In a dark, musky room with only broken chairs and a large oak desk was an equally large man sitting behind it. A subtle knocking at a dilapidated door was heard. A grunt of acknowledgement was made by the gorilla of a man, the door swung open with a heavy creak and a light smell of rot wafting in. A thin and clearly malnourished, scarred man stepped in. Boss, we caught the fire witch. The chair under the man creaked as he stood up. Bring me there, I've been itching to torture that bitch. They traveled through a labyrinth of corridors until they finally stopped in front of a steel door. Nodding at the man standing guard, the skinny man stepped toward the door, reaching for the handle. When a heavy hand fell on his shoulder, Simon, grumbled the large man, Give me your gun. Confusion ran across Simon's face. Seeing this, the man stated, Never judge an awakened like us, humans. Complying, Simon handed him his gun. Nodding towards boss, Simon reached for the door. Click...swoosh
Celia Pov
With the click of the door knob, I shot forward with the flame blade in hand and a ball of fire gathering in the other. The door swung open, showing three men. An all familiar figure becomes clear behind the first two men. Filled with rage, I mutter Ziddon. In an instant, I'm within arms reach of the leading man. I thrust my blade into his jugular, simultaneously cauterizing it without dropping a drop of blood. I launch the fireball straight at Ziddon's chest with no hesitation. Ziddon, with a smirk on his lips, pulls the other man to his left in front of him. POP!! The fireball met the man's chest violently, exploding with great force and heat. As his charred body drops, I see Ziddon raising a pistol of some sort. I quickly throw with precision my flame blade, it flies straight at his forehead while I drop to the floor, hoping he misses. When Suddenly-

Confusion filled her being, not sadness, not anger, just coldness and unanswered questions. Silence...rumble...Rumble...RUMBLE What in th-Oooh, hello there darling~ Interrupted the being of colors, so many colors, some colors Celia didn't even know what color they were or if they are colors. The being of colors, clearly sensing her confusion, introduced herself, mortal my name is Semonia, goddess of sorrow, and Arch Goddess of Death. As for you, little one, you are surely the most unlucky but talented mortal I've ever gazed. I wish for you to be my apostle, and if you accept, I promise you great power! Celia was even more confused than ever before. Sure, she was given answers, but now she had so many more! Semonia giggled when seeing Celia's thoughts. Mortal I sense your confusion, but I'm no goddess of time. I must revive you soon, and I'll leave you with a gift of six things. First, my mark. After saying this, three dots the same colors as Semonia flew out of her into my chest.

You are being watched by-
Goddess of death and sorrow
Then she continued, As you are starting anew, I shall grant you a name, Celaeno, Celaeno Solace. As for the other four, I'm giving you a choice,four choices, to be exact. You may choose up to 10 things under the system's influence to combine for each choice, and remember, child. With great power comes gre-great responsibility, I interrupt. Haha~ no, child She continued, With great power comes great retribution. After all, some gods are salty when mortals rise to power, especially when under other gods.
~Now go, bring salvation with death and purity with your flame.
Wait! Celia yelled, How did I die? Semonia, taken aback by being interrupted again, responded, Well, the human you killed after the assimilation got a shot off with his gun, and it ricocheted into the gas pipe in the room, sending you and four city blocks around into a fiery inferno of death. You are a very unlucky lady, you know~. I'm so lost, muttered Celia. Anyway, off you go, you brat I'm a busy person after all! Then Celia felt a tug that turned into a yank she felt as if she was moving a thousand miles an hour.

Warmth enveloped Celia with that last message, Warmth and a feeling of sogginess, like she was put in some sort of thick mucus. Her body felt disconnected from "her." Nothing felt the same her skin felt tighter and more fragile, she could feel objects in her skin feeling part of her, her heart was beating in the wrong place, her eyes seemed farther apart. Her mouth was replaced by an inexplicable feeling of hardness and numbness, similarly to finger nails yet so different. Her body felt confused, like her brain was lost in ways to control it. After some time trying to figure out her body, a familiar sound rung in her head-

States determine your power and your ability to control those powers. The mana state is multiplied by 10 to determine how much mana your body holds. Intelligence is your ability to comprehend things. Willpower is your resistance to tiredness and your control of energies. Intelligence and willpower are both split into one half and then added together to create your mana recovery. Vitality governs the health of the body and is multiplied by 10 for your health. Dexterity is your reaction speed and control over muscles. Strength is how much power you can put behind movements. Stamina is determined by combining 1/3 of both strength and dexterity, then multiplied by 10. Recovery is similar but not multiplied. Status is the system's evaluation of your current predicament. Achievements and titles are self explanatory and are both gained by certain criteria. Quests are missions issued by the system to make you into the ultimate warrior, skills are skills, equipment are items recognized by the system. And experience is gained either through understanding or life essence from other beings, Your class was assigned to you because of your past experiences, and you can choose a subclass that is related to your main class. If you have any questions about anything else, just focus on it, and the system will respond.
Celia was astounded by all the information stuffed into her brain by one question. Dammit, now I have to use the thing between my ears. Also, where am I?
