Chapter 2: The struggle after death and The Abyss blessings

Deep inside the abyss, embraced by the darkness, the torment didn’t cease for god knows how long...

All I could do is bear with the pain that I had never experienced before, it feels like my body is being burned and freezes and electrified at the same time.

The overwhelming agony I have to undergo made all my senses alert as it skinned me deep within the pitch…

For how long must I endure this? For how long will this soreness, anguish and ache keep on like this?!

For along longtime… it kept repeating over and over and over again…

At first I panicked, then I lost my will, then I begged and called for help, then I struggled to stay awake in order to not perish.

Then in the midst of all that pain… it gradually stopped… it felt like I reached the heaven graced by the divine mercy!

I could finally close an eye in the darkness and relax for a bit… I let out a sig, relieved that I am finally free from the grasp of that hellish pain that I had to endure for so long!

It feels now good! Like if I finally reached an oasis after year… no, decades of wandering and search in an endless desert under the scorching sun, the freezing night, the sand storms and the wild animals! Or something of the sort... I think?

Suddenly the voice that I have heard long ago just before the pain started…began resonating within the abyss. But this time… it spoke a lot.

{Notice, first step of the character creation, successfully completed! Initializing the second step}

{Notice, preparation for the reception of the fragment, access acquired, preparation completed}

{Notice, starting the merging process, access acquired!}

Suddenly I felt like if something new… a foreign matter or energy slowly crawling its way all over my body and soul…

     {Notice, merging completed! Starting the inheritance festival}

        {Notice, proceeding with the inheritance of the abyss granted to the new host}

       {Notice, preparing the host for the additional gifts granted by the abyss}

That is when I felt a numb and a tickling feeling in different parts of my body, the sensation of something new, like if my potential has grown in a way or another.

The messages didn’t stop at that only and continued

       {Notice, Skills will be granted to the host of the abyss, beginning the Pandora system first function}

      {Notice, skill [Evil Eyes] successfully acquired}

      {Notice, Skill [Magic Mastery] [Mana Mastery] successfully acquired}

     {Notice, Skill [Sorcery] [Witchcraft] [Enchantment] [Totem Magic] [Puppet Mastery] successfully acquired}

     {Notice, Skill [Dark Magic] [Abyss Magic] [Time arc Magic] [Necromancy] [Space Magic] successfully acquired}

     {Notice, Additional features shall be granted to the host}

      {Notice, all gifts are granted as per the host initial wish}

My wishes? When did I ever wish to feel pain? I never asked for such a thing... wait I asked for a few things actually... that’s when I started saying what I want to do in my life.

I wished to know and understand all things for example, did my wish affect these”gifts”?

But how did it end up giving me Magical abilities?! I don’t quite understand the truth behind all of this but I can clearly say that I got nice abilities like if I am a game character

Well I used to pass my weekend after I became a lawyer playing Role Play games, farming trading experiencing battle tactics and soon that’s something I am quite familiar with! Of course I am a wizard team member! One of those whom only focus on magic attacks and spell casting! After all it’s because you can’t do that in real life... moreover since when the after life is like this?!

Why in the world the afterlife grants skills or something like if you were in a game? The hell is happening? I demand an explanation!

{Notice, Tutorial and introduction phase has been granted successfully to the host}

Suddenly a wave of information and knowledge flooded my mind like a torrent of river in its flood season!

Abyss, Ancient civilisation, Harold of the Abyss, Skills, Towers, Sanctuaries, Temples, inheritance , Forgotten era, Curse, Gods and angels, Spirits and fairies, Demons and Devils, the races, the human struggle, the end of the world, the Harold duties.

What in the universe is this?! I don’t know where to start, but I am sure of at least one thing... that world is doomed! Everything in that world is doomed! And everything in that world led to that fate! From corruption and evil t foolishness and bad decisions to provocation and threats to the world being let to doom!

The hell... they provoked the end of that universe! There is no mistake in it!

But there is a way to stop it Hein? The power of the Harold of the abyss and his/her duties!

So right now... the abyss wants me in short to save that world and stop it doom?!

With powers granted from the abyss their role is to bring balance making use of the laws of nature and magic to save the world from doom and complete eradication

 And that Harold is me?!

Hey! Listen here you abyss thingy! I didn’t sign any contract nor did I agree to this! Who in heaven gave you the right to make me your prophet or something! I just want a calm and peaceful life!

{Notice, the host became the new Harold upon wishing in the abyss, take responsibility for your actions do you want something for nothing?}

You sly entity... hitting hard where it hurts is no fair! Tut! To think the entity would make use of my despair for its own good... am I now obliged to save that soon to be doomed universe? Hey... isn’t that something a god should do!

{Notice, that world is neglected by the high gods of this universe, only a low ranking goddess remains in that world, your job is to stop that universe from falling to complete nothingness by performing the quests given to you by the Abyss trough the Pandora system}

Oh! Like a RPG right? But at the very least make a rich girl with power in society! That world is built on hierarchy right? So if I need political power I would have that family support me right? At the very least I would consider that as a blessing! Please?

{Notice, the host will be given the best chance for the mission, your request have been agreed upon by the Abyss. High ranking noble aristocrat descendant, target located! Reincarnation as the newborn young lady of the Duke House of Evanson, perfect compatibility, initializing the reincarnation process}

Suddenly within the dark abyss I started disintegrating... I started panicking not because of the sight of my limbs and body vanishing like a soap bubble.

No the thing that made me lose my composure was the mention of that name!”Evanson” that ringed perfectly with my en of Déjà vue!

That name... the map of that world... the clues that have been given y the Abyss and the Pandora system... everything resonated perfectly with a Role play game I used to enjoy every evening...

Don’t tell me the so called blessing of the Abyss is to reincarnate me as her?! No, that cannot be! I demand damage and interest right now! This whole thing is a fraud!

I suddenly opened my eyes and the first thing I said upon waking up is

<Abyss, you sly trickster and cunning fraud>
