Hair as white as snow, big doe eyes with the dual-color green and blue that welcomed people but at the same time could scare people, button round nose, and luscious red lips. Standing at a height of 5'8" (5 foot 8), with a model-like body - not too thin, not too athletic, just perfect for his fair skin complexion, reminiscent of maidens you see in fairy tales. With a sometimes bubbly, sometimes chill voice that complemented him well, he was known as Choi Yujun, the human mannequin.
"Please, Yujun, let me go just this once. I won't do it again," a cracked voice said, pleading while looking toward a stranger who had a twisted smile.
EARLIER THIS MORNING
Inside a bathroom, a man could be seen in a bathtub, drinking wine with his eyes closed, enjoying his leisure time. A twisted smile soon formed on his lips as he stood up, put on his robe, and went to his wardrobe. Another man lay on the floor with a blindfold over his eyes, socks in his mouth, and a knife on his chest, surrounded by dried blood. The man from earlier walked past the dead man as if he didn't see him there and went to get dressed in a blue and white plaid top, black jeans, white sneakers, and matching jewelry. "You only reap what you sow. Now, for my next prey," the man said and went outside. "Take care of that mess," he said, smiling at the man beside him before exiting.
The man stepped outside of his car and took a taxi to his workplace. When he arrived, he was greeted by many people, to whom he returned a blinding smile. He was a beauty, after all, and there was not a person who didn't fall for him or show even an ounce of disinterest. Adored and worshipped by both men and women, what wasn't there to love about him? He walked into his office, sat down in his chair, and still had a smile on his face. "Simpletons, look at them lusting over my body. *Tch*, disgusting," he said as he placed the straw of his coffee in his mouth.
"Yujun, the boss has requested your presence," a voice came from outside, making Yujun frown. He stood up and went to open the door, giving the person a smile that left them frozen. "I will be on my way then," Yujun said as he walked away, leaving the frozen person behind. "Yize, control yourself. You are married, and you love your wife," Yize said and left the office.
Meanwhile, Yujun knocked on his boss's office door, with disgust written on his face. "Come in," he heard, putting on a fake smile as he opened the door. "Good morning, boss," he said with a forced smile, hiding his disgust. Yujun's boss stood up from his chair and smiled at him, not bothering to hide his lust for him. "Yujun, dear, have you thought about what I said? It will be very profitable, don't you think?" Yujun's boss asked, going to hold his hand and ushering him to sit down. Yujun stared at his boss's hand with disgust before taking a seat.
"Boss, I refuse. I can't stay with a married man. What do you think society will think of me?" he said, his facial expression showing a sad face. "Perverse old man, just you wait. I will give you a befitting death, and even your family will suffer," he thought, still wearing a sad expression. "Don't think about society; think about us. Don't you love me?" the old man said with a serious face as he sat in front of Yujun. "Ahh, boss, please let me think about it," Yujun said.
His boss said nothing but went to bring wine, poured it into a glass cup, and served it to Yujun. "Take this; it will help you think better," his boss said, urging him to drink, which Yujun did. After a few minutes, "Yujun, be careful. We can't have you with bruises now," the boss said as he took the already intoxicated Yujun to the room in his office.
"Hehehe, I am not drunk, okay? See, I can walk clearly," Yujun said as he tried to walk by himself but ended up falling. "Haha, it seems like I drank too much," he said as he fell asleep on the floor. "Pretty Yujun, after tonight, you won't have a choice but to stay with me," his boss said as he carried him into his room and placed him on his bed. Just as his boss was about to take off his shirt, Yujun woke up and grabbed a glass nearby, smashing it on his boss's head. "I don't have as much patience as most bad guys, so don't feel sad, okay? Haha, who am I kidding? Feel sad, because, after tonight, you won't be able to feel anything," Yujun spoke to the already unconscious man before he tied him up and left.
BACK TO REALITY
"At least spare my family," the man said, pleading. "Carry your legacy and your disgusting genes of leeching on younger ones? No," Yujun replied before taking the wine from his butler. "Open the blindfold," he told one of his men, who did as he was instructed. Yujun stared into the cold, blue eyes of the fat, old, perverted man's son and felt amused. A smirk rose on his lips. "I will only spare your first son, but the rest must die," he said as he approached the tied man. "What is your name?" Yujun asked, looking directly into the man's face. The tied man had mixed emotions of lust and anger on his face. "And why should I tell you?" the man asked, defiantly staring back at Yujun. "Blue on the left, green on the right. Not his normal eye color, right?" the man thought as he continued to stare.
"The reason why you're here is that the perverted old man intoxicated me and tried to sleep with my unconscious body," Yujun said, glaring at the old man who continued to look at Yujun with lust as if he didn't care about what was going on. "Pervert," Yujun spat as he went to kick him. "Back to my narration, so I brought you guys here to have fun and play with me. Now, the first game we'll play is a doctor. Your wife is the patient, and she is about to go into labor. 'Old man,' you are the doctor. Any questions?" Yujun said with a crazed smile, his eyes also revealing his true nature. "You're crazy. I hope karma treats you well," the woman spat. Yujun did not say anything but glanced at one of his men, who then went to slap the woman.
Kim Ji-hun watched the torture unfold. He witnessed his father ripping open his mother's stomach, the brutality escalating as his mother endured further torment. It seemed that killing his unborn brother was not enough. He observed his mother being raped and electrocuted to death. He was shattered, of course, but he didn't react or speak the way Yujun desired. Instead, he merely stared at the pool of blood and his mother's lifeless body.
After a few moments, he raised his head to gaze at the person standing before him. Initially, this person had appeared like an angel, but now their disguise had been torn away, revealing their true nature. "Choi Yujun, you are a devil in angel's clothing," he blurted out, his words filled with anguish. "Why did you kill my mother? I thought it was my father who had offended you. Why did you harm my mother?" he continued, voicing his pain and confusion. Then, he fell silent, as if he wasn't the one who had raised his voice.
Meanwhile, the person in question sat with a smile plastered on his face. "Now, handsome, it's your turn. Your game is 'Spin the Wheel'," Yujun said, taking a pause and waiting for the wheel to stop. "So, the rules are simple: spin the wheel, and whichever body part it lands on, you cut off. No cheating, or else I'll play the game for you," Yujun said, a glint of madness in his eyes as he smiled. "I almost forgot, your patient is your father," Yujun added, sitting down on his chair and urging the guard to spin the wheel. The warehouse was filled with screams from both the man and his son.
After this horrific event, Yujun returned to his home, took a bath, and finally went to sleep.
But what Yujun did not know was that it would be his last night in his home, as his house was set on fire. "Righteous system activated! Good day, host. My name is Luck, and I'll be responsible for your well-being throughout our mission. You can count on me," a bubbly voice came from a chibi fox, waking Yujun from his sleep. From the death stare, Yujun gave the chibi fox, it was clear he didn't appreciate the interruption. "Get out of my face and tell me when I wake up," Yujun grumbled, attempting to go back to sleep. His eyes widened when he realized he wasn't in his room. Instead of panicking, he turned to the chibi with a wicked smile forming on his lips. "You have five seconds to tell me where my bed is, or I promise to make your skull explode," he threatened with a smile.
Luck felt a chill just by looking at his host. "Host, please don't murder me. Your bed is in your world. As for where we are, we are in your mind space," Luck explained, looking at Yujun with its big doe eyes. "Never judge a book by its cover. The host may look like an angel, but its host is a devil," it whispered while observing its host. Yujun, uninterested, yawned and asked, "So what are you again?"
"Host, I am your system. The two of us are going to work together to ensure your safe return to your world. Please address me as Luck," the chibi fox answered.
Yujun, showing only slight interest, inquired, "What mission am I going to be doing?"
"We will travel into impious worlds and bring them back to the righteous path," Luck replied with anticipation that was not mirrored by Yujun's reaction.
"And if I refuse?" Yujun asked, not keen on becoming a hero, as all he wanted was to close his eyes and sleep.
"You die, and the curse of an entire universe falls upon your head, ensuring you are reincarnated into Hell, where you burn forever," Luck explained, hoping to scare its host. However, it was met with a devilish smile from Yujun.
"Forget being a demon. The host is the devil himself," thought Luck. "Fine, so what am I supposed to do in each of the worlds?" Yujun asked, reverting to his cold and beautiful demeanor.
"Host, the missions may differ, but there are two common goals: saving the protagonist and destroying the corrupted core of the world to restore it to its original glory," Luck explained with shining eyes.
"Please sign me up for a trip to Hell. At least it's more fun than being stuck saving worlds," Yujun retorted, clearly disagreeing with the notion of being a hero. He thought to himself that burning in Hell would be more enjoyable.
"Host, please consider. It will benefit you greatly. You will regain your old body and the world," Luck tried to persuade.
"So, all for a body, I would have to travel through infinite worlds?" Yujun questioned, his face showing he was not convinced in the slightest.
"Yes?" Luck responded. After much persuasion, Yujun finally agreed. "Which world are we going to first?" Yujun asked as he stretched a bit before walking.
"It is similar to your world, Host, but you will have a different body, name, occupation, and mission there," Luck explained, grinning from ear to ear while its tail moved back and forth, indicating its happiness.
"Is the host ready? Because we are departing soon," Luck announced, But no response came from Yujun, which Luck didn't mind, as a bright light engulfed them both...
