Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

Everyone gathered around as they cautiously walked toward the corridor. They were still in a tranced state as they continued to walk on without even daring to blink. Their hearts were plunged into the deepest ocean of fright and terror.

They couldn't relax even if the task was as simple as walking. There should be a but factor here, right? Sam walked at the back, a few steps away. The one taking the lead was Nao, who looked almost like a boss of a company or something, ready to lead her team.

Shane sighed as he stared at the scene. He opened the host's stats as the Crana continued to increase. He raised his brows.

It seemed people really liked villainous personalities so much that ever since his host's real personality came out, the gift value almost doubled. Now, his host had almost gathered a few thousand Crana in his account.

He nodded in satisfaction as he sent the link to a set of a nuclear bombs having five pieces inside. It almost cost a thousand Crana, but Shane didn't care. His host already had more than enough money in his account.

As soon as Sam got the notification, he asked, "What did you send me?"

"It's the nuclear bomb. Take a look."

Sam nodded as he opened it. He directly made a purchase and glanced at the Crana. He hesitated but didn't continue his purchase.

"I have made my purchase. Should I start planting now?"

Shane thought for a while and said, "Let's first wait for a while. I have a bad premonition concerning this place. There's something wrong with this corridor. Perhaps it's in another realm. We might end up destroying another world altogether. Let's be careful for now."

"How do you know this corridor is connected to another realm?" Sam genuinely asked.

"There's a strange mist. The view outside the door is strange. If I hadn't peaked out of the ventilation, I would have been fooled too. This world is surrounded by darkness, nothing else. The things outside aren't the sky, trees, and the ground. There's only a blank space with nothing but stars.

"It's a realm floating in the vast universe without any piece of land supporting it. But the view outside the corridor that we see through the window seems to be filled with beautiful trees and shrubs, nothing like the scene I had observed. So let's wait until we get out of here."

Even though he could think of these things, other systems weren't like that. They instead decided to have their hosts plant bombs directly at this place.

One of the teenage girls with her hair tied above her head in a ponytail suddenly stepped back as she lagged behind Sam.

Even though she tried to act naturally, she indeed act suspiciously. Everyone glanced at her, but neither of them acted, but their backs tensed as they continued to glance in the girl's direction with pale faces.

She didn't act much as she continued to walk forward without any expression on her face. Only when she thought others couldn't see them that she finally opened her interface and planted a bomb. Just as she was about to brighten it, Sam suddenly appeared at that place and held her wrist.

"Don't. This isn't the horror realm."

The girl was stunned before she shook off his hand and glared at him. "What do you know? Just because you survived the first task doesn't mean you're all-knowing. Do you even know who my system is?! Do you?! He belongs to the top systems list! We have experienced several worlds together already, and he has helped me survive every single one of them! Don't doubt me anymore! F*ck off!"

Sam didn't continue to pursue the topic. He shrugged as he walked off. Before heading away, he turned back slightly.

"I warned you." After walking a few steps, Sam asked Shane, "System, what should we do?"

"Do nothing." Shane stretched as he kicked on the hooded girl's calves, earning a glare. "Wait for something to happen. You're powerful enough to save yourself from such a situation."

Sam said nothing as he glanced back and asked, "I want a magical weapon."

"Sure." Shane searched for the lightening related weapons and sent a sword similar to what he had been given by Dirt. "Here. Purchase this sword. Even though it can electrocute the enemies, it can't guarantee their deaths. It can paralyze the enemies, but they can still turn back and attack you. So be careful."

Sam purchased the sword and held it in his palms. "Something tells me I shouldn't kill the monsters approaching me."

Shane stopped speaking. He purchased a popcorn cup and ate while staring at the scene on the screen. Ah, how good would it be if he could get similar hosts every time? It would make his job even more simple.

As Sam continued walking, the mist thickened. The bomb that girl had planted seemed to have never echoed. Or perhaps, the realm might have swallowed it. Instead, the thickness of the mist around him increased to the point that he couldn't see anything in front of him clearly.

He could make out the shape of the trees and shrugs outside the window because of the light, but the mist made it hard for him to see beyond the first layer of trees and shrubs.

He squinted his eyes as a roar echoed from his behind. "Here goes nothing." f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

As soon as the monster approached him from behind, yelling nonstop, he raised his sword and pointed in the monster's direction. The scene in front of him was filled with fog. He muttered the spell written on his menu as a spark of electricity appeared from the sword, landing at the monster not far away.

The monster seemed to have roared loudly before silencing for a moment. Sam rushed in another direction as he heard another couple of roars from both behind and in front of him. He stopped in his tracks and frowned. He seemed to be thinking of something as he stared at the scene in front of his eyes.

He asked, "They aren't survivors, are they?"

Shane was also thinking in that direction. It could either be that all the people in front and that teenager behind him had turned into monsters, or it might all just be an illusion created by the mist. It was likely that the mist had created hallucinations to make them fight amongst themselves.

"Could be." Shane didn't share his thoughts, knowing well that his host would perhaps come up with those on his own.

Neither of them talked after this. Sam finally walked over as he jumped off the window, hanging outside over the frame. He put his sword back in his inventory as he pushed himself up with his hands that held the frame and looked inside.

He seemed to have seen a few monsters' forms appearing from one side colliding with a monster from the other. He couldn't make out their shapes, which made it difficult for him to find out the truth. So he just stood there without moving.

A hint of pain appeared in his arms, making him frown. He hesitated before asking:

"System, give me healing pills."

Shane quickly found the healing pills and sent them to his host.

After purchasing and eating the pills, Sam felt a cooling sensation throughout his body, making him warm. The pain disappeared, leaving behind plenty of energy for him to use.

He glanced inside. The monsters had already started fighting one another with their weapons. It seemed none of them used the spell weapons. So they could only use normal swords.

Sam frowned. Swords? When did monsters start using swords?

His hypothesis was confirmed. These monsters weren't monsters at all! They were the hosts who were turned into monsters because of the mist illusion!

It was a good thing he acted fast and got out of that mess. He was sure that in other people's eyes, he would also look like a monster. Soon enough, the fight turned bloody, but Sam didn't seem to have any intention of stopping it. He even had a spark in his eyes as he continued to watch the scene.

After a while, something happened and someone died. The mist withdrew automatically, revealing the real faces of everyone else. At this time, Sam also jumped back into the corridor. They were all shocked as the dead body of the person named Tiger lay on the ground, without moving a single bit.

Nao's hand reached for the blade that was inserted into Tiger's chest. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a moment. Then she used Tiger's robes to wipe off the blood and put the sword back in the inventory. She finally raised her head.

"What just happened?"

Even though everyone was shocked, they still got out of the daze faster this time, having to go through torturous scenes before. Killing a person seemed to have become a habit for them at this time.

The voice echoed in the background again. "Congratulations on surviving! Currently, only nine people are alive! Keep up the good work and continue to the next level! Are you ready?!"
