Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

Stan and Shane were in a stalemate for a moment. Neither of them talked. Shane waited for the host to adjust while Stan was still in shock. The teenager didn't want to accept this at all.

Just as they were mulling over, the phone in the girl's pockets rang. Stan picked it up.

"Who's this?"

"Yo, Rose, can't you even see the name?" The voice was filled with disdain.

Stan blinked and still didn't realize who this person was! It was Shane who replied.

"It's Rose's cousin. She called to give you a job offer."

"Right now?" Stan was confused as to why he had to attend this phone call when a fate worse than death awaited him in this garden.

"Yes." Shane looked at the radar screen. "You still have to change your attire into that of a villain, don't you? The villain wouldn't do that unless she's forced to change. Other than a job opportunity, why would you change?"

"Then why did you make me enter the garden if nothing's going to happen now?"

"To leave evidence. You see a camera up there?" Shane pointed at the top.

Stan raised his head and saw a camera placed at the height of a tree. "What about it?"

"When the time comes, the police will confirm that the girl is the main villain by combining the evidence. This is one of the ways Marvin recognized you." Shane squinted his eyes. "The only difference is right now, Marvin is attached to the girl. So even if the evidence is placed clearly, he would find it difficult to accept it."

"Fine. I'll talk to her."

Just as Stan was about to say something, the girl on the phone spoke, "Hey, Rose, did you sleep on me? How dare you! Wake up!"

"Don't yell!" Stan rubbed his forehead as he said, "What do you want? I'm not in a good mood."

"Well, I've got a job opportunity for you." The girl seemed to have turned pages as the voice of flipping pages echoed in the background. "The wages are good. You have insurance and other benefits too. It seems…. Wait, what the heck? I'm sorry, Rose. You can't take this job anymore."

"Huh? Why?" Stan knew why, but he still acted innocent in his role.

"You're a girl, but this job is for guys…. I didn't see the eligibility."

"Send me the address anyway. I'll contact one of my friends who's in need." After that, Stan hung up the call.

His shoulders relaxed as he walked out of the garden. But when he remembered that he was heading toward the scene where many innocents would die, his shoulders turned stuff again. He decided to persuade his system once again.

"So…. You really won't focus on capturing the main villain behind the scenes?" Stan couldn't help but share his thoughts, thinking he was even more intelligent than Shane. "Like, you won't even have to let people be killed. You just said that person is hiding somewhere, right? Why don't we search the surrounding area and find out? You should have an invisibility cloak or something too, right? We really don't have "

"Really now? You want to perform on your own without my directions?" Shane's voice was filled with sarcasm. "You're welcome to start. Don't come at me crying because you failed."

Stan was silent after hearing that. Indeed, his system must have dealt with several murder situations in the past. So the current calculations should be the best according to the system's calculation. It was just that he didn't want to let people be killed.

He hesitated before accepting his fate. His mood dropped below zero degrees as he pursed his lips.

"Fine. But I'm not happy with this."

"Whatever." Shane didn't care a bit about this. "Let's get this over with."

The host then purchased another set of men's clothes with a hood, similar to what he had previously under Shane's direction. Of course, this aspect left an obvious trail behind that would be found later by the police and shock the world.

After that, Stan went into the alley and changed into those clothes before walking out with a calm face. At this time, his entire face was hidden inside the hood. No one could tell whether he was a man or a girl as his body was covered with baggy robes from head to toe.

Soon, he reached the place, an IT company with two guards standing on either side of the door. He walked over and tried to enter but was stopped by those guards.

The one with a scar on his face said, "State your purpose."

"Interview for the position of an intern…."

"The interview's over." The guard had a disdainful expression on his face. "You're an hour late. Go back."

Stan had a shocked expression on his face. Or rather, he was forced to be shocked as Shane guided him like a very good director. It was just that to make Stan's expressions realistic, he ended up showing the same bloody scene again.

So the teenager's face turned pale and shocked after watching it again. With difficulty, he opened his mouth:

"Alright."

After walking away, he scolded his system, "How dare you?! You really want me to embarrass myself, don't you? I was about to sh*t myself!"

Shane silently closed the window and shrugged. He didn't seem like he cared even a bit. This attitude made Stan even angrier.

Veins popped on his forehead. "Good! Be like that! I'll also ignore you!"

Stan continued to walk toward the garden. At this time, his appearance and mood matched how the villain would have acted. So Shane didn't say anything to calm his host.

The teenager grumbled something under his breath and continued to walk onward in steady steps. Soon, he reached the garden and he stood there at the entrance.

He suddenly opened his mouth and apologized, "I'm sorry."

Shane scoffed. "You finally came back to your senses."

Stan didn't want to, but he didn't seem to have any other choice. "Whatever. Tell me what to do."

"Go and sit by the bench beneath that tree. Just continue to sit there."

"What will happen after that?" Stan got nervous all of a sudden.

"Fire will start from the bench."

"F-Fire?!" Stan stuttered and looked at the bench carefully, not caring to sit.

"Have you forgotten about the fact that you've superpowers?" Shane sighed. "You can control several elements, including Fire."

"The only good thing about this world is that I can use magic!" Stan seemed to have been given hope in darkness only to be crushed after hearing Shane's next words.

"You won't get a chance. I'm sorry."

"Why?" Stan was truly shocked this time. "I do have powers, don't I?"

"Because we won't be following the same villainous fate after this." Shane sighed again as if he were really disappointed. "Did you forget we have to change the villain's fate? We won't be following the arcs after the girl's identity is revealed."

"Bu-But…. Weren't you urging me to follow through the arcs?" Stan hesitated for a while and sat on the bench.

"Only temporarily." Shane said impatiently: "Just follow what I'm saying. Don't utter a single word now."

"Okay."

"Now, call your cousin."

Stan pursed his lips and followed his system's words. The call went through as the other girl picked up.

"What's up? Didn't you have an interview?"

"They didn't even let me enter!" Stan tried to make his voice as soft as possible. "The interview was over an hour ago!"

"What the f*ck?!" Her cousin cursed under her breath. "Let me check…. Sh*t! You're right! How come I'm so clumsy?! I'm sorry. I'll let you know when another opportunity comes."

"Take care." Stan hung up the call.

"Host, you're getting better and better at becoming a girl." Shane was in a rare mood to joke.

"Shut up!"

They stopped talking after this. Slowly, a feeling that the place Stan was sitting was getting hot flooded his body. His entire body froze as he looked down.

The bench that had iron like color mixed with blue changed into boiling red. His eyes widened as he instantly got up and looked at the bench in shock. He gulped as the bench continued to get hotter and slowly melted.

The molten part of the bench fell to the ground. Hot fumes started arising in the air. Soon, the entire ground in the surrounding area started to burn. Sparks of fire appeared above, creating a heavenly scene. If it weren't for the fact that the entire garden was going to be burnt, this scene would have felt beautiful.

Stan's breathing nearly stopped. "W-What should I do?"

"Stand there. What will a girl do in such a scene? They are easily disturbed. So her body will freeze. Since her face is hidden in the shadows, people will misunderstand that she's doing everything. So, be good and act as if your entire body has frozen in shock."

"But I'm really shocked! I don't even have to act anymore!" Stan wanted to roll his eyes, but seeing the fire growing bigger and bigger, he couldn't.

He gulped. "I don't want to be burnt!"

"You won't. You're also a fire user with a special healing mechanism when triggered. I can safely assume that the trigger point should be a deadly attack."

Stan said nothing and stood there. His body was stiff at the moment and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He really didn't want to face what was coming in the future!
