Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

The two people continued to walk through the corridor without stopping. Angela wanted to complain, but she didn't want to talk to the youth anymore after their 'pleasant conservation' a while ago.

She also didn't want to chat with her system because Shane was rude as f*ck. For the first time in her life, Angela felt that talking wasn't a good thing to do.

She sighed as she pushed herself while holding the wall. Her knees throbbed at every step she took. Beads of sweat continued to roll down her forehead.

Even the young man's situation wasn't good. He was also suffering, but at least, being a man, he was faring better than the girl.

Shane continued to watch this scene and frowned. He glanced at the free body control item that still wasn't available and grimaced. What to do now?

He took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety in his heart. It was good. This wasn't the real world. So he didn't have to worry about someone dying for real.

He could still do his job with his conscience.

At this time, he received Jake's message: "Where the f*ck are we going?"

Ah, so this guy still didn't know that they were possibly trapped by that array monster. He hesitated for a while before replying, "We're still trapped."

"Huh? Really? Let me check!"

Shane tilted his head. He wondered how Jake was going to check this thing. As he was thinking, the man's reply came sooner than expected, "It really is the case!"

"How did you find out?" Shane couldn't help but ask.

"I have my items. It's a secret!"

Shane didn't bother to reply after this. He simply ignored the message box and continued to focus on the task at hand.

Angela suddenly fell to the ground and wiped her face, "This is insane. I've been walking forever! Hey, young man. Carry me!"

"Don't you have eyes?" The man growled as he took deep breaths and leaned onto his knee, "I'm also tired!"

"You're a man. You're supposed to treat girls like treasures," even Angela didn't know why she kept bothering this man. It seemed she still has a crush on him.

She sighed and said, "Forget it. I don't want to talk about it."

A hint of silence spread among them at this time. It wasn't awkward, but Angela felt that it was draining her the more she waited. It was almost like someone was sucking away her energy….

Her eyes widened at the realization as she immediately asked the system, "Don't you think I got tired way too fast? I'm still so young!"

Shane also seemed to have realized it as he sent the girl a package, "Buy the potions I sent you. It'll keep you going."

"Okay!"

For now, the situation got stable, but it couldn't be stable for long. Angela didn't have many Crana in her account. Ever since they entered, they all managed to get a portion of livestream income as commission, enabling the hosts to earn money and buy items from the shop.

So, she did manage to buy a few things earlier with that money, but it wasn't much. She glanced at the Crana option that displayed zero and pursed her lips.

She couldn't buy it anymore after this if she didn't get the livestream money. But what could she do? Sit back and wait to die?

Just as she was about to use the potion, she heard Shane speaking in her head, "Don't drink it now. Only when you feel like you're about to die, consume one bottle. You have five at the moment. Let me think of a solution until then."

Angela blindly trusted her system because she didn't have any other choice. She waited and waited until she felt her breathing slowing down. Her vision blurred as she immediately consumed the potion.

It couldn't do much, but give her a few minutes more to live.

Ah, when would this torture stop?!

Shane, on the other hand, knew exactly what he was doing. He was just trailing for extra time so that he could get control of the body. He glanced at his account balance that still didn't reach five hundred Crana.

He grimaced. What were the viewers doing? They should be showering him with gifts!

He sighed and decided to earn as much money through dungeons as possible after going back.

A few more minutes…..

Just a little more…..

Before he could continue to wait for more, he felt a dark aura pressing down on his body. He immediately glanced at the screen. It must be the feeling from shared senses.

That meant, the monster finally decided to attack them!

He glanced at the Crana which still wasn't enough as he texted Jake, "Let's take control of the bodies as soon as we get a chance."

"No!" Jake seemed to be anxious for some reason, "I don't have enough Crana, and I had used the free chance not too long ago!"

"Then…. What do you want to do?"

"Can you loan me some?"

Shane glanced at his own nearly empty account and replied coldly, "Do whatever you want. It'll be fine even if one of us fails. The goal of this exam isn't winning, but to test the systems. So we're good. These hosts are real."

"But…." Jake didn't reply after this.

Shane stopped focusing on the chat as he glanced at the screen. There seemed to be an outline of a big dog walking toward them in the dark. His nerves tensed as he felt Angela's anxiety through shared senses too.

The girl squealed as she got up on her feet. Her entire face paled, "Wh-What's that???"

"L-Lets run."

"Don't!" Shane spoke through her mind, "Running will drain you. This monster seemed to be of a dog's breed. Meaning, it'll be faster than you can ever imagine."

Before he could say more, the monster lunged at the hosts standing in the darkness of the corridor. Shane's eyes widened as he spoke, "Whatever happens, don't die."

He immediately selected a regular sword and urged Angela, "Take this and defend yourself!"

"But…." Angela was just speaking when she felt an extremely cold aura pressing down on her. She trembled as she stumbled back and stared at the figure that closed in on her in horror.

Her heart jumped to her throat as she stared at the monster whose features became clearer.

It wasn't a dog, but a giant wolf with a sharp canine. Its entire fur was as black as night, and it stared deeply with red eyes. A growl escaped its throat as a thin drop of saliva dropped from the corners of its mouth.

As soon as the monster opened its mouth, Angela saw red flesh sticking to its teeth. A gust of cold wind passed through her body as the monster's bad odor flooded her lungs.

But Angela didn't even have time to vomit when the monster attacked her.

Before it could reach her, the young man suddenly pulled the girl and blocked the monster with the sword, "F*ck, can you not freeze at a time like this?! Be a woman and fight! I'm not gonna help you again!"

The man's face was covered with cold sweat as he tried to push the monster.

Angela woke up from a trance as she pulled out a sword. She gripped it tightly with her trembling hands. Her entire body shook as she stared at the scene in front of her. The young man who had just helped her was bitten by the wolf as he screamed at the top of his lungs.

Now the hand that was holding the sword couldn't be used anymore. The young man fell to the ground as he stared at the monster and said, "F*ck! I died faster because of you! Help me!"

Angela's feet seemed to have been frozen at that moment. Tears poured down her cheeks as she raised her trembling hand.

Then…. She screamed at the top of her voice and lunged at the monster.

If she was going to die anyway, let us die while fighting this monster! She wanted to hurt this monster before dying!

As she attached the monster, the latter seemed to have sensed her approaching as he immediately changed his target and jumped toward her. Before anyone could even register what was happening, the monster was close enough to the girl to rip her entire body to shreds.

Shane, who was chewing his nails in anxiety, finally got the free chance he was waiting for! At the last moment, he immediately controlled the body and spread his aura throughout the corridor. As soon as he did that, the monster fell to the ground in the middle of the air in a comical manner.

He raised his head through Angela and walked toward the monster as he bent. His dark eyes stared at the curled-up monster's body that seemed to be trembling, "Go back."

The monster trembled even more at this time as it vanished from there.

The corridor disappeared, and they returned to the room. The door from where they had entered this place reappeared, and snakes also vanished out of the blue.

It seemed that what had happened starting from snakes was nothing more than a hallucination.

Both the young man and Angela fell to their knees as they stared at the empty room. Then the girl puked her guts out in the corner.

The two of them were still in shock at this time because of what had happened.
