Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

Shane ignored the Hope in his mind and said to the past Hope, "I really don't mind anything, but I should be given a chance to prove my words. You're not wasting this chance just because of your prejudice against me, will you?"

The past Hope looked at the man and sighed. "Fine. Whatever you want. But you only have a few days, almost a week. That's all I can give you. If you fail to impress me, you'll regret it."

The corners of Shane's lips curled up. "Sure."

After saying that, he walked out of that place and entered an inn. When he booked a room, he entered before closing the door behind him.

Only then did he start discussing seriously with Hope. "So, what do we do now? How to convince yourself?"

Hope wasn't worried. "What are you anxious for? Don't you remember this is the past? Everything has happened already. So just chill out, yeah? I already know what's gonna happen."

"So, your majesty," Shane said sarcastically, "Can you come out and deal with this?"

"You already called me an Empress, and you still dare to force me to work?! You impudent soldier!"

Shane raised his brows and played along for a bit. "Why am I only a soldier, though? I should be a top-level minister or something."

"Top level?" Hope cursed under her breath. "You don't even deserve to be at the lowest. Making you a soldier is already my greatest mercy."

Shane went silent after this. He sighed as he stood next to the window, staring at the sky in a daze.

To be honest, this world had nothing to do with him. His small attachment to his master had also vanished after he arrived in the past. He also knew that, despite time travel, he couldn't change his sister's fate anymore.

Even though he could have opted to change it, he knew the consequences of changing the past. It could either create another timeline or have occurred without his intervention.

In short, he was the cause of his sister's death, but he couldn't do a f*cking thing about it. He would probably have to watch her die all over again, and this time, he didn't feel a single fleck of emotion for her anymore.

She was his dead sister. Why should he feel sorry?

Shane sighed again. He was slowly turning into a stone-hearted man for some reason.

"Eh? Why are you sighing so much?" Hope casually asked.

"Hope, tell me honestly," Shane randomly blurted out. "Is this world real?"

The girl chuckled and said, "Everything comes to those who wait, and you'd have to wait a lot, my dear Shane."

"So it is indeed not real? Then what am I?"

"When the heck did I say it's not real?" Hope refuted innocently.

"Then…"

"Shane," Hope replied in a serious tone. "You don't have to worry about anything. Just wait and follow my instructions. You'll survive. That's for sure."

For some reason, he felt a hidden meaning behind her words, but he couldn't catch it any longer. He shook his head and went downstairs to eat something.

A few days passed before Hope approached him again. Before leaving, the two of them had exchanged contact information, making it easier for Hope to call him when needed. For the past few days, she might have been tailing him while finding information from the government.

Every system would have an ID registered with its former name and the system number. Even though it's officially registered, not everyone can see the personal information. Nothing else is available except the system number.

So at this time, Hope must have used her hacking skills to get that information, and she probably must have found something strange.

This person, Jake, should have died. According to the information, the ID had already been suspended, which is a sign that the man had been declared dead by the authorities. So how come Jake was still alive?

The past Hope was taken aback when she saw that, and it took her a few days to confirm the news. After that, she stopped thinking about it and finally approached Jake.

The two of them arrived at their location. It was a restaurant filled with people. The premise of the restaurant could have been better. It was a simple place with no frills. The food also seemed bland as compared to others.

Still, the restaurant was filled with people, mainly because it sold food at a low price. Some people even wondered if the owner of this restaurant was even earning something out of it.

By the time Hope and Jake sat face-to-face at the corner table, people had already started chatting about the System God and his antiques. Many people considered him crazy for creating unreasonable rules that harmed people more than they benefited them.

For example, the rule that people with dark energy were criminals was created by Max because he was the one who used it in the first place. He didn't want anyone else to come and take his place.

So whoever followed the dark path was either killed or detained. If someone was more powerful than him, they were detained by the authorities. But if there were someone he could defeat, he'd kill them on the spot.

That's right. There were people Max couldn't defeat because he hadn't reached past ninety. The situation was so bad that no matter how much he practiced and meditated, he couldn't improve.

If Hope were to be with the man, she would have offered some guidance. She knew why Max was stuck, but she had no intention of saying a word or seeing the System God.

At the time, everyone was complaining about how dissatisfied they were with the System God and how they couldn't believe no one had challenged him.

"How ridiculous!" One of the men heavily put his palm against the table, making a thumping noise and vibrating the entire place. "I want to kick his a**! How could that so-called System God be so shameless?! He actually refused to acknowledge that he was lower than a hundred. We all saw him fight a few days ago, and he was on level 90! Does he think the public is blind and deaf?"

"That's true. He dares to hide this truth and expects us to be faithful to him," replied the person sitting at the same table. "I haven't heard something so ridiculous in a long time!"

"I really wish someone could fight him and get him down the pedestal! He doesn't deserve it!"

"I say, let's all gather together and fight him! I'm sure he doesn't have enough power to fight the entire public!" replied the first man with a serious expression.

After hearing his voice, everyone else went silent. None of them spoke, making the man himself feel strange. He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and said:

"Forget it, then."

Even though the general public was angry at the system god, when it came to fighting the man himself, they all turned into cowards. The topic changed to something else, but Hope and Shane's expressions didn't change.

Hope continued to tap on the table with a serious expression. At this time, she had worn the hood all over again, making her look a bit more mysterious.

Shane sneered in his heart. This girl was pretentious in the past and hadn't changed even after entering the future. She might remain the same throughout her life. It's no surprise she hadn't had a boyfriend in years.

He deliberately ignored the fact that he had flirted with her several times already and even seen her naked. They already had an ambiguous aura around them that he couldn't ignore.

He had always been biased against her for some reason.

The past Hope finally raised her head and looked coldly at the man sitting opposite her. "Let's go."

"Aren't you going to tell me what to do anymore?"

In the past, Hope sneered. "Like heck, I'm going to reveal my plan to a snake like you. Aren't you going to use it against me?"

When Shane thought about it, he really did want to hold some advantage over the girl. He neither denied nor agreed with her claim, sitting there silently like a statue.

The girl's anger flared, but she controlled herself again by taking a deep breath. "Follow me."

After saying that, she stood up and walked out, not even caring whether the man behind her was following her.

Shane clicked his tongue and spoke to the Hope in his mind, "How willful! You should have gotten the best cold woman's award."

The hope in his mind didn't reply. Or we can just say that she refused to reply. She continued to eat food, chewing in her mind.

Shane raised his brows. Just how much could she eat? She had been eating a lot. He shrugged.

It wasn't like she was going to get healthier or something. The food in mind didn't really add to the body. It was just for taste and to relieve the body's nutritional needs. And if a person overeats, the food will stop providing nutrition.
