Shane didn't know what was happening outside. He didn't realize that in a couple of minutes, his entire life was going to turn around. The villains behind the scenes were finally willing to act and do something about him.

He had long known that he was like a bone stuck in the villain's throats because of his powers. He wanted to practice after finishing up the exam and train under Ed for a while.

It was just that his thinking was too naive. He was still not mentally and emotionally prepared for what was to come.

At this time, Shane was focused on finishing his mission firsthand. He stared at the mission tab and glanced at the latest task he had just received.

"Lead the group and take the weapon."

Shane nodded in satisfaction as he said, "It's a good thing that we are going to lead the group."

"Why?"

"I don't want to follow others." Shane had never been the person to follow anyone's orders. This aspect made troubled him during his college days back on Earth.

Samuel shrugged and stood up. They were still on the open ground as they all finished their food and rested for a while. Some of them were even eating healing pills and potions.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Shouldn't we follow our new mission?"

"Why are you in a hurry?" one guy spoke as he pressed a hand on his shoulder, massaging it. "I'm already tired. We have been on and on for days, and I don't want to go on anymore."

"That's true. We need rest."

"Who are you to tell us what we should do, ah?"

It was clear that none of these people had seen what the mission was!

Samuel didn't get frustrated after hearing this. It was all under his expectations. He opened his mouth and said, "Well then, I'll go alone and take the rewards. You guys can rest here."

"What rewards?"

Of course, the demon-killing sword wasn't the only thing they could receive from the dungeon. Those words piqued everyone's attention as they quickly opened their system interfaces. They were surprised to see a time limit to the latest mission!

Only two days!

Just how were they supposed to finish this mission now?

Everyone's faces turned green. The worse thing was that a person named Samuel was their leader.

Finally, after a while, someone asked, "Why do we have to follow someone?"

"Because," Samuel squinted his eyes and put his hands in his pockets, "I came here first. This is my reward."

No one said anything after this, even though they were all dissatisfied with this arrangement. Finally, after resting for a few more minutes, they all stood up and got ready to enter the dungeon.

The radar showed the direction, but only Shane could see this direction since his host was the first to reach the place. Others could only follow their unappointed and forced leader.

As the hosts walked through the dense forest in the north, he started reading the chat in the inbox.

historical

"This is so unfair."

"Why did Shane get to be the leader's system?"

"No, the question is, how come he managed to help his host come first? Don't you think something smells fishy?"

At that time, Tess jumped and scolded everyone in the chat: "If you have the capability, you should have done it faster than him! Don't bully my brother just because he doesn't say anything!"

Shane pressed his finger on his forehead. He wasn't replying because he didn't think this small matter deserved his attention. He sighed but still felt warm from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh, here comes the protective hot sister~."

"I wish she could be my girlfriend."

Veins popped up on Shane's forehead as he stared at the chat. He finally typed a few words and sent a reply:

"Those who want to die can continue speaking about my sister in that manner."

For a minute, everyone was silent before thundering into laughter. None of those people took Shane seriously as they commented against him one after another.

"This guy thinks he's a CEO or something."

"It's so funny. He's supposed to be the weakest of us all! Where does he get the confidence to talk back to us?"

"He's simply useless. Ignore him."

Tess got angry again after watching things play like this. She raised her hands and started typing again.

"If either of you talks bad of my brother, I'll hate ya all to eternity!" she paused for a moment as if thinking of something and wrote: "Don't get me wrong. I don't care about either of you, but I can befriend some who aren't perverts."

Shane looked at her chat with a satisfied expression on his face. For some reason, his shoulders relaxed as he felt his sister might have a chance to survive this place without his presence.

He tagged his sister and wrote, "Don't care about them. Focus only on Frank."

He could imagine her shocked and choked-up expression after reading this. The corners of his lips curved up to form a warm smile.

Sure enough. Tess private messaged him. "STOP TYPING!!!!!! SHANE, I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T!"

"Then get in a relationship, won't you?" Shane also teased. If they were still on Earth, he would have knocked at Frank's door and threatened the guy for chasing his sister. But here, they were already in danger every day. It wouldn't be bad for his sister to fulfill her desires a bit.

At this moment, he didn't know that this was probably the only last bit of peaceful memory that would torment him for years to come.

Tess soon replied: "I'm warning you! Don't enter the danger zone!"

"But you two are way too obvious."

"No, we aren't!" Tess sent another message after this. "I just like teasing him..."

"There, your heart is revealed. I'll screenshot this and send it to Frank right now."

Shane even did what he said, receiving a series of ellipses as a reply. He ignored Frank and focused on replying to his sister. He quickly screenshotted Frank's response and sent it to Tess. Then he typed:

"You have to do a better job at teasing him. A lover shouldn't have this kind of reply."

"You... Shane, are you sure you're my brother? Bros aren't supposed to urge their sisters to date!"

"I'm a modern brother." Shane was having fun teasing the girl when he suddenly heard his host speaking.

"Why is there an Earthquake?"

Shane frowned as he opened the radar and system notification section. There was nothing out of the ordinary as he checked everything. His frown deepened. For some reason, he felt like something terrible was going to happen. He couldn't shake this feeling off as he quickly opened the message box and texted Tess.

"Something's happening. Be careful."

He didn't get a second chance when the trembling worsened. His eyes focused on the screen as he stared without blinking. The feeling about something terrible happening didn't fade away. It only deepened as the minutes passed.

Perhaps he should ask Dirt whether he could ask his sister to eject. At least, among the two, the girl would be fine.

Just as he was about to text the robot, he saw the ground splitting apart as if something had cut it with a knife. Several hooded people rose in the air from beneath the ground as they all stood there. It almost felt as if their bodies were tied to suspension ropes.

The man standing in the front didn't reveal his face, but a hood covered it, only revealing his smirking lips.

Shane couldn't help but feel a familiar vibe from the man. He pursed his lips as he watched.

"Greetings, systems."

Only when he heard the man's voice did he realize who it was! It was the demon who had appeared in the first exam world when his host was Angela! Shane couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. If this person was here, it could mean that the server was hacked again.

Did something happen to Ed and Dirt outside?

Shane didn't know what to do. He immediately contacted Dirt, but his messages couldn't be sent again.

At this time, he heard the demon chuckle again. "System 12254801, you are really a bad student. I need a spanking from this teacher."

Shane could now confirm that this demon's target was him. So he immediately texted his sister.

"Eject! Right now!"

But Tess no longer replied. This made Shane even more anxious. A moment ago, the girl was chatting with him without any hindrance. Did something happen to hamper her?

As seconds ticked by, Shane's breathing grew heavier. Anxiety twisted his heart into knots as he continued sending one text after another. Just then, the demon's voice echoed, "Don't bother. She is not going to reply. In fact, no one will reply to you from now until this play is over. Everyone has fallen into my control, under the palm of my hands."

Dark lifted his hand as he tried o control Shane but failed miserably. The thread coming out of his hand was cut off as soon as he reached Shane.

He sighed, "I still can't control you at all. That's why it is so necessary to force you to submit."

After saying that, he raised his hand as all the hosts started dying, leaving only Samuel alive. Dark smiled again as he grabbed the puny human's neck and squeezed it with his own hands.

Now, everyone was dead, and they had probably gone back to the system world. Now, things had just started. The main course was just about to begin.
