A familiar voice rang inside his head multiple times, like an annoying alarm clock that won't shut up unless he moves from the comforts of his bed. He slowly opened his eyes and was about to turn off the noise—only to notice two things. One, the noise stopped immediately after he'd woken up. Two, he couldn't move his hands at all.
"Ah. I'm dead."
He recalled his latest memories and realized that he'd been murdered by Rhys, the son of the influential Griffins family. He still couldn't grasp why someone could easily kill due to a grudge from months ago. He let out a sigh, seeing that there was no point in pondering too much about it, he should be worrying about the matter at hand first.
Theodore began to look around, inspecting his surroundings. It was dark, as if he was inside of a cave, but he could see a little bit of light seeping through a small crack a few centimeters above his head.
"...Wait, I'm alive?" He suddenly felt a tinge of hope, his heart rate quickened, confirming that he was indeed alive. He thought that his last moment's prayers had been answered. He let out an amused chuckle but was surprised to hear a hiss instead. He frantically turned left and right, startled by the sudden noise, it took him a moment to realize that he was the one who made that sound just now.
Everything clicked together in almost an instant, his lack of arms, the cold and dampness coursing through his frame and the hissing he'd let out just now. Swallowing nervously, he looked down and suppressed a scream at the sight before him—where his body was supposed to be, the scales and belly of a snake took its place.
"What the f*ck???!!!!"
[Theodore Varon, it seems you're awake.]
"!!!" He flinched at the sudden sound and coiled back on reflex, the voice he'd heard just now was none other than his own. "What's going on?" He asked softly, although the only thing that came out of his mouth were hisses.
The voice seemed to have heard his question nonetheless. [You've paid the price, Theodore Varon. From now on, you're unable to reincarnate into a human in exchange for keeping your sentient intellect and memories of your past life.]
"...Huh?" He was perplexed, after the world had changed, he thought he could get used to anything thrown his way. But right now he was hearing his own voice speak to him while telling him that reincarnation is real. "I...Who are you?"
[I am a being with no name. However, you may address me as System. That would be what most humans could comprehend my existence as.]
"System? Then...Do I have a status window?" Theodore took a deep breath, calming himself down. He knows himself well enough and won't easily let his complicated feelings take control of his actions.
[Yes. Do you wish to view your status?]
"Okay."
After the confirmation, a light screen appeared in front of his vision:
