Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

After dealing with everything, the students returned to their dorms. They weren't in their right mind to do anything at the moment because of experiencing death firsthand. Only Shane followed Ed and Dirt after everyone was gone. Tess was still busy chasing Frank, and Shane was glad for that. At least, she wouldn't keep an eye on his moments.

He sighed as he followed. He still remembered what had happened inside the portal, and that strange demon also made him feel weird in his heart. If that monster could do it once, he could repeat the process in every world he would go.

But why him? Why would these hackers go after him of all people? Was the power he possessed so great?

He looked at the palm of his hands with a complicated look on his face. Just then, he heard the bald man speaking, "What do you want to say, speak."

Only then did Shane realize that they had safely entered Ed's office and he didn't even realize it while thinking so deeply. He scratched the back of his neck and said, "Master… something happened inside the portal. Someone-"

"A strange entity came and killed you, didn't he?"

"How did you know?"

Ed was silent for a while as he exchanged a glance with Dirt. They both were unnaturally silent for the moment as the robot answered first, "I cannot answer you who that person was, but let's save your life first. Echo managed to lock your eject button. So, I'll remove it from your menu and give you additional protection."

"Protection?" Shane tilted his head. From what he heard, he felt like Ed knew who that person was inside the portal, but they didn't want to tell him about it.

Dirt nodded as he opened his menu first, "Let's just say it will be a secret code that can connect you to me in an instant despite being anywhere in the portal. You can easily receive my assistance in critical situations. If you get stuck, I can help you with all I can."

Shane pursed his lips and nodded. For the first time in his life, he felt that having a master wasn't all that bad. He felt his shoulders relax as he smiled and said, "Then, I'll go back."

As soon as he left, the expression on Dirt's face twisted as he darted his glance at Ed, "Did he really come?"

"Really… you didn't feel it wrong."

Dirt's face changed multiple times before a hint of excitement appeared on his face, "Can I fight him? Pleaseeeeee!!!!!!!!!"

Ed pressed a finger on his forehead as he sighed, "If he's still around, you can."

Dirt's eyes widened as he instantly opened his menu. He typed for quite a while, but in the end, he still couldn't manage to find the person he was looking for. He only saw a shadow of a certain person flashing past the open ground brazenly as if that person were mocking right at his face.

Dirt's anger spiked as he glared at the screen in front of his eyes. He raised his head and said, "Boss, can I reverse the time and kill him? Please, give me permission."

"Nope," Ed spoke blankly while leaning against the table, "You're not allowed to play with time. It bites you back. Haven't you learned it already?"

Dirt's expressions changed again as he just remembered something. He grimaced and finally calmed down. His face returned to normal at this time, "Fine. So what should we do? Why is he targetting Shane out of everyone else?"

Ed was silent for a while as he frowned, "I don't think that person is after Shane. It's his mysterious powers and the fact that I managed to bring him under me. That person is finally showing fear."

Dirt nodded. "Then we should keep an eye on Shane at all times."

"There's something wrong with this situation though…. I feel like, something else is also involved," Ed sighed tiredly, "Those pair of master and disciple is troubling me a lot. At least, Echo will go away after what happened with the exam. Let's think about that person now."

Shane didn't know that his master was worried about that demon. He silently lay on the bed and closed his eyes, but the feeling of being killed was so heavy that as soon as he closed his eyes, flashes of that that when his body felt immense pain came back to his mind.

His breathing went faster as he tried to adjust himself by taking deep breaths, but his thoughts remained the same. He had still died a brutal death.

Shane opened his eyes and sat on the bed.

He shouldn't use shared senses during death. It wasn't good for his emotional and mental well-being at all.

Somehow, he ended up jumping out of his bed and wandering aimlessly into the corridor. He didn't know what to do with the free time at hand. So he would just roam around the institute and think about his future.

Future….

Shane felt like laughing at this word. After today, he knew clearly that he lacked, and he wasn't that powerful enough to protect himself and his sister. He should get ready to develop himself and at least create new spells that would save his life in such situations in the future.

But why did he feel like the answer that he was seeking was in the palm of his hands? He just had to reach out to it and create a miracle.

He swiftly shook his head as he was just about to turn back, a vague conservation reached his ears.

"Frank, let me warn you if we ever get into a relationship, I'll not be as stupid as my host," the girl was silent for a while before she continued, "I'll kill you if you talk, no think something like that."

Tess?

Talking about relationships?

Shane's attention was successfully grabbed as he jumped out of the window and followed the voice. It seemed that they were on the terrace as he climbed using the ladder outside and glanced at two people sitting on the roof. There was an obvious red mark on Frank's cheek as his expressions were dark as if he had just faced a drastic situation.

Then he looked at the haughty and proud Tess who sat beside the boy.

Shane's brows furrowed. Even though he had given his sister the freedom to do whatever she wanted, it didn't mean she would just go out and have a relationship, given their situation. Didn't she know that they were supposed to be systems, not humans who could have the luxury to be in a relationship?

It was difficult to even for family members to maintain their relationship when faced with a condition such as today. All the systems were up against one another. To be honest, Shane didn't know what he would do if he had faced Tess instead of Frank.

He frowned and couldn't help but imagine that scene before shaking his head. He was glad that his luck wasn't that bad.

He raised his head and glanced at two people sitting on the rooftop, looking at the moon with completely different expressions on their faces. He sneered and walked closer as he stood between them. He eyed Frank as if telling the guy to move away from his sister.

The latter seemed to have gotten a hint as he scooted away from the girl with a trace of blush on his face. Tess was also blushing, but she raised her head and glared at her brother furiously, "Hey, Shane, why are you here? You disturbed my date!"

Shane looked at the slap mark on Frank's face and couldn't help but think, 'He was so glad that this girl was his sister.'

"Sure, date all you can, but you're not allowed to have a relationship just yet."

"You cannot stop me!" Tess was furious at this time. She was like a fuse that could go off any minute.

"She's right," another familiar voice rang from behind, "Don't be a dictator on your sister."

Jake.

Shane took a deep breath and glared at the man who walked closer and put his hands on the former's shoulders, looking like a lazy young master from a rich family. He raised his head and stared at Tess before whistling, "You're a gem. How about trying to date me?"

Just then, Shane punched him in the stomach, "Don't even think about it as long as I'm alive."

The smile nearly slipped off Jake's face as he crouched and covered up his stomach. He chuckled in a strained voice, "What do you eat to have so much power in your limbs?"

"Don't change the topic!" Shane was particularly angry at this time after seeing so many birds and bees following his sister. He turned and glared at her, "This is all your fault. Can't you dress properly?"

"Why am I being blamed for this again?" Tess glared at her brother, "Jake is right. You're being a dictator!"

"Can't I just be a brother worried for his sister?" Shane glared at her in return.

While they were arguing above the roof and passing the night, a certain silver-haired girl was sneaking and watching everything while hiding behind the pillar. Jake seemed to have sensed something as he glanced in her direction. Suddenly, the corners of his lips ticked up, but he said nothing as he got busy in the conservation.

Echo lowered her head and a complicated expression appeared on her face. After a while, it seemed as if she had just made a decision and vanished from sight.
