"Ah! ah... please, mercy!" The fat middle-aged man crawled with his last strength towards the youth in the mask; tears from his legs were scattered throughout the room and a trail of blood was created behind him. Xiao Xun was very surprised that he hadn't fainted yet. "Why... are you doing... that?" What used to be a beautiful woman and now is a useless pile of meat whispered from the corner of the room.
"Don't worry, I'm going to give you a nice and fun way to survive. All you have to do is kill the rest, isn't that nice of me?"
"You... monster... do you think we're... like you? None of our family isn't, AHH!" The pile of meat didn't have time to finish the sentence before the young boy next to her grabbed his father's thighbone and stabbed her. "Jer..mey?"
"I'm sorry mom, but don't you think that one of us must survive?" Aside from his bound legs and the scratch on his cheek, the boy was just fine. The tears in his eyes and a hideous smile combined into a horrifying expression as he deepened the wound, pushing the bone deeper into the flesh. "I'm the one with the best chance of surviving, mom; don't you think it's my duty to come back?"
"You... monster..." It's not known who the woman meant this time, but unfortunately, she will no longer be able to explain.
By the time their moving dialogue took place, the man had already fainted; it seemed that even if the boy left him alone he would die of blood loss.
"Great! It seems like we have a winner! Congratulations and good luck!" The masked youth patted the boy's head and turned to the door.
"Hey! Untie me first! hey!" The boy bounced with his legs tied towards the door, but it slammed in his face before he had time to arrive and the sound of the door locking was heard.
"The deal was that the last of you would survive; I didn't say anything about being released! Don't worry, the search expedition is probably already on its way, it's one of your father's assets so it probably will not take more than a month for them to reach you, and not like I didn't leave you food there!"
The boy looked at the empty room except for his parents' shattered bodies.Food...?
[Tasks 1 and 2 have been completed, the system calculations show that Task 3 will be completed with 99.8% certainty in the coming week automatically, 1,500 points have been added to your account, would you like to stay or leave?]
"leave"
****************************************************
[Host, how did the mission not fail? You were completely ooc!]
"How exactly was I ooc?" Xiao Xun lied on his unbelievably soft bed: "I did exactly what the original owner would have done."
[How?!]
"Do you think that if the original owner had the power, he wouldn't do it?" The system stopped for a second before responding. [Well, he would, but the whole point was that he couldn't do it!]
"But I have the power, and because I was the current owner, it means that no matter what I do, I would ooc. Because if I have the power, courage, and planning ability to do it and I don't do it, it is ooc, and if I have the power and I use it, it is ooc because the original owner didn't have the power. Both options had to ooc , so the central world approved of both."
Contrary to popular belief, systems were not supercomputers. More often than not they were bureau workers for whom the best option in calculating their total points was to erase their memory and become supportive devices for the rest of the workers. Without body, memory, or free will. It was pretty cruel when you think about it.
On the other hand, only employees with a failure rate of over 80% after five tasks become systems, so for the most part they are not particularly talented or geniuses, which makes them quite easy to fool around with.
[The host has gone through nine tasks and currently earned 13,500 points; your final total points are 500, and you are released from bureau work. Would you like to continue working at the bureau of your own free will?]
"No!"
[So please choose how you would like to continue your existence:
1. Delete your existence.
2. Reincarnation
3. Start a life in a D ranked paradise.
4. Supervisor
You can continue to earn points at work for living in a better rank of paradise, for better reincarnation, or for living in a bureau.]
"Supervisor? What is it?"
[Development of your current job in the department is most often available to those whose total points exceed 15,000,000.]
There are quite a few people who chose to continue working in the bureau even after repaying their debt. As the amount of their points increases, they have to work less, they have developed many skills and their living conditions are of the highest rank.
Xiao Xun wasn't an ambitious man, and there were no plans to continue working, but...
"15,000,000 points? Why was that offered to me?"
[Unclear.]
Xiao Xun was a little interested. "What exactly is this job?"
[Every so often there is an anomaly that is not specified in the world book.
One has to enter this world, find out the source of the anomaly and report it. The payment is 100,000 points per month, whether you perform a task or not.
For each mission you will receive a bonus that must be no less than 300% of your salary and will change according to the world rankings. Tasks are mandatory and cannot be abandoned; in case of failure, one has to go back in time and perform the task again.
In cases of repeated failure, the task will be transferred to another supervisor.
After signing a contract, the supervisor obliges you to the first 10 tasks with the possibility of extension to 15 under the same conditions; would you be interested?]
That. Was. Awesome!
No punishment for failure? Interval of hundreds of years between missions? 100,000 points as salary per month without fulfilling perverted and morbid wishes? To live in the central world, whose rank is even higher than heaven at the highest rank?
"I'll take it!"
[Great, the first mission is about to start in 3 minutes.]
"What?!" Xiao Xun straightened up. "Didn't you say that on average, a mission appears once every few hundred years?!"
[That's accurate, you probably have some bad luck?]
Xiao Xun: "..."
[Transfer in 3... 2... 1...]
[Wishing the host to succeed in hiding his lazy, junky nature.]
