The Dead Man’S System

Heard people say dying’s the finish line. For Aiden Cross? Nah - that's just step one.
One moment, Aiden served the crown with honor; next, stabbed by men he called brothers. Darkness should’ve ended it - but didn’t. Instead, silence pulled him back. He opened his eyes inside stone walls, ribs cracked, chest still. No pulse. Just cold.
The voice rang inside his head - cold, distant, like something beyond human. As each new task came through, Aiden absorbed bits of strength: dark force that crushed foes while fueling his lifeless spirit. He wasn't held back by flesh anymore... or pity either. Each gasp he made had been ripped straight out of dying moments.
Yet the System wasn't after revenge alone - it craved control. Those who sold him out now lived under deities scared of any hint that death could be undone. Soon enough, they’d realize Aiden Cross wasn’t a memory fading away. He was the chaos they’d brought on themselves.
