Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

The four of them paused in their steps as they felt a fierce aura spreading around them. The man sitting behind the table seemed to have been leaking certain dark energy that pressed down on the people who had just entered, making them tremble in fear.

It almost felt as if the dark power was crawling deep inside the mere bones and cells of the people standing at the door, attacking the organs of their bodies. The pressure was suffocating and painful. Everyone else was on the verge of giving up, except for Shane.

He stood there, staring at the man with a frown on his face, he tilted his head and wondered what was going on. This person hadn't said a word for a while and just continued to sit there without moving. He even felt that human-like monster's stare that was directed at Shane, making the latter even more uncomfortable.

Shane's brows furrowed deeper as he turned toward Tess, only to find her breathing heavily. Her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat as she stared at the man behind the round table in horror. The others behind her also had similar expressions on their faces. They looked like they wanted to take a step back, but they couldn't.

Shane's confusion increased. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the monster's voice echoing in the background, "Wondering what's happening to your friends, Mr. Shane Cooper?"

The boy turned toward the monster and said nothing. He pursed his lips and continued to stand there, narrowing his eyes at the other man. He had no intention to converse with a monster.

The monster chuckled as he stood up on his feet, "They are just feeling the greatness of dark cosmic energy. You're quite familiar with it, aren't you?"

Shane's eyes widened at this time. He couldn't continue to stand back and say nothing after this. It seemed that his powers were somehow revealed by someone. He suddenly remembered the hacker who seemed to have changed the difficulty level of his first virtual portal.

He felt a chill down his spine.

Someone seemed to be onto him. But who? He was new to this system world. Was it just because he could use dark cosmic energy?

Shane didn't know. So he finally opened his mouth and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

If he continued to deny that he could use dark cosmic energy, nothing would be revealed. After all, Ed had managed to destroy the memory of him using dark energy from everyone's minds. How could it be possible for the student systems to hack the system and even remember to tell a monster of a dungeon about it?

So, if he didn't say anything, he wouldn't have to reveal himself either. At this time, he couldn't trust anyone, and revealing everything would probably put his sister in danger.

Of course, he also cared about Frank, but not to the extent of sharing this life secret. The hacking event taught him to be cautious of everything. So it wasn't harmful to hide a few things from his friends.

So if none of his friends knew, who revealed his powers? It couldn't be Ed, could it?

Shane frowned and shook his head. No, Ed's personality dangled around righteousness. He would definitely not do this after accepting Shane as his only disciple. Of course, that bald man would also sometimes give his sister one-on-one lessons, but that was because he had made an agreement with Shane earlier that he would only accept Ed as his master if the latter taught Tess.

The bald man indeed taught her, but she still wasn't his disciple. Shane had said nothing about it and continued to ignore it. As long as Tess was getting stronger, he couldn't complain.

So even Ed could be ruled out of this.

Then what went wrong? Did Shane reveal his powers accidentally?

All the events of the past few weeks ever since he woke up in the white room flashed in front of his eyes, but he still couldn't make sense of it. The only thing that he could think of was that someone must have known about Shane's existence. It could also explain why Shane suddenly started using dark cosmic energy.

If everything was a villain's plan, they could also manage to make him use dark cosmic energy. Otherwise, who could explain why he used dark cosmic energy, the power of the demons? Also, no one seemed to have explained anything about this dark cosmic energy. He just knew the story about the origin of the entire creation, how the King of Darkness ruled and fell down because of one mistake, and how the dark power was merely the opposite of the divine.

He could understand everything, but he still felt something was missing here.

Just as Shane was busy thinking, the monster walked over. He could finally see what he looked like…. A normal man wearing black robes.

It was even a turtle-neck shirt, and the man looked like he had jumped out of a fashion magazine with his hair styled properly.

He stopped when sensing Shane's gaze and asked, "What? Is this not a proper appearance that can attract humans? Should I change it?"

He flicked his fingers and was transformed into a beautiful lady with a huge chest. Her wavy brown hair was so long that it covered up her entire body. It could be said that the thing that covered up her body was her long hair. She chuckled, "How about this?"

Shane's expression distorted, "What the f*ck do you want?"

"Aw, you don't like this too," the woman flicked her fingers and turned back into the turtle-neck shirt man. "I could have pleased you, you know?"

Shane silently pulled out the kinslayer and raised his head, "If you want to fight, just say so. Why go in a roundabout manner like this?"

The monster chuckled again and pressed the sword down, "Why are you in a hurry to fight? Let's do some fun, shall we?"

Before Shane could even react, the demon flicked his fingers as dark energy surrounded them at once. Tess, Frank, and Jake were frozen in their previous places, and they couldn't move.
