System: The Death Game!
Chapter 5: The Change
"This?" Kei awakens when he realizes his surroundings are changing.
He found himself in a park. The garden where he felt he often saw her from above. Kei continued to observe the surroundings. Right, left, and finally looked straight, looking at a tall building that was like he was familiar with.
Next to it was a nearby building. Kei observed the fence below, as soon as he realized.
"That's the building!!" he shouted while getting up immediately.
Kei was still horrified when he saw the building. Because, it was the building where he fought, killed each other and saw some cruel reality just now.
Whatever it was, he was still trying to get up to confirm it again.
But the pain soon fell on his entire body. Kei slightly knelt down because of that, feeling pain in his stomach and head. Not only that, some parts of his body were abrasive and some were bleeding.
"It's terrible." whispered Kei after seeing the condition of his body.
He still wore color pants in a casual shirt, but it was all torn after going through a terrible thing. But he was still grateful, he was able to get through it all in one piece.
"I have to go home. What time is it?" Kei took the smartphone in his pocket, and looked up. At 22:46, it's too late for a high school kid like Kei.
"May Mother and Yuna sleep. What am I gonna say when I get home like this at this hour?" asked Kei while walking limped.

Kriet....
"Excuse me...." Kei opened the door of his house slowly. He was a little confused and worried, how the door of his house was still not locked. But as soon as he saw the dark contents of the house, he could breathe a sigh of relief.
"really sloppy. Why is the door not locked?" ask Kei slowly.
The first thing he saw was the footwear on the front shelf of the door. The shelf was full, so there was no way anyone would come out tonight like this. He immediately locked the door, and did everything without a sound.
He was still walking by dragging his feet, as he walked towards the dining table, to fetch some water.
Because of everything that happened tonight, all of Kei's nerves were right on alert. He also had many changes in his body, which he did not even know about himself.
?!!
While fetching water, Kei felt that something was touching his shoulder. He was really surprised, because he was still carried away by the atmosphere of the Death Game just now. His mind was still on standby, on the principle of kill or be killed.
Immediately he spun around taking the hand that touched him.
("Left hand?") inner Kei slightly asked when feeling the hand that touched him.
He arrived somehow he got a picture of what
which has to be done. He put the hand to his back, locked it while trying to grab the right hand, clutching tightly while continuing to push the figure into the nearby wall.
"Wait-wait!" a female voice rang out as Kei turned his hand to the back.
"Tell me who you are. I won't hesitate, if you try to trick me, I'll make you regret it." Kei said coldly, pressing the man's thigh further with his knee.
In this position, the man's right hand was nailed to Kei's hand on the wall, and his left hand was locked. Not only that, even if that person could move with his feet, Kei had already stuffed him with his feet. In other words, it was like the winding of a snake that already knew its prey.
The man nodded slowly. But thanks to that, Kei knew that this man was a woman.
"K-Ka-sister! Why did it arrive? I'm Yuna, your sister! What do you want to do to me?" said the woman, who turned out to be Yuna, Kei's sister! Kei was surprised to know that, and immediately looked for a light switch. He turned it on, then knew that it was really his sister!!
While Yuna looked embarrassed by what her brother did to her earlier, Kei looked confused. But moments later, Kei's common sense returns to its original state, before he gets into that game.
"A-ahh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I'm just a little confused" Kei said as he sat down. He covered his face as he looked up, staring at the bright lights. Kei took a deep breath, and drank the water he had prepared earlier.
"That's okay, but~" Yuna stopped, observing Kei's condition.
"I'm sorry. I might be too tired. I'll take a break to the camp" Kei said. He definitely intended to escape, after the various problems he had created!
"Wait!" Yuna touched Kei's shoulder.
"You haven't eaten, have you? Let me warm up the vegetables first, so wait a minute" Yuna said.
Yuna then left Kei who was only silent, fixated on looking at his sister who was away. Immediately, a feeling of guilt flowed into Kei's heart. Although he was 2 years younger than Kei, he was old enough not to ask Kei anything.
"She's really like my sister, huh?" whispered Kei slowly.
"What did my brother say?" Yuna slightly turned her head when she heard Kei's whisper. He was lifting the pot on the stove at that moment.
Kei shook his head slowly, smiling.
"No. There's no."

"I really don't understand. He came home with such a horrible state and did not tell anything? That's really weird!!" Yuna was back and forth in her own room, upset with Kei.
"I have acted not to want to know. The word internet, if you don't want to know, the interlocutor will feel guilty" Yuna said again.
It was laughable because his true nature was completely different from what Kei thought. In fact, Yuna really wants to know what happened to Kei!
Yuna snorted in annoyance, then thought about what had happened earlier.
Yuna was sure, she would not be that easy to break her movements. For physical matters, Yuna was confident she would not lose against Kei. And arguably, he knew he was stronger than Kei.
"But why can't I move at all when pressed like that? It felt like he knew the movement of martial arts. It feels like...." Yuna stopped for a moment. His face also became more serious.
"He feels stronger a few times than usual?" continued.

"Infraggh.... It was a really exhausting day. At least, tomorrow Sunday, I can rest." Kei was laying his body on the bed.
He looked at his smartphone again. Kei was a little grateful there were no strange notifications there. He saw the contact belonging to his girlfriend, Myan. Unfortunately, there was no message from him. It sounds sad, but it is.
Kei was immediately carried away in his tiredness, making him fall asleep quickly.
(Stupid master. He didn't try to contact me though.)
A voice sounded. Kei was startled and immediately opened his eyes quickly. But he finds himself not in his room. He was in a white place, with absolutely no shadows covering the floor! Even Kei could not see his own shadow!
Kei couldn't help but gawk at realizing that. After all, a few seconds ago he was still inside his room. He was afraid that he would have to be teleported to a strange place again.
"What'sthis? The dreams? What is this thing called Lucid Dream?" asked Kei while walking slowly.
(This is the Player space. This is a private space that can be formed at will by the Master. Do not hesitate to use it.) the clear voice was again heard.
"Whaa!! Who's there?!! I warn you, I'm not afraid!!" yelled Kei while raising both hands, preparing.
Although he said so, his legs trembled violently while trying to keep his hands in front with some attitude. Even he tried hard not to show fear!
(I am a System, Master.)
"Sis-, huh? Whatisit? Don't joke with me! What do you want from me?
(I am a system created to help a Player to make it easier to win the game. And I am your personal System.) obviously the voice that explains that he is the System.
"I don't understand. What game do you mean? And can you show yourself? I'm more comfortable talking to people who show themselves." Kei replied.
There was no answer from the voice, making Kei somewhat confused as to what he should do now.
(Systems can gain a form after evolving to level 2. Now you have 1 Evolution point. Your level has been reset. But your basic status is the status when you finish winning the Test.) the system says again.
"I kind of understand, but I don't understand either. Can you explain from the beginning?"
(If that's your wish, Master.)
