???
A blue panel floats in a dark place with no end in sight. The room is like a void where nothing can escape, like a prison.
{And then there were 12, well, 11 now.}
The panel shows a woman with a black, long, spear-like spine embedded in her stomach.
"What did I ever do to deserve this, basta.....?" Her voice trails off as her breathing slows until it stops completely.
{The Last of the previous generation has now been killed by experiment G-65-6-26: Predator.}
{Cause of death: overconfidence and faith in the system in essence stupidity}
{Solution upgrade system to K mode.}
{The System will now aim to kill participants and will only help participants when it sees fit.}
{The System will now be given the new software, AHB.}
The void seemingly watching the blue panel speaks for the first time, "Let's give them hell."
"It's all for the sake of ******************."
"Their only use is their death, after all."
And the panels expand into the 11 hologram-like landscapes, each about 5 meters in area,
"Give me a rundown."
{Sky Crest was born to a commoner in the elven kingdom. pure-blooded elf, which has shown great promise in magic and is the catalyst.}
"So she is the catalyst for this round."
{Her known weakness is that she is too soft.}
"Then harden her to be a diamond in the rough."
"Kill her feelings of emotion if you have to."
{Kia Shoto was born in the human kingdom as a noble but with hydra blood.}
"Oh, he isn't dead?"
{shows great promise in the art of running away, which combines well with his excellent regeneration speed but tends to make him give up easily.}
"So a little scout."
{His known weakness is his temper.}
"Piss him off a lot."
{That was the plan.}
"You truly get me, but I still hate you deeply."
{Elvis Lord, born half-bred between an elf and a dragon, shows signs of promise in terms of battle IQ.}
"As to be expected of someone with his kind of soul."
{known but still developing weakness over confidence}
"Oh, that's simple; just don't kill him till after his overconfidence in his abilities exists, then put him in a fight he thinks he will win, then make him lose randomly, but make it look like it was his pride's fault, and problem solved."
{That's a bit complicated.}
"But it's not a problem for you, so deal with it."
{Asshole detected}
"Fuck you"
{ Dante Smith shows immense prowess in all combat-based fields and will do whatever it takes to complete his goal.}
"So he is a danger to his allies if they aren't careful?"
{Precisely}
"Hmm, okay next."
{Testuki, born in a poor city in the demon kingdom, has notable intelligence in business but is bad at most things combat-wise due to bodily limitations.}
"We'll just motivate him."
{Azula Mitsu is a bit of a troubled character; lists her parents as the person she resected, and she is born as a homo arachnid type, which is the most hated species in the demon kingdom for unknown reasons.}
"So use her to find out; also, her weakness is obvious; get rid of it."
{Understood}
"Next"
{Marciano Void shows incredible promise in all fields and has been isolated in a separate dimension to focus. He is a demon lord candidate with a considerable amount of intelligence.}
"Oh, finally, someone with great promise."
{He doesn't have the personality to fulfill this role, though, and breaks down easily under stress, although he has a high sense of duty, so it's alright for the time being.}
"Goddamn it, what's wrong with all of them?"
"Are they having a midlife crisis or something?"
{This is why I advised you not to smoke dark matter before selection.}
"..."
"The shit wasn't even strong enough to make me high."
{I swapped it out}
"Fuck, I hate you."
{I love you too.}
"Anyway, we will wait, but if he doesn't change, pressurize him."
{Yeah, so... I might have already...}
"And you wonder why I hate you."
{....}
{Ted Black is a special one out of all of them, though.}
"How so?"
{He is the only one who instantly deduced the basics of his reincarnation and has made the most progress toward power out of all of them.}
{He even has a set of magic and skills that fit his character.}
{I have taken a liking to him.}
"Of course you have."
"Anyone annoying to me you love them"
{It is all for my mission of course}
{Kendrick Mckenney is a noble of the elven kingdom who is groomed to kill.}
"And..."
{And nothing he is groomed to kill }
"...."
{Are you still high? You seem slower than normal.}
"Just start the next one; we are almost done. I just need to survive till then."
{Jugo Lord. I may have gone too far with him.}
"****, what did you do?!"
{I may or may not have sent him a voice note.}
{But before you get mad, I only said one word.}
"You spoke. Wait, did you sneak into my shit again and send a voice note with it?!"
{Travis Black is an entitled spoilt brat and is demon royalty.}
{Ok, then nice work.}
{bye}
With that, the blue panel disappeared, leaving the void alone to ponder his thoughts.
"Damn that shithead."
"Why do I have to deal with this?"
"Jugo will probably be fine", As the voices seemed to relax, a long, exasperated sigh could be heard.
"After all, it is entertainment for you all." The void seemed to stare back.
