[Ding! Player Detected! Initiating process...]
Just as Trisha thought this was the end, a sudden message appeared in front of her. Her mind was muddled ad she couldn't think straight. The last thing she felt was the warm hands of Eva.
'....Yes! Eva! Where is she?! Eva!!' Trisha tried to yell but no voice came out of her mouth. Wait! She didn't even had a mouth!
Just as she was about to start panicking, she heard that voice again,
[Ding! Emotional Fluctuations detected! Neutralizing....Do you wish to see your friend again?]
'Yes!' Just as heard this voice, she exclaimed in fright as if even a small delay might change the decision mad by this God Ding.
[Ding! Welcome user 00xxx. Welcome to the world full of Mystic and death. You o' Hero were the chosen among millions of people regardless of species, gender and realms. This is the mini trail world full of murderers, psychopaths, ghosts, supernatural, cannibals and gore lovers. All you have to do is survive. How? its up to you, find shelter, allies, be cautious of the monster inside the skin cloths, and be careful, they are watching you. Believe in the reason you were chosen, and that is, because they were bored. GOODLUCK!!]
'Is this where Eva is?' she have to confirm first.
[Ding! Affirmative. She is a user too. Processing....Both the user wishes the same....Link created! Do you wish to spawn with your at the same location as your friend?]
'Yes! Please! I beg of you Lord Ding!' It was as if all the sadness and the struggling she had endured had paid off.
Why does it matter if how horrible this world is? As long as she is with her friend, everything will be alright! She will not repeat the same mistakes. That's a promise!
[Ding! Spawn point synchronized! Processing...User Ethan sent you a friend request. Accept?]
Just as she heard next words, all her happiness died down in an instant. That name, That Cursed Name!!

'Does that mean this is the blessing of Lord Ding?' She exclaimed in awe. If she had this God's blessing, doesn't that mean she could nurture it to get stronger? That way shee can protect Eva this time!
Just as this thought came to her mind, her mood became solemn. If she has this blessing and if and a big if, that is the same demon who send her the message, doesn't that mean he have the same blessing then this? Not to mention, just as Lord Ding told her, this world would be crawling with the same kind of monsters. Or maybe even worse kind.
Just as this thought came to her mind, she felt the same dread she was feeling in that household. She shook her head and firmed her resolve.
'If what Lord Ding told is true and that is the same monster I know, then I have to get stronger! Besides, there's score to settle.' She said as a cold glint passed through her eyes.
[Ding! All the preparations are complete. Processing...Now the user will be injected into the world called Criptic Star.]
And with that, her vision blurred and a headache assaulted her. It looks like those who do not have level 2 systems have problem teleporting, maybe.
After what felt like hours of full stomach roller coaster ride, Trisha finally had some resemblance of control, or if feeling heavy can be considered one. Her body was numb, her mind spinning and thoughts jumbled. Just as she could move her body, she finally sat up.
Thank goodness, I was having hard time finding words when she was relaxing, anymore and I would have thrown a runner at her.
The next thing she noticed was that she wasn't alone. This person, or what looked like one, was in the same situation as her, the only difference was that their wasn't a single facial feature on her face, not even hair. But that body type, she wouldn't mistake it for anyone.
According to Lord Ding, she can change her appearance or take the same one as her past life by leveling up. All she have do is kill the things called corrupted.
Before her mind could start processing, her mouth uttered a word,
"Eva? Is that you?"
....or words. As Nux told, fate does not exist here so...not my fault.
"Trisha?" said the girl next to her, which now confirmed to be Eva herself.
The two friends hugged, cried and did there very best to attract corrupted but alas, or wait, good thing that they were alone.
