*Sigh
An exhalation disrupts Connor peaceful sleep. Upon awakening, he discovered himself engulfed in white light at the same time there isn't anything surrounding him.
"Greetings."
A sudden voice promptly attracted his attention. As Connor looked up, an entity was gazing down on him from far beyond.
"W-Who are you? Wasn't I suppose to be hung?" Connor retains his last memories before his ruin and voices out his opinion.
"Connor, 25 years old, death by execution. Is that true?" The entity didn't bother answering his question and nonchalantly stare at Connor waiting for a reply.
"Ah Um." As if overwhelmed by the entity, Connor didn't dare to utter out his opinion and unintentionally replied.
A solid 1-minute pass as the entity continues to stare at Connor while Connor bewildered being judged by the existence that he doesn't know.
"Connor, you are currently dead and present in the highest realm of my world. Now, now, I know you probably have plenty of questions you would love to bring up, but I believe there isn't much time. Do you understand?" The entity didn't intend to answer any question that would deem as time wastage and immediately force Connor to acknowledge what he was talking.
Nodding hesitantly Connor felt that he shouldn't argue with the dominant being in front of him and decided to power on through the process of either being sent to heaven or hell like what he believes in.
The powerful being had a sudden frown appearing in his expression before sighing and decided to continue his conversation.
"It seems your god transferred you to my realm. My name is Sebastion. I am the god that exists to protect and beautify my creation world 'The Spirit Rift' in which is the world that you will be reborn to next."
"W-What do you mean by being reborn?" Bewildered by what the entity is saying, Connor, push himself to ask.
"Live a second life within my world but with various conditions."
"C-Conditions? What kind?" Connor wasn't able to keep up with the things that the entity is telling him about, but he persistently continues to ask to know what becomes of him during his second life.
"Simple, how about saying 'Status' within your heart? It might even reveal everything that you need to do." The entity starts to smile as he instructs Connor on what he suppose to do.
'Status'
Upon saying the word
A translucent window opens up in front of him.
Name: 001 Class: System Upgrade Point: 0 Creation Point: 0 Skill: Nil
Objective To stop world war two from happening. Upon failure, your life is forfeited. (6 months left before the world war two begins)
"Stop world war 2? Are you kidding me right? What's up with my class anyway?" Connor starts to frown as he wasn't able to accept what the entity is telling him to do.

"You're worried? Your heart isn't though?" The entity continues to smile as if he knew deep down that Connor didn't care much about his life as without Emily that he dears to be reunited. He didn't want to care about the bullshit that the entity was babbling.
"..." As if the entity was right all along, Connor was speechless and gave the existence lifeless expression. It is to signify the presence to stop talking to him and to send him away to the world.
"Well, off you go! Oh one important thing though, you need to leash yourself to a being within the time limit if not your life will be immediately forfeited and you won't get to be together with your loved ones."
"Goddamnit!" Connor curses the entity in front of him as he flew down.
Once in his lifetime, he doesn't feel scared even though he is falling from a great height. Seeing the world from the orbit takes the cake. Connor was busy attending to the view that he didn't take note to the geographical location and the countries that he could take advantage to remember.
Contrary to what the norms do, Connor was thinking of forfeiting his life and not accomplishing the objective that he was given. Thus, even if he knew he could do it he preferably not.
Upon touching down the land, a notification window appeared.
You have reached the Spirit Rift, you have five minutes left to occupy a being
"You telling me to take over someone body but... !!" Connor only seems to realize that he doesn't have a physical body and even though he feels that he have both hands and legs, there isn't point to it if he was unable to affect the physical world.
Fortunately, Connor landed in the middle of a kingdom.
You are unable to change the being once you have chosen. You will serve and have the same lifespan as the chosen being.
'A being... Am I able to understand the being language?'
You will gain language comprehension upon occupancy and ability to converse with anyone within this world.
'T-That's convenient, though I wouldn't want to serve a rat no matter how good it may appear to be.' Connor unconsciously reply to himself as he felt that no matter what, he thinks that talking to a human being will definitely bring more help than an inferior one.
Looking around the surrounding, it feels as though he is thrown at the 1800s, the surrounding buildings remind him of London which he throws the idea out of the window without hesitation after seeing a couple of beast folk. Neck and hands are chained and are pulled by a bull-like creature.
The word slave automatically appears in his mind. An idea suddenly emerges within, why won't he be the mastermind behind the world war II? Escape from slavery, build an army and create havoc in the world just to vent his frustration.
His anger slowly builds up as he asks the question, why. Why him? The previous confusion and appearing in front of the powerful being had made him forgotten to ask the exact issue.
You have one minute left to occupy a being.
Connor widened his eyes as the notification had broken him out from his feelings of hatred. A sense of urgency brings him to his current predicament. Shifting his vision to search for the beast folk that had just pass by him.
To his dismay, the slaves were long gone, and he had no time to lose. In an instant, he fell in a dilemma. Even though there are so many being around him and having no time, Connor suddenly becomes choosy.
"Get out of the way! A carriage is coming through."
Connor heeds the call and unconsciously get away from the carriage line of route. Embarrassingly enough he scratches the back of his head as he realizes that he can't affect anything in the physical world right now vice versa.
Turning his view towards the carriage.
'Might as well go for someone that could potentially change something much faster.'
Connor flew and occupy the being that is currently inside the carriage.
Congratulations, you have successfully occupied a being. You have unlocked these various functions. - Language comprehension - View Status - Ability to converse Congratulations, you have gain 1 upgrade point and 100 creation points. Your current nickname is System 001, your being will be able to rename you. As a system, to gain upgrade and creation point, you are to help the being that you had occupied.
The very first thing he saw is a pair of a white hand clutching nothing but her hand. The being that he had occupied is currently feeling frustrated and he felt comfortable as it is similar to what he is feeling right now.
'So I am a system, let's really be one then.'
[Congratulations you have been given a system to help fulfill your dreams. I am 001 and would love to be renamed by you. ]
'Yeah please name me something, anything is better than 001.'
