Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Keke~

"Great! My overall attribute stats were much higher than that weakened low devil!

"The only difference between us is our comprehension of certain rules. If I guess correctly, I bet that his rule that was related to flame almost reached the staggering 70-80%!

"Making his strength equivalent to the peak stage of the core formation realm!"

Taking a deep breath, enjoying the rotting fragrance of old flesh and worms that linger within the stalactites above and the water beneath...

Leo unhurriedly closed his character panel, leisurely gazing toward the damp atmosphere in his surroundings, slowly sensing the temperature within that began to drop due to the passage of time above the surface.

Pondering deep within himself regarding his next course of action.

Other than increasing his overall strength and realm, Leo decided to finally start planning on how he could advance his class job to Elite rarity.

He remembered, that he would learn another two new skills if he managed to upgrade it into Elite grade!

Unfortunately, killing 50 beings by solely relying on the "Curse" skill was full of uncertainty and difficulties in his opinion... Since he would never know when the curse energy would finally erupt within the victims being before eventually reaping their lives due to inexplicable reasons.

Furthermore, a single session of cursing almost takes an hour and at least 10% of his overall Qi in the process. Making it extremely costly, causing his progress so far to become extremely slow...

Other than cursing the low devil, Leo was still cursing the unknown woman and the man who escaped within his grasp before the disaster in the town struck. Costing him at least 4-5 hours a day just for Cursing them!

"Sigh~ It's really hard to become a good person... Making me always treat my victims equally."

In addition to that, other than killing 50 beings by solely relying on cursing, Leo still needed to heal 50 beings who were on the verge of death! Making the requirements to upgrade his class job much harder when he upgraded it into an "Uncommon" rarity!

Unfortunately, he couldn't injure a living being, making it on the verge of death before healing it completely since the system wouldn't count it in!

Not allowing him to cheat his way through the success!

...

Huff~

"I guess I could only wait for another opportunity to arise.

"Unfortunately, my Qi already ran low when the fight between me and the low devil ended, if not, I could at least increase the meter of one of my class job requirements by healing those greatly injured mortals..."

Although Leo could heal the greatly wounded beings at that time by spending all of his Qi, he decided to abandon that thought previously, wanting to leave some of his Qi in case an accident suddenly arose... Allowing him to have the ability to protect himself from the unexpected.

"Still, as a being with thoughts, I couldn't help but slightly regret my decision back then..."

Shaking his head, burying those negative thoughts behind his back, Leo leisurely manipulated the devil puppet on the ground, unfolding an evil smile on his face as plans began to form within his mind...

Allowing him to increase the requirements of one of his class jobs if he successfully applied the plan in his mind, although uncertain.

"Keke~ I guess I would finally visit the town after days of absence..."

"Strange... Do any of you could feel that the cemetery suddenly changed somehow? It felt extremely gloomy but at the same time lively?"

Gazing at the faint mist that lightly shrouded the rusting gate of the bland cemetery in the far distance, Jake who was holding an exquisite and glinting wooden bow in his left hand- a testament that it was his Soul Bound Weapon when it slowly became incorporeal as it hurriedly drilled toward his lean physique...

Couldn't help but ask the group beside him, showing confusion on his head as he unhurriedly scanned the place with the elevated senses of an Archer.

This...

However, surprisingly, as if being covered by imperceptible thick mist, Jake couldn't pry toward the depths of the cemetery. Only allowing him to perceive 25 meters beyond the rusting gate, making him unfold an interesting look on his face as a conclusion emerged within his mind.

"An array that could greatly restrict one's senses? Hehe, Leo probably was hiding something within that he didn't want strangers to know...

"He probably got a wife! And dozens on top of that!"

Boom!

Jake hadn't even finished speaking yet when suddenly, a fist abruptly hit the back of his head, causing him to lose his balance in the process as his face heavily hit the soft ground below.

"I already got enough of your nonsense! Of course, it's to avoid the prying of the Core Formation realm beings!"

Retracting her fist from the atmosphere, Rosa unfolds a wide smile on her face, finally managing to exact her revenge regarding what Jake said when they were still fighting the unending beast's tide within the depths of the Endless Forest.

Patting her fist lightly in order to show Jake how she felt disgusted upon touching the back of his head, causing the latter to snort to himself before mumbling weakly under his breath.

"That old woman, her strength drastically increased when she advanced toward the Core Formation realm..."

...

"What did you just say? Who is the old woman!? I'm still in my twenties! My late twenties!"

Unfortunately, with the elevated senses of a Core Formation realm being, Rosa still managed to hear what Jake just said, causing her to summon her almost 2-meter staff from the void- clearly wanting to teach Jake a good lesson that he wouldn't forget.

Cough!

"Stop already, we came here to visit Leo not to destroy his place."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unfortunately, before Rosa could smash her staff toward Jake's head, the thick hand of Roland suddenly stopped the descending staff with ease...

Making Rosa grit her teeth angrily as she beholds Jake in the short distance unfolding a smug smile on his face.

"Hmmp, just wait until we leave the cemetery, I will ensure that no one can guess your appearance when we return to the town."

Snorting in vexation, Rosa hesitantly unsummoned her green staff, showing a savage glint within her eyes as she watched Jake's every move... Clearly wanting to find a good opportunity to bash his head without allowing him to escape.

Sigh~

"Hurry up, we still need to go back to the town before the night arrives...

"I'm sure, you all don't want the same thing to happen again to the town when they lack the manpower since most of the core formation realm beings entered the depths of the Endless Forest."

Seeing that Rosa still harbour anger within her eyes, Sebastian couldn't help but interrupt, causing the atmosphere within to quiet down momentarily as they all nodded their head in understanding afterwards...

Couldn't help to remember the scene of the town when they all went back from the depths of the Endless Forest.

Hehe~ Haha~

Seeing the depressing atmosphere that hung above the heads of the group. Kristine, who happened to be beside Roy was about to open her mouth to speak in order to lighten the mood when suddenly, out of nowhere, an innocent laugh that originated from behind the rusting gate of the bland cemetery abruptly reverberated toward their direction...

Causing them to pause on their tracts as they instinctively raised their guards. Feeling strange all of a sudden as a slight fear emerged within their consciousness due to the strange effects that the innocent laugh carried.

This...

Immediately activating his senses skill, Jake who was staring toward the direction of the rusting gate couldn't help but unfold an incredulous expression on his face.

Beholding a small being with a height similar to a 1-year-old child walking toward their location...

Walking toward them slowly and strangely, as if it was still not used to walking with its two feet.

Hehe~ Haha~

Exiting the mist that slightly shrouded its being, the group finally saw the porcelain figure and extremely pale face of the doll. Making them pause in slight fear as they behold how its face began to crack under their watchful eyes...

Watching how the hole on the child's porcelain face began to ooze with rotting flesh, dyeing the ground with its madness.

In addition to its almost realistic appearance, to the point that they began to doubt if it was really a living being or not. The group couldn't help but feel that their stomach began to churn upon smelling the disgusting scent it was releasing- causing them to unconsciously gulp before they hurriedly covered their nostrils.

"Hehe~ Hello! Are you... the guess of... my master?"

Seeing that the beings in the far distance began to take out their cold weapons, the doll puppet hurriedly spoke with difficulty...

Resisting the urge to flee upon sensing their strong aura that was only below his master, making the doll puppet unable to control her body in the process, causing it to react on itself...

Hence, making her excrete the flesh hidden within her little being.
