Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

When Norman looked through the world setting and closed the menu, he had a blank expression on his face. The expression soon changed to disbelief as he asked, "System, I have to destroy a freaking world?"

"That's right," Shane spoke without a hint of guilt in his heart, "You have to do it whether you like it or not."

'Similar to the way I'm doing,' Shane thought.

"But why? Why this world?" The host seemed to have a complicated expression on his face, "I understand that it's a world filled with monsters and demons who were responsible for destroying the humans, but why do I have to be responsible for this? Not all the monsters would be the same…."

Shane was silent for a while. He used to think like that a few weeks ago too. He knew too well that the human mind wouldn't work anymore after entering the system world.

You would have to kill the monsters, survive in the wild, and become selfish to keep your life in the system world. It was a cruel yet enlightening place that showed him the ultimate reality of everything.

Shane knew that his host was still naive as an ordinary human being. He sighed and said, "Host, let me be honest with you, do you really mean that?"

"What do you me-"

"Did you really mean what you just said?" Shane's eyes squinted, "Humans tend to act like they have empathy when they don't. You're a selfish person, but because you will 'look' kind and compassionate like some protagonist of a story, you act as if you care. Do you actually care about other beings as much as you're showing?"

Norman was silent for a moment. He wanted to refute his system, but when he thought deeply about it, he knew those words were correct. He was tongue-tied at the moment.

He opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice, "What do I need to do?"

The corners of Shane's lips curved up, "We'll possess the body of the most powerful monster here. Don't worry. I'll guide you to find that person."

Norman nodded as he obediently floated outside the fog, finally facing the dark world filled with black sky and ground bathed in the color of blood. Monsters surrounded the entire planet as they walked here and there like headless flies. Some of them were busy fighting one another in groups, creating even more bloodshed.

A scrap of buildings made the entire scene look like an apocalyptic view from a zombie movie. Norman sighed and said, "Fine, the world's already almost destroyed anyways."

"Good," Shane released the breath he was holding. To be honest, he didn't know if he could convince the man older than him, but he thought of himself and how to best convince his younger version. The things he said just now to his host were the words he would most likely speak in front of his younger version.

After deciding what to do, Shane instantly opened the radar only to see his screen filled with red dots of different shades. His eyes blinked as he tried to find the most powerful monster. When he noticed his target, he immediately told his host about the location and said, "Let's go! We need to possess his body and command everyone else to destroy this world."

Shane frowned after saying that. How come his mission this time was so simple? It was as if he didn't need to use his powers anymore.

He didn't think too much about it as his host started walking onward. Soon enough, they both reached the place where the most powerful monster was located—an old palace filled with broken walls and wines all over the place. The air surrounding that area was filled with the scent of blood and mud.

Norman wrinkled his nose in disgust. He covered up his nose with the back of his hand, "What the heck is this? What smells so bad?"

Shane frowned. He shouldn't have turned off the shared senses feature. He sighed and turned it on swiftly as a gush of strange scent filled his nose.

His facial muscles twisted to form a disgusted expression on his face. He didn't utter a word but carried on watching the entire scene through the screen.

After walking forward, Shane finally realized what smelled so bad. The entire place was filled with monsters' bodies lying on the ground. Not a single one of them was alive as limbs of a few dead bodies were thrown here and there. Some monsters' faces were even crushed as their eyeballs rolled out of their eyes.

Almost all the monsters had insects crawling on their bodies.

Shane averted his eyes as if he didn't want to watch this kind of scene anymore. He was at least in a better condition, but he could feel his stomach churning as he felt the acidic bile climbing to his throat.

The host was going to puke. He instantly turned off the sense-sharing thing as he watched the floating ghost puking dark energy out of his body.

Shane looked at the scene expressionlessly for a while before silently turning on that senses function without saying anything when the host's expression returned to normal. Norman took deep breaths as he fixed his expression and said, "I apologize for that."

"Let's go. We still have a lot of things to do."

Soon enough, they managed to come face-to-face with the monster they were supposed to possess. The thing in front of Norman, sitting on the white marble throne with its furry legs spread.

The most outrageous thing was that the monster's manhood was hanging between the legs as it sat just like that without any hint of shame on his dog-shaped furry face with canines. Norman's expression turned frosty as he glared at the monster, "What the heck is this?!"

Even Shane's expressions weren't right after watching this shameless monster, but he could still control himself as he forced a chuckle, "You have to possess this monster."

"You've got to be kidding me!" Norman yelled in his mind as he glared at the monster, "It doesn't even have a decent pair of clothes!"

"It's a monster, what do you expect?"

Norman wanted to continue complaining, but he stopped and asked, "How do I do this?"

Shane also didn't know as he suggested, "Let's try getting inside the monster first."

Norman nodded as he floated toward the monster and entered his body, but before he could rejoice, he realized that he hadn't entered the body. He seemed to have passed through the monster.

Even the latter couldn't see a ghost wandering around, trying to possess its monstrous body. The more Norman tried, the more frustrated he got. In the end, he had a layer of cold sweat on his ghost body as he looked at the monster in a frustrated manner.

It seemed to be deeply asleep with its furry hands and the claws resting against its chin. Norman glared once more at this monster, "Why is this happening? Shouldn't I possess it easily because of my ghost nature? System, do something!"

Shane frowned as he opened his host's stats only to raise his brows.

The stats showed that the ghost was on the tenth level with one skill at hand. Surprisingly, Norman could control both divine and dark energies in different forms!

This was new!

Shane's eyes shone with curiosity as he coughed and said, "Open your menu and look at how many skills you have. Maybe you can get a clue from there."

Norman nodded as he followed the instructions. After a while, he gasped in surprise, "So this is why I couldn't do it all this time. It turns out, I have to utter a spell to be able to possess the body. And it also says that I can't just possess without a fight."

​ His brows furrowed, "What does it mean without a fight? How can I fight in my ghost form?"

Shane said nothing as he replied, "Let's use the skill first."

The ghost opened his mouth and repeated those words without any delay. Soon after that, a bright light shone from the ghost's body as the latter flashed toward the monster, entering his body with ease.

The monster's body twitched for a while and then stopped.

At this time, Norman entered the mind of the monster as the latter's body stood at the center of blank space. Norman was surprised, "Is this the monster's soul?"

Shane shook his head, "It's not easy to see the soul. This is most likely the mental image of this monster. As long as you defeat it, you will be able to possess it fully."

The host narrowed his eyes, "How do you know these things?"

"Well…." Shane coughed, "I just do."

He wasn't going to tell his host that he was just assuming that this was the most probable solution based on the current situation. Aside from this, they had nothing to do anyway. It was better to kill it first and see what happens.

Norman still didn't believe his system's words, but he decided not to care about it any longer. He said, "Then give me a weapon. I'll fight this monster."

Shane shook his head, "Before that, let's make a purchase and buy as many skills and weapons as possible."

He could see that this person's attributes were lightning and darkness. Was it having a ghost body that led the host to be able to use dark energy? He would definitely make it useful!
