*BANG*
The sound of gunshots ran through the streets as a crowd of onlooker watched in horror.
*BANG BANG BANG*
The crowd held their breaths, afraid to even make a sound as the sound of the shots being fired went through their ears followed by the sound of a man's screams.
They all watched the man trying to crawl away from the group of men surrounding him while the one at the center simply raised an eyebrow amused at his attempts
"Still alive huh? Let me help you with that"
*BANG*
With a final shot, the crowd watched as the bullet etched through the man's skull leaving him dead on the side pavement while the man that shot him looked at his bloodied shoes
"That bastard couldn't even die without causing a mess, disgusting"
Hearing this, a man standing close to this person looked at him and sighed;
"Who asked you to take your time killing him boss? This will be the 5th new shoes we will have to buy in this month and it's not even been a week since this month started for hell sake! "
The so called "boss" looked at the man at his side and glared;
"It's not like your using your money, it's mine so stop nagging and go buy it"
The man scoffed as he punched his "boss" playfully
"You're lucky that we've been best friends since childhood or else I would have thrashed your face by now 'Ace' "
'Ace' rolled his eyes and replied,
"You're equally lucky, if it wasn't for our friendship I would have chopped your hands off a long time ago, phoenix"
The rest of the men from their group simply shook their heads while laughing at their boss and his right hand man's regular bickerings- completely ignoring the public onlookers and the dead body on the pavement.
"Bring me the car"
'Ace' spoke to his driver and within a minute a limo came over and he got inside and left the scene.
.............................................
Inside the car;
[Host! How could you kill him?!]
'eh? I just wanted to and it's not like he wasn't going to die, I just helped him die quicker '
[......]
' oh come on bella, that man deserved to die and you know it too! '
[.....yes but you should have left that to the officials host!]
'whatever...'
[ *Sigh* loading details of the previous worlds mission status:
Showing mission status :
Prove his innocence - 100%
• bring the one who accused him to daylight -100%
• protect his brother - 0%
• improve his relationship with his brother - 100%
OVERALL MISSION STATUS: FAIL]
'.......'
[......]
'....HAH?!!!! HOW IN THE WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN?! The last time you announced the mission status, protecting Qing yu was at 98%, how the hell did it fall to zero?!!! '
[...as per the data collected after we had left it seems that the ML had been involved in an unfavorable circumstance that has affected his well being and had caused a major shift in the direction of the plot after your demise]
'.....how am I responsible for whatever happened after I left?! Give me my points back!! '
[ Don't be so angry host! Though you failed the mission you still get points for the missions you've completed which equalled to 2000pt out of 3000pt! ]
' no I'm greedy I want the full points'
[ ಠ益ಠ ]
' *sigh* so what happened when I fail a mission? '
[ Oh! Nothing much host! You will simply not have a peaceful death in the next world! ]
' ....you speak as if I've had the most wonderful moments of passing in each world, I'm afraid I don't know what peaceful death means bella, in my real world I was killed in a truck accident, in the second I was stabbed, in the third I was shot and now here I doubt it will be any better, who knows maybe I'll be blasted with a bomb this time '
[.....it's possible]
'..... Bella, go download software for 'how to console a downcast soul' it will prove to be very helpful for you to delay your imminent death by my hands'
[.......]
' before that give me the plot bella '
[ Here you go host:
This world is also another modern setting with a slight twist which is that it's going to have a lot of bloodshed- ]
' I love it already '
Ignoring her hosts obsession over drama the poor system continued;
[In this world your character is codenamed as 'Ace' as you are the boss of the international mafia gang called 'sanguis et iustitia' or 'SEI' in short, everyone in the gang has code names they go with inorder to not reveal their real identity.
The man you met earlier was codename : phoenix, childhood best friend of 'Ace' who stood by his side till the end, his right hand man and the second in command of the gang.
As-]
' stop right there, so far you're giving character information, I asked for the plot bella, I'm too lazy to learn about people '
[......] You big piece of- !!
Deep breaths bella.... Deep breaths
The poor system took a moment to collect itself back before replying in a cheerful manner
[Ofcourse host!
The story begins with our ML as usual,
He was raised in a loving family where his parents worked hard as the breadwinners while the ml went to school but everything changed one day when the ML's father was killed in a small accident at his workplace, saddened and angry about the news, his mother tried to sue the workplace for having unsafe working conditions and went through different police stations and courts along with the ML to gain justice.
But unfortunately all that would come from this was for the ML to learn how cruel the world could be as he would witness his mother getting silenced as a result of trying to sue powerful figures and ever since then he vowed to be someone who would embody justice for people like his parents.]
'oh? An ML with a justice complex, that's new'
[ Can you atleast show some sympathy host? I'm shedding imaginary tears here (( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀) ]
' you can continue doing that while explaining the remaining plot please'
[...... Well...since the ML decided that he was going to help bring justice, he decided to enroll himself into government officials positions and spent his younger years studying to pass the exams- wah he's such a good person]
'....so? Did he do it? '
[....no he failed]
'.....'
[And that too in 4 out of 5 total attempts ]
'.....'
[.....]
'....poor soul, he'll get over it' xieran showed some sympathy
[ Yeah....but he became an investigator though]
'oh...so then he passed the 5th sound?'
[.....he bribed the higher authorities]
'......'
[.....]
'..... you're ML seems to have rather contradictory words and actions'
[.....ahem! Ignoring such parts- he succeeded in joining the task force and secretly collected records of all back door activities involved within the government officials as well as collect information about his father's workplace accident, but while doing so he encountered information that stated that the company that his father had been working for was associated with the international mafia gang- sanguis et iustitia or 'SEI' sending him deeper into a spiral of unconnected dots of mysteries that he slowly unraveled. ]
'.....I'm curious, earlier when you mentioned that I will not be having a peaceful death in this world, did you perhaps mean this? '
[ What do you mean host?]
'im the boss of the gang that was affiliated in his father's death.....you sent me straight to the lions den my sweetheart '
The system who was tired of her hosts b.s, smirked devilishly from the sidelines,
[....hehe good luck host]
