ANGEL FROM HELL
"To be honest, I don't want to do this to you. I don't want to see you suffer. It makes my heart aches. You're my best friend. A very good friend. You know everything about me, about us. You know how hard I tried to pursue him. You know very well that he is the man I want. The man that's going to be the father of my children. The man I dreamed for a long time. But because of this Goddamn face he left me. I was thrown away. All the sacrifices I did are now wasted. All the effort I made to make him stay. I almost had everything. EVERYTHING. The money, a comfortable life, jewelry,cars and him. BUT YOU, YOU SLUT. You took him away. You took my world, my life. You took away my everything. How would you like to compensate me? With your beautiful face? With your body? Or with your life? Hahaha Oh yes! I forgot. I already did hahahahahaha"
An eerie laugh echoed in the whole building. With a woman who's holding a knife filled with blood dripping. Her face is like of a demon from hell. Bloodlust can be seen in her golden orb.
As she was laughing, a body laying in a cold floor, trying to stay alive. He's body is totally numb. Even lifting a finger is impossible. The cuts all over his body are deep and fatal.
"Everyone thinks you're an angel. An angel sent from hell. Truly loving, caring and kind. I was even deceived by that characteristics of yours. I was impressed, truly impressed. I can give you an Oscar award for that. You can be a good actor, you know. Dancing, grinding your butt above those stinky old men. Moaning like a prostitute like you always are. I wonder how many men have shove their dick inside that slutty hole of yours? I bet you can even take 5-6 right? Or maybe more since you're a promiscuous angel. Hahahaha"
Seeing her now, everyone might think she's crazy. Infact she is,she already lost her sane the moment the man she loved the most abandoned her. All her sanity left her body. It's as if her world collapse without a warning. All she can think now is to kill the source of her heartache. To die in the most painful way. More painful than she felt. More miserable than she is.
She played the tip of the knife on her finger trying to feel the pain until it started to bleed but she didn't care. There's no more painful feeling in this world than being left all alone and being betrayed by her one and only trusted best friend. No one can cure her broken soul.
"Since you going to die, why don't you smile at me for the last time? Like you always did. Put a smile on me come on, come on. Give me that smile that took his breathe away. Go on. GIVE IT"
She loses control of herself and started to stab the body a multiple times. Some blood splatter on her face. But instead of being disgusted she smile devilishly. She lick the blood on her finger making her smirk with her eyes full of wrath.
"Even your blood taste sweet, undeniable sweet. I'm getting addicted to it"
For the last time, she stab the heart of her best friend. Making sure that he is dead and will be rotting down to where he belongs.
.....
*Beep*beep*
He open his eyes because of the noise he heard and found out that he wasn't in the abandoned building anymore. It was dark. Everything around him is dark. He checked his body and was surprised. The wounds and blood are now gone. Like he didn't suffer any torture.
A sudden voice echoed into his ears. He looked around trying to find the owner of the voice.
*Ding*
"Welcome my dear host, I am Lilac, your guardian system. I will assist you all the way until you accomplish your mission"
"Who are you? Where are you? What are you talking about? Where am I?"
*Ding*
"Welcome my dear host, I am Lilac, your guardian system. I will assist you all the way until you accomplish your mission"
He keep asking and asking but the voice only answer him with the same phrase.
"What the heck is happening?"
*Ding*
"Questions that aren't related to your mission can not be answered by the system"
*Ding*
"Questions that aren't related to your mission can not be answered by the system"
"The heck with your mission. Let me out. I want to get out"
*Ring*
You have a message
*Ring*
You have a message
A screen flashed in front of him with a word '2messages' in it. It was written in a color of a blood. He then remember the pain he felt while bathing with his own sticky blood. The feeling of a knife piercing through his body still lingers deep into his bones. He felt a sudden chill.
The truth is, he was framed. He didn't really seduce his best friend's boyfriend. He didn't even saw the man in person but only in pictures. He didn't know what exactly happened. All he can remember is that he was laying in the bed naked with a man beside him.
After that he was kidnapped and sent into an abandoned building far away from the city only to found out that it was his best friend's doing, seeking for revenge.
He couldn't tell his best friend about the truth, because from the looks of her, she's gone. His long time best friend is gone. The loving and innocent face of his best friend was no longer exists. Only a demon resides her body. A demon who controls her will, a manipulator, that's why he couldn't find any reason to hate her, to blame her, to condemned her or even seek vengeance. He knows full well that she is also a victim. That she is also a pawn, a disposal. He died in his best friend's hands. The unreasonable death makes his heart full of agony, despair. And his greatest sin was he didn't have the courage to defend himself, to fight for his right. That he let her torture him. Indeed an angel from hell.
He tap the screen, then another screen flashed on his right side containing all his basic information.
*Ding*
Name: Alexander Frances
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Natal date: April 9
Address: **** Avenue

He looked confuse at the given information. His age. Something's wrong with his age.
"Hey, how come my age written here is 25? I'm only 20. Did you just skip my 5years without knowing?"
He knows that the so called Lilac system won't answer him so he just shrugged his shoulder then looked again to the screen infront of him and tap last unread message.
*Ding*
Would you like to go back to the time where everything started?
YES NO
A lot of questions comes in his mind. Who is this system? Who controls it? Why does it feels like it knows everything about him? What is the purpose of this system? What is his role to be involved in such?
He wants to know. He's eager to know. What will happened to him if he refused it. Or if he accept it.
"Hello umm Lilac? I have a question--"
*Ding*
"Questions that aren't related to your mission can not be answered by the system"
*Ding*
"Questions that aren't related to your mission can not be answered by the system"
"Let me finish first. What will happen if I accepted the mission?"
*Ding*
"You will be rewarded"
"That's it? Nothing else?"
"....."
"Okay but what if I refuse?"
*Ding*
"The punishment for refusing your mission is death. The punishment for uncompleted mission is death"
*Ding*
"The punishment for refusing to accept your mission is death. The punishment for uncompleted mission is death"
"Okay okay stop it. I already understand. I don't have any other choice, do I? I don't want to die again and I also what to know who framed me. I must know who that person is. If this system can help me solve this case then so be it. I'll accept this mission"
He tap the YES icon, within a second, a blinding bright light emits the screen making him crossed his arms to cover his eyes.
The light slowly vanished. He open his eyes and found himself standing in his room. He looked around, everything is the same. From the cabinet, study table, bed even his unwashed clothes was still there like nothing happened. Like he wasn't abducted by some unknown guys. He thought that everything must be a dream. That he wasn't fully awake. He slap his face lightly to see if he's still sleeping but the pain is real. Still he wasn't convince.
He's still in his deep thoughts when a familiar voice come out of nowhere.
*Ding*
"Dear host, I am Lilac, your guardian system at your service.
Congratulations on becoming the 69th host player. Your first mission has arrived"

"You didn't even give me a single information about that missing person. And yet even give me only a week of time. You're so cruel."
And with that his life with a system has finally started.
....
A woman far away from time was looking at the screen, watching the helpless man being disheartened. She couldn't help herself but to fell excited to what will happened next.
She grab a glass of wine beside her and drink it leisurely. When the liquor touch her red lips, a sweet smile was formed from within.
