Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

Everyone was shocked after hearing Sam's words. They looked at him speechlessly as they all went silent. Neither dared to pick up the cards as they eyed the bomb placed above it.

Sam silently picked up the bomb and put it back in his inventory, "I was just kidding about the bomb too. Don't take me too seriously. Strange voice, you can explain the rules."

The voice seemed to have choked up on its own as it went silent for the nth time because of Sam. even other hosts could feel their eyes twitching after hearing whatever the teenager said.

Shane was perhaps the only one who could laugh out loud. His host was seriously so entertaining. He never thought he would see such a scene in his life. Ever again!

After Sam was done, he raised his hands to touch the cards. Just then, the voice echoed.

"Ahem, players, hold your breaths. At least let me explain the rules before you go wild, yeah?"

Sam nodded and gestured for the voice to say.

The voice seemed offended after getting mocked like this, but it ignored the teenager and said, "Players, we have a change of event. You'll all die today just because of one teenager. That's right! I won't give you another chance! So you better start playing and entertaining me.

"The more I'm pleased, the better are your chances of living. And how am I going to be pleased? Simple," the voice paused as it uttered in a low, mysterious voice, "just make yourself hurt in more tragic ways!"

Everyone shuddered after hearing that. Only Sam and Nao stayed calm. The former's reaction was unnatural, but Nao remained calm and collected because she couldn't think of a better way to fight against this voice.

Sure, this voice wanted to be entertained, right? So they would do something completely opposite to their expectations. She would remain calm and collected, not even uttering a single word! She wanted to see how the voice would react after that!

Perhaps Sam's personality had affected her in a way.

Soon enough, the game started as the voice fell into the background. "Players, pick two cards each. Don't worry. It's already shuffled. You don't have to take a look at another's card. Those who cheat would succumb to death!"

Without wasting time, they all started picking up cards. Not to mention others, they didn't even dare to glance at their own cards.

Sam quietly glanced at his cards. It was eight of hearts and Ace of diamonds.

He silently held the two cards in his hands, not showing them to others. Soon enough, the voice echoed again. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

"Well done! You guys are becoming more and more obedient. I really like it! Now, circle around the table. Be quick!"

The people followed the command and actually stood a few meters away to circle the table. After they were done, the voice uttered more rules.

"One of you, a random person, will choose a card. If either has it, you'll have to stand aside and receive punishments. How does that sound?"

Was this a game? Nope! Instead, it was really the creator's perverted desire thrashing out in the open!

Everyone else was disgusted by this as they stood there. It grew angry when the voice saw that none of them were volunteering for this task.

"Really now? Fine. If I end up speaking out, I might take three of four people as punishment! I was being lenient on you guys, but it looks like you're all like a dog's tail!"

Nao finally opened her mouth first: "Six of spades."

The voice quietened down. No one seemed to have six of spades. Nao's shoulders relaxed at that. Just as she was about to say something, the voice's irritated tone echoed in the background.

"Really now? I just told you not to cheat, didn't I?"

Suddenly, the guy named Mat screamed at the top of his voice. His entire body fell to the ground, on his knees. The fingers that held the cards seemed to be bleeding…. No, his entire body seems to be bleeding. Even from his eyes, ears, and mouth, blood dropped out like a river. His pants soon filled with blood as ear piercing scream filled the entire place.

Later, the man fell to the ground with his eyes wide open in horror and extreme pain.

When others saw this scene, they couldn't help but shudder. This…. Would they also die like this?

None of them urged to hide their cards anymore. Even if they were tortured, it was way better than dying like this.

The young girl standing beside Nao opened her mouth as her body trembled. "King of hearts."

No one came forward. The young girl finally sobbed as she silenced herself. The man next to her spoke the next time.

"Eight of hearts."

Sam raised his brows as he looked down at his cards. "Here."

As soon as his voice fell, the cards in his hands started growing hotter and hotter until his skin burnt from holding, but he still didn't let it go. He also didn't utter a single thing. Just watching his hands getting burnt without any word.

It almost seemed like he was looking at someone else's hands getting burnt, not his.

When others saw this, they trembled and glanced at the teenager with a frightened gaze. If they were in his position, they would scream out loud, and they would first throw the cards away!

The voice spoke again. "Tch, I hate such people, purposefully acting like they don't feel anything. Fine! The next time, I'll really make you feel some pain! Next!"

Another person opened his mouth the next time. "Ace of diamonds."

Sam chuckled after hearing that. He raised his head and looked at the other person mockingly.

"Are you the voice's minion?"

Before that person could reply, he saw Sam's face losing its smile. Soon enough, the expression changed into that of an utter shock. He instantly looked down at his body, not being able to utter a single word.

Shane raised his brows. He wondered what the voice did to bring out such a reaction from his indifferent and cold host. He was about to ask something when he heard his host's voice.

"Don't! You have got to be kidding me! Who burns that place?! Come out, you piece of sh*t!"

No one dared to ask what that place meant. Even Shane grimaced when he realized what just happened. Suddenly, his gaze turned sympathetic as he sighed and shook his head.

It was a good thing that he had turned off sense sharing thing. He absolutely didn't want to share this kind of pain at all!

Just when everyone else was glancing around, the voice opened its mouth. "So this is what happens when you act. Just continue entertaining me. If not, I'll turn your nightmares a reality!"

Noa's face turned white after hearing that. It seemed that the voice had captured her thoughts and made this punishment a warning for people like her. She took a deep breath and decided to abandon her idea for a while.

For half an hour, all of them started to be tortured one after another in various ways. The game continued for five rounds, and everyone had to put the cards back, shuffle them, and pick two again. So the torture continued for quite a while. By the time it was over, everyone was either burnt or had several deep injuries on their bodies.

With the help of their systems, they had started to heal already, but the torture scene was still fresh in their hearts. They didn't think they could remain sane after coming out of this horrible mess.

Sam remained silent the entire time. Back then, when something down there got burnt, it was the only time when he reacted so strongly. He didn't react even though his toe got cut off. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

Other people thought he was insane, but he still remained calm. By the end of it all, other people slid down on the floor. Some hugged themselves between their knees and sobbed. People like Nao, who had leadership qualities in them, put on a brave face. Even then, you could still see a look of utter shock and pain in their eyes.

Only Sam's eyes remained calm. As if he had never felt anything at all during the torture.

Soon enough, the voice said, "Good! I'm delighted to see you all suffering like this!" the voice sighed. "Too bad. I blame it all on Sam. Why won't he react?! Looks like I'll have to increase the intensity of the torture next round. Anyways. Get ready for the next horror scene."

"No!" Emma, a young girl, stood up and yelled at the top of her voice, "Why are you? Why did you keep us here?! What the heck do you want from us?! Please, I-I want to go home! Leave us damn alone!"

The voice was silent for a moment. The entire time, an eerie silence spread around the place.
