Chapter 2 - The Wish Tax

I couldn't quite remember what happened to me. I know I was reading my favorite light novels in my room but I couldn't remember what happened afterwards. My mind went blank and as I woke up I remembered hearing the words 'Eternal Lonely Star'.

[Character Profile]:

[Name - Zun Lin]

[Ttitle - Eternal Lonely Star]

[Wish fragment - 0 / ?? ]

[Skill - None]

[Strength - Dissipated into thin air]

Huh?? Wait . . didn't I die? Wait I think I've seen these in anime, manhwa, and light novels but I've never seen wish as being part of some sort of system. It seems I need to say my title out loud to see my character profile. I've forgotten my name but it seems that according to the character profile my name is Zun Lin ?

If I'm alive that means there was some sort of divine intervention with my death. However, this is clearly a new world and a new body. I might've transmigrated but I'm not too sure. Currently I am just standing on a cliff side on molten lava rocks and can clearly see an enormous volcanic mountain? It's not a volcano yet its bleeding lava.

I also see demonic figures but they don't seem evil.

Where am I?

Could I still be alive due to my Wish?

[Hello, Zun Lin]

Who said that?

[I did]

Yes, but who are you? And why are you speaking in my head?

[You've summoned your wishas you saied wish, or did you perhaps not mean to?]

I didn't know, I don't know anything could you tell me where I am?

[Well, I can help you out with anything you need, however, there is a price. It is called the Wish Tax, and depending on the level of help that you require it will be based on that the level which the price will be]

I don't have money so I am not sure how I would pay any price.

[You're right. Your broke. That's not that currency I need though]

What do you need then?

[Pain]
