"What the hell?"
The driver of a truck cursed as someone suddenly jumped into the street in front of his truck.
"Screeeee!"
He slammed the brakes heavily was simply too late!
"Crash!"
Like a ragdoll, the figure was sent flying three meters through the air before landing on the ground.

Theon woke up, seeing this strange scene. Is this what happens when you die by a truck?
Before he could comprehend what the texts means, surges of strange memories started flashing through his brain.
The original Theon's pain, the everyday humiliation, battles of life and death, his mother's unexplained death, the awakening, the extraction, the pain and desperate desire for revenge.
It was so overwhelming that Theon had no idea when tears fell off his cheeks and when he bit his lips so hard he drew blood.
He understood now what had happened. He had reincarnated into the body of this youth who had the same name and face as him.
And more importantly, he knew what he had to do.
"System," he whispered, his voice hoarse from screaming. "By omni-quest, you mean I create my own quests?"
[Affirmative. The Auto Quest System allows the user to generate personal objectives with appropriate rewards based on difficulty and importance.]
A grim smile crossed his bloodied lips as he absorbed the inherited memories of Theon's life—every humiliation, every moment of suffering, every injustice inflicted by this family that shared his blood but not his values.
"It's revenge you want right? I shall bring this whole family to its knees I promise you his Theon."
He stood up weakly and felt his body drained of energy as he broke out in a sweat. He felt as though he was about to collapse.
"I will escape the Dragan Mansion!"
[Ding! Quest created]
[Objective: Escape from the Dragan Family Mansion]
[Reward: One Random Gift]
[Accept Quest? Y/N]
"Accept," he said without hesitation.
Drawing upon Theon's memories, he knew exactly how to escape undetected.
During his younger years, before joining the military, Theon had discovered several secret passages and routes that allowed him to slip away from the family compound without being noticed by the guards.
Moving carefully through the shadows, he made his way to the stables where the family kept their mounts.
His target was a specific beast a Berserk Horse. It's speed was incredible and it's endurance even more so. In addition, it was far faster than a regular car.
The horse was about three meters tall and was as white as Theon's hair.
It's eyes was also crimson red.
Berserk Horses were notoriously difficult to tame, but the Dragan family had tamed them to their bloodlines.
He led the horse through the hidden paths.
The road took them through a section of the outer wall where the stones had shifted over time, creating a gap just wide enough for a person and horse to squeeze through.
In that instant, Theon climbed the body of the horse and the two creatures moved.
As they reached a considerable distance, Theon suddenly heard the system sound.
[Ding!]
[Quest Completed]
[Reward Granted: Talent Upgrade Serum (Divine Grade)]
[A miraculous elixir capable of evolving any talent.]
[Do you wish to accept reward now? Y/N?]
Theon's brows rose when he saw the reward. A vial that could raise his talent? He was immediately excited.
"Yes!"
Suddenly a syringe materialized in his hand, filled with a dark green liquid.
Theon glanced skeptically at the serum. It didn't shine like a divine grade item and looked and smell like blended grass instead.
"Even then I don't have a talent to upgrade anymore…"
However, it wasn't as though he could give the serum to someone else. It was simply courting death.
Without hesitation, he pierced the needle into his chest and unloaded the intent inside his chest.
The effect was immediate. Fire raced through his veins like magma flowing underneath his skin.
For a moment, nothing happened, and Theon just shook his head. The tiny bit of hope in his mind vanished.
Suddenly, the magma settled in a spot in his chest and then ignited into an inferno as energy surged through his body as his eyes began to pain, causing him to also the speeding horse down.
[Talent Evolution Completed]
[Ancient God Eye (S)has been upgraded to SSS-rank potential]
[Current Active Level: F-rank (Basic Vision Enhancement)]
[Note: Talent will automatically evolve as user grows stronger]
Theon felt the familiar warmth behind his eyes as his talent reignited, though much weaker than before. Still, it was something.
Moreover, it would grow stronger overtime too. He was simply too excited.
He experimented and saw it was simply limited to night vision and enhanced sight, making him see 100 meters ahead with 8k quality.
