Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 576  The System's Worries

Gwen and Hoggard stared at the scene in disbelief, disgust, fear and terror.

But when the ghosts were about to attack them too, a ray of light shot out from Hoggard's pendant, causing the ghosts to flee with their lives.

GRAHHHHHHH~

1, 2, 3…

They were gone. The bathroom returned to normal.

Plop~

The levitating trio fell to the ground, but did not care about the pain just now.

Everyone was now staring at the pendant that was now broken into several pieces.

"Uncle Hoggard… how… what…. Where did you get this pendant?"

"This…"

Hoggard recalled the street stall he passed by 2 days ago. The stall owner, a man who looked to be 25, told him he would have a bloody disaster in 2 days. Of course, he didn't believe it, as this was a world of true science!

He thought this was a new way the lazy young adults of today have decided to scam people of their money.

But what was so odd was that the young man gave the pendant to him for free. Of course, since it was free and quite good looking, he decided to take it and return it after 2 days of the so-called bloody disaster didn't come.

Heh. Only a fool would believe in such ridiculous matters. But today, after coming face to face with the most grotesque looking beings in his life, Hoggard felt all the blood on his face run dry.

Blood… Blood disaster. "He… he didn't lie."

Hoggard recalled the words of the man and his relieved face turned palish white once more.

[This pendant will only postpone your bloody disaster. But if you want to eliminate, you and those targeted must find me before the 6th day. After the 6th day, your lives will be lost.]

Everyone swallowed hard when hearing Hoggard's narration.

Who would have known there were such grim things hiding within the shadows in their human world?

What were those hideous transparent things? For now, they didn't know the turn Ghosts.

Suddenly, everyone wished they could rush out to the street where the stall was to find the strange man who told Hoggard's future.

As for the live broadcast battle the trio were originally planning to see, who the hell cares about that now?

In fact being in this bathroom now, gave them all nightmares, ghoulish ones that definitely plague them all for the rest of their lives.

It was finally agreed that Hoggard and Gwen would head out tomorrow to invite the street fortune teller over.

As for the trio, the groundskeeper's who were worried about their own lives, had no time to speak on punishment right now.

Thus, the trio headed back to their dormitories, but found they couldn't sleep well… especially when hearing the sounds of faint whispers echoing in their ears.

Yes, a part of that block smoke had already seeped through their mouths, embedding itself deep in their bodies.

And, they found they couldn't sleep, as their eyes were now red with worry and fear, when feeling they were still being followed.

Clitititititi~

…

—Tian Estate–

Dorian softly tapped his fingers along his armrest when listening to the system's notification.

[Host, all admission letters are ready to be sent out.]

'Hmmm…' Dorian hummed lightly, knowing that today was day 8, the last tournament day for the competitions. ' Tomorrow, 11 AM, send them out.'

[As you wish, host.]

The system took note of this, while watching its host leave his seat and head to another room to cultivate once more.

Hey… How many times do you have to cultivate? It seemed that its host took cultivation to be the same as relaxation. Dorian now entered a pool, and dropped a pink pill he personally refined. 1 hour… 2 hours… 3 hours… 4 hours… 5, 6, 7…8….

BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM!

The host had just advanced 3 sub positions, and was now an A-RANK exorcist!

[Congratulations host, for breaking into the A-Realm!]

The system felt that its host speed was just too incredible.

Know that even with all the help it was giving, even the most talented people in other worlds wont reach where the host has reached in such a short time.

The host's luck and innate abilities were adobe worldly ones. This one was more than being the protagonist of the world.

Even the sons and daughters of heaven would bleed with envy when seeing its host's abilities.

Again, understand that everyone starts as a NO-RANK exorcist. Then they move from H-rank to A-rank, before crossing the threshold to S-Rank, SS-Rank, SSS-Rank, Divine Rank, and finally, Celestial rank.

Each rank had 9 grades one had to move past.

One thing to also note is that even in the other worlds, only 1 or 5 people in humanity's entire existence have ever reached Celestial.

Know that once one breaks through after Celestial, they will become true Gods, leaving the mortal planes or good and becoming angels, and whatnot.

That… that was the hardest and longest rank to break past.

That being said, it has only been a couple of months since Dorian moved from a NO-Rank exorcist to an A-rank exorcist, passing all 9 grades within each rank as if they were nothing. It was almost as though if he sneezed, he would break through.

What sort of heaven-defying ability was this?

The system was only happy that with the way the host was going, he would stand a fair chance against those Princes of the underworld.

.

Eh?

The system suddenly froze hearing a rumbling sound bellow from behind its host. It was the BONEY FINGER!

Stop!

The system tried to stop the finger finger, but found that the finger that was in its own space., refused to listen to its order.

What's going on?

Dorian was also taken aback when seeing the boney finger appear above his hand. And in less than a millisecond, it merged with his left index finger, giving Dorian a deep sense of familiarity.

Whoosh!

A fragment of memory appeared in his mind, the memory of the finger's owner.

Wrong! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

This finger didn't belong to any past underworld prince.

'How interesting…'

Dorian raised his lashes, licking his lips wickedly, when recalling the brief fragment he saw. It seems there were more mysteries that needed answering. However, he knew the system wouldn't have the answers he was looking for. Looking at his index finger that still looked ordinary, Dorian chuckled in amusement.

As for the system, it had long left its host, to report the matter to its master. "No one will discover the finger's presence."

With a wave of his finger, his master sent the system back down, with a light chuckle on his lips too. "So they finally merged?… (chuckle, chuckle~).. How interesting…"

"_" [The system]

What? What the hell was so interesting to these two?
