What?!?! What was that voice?? Didn't I just die? Second chance?? Find love?? HA!! Why the hell would I want to do that after what just happened?! And what the hell is this about conquer the world?? The hell is this a video game? Did I go mad In my last few seconds of life or something? Not only that but how the hell am I supposed to save mankind when I'm fucking dead??? Hahaha I get it my mind is just trying to help me with ignoring the pain as the last whisps of my life fade away so its come up with some bs game for me to play so I can be at peace as I die!! Ok! Fine let's see what you have for me subconscious I'll play along!
I opened my eyes and blinked looking around.
Oh? This is the game store I was at 2 weeks before everything went crazy.
Looking down at my hand I found i was holding Mystic Madness: medieval conquest. Its a medieval game i bought where you had to rise from being a peasant to a king of nations and conquer the world. Hahaha! So the last game i played and greatly enjoyed thats what you were talking about!! Ok mind I'll buy it and play it again no problem this is a great way to pass the time as I knock off!!
Strolling up to the counter the cute girl who works here smiles at me again.
"Found another game?! You sure your actually playing and finishing all these and not just using them as excuses to see me?"
She teases me again and rings me up.
"Absolutely not i dont need anyone but myself and my games" I coldly reply not feeling like wasting time with her chit chatting when I have no clue how long I have before I die and I want to play the game again.
"Hu?!" She freezes and gives me an extremely startled look holding the game halfway in the bag jaw half open. "Ahhhh I see bad day its ok i get it you just want to go home sorry" she smiles and half laughs awkwardly looking uncomfortable as I finish swiping my card and hand me the receipt. "Have a good day and enjoy your game" She smiles.

I look blankly at the blue display screen that just suddenly popped up infront of my face as I turn pale from shock and look at it in disbelief frozen in place.
"Sir??" I hear a voice worriedly call out to be snapping me back to my senses. "Hu? What?" I slowly turn and the screen remains in front of my face as a see through panel of light and I look at her face which has become worried.

The screen suddenly flashes
She looks at me and asks in a worried tone. "Are you ok you've become so pale? Are you sick? should I call for an ambulance?" Her eyebrows furrow in worry and she looks around like shes worried I might collapse or something and wants to be sure I won't hit my head or something.
"Sorry one moment" I weekly say and look at the panel. Obviously she can't see this otherwise she'd be freaking out at the sudden information that was appearing on it.

"Ahh im sorry its been a really rough day i didn't mean to snap at you my cat died this morning and it's left me really torn up amd feeling sick" I say with a weak half laughs scratching the back of my head. Wait what no why is my mouth and body moving on its own??!! The hell!!!
She looks at me sadly eyes watering abit and reaches out taking my other hand. "Im so sorry to hear that I have a cat myself I can't imagine loosing her it must be so hard"
I nod and reply "it really has been im sorry again. I need to get home tho I dont feel to good and think i need to lay down. See you next time?"
She smiles at me and nods "Come back in if you need to talk ill listen"
I smile and nod "thank you that means alot"
I turn and walk out the door and walk down the street and around a corner into an alley before i stop and gasp for air regaining control of my body I collapse to my knees panting frantically feeling all sorts of crazy and insecure. What the hell just happened?!
The pannel flashes up again.

The screen suddenly vanishes and leaves me there after writing out and speaking the words into my head directly.
Wait.... what was that last part again? Did it just say something about zombie targets? Nevermind that for now Think. It said this is all real and I've actually been sent back in time how's that even possible?? Also that their are consequences for doing certain things like trying to stop the apocalypse or letting women I've received rewards for die unnecessarily. Or revealing the existence of the system to anyone. All makes sense if your something powerful enough to send a person back in time and do such crazy things that alter reality and the known concept of it.
