Long white eyelashes slowly flutter open to reveal cold, peircing grey, almost white eyes.

The young man who looked to be fifteen or sixteen sat up from the bed he was laying on, looking around confused.

'Did I fail and get saved', Zero tilted his head to the side, feeling his head spin and pound in unison.

'This doesn't look or smell like the hospital.' He was already so used to hospitals that he could tell if a place was associated with it. And this was was no hospital.

Zero frowned slightly, farrowing his snow white eyebrows he focused on the surrounding environment.

It looked like a normal bedroom,with a queen sized bed, bathroom door at the top left corner of the room, what looked to be a walk in closet and side tables filled with photo frames of a happy looking family.

Although there was a white haired teenager who didn't look like the rest. Zero stared in fixation at the teen who looked to be albino, and realised that was him.

Zero frowned, he didn't know who the people in the photo were and was sure he had never participated in any of the events shown in the pictures.

The boy who looked like him even had the small two black spots at the corners of both his eyes.

Suddenly Zero felt a tremendous amount of pain flare through his head as he continued to look around the room. It felt like something was drilling into his brain slowly, as he clutched at his head, there was a sudden wave of memories that didn't belong to him.

Memories of the family, but with another man that looked vaguely like the children, although the girl looked more like the man while the younger boy looked nothing like the parents,... Charlie. He saw how Rènèe ended it with Charlie, how she came together with Phil, how the white haired boy was secluded from the family after a traumatic and gruesome experience.

An extortion gone wrong had happened at the young kids school trip. The culprits had come come out of a black minivan, threatening the teacher, students and tour guides, demanding for money.

The school had painstakingly arranged a trip to a place that not many could go. So it was quite loaded.

But the manager of the trip location was too greedy and refused, taking out his phone and threatening to call the police.

The robbers became angry, and they began a massacre, shooting every one in their path to death.

But after all that, the young boy stood in the middle of what seemed to be a battlefield, cloths soaked with blood, looking at his best friend who had his eyes open, staring lifeless into the air, a bullet wound in his chest.

Zero felt pity for the kid, wishing to help him, as the police arrived, they arrived to the scene of a child no more than eight standing in the middle of piles of corpses.

He watched as they took the kid into custody, waiting for his parents to arrive and take the white haired child who stared into empty space, staying mum.

He watched as Rènèe rushed into the room, the officers telling her of the situation they found him in.

He watched as Rènèe's face morphed to that of horror, looking at her now clean but expressionless son.

The white haired boy hadn't spoken ever since the accident.

He watched as the woman brought the kid from therapist to therapist, scared at his behaviour or lack thereof.

But they all said that he would forget the accident.

But he will never forget, because he has a perfect photographic memory. To the point that his first memory was of him in his mother's womb.

He watched as the child distanced himself from the family, but his two years older sister wouldn't have it and stuck to her brother, she was the only one who could see him smile for the first time in months.

Suddenly the door swung open, snapping Zero out of the barrage of memories as a girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen walked into the room. She was the girl from the pictures and memories.

"Zero wake up, or we'll be late for the plane to forks." the girl... no Bella spoke as she smiled gently.

Zero's eyes widened to the point of almost rolling on floor, along with his sanity, as he kept staring because right now he was looking at the Bella Swan.

"Um, Zero are you okay?" Bella questioned as she waved a hand at Zero's face. "You haven't gone dumb, right?"

Usually Zero would be up and already in the dinning room sitting with a blank expression while reading a book.

"What the actual frickity fudge cake!"

Zero shouted as the last of the memories entered his brain. It couldn't be, could it be?, no he couldn't believe.

"Uhh, language?". Bella spoke with a confused and questioning tone as she didn't know what to do at her brother's sudden outburst.

Zero's thoughts raced rapidly in his head, what, how, when. Had the government scraped his body of the pavement and experimented on him, injecting his brain with all this information and then putting him inside a simulation.

No that couldn't be it, he'd hacked into the government before, their technology wasn't this advanced, and the memories where too whole to be artificially created, there were no loopholes.

That could only mean one thing, transmigration or rebirth. Zero's light grey eyes lit up with light. There was only one way to know.
He mastered all his socialising skills and asked the first question that came to mind.

"Who am i, where am I and what have you done to me?"

Bella looked at her brother, shocked.

Instead of Bella answering the voice of a machine rang out.

[You are Zero Raven White, now to be known as Zero White Swan. You have been transported to the Twilight universe and currently nothing has been done to you and your health stats are at a hundred, Host.]

Zero's eyes widened as he stared at the shining blue screen that displayed his current stats, he'd look at that later. As right now he needed to focus on the voice in his head.

'Who are you?'. Zero was observant enough to notice that Bella didn't seem to hear the voice or see the floating blue screen, so he said that in his head.

[Host, I'm your system. The Mighty Dawn System.]

Seeing as his theory of the system being able to hear his thoughts had been proven, he continued, he asked his next question. 'What do you want from me?'.

[I want nothing from you host, I am only here to help you with your second chance at life. Would you like to see what I can do.]

"Zero come on, we need to go". Bella said while looking strangely at her brother who was acting out of character.

"Ok I'll be finished preparing within the hour." Zero spoke how he normally spoke, it seems that he and the Zero of this world have the same character.

As he stood up he thought to the system.

'We are going to have a long conversation.' Then he entered the bathroom.
