Heroic Death System (BL)

ARC 14 : LET'S RUN, FOX

Chapter 185: Let’s Run, Fox (I)

   

To not be tormented by illnesses. To not part from each other unwillingly due to death. To not have regrets and spend their entire lifetime together. This was the first time Shang Ke experienced such a thing through all the worlds he’s been in.

   

After he had been tormented so much through various worlds, he still thanked the System for allowing him to meet his lover. For their chance to be together and love each other again and again.

Shang Ke left that world filled with satisfaction and happiness. However, he did not enter the System Space, rather, he appeared on top of a mountain. Ranges of mountains ranged from all sides with curling clouds and rivers that stretched for miles below him.

A pair of arms stretched out from behind him and held him by the waist. A joyful voice came from near his ear, “Do you like this? This will be where we cultivate from now on.”

Shang Ke turned around in desire to see the man behind him, but the moment he turned around, the scene before his eyes changed again. He was protected in the man’s arms as countless lights of spiritual power orbited around them and weaved a large net that enveloped them. The pressuring power gradually closed in on them, carrying frightening killing intent.

“Chen Xiao, Shou Mo, I will end you so that you two can never reincarnate!” A viscous and angry voice came from the lights.

Shang Ke’s gaze blurred. He could not see the person controlling these lights, nor could he see the one by his side. He just felt very stifled like some great danger was about to happen.

   
“Shou Mo, do you trust me?” The man by his side asked.

“Of course.” Shang Ke heard ‘his own’ assured reply.

“Alright then, let’s make a bet with him.”

“Betting on what?”

“Betting our lives and reincarnations.”

As the last of his words were spoken, a heart-splitting pain tore into Shang Ke.

Shang Ke woke up in cold sweat. The scene he saw was the familiar System Space as a bewildered and confused expression took over his face.

“System, what was that just now?”

System: 【What is Host asking about? The System doesn’t understand.】

Shang Ke: “…I had a dream about someone named Chen Xiao and Shou Mo.”

System: 【…Who are they?】

Shang Ke: “System, have you not noticed that when you lie, you have a strange pause before answering?”

   
System: 【The System never lies, it merely is unable to give an answer. As for the question of Chen Xiao and Shou Mo, please find the answers yourself Host.】

Shang Ke silently raised two middle fingers to the System, but they were auto censored by the System.

He did not ask how many more missions he needed to do, because he no longer wished for his missions to end. The moment it ended, perhaps that would be the last of his meetings with ‘him’. When he thought of that possibility, he would rather continue to be tormented and reincarnate forever.

After resting for a few days, he once again went into the Hundred Training Space, learning the skills he was interested in.

The current him was pretty much a walking skill library as he learned dozens of skills. No matter if it was for day-to-day life, athletics, combat, literature, art and so on, he had learned almost all of them. Of course, there were skills he preferred so they were all mastered to varying degrees.
