[ Host, finally it's done ^⁠_⁠^]

The system issued an alert after countless attempts to synthesize the Devereaux bloodline from the available data. It encountered numerous errors while attempting to eliminate its drawback that resembled a deficiency within the bloodline, but ultimately succeeded in perfecting the final result.

'I can see...', Positioned next to the railing, Ryuk's gaze hardened as he detected a force surpassing his own strength, as though the entire internal energy of the area had been forcefully drawn in, converging within the Wei family.

Ryuk glanced towards Esme, who appeared to be cocooned in a blanket, most likely fallen asleep. Looking at her, he turned his glance back towards the sky and added," Lady Drishti, you know it's bad to peek into a couple's bedroom?"

"How did you do it?", Drishti came straight to the point as she arrived beside Ryuk, leaning against the railing with her hands for support before glancing at him. Her eyes, illuminated by the moonlight, showed depth as she looked at him.

"Hm, why should I tell you?", Matching her stare, Ryuk leaned closer to the railing, fixing his eyes on her with the same fervor, fully aware that this woman was probably scheming against him out of sight yet acting like this in front of him.

"....I will give you him", Drishti snapped her finger, causing a child, appearing like 12 or 13 years old, to hover in the air, wearing short pants as his horns and striped black pupils revealed his identity as a demon.

'Baster! Save be!', Belial cried inwardly as his eyes widened looking towards Ryuk, seeing that there was a chance for him to survive this woman given his master's presence.

"Kill him", Ryuk, with a blank gaze, nonchalantly gestured, turning his eyes away once again towards the scene.

[ You are cruel, Host =⁠_⁠= ]

"I will", Drishti, seeing that it appeared as if Ryuk had no use for Belial, nodded and decided to kill that demon after his work was over.

After all, he was the one who trained them.

'System, at least give me some item!' Lin Feng, standing in the last row, cried out inwardly as he saw the group of disciples gathered while talking with the Elder, all of them possessed enormous strength, unlike his own low level. This made him curse the system he had received, which had just given him a task that seemed impossible to accomplish.

'Damn it!' He felt frustrated due to not getting any messages or voice replies from the Neolith harem system, which had given him the task to make Bella Iliyas fall for him.

[[ Added to inventory: Berserker energy booster (x10 energy) + System Bind (Can't die until the system is bound with Host) ]]

'?!'

Lin Feng's eyes widened the moment a window appeared in front of him. It looked broken, glitching, as if there was some corruption with its screen, hardly able to display the texts.

"Finally!" Lin Feng's spirits brightened as he felt alive again, seeing how until the system was bound to him, no one could harm him. Before glancing towards the window as he inquired, 'but why are you glitching?'

[[ ...D..on'...t. be...li...ev. ]]

The system attempted to display a message, but the text was completely garbled. Its window started to glitch before shutting down as it tried to communicate with its host.

'Huh? Harem System?' Lin Feng inquired, feeling confused as he felt as if his system had been cut off.

[ Getting Access....>⁠.⁠< ]

[ You look uglier than a pig O⁠_⁠o ]

'Finally! You are online, system! Please give me an easier task this time!' Lin Feng rubbed his palms together, feeling he could finally access his cheat abilities while his eyes stuck to the system's screen, which had turned orange.

[ A quest? Hm, here you go ̄⁠\\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠ ̄ ]

DING!

'?!'

'I-immortality?!' Lin Feng's eyes widened the moment he saw that the reward was immortality. Before moving towards the task, he twitched his mouth and lifted his finger as he tried to bargain. 'By the way, can I switch poop with urine?'

[ I am merciful, so I accept, but you will need to bathe in it too. <⁠(⁠ ̄⁠)⁠ ̄⁠)⁠> ]

'Th-thank you! Finally!' Falling on his knees, tears streamed down his face, feeling that finally, his cheat had activated, instead of giving him useless tasks that would have cost him his life, feeling that now he could easily form his own harem.
