or hellish ones for that matter,so its safe to assume I didn't get fired, and best of all its I'm still alive. getting out of bed is strange it feels cold, wet and... viscous? I've had wet dreams before but this is absurd, as my hand sinks down trying to find purchase slipping through something i feel something cold and stiff its an awful lot like a hand. the surreal nature of the sensation shakes me awake i open my eyes and find myself in the middle of a mass grave people are dressed like the peasants of a medieval village all in varying stages of decomposition the haven't been dead for very long it seems its cold, probably winter otherwise crows and vultures would be circling overhead, the corpse pile would be warm instead of cold and the stench would have woken me up immediately. my body feels raw battered and in pain like ten thousand needles are embedded in my flesh normally i would assume the pain to be hypothermia , but seeing the corpses with expressions frozen in anguish , broken bodies , and flayed skin and examining my own body its clear that the pain is of another source. my body was a mess a crisscross of scar tissue and burn marks covered my skin, and other signs of prolong torture. stumbling over bodies in a haphazard manner I exited the pit.
Outside of the pit I started dry heaving, as a person from a modern civilized society, waking up in a mass grave had a major impact on me but not so much so that I was unable to hear that familiar voice in my head. Indifferent, lukewarm, and seething with contempt.

all of a sudden I felt strangely clear headed, I no longer felt a sense of denial and came to terms with the fact that this was real, as strange as this may be it was still real, I also came to terms with the fact that I had likely developed some weird form of schizophrenia waking up in a pile of dead bodies with a voice in your head is never I good sign, who knows maybe I blacked out then tortured and killed a villages worth of extras that seems unlike me but this is a strange discomforting situation where anything seems possible.
"I'm not a just voice in your head Dave"
would you just shut up for a minute
"I'm afraid I cant do that Dave"
you know what SURRRLY, fuck you, I've had it with the space odyssey references, and I don't need your shit right now
"this is for your own good Dave"

"wait a minute, what...." and with that everything went black before a flood of information flooded in i began to live the life of Alexander no to be more correct I BECAME Alexander I experienced every moment of his life his childhood, the girl that was clearly into him that he was to dense to notice and the agony of his death if not for the last part he probably would have been a run of the mill protagonist in some shonen story like offense on titan, soap, two pieces, or narutoad. after everything was over he left me with his dying wish and his last desire " I don't know who you are or how you came to be I don't care if you are the devil him self but I want one thing from you and will give you my everything in exchange please... KILL THE HEALER" the last words were something between a howl and a bellow seeped in madness, anger, and grief. They were the final words of that naive forgettable and somehow endearing character. I felt touched in a way and panicked in another while he may have been an endearing person I still need to cope with the fact that a vengeful spirit just hijacked the AI in my head.
I began to speak internally "you have some explaining to do"
ding! the AI known as surly has be re purposed into the system
"that sounds easier to handle than the previous version"
ding! I'm just fucking with you Daaaaaaave!
"GODDAMMIT SURLY explain"
the system has determined that the user has been transported to another world
"that's obvious and I just replaced the fucking protagonist, in what seems to be a run of the mill dark fantasy, so what now, do you at least have an understanding of the power system"
the system has managed to do a preliminary analysis of the planar laws by convening with the world consciousness apparently your circumstances are not unheard of...
the system has also determined that you have a limited lifespan do to an experimental necromantic reconstruction...
"that sounds... swell is there any way to extend my lifespan"
the system has three methods two of which are temporary but achievable the first is killing beasts and absorbing soul energy the second is by killing healers, appeasing the spirits resentment as well as the world will. the third and final method is by fulfilling the final will of the spirit thus granting you true life.
"and how do I achieve that I have no weapons and no real combat experience , hell I've never been in a real fight"
the system can compensate for the users insufficiency by directly injecting knowledge into the users subconscious, stimulating muscle memory, and utilizing skills pulled from the world consciousness, has negotiated for a welcome package and the host is to receive the following: 1 discipline, 2 sub classes, 2,500 essence, 1 set of basic knowledge primers, and a total attribute pool of up to fifty that can be determined by the user.
"could I use the welcome package"
the system would like to know the magic word
"please"
the system does not believe the host is sincere enough
"pretty please"
the system is appalled by the host's insinceri-
"WITH SPRINKLES"
opening welcome package...
please select a discipline from among the following
warrior- practitioners of martial arts and body tempering, incredibly durable and a physical powerhouse some classes and cultivation tactics incorporate magic and martial arts, warriors often specialize in a single weapon
magician- often used as rearguard fighters magicians often serve as a glass cannon while individually powerful the magician suffers in one on one confrontation while not defenseless the magician is specialized in lay waste to swaths of weaker combatants and obliterating stronger ones from a distance.
rouge- the bastard's discipline while a rouge is not as imposing as a warrior, nor do they wield the potent spells of a mage the rouge is a path of guile and subterfuge they often wield magic tools in place of spells and powerful focused attacks on their target often killing in one hit, and retreating if that fails.
"rouge" after all medical personnel would be a strategic resource and the person I need to kill is obviously influential enough to annihilate a village without anyone batting an eye.
"can I see the sub classes" looking through the sub classes I had a wealth of options after consulting the system and the knowledge primers I was able to pin down one subclass the blood rouge, this class specialized in a minor branch of hemomancy its a support class with an enchanting and an extraction ability for blood runes. blood rouges can brew potions and baptize objects with bloodline abilities to create an incredibly unpredictable combatant unless you know their hunting roster this allows them access to all of the magic that any beast possesses there is one downside though a blood rouge must kill the beast and do so personally in the wild beasts in captivity often have their innate abilities crippled, and the class is so unorthodox that most people shun it and there is no service for captive beasts with unsuppressed abilities. in fact it wouldn't be wrong to say that the class has fallen out of favor due to its high risk, moderate return, and difficulty of cultivation due to the often distances between complementary species as complementary species often compete to dominate a certain role in any given ecosystem. the spoilage of blood potions is also a common problem thankfully the system has been given an inventory with a time frozen space so that issue is avoided.
"do you have nothing for guns"
the system does not have a firearm focused class
"can you make one, plenty of military and fictional martial arts have gun play in them and according to the power level of this world nobody can dodge bullets easily and even then magic can be used to increase the bullets velocity"
please wait the system is analyzing viability and has determined the following
weapons can be fabricated using the system
certain common ecology makes hot weapons theoretically possible
system can generate smokeless powder with essence
system has determined guns to be possible viable magic weapons
enough data exists in previous world films and martial arts
certain weapon and movement techniques can be incorporated from this world
the system determines that this class has an 87.528% chance of being accepted by world laws
the system can create entry level mastery for gun martial arts
seeking approval
ding!
Approval gained
generating class
ding! a new class "Acrobatic gunslinger" has been created
Acrobatic gunslinger (growth type, incomplete)
A class created with guns in mind using the mobile firepower, recoil, speed of attack, and the nature of bullets this class incorporates martial arts acrobatics, and enchantment to create a fighter that focuses on mobility and attack at close to mid range.
