"Wake up! Wake up!"...
An annoying voice echoed inside my head.
"Wake up quickly! Come on, hero."
It echoed in my ear disgustingly, I wish it would stop.
"Wake up, hero, immediately!"
"Shut up!" Edward shouted at the top of his angry voice with his red eyes, then he looked around to find himself in the middle of a wide green meadow in the middle of the night.
"Where the hell am I?!" he said, surprised at what was happening, for he was just hours ago in his luxurious room inside his luxurious building after a long night of drinking.
"Welcome, hero."
He looked ahead to find the source of the voice was a strange wheel of fortune floating in front of him.
"What the hell are you?! And where am I?! Is this some kind of TV prank?! I swear I will sue this whole company!" he kept shouting with his same arrogant angry tone.
"Man, I was planning to be a polite system, but it's clear that you're a son of a bitch."
"What did you say, you damn thing?!"
"Stop shouting and let me explain. I am a system and you are now inside a novel and you will be its hero, congratulations to you."
"I swear, if you don't stop this prank, I'll sue the whole city," he continued using his arrogant tone until the system approached him quickly and said in an angry voice:
"Listen, I hate being with you too, but neither of us has a choice. You're the hero of a novel now, accept it."
"Am I dreaming? It's impossible for what's happening to be real."
"No, it's all real. I will be your system in this world from now on."
"Alright, I'll play along with this prank until I call my lawyer. If I'm the hero of a novel and you're my system, does that mean I'll have a superpower now?" asked Edward.
"No, you will be an ordinary human," replied the wheel of fortune.
"Then was I reincarnated in the body of a rich prince or a count, maybe?" Edward asked again.
"No, you weren't reincarnated in an existing body. This body was specially made and given to you," replied the wheel of fortune.
"...At least will I get beautiful women?" Edward asked a third time.
"I don't know, that depends on you," replied the wheel of fortune.
Edward fell silent for a moment, looking at the wheel of fortune with disgust, then said quietly while pressing his eyes from exhaustion:
"Send me back home. I'm tired of this prank."
"You still think this is a prank? Fine, let me prove to you that what's happening is real."
The wheel of fortune rose slightly upward and began to glow, and its slots started to show words. There were four options:
[You get a bag full of coins.]
[You get a special ability.]
[You are attacked by a swarm of wasps.]
[Nothing happens.]
The wheel started to slowly approach Edward and spoke in a deep, different voice:
"Press the button in my center and take your luck."
Edward also began to slowly approach, then stretched out his finger hesitantly toward the button.
"What exactly will happen?" he asked, his finger close to the button.
The wheel of fortune did not answer.
Edward looked at the button again, then gathered his courage and pressed it.
As soon as he did, the wheel began to spin rapidly. Edward stared at it in amazement, waiting to see what would happen.
Then the wheel started to slow down and finally stopped on one of the slots.
Congratulations, your luck landed on:
[You are attacked by a swarm of wasps.]
"What?!"
He didn't even finish his sentence before suddenly he started hearing a buzzing sound getting closer.
"Please tell me this is a joke!"
The buzzing grew louder and nearer, and Edward looked around, trying to find its source... then slowly looked upward.
He saw a beehive falling from the sky toward him fast... it crashed to the ground and broke open in front of him.
A swarm of wasps came out... and Edward started running and screaming like a madman.
"Hey, system! What kind of luck is this?!"
"Your luck, not mine. Honestly, if I were you, I'd focus on running faster right now."
"To hell with you, you son of a bitch!"
Edward kept running for a while, but eventually his strength gave out... and he was attacked by the wasps, getting stung multiple times.
"Hahahahahahaha!!!" the system laughed hysterically.
"Damn you! Why are you laughing?" Edward asked, his face completely swollen from the stings.
"Nothing, pomegranate face," the system replied, still laughing hysterically.
Then it suddenly stopped laughing and said:
"So, do you believe now that what's happening is real?"
Edward looked at the system for a moment and said:
"I can't believe it... I'm really in another world."
"As I said, welcome hero".
