Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Without further ado, Leo's bloodied figure immediately turned transparent before completely vanishing in the face of the world.

His smell, temperature, and aura also vanished with him within the thin air, as if he didn't exist in the first place.

Only the bloodied footprint beneath, which was slowly being filled by the puddle of congealed blood, authenticates that he actually exists.

Swish~

Soon, after arriving at the old, familiar shop, Leo exhaled a cold breath, releasing the accumulating exhaustion within his being as his pale palms slowly pushed the old, yet antique wooden door in front of him.

It could be said that after upgrading his horror shop two times, the only thing that changed in its exterior design was the wooden door.

It becomes more heavy and cold to one's touch!

If a being in a mortal realm held the door for more than 3 seconds, they would surely tremble in coldness.

Creak~

With the familiar, annoying sound of creaking, the cold scene inside the shop immediately greeted Leo's vision.

Countless humans, bathing in thick blood while unfolding fear and horrors within their eyes, lay unconsciously and unresponsive on the ground.

Some of them occasionally trembled, while several of them even had fumes of white bubbles oozing from their mouths.

Seeing this spectacle, Leo couldn't help but cover his mouth, chuckling slightly before spreading his divine senses in the far distance.

Sigh~

"Fortunately, all of them were fine; they just lost consciousness due to fright."

"However, considering that most of them reach the foundation realm, it's surprising that most of them lost consciousness due to fear."

If Leo's memory weren't playing tricks with him, he remembered that he commanded all of the puppets to treat the injured beings with absolute care before he left, meaning that they wouldn't dare to injure any people that he healed!

Hence, he found the scene quite interesting and amusing.

Shaking his head in order to get rid of the amusing thought that lingered within his head, Leo quietly clicked his finger, instantly producing a green light of vitality that hurriedly spread toward the interior of the horror shop.

In an instant, the lingering miasma present within the atmosphere began to melt at a visible speed, bringing warmth and comfort to the unconscious cultivators on the ground.

Following that, the occasional tremble of their body and lips, their pale faces, and their fuming mouths began to gain a hint of roseness and vitality... Regaining their usual calmness in the process.

"Much better; at least they wouldn't blame me after they regained their senses."

Nodding his head after seeing that the situation of the cultivators on the cold, sticky floor went back to normal, Hermes finally shifted his gaze toward the changes inside the building.

Marveling about the digression of the furniture inside.

Instead of becoming more dignified, magnificent, or flawless, the furniture and scenery inside his shop after the upgrade become more disturbing and horrifying to one's preference.

To the point that even the solid walls appear like wriggling bark from an unknown tree!

Just the scent it was releasing, which was akin to rotting flesh, full of white maggots that came from the flies, could already make someone's stomach churn.

"Well, considering that their mind was still unstable due to the injuries they received earlier, I think it made sense that they became horrified after staying inside the horror shop for good hours."

Weakly mumbling to himself, Leo then controlled the unconscious bodies scattered on the cold floor with his telekinetic ability, laying them down in the corner of the shop carefully before he advanced toward the counter.

Crackle~

Boom!

However, as he was just about to enter the counter, a weak, numbling force suddenly hit his chest.

Tearing the clothes he was wearing in a matter of milliseconds before burning the surface of his pale skin into a charred black.

Fortunately, with his current realm, the damage he received was infinitely small, to the point that it could heal itself in just seconds.

Still, the fact that he received damage already caused him to become shocked.

"I... I thought that those monsters found me... This... quickly hide!"

As countless thoughts were running inside Leo's head, the trembling voice of a woman, full of fear and dread, entered his ears, making his eyes glint fiercely as he gazed toward the bottom corner of the counter.

In an instant, the trembling body of the woman, covered in the dried flakes of blood as her messy hair covered half of her face, appeared within Leo's sight.

"Did... I meet her before? She looks familiar."

Sure enough, after coldly staring at the woman for a few minutes, the memory of the helpless woman slowly resurfaces within his mind.

The image of the helpless woman struggling to keep her dignity from the man above her as she pitifully cried for help again appeared in his mind. He even remembered that he gave her a spiritual fruit that time before leaving.

"She even reached the peak mid-stage of the foundation realm in just a month; her luck was quite good.'

Thinking of it, Leo quickly retracted the glint within his gray irises, staring at the anxious woman below before stretching his right arm.

"Don't worry, they wouldn't hurt you. You might not know this, but I'm the one who saved you from the inevitable death earlier.

"Not only you, but all of the humans within this shop were saved by me."

Seemingly regaining her senses upon hearing Leo's calming yet cold voice, the woman's pale body finally began to calm down, raising her head as she stared at the pale human in front of her with uncertainty and doubt.

It could be said that she was almost certain that she died in the maws of the beast earlier.

The sensation of dread, the smell of rotting saliva, and the pain of tearing flesh were still fresh within her mind... Making her believe that the chances of her surviving were extremely small.

"This... am I really still alive?"
