In one segment of the biography, an occupation 'Demonic Executioner' was written.
"Whoops." Hesitated, Toddiyan leaned forward, putting one of his hands on the back of his head again. "I might have forgotten my name. Although I really don't want to go back to my old job and—OH LOOK! THERE IS LORD BAAL LYING DOWN IN THE SKY WITH A HOT DOG ON HIS HAND!"
The lanky man pointed to the corrupted blue sky, together with an exaggerated expression.
Intrigued by the stupid description, the women looked up. "Where? You certainly do know that there is no way in hellfire that Baal is in the sky and—DON'T YOU RUN AWAY FROM YOUR JOB!"
Toddiyan rushed out of the alley as fast he could, after a few turns in the confusing maze, he was stopped by the barrier that separated the outside world and this space.
"Ahahah, so she is a Soul Infusion Cultivator, didn't know that they have someone this strong."
Not long after, a flurry of scimitars were piercing numerous parts of his body. Every edge of those blades had a toxin inside. Not even a minute later, Toddiyan took his last breath with a reluctant smile.
"I'm sorry, Executioner Toddiyan, contract is a contract and if you're that unwilling to follow the rule, then might as well rest and wait for your cycle of life in the next life."
The blood from the corpse swooned over the cold and harsh ground. Despite the amount of sunlight, it only paves the way for those who were still alive. His soul was brought to the river and then he went as the ferryman accompanied him together with other lonely souls.
He was officially dead, the body was nothing more than a carcass of a pitiful man. His background didn't matter to him anymore, neither did his inability to stay alive while trying to stay away from sinful deeds.
If only people were more reunited, maybe they could exterminate the Calamities, maybe reclaiming the whole Neamh would not be such a dream.
As the deed was done by the dirt and ravens, his body would be found within an hour of day if someone luckily stumbled upon it within this cold alley in the morning.
That's what was supposed to happen.
A blue entity made out of digits, a holographic being that couldn't be seen with naked eyes. With numerous tendrils, the entity plucked the scimitars one by one and threw it aside near the wall of the alley.
This entity brought a soul from a different time in the old nodes of the reincarnation cycle. Meaning, this soul was snatched away from its true fate in a possibly different world or from the past.
After examining the body, the digital entity sprawled it's consciousness strings and began to tamper and fix the body to its molecules. Going through the nucleus and eventually reconstructing the body to be ready if a foreign soul was infused with it.
The soul was chucked into the mortal vessel. A single strain of 'system essence' followed after and latched onto the unknown soul like a penetrating glue.
Without elaborating anything, the holographic entity left the scene and possibly into another whole different plane.
Two hours had passed, and the former body of Toddiyan slept comfortably until he opened his eyes. His gaze was upon the cold ground. Confused, his mind raced with the fear of unfamiliarity. He wouldn't even dare to stand up and examine the surroundings before decrypting the vague memory within his soul.
"Where am I? I thought the police caught up to me and shot me in the chest…"
Right in front of his left pupil, an ominous purple digital screen appeared.

[ Database Instalment has been Completed ]
[ Welcome to Neamh — Robert Holmes ]
"... Neamh?"
[ You've been granted a 'System'! A transcendence tool that can guide, reward, help, and strike a deal with a lucky individual such as you_!
The man stood up, he noticed that his body felt different. His clothing was tattered. Trying to find the cause of the sudden vessel change, he scanned the surrounding with panic in confusion. Albet, his mind had been trained to adapt and to be wary all the time.
Not only that he felt a surging power inside, but he was able to decipher the unknown knowledge that came from a miniature world inside him, instantly giving him the knowledge and muscle memory about all of the techniques and spells that the former owner of the body had cultivated in the form of 'Technique Core'.
Although he felt all of those, he couldn't really grasp and even perceive those energies or even go to his miniature realm. His soul hadn't been trained for it and it certainly affected his understanding just the moment he got transmigrated.
"Okay, Robert, calm down." He took a hefty breath before hurling it down. "I don't know what in the god-damned-hell is happening, doesn't mean I need to scream and sissied the fuck out of this situation."
There were several scimitars in the side of the alley, he picked two of them in case something threatening happened, in which he could just yank the hell out of those threats.
His mind calmed down a little the moment he got some weapons in hand, then the purple screen on his left eye began to shift its content.
[ The 'Danger System' will give you a reward for each report and findings you acquired visibly and audibly. Don't be overwhelmed by your task, Mr. Robert Holmes, as every report will be done automatically within your subconsciousness_
[ When encountering a hazardous situation, encouragement and suggestions will be given in the form of 'Missions' to the designated situation. The 'Danger System' will be giving you the most optimal results together with the 'Target' to accomplish to negate the life threatening event. Hence, the name of this service_
"What in the bloody hell is this…?"
[ Aside from the rewardful missions—with every fruitful report, you will be given an exclusive object that only you, Mr. Robert Holmes, can use. The Danger System will provide you with a 'Rebate Token' according to the worth of the accumulated points of your knowledge of the world_
"This acid trip had started to become funny to me, so ridiculous yet so believable."
[ Each 'Rebate Token' can be sacrificed to manipulate any kind of probability in your favor due to a certain extent. Every result of action depending on your goal has its own chance to succeed. With the use of 'Rebate Token', you can lessen the percentage of failure of the said probability_!
Robert memorized everything. At the same time, he tried to find a way out of this maze of alleyways.
After rushing out without any navigation, his eyes were greeted with a crowded civilization of the foreign world. It felt like he had been transported into a fantasy world. There were people with horns and antlers, small halfling with rat ears and even other creatures that shouldn't exist.
He subconsciously smiled at the absurdity of this world.
"My god, what in the hell that I've gone into..?"
[ Your fate is in your hand, Mr. Robert Holmes, don't waste this chance of your life ]
