Everyone Else Has a System

Reaper ran and jumped from one building to another and then leapt forward at full speed.

-I am in front of the Casino Square. Care to tell me what's going on? I was busy-

"Check the alley behind you, there is a baby thrown in that dumpster, immediately check for its vitals," cutting off the female voice, he commanded that person with a voice which was filled with urgency and a tinge of rage in them.

-Click

Reaper cut the call and increased his speed, pushing himself to his limits.

His eyes were fixated on the front and after running for a while, he finally reached in front of Casino Square, where a white-haired girl in her 20s was standing with a serious expression on her face. There was a dirt covered baby in her hands and that girl looked at Reaper. It took her a few seconds, but when she observed the build of Reaper and the way he was moving; she realised it was Zero. With rage in her eyes, she spoke,"she is alive. Who did it?!"

Reaper observed the baby and immediately checked for its vitals. They were low, but the baby survived. His eyes then suddenly reached a girl at a distance, making him narrow his eyes at her. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

"Lucia? Eliza!!" Cristine spoke as she looked at her sister, who was there with Lucia beside her. From the looks of it, Lucia and Eliza followed Cristine, wondering where she was going in such a hurry at this time of the night.

Though, right at this moment, Reaper couldn't care less about such things. His rage, which was escalating little by little as he observed the casino behind.

"Take care of that girl," Reaper spoke as he began moving towards the casino, one step at a time. He wanted to hide the identity of Reaper and slowly reveal it to the world one step at a time, but… sometimes, some things are necessary.

Cristine looked at Eliza, who immediately moved towards her. Looking at Eliza, Cristine spoke,"take her to the nearest hospital. I will be back after cleaning some scum." and then put on a black mask that covered her whole face. Her white hair then changed into dark black as she began walking towards the casino behind Reaper.

Eliza nodded at her as she took the baby in her hands. "Make sure they die brutally," she spoke before vanishing from there.

Lucia, who was observing everything with intent eyes, first pondered over the pros and cons of this… before sighing as she thought, 'I will get answers from Cristine later… it better be worth it,' and then she called a certain number and spoke,"Spike. I need you to get that professional hacker to erase all the footage of what is going to happen in and around Casino Square, both now and before it. Also, make sure that even he forgets everything that he will see."

Lucia then cuts the call and then immediately calls someone else,"There are some changes in plans. I am picking up the energy of the Queen's amulet. Based on the current situation, we are sending all our forces there. Yeah… okay… all right. I will inform you after everything is over."

Lucia then cuts the call before looking at Reaper and Cristine, almost at the gate of Casino Square. Her eyes then focus on Reaper for a few moments before…

[The person in front of you hates you to the core. Enough to kill you mercilessly.

The person in front of you loves you to the deepest of his desires. Enough to fight against the whole world for you.]

She sighs before looking at the direction from where the amulet's energy was coming and then moving towards it.

Meanwhile…

Reaper, with a scythe in his hand, reached the gate of Casino Square. His eyes, dark red, observed the guards who were coming towards him. They looked down at Reaper as they began speaking.

"Listen kid-

-Splash

And Reaper slashed him down in a swift move as he continued moving forward.

-Wiss

-Wiss

Cristine uses her needles to immobilise the other guards who were coming towards them. They wriggled in pain before finally losing their consciousness. Reaper kept moving forward and entered the huge gate of the casino and he turned back at Cristine and spoke.

"Make sure no one escapes."

Cristine looked at Reaper as she wanted to say that she too will enter the casino, but as soon as she saw Reaper's eyes she realised that it will be better if she does as he says.

Reaper then turned around and entered the Casino and as more guards began coming towards him, the faster Reaper began moving them and then.

Harvesting each and every guard's head, Reaper kept killing them left and right. The people at the casino, scared of what was transpiring, began running away from there haphazardly.

Blood of those guards whom Reaper killed kept dyeing Reaper more and more red as time passed.

Reaper then looked at about 100s of men coming from the other side, wearing black suits with weapons in their hands. Zero then took a small breath and closed his eyes as he spoke,"Shadow Style: Harvester's Season" before dark magic began flowing throughout the scythe, increasing its size to 3 times than what it was.

Opening his almost black eyes, he observed every person who he deemed to be killed and then…

-Dash

-Swish

He reaches closer to one and swings his scythe, killing one…

-Dash

He moves forward and then kills a couple of guards in his path before reaching the centre of about 8 guards who were walking towards him and then…

-Slash

Rotating his scythe in 360 degree he harvested them in one fell swoop. Looking at his moves, all the other guards took a step back in fear.

Blood kept gushing out of those men's bodies and dyeing everything red all around, especially Reaper, who looked as if he had taken a bloody bath.

Dyed in red, with dark black eyes and a magnificently huge scythe in his hands, he looked around at everyone. His eyes searched for that one particular man who was responsible for what happened with that child.

He then looked up at where the other men were looking at him. It was a big building with about 12 floors with a wide area cover. Each and every floor had about hundreds of men looking at Reaper standing down there.

-Swish

Reaper parried a bullet shot at him from one of those men who was above, before more and more people started shooting at him. Some use their magic skills while others use their weapon throwing ability.

"Density Manipulation: Unreachable," spoke Reaper as he created about hundreds of shields around him, changing the direction of incoming projectiles.

While there were thousands of projectiles coming at Zero from all the directions, none managed to reach even close to him. Soon after that,

-Dash

Started the harvester's season as Reaper began mercilessly killing each and every man who was targeting him. He didn't care what kind of men they were… if they belonged to a group which can openly kill children, then death would serve them a better purpose than living.

Even though he had to save as many as he could from the Cataclysms, killing a few worthless greedy scums won't change the future plans… in fact it might even make things better since there would be less scum in the future who might disrupt the plans.

Reaper kept going on for half an hour without stopping as he kept searching for those two particular men. A few moments after that,

"Mr. REAPER!!! REAPER!!! STOP IT!!! THAT IS ENOUGH!!! PLEASE STOP IT!!!" A loud voice from a mike came from a distance and Reaper turned his head and observed the man shouting from the microphone at a distance on a helicopter .

He was looking at Reaper with both pity and fear in his eyes. He didn't want his saviour to become a battle craze maniac who kills without any purpose.

'Inspector General of Security, Claus Roan,' thought Reaper as he observed Roan. Roan was one of the men whom Reaper helped out of the facility.

Now that Reaper took a proper look, most of the people who escaped that facility with Reaper, were here along with Clair, who was standing in front of all of them.

"I brought all of them… just as you said. Though, it looks like you yourself could handle them… why did you call all of us?" Clair asked as she looked at Reaper with a slightly scared yet confounded look.

'Because, I don't want to be unprepared, if anything goes wrong,' Reaper thought as he looked at Clair, but before he could speak anything…

-BOOOOM!!!!

Someone was pushed off the top floor and began falling down on the ground. Reaper's eyes shrink as he sees the person falling down….

It was Lucia who looked brutally beaten by someone.

Then a man came outside of the room where Lucia fell off from. It was a familiar face with an unfamiliar aura.

"Freedom at last. Finally!" exclaimed a feminine voice coming from an aged man who had the exact same face as that of Mark Ingrid, the father who begged Zero to save his daughter.
