unpredicted start part 2 (chapter 2

The day had gone quiet to quite like a wind passed by tree

Rudra wandered through the stone paths of Mount Hua's outer sect, the cold wind brushing against his skin. He should have been resting, but how could he? His mind was a tangled storm, replaying the horror of his death again and again-the feeling of his head being torn from his body, the agony, the helplessness. Even now, his throat felt phantom pain.

"It wasn't a dream. I died".

His fingers curled into fists. He was alive, but the truth remained unchanged the massacre was coming even now

A voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Rudra?"

He turned to see a man approaching-Zai, a one-eyed servant, a familiar face from his past. The man had always been loud but kind, one of the few who didn't look down on Rudra.

"What are you doing out this late?" Zai asked, his voice laced with concern. "If the head servant catches you, you'll be punished handsomely"

Rudra forced a smile, his mind still lost in thought. "The head servant isn't here, is he? So what's the worst that could happen?"

Zai chuckled, shaking his head. "You've got guts for a servant."

They spoke idly, but Rudra's heart wasn't in the conversation. Then, a realization struck him like a bolt of lightning.

Zai...the one who was standing in front of him was about to die

A memory surfaced in his mind fifteen years ago, a second-class disciple lost control because of the unknown reason and went on a rampage, slaughtering over a hundreds of people...as for that time No one strong enough to stop him had been present their at that time The masters and senior disciples had left on a mission, leaving only the weak behind for sacrifice

His breath caught in his throat. It was today

That night how can I forget about that thing

The crimson night of the rampage

No... no, no... this can't be happening not now

Trying to stay calm, he turned to Zai in hurry

"Where are the masters and senior disciples?"

Zai frowned at his sudden urgency. "They just left an hour ago. Why-"

CRACK.

A sound came from the back

A deafening crash resonated through the courtyard. The air started to feel heavy with an unnatural pressure, sending a chill down to Rudra's spine as he moved his gaze perfectly were the sound came from and with a ting

A translucent screen flickered into existence before his eyes.

[Quest Received]

[Objective: Kill the second-class disciple on your own ]

[Reward: 1 Additional Life, Unlocking New System Features]

[Penalty for Failure: Death]

Why the fuck it's saying i need to kill that thing and what with this idiotic screen saying their is a Penalty for Failure and its a .... Death

His blood turned to ice in a instant

And within few seconds The ground trembled, and then-

BOOM!

A wooden door exploded off its hinges, flying across the courtyard like a deadly projectile. Zai barely had time to react before it struck a man standing nearby, sending him crashing into a wall, blood spurting from his mouth.

A low, guttural growl filled the air.

Rudra's turned his gaze towards the doorless room his breath hitched and a boy standing still growling , eyes black as the moon less night on his face he had few red lines pulsing like a living creature under his skin

As the figure emerged from the shadows-his robes were torn, his hands twitching

uncontrollably, his face twisted in mindless rage. His eyes, once they had kindness filled in them , now glowed with an haunting crimson light like a blood

Rudra knew this man. In his past life, he had been one of the sect's rising talents with But not right now , he was just mindless beast thrusty for bood

The disciple moved in an instant like a air and a sound of

Slash came

rudra moved his gaze towards the sound

Blood sprayed into the air like a rain

Rudra froze in the middle of the screams warm liquid splattered across his face. He slowly raised a trembling hand, touching his cheek.

"Bloo...d "

Just with a one word His gaze followed the crimson trail-Zai

stood motionless, eyes wide in shock, his throat torn open.

The disciple wasn't just killing. He was drinking the blood from the body

Rudra watched, frozen in horror, as the rampaging disciple bit into the flesh of another servant, his teeth tearing through skin and muscle. The sound-the wet crunch-made his stomach twist.

He's was faster than rudra could follow him with his eyes .

There was no time for rudra to think

Rudra took a slow step back, then another. Run. He needed to carefully moved his step deliberately suddenly he couldn't move his steps back as he turned to look at the back

He hit a big wall

Shit-!

The disciple's gaze snapped toward him in an instant

For a moment, there was nothing but silence.

Then, he moved.

Rudra barely had time to react before the crazed disciple lunged, his blade gleaming in the moonlight. Too fast. Too strong.

Rudra turned run to the opposite side of the wall but at the corner of the wall there was a blade lay abandoned on the ground.

Senior Sister Liu's blade.

He dove for it-

But he felt a sudden stinking pain

For a moment, he was weightless. His vision tilted. He saw a body still standing forward-without a head.

What is this ....Aaa i feel a pain...

But who's back is that His eyes blured

[You have died.]

[Remaining Lives: 0]

In the next second Everything was dark not a single thing visible only a floting screen was shining in that darkness

He could still think, but he felt nothing. No body. No senses. Just... existence slowly he opened his eyes

A floating screen materialized before him.

[Time Regression Available]

Without giving him time to think

[ 1 .Rewind point: On the day of crazy rampage ]

[Accept? Y/N]

[ 2 Rewind Point: 1 Month Before Today ]

[Accept? Y/N]

Rudra's mind raced.

One month?

I can go one month back in past again he was still thinking even when he had his decision ready and suddenly He noticed a timer on the corner of the screen flicking with each passing second

00:09... 00:08...

At that time he felt a need of urgency looking at the passing timer thoughts crawled into him if i didn't choose, would i disappear forever of will it choose anything ?

With gritted his teeth hardly he willed the screen to select [Yes] on

[ 2 Rewind Point: 1 Month Before Today ]

Thinking he would have time for preparing a little bit of strength he could gain from somewhere and with a sudden ting

Light exploded around him making him blind for a movement

[System Processing...]

1%... 5%... 25% 73%...

100%...

GASP!

Rudra shot up from his bed, drenched in sweat, what ..... I did I came back to life his chest rising and falling in ragged breaths

His hands instinctively went to his neck -intact. He was alive.

But something was different. The sensation of time moving was still fresh, his mind disoriented. Then, it hit him.

It worked fine as a day

He wasn't fifteen years back. He was one month before the rampage now

A new type of fear crept into his heart.

So... this system doesn't just regress me fully. It can rewind to certain key points of my life

His thoughts were interrupted as a familiar screen appeared.

Ting !!

[Status Window]

Strength: Low

Agility: Low

Senses: Low

Regeneration: low

Skills: None

Experience Points: 5

Remaining Lives: 0

For the first time since he came back a , cold sweat trickled down his back

Before this screen was saying

[ Remaining Lives: 1 ] he took a pause and continued to talk to himself as an idiot

Now it's [ Remaining Lives: 0 ]

So basically I was able to came back to life because of this floting thing before me i knew that part but this thing i didn't pay any attention to it

This means... if I die again, I will die for real this time and suddenly many thoughts surged through him and , A shiver ran through him. He stared at the system for a while and , his mind churning. And there were one thought that over shadows all

"There had to be a way to increase this things and a second thought related to it was a simple three alphabet word " how "

But it hold much more meaning to it ,

if he can know the answer of that simple question his life would take a unbelievable turn what will be it will it be a dengerous one or a safe one he will eventually know upon knowing the answer of that question after he warped his thoughts Tentatively, he touched the screen. His fingers hovered over Strength, Agility, Senses, but the screen didn't react until Then, he tapped Experience Points.

The screen shifted.

[Allocate Experience Points]

Distribute points to upgrade attributes.

For the first time, the system explained something in detail even it was a simple thing it did

Without hesitation, he made his choices.

[You have allocated:

[2 experience Points to Senses]

[ 1experience Point to Strength]

[2 experience Points to Agility]

[Remaining Experience Points: 0]

A shudder passed through him like a wind His felt a slit bit of increase in strength and his senses had sharpened sences are like a another lifeline to me rudra muttered to himself now he could hear the faint footsteps outside his room and another changes in His body was his body had become lighter, faster then before even if it was little it had changed

"I feel it the increase in my strength and the lightness in my body and this sharpened senses of mine .....on the other thoughts this is not much but it I had tried to increase it through the real world experience that it would have taken me months of hardwork to Begin with i wasn't the talented one if i measure myself i would be the last one of the foodchain of talent "

He clenched his fists. This time, he wasn't completely powerless a little bit of strong from his past self he was strong

One month. That was all he had before the rampage of the second class disciple.

This time, he wouldn't die like a bug.

This time, he would fight for his life not like a helpless bug but as a bug that clinking to his life
