A cold sweat formed on Vivek's brow as the last vestiges of the crystal energy faded. He stumbled back, his movements sluggish, a primal fear gripping him. The world seemed to blur at the edges, the familiar sounds of this desolate landscape amplified in his panicked ears.

"No!" he cried out, his voice a hoarse whisper. "This can't be happening! Not now!"

Just then, a disembodied voice echoed within his mind, a voice devoid of human emotion.

It seems you've forgotten about me, host.

Vivek whirled around, searching frantically for the source of the voice. His heart hammered against his ribs, his breath coming in ragged gasps.

Don't worry, host, I'm not here to harm you. I'm the system, the very essence that allows you to absorb energy from those crystals.

Vivek's mind reeled. A system? Bounded to him? The fragmented memories of his past life flickered, a scene from the novel playing out before his inner eye. The protagonist, after absorbing a specific crystal, had gained access to a similar system, a voice that guided him and provided information.

"Who are you?" he stammered, his voice barely audible.

The voice chuckled, a hollow, humorless sound that sent shivers down Vivek's spine.

Don't you remember, host? You were the one who wished for a way to survive this nightmare.

Vivek frowned, a sliver of memory pushing its way through the fog of panic. He'd wished for a fighting chance, a way to find his family in this twisted world. Had that wish manifested as this system?

Before he could voice his question, a translucent screen flickered into existence before him, its edges shimmering with an ethereal light. It resembled the status screens he'd seen in countless video games, filled with data and numbers.

Vivek stared at the screen, his heart sinking into his stomach. "Why? Why am I so weak?" he choked out, the question echoing within his mind.
