Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

"Escape. Don't attack them!" Even Shane could tell his host couldn't fight them. Of course, Shane could use his power-sucking skill to deal with them, but it would abruptly reveal his powers to others.

Unless he could actually do it through his host, he wouldn't reveal the dark energy in front of the public. The systems didn't need to continue using the livestreams at all times. They could use it whenever needed, but since this was an exam, it was a critical aspect to help the invigilators evaluate everything.

Now that he thought about using his skill, there was a way to let his host use it temporarily since Norman's attribute was also the same. It was just that other systems were also doing the same job. They also had a 'Norman' ghost as their hosts with the darkness attributes. If he did anything out of the line, he might end up getting exposed.

If only he could find a way to sell his skill…..

As soon as he got the idea, Shane immediately texted Dirt through his private channel. Since the robot made it easy for him to contact the latter, he would use it for his benefit, "How do I sell my skill?"

"You just have to share the code to your skill in a selling form along with your appropriate rate," Dirt replied instantly and sent another text, "This is a good idea, though. You can lead everyone else to use this skill. Just, don't share your contact info with the form. Let me send you a hoax email ID. You can share that instead."

Shane nodded in satisfaction. It was so good having a robot at his disposal to help him whenever he was in need. His shoulders relaxed as he got the form and a hox email ID in the next text. He immediately opened his skill window and copied the code from there before opening up the form.

After a few minutes, Shane had already done everything he could. He sold his skill at a thousand Crana peruse and sighed. Then he shut down the window and stared at the scene in front of his eyes only to be shocked.

He was silent for a while as he stared at the sea of monsters at a close distance. He didn't think his new host would be so stupid. This host was different from the previous ones because they were all teenagers and mentally kids. So they never listened to his warnings.

But the current host seemed to be intelligent and less arrogant. So technically, Norman should have listened to that warning and run away while he was selling his skill. But now….

Veins popped up on Shane's forehead, "What the heck are you doing?"

Norman's body was covered with wounds as cold sweat formed on his forehead, "What do you think? I was trying to escape when these monsters attacked! I called you so many times! What the heck were you doing?"

Shane pursed his lips as a trace of guilt filled his heart. He coughed and said, "Well, I have a piece of good news. I have found you the perfect skill to fight demons and monsters. We can make a purchase right now."

Norman didn't even have enough time to be surprised by the news. His life was currently on the line as he tried to find a way out of his current situation. Just when he thought he would be saved, another monster attacked him in the nick of time, making him stumble and fall to the ground.

Ugh, so embarrassing!

Shane couldn't help but press his fingers against his temples. Even though his current host was better than his previous ones, it didn't mean he was the best. Shane could see traces of clumsiness when the man was trying his best to fight the monsters.

He took a deep breath and said, "When I say you escape, do it without hesitation! If you wait, this is what happens to you! Why didn't you listen to me the second I said the words?"

"I-I was trying to find an opportunity to escape!" Norman was lying. He wanted to see whether he could fight these monsters or not. He knew that he had to escape, but he was also a man. He didn't want to accept defeat so easily.

He pursed his lips. This was his fault, but he wasn't going to accept it in front of his system and embarrass himself like this."

Shane's eyes narrowed, and he didn't comment anymore about that topic. He opened his mouth and said, "Forget it. Let's go."

After fighting for a while, Norman finally managed to escape, but his entire body was filled with blood and injuries on several parts of his skin. He grimaced as he stumbled on the dried ground filled with blood all over the place. He was currently walking toward a cave he had noticed not far away from the palace. It was just that the cave was located in the most conspicuous place. If it wasn't for Norman accidentally managing to enter this area, he wouldn't have found this place at all!

After entering the cave, Norman finally couldn't stand anymore as his body slid down the wall. He instantly opened his menu and ate a healing pill he had purchased earlier, "What was that skill you were talking about?"

Shane instantly shared the skill he had shared online and said, "Someone posted this not too long ago. You're lucky we found this. Purchase it this instant!"

Norman opened the link and was instantly shocked after seeing its price. He glanced at his Crana status and grimaced, "Why this skill? Can't you find a cheaper one?"

"Can't," Shane could make it cheaper, but why should he when he could earn more money? He didn't feel any shape at all as he lied through his teeth, "The seller won't change the cost too, and there aren't many darkness attribute skills and weapons available online. This is the only one."

"Why?" asked Norman curiously.

"That's because darkness belongs to the demons. You have got this attribute along with lightning because you're between a monster and human yourself."

Norman nodded as he opened his mouth again, "So what do I need to do?"

"Click on the purchase button," Shane guided his host when he got a notification of the purchase. He glanced at his account as a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. It seemed someone had purchased his skill!

He suppressed his emotions and said, "After clicking the button, you have to verify your email ID and you're done. This is the normal purchase procedure, as you have done before."

"Okay!" Norman had already purchased a few things from the shop. So he knew what to do after this. He instantly bought the skill as he relaxed on the wall of the cave and said, "Done."

Shane glanced at his Crana status and smiled, "Thank you."

The host didn't know why his system was suddenly apologizing. He waved his hand and was about to say something when the ground beneath him trembled fiercely. His eyes widened as he stood up in an instant, staring at the dark tunnel in front of him, "What's happening?"

Shane squinted his eyes. It seemed they weren't the only people in this cave. He instantly checked out the radar only to have his entire body freeze, "Host, run! There's a dangerous monster here! You can't defeat it!"

It was because the monster's level seemed to be more than ten! Even though Shane had defeated such monsters in past, this time, there were a lot of them, an entire group! After seeing the dots' dark color, he assumed these monsters were probably even above twenty level!

Even one twenty-level monster was troublesome. What to speak of a group of them?

Shane took a nervous breath and said, "Listen to me this time. Don't go fighting with this group of monsters. They are really powerful!"

Norman pursed his lips and he was about to go out of the cave and other monsters who were running after him also appeared. Norman instantly hid inside the darkness of the cave so that he couldn't be noticed by these things.

"Sh*t!" Norman cursed under his breath and said, "Both are troublesome!"

Shane also hadn't expected this situation. The monsters outside were also not less in strength. Even though their level couldn't match up with the ones inside the cave, they were still very powerful because of their number. He instantly thought of the skill he had made his host purchase and made a decision, "Go inside the cave. Hurry up before the monsters outside notice you."

"But…. didn't you say we can't defeat that monster?"

"We can't, but we don't have a choice," Shane's voice was strained, "Let's put that new skill to use."

Norman pursed his lips as he nodded. He also didn't have any choice as he nodded and rushed inside, into the darkness. He didn't know whether he would be able to get out alive or not, but in any case, he was originally a ghost. He should be able to save himself.

Still, he should probably ask his system about how to escape the body, "How do I escape this body in case danger arrives?"

"Escape?" Shane tilted his head as he tried to remember the world setting and the body entering skill his host had used not too long ago. He frowned when he realized something, "Host, you're mistaken. You can't escape the body once you enter."

"What do you mean?" Norman's body stiffened, "I can't escape?"

"The only way for you is to die, and dying means failing the mission."
