Chapter 2 - The Mysterious Figure in the Darkness

'Hmm, I don't get it as to why though I am in this place and where is this place is it hell?.'

Ron was deducting things by himself with all the wild imagination he could the he remembered there was a voice in his mind before so he asked

" System"

*What can I do for you.?*

A plain female voice came in to reply his call.

He was not sure if the voice was coming from his ears or his head.

He Imagined as if there was someone right beside him talking to him.

By reading all those novels online he could make out that he was given a system because he had been Transmigrated to another world so he did not talk much about its origin as he knows it's futile to ask as even it itself didn't know.

"So Where am I or what kind of place is this?"

* The system cannot scan the interior of this place as it does not exists in reality. According to the information in the database this place exists in between space and land.

you can call it as being an independent space

detached from the world*

After reading a lot of novel he know this is another subspace created.

Ron asked again to clarify his doubts.

" So who created this space or was it formed naturally.!?"

* There are two kind of this spaces but this space was formed by another entity of another realm*

" I see."

Ron was thinking if this space was formed by another person or creature and if he is truly in another world there should be some inheritance but most of these kind of spaces usually have a lot of traps which can get life threatening so he dropped the idea to go search for it. He didn't want to die again.

"System can you exit this space?"

*No...*

"Wh....what..? Am I gonna be locked in this space forever.? Can't you do anything system..

Can you give me any hope.!?Just a little bit.ahh"

Ron started panicking from the system reply.

If he was gonna be stuck in this place for ever then what was the use of being Transmigrated to this shit-hole . Even staying on Earth would be better than this dark place. There was still entertainment and freedom.

" Sigh"

Ron stared despairing at this moment but a voice from his mind saved him from falling back.

*System requires 24 hours to scan the surrounding and look for the exit or vulnerable places in the space *

"Ahhhh...Hahaha. How can I even forget I had a golden finger here... System why did you deny when I ask if you could exit this space.."

* The system does not have the capability to exit this space lest the host has to travel by himself towards the place. I go where the host goes*

"....ahh"

Ron was speechless what the hell is this system .

" Ok It was my wrong way of asking the question. So I can get out of this space right!?."

*No*

".....Fffffffff...Calm down. calm down It just a stupid system."

Ron was pissed now as to what is with this system is this thing bugged.

"So system why did you say that you were scanning this space when I can not exit this space.?"

Ron was controlling his anger at this moment.

* The host has no capabilities but with the help of the system scanning the host can leave this space.*

"..."

Ron was speechless did this system just indirectly called me useless.

" Who are you calling useless!?"

* The system did not call anyone useless*

"You...Fuck it"

Ron was pissed and did not want to argue with the system anymore and kept silent.

Ron was thinking to himself these system Shouldn't have sentience but his system was weird. From the conversation he felt like that it was a person was mocking him from the shadows.

...

Ron was trying to remember anything about the past owner of the body but he found no clue as to whose body this belongs.

There are just some fragmented faces of people and nothing more.

1 Hour..

2 Hour...

3 Hour..

Ron was tired waiting so he slept.

After 6 hours he woke up to realize he couldn't sleep anymore. He didn't dare take a step away from his position as for fearing the traps which may suddenly spring up afterwards.

Time passed by as Ron was fully ideal with nothing to do .

He blankly stared into the darkness and sighed. There could be a treasure in here but he did not have the strength or confidence to go.

More the 12 Hours had passed but Ron felt like he waited for a very long time.

Time flowed and Ron looked into the darkness but then he saw a light flashed in the darkness briefly. Which was enough for him to notice as stuck out like a sore thumb in this darkness.

'It is a trap don't go Ron.. It is a trap.'

The catious mind Ron told himself but there was another feeling which was stronger than the cautious one.

'There may be treasures there. Even if you just scratch the exterior and found any treasure it may help you in the outside world.'

Curiosity mind Ron was telling himself.

He was conflicted about whether his life was important or the treasure which could make his future outside more easy.

But Curiousity got the better of all other feelings as he unknowingly walked a few meters towards the light's direction.

..

...

....

Ron walked but he seemed as if he not making any progress.

He travelled but it seems the light is fading away which made Ron more panic so he ran forward but then the light just vanished .

Ron was speechless

' I walked and chased the light for hours but it just vanished Are you playing with me.?'

Ron wanted to curse this place but then he sighed and touched the ground to find a place to sit and rest but he felt something weird down there when he touched it. He felt like he poked into something soft but couldn't tell

He ran to the back as hurriedly as he felt a weird feeling.

He turned around but saw that the light appeared again then he bent down to see the floor .

As the light reflected to his eyes and shone the surrounding he saw that the floor was covered with corpses of human.

It seemed as if they have rotten.

There was no blood but the corpses seemed more like a mannequin which was throw away.

Ron saw this but he did not know how to react. Should he scream and run back .?

But this is another world and humans who are weak will die as if they are disposal against the strong ready to be used and thrown.

He saw that the corpses had jewelleries on their hand so he went to the front but the light faded again and there was total darkness.

' Mother F***er Light, Can't you just shine so that I can grab some things here.?'

Ron was helpless as what to do..The light just fades when he takes a step forward but when he goes back it shines again.

Ron had no choice but to remember the position of the darkness and fish out the rings and necklaces in that place.

Ron remembered some of it and went forward to take it ... He stretch out his hands to reach to touch the corpse and touch the cold body as he felt it he would try to go towards the neck and then towards the hands.

Slowly he scavenged a lot of things and his neck and fingers had no more space to carry anything so he asked the system for help.

"System, Do you have an inventory or something with you so I can store these!?"

Ron was expectant mostly system had their own storage space which should be common but he was soon washed with disappointment .

* No, The system level is not yet upto there where it can own a subspace for storage.*

"So where do I store these things!? Do I have to leave it like this . I wouldn't be able to walk this way and would soon have too drop some."

Ron was close to tears So many good things and yet he can only carry some.

*The system detects that the host can store the thing in the storage rings which you have it on you.*

" Oh... Ahh. But How do I access the ring I'm still a newbie."

* As the host is lacking in spiritual energy the system will store it for you.*

" Ok then. System how can you use spiritual energy if you're just artificial intelligence."

Ron was watching as things started to slowly get inside the ring one by one and he asked the system as why it could use spiritual energy.

*I uses spiritual energy as a source to function so that is why I can use it and manipulate it easily.*

Ron could imagine the system with a woman figure with a proud look exposing to a snot nosed brat.

"..."

Ron decided to follow the light but he change his strategy this time and walked back to the darkness opposite to the light.

He walked for hours and hours and he seemed as if the surrounding started to shone with lights. The walls gave of green red and blue light. It was a fungus species which emits light in darkness.

He walked and found some dried corpses on the way of mainly men he seemed as if not finding any women corpses. He picked whatever valuables he could find on the way.

As he walked towards with caution he found that there seems like no more corpses around which made him more vigilant. So he hid behind rocks and went forward albeit slower than before. After seemingly reaching the end he saw a very big door .When he stepped forward the light from inside the room was too bright as he could not have expected .

It took him some time to get adapted to the brightness.

When he had adapted to he was agape and speechless

" Are you kidding me!? As****"

" System What the f***is this!?"
