Eternal Darkness: Reincarnated with A Star Wars System - 1 Chapter 1 ReWritten

At the beginning of my life after college, I was a successful businessman. I owned a company so large and successful that very few companies could rival mine. Well, It was successful… I had a loving wife and daughter they were the only thing in my life I truly cared about… but one day while they were walking on the street a hit and run occurred and they both died before reaching a hospital.

After a week of investigating, the cops suddenly barged into my mansion yelling “We caught you, you bastard you killed your own family!” I had no clue what was happening… the cops claimed that I organized a hit and run on my wife and child… the only ones I cared about in all the world.

In court, they showed images of me with people I don’t recall ever seeing before with audio of me asking how much money they needed to accept the job. I started feeling like this entire court is trying their hardest to set me up to be guilty… but that when I noticed as I was looking over at the jury… every one of the people in the jury was people in my company that I fired. My heart sank and the judge as if “coming into the light” nodded his head like he made a decision and he said the words I did not want to hear.

“Silence! The jury has come to a decision with a unanimous vote that Lucifer Caebic is found guilty of murder. He is sentenced to death via lethal injection.”

I was sentenced to death via lethal injection for crimes I did not commit. I was stuck in prison for 2 years then put to death for crimes that I did not do. For those two years during free time I was allowed to read books on the library computer for “Good Behaviour” so for the 2 years I decided to read a classic from my childhood Star Wars. I read through all the lore possible from the Star Wars universe and to be honest, If I were to describe myself, it would be that I have always preferred the Sith over the Jedi.

The Sith have more freedom than the Jedis. The Sith followed a code just like the Jedi, they followed Darth Bane’s Code of the Sith. Darth Bane’s code is “Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.”

After 2 Years of waiting for my time to come, it was finally the day in which I would die. During my time in prison, I befriended each and every guard. When I had only one day left until my death, every one of those guards visited me in their free time to say goodbye. Some even had faint amounts of water forming in their eyes. On the day of my death, The Guards that overseed my death were none other than one of my friends, he had clear hesitation on his face hinting that he did not want to be in any way involved with my death.

“It is okay my friend. It is my time. I understand that you are hesitant to kill me, but just know that I would rather have you, my friend, kill me instead of someone else.”

All of my friends turned away upon seeing me being injected with a needle. As my vision darkened I said aloud with the last of the strength within me “Good…bye…My…Friends.”

After my death, I thought I would simply stop existing, but instead, I simply floated within an endless abyss. I do not know how long I was in this void of nothingness. Mabye I have been here for days? Mabye months or even years.

While going over my memories of my life a voice that sounded old and broken entered my ears.

“Do you wish to leave?”

I floated there in the abyss looking around myself for that…voice. Enough time passed to where I could no longer bear sitting in this abyss and I answered hoping the voice was still with me.

“Do you accept the conditions of the contract?” the voice asked me.

I did not know what it was asking and when I asked what It meant it only repeated its question to me. So, I accept.

“Than the contract is set, happy hunting.”

Upon hearing him my senses vanished and I could no longer stay conscious.

————————–

When I awoke I was in a forest, I could hear the chirps of birds and the howls of wolves. I could feel the solid ground! I could feel the effect of gravity on my body! I was ecstatic due to this wonderful feeling, but that feeling quickly disappeared due to not having any clothes.

The forest was peaceful and beautiful nothing like earth in the slightest on earth most forests were ruined by human hands, entire ecosystems destroyed just so someone could make a bigger profit. They did not care if they made a species go extinct. It disgusted me to the point that I made a company completely built on artificial products… just so we did not have to destroy earth more than we already have. All of my thoughts were disrupted by a voice neither feminine or manly.

‘Welcome Host, I am the Star Wars system. Do you wish to hear my current functions?’

“Who said that?! Where are you?!”

‘Calm down Host, I am currently located within your soul.’

“What?…My soul? What are you talking about?”

‘My creator placed me inside your soul to help you fulfill your contract.’

“What contract?! It never even told me its terms!”

‘That is your problem, not my creators.’

“Ah…Fine, tell me of your uses.”

‘I am outfitted with a Level/Stat system, Inventory system, System shop, and Quest System.’

“So you are like a game system?”

‘If that is what you want to think of me as.’

‘You have a starter crate available as well as a Starter Mission. Do you wish to open the crate?”
