Hundreds Of Thousands Of Years Arc

Hundreds Of Thousands Of Years Arc

Walking on a path full of blood, a man with eyes as cold as ice walks down the carpet of blood.

*Pit*

His expression and coldness could be compared to the millennium of ice, a heart of steeled ice.

*Pat*

The handsome man that seemed to be part of the darkness was carrying a sword in his hand dripping with blood. His sword was the color of crimson red, proof that he had slain many living beings with his sword.

*Sound of Heavy Rain*

Watching two figures with his cold eyes, he smirked.

"Qi Rong, please spare us! You had already killed many of us, why not spare the innocent?!"

A man holding a bloody woman in his arms begs the indifferent man.

Within his eyes fear could be seen, his body shivering from fear but nonetheless, he tried to beg the man in front of him.

"Ah Rong, please spare us. Please!"

The woman within the man's embrace also begs the "Demon". But their cry seemed to be a passing wind to Qi Rong.

"Spare? Have you no shame?" Qi Rong humorlessly laughs.

Looking at the two figures like they were already dead in his eyes, he coldly smiles at them.

"If you spared me at that time will we be here now? If you spared me, would I have fallen to this stage? If you spared me, will I become a "Demon"?!" Qi Rong furiously roared as he brought down the sword at the two.

"Yu'er!"

Seeing the sword coming down, the man brought the woman closer to him blocking the fatal attack.

"Long Ge!"

The woman screamed in horror seeing the man she loves falling down her arms. His warm blood dripped down her body.

"QI.RONG!!!" The woman furiously shouted the other man's name.

Her eyes were wide with fury as she glared at the man, his eyes still indifferent and cold like what he killed earlier was just a mere ant.

It was really just an ant in his eyes.

Not caring about the woman's murderous gaze, Qi Rong once again raised his sword.

Seeing that the man in front of him was really with no remorse nor a trace of pity for the two, the woman laughed mockingly.

"Qi Rong! I curse you! For your whole life, you will never find love! All that touches your hand will die! Forever, you will live alone! Forever, forever I curse you to be alone and live a lonely life with death at hand!"

Pulling the sword down, the woman fell down with a thud.

Her eyes are wide open with menace, her craze smile still plastered on her face.

[Main Mission Avenge Qi Rong Complete!]

[Side Mission Kill All Those Who Caused His Death Complete!]

Looking down coldly at the woman that even in death had the energy to curse him, Qi Rong could only shake his head because of her naivety.

"Curse me? Do you even have the ability to curse me? Hahaha!!!"

A peal of humorless laughter spilled out from his mouth, Qi Rong looked at the heavens with tears streaming down his eyes.

His tears might not be visible because of the rain but his sadness and loneliness could be seen as he stood there alone in the ruins of the once peaceful Kingdom.

The Kingdom that he himself destroyed with his own hands!

"Curse me all you want but no curse can curse me for I am already living within a curse. A cursed life of living and dying, never to die peacefully nor to live with meaning. Traversing many worlds, I had already been cursed by so many people, I had been spat at, I had been beaten, I had killed so many and many cursed my name for centuries to come but none had any effect on me."

Qi Rong sighed in sadness.

"A curse cursing my cursed life... how amusing."

[Host, would you like to go back to the System space?]

"En."

Closing his eyes, Qi Rong fell down on the muddy ground.

His once-warm body was cold.

Opening his eyes back in the space, Shu Yin stretches his body and look for his System.

[Host, welcome back! As always, the Host mission completion is flawless as ever!] The System happily said bouncing to Shu Yin.

Shu Yin was almost knocked over when a little ball of fur suddenly flew straight to his arms. The ball of fur was none other than his System.

"Hmmm...." Shu Yin gently smiled at the ball of fur patting it.

[Host, it's been a thousand years already. Is Host still not going back home?] The System suddenly asked.

Being asked by the System, Shu Yin was taken back by surprise.

"Why? Do you want me to go home? You no longer want me here?"

[No, that's not it Host!]

The System quickly denied it.

[It's just that, it's been hundreds of thousands of years and Host had already earned ************* of points that Host could already revive and go back to your real world.]

The System fiddled with its furry finger sneakily glancing at Shu Yin once in a while.

To be honest, the System is really happy that Shu Yin still did not leave. It means that it could still spend some more time with him. It will be lonely if he did go back to his real world.

But despite all this, it could not be that selfish. It knew that the Host is not happy, it seemed like its Host really wanted to be happy.

So no matter what the Host chooses, the System will try to be happy for its Host even if it means leaving it.

[Why is Host still not going back? Is it because Xiao Xiao selfishly said to Host that Host should not leave Xiao Xiao? If that is so, Xiao Xiao would not stop Host. Xiao Xiao, wants the Host to be happy. If going back means Host would be happy, Xiao Xiao won't stop Host.]

"Xiao Xiao...."

Listening to its System, Shu Yin felt a little guilt about it.

Never would he have thought his little guy would be thinking like this.

[Host, Xiao Xiao is already big now. Xiao Xiao, won't feel lonely anymore without Host. Xiao Xiao already has many friends now. The host does not need to worry about me anymore. I, I could take care of myself now.]

From the initial "Xiao Xiao", the System changes its name-calling from the third point of view to "I". Talking like this, it seemed to look like it had already grown up.

Xiao Xiao no longer wanted to burden its Host.

"Xiao Xiao....."

Shu Yin was surprised when the little fur ball suddenly cried, he quickly pulled it closer towards him.

[H-Host!!]

"Xiao Xiao, don't cry." Shu Yin comforted the fur ball.

[Xiao Xiao is not crying!]

"En. Xiao Xiao is not crying." Shu Yin smiled.

[Really not! Wahhh!!!]

The System might have denied it but it was really crying.

"Xiao Xiao, I'm sorry. I never thought that you will feel this way. I never wanted you to blame yourself. It's not your fault." Shu Yin gently said his words to the crying System.

[H-Host, you are so kind!] The System said knowing that Shu Yin was just trying to comfort it.

The System knows that it was its fault that its Host won't leave. If only it did not selfishly say to its Host to never leave it then its Host would have been happy back in his real world.

It's really selfish!

"Xiao Xiao, it's not your fault. Even if you didn't tell me to stay, I would have still stayed." Shu Yin helplessly said.

[R-Really?] The System asked in disbelief.

"Yes. I would."

Shu Yin smiled relieved seeing that its System stop crying.

[Why, Host?]

"Why? It's because I don't have anything to go back to. Honestly, I had long remembered my lost memories."

[Host did?!] The System said in disbelief.

"Yes." Shu Yin answered honestly.

[Then, why did Host not leave? The host had already remembered and Host already had a sufficient amount of points to go back to the real world, why did the Host stay?] The System asked in wonder why its Host chose to stay.

"I already told you, I don't have anything to go back to. There is nothing, no one waiting back for me there that is why I chose to stay. I would rather be here together with my adorable little System who needs me." Shu Yin widely smiled.

[Really Host? Does that mean that Host will never leave Xiao Xiao?! No. It's alright for Host to leave, Xiao Xiao won't stop Host! Xiao Xiao knows that Host is not happy like this "never to die peacefully nor to live with meaning".]

Shu Yin looked at its System wide-eyed.

He forgot that it could hear him back in the mission world.

[Host, Xiao Xiao won't stop you. Once you find the meaning of your life, Xiao Xiao will happily give your hand to that person. Because Xiao Xiao loves Host and wanted Host to be happy.] The System cried.

Hearing his Systems heartwarming and sincere words, a tear also fell from Shu Yin's eyes.

Never would he have expected that this System of his cares for him so much. In return, he also cared for this System of his so much like his little sibling.

Bringing his little Xiao Xiao in his arms, Shu Yin tightly hugs it.

After almost an eternity, the two let go and laugh at each other happily.

[Host, are you ready to go to the next world?] The System said with a newly revitalized voice.

"En."

[World Transfer in 3, 2, 1!]

[Good Luck, Host!]
