[BL] Quick-Transmigration: Only You Can Heal Me

Chapter 1: I... Died?

3rd Person POV:

He was taking a walk like he would normally do every day at lunchtime, when he suddenly felt a short but sharp pain coming from his head. Everything went black immediately. When he came to...everything around him suddenly turned white. He blinked his eyes rapidly because of the bright light, when he suddenly heard a voice in his mind.

{Hello, dear Host! I'm your system! Welcome to the 'Help the unfortunate Villain' project.}

He couldn't help but frown. Was he imagining things? 'No.. More importantly, what happened? And... Where am I?' He asked in his thoughts, but without an answer to these questions, the mechanic voice rang in his head for a second time.

{Host Number 1, you have been selected to travel through different worlds to help the big boss villain in each of them. Each of these villains have a tragic fate. It is your duty to help them avoid their death and find a happy ending for themselves. You can deny doing so, but if you really decide that you won't do it, your soul will scatter, never to reincarnate ever again}

He widened his eyes in surprise, before lowering his eyelids again. "Fine..", he began talking to that weird voice. "But please answer my questions first. What happened? And where am I?"

He heard it answer him this time. {Host, you died because a bullet penetrated your skull and brain, killing you almost instantly. You died before the ambulance arrived at the scene. I pulled your soul into this space before it could enter the reincarnation cycle, because you fit every requirement needed to be chosen for these tasks}, it said.

"I understand. Somebody must have betrayed me. I always disguise myself when going out.. Without someone telling, there would be no one knowing..", he sighed. It's not that he was that disappointed to know that he was betrayed.. Since almost everybody wanted him dead for the brilliant success he was experiencing. 'But I would've loved to live just a bit longer.. Dying at the age of 30 wasn't really that pretty. I mean, it could've been worse, but..', he thought and sighed again. 'Never mind.. What's done is done.. I can't go back now... Instead of losing my memories by reincarnating or getting my soul scattered, I would rather do these tasks...'

"So.. System, what's your name? I can't really keep calling you System.. And.. Can you help me with these tasks or am I on my own?", he started asking, since he had to know more.

{Host can give the system a name if he wishes to do so. We systems have no gender or special identity. We help our hosts accomplish their tasks and nothing more, which leads to the second question the host has asked. The host can get points for finishing tasks. With these points, Host can train and learn skills which will be helpful. But other than this and giving information to the host at the beginning of the world, Host will only receive help per the system shop.}

"I see.. Then.. Let's name you Pancake. Also, please call me by my name. The way you said it.. are the points a diffrent currency from the one needed for the shop?", he answered the voice in his head

{Yes, Edwin. Points will be earned for completing the main task in each world. But there will also be side tasks, for which the reward will be coins. These coins can be used in the shop to exchange for different pills and other necessities like food for example.}

"Understood, I will check all of that later.. So.. Do I get any 'first time' bonus?"

{You do, Edwin. You get 1.000 points and 500 coins for bonding with the system. You can also choose one skill to learn for free from those you can choose for the tutorial world.}

"Tutorial world? So.. Are there different difficulties or something?", he immediately asked.

{There are. The tutorial world is basically unfailable. After that, there will be more difficult worlds. These worlds will be ranked with rank 4 being the most dangerous and difficult to complete}
