Samuel Jackson is… or was an unfortunate young man. At the tender age of six, his parents were killed and he found himself at the mercy of unknown adults in uncaring and corrupt world. He was shuffled from one abusive foster home to the next for nearly a decade, collecting scars along the way before finally having enough and fleeing the system that failed him.Life on the streets wasn’t much better but at least he had a relatively safe place to sleep, and he wasn’t alone anymore. Finding a place among the other forgotten members of his society who had slipped through the bureaucratic cracks, he was able to rest easier and not have to worry about being attacked by people he was supposed to depend on. It was a harsh life but one that he had some semblance of control over even if he had to worry about finding enough food every day to keep himself fed.It wasn’t easy to live that way, and the world seemed intent to grind him down ever since his parents had died. But he persevered, endured, and never let it bring him down to its level. He never let it turn callous and cruel. Even when it took another loved one away from him and left him with another scar.Even when it sought to take another’s life in front of him.His last act of bravery and kindness earned him a bullet to the chest, but it didn’t go unrewarded this time. Impressed by his determination to do the right thing even in the face of death, it chose to test him once more in his and found itself bound by a strength of will that even his crumbling soul could not contain. Bound to will of a fading spirit to set things right in his world and was impressed once more.So, it saved his soul and gave him choice.He could either remain dead like he was now, be revived in his old world, or it could take him to another world. One of its choosing where his efforts would matter. Where he could make a difference or live a peaceful life of his own making. To have a family again or save and protect people like the ones he had lost. Or both. It would be entirely up to him once he had arrived.He didn’t want to be dead just yet and didn’t want to be resurrected in a world that didn’t care about people like him, so he took the third choice. Too bad, his fresh start wasn’t going to be easy as he had hoped. His ‘fate’ in his former world wasn’t about to let him go so easily and followed him to his new world. At least he wasn’t going to be alone in facing it this time. With a ‘System’ aid to guide him in this new world, the spirit of a dead demon lord to strengthen and guard him, and the ‘mark’ of his otherworldly patron; he should be able to free himself of it once and for all.Right?
