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!]

Kyle and his parents with the help of all the other prisoners, quickly overpowered the goblins with their numbers.

"Come on everyone. Kill these bastards that stole your lives from you!" Kyle cheered to which they shouted with vigor, violently attacking the goblins. Kyle used dark flames sometimes using death's call, for a more larger group of goblins. His parents used their strange transformation ability, using their sharp dark spikes hand to slaughter the goblins.

While the prisoners used the strange brown staff to set the goblins ablaze, while the rest barbarically killed them. It didn't take long, before the last group of goblin guards were killed by Kyle and his team.

'Now where do we go snow?'

[Wait, while I scan the area.] Snow calmly said, initiating a deep thermal scan around the perimeter.

[There.. that wall is our way to escape.] Snow said to which Kyle nodded, gesturing the crowds of prisoners to the huge wall in front of them.

'So now what?' Kyle asked impatient, earning a grunt from snow.

[Tsk I don't know.. you're the demon here, aren't you supposed to have an idea.] Snow spoke in an annoyed tone, to which Kyle rolled his eyes at her.

'You could've said this earlier before we killed the last guard.' Kyle frowned, as he was certain he would've gotten somewhat information from the goblin.

[I-i should've said something? Weren't you the one yelling out orders, leader..] Snow sarcastically said, snorting a bit. Placing his hand to his chin, Kyle was pondering on how to get this wall open. He tried punching it, but each time he'd be flung back a bit by an invisible force, like a forcefield.

And using dark flames was just as pouring water on it, as it had no effect whatsoever on the wall. Death's call was somewhat better than dark flames, but other than making small bang sounds it did little to no damage at all.

'Guess it's down to transformation then.' Just as Kyle was about transforming into his demon self, someone stepped forward.

"Mom.. what are you doing?" He asked confused, seeing her approach the wall. He could hear her muttering some strange words, stretching her hand to the wall.

"Mom be careful!" Kyle yelled with caution about to stop her, but she'd already pressed her hand to the wall. Time seemed to freeze for a moment as nothing happened instantly, but the next second a clank sound was made, with the wall fading away.

"Way.." xia pointed with a warm smile. Looking at her Kyle was lost for words, but he soon regained his composure.

"You heard her, let's move." Kyle ordered to which the prisoners nodded, following behind the trio as they made their way through the deserted path. There wasn't any goblins or creatures along the way, so their movements were much faster and smoother.

It didn't take long before they reached the town like part of this section in hell, as multiple demons and monstrosities you could imagine lurked here.

[They're all on the f rank stage Kyle, so they shouldn't be much of a problem.] Snow said in his head, to which he nodded. He could see this place was occupied mostly by goblins and trolls, with spiked clubs. The creatures were now aware of their presence, as they charged straight at them with murderous intent.

Turning, Kyle had a smug look on his face puffing his chest a bit as he spoke. "These are just f rank goblins and trolls. With our current forces, we can overcome them with minimal casualties." He said, like a commander prepping his troops for war. Every word he spoke containing confidence, and pride.

[+50 reputation points]

'That was unexpected.' Kyle thought, staring at the system screen that popped up in his view. He knew what reputation points were, as he'd gotten the title from his bonding moment with elise. But he just didn't expect his system, to grant him reputation points at this time.

[Well it's only fair, considering as the name implies.]

Turning he raised his hand like a true leader, his eyes glowing a sinister of one dark and the other red. His aura slowly crept out from him like a dark fog, making the goblins and trolls pause a bit at the outburst of this terrifying strength.

[Killing intent: 130]

[All stats have been doubled!]

"Let's give them hell!" Kyle grinned, appearing in front of the first group of ten goblins. Using his leg, he sent a kick out to the first two making them cough out dark blood. Not stopping, he avoided the clubs of the two trolls sending out his fist to their chest, creating a hole quickly killing them.

Grabbing their clubs he moved like a madman, furiously swinging the spiked clubs bashing their heads and bodies. Xia and Ron moved like a team, perfectly avoiding their strikes swiftly launching attacks of their own.

The prisoners didn't also falter, as they charged without fear attacking the goblins and trolls. They were a bit faster than the goblins and trolls, but that was it. The goblins and trolls overpowered them, in strength and resistance. Using their dark weapons, to slaughter a great amount of the prisoners.

The prisoners also had a few of the brown staffs and some clubs they salvaged, inflicting damage to the goblins and trolls body. It was a full hardcore fight that lasted for about 30 minutes, before Kyle's team eventually won.

Looking at them, Kyle could see they lost a great amount of prisoners but he wasn't that fazed, as they still had much more. Advancing forward, they made their way more into hell as they burst out into yet another territory. This section was much larger than the last, with much more creatures from hell like goblins, trolls, strange black birds that looked like dragons, and lastly wraiths.

[Kyle, I can sense some of these creatures are in the E rank.] Snow said with a bit of worry in her tone, to which Kyle nodded. He understood what it meant to be in an e rank, as he'd experienced firsthand from his battle with the necrolites.

With their numbers it wasn't hard before they were spotted, as the creature's snarled at them charging with crazed eyes. They then came charging at them, with weapons pointed.

Engaging in battle, Kyle decided to switch to death's call since it was more effective than dark flames, and he didn't have to bother about his demon energy running out.

'Boom! boom! boom!'

Small explosions occured, as Kyle fired of the dark spiked spinning balls of death. Exploding upon impact blasting some goblins away, while the dark chains sprung from the ground wrapping the unlucky ones caught in it.

"Fuck! I can't move." a goblin yelled, struggling to break free.

"Arghhh! I can feel my life being sucked out from me." Another yelled coughing up black blood. But no matter how much they struggled to break free, the chains didn't budge. Tightening with each movement they made to escape, further coiling them like a snake constricting them.

"W-why the hell are you turning on your own kind demon?!" Another goblin roared with rage staring at Kyle. Chuckling a bit, he simply walked forward standing just in front of them.

"Simple.. because am evil. It's in our nature to be evil, isn't it?" Kyle calmly said with an indifferent expression, further enraging the goblin. It didn't take long before the chains strangled them, dropping their dead bodies to the floor.

Shaking his head, he continued with his onslought using death's call and sometimes using his brute strength and speed, just for the thrill of it. With every movement Kyle made, a goblin or troll would fall to the ground dead. Some of the prisoners were also being killed, but the goblins and trolls fell much faster and soon their numbers were destroyed.

Looking ahead, Kyle could see a a ghostly presence moving with terrifying speed with it's dark hollow eyes.

"Wraith." Kyle muttered observing the creature. He could see it wasn't anything like the goblins or trolls, as it was much more terrible and annoying to deal with because of their speed.

[Kyle, I'd suggest you proceed with extreme caution. These wraiths, they're the ones in rank e] snow warned, and Kyle could really sense the worry in her tone as she wasn't joking around.

'I understand, but a bunch of wraiths don't scare me.' Kyle scoffed charging out to the wraiths, utilizing his high agility he sent a fist out. But just as his fist was inches from the wraith's face, it simply passed through to the other side along with his body.

'What the?' Kyle was confused, as he simply phased the wraith like flying through air.

[Kyle watch out!] Snow's voice snapped him from his thoughts, as he could see the wraiths claw like misty hand descending upon him. Crossing his arms together he attempted to block the hit, but the wraith's hand simply passed through his defenses.

[-7hp]

"Argh!" Kyle shouted in pain clutching his chest, as there was now a claw mark there.
