Chereads / Rise of the Demon Girl / Chapter 4 - Knowledgeable System

Chapter 4 - Knowledgeable System

Yelena looked at the screen and began reading everything. And after a while, she stopped reading. "Can you give me a reference so that I can compare? Like what's the strength of an adult male."

[The average stat for a normal human being is around 7 to Strength, agility, intelligence and vitality. Your stats are better than the average male since your body contains mana and the humans don't have that luxury. So even though you have malnutrition and a weak body you will still be an unnatural entity.]

"I don't have any skills yet. I'm guessing I'm going to get some, and what does MP and HP mean?" She said in a confused tone. During her entire life, she hasn't played any video games and because she stayed in the asylum. She doesn't even know what the system can do.

[Hp mean heath point, your very life force. If your heath reaches zero, you will die and be dragged to hell to be tortured for eternity due to being bound by an entity of hell. MP means your magic points, with this you can use magic and to use it depends on which magic you use.]

"I see and how do I gain skills?" She said while putting her hand on her chin.

[To earn skill, you have to earn them by buying them at the "shop" or by finishing a "Quest". And the skills have a levelling system.]

"Level?" She told her head, still confused since she hasn't play video games.

[Indeed, to gain a level for a skill, you have to become more proficient at it but the most efficient way to level them is for the host to kill human beings with it and you can gain exp to level up and become more powerful.]

"I'm guessing that my own level works in a similar way."

[Indeed, but your level increases by absorbing the soul of your enemy. So the more souls you absorb, the more powerful you can be.]

"And how do I absorb a soul? I don't have any skills right?" She asked with a puzzled look.

[The host will not need to worry about that. I, your system, will be collecting the souls passively and keep it in the system for your use.]

"Why not just instantly use it for the levels?" She frowned.

[The shop option will only be able to be bought by using souls. There is also the sell option. Which will convert the item into souls. The items are from hell and can only be transported by using a medium and offering. The medium is the system and the offering will be the souls.]

"So if I kill more humans, I get more powerful, right?" As she looked at the hologram.

[Yes, host.]

"There's also the option for missions right? So what kind of missions are you offering?"

[Mission: Escape the forest.

Description: You are currently in an unknown forest in part of Japan and must find a way to get out of it before any danger may befall you. You will need to get out of the forest and go into the city.

Reward: Beginner Pack]

"A beginner pack?"

[The beginner pack is something integrated by the "Leviathan" when he gave the system to the host.]

"What an old softie." A grin formed from her mouth. But then a frown appeared. "It seems I really became a completely different person. Yelena would of still been scared but I don't have that fear. System will there be any side effects from two souls combining. I don't think two minds being together would be completely safe."

[Originally there would be side effects but it was solved by using the system. The Sin of Envy only used a very small proportion of its own soul to fuse with yours.]

"I see... let's go finish this mission first." She started walking towards the forest only to stop. "Uhm, I don't suppose you can tell me which way the city is."

[Unfortunately, I cannot help you with things like this. I can only help guide you when you use the system.]

She let out a deep sigh. "Just great."

Back in the asylum, the cops were there in an office with some guards talking about the recent inmate that escape and die.

"We've seen the tape. Seems like in an act of desperation, she resorted to killing her hostage and you shot her before she could harm anyone else." One of the police officers explained to a guard.

"That's right. Are you going to look for her?" The guard asked.

"We'll have a small search team look for her body. It should be close to water."

"Is that going to be it? Or are there any more questions."

"No that's it. Thank you for your cooperation." The officer then left the room with his partner. When they were far enough, the officer turned to his partner. "What do you think of this?"

His partner then looked at him. "What's there to think of? A crazy girl killed a guard and she's now dead."

"Yeah but I feel like there's something more." He was pondering. "Besides, this must be fate. Didn't you have a case with her when she killed all these children."

"There's no such thing as fate. I was assigned here Because I had a case with her." He then walked away from his partner.

"Always so serious Masanori." He sighed and then ran to catch up with him.

Outside the forest, Yelena walked out of the forest and was a bit drenched.

[Mission: Escape the forest has been completed. You have received a beginner pack.]

"Even with my new physique, it took me 7 hours of walking." She sat down and placed herself next to a tree.

[All functions of the system will now be unlocked. 'Shop', 'Quest', 'Inventory' and 'Stats' are now unlocked and can be used.]

[All items given or bought the system will automatically be placed in the inventory.]

She then went to 'Inventory' and saw 1 item in there and pulled it out. The beginner pack looked like a present but was black and had an ominous demonic look on it.

"Truly an item from hell." A little smile appeared on her face. "All right, let's see what the beginner pack has to offer." She began unwrapping the present and found that inside the was... clothes!?

"I got... clothes? That's kind of disappointing but this was an easy mission so I guess it makes sense." A new screen appeared before her when she took the clothes out of the pack.

"So... they all when to the inventory." she switched into her inventory and see 50 slots, and few slots has been fill with clothes. She wore all the clothes which displayed herself in the system so that she could see what she looked like.

She wears a grey shirt underneath her black jacket that has a red line in her handle, a short black skirt with red colour at the bottom and long black tight socks that went up to her thigh, she also wears a black and red scarf.

She looked at herself and nodded her head. "Is it because of my human side or my demon side that I approve of this outfit."
