Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

With smile hanging on his face, Leo approached the motionless puppet on the ground, carefully opening its flesh before placing the golden sphere inside.

Humm–

In the next instant, the beating sounds of flesh and bones began to reverberate within the inanimate puppet on the cold ground. Its flesh began to twitch irritably as its six-pointed limbs, akin to whips with lengths that reach 2 meters, began to chaotically move on their own.

Its two heads, one facing the sky while the one submerged in the soil, began to create a giggling sound, akin to a demonic whisper that could move souls every time the connection between it and its core deepened.

Twitch~

Their eyelids began to slowly open, revealing their pure dark eyes, which lack iris... Releasing the terror they contained as they began to stand on their mutated feet.

"Death—No... Desires—"

Soon, after standing successfully, the transcended puppet's two heads suddenly halted their giggling; their faces, which stared in two different directions, suddenly revealed deep confusion, opening their mouths simultaneously, which revealed the dense, sharp teeth beyond that occupied all the space inside as they grinned afterward.

Giggling again before mumbling in a low yet deep voice, enough to shatter a mortal's mind.

Hearing this, Leo couldn't help but reveal confusion on his face, quite sure that the puppet he just created had no ability to speak... Since the inscription on its core only encompasses combat knowledge.

Feeling quite curious and at the same time fearing that he created a mistake earlier and missed it, Leo hurriedly checked the description of the puppet.

Ding!

"It was similar with those scarecrows; they were all labeled as a curse puppet."

Unlike normal puppets, curse puppets were born with faint intelligence, making their probability of forming a soul after being tainted by the traces of life and death rules within the forbidden pit increase by folds...

Nevertheless, the probability of it happening was still infinitely small.

Leo, upon seeing that the puppet in front of him didn't have any problem, heaved a deep sigh of relief, coldly chuckling afterward as he began to send a mental command to the puppet.

Death– Giggle~

Soon, upon imprinting numbers of command toward the core of the puppet, the puppet's head, who was facing Leo, suddenly released a deep, ear-piercing giggle, waving its six limbs erratically before rushing toward the direction of the forbidden pit...

In its wake, the cold earth suffered a dent, making the bland cemetery tremble slightly as they filled the small crater that the puppet created with soil, reverting to their previous appearance in the process.

"Hmm... This is?!"

At the same time, before the puppet vanished within the far horizon, Leo, who was about to go back to creating puppets, suddenly revealed confusion and doubt on his face, feeling that the one head of the puppet who was facing the back suddenly smiled toward his direction.

Although its expression was quite faint, he could still feel the profound look it gave him.

"Is it related to them being a curse puppet, or there's another reason that causes them to show signs of individuality?

"Sigh~ my understanding of puppetry was still shallow."

Thinking of this, feeling that puppetry creation contained vast knowledge and mysteriousness that he couldn't grasp...

Leo eventually shook his head, sighing deeply as he decided to bury those thoughts behind his mind; with his current realm, pondering regarding the vastness of puppetry creation would only affect him negatively.

If his guess were correct, puppetry should be among the Dao's... Making him believe that it was currently beyond his reach and comprehension.

"Well, with the difficulty of upgrading my class job, there is a good chance that the six paths it entailed were extremely profound."

Regardless, even if his guess would turn out incorrect in the future, the six paths his class job contained should at least have traces of Dao on them, still making the class job extraordinary.

Retracting his gaze from the horizon, Leo then sat down, crossed-legged on the ground, as he closed his eyes.

With rhythmic breathing, he then falls into the process of cultivating, starting to recover the spiritual qi that he had spent... Making the bland cemetery revert to its deafening silent state.

***

Soon, time passes by.

The brilliance within the sky had already vanished within the horizon for quite some time, welcoming the darkness that inevitably shrouded the encompasses of the land.

With its arrival, the mist that contained the stench of earth began to rise from the ground, making the trees and grasses that were swaying ominously within the forest start to become damp every time the mist grazed their existence.

Rustle~

In the unknown location, where strangeness could often be experienced and where the cawing sound of the crows could often be heard, the pale figure of Leo could be seen exhaling dark smoke in his mouth.

His eyes flutter slightly before opening afterward, revealing the gray irises within that contained the unknown depths that were akin to the abyss.

"Finally done; I had already emptied my inventory with the corpses of the beasts and quasi-devils below the Nascent Soul realm."

Mumbling to himself with exhaustion, Leo silently shifted his gaze toward the sky.

It's already been 5 days since he had returned to the cemetery; yet, he still hadn't gained information regarding the hateful bastard that destroyed his beloved farm.

It could be said that with his nonstop action, he had already created dozens of puppets that range from high-advanced to mid-transcended puppets...

And most of them, without a doubt, he commanded them to help in searching the beast within the forbidden pit, making the search area increase drastically.

"Unfortunately, that hateful beast probably ran toward the depths of the forbidden pit... making it hard to find.

"Keke~ However, it would only prolong his life by quite a bit."

Clank! (Master, we finally found his traces!)
