Heroic Death System (BL)

ARC 13 : GHOST ASSISTANT

Chapter 169: Ghost Assistant (I)

TL: Resonance

   

Shang Ke stood in the system space with closed eyes while holding on to his warm chest. He felt that his heart was filled with happiness. Everything that he has experienced with his lover was all remembered clearly by him. They become his unlimited strength as he looks for him in the next world.

【The next world is difficult mode. Host, please be prepared.】

The System’s reminding voice interrupted Shang Ke’s thoughts

“Let’s start.” Shang Ke didn’t hesitate. He left the Hundred Training space to meet his new challenge.

The space fluctuated and Shang Ke was transported to another world.

Opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was a bloodied woman’s face. There were no eyes in her eye sockets and two empty cavities could be seen. Sticky liquid was slowly flowing out of the eye socket.

“Ah!” Shang Ke jumped backwards in shock, instantly plunging half his body into the wall.

He wasn’t timid. However, no matter how mentally tough he was, he still couldn’t take it when he had to see a hideous female ghost without warning.

The female ghost looked askance at him and spoke with a spooky voice, “We are both ghosts, is there a need to make such a huge fuss?”

After saying so, she floated away on her own pace.

Shang Ke was finally free to check his own situation. He realised that half of his body was currently within the wall, with only his head and half of his limbs exposed. He was obviously in a spiritual state now. More specifically, he was a ghost.

【Main mission: Revive within three months.】

Shang Ke: “Sorry, what did you just say? Revive?”

【Yes. Revive within three months.】

“System, are you infected with a virus? My mission is to die heroically and now you’re asking me to revive? How am I supposed to complete such a contradictory mission?!”

【If you’re alive, you can die. If you’re dead, you can still live.】

Shang Ke: “… System, come out. I promise I won’t kill you.”

Based on Shang Ke’s understanding, there were three ways a ghost can revive. First, he could find a scapegoat in exchange for the chance to reincarnate. Second, he could forcefully take over someone’s body. Third, he could enter the body of someone who just died and revive.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the system adding:

【Revival restrictions:
1) Not allowed to find a scapegoat;
2) Not allowed to forcefully take over someone’s body;
3) Cannot enter the body of someone who is at the end of their life due to old age or a body of someone who is seriously wounded and cannot be saved.】

He could understand why he wasn’t allowed to find a scapegoat or forcefully take over someone’s body. After all, the principle contradicts the heroic death system. However, why are there so many restrictions for entering a dead person’s body?

 
【Entering the body of someone who is at the end of his life would directly be judged as a mission failure (One of the conditions for the mission, you may not have a good end); If you enter a body that is seriously wounded and cannot be saved, you will become a living dead with no vital signs. This doesn’t satisfy the mission requirement.】
