The Life Hacker System - 27 0.00004% Chance of surviving

Taka’s dizziness became to retreat.

His eyes fixed on the fake Maya approaching him licking her lips with a look in her eyes Taka couldn’t quite explain.

“Damn that’s creepy”

Taka thought to himself.

He slammed his fist into the floor in annoyance before trying to stand.

He managed to stand after a few stumbles, Thanks to the oak tree behind him.

It was only now that he realised that everything around him appeared to be frozen; leaves were literally suspended mid-air, bird’s halted mid-flight. In any other circumstance he would probably find the fact that everything was frozen to be rather fascinating but in his current circumstance he knew he was screwed.

Fake Maya continued her approach, only to stop about 10 metres away from him.

It was her turn to be confused.

Taka smirked, evil suddenly consumed his face.

He spoke, his voice sounding almost feral, eyes sharpening giving a sense of danger to anyone who saw them.

“WHO…”

“THE…”

“HELL…”

“ARE….YOU?”

“It’s me Maya. . . . Taka don’t you recognise me?”

She looked innocent when she spoke almost saddened by what he’d asked but Taka wasn’t having any of it.

“Alright cut the bullshit, bitch. I know you’re not Maya. So I’ve got two questions for you. First question, WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY MAYA? And the second question, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?”

Taka’s voice had gone from sounding feral to a full on growl, when he’d asked the questions he’d almost barked them out.

A smirk played on her lips almost playfully but her eyes showed that she was now, taking Taka seriously.

“Damn, I thought it would take you longer to figure out ahahaha”

She spoke in playful annoyance.

“As for your questions. Not answering the first one. . .”

She paused for a few seconds before continuing.

“But as for the second one. . . .”

She paused, as she paused she appeared to faze and distort.

Taka rubbed his eyes thinking he was seeing things but the distortion continued. Well, until it came to a halt. Maya was replaced with someone else.

Her hair, dark red; virtually flaming.

Bright green eyes.

Bright blood red lips with a body most women would die for.

She oozed danger and sex appeal.

A scent rushed to Taka noise with one sniff he could barely hold himself back.

Eyes blood shot, he glared at her in anger and lust.

He could barely contain what he was feeling.

That was when the system interrupted his train of thought.

[HOST MENTAL FORTITUDE ACTIVATED]

Taka felt his emotions calming, though he was still pretty pissed off.

Seeing him escaping the grasp she’d had on him, her face paled.

The words that should have originally came out of Taka’s mouth came out of hers.

“W- w-w-What the hell are you?”

“I think that’s a question I should be asking. . . . Don’t you?”

Having his emotions calm he realised how stupid he’d been a few moments ago.

The person, creature, whatever the hell she was, was still far too powerful for Taka to handle yet, moments ago he was preparing to attack her.

He sighed as he thought to himself as he looked down.

“Talk about thinking with my other brain”

He chuckled to himself, finding out that despite all the advantages the system gave him, that he could still screw everything up if he wasn’t thinking straight or thinking with the right brain. (If you know what I mean /^_^/ ahahaha)

Hearing him chuckle a certain someone stiffened. It creeped her out how someone in his current dire circumstance could laugh so freely.

His chuckling subsided finally he asked the system a sensible question.

“Hey system, what are the chances I’ll survive a fight with her”

The system thought and replied.

[HOST HAS 0.00004% CHANCE OF SURVIVING. A CREATURE LIKE THAT IS FAR TOO POWERFUL FOR A MORTAL LIKE HOST TO FIGHT AND SURVIVE]

The system paused.

[UNLESS…..]

Taka heard an uncertainty in the systems voice that he hadn’t heard before.

“Unless what system?”

[UNLESS HOST BECOMES SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SOMETHING NOT MERELY MORTAL]

Taka’s mind processed the information at a million miles a minute.

A solution materialised within his mind.

The solution was simple when he thought about it.

To become something new.

To change the very essence of his mortal form.

The essence of any mortal.

His Bloodline.
