I Have A System?!?!
After an hour or so more of walking, Blake still didn't see any kind of fruit or water source.
While walking around for plenty of hours, Blake noticed that although the forest is huge, there isn't any kind of sound except for the wind that is swaying the leaves.
'Ugh, Why is this forest so quiet, it's like there isn't any kind of animal living in it.' thought Blake.
'I just hope there aren't any kind of predators here such as tigers or I won't even have the chance to fight back.'
'Now that I think about it, are tigers delicious? Do they taste like chicken perhaps?'
'Maybe not, I think they just taste like meat, high-class meat maybe?'
*Growl!*
Hearing the sound of his stomach grumbling, he can't help but regret thinking about all that good.
'Man, thinking about all that food caused my stomach to sound like I didn't get the chance to eat anything for days.'
'I better start searching fast for anything that can relieve my hunger, or It might get dark without me knowing anything.' he thought while looking at the huge trees blocking the sunlight, only letting a light, bright enough for him to see his path.
Just as Blake was about to continue searching for food, He suddenly heard a sound that consisted go somewhere between a girl's and a boy's voice and a little metallic.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations For being recognized by the System, You can access the System by mentally saying 'System']
He was so shocked by the sudden voice in a quiet forest, that he didn't get the chance to control his voice and yelled without thinking of the consequences of attracting any kind of predator.
'WHAT THE HELL!?!?'
'WHO THE HELL JUST SPOKE?!?!'
He quickly tried to find where that sudden voice came from, he looked to his right, to his left, to his back, above him, and lastly below him. Seeing that he can't find the one who just spoke, he just said in a voice that can be heard around him:
"Can I p-please know who just said that?"
[The one who had spoken was me, the 'System']
'A GHOST!? huh? A system? What's that?' he thought while question marks appeared above his head.
After thinking for a couple of seconds, I suddenly remembered something...
'A SYSTEM?! Like those things that protagonist gets!?'
Though I was a little happy my face suddenly hit rock bottom as I remembered...
'Wait, am I like those protagonists that will have a System but will attract a ton of problems?!'
'It isn't like those, right?'
'AH! this is making my head hurt! I should calm down.'
After calming down a few minutes later, Blake decided to check the System if it knows how he suddenly woke up in the middle of the grassland while being surrounded by massive trees in the middle of nowhere.
'System' thought Blake.
[Ding!]

*whistle!*
Seeing this I can't help but think that this is to cliche. Waking up somewhere unknown, with a strange glow on my ring and now a System.
'So this is my status, huh?
'Hm? So this is the legendary System that the protagonist gets in the novels? I got a System so does this means I am a character in a novel?'
But he suddenly denied it as he thought:
'Nah, who am I kidding there's no way that this is a novel, even if it's a novel it's not like I have the power to control my life anyway. I might just be a background character or a pawn in a chess game called plot.'
After all, why would a nobody like him be picked as a protagonist? To help people and beat evil people with the power of friendship or something? No, his non-existent pride won't allow him to keep helping people, quite the opposite, he wants to be the one who will be helped by others.
But by thinking that there is a small chance that he can be a protagonist of some novel, he can't help but think:
'Still, if my life is a novel, all of those years that I have experienced suffering in my life will just be a product of someone's imagination. If only I have the power even if it's just a little something that will make my life better even by a little.' As he said that, he clenched his hands until blood can be seen.
Just as Blake thought of gaining power, he heard the sound of the system:
[Ding!]
[Due to the host's desire for power, You were given a skill called: 'Soul Devourer' to boost your growth skill.]
As Blake received this, he decided to check what 'Soul Eater' meant and also how it can give power to him.
[Soul Eater]
[-By using this skill you can eat the souls of beings you have defeated, The stronger the soul the better the boosts of the stats you'll receive. The greater the host will be, the greater the Free Stat Points you'll receive from the System.]
As Blake read the message from the System, he was surprised at how useful this skill will be if he wanted to get stronger. he imagined eating souls on a throne in a mountain of corpses of different monsters and beings beneath him.
'Oh? looks like the System can help me acquire power.'
*A Few Moments Later*
Upon deciding to control his destiny using this skill, He suddenly felt the urge to devour different beings and grow stronger, To stand above all while he thought:
'He-He, I need to find a different animal to test how much stats I could gain from eating their souls so I can understand this skill better.'
This Day, the demon that will be known as the 'COLD BLOODED LORD OF TYRANY' suddenly felt the need to grow stronger. Today will mark the day that 'He' started his journey of Chaos and Indifference toward those he will consider lesser beings.
