Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

The woman scoffed seeing Shane's mouth open agape. "Close your mouth. You don't seem to have much experience, do you?"

Shane pursed his lips and slowly shook his head. Since he couldn't even know he could enter a host with his partner, he could be considered inexperienced. He used to think a host could have only one system….

The woman seemed to see through his mind. "You're right. You're the original system, but I'm only your helper."

"Wait a min…." Shane frowned. "Hadn't you come before me? How come I'm the system of this host?"

"Because as soon as you came, I handed over the command to you."

"Why?"

"I'm too lazy to work." The woman sat on the ground and said, "Now, start working. I just want to lay back and observe for a while. Don't worry, I'll help you whenever I can."

Shane's expression twisted as he glared at the woman in front of him. "Who do you think you are? A queen?!"

"Exactly!" The woman flicked her fingers. "So behave."

Veins popped up on Shane's forehead. "Even if you're a queen, I'm neither your servant nor your citizen! Why are you commanding me like this? If that's the case, I'd rather work alone!"

For a second, the woman seemed to have stiffened after hearing those words. Then she let out a chuckle.

"I was just kidding. Why are you being so serious?" The woman sighed. "There's a reason why I handed over the command. I'm not….really good at handling horror scenes."

Shane stared at the hooded woman for a moment, not believing his ears.

Not handling horror scenes well? Was she scared of horror aspects? All of a sudden, he had the urge to laugh, but considering the other person was a girl, and a fierce one at that, he covered up his mouth with his fist and coughed it out.

"Why isn't the host saying anything?"

"Um…." A teenage voice echoed outside the space. "I can hear you both, you know?"

Shane raised his brows. "So host, you have two systems inside your brain. How are you feeling?"

"To be honest, I was scared, but after hearing you two flirting-"

"Excuse me, what?" Shane couldn't believe his ears.

In just what way was that flirting?! Was his host blind and deaf?!

"Let's focus." Shane took a deep breath and decided to control his anger.

He immediately opened the radar and considered a certain girl invisible. The latter also didn't utter a single word as she hummed a tune. He frowned. Why did he feel like that tune was familiar?

He shook his head and continued to observe the surroundings through the screen and radar.

The host was currently curled up against a cold wall. They were inside a small enclosed room with nothing but ventilation at the top. There wasn't even a door here.

He frowned and asked, "Do you remember anything before you came?"

The host scratched the back of his neck and shook his head after thinking for a while. "Perhaps I was a high school student? Otherwise, why would I be a teenager?"

Shane didn't think so. This person could be a transmigrator who came here, but the rules of this world were probably to forget everything about the past temporarily. So the problem was, all the hosts here would end up thinking they were their bodies instead of realizing they also had a soul.

Shane suddenly felt like he had been given a heavy task at hand. He took a deep breath and glanced at the woman.

Then he said, "Don't worry about your identity. For now, just know that your name is Sam."

"Okay!" The host paused for a while before he opened his mouth. "Um, how do I get out of this place?"

"Host, you're in a stimulating horror gaming world, and you have come here with a mission. After passing it, you will be able to go back to your original world and remember who you are!"

The hooded woman clicked her tongue. "I didn't know you could speak in such a cheerful tone."

Shane glared at the woman and cleared his throat. "So host, let me send you the world setting and mission objective. Take your time to read."

The world was simple. There were twenty hosts locked up in twenty different rooms. They all had a time limit under which they'd have to get out of that enclosed place. Only fifteen were allowed to escape and others would be killed.

After that, the world seemed fairly normal, similar to a second-grade horror game with various levels to pass. There was also a reward at the very end for people who managed to reach the first level.

But the ones who reached that level wouldn't remain normal people. The reward was to give the winner a chance at fulfilling a wish but the hosts would be in such a shock that they would always ask to be killed instead.

This world turned into a tragedy with no one getting out alive, rendering it a useless and dangerous place. So it was quite mandatory to destroy this world.

Shane and the host finished reading as the latter opened his mouth. "How do I destroy this world though?"

"Good question." Shane coughed as he forgot to read the details himself while arguing with that damned woman. "Let's first think about getting out of here."

Sam nodded and got up from the ground, glancing in all directions. He squinted his eyes and stared at the room. After a while, he scratched the back of his neck in a confused manner.

"Um….. I can't see any difference in this room. How do you get out of here?"

Shane facepalmed. Looks like he had to do everything by himself again. He couldn't rely either on his host or his partner who was shamelessly sleeping off. He had the urge to beat her up, but since she was a girl, he wouldn't raise his hand no matter how much he wanted. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

He cleared his throat again to dispel all the useless thoughts and focused on the scene in front of his eyes. At this time, he could see whatever the host saw through the screen.

He stared at the room with squinted eyes. There must be something that could provide him with an opening. He glanced around with utter focus, and after a while, he did find something.

There was a small hole in the wall. He would have missed it for sure if he hadn't looked on carefully.

He opened his mouth and said, "To your north. There's a hole in the wall."

Sam walked over and he really did see a hole. He went closer and closer and closer until he and the hole were face-to-face. Then he stared at it for a moment before putting his finger over it.

The hole was way smaller than the finger, but as soon as he put his hand there, the hole started growing further in circles. Slowly, the sound of bricks rubbing together echoed in the small room. Dust rose in the air as Sam stumbled back.

His face paled further.

"Wh-What's happening?"

Shane didn't respond as he stared at the scene in front of him. After the dust settled and the sound finally stopped, a door appeared in front of his eyes.

He said, "Let's go. Others might have come out too."

When Sam walked out of the room, the first thing he noticed was a giant hall having several doors on both sides. The hall had nothing but ventilation windows above. He couldn't even see anything outside. So he gave up on it and went through the walls. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

This time, there wasn't any triggering aspect, and he was all alone. He frowned and continued to search.

Shane leaned back and let his host do whatever he wanted. He thought of how he could finish the mission this time.

The task was to destroy the entire horror realm. Nothing more, nothing less. It was feasible to use any method necessary for this. His eyes narrowed at that.

Perhaps he could guide others to fight amongst one another….

No. That was a slow process and might take longer than necessary. His host might not even end up being alive at the end of the task.

Another thing he could do was blast the entire space. After all, he had to destroy this world by hook or by crook. He might ask well urge his host to purchase the bombs and place them on several parts of the world.

But when he glanced at the Crana level of his host, he frowned. It was zero.

Damn. He had forgotten that his host might not have the heavenly currency.

So what else?

Just as he was thinking, others also appeared. People gathered in the hall one after another. They were all teenagers, but neither of them talked. As soon as they all gathered together, a tough male voice echoed in the background:

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the horror house. Thank you for choosing to enter this realm."

Shane raised his brows at those words. So it seemed the hosts themselves decided to enter. Interesting. The realm must have offered some benefits they couldn't ignore.

"Let's start the first test! After this, the chosen ones will be urged ahead. At the end of this entire thing, the winners will not only get their money back, but they'll also get to make a wish. They can even be the most popular and rich people in the universe!

"So what're you waiting for?! Let's initiate the sequence, shall we? Here are the rules: kill the person next to you."
