Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

(Please Skip If You're Below 20!)

Huff~

Upon planting the corpse beneath his spiritual fruits and herbs, Leo lightly patted his palms, removing the sticky dirt within... Sighing softly before revealing an excited expression on his pale face, finally had time to experiment with his newfound skills as he unhurriedly took out the black cauldron within his inventory... Beholding its metallic glint as he lightly feels its surface.

"Keke~ Who would have thought that... I would still use you even though I finally upgraded my class job?'

Smiling, akin to a devious (demonic) grin, Leo unhurriedly tossed the red ruby earring into the interior of the cauldron, producing a crisp clicking sound in the process...

Pausing momentarily to delve within the knowledge he acquired when he gets the "Way of Dark Magic" skill to ensure that he wouldn't make a mistake before continuing.

"An intense negative emotions, items of the person who I wanted to curse (best if it contained her/his Qi, scent, and spirituality), and dense Death Qi or Curse Qi...

"Moreover, there's also the ritual, it's needed to gain the augmentation of the environment- allowing the curse energy to travel towards the far distance so it could enter the physique of the victim...

"Other than that, it's best to curse at 12:00 am to 3:00 am when spirituality and Yin energy are on its thickest...'

Although one could curse anytime, if one wanted to increase the chances of the probability and potency of the curses, it's best to curse using the best materials and time... Allowing one to basically gain the help of the environment he was currently in to increase one's success!

In the past, people often thought that the reason why "Witch" who focused on dark magic did their witchcraft at night was mainly to maintain their secrecy...

Although their guess was half correct, the main reason for it was actually to gain the assistance of the night! Where Yin energy, Spirituality, and the damp environment were on its thickest- basically allowing them to momentarily elevate their abilities by amount! Continue reading at empire

Making their success, curse strength, and its effect more formidable in the process... Exacting the best outcome possible!

Huff~

"Although it was daytime right now, I could use the Yin energy within the cemetery that accumulated at one point...

"In addition to the Death Qi within the pit- the effectiveness of my curse might not be different than the boon given by the night!'

Thinking of it, Leo couldn't help but feel excited within, gazing at the yellowish ball of light on the far horizon- telling him that the time was already at noon as he began feeding Qi toward the seemingly gas lamp beneath the cauldron... Causing its exterior to heat up, making its metallic surface to carry a hint of redness on it.

Pausing slightly, Leo grabbed the corpse of the man beneath him (killed by skeletons #1 and #2) as he unhurriedly extracted its blood- filling the interior of the cauldron by tenth as it slowly began to boil due to its high temperature... Causing its indescribable smell to waft toward Leo's senses, inhaling slightly upon catching the scent of fear and dread that drilled toward its physique.

Shing!

Still not done, Leo took out a black dagger within his inventory, smiling lightly before commencing to chop the five fingers of the corpse's right hand, causing blood to spill in the short distance, dyeing the plants nearby as they sway in happiness... Weighting them with his silver scale before tossing it toward the cauldron upon getting the right amount.

Sizzle~ Sizzle~

In an instant, the rhythmic sound of thick blood boiling echoed in the far distance as the fingers within visibly melted due to its unprecedented temperature... Expelling the impurities within, making the blood more crimson in the process...

Beholding this, Leo unhurriedly spread his palm, slightly opening his mouth as he began to utter an incoherent sound, causing the temperature around to mysteriously plummet as the flame beneath the cauldron suddenly changed from the original colour of yellowish red into bluish purple- carrying coldness in it that could send unexplainable chills towards one's physique upon being grazed by its flame...

However, although that was the case, the blood within the interior of the cauldron continued boiling... As if the changes happening around were only but a product of one's illusion.

...

Huff~

"Mamatay... Kang... Panget... Ka!"

Taking a deep breath, Leo didn't even glance toward the changes happening around, already aware of it due to the knowledge he currently possessed... Continuing to utter the mysterious knowledge within his mind as he began tossing his Qi that carried traces of Inevitable Death (Rule) toward the boiling blood...

Makings its colour change, carrying a hint of darkness and rot within as its incomprehensible scent fused toward the surrounding fog.

Swish~ Swish!

Soon, upon tossing the twentieth of his Qi within the interior of the cauldron, the liquid within suddenly released a weak brilliance of darkness- consuming his sight, causing the grasses beneath to rot visibly upon being grazed by its aura. Furthermore, the skin of the corpse beside him suddenly becomes charred dry, to the point that its weight visibly lightens...

...

Boil... Sizzle~

Seemingly noticing the movement within his cauldron, Leo abruptly opened his eyes, timely beholding the crimson black liquid within rapidly evaporating toward the atmosphere- transforming into imperceptible energy that only he could see, flying toward the far horizon, toward the direction of the town as it quickly vanished within his sight...

Causing him to become at loss due to the sudden changes of events...

"Is it success or not? I'm still not done with my ritual, I'm still not starting my dancing (a segment of the ritual) to please the demon which is basically me...

"Sigh~ system, you're really a scam!'

Leo thought, dissatisfied upon being interrupted by the unexpected outcome, feeling that the system deprived him of his little happiness... However, as he was about to complain toward the system, a sudden sound of notification rang within his consciousness, causing him to become startled as he hurriedly read the information it carried.

Ding!

Hmm?

"It succeeds? That easy!? Then, how am I able to see its potency?"

...

Soon, understanding that he wouldn't be able to see its effect, Leo regretfully shook his head... Cleaning the interior of the cauldron before tossing the black ring within, wanting to curse the other party so he will receive equal treatment! Because equality is good!

"Keke~ Although I couldn't see its effect... I didn't expect that the process of cursing was actually fun... I should curse beings often when I have free time!'

Boom!

Boom!

Hours away from the bland cemetery, within the protection of the high grey wall, within the town...

The unceasing sounds of explosions followed by angry cries of countless residents within chaotically resounded toward the desolate atmosphere... Spreading fear, panic, and despair toward one's being as chaos swiftly shrouded the land...

Unfolding the destroyed establishment, rubbles of concrete, and greatly caved ground toward the face of the setting sun...

Showing the might of beings who emotionlessly cast their transcended abilities toward the land without care for lives...

Quickly dyeing the encompasses with hundreds of corpses. Eyes wide open, showing despair, shock, and unwillingness within its blandness that was deprived of life- a testament that they died in puzzlement, having no ability to save their lives although unwilling.

"HAHA! Kill! Kill! KILL ALL THE HUMANS TO PLEASE THE DEVILS!!"

Suddenly, above the tall wall, an irritating laugh akin to grinding metal echoed in the far distance- causing the panicked people around to grit their teeth, covering their ears in pain as visible blood flowed through the gap of their palms...

Causing them to instinctively raise their eyes as they gazed above, instantly beholding the dreadful figure of the devil.

Skin red as dry blood greeted their eyes... Followed by its distinct horns that pointed toward the fissure above, as if wanting to defy the rule of heaven.

On his arms, the sharp pointed nails, almost similar to short daggers, instantly send chills toward their being- making some tremble due to its dangerous glint, causing them unable to move due to the unknown fear that stems deep within their soul...

"Keke~ That's right, trembled beneath and sacrifice your pitiful life toward the Devils!'

The devil, upon seeing the blood bath beneath, revealed a devious grin on its face, summoning a red flame on his palm as he casually tossed it toward the running human in the far distance, instantly causing its body to ignite- shouting in agony as flame consume its body, making beings that saw its figure to further tremble, reflecting within their eyes how it slowly turns ashes...

Before being carried by gale of unease as the only thing it left behind was the charred ground...

Beholding this, the humans revealed a horrified expression on their faces, covering their mouths before shouting afterwards- issuing another round of chaos.
