[Initialization of host…success…awakening]
"Where the hell am I and…. Who am I?" John was very confused upon awakening.
[Host is now awake, you are a cardboard box that is currently sitting in a storage garage]
"A box you say? Who are you? And why am I a box?"
[I am your system]

Suddenly a brown cardboard looking box that was cube in shape vibrated. As it vibrated the lights in the garage turned on as the slight motion triggered the sensor.
"Arrggg" John growled in apparent pain as it felt like his mind was being torn to pieces like a piece of paper in a shredder. It lasted approximately 5 minutes.
"So I, a former serial killer that was just given his lethal injection am reborn as a damn box. Well that shit head of a priest can kiss my former ass because I did not end up in the hell he said I would." Upon coming out of the information download, John, regained his clarity.

"So how do I gain these evolution points?"
[Kill things, be more intelligent it is the more points it's worth, the more cruel The kill the more it can be worth, the more of a name or legend you make of yourself the more you can earn per year]
"So you're telling me that I can keep on killing and torturing in my next life? HAHAHA!"
John was ecstatic because his favorite thing to do in life was kill things. In fact by the time he was caught in his previous life, had gone down for 20 counts of normal adult homicide while also having the cut up and butchered corpses of children ages ranging from 3 to 15 in a cellar under his house.
"Now besides killing them is there a particular thing I need to do with them?" After laughing to himself in disturbing glee he had to question.
[You devour, no devour no points other than those earned by reputation]
"So what do I do right now? I don't think I can move beyond vibration?"
……………………….
"Nothing?!" Feeling frustrated with no answer John decided to just sit and wait till something actually did happen. And he wouldn't have to wait long.
Suddenly the lights turned off as there had been no movement for the sensors to detect. Plunging the garage back into darkness.

5 hours later…..
*tap*tap*tap* *roll-Crash*
Send me the garage door was rolled up flooding the previously dark space with light as the sensors detected the movement and turn the lights on.
Actually paying attention John could see that he was in a garage lined up against a wall in a corner. On one side of him he had a sofa and on the front of him there was a table. That was what he realized, "Am I in some random dudes man cave?"
Unfortunately he was right and yet wrong. The garage was not exactly a big one as it was only about 8 ft wide end 13 ft in length give or take a few inches. The walls went straight up to a flat ceiling the head but a single light bulb that was 12 ft off the ground with a ladder in the corner opposite him. Looking from underneath the table you can see not far in front of the sofa was a TV and what looked like a console.
*Tap*tap*tap* more footsteps. *roll-Crash* suddenly the garage door rolled back down and then the footsteps occurred this time coming closer.
*tap*tap*tap*TAP*
What came into view was perhaps something that John found all the most terrifying and yet truly hateful. What kind of view was something that he would only consider a creature and something that he would brutally peel the skin off of and then cover and salt before grilling alive.
It was a big buff extremely hairy guy in a sundress revealing everything to the world.
