Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Absorbing the imperceptible despair and fear that escaped from the gaps of the withered corpse, Leo revealed an intoxicated expression on his face, curling his lips as he slowly opened his eyes... Finally gaining a bit of his senses as his consciousness slowly regains its usual tranquillity and serenity.

However, although that was the case, the cruelty in his eyes was still present as he was unable to conceal the coldness within- making beings who looked at it feel instinctively fear toward their souls...

Furthermore, his being was subconsciously releasing a negative imperceptible aura, mainly containing decay, bad luck, and death energy that slowly corroded the things around him. Slowly making the soil beneath him dry and withered due to the lack of nutrients and water within them- dying and evaporating due to his debuffed passive skill that he couldn\'t control...

( Their strength and effectiveness increase by another level due to the elevation of his Qi and Life Order- making his Restrain skill unable to completely suppress them, making its effect thrice stronger than when he was still at the very Peak of the Foundation realm! )

[ Congratulations upon deepening one\'s understanding of Rule!

Understanding of Life Nature +2%! ]

"Huff~ I see, desires are also part of Life Nature. Although it was not dependent on it, it still carried traces of its understanding... Since Life Nature requires everything to function properly.

"Experiencing everything, beholding everything, and understanding everything... Everything is essential, nothing is worthless as they are all required to maintain balance."

He lightly ponders deep within as he can sense that the seed of Life Nature within his gaseous core, hiding deep within his soul momentarily revealed a brilliance... Increasing the Qi it contained by a small margin as the surface of the seed of Life Nature cracks a little- stopping afterwards upon feeding it all of the comprehension that he just comprehends.

"I just felt that the strength and effects of my domain corresponding to the Life Nature suddenly increased by at least 2%.\'

"Moreover, is the next evolution of the Seed of Rule... is the Tree of Rule?\'

"This, don\'t tell me... I needed to comprehend 100% of certain rules to make it into an illustrious tree, before ascending toward the Nascent Soul realm!?\'

Leo exclaimed within his mind, could already imagine how difficult it was to advance from the Core Formation realm toward the illusionary Nascent Soul realm. Just learning a single percentage of the rules he comprehended already makes him helpless, then what about if someone wanted to comprehend a complete rule?

In addition to that, the higher the percentage one comprehended, the slower one\'s progress would be!

Huff~

Of course, his guess might turn out to be incorrect... although unlikely, since he knew that one of the main abilities of Nascent Soul beings is their complete domain!

A Domain that was above Incomplete Domain by folds! (Based on its strength and capability.)

With the increase of the strength and effects of his domain that he just experienced right now, Leo was quite sure that Completing a Domain was related to one\'s understanding of Rules!

"Fortunately, I have a system to help me... or else, increasing my understanding of rules to 100% would be extremely, extremely challenging.\'

...

Huff~

"Wait, why am I thinking so much? Didn\'t I just break through toward the Core Formation realm? Moreover, a day didn\'t even pass by when I advanced! It would take me a long while before I reach the peak of the realm before thinking of ascending..."

Shaking his head emotionlessly, feeling that he again become occupied with something that he shouldn\'t currently think about.

Leo hurriedly hid the withered corpse inside his inventory, oozing with death Qi from his nostrils as he began to drag his body toward the gravely injured man- wanting to break off his mind, causing it to collapse so he could gain the best benefits from it before finishing it off...

However, upon reaching its side, Leo regretfully noticed that its consciousness was already on the verge of collapsing as its life force was already leaving its body at hastened speed- a testament that its death was not that far...

"Tsk, tsk, a pity."

Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Leo instinctively swung his hand toward the direction of the being, only for him to become speechless upon remembering that he already rid his shadow physique... Ridding his ability to transform his limbs into other types of weapons!

"I... forgot.\'

He thought, hiding his embarrassment within before hurriedly pointing his pointed finger toward the temple of the man, licking the corner of his dry lips upon seeing the flesh beneath as dark light suddenly materialised from the tip of his pointed finger... Flashing momentarily, consuming their vision as a weak cracking sound abruptly echoed in the short distance...

...

Thud!

[ Congratulations upon killing a Foundation level 14 realm being!

+2,500 horror points!

+125 Exp points! ]

Keke~

Seeing the pink leaking flesh, slowly flowing from the gaping hole in the head of the man in front of him. Leo didn\'t show any kind of remorse nor show a hint of smile or disgust on his pale face, instead, he lightly bent his knees, grabbing the wet left foot of the corpse as he slowly dragged it toward the distance, toward his next victim with light smile...

(He didn\'t have any idea why he suddenly grabbed the foot of the man and decided to drag it... It just, he just wanted to drag it due to an unknown reason... Making his heart inexplicably happy as if he just come back to his childhood.)

Leaving a long trail of wet crimson toward the surface of the bland grasses beneath as Leo\'s figure leisurely entered the depths of the thick grey fog, slowly vanishing from the sight of feasting crows as their emotionless yet cold beady eyes eyed the remaining flesh in the surroundings... Cawwing dreadfully before continuing their postponed feasting.

Bang!

Bang!

Rippled appears within his vision as a number of items unceasingly struck the surface of his mental barrier, causing him to grit his teeth in pain as some of its force affected his physique... Slowly damaging it due to the intense surge of force that couldn\'t be defended by his mental barrier.

-4 health!

-2 health!

-3 health!

Beholding his slowly decreasing health, diminishing by a small amount every second, the huge man couldn\'t help but release a loud bellow, causing the thick grey fog to churn greatly as the items that kept hitting his imperceptible shield momentarily stopped... before also continuing in the next second.

"Show yourself if you dare! You f*cking coward!"

He cursed in a deep voice, greatly angered by his inability to counterattack. Moreover, his health was already reduced by a tenth, yet, the enemy who caused all of this still didn\'t show itself or to be exact he couldn\'t see its figure due to the thick fog that shrouded the environment- greatly hindering his vision to a great extent!

"This couldn\'t continue or else... my mental energy would be fully consumed and my physique would become vulnerable from the floating items in the atmosphere!\'

"If that happens, would I still be away from death?\'

Upon thinking of it, the huge man couldn\'t help but reveal rich anxiousness on his face, suppressing the unease within his being as his mind began to process above its natural speed... Analyzing everything around him, wanting to unveil its secrets to avoid his current predicament!

"Should I use those skills?

"But using those skills that I managed to Replicate with great difficulty would make my advancement much harder... to the point that the risk of death would increase drastically...\'

Stay tuned with empire

He thought in hesitation, flinching from time to time due to the trembling of his consciousness- a testament that his mental barrier was about to crumble from the unceasing onslaught of the items around! Making his face deadly pale as he clenched his fist with force...

...

"F*CK! This is simply a great loss, I shouldn\'t believe that thief words! If I managed to survive this time, I will surely skin him alive before feeding him to the savage dogs within the forest!\'

Bang!

-3 health!

Soon, finally accepting his fate, the huge man revealed a deep helplessness on his face, opening his two palms, as if accepting the blessings of heaven as a huge incorporeal book, completely covered in metallic bronze, suddenly materialized in his front...

Floating mid air as it unhurriedly opened itself toward the bland cemetery, unfolding its brown paper that exist in different dimension... Facing the pale face of the huge man, finally allowing him to heave a relief...
