XXX System (has been republished)

[author's note: new book out for WSA 2025. Tile is the undead system with a skull. Come support me with some stones!]

When snow had said she had a plan Kyle knew it was definitely weird, but he wasn't braced for what she was about to suggest.

[We simply start a screaming contest, infuriating the guards which will then come for revenge, and then bam! We're out of here.] She excitedly said in a proud tone, making Kyle roll his eyes.

"I can't believe you're starting to get less fun." Kyle inwardly muttered.

[Unless you have one of your brilliant ideas young man, I suggest you keep your stick between your legs and go with it.] Snow spoke in a bossy and angry tone, making Kyle sigh in defeat.

'You're the advanced system.' Kyle shrugged to which she snorted, puffing her imaginary cheeks.

[And besides, that's just phase one out of three of my plans.] Snow said to which Kyle simply nodded. Glancing back at his parents, he then explained his weird plan to them which caused them to raise a brow at first. But they nodded afterwards, going to the other prisoners cowarding in the shadows.

Soon the other prisoners agreed, coming forth. Kyle could see there were more creatures of different races here, than humans. Apart from his mom and dad, there was only two other male humans who looked to be in their mid thirties.

"Alright everyone I have a plan to set us free, but we have to work together." Kyle said to which they slowly nodded.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!"

"Scrreeeeachhh!!!!"

"Eehhhhhh!"

"That's right, keep it up. more louder and more annoying, we need to get the guards attention to come to us for our plan to work."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!"

"What the fuck is it now?" A goblin guard growled, covering it's head.

"Make it stop!"

"I think my brain is about to explode.."

"Damn it.. you fucking low lives. Shit the hell up!"

"Haha! that's it. keep it up, it won't be long before they can't stand it anymore." Kyle urged, sensing snow's plan was working as he could feel the guards getting irritated.

Soon, all the other prisoners in the other cells also joined in on the screaming frenzy. letting out ear piercing shouts and screams, creating a scream filled frenzy.

"Don't you fucking make me come there or am killing all of you!, The same goblin guard yelled in a threatening tone, but it only made matters worse as the prisoners increased the pitch. Making the cell bars chime, like when the wind was hitting a pair of hanging glasses.

"That's it!" Kyle could sense about two guards approaching them, meaning snow's plan had worked.

[Shadow walk activated!]

His body turned into a shadowy figure as he concealed his presence, hiding just besides the cell bars in the shadows. Soon he could sense the guards in front, with the clicking of the cell as the bars slid open to the side with the creature's walking forward.

[They're f rank goblins just like you Kyle, so you should be able to easily deal with them. Though their skin is tough, making their resistance surpass your's. I'll suggest you use your speed advantage, to quickly take them out.]

Nodding, Kyle agreed. he didn't want to attract too much attention with dark flames and death's call, as he knew other goblins were still out there.

"Now, which one of you fucking low lives wanna die first?" The guard snarled, pointing the strange brown staff towards the prisoners.

"That would be me." Kyle said in a deep insidious voice, sending ice cold chills down the goblin's backs.

"What the fuck-" just before they could react Kyle sent his fist forward, punching them in the head, sending them flying back crashing into the iron bars. Before they could get up Kyle appeared in their front, sending a barrage of strikes to their head, making small bang noises. He didn't hold back in the slightest, with over 60 percent of strength and 70 percent of agility, it didn't take long before the goblins died.

[You've killed two f rank demons! ]

[+200exp]

[+6 resistance]

"So the system granted me with 200 exp for their kills." Kyle softly uttered a bit bummed, as he expected more from the system.

[Don't stress it Kyle.. they're just f rank demons, lowest amongst the ranks so the system deemed them inferior.] Snow softly uttered. Turning back, Kyle then proceeded outside the cell along with the other prisoners of about thirty. He could still hear the screams of the other prisoners, though low, but audible enough.

"Okay everyone stick to the plan. The high aura's prisoners stick to the front, and try to defeat as much guards as you can. They're just f rank goblins with low strength and agility, but high resistance. Avoid their attacks and salvage whatever equipments you find, and also release as much prisoners as you can!" Kyle yelled to which they all nodded. The rest 28 then scattered, following Kyle's commands and engaging with the other goblin guards, with the strange staff from earlier. while some groups freed the other prisoners nearby, hence increasing their numbers.

[They don't stand a chance against the goblins in few, without weapons. But with more numbers, at least they can stand a chance.]

"Come on mom and dad." Kyle gestured to the two remaining prisoners, which were his parents. As there was no way in hell, he was going to ever let them out of his sight again.

'Snow tell me there's a way to turn them back to humans.' Kyle inwardly asked deactivating shadow walk, running at a normal paced his parents could keep up with. That thought had been lingering at the back of his mind, ever since he got the system and turned into a demon. But now seeing his parents like this, it further solidified his resolve to push forward.

[Even though they've been exposed to demon energy Kyle, they're not demons.] Snow softly uttered which made Kyle confused.

'If they're not demons, then what are they?'

[You can say they're halflings. Like partial demon and partial human. Since their bodies haven't fully absorbed enough demon energy, to turn them into mindless creatures.] Snow explained, causing Kyle to sigh a breath of relief hearing his parents were still in there.

[Whether they can be healed or not I don't know, as it isn't recorded in my database.] She honestly spoke, making Kyle's face contort into a frown.

[But I wouldn't be able to say. There might still be a way to turn your parents back Kyle, it's just that am not aware of it.] Snow said in a sad downcast tone, annoyed by the fact she didn't know of a way to turn Kyle's parents back. She's an artificial intelligence, a high advanced one at that, so it's expected she knew these stuff.

'Don't beat yourself about it snow. You've already done a lot of helping me.' Kyle said, to which she let out a small 'mhm'.

It didn't take long before Kyle navigated his way through this maze like deathtrap, finding the next prison cell. Activating shadow walk, he quickly dealt with the two guards guarding the cell, earning him another 200exp.

He then opened the cell bars, explaining out the same orders to which they nodded, as he handed out the bone keys and strange brown staff.

"Hey, who the hell are you!?" Two goblins yelled, charging straight at Kyle and his parents. Kyle wanted to step out and finish them fast, but he felt two hands on his back.

"We.. fight!"

"Huh? Are you kidding me, you want to fight them?" Kyle frowned, seeing his parents clenching their fists.

"But-" he wanted to protest, but they didn't give him the chance to as they stepped up.

"Die!" The goblins yelled, sending out their fists to xia and Ron. It was slow so they could easily dodge, landing attacks of their own. but alas, the goblins skin were just too tough for any serious damage to be done.

'They can't continue like this or their stamina will be depleted faster.' Kyle wanted to step out and aid his parents, but snow stopped him.

[Wait! am sensing a fluctuation in their aura's] snow pointed out and Kyle could see it. Black Gooey substance, was spreading throughout the right side of their skin. Under Kyle's eyes their arms elongated, with the strange black goo substance forming a firm sharp pointed spike like spear.

With precision they made deep cut marks to the goblins skin, avoiding their strikes. Black blood flowed from the goblins wounds, as their movements were slowing down. Seizing the opportunity, xia and Ron pounced in, shoving their black spear hands to the goblins head killing them on impact.

"Woah~" Kyle softly uttered with wide eyes, seeing his parents swiftly deal with two f rank goblins. He'd thought they were weak before, but now he could clearly see he was wrong.

"What the fuck is all the commotion he?!" More goblin guards stormed the place, each holding the strange brown staff.

"My turn." Kyle smirked, as dark flames burned in both his palms. Not hesitating, he fired them at the two closest goblins. The flames connected with their bodies, enveloped in flames earning small grunts from them.

'What the- dark flames doesn't have much effect on them.' They were on fire, but their skins were melting really slow at a snail's pace. Shooting out jetskis of dark flames, he managed to kill the group of five goblins earning him 500 exp.

"Let's go." Kyle said, but more goblin guards charged in a much larger group of about thirty. Kyle was about dealing with them, since he had an infinite amount of demon energy here in hell, but stopped feeling the ground shaking violently.

"An earthquake?" He wondered, as he didn't expect an earthquake to happen in hell.

[No, look!] Snow said, and that's when he could see it. Out from the corner came countless prisoners, like a whole beehive. Some holding the strange staffs, while the others holding sharp spears and other weapons of dark materials.

"Shit!" The goblins cursed seeing the rampage but they didn't back down, standing their ground and attacking them. The prisoners went pass kyle, xia, and Ron, also engaging in battle with the goblins.

'Guess like your plan worked perfectly snow. There's a riot in hell.' Kyle smirked, to which snow simply puffed her imaginary chest proudly.

[Author's note: sorry for the delay, more chaps will be posted really soon. Please stay tuned!]
