C1 The Black Creation of Desire

Sitting on the roof of the highest building in the crematorium, Su Jin's heart was surprisingly calm.

"How ruthless. I'm not dead yet. Are you in a hurry to burn me down?"

"No, that's not right. I should be dead."

A chill ran down his spine. The wind blew on his body like a bug, trying its best to crawl into his body.

Su Jin pressed one hand on his chest. His tentacles were cold, but they did not have the strength of an adult. Instead, they collapsed into his body.

This was the result of the collision. The driver was his wife, who he had just married for two months...

After a long silence, Su Jin hugged a black cat beside him and rubbed it fiercely a few times.

"Human heart, human heart..."

When he was alive, he could not understand, but after he died, he saw through everything.

"Actually, I quite envy you. Being a human being is really too tiring." Su Jin seemed to have been freed as he lay on the ground with his head up.

The black cat struggled free from Su Jin's evil palm. After a few jumps, it actually opened its mouth to speak. "Have you thought it through? Don't you want revenge anymore?"

"I, Su Jin, am not willing to accept a great revenge, but I am already a dead man. I have thought about it. Send me away! "

Su Jin's words seemed very relaxed, but his tightly clenched hands revealed his inner thoughts.

...

Darkness.

Sticky.

Yet another trace of warmth.

Su Jin's mind gradually became clear, and he could feel as if his body was wrapped by something.

'Am I going to leave or not? Damn it, I won't die. '

[Ding!] Host's consciousness has recovered!]

[Ding!] System binding...]

[Binding completed, welcome host!]

The voice that suddenly appeared in his mind gave Su Jin a shock, and his consciousness was completely awake.

A few scenes quickly flashed through his mind, a man and a woman, a car, fresh blood, a funeral home... and a black cat.

'Is there really hell... '

Su Jin opened his eyes. It was dark, and there was only a white dot in front of him.

He instinctively wanted to reach out his hand, but he suddenly remembered that he was in this strange and narrow space.

Suddenly, the white dot of light in front of him moved! It kept enlarging, and finally formed a blue light screen in front of Su Jin.

It was like an online game?

Su Jin's eyes widened. He scanned the screen again and again, not willing to miss out on any details.

Intuition told him that he did not need to die...

On the screen, the first thing that entered his eyes was a high-definition profile picture. It was a ferocious and terrifying monster, or rather, a devil!

A huge white horn, an inverted triangular head, sharp claws, a thick tail... And the black thorns that covered his entire body with a metallic luster.

Su Jin subconsciously held his breath. He could feel that this was a devil that was born to fight and hunt.

Host: Su Jin.

Race: Drogan Diablo! (Ancient Dragon Seed)

Current HP: 503 / 2200

[Thorny Destruction Whirlpool - Sky (Active Skill LV1)] : When 80% of the user's body turns black, the Biological Energy can be used to activate this skill.

(Note: The user can forcefully turn black for a short period of time.)

After reading through the description of this skill, which was similar to a game, word by word, Su Jin fell into deep thought.

Could this be considered a rebirth, or a reincarnation?

However, it didn't seem like it was a human anymore.

He could recall that back then, he had indeed told the black cat that being a human was very tiring.

These weren't important anymore. The key now was to figure out his current condition. If his guess was correct, he should be in the egg right now.

Su Jin tried to twist his body and found that the binding feeling was not as strong as he had imagined. At least he could rotate it a little.

Su Jin put his body on the "eggshell" and used all his strength to hit it.

On the image of the mysterious light screen, Su Jin still remembered the white horns clearly. It should be possible to use them to support the "eggshell."

After three or four collisions, Su Jin clearly felt the "eggshell" begin to shake.

It was about to break out of the shell!

After another three or four collisions, with a "crack," a weak ray of light shot in. Su Jin was delighted in his heart.

Following the small crack, Su Jin's head successfully stretched out.

Perhaps because he was just born, Su Jin, who stuck his head out, felt the weak sunlight and felt a sharp pain in his eyes.

After slowly getting used to it, Su Jin opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings. There was a small cave outside. The cave entrance was very small, probably less than one meter.

Maybe it was Mother Long who 'protected' him?

Su Jin pulled his head back again and used his two little claws to grab the edge of the hole. He broke the 'egg shell' piece by piece.

So it wasn't a dragon egg.

Su Jin who had broken out of the egg looked at the huge black thorn that was inserted into the ground.

It was born from the thorn, the Drogan Diablo was truly a magical species.

[Ding!] Sub Mission triggered: Birth of Destruction!]

Mission: Birth of Destruction!

[Mission Objective] : Devour and obtain 400 Biological Energy.

Quest Time Limit: 7 days

Quest reward: 400 Biological Energy.

Quest Punishment: Relearn the abandoned skill: [Greatest Weakness (Passive Skill LV1)] : When 20% of the thorns in the host's body are forcefully shattered, the host will be forced to collapse for 3 seconds.]

Task Notification: Even if the ruler of the world is destroyed, it will still be weak at birth and can only grow.

[Mission prompt: The Drogan Diablo requires a huge Biological Energy to give birth to its offspring. The essence is within that thorn.]

[Due to the first mission that the Host is carrying out, the System Friendly Reminder suggested that the Host absorb the remaining Biological Energy in the thorn as soon as possible.]

It was the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind again. Su Jin had thought that it was just an illusion. This time, he confirmed that the thing that called itself the system seemed to be in his body.

With a thought, the screen that had disappeared appeared once again. It clearly recorded the side quest that the system had just issued.

Thorn? Biological Energy?

Su Jin looked at the thorn that had given birth to him. At the place where the thorn had shattered, drops of red liquid dripped onto the ground.

This was the Biological Energy?

After crawling over, Su Jin stuck out his tongue and tried to lick it.

[Ding!] Congratulations on obtaining 10 Biological Energy.]

The system's voice rang in his mind.

Su Jin widened his eyes. When he was pondering about the system just now, a lot of Biological Energy had fallen to the ground.

A drop of red liquid represented 10 Biological Energy, then he would lose at least 150 points!

Although he did not know how many Biological Energy he could obtain by devouring a creature, his intuition told him that this was a huge loss.

He didn't have time to study his small body, which was about a meter tall, and directly laid down at the gap of the thorn, licking away all the remaining Biological Energy.

[Ding!] Congratulations to host for obtaining 10 Biological Energy]

[Ding!] Congratulations! You have obtained 20 Biological Energy!]

...

A moment later, Su Jin raised his head. In just a short while, he had obtained a total of 210 energy points.

Su Jin instinctively wanted to stand up and see how much red liquid was left in the thorn.

However, just as the front pair of claws had left the ground and his waist had not straightened, he felt a sense of weightlessness.

He forgot, he was no longer human.

Lying on the ground, Su Jin used one of his claws to pull the folded wings that covered his shoulders. This thing was like a shield that could protect his body very well.

However, he felt very uncomfortable, as if he had suddenly grown two arms.

Of course, that tail was even less powerful.

Apart from feeling the strength of his race, Su Jin also felt some sympathy.

The Biological Energy could be said to have pushed the Drogan Diablo to the opposite side of the food chain.

The consumption of the Biological Energy meant that the Drogan Diablo had to continue hunting until it was finished or when it was very difficult to find a living creature.

The Drogan Diablo had been hunting for food for its entire life, just like him in his previous life.

One sentence:

Either he dies once more, or he kills all the creatures in the world.

The mission issued by the system had a time limit of seven days, obtaining 400 points of energy in seven days.

Apart from the 210 points of energy that he had just absorbed from the Thorn Rampart, he still has nearly 200 points left to complete the mission.

Su Jin decided to go outside and take a look.

At least he needed to know how much energy he would gain by devouring different creatures of different sizes.

He pushed open the hole that was about the same size as himself and saw the dense forest reflected in Su Jin's eyes.

To be exact, Su Jin had never seen such a thick tree on Earth.

The same thick tree roots were stacked together, almost forming the second layer of the ground.

The thick and dense tree roots were entrenched together, forming a natural cave at the bottom.

After understanding the terrain, Su Jin urgently wanted to catch a creature to confirm his thoughts.

Furthermore, the Biological Energy in his body would be consumed a little every minute.

Before using up ten percent of the Biological Energy, the remaining Biological Energy could still support him for five hours!

In other words, within these five hours, he had to hunt prey.
