Instead of his body, Flain had bones! He raised his hand—it was skeletal. He looked at his legs—they were skeletal too.
[The Darkness System adapts to the host...]
[Congratulations! The Darkness System has successfully adapted to the host!]
A purple system window appeared in front of Flain. He stared at it in disbelief.
'Soone implanted so kind of darkness system into ? I've never heard of that before. So soone saved ! But I'm a skeleton... Well, that doesn't matter, because I'm alive!' Flain thought with a grin, though it didn't quite show on his skeletal face.
"Hmm, that skeleton is kinda weird. Hey, here!" the young man shouted.
[Tip: You can open the system just by thinking about it.]
Flain didn't know what the systemntained, but it was worth a try. So he thought about opening it.
[Stats] [Shop]
[Tip: Select an option by holding your finger on the chosen system window.]
Two system windows appeared side by side in front of Flain.
'Stats... I don't know what that ans, and a shop is usually for buying sothing. Let's start with the last one—shop.' Flain thought.
"Ugh, that skeleton seems defective. What did I do wrong?" the young voice above muttered in frustration.
'Alright, let's deal with my rescuer first. He's probably the one who implanted this system into , so hopefully, he can explain.' Flain thought.
Flain slowly and weakly stood up, climbing out of the ground. He barely managed to stand, and his body felt incredibly weak. That frustrated him—he assud he had lost all his strength upon revival, which was a real problem. But at least he was alive and had a chance to fulfill his goal.
Flain looked around. He was sowhere in aniferous forest. He glanced at the pit he had just erged from—an oblong-shaped hole. At the edge of the pit, there was a neatly arranged stone with so kind of markings on it. Then Flain turned his attention to his rescuer.
Tall young man with red hair and red eyes. He had an excited expression and wore sothing that looked like leather armor. Flain felt strange—this place didn't resemble a laboratory at all, and the young man before him didn't look like a scientist who had revived him. Maybe this was so kind of experint?
"It looks like it worked. But it didn't say anywhere that the skeleton would have dark purple light in its eye sockets," the young man mumbled to himself.
"Thank you for saving , sir," Flain said.
The young man froze for a mont. "Hey... did you just talk?" he murmured in disbelief.
"Yes? Did you create in a way that I shouldn't be able to speak?" Flain asked.
"I created so ultra-rare talking skeleton!" the young man shouted excitedly.
Flain wasn't sure how to react. Was this a test? But for what? Surely a scientist capable of reviving sooneuld easily obtain information. Then it occurred to Flain—thisuld be a scientist from an enemy nation, aning they had no information about him and were testing him.
Flain didn't care which side he was on, as long as heuld grow stronger and stronger.
"Can I ask what your na is?" Flain asked.
"I'm Itai. And I'll na you Skelly," Itai said.
[Your master has nad you Skelly.]
"My na is Flain, not Skelly," Flain said.
"You rember your past life?" Itai asked skeptically.
"Well, yes," Flain replied.
"I have the best skeleton ever! And that was just my first try. I'm going to be the strongest necromancer," Itai saidnfidently.
"Hmm... What is a necromancer?" Flain asked.
"You don't know? Well, necromancers summon the dead from the ground, and they serve them. And you're one of my skeletons," Itai said.
'That guy talks about it like it'smmon knowledge. But in my domain, I never heard of anything like this—and I knew plenty of things that normal citizensuldn't possibly find out. This must be so kind of test... oruld it be reincarnation?'
'No, that can't be. Scientists studied reincarnation and declared it wasn't real. But I'll keep that possibility in mind. Reviving soone from death seems even more unrealistic than reincarnation. Alright, for now, I'll assu this is reincarnation.' Flain thought.
Then, Flain's mind began to tremble maniacally. 'If I'm in another world, then I can't kill the ones I want to.'
Flain's mind stopped shaking. 'I don't care. I'll find a way to return to my old world, even if it takes millennia.'
"HAHAHAHAHA!" A maniacal laugh burst from Flain.
"Heh, Flain, you seem to be in a good mood. I didn't know skeletons had so many emotions—looks like you're special," Itaimnted.
Then, Itai sat down on the forest floor. "Reviving you really tired out. I need to rest for a bit," he said to Flain.
Flain sat down next to Itai. Then, he smirked—this was a good opportunity to explore the system. He thought about opening the system, and the familiar two purple system windows appeared in front of him.
[Stats] [Shop]
Flain started from the back and clicked on [Shop]. A large purple system window appeared before him. In the center, it read: Currently, nothing is for sale in the shop. In the top rightrner, it displayed EXP: 0.
'Looks like sothing will be sold here later. The currency is probably EXP, and I have 0,' Flain thought.
[Tip: You can close any system window by thinking about making it disappear.]
Flain thought about closing the shop, and it vanished. Then, he thought about opening the system again and clicked on [Stats].

[Tip: If sothing in the system window is marked [like this], you can click on it to open its detailed system window.]
Flain read through it, his mind swirling with thoughts. So, this was basically his analysis. Itai was his master, and Flain didn't know what that entailed. The idea of having a master didn't sit well with him on principle. It also seed like he was incredibly weak, judging by those stats.
Arding to the tip, he should be able to examine his titles and see what they actually ant. So, Flain clicked on his first title, [Body Rotten with Darkness].
