Shane squinted his eyes at the screen in front of him. Since he would have to destroy an entire world, he could safely assume that he might face the worst-case scenario. He glanced at the first option.
Vampires were meant to suck away your blood, and since it was a world filled with those beings, he could tell what kind of situation he might end up landing in—
No humans or animals would be alive.
Massive war-like conditions for food.
Killing one another.
No way. He didn't want his host to be hungry at all times and feel the same excessive hunger himself. He might as well directly go out for a battle world. At least, he knew it was an ongoing battle. It was better than feeling hungry and drinking blood.
Without hesitation, he clicked on the second option. As soon as he clicked, the window disappeared with a flash and another pop-up appeared.
[Initializing….]
[Please wait….]
[Ready to enter….]
[Please, click enter]
Shane clicked that tab as his entire body disappeared from that place. The next moment, he opened his eyes in a tattered house made out of wooden blocks and dried grass. The body he was in slept curled up against the cold floor wearing thin robes. It seemed as if the person was thin and skinny enough to feel bones as the body looked down.
Then Shane heard a few words in his mind….
"Where the hell am I?!"
"What's going on?"
"Wasn't I sleeping in my bedroom after finishing my homework?!"
Shane got a headache after listening to that confusing voice of a teenager. He wanted to press his forehead only to realize that he couldn't touch it. It took him a moment to remember the details he had learned about the system job earlier a few days ago.
Master Ed had mentioned to him and the other students that after entering this dimension and choosing a world, the systems would be sent inside the body where the host would also enter at the same time. The only problem was that Shane wouldn't be the one in control of the body. He would only sit back in his mind and experience everything that the host would.
This would be like he was locked inside a body while a soul had possessed it, rendering him useless. This situation was no less than that of a prison. Earlier when he had heard of this, he didn't think much of it.
Now that he experienced it firsthand, he couldn't help but want to gulp. If he still had his body, he would have sweated and his face would have turned pale as well, but since he was inside a body that wasn't his own, he couldn't do a f*cking thing!
Shane's anxiety rose to the point that he wanted to exit right at this moment, but when he remembered the punishment thing, he suppressed his emotions and focused on the task.
He could still hear the host's thoughts well as if someone was speaking close to his ears. The only relieving thing in this situation was that this host and the world he had entered weren't real.
Then a pop-up appeared in front of his eyes—
[Do you want to block useless thoughts of the host?]
Shane thought for a while then pressed no. If he couldn't hear the host's thoughts, how would he end up conversing with this person? He was told that he would have to 'talk' to the hosts through his mind. The only difference was that Shane could control what the host would hear. A wave of relief washed over his mental body inside the host.
So he cleared his throat and said what was taught to him earlier, "Host, I'm system 12254801, and you've been given a second chance at living."
"F*cking hell! When did I die?" The teenager's high-pitched voice echoed in Shane's mind, making him want to hit the host's head, but he curbed his emotions.
"Host, please don't think so loudly. I'm still in your mind."
"So you mean you can hear my thoughts."
Shane hummed, "That's right. And you died for sure," at least, that's what Shane assumed. He hadn't even checked the host's personal data. So he opened his mouth and muttered some nonsense, "Please wait. I'm calculating the data."
What calculating data? Shane just wanted to check out the world's and host's information before saying another word. Even though this job wasn't as good and unique as he had imagined, he still wanted to do it better. Secondly, he was afraid of this unknown punishment that was hovering above his head as if it were nothing but a sharp sword.
So he blocked his voice from the host from the pop-up that appeared in his mind and said, "Menu."
A familiar interface appeared in his head as he glanced at the dashboard. He could see that his own stats had increased after practicing fighting skills for so many days. Strength, stamina, agility, attack, and CE resistance all rose by one. Shane couldn't help narrow his mental eyes. Only by one? That was too little!
Right above his stats, he could see various tabs that he had recently gone through, including tasks, skills, weapons, forum, inventory, shop, Crana PayWorld, browser, report, and help. The first one was the job.
This was the only option he couldn't click unless he had started doing his job. Other items such as his bodily and Crana stats would be updated every time he finished a task. Even if he didn't take up a task, his stats would be updated at the end of the day.
But this time, he didn't glance at other tabs and directly clicked on the 'job' option above. His interface changed and a page similar to the dashboard appeared in his mind. It was just that this window showed the stats of the host and his basic detail.

Wait, luck was minus twenty? What the f*ck did this mean?! Shane couldn't help but stare at that aspect for a long while. He sighed and then clicked at the world setting tab above. Soon after that, the interface changed and the information about this world finally appeared in front of Shane's eyes.
