Awakening

last update Date de publication: 2026-04-30 17:51:00

Darkness.

Heavy. Suffocating.

Then

Beep… beep… beep…

Air rushed violently into her lungs.

Kaira McCauley’s eyes snapped open.

She gasped, her body jerking upright

Pain tore through her like shattered glass.

She grabbed the sheets tightly, her breath catching in her throat, and her breathing became rough and uneven.

White ceiling.

Sterile lights.

The faint smell of medicine.

“Hospital?”

Her voice came out very weak.

Her mind raced

The race.

The speed.

The final turn.

The crash.

Her fingers trembled.

“I…died.”

The words barely left her lips.

Then

Something else surfaced.

A memory that wasn’t hers.

A road.

Night.

Headlights cutting through darkness.

Another car, coming fast.

“That’s not mine.”

A sharp pressure built inside her skull.

[System Initializing…]

Her eyes widened instantly.

“Who said that?”

[Welcome, Host: Alina Crosswell.]

Silence.

Then

“No, I've finally gone insane.”

Her gaze dropped to her hands.

Thinner.

Different.

Not hers.

[Previous identity: Kaira McCauley confirmed deceased.]

[Current identity: Alina Crosswell.]

Her heartbeat slammed against her chest.

“…You’re telling me” she paused trying to grasp something “this must be a prank”

[Soul transfer successful.] The system cuts in.

The room felt colder.

“I took over her body?”

[Condition met: Simultaneous fatal incidents.]

Kaira went still.

“Simultaneous?”

The memories returned, clearer this time.

Her crash.

And

Alina’s.

The exact same moment.

Alina Crosswell’s car

Colliding with another.

Not random.

Not an accident.

Kaira’s eyes sharpened.

“That car.”

[Vehicle identified as property of Host’s rival.]

Her lips pressed into a thin line.

She got caught up in a bad situation and it ultimately led to her death.

A quiet pause.

Then

“She just got replaced by me.”

Noise suddenly erupted outside the room.

Shouting.

Rapid footsteps.

Camera clicks.

Kaira turned sharply toward the door.

“What’s happening?”

[External situation updating…]

A brief delay.

[Media presence confirmed.]

[Authorities en route.]

Her brows furrowed.

“…For what?”

Voices outside grew clearer

“That’s her room!”

“She’s awake!”

[Cause: Collision involving rival’s vehicle.]

[Additional status: Financial liability assigned to Host.]

Kaira blinked.

“…They want her to pay?”

[Affirmative.]

Another pause

[Rumor classification: “Witch.”]

She let out a short, dry laugh.

“…Of course.”

Footsteps stopped right outside her door.

“Open it!”

BANG!

The door shook violently.

Kaira slowly swung her legs over the side of the bed, trying to shake off the feeling of weakness that had settled in her body.

“…So let me get this straight.”

Her voice was calm now.

Cold.

“I woke up in a new world…”

Another bang.

“Hunted…”

She stood up slowly.

“Blamed for a crash…”

Her gaze shifted toward the window.

“And nearly arrested on day one.”

[Warning: Immediate capture likely.]

The handle rattled harder.

“They’re breaking it!”

[Emergency Task Issued.]

Her vision flickered.

[Objective: Escape capture.]

[Recommended action: Exit through window to get 100 points and can be used to buy rare items.]

She turned fully.

“…You want me to jump?”

The window stood closed.

Three floors above ground.

Cold wind pressed faintly against the glass.

[Probability of success is 69.99.]

[Probability of getting arrested and jailed is 99.99.]

BANG!

The door cracked.

Kaira walked forward without hesitation.

“…This body may be weak.”

She pushed the window open.

Wind rushed in sharply.

“But I’m not.”

Behind her

“Break it down!”

CRACK!

Wood splintered.

Kaira climbed onto the ledge, gripping the frame tightly.

Below

Concrete.

No safety.

No guarantee.

Just risk.

Her lips curved into a faint, dangerous smile.

“…Guess nothing’s changed.”

Her eyes sharpened.

“Still betting everything on one move.”

[System Notice: Decision acknowledged.]

The door burst open behind her.

“Stop her!”

Too late.

Kaira, now Alina Crosswell

Stepped forward

and jumped.

    The engines were so loud it felt like they were ripping through the darkness.As Alina caught sight of the last part of the Black Apex circuit, her hands clenched harder on the wheel. The road ahead was a long, tough stretch of asphalt, lit up by floodlights that cast flickering shadows everywhere.Beside her, the rival driver wasn’t backing down.Not even slightly.It seemed like time had stopped for a moment, and both cars were frozen, unwilling to make a move or give any indication of what would happen next.The system flickered at the edge of her vision.[Stability: Low]Alina accelerated immediately. The gap between their cars narrowed again. So small it felt unreal.As she put the pedal to the floor, her car suddenly lurched forward, smoothly passing the other vehicle just inches from the finish line, the move so precise and calculated it was like a choreographed dance.And thenthe line was crossed.

    The door closed behind her.Silence settled in the room, but it didn’t calm anything.Alina leaned slightly against the wall, her body still aching from the fall. Her ankle throbbed, her shoulder stiff, but her mind was sharp. Too sharp.“…System.”[Points Available: 50]“Not now.” She cuts it off.Right now, something else mattered.She didn’t need healing.She needed control.DownstairsVoices.Zaria Blake was still there.Still comfortable and untouchable in her house.Alina’s eyes darkened.“Not for long.”[System Notification: New Task Generated.] The system prompted as if it is reading her mindShe went still.“so fast…Let’s hear it.”A brief pause.

    The force of it knocked the wind right out of her.Alina fell to the ground with a thud, rolling across the pavement until she finally stopped moving.“Ahhh!”A surge of pain shot through her side, making her gasp. Her ankle was throbbing, the ache sharp and intense, but she gritted her teeth and pushed herself up, determined to get to her feet.Not fatal.That was all that mattered.Sirens echoed faintly in the distance.They were still looking.[System Notice: Host condition — minor injuries.][Mobility — limited but stable.]Alina steadied her breathing.“…Then I move.”As she caught sight of the Crosswell estate, her pace began to slow, yet she didn't come to a complete halt.The gates stood open.The mansion loomed ahead, quiet and imposing.Waiting.Alina paused just outside.Something felt unsettling.The mansion was too calm as though it was waiting for her arrival.[System Update: New Task Available.]Her vision flickered faintly.She stilled.“…Now?”[Task: Gain Psychologica
