Morning, on a farm at an unknown location. 6:45 am.
Jonny was a problematic figure since a child, as he was, in fact, a crazy sadist.
He always enjoyed see others suffer, but that isolated him from everyone else and brought him into depression. He could not even count the times he was called “monster”.
Prohibited from showcasing his sadistic behaviors by the law and the society, he always felt stifled as if a chain was choking his neck.
It was only after years of effort that he managed to find a solution: opening a farm in the middle of nowhere.
With no one looking at his actions there was no need to hold back, so he could slowly torture the animals when it was time to butcher them. Any normal butcher would first kill the animal painlessly and only afterward separate their parts, but Jonny did the reverse action, attempting to make the animal suffer the further possible.
Today was Jonny’s favorite day, as he chose it as the one where he would butcher some cows… especially a fat cow which appeared exquisite to eat. After waking up he washed his face and dressed in his usual butcher's clothes, before heading for the barn.
He always loved how those cows seemed too dumb to realize they were going to die.
“Haha~ who will I choose today? I can’t wait~” He laughed as he walked, at least until he reached the iron door of the entrance to the barn.
“What’s this… isn’t it a bit too quiet?” He was used to the cows making a lot of noise, so in front of such silence Jonny felt somewhat uneasy. However, he scoffed at his worries the next moment recalling that on the other side of the door there were only those dumb cows.
Jonny took the keys and opened the lock. The moment he heard the usual ‘click’ he happily opened the door to enter the barn.
But his happiness did not last long.
Before he could react, he felt something gripping his right leg. The feeling soon turned into pain, but it quickly increased into agony.
“AAAHHHH!” Jonny let out a pitiful scream. He frantically attempted to look around to see why he was feeling such pain, but before he could do anything he felt the same painful sensation coming from his left arm.
"UURGGG!" Despairing, he kept screaming uncontrollably. "Wha- WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
All he could see was black, occasional white parts, and small horns everywhere.
The agony quickly transformed into nothingness, when Jonny could not feel anymore his leg.
“Why is- I got it! This is a punishment! Please, I repent! I will never torture others, so please stop! STOP!”
Screaming crazily, Jonny sought to free himself, but as he started to feel additional pain from other parts of the body he gradually gave up in despair. Only when he was about to die he finally understood the reason for all the pain: the cows.
The cows he treated as stupid finally rebelled against him.
Now dead he would never know that he died because of a random quest from The Bullsh*t System and a person that wanted to reincarnate in a cultivation world.
-----
From Shu Himo's point of view.
Holy sh*t, they are eating him alive! I sure did not expect them to be so savage! What would happen if they were to know that I’m a human? Shu Himo felt a shiver going down his back.
After the butcher got 'butchered' all the cows were free to leave, so Shu Himo went out of the barn following behind them.
The moment he walked outside he was surprised by the various colors present everywhere. The green from the meadow, the white of the butcher’s house, the blue of the sky, the red left on the place where the butcher died...
Daylight! I’m finally free! Recalling how hard it was to teach to the cows how to behave, he almost felt like crying. He swore to never pass once again a night teaching cows.
Shu Himo was looking around the place, when he suddenly noticed that all the cows were surrounding him, staring at him with eyes filled in reverence. Startled for a moment, he quickly realized that he still had the appearance of a cow and sighed in relief.
"Moo! (We are all finally free! Let's go to the wilderness and see the outside world!)"
Both Shu Himo and the cows did not wait a single moment before walking toward the wilderness to flavor the feeling of freedom. The moment he walked outside the area of the farm, Shu Himo heard a sound.
*Ding*
[Quest Success: Escape the farm as a cow!]
[Quest Difficulty: D+]
[Quest Reward: You can choose which world you will be reborn in.]
Finally… Shu Himo heaved a sigh of relief.
[Possible world choices:]
[Basic Human World. (The world where the User lived before.)]
[The Magic World. (World based on magic.)]
[The Warrior World. (World based on martial abilities.)]
[The Apocalyptic World. (The world has been attacked by a high-level magic attack from an alien lifeform, and is currently in decline.)]
[The Cultivation World. (The world is filled with Qi, allowing strengthening through cultivation. In the world is possible to use both magic and martial arts.)]
...Was that "explanation" of the magic and warrior world really needed?
[Absolutely. An explanation for each world feels more professional.]
What are you trying to be professional for? Having such a pointless explanation have the opposite effect instead... Shu Himo was speechless.
[...]
Anyway, is it possible to have additional explanations for every world? For example, the current technology level and the society present in it?
[Any information on the not-yet-visited worlds apart from the one listed earlier is all 'locked' information. Any locked information can be unlocked only with BS points or special quests.]
BS points?
[Bullsh*t Points. They will be used as the main currency to trade with the system after the User reincarnates to the next world.]
I see… so, how can I earn BS points?
[Like this.]
[A Quest has been created.]
Eh?
[The Quest is being initiated...]
Eeh?
[Abrupt Quest: Survive against the cows that you just saved!]
[You are not a cow anymore. Upon transforming back into a human you kept glowing, attracting the attention of the other cows. When the cows noticed you were a human they felt betrayed and decided to kill you painfully. Survive 10 minutes the onslaught from the cows to gain some BS points!]
[Quest Difficulty: C-]
[Quest Reward: 2 BS points.]
[Quest Failure Penalty: Excruciating pain from being eaten alive by the cows.]
“...Oi, System, this is bullsh*t! You can't just give me random quests like this!”
Feeling the murderous gaze coming from the cows, Shu Himo started running desperately. He was about to tear up, Why are the cows I just saved trying to kill me?
