Chapter 4 - Title Card- Second Asmodeus

At this moment, Eon felt like he was going to die. His soul felt like it was being burned in the pits of hellfire.

If someone asked him, 'Was dying worth the freedom?'

He would say, 'Fuck no! I just thought I was a protagonist.'

And, it turned out he was.

Suddenly, something strange happened to his soul, and his painful expression disappeared.

When his soul reached a point of destruction, the connection between him and that creature suddenly disappeared.

His soul didn't get split in half; instead, he found himself inside a white room.

When he got there, it was weird.

'This is not golden.'

Looking at his skin, he thought and nodded.

'So, this is my body. Wait, if I leave the room and they find out about my escape, will I get punished?'

He absolutely didn't want to get punished. Even if he died, he would die fighting.

Having his cultivation destroyed wasn't a problem. The problem was destroying his chance of cultivating again.

That's how the family punished those who broke the rule.

Suddenly, he raised his head and thought.

'I mean, I was ready to die just a second ago. So, punishments are shit.'

'Suddenly, I realize something. If I had a bad life in the family while also losing my freedom, I'd have followed my girl Maki's example and destroy the family.'

'Unfortunately, that didn't happen.'

He couldn't help but joke in his mind.

He didn't feel bad about such thoughts. In that family, he witnessed ultimate pleasure, but it also made him realize something.

He was nothing more than a tool to continue the family.

He couldn't blame anyone for this since he enjoyed the first few years after losing his virginity.

It was only after he started to realize that he would never be able to leave the house that he started resenting it.

'I'm definitely not a hell or heaven.'

He thought to himself as he looked around. In his eyes, he was pure scum who enjoyed his life until he could no longer bear it and tried changing it.

That's why he could proudly say, 'Harem? Nah, I'd pass'.

Because all his life, he had been doing nothing but fucking women.

He had been doing it so much that he was starting to forget his own past life, except for those fictional stories.

So, it wasn't like he suddenly decided he loved freedom and wanted to leave. It was more like he got tired of sex.

He believed that if he was given a chance, he could have run for the job of leader in Hell under the title of 'Second Asmodeus'.

That's why he firmly believed he would never go to heaven.

'Since this is neither heaven nor hell, it couldn't be.....I mean, I did feel like I was destroying my soul.'

'Under such circumstances, there is a high chance that a reborn person can awaken a certain cheat called 'System'.'

'It is the First Law Written in [Transmigrator Handbook 101]. So, the only reason I didn't awaken it was that I never suffered?'

He couldn't help but feel ashamed.

But then he thought about many of those protagonists who spent decades of their lives in misery, pain, and cold glares.

Suddenly, he found a balance.

The Universal Family Planning Director was right.

'Universe needs balance'.

He hurriedly shook his head and said.

'So, has the title card changed from [After Being Reborn, I reached the Emperor Realm at the Age of 19] to [System is Awakened? But, I am an Emperor].'

While he was busy thinking, he saw a blue box in front of him.

It didn't have any video or text. But it had a palm design in the middle.

Seeing this, his expression changed drastically.

'So, I did awaken a system. Holy shit! Forget about anything else. Just let it have something that can help me escape this hole.'

'The system always has something that the protagonist needs. Handsome Third-Dimensional Lord, please give a system I need.'

He clapped both of his hands, bowed his head, and praised the Handsome Lord in his mind.

He raised his hand and placed his palm on the panel.

The next moment, he found a new panel in front of him that showed several texts.

[Welcome to Myriad of Multiple Realm System]

When he saw the name, Eon was left stunned.

Slowly, his eyes burst into tears as he raised both of his hands and shouted.

"YES, I scored."

"Yes, yes, yes…..."

[MMR System allows Host to travel through the Multiverse using different personas and gather different powers into the main body.]

[MMR System feeds on the primordial energy of the universe to function. Once the Host can conquer a certain world, MMRS will allow the Host to travel to a new world.]

"No, no, no, I do not see and conquer. This is not a job for me. Wait a minute! I am panicking too much."

He took a deep breath and calmed down.

He found that he was too emotionally unstable. Then again, it made sense considering how he had never suffered in his life.

Even when he found the problem of his life, he was still indulging in sex.

'God! I am embarrassing other protagonists. Others can fight a realm above them while I can fight someone below my realm and still have a chance of losing.'

'Suddenly, I feel even more ashamed.'

He sadly lowered his head and shook it frantically until he got rid of those negative thoughts.

'Right now, I need to focus on one thing. Escape! That's my main priority. My second priority is to live.'

'If I have to conquer the world.....'

He took a deep breath. An unwavering determination emerged from his eyes that blazed like flames of rebirth.

'Then, I will outsource it.'

That flame turned out to be an illusion because the next moment, he started waving his hands as he said.

"I will become the hand-off boss. I will get powerful workers and let them conquer the world for me."

"I Will Become the King of Outsourcing."

He took a deep breath and said.

"System, how can I travel to another world?"

A blue light flashed, and a new text box appeared.

[MMR System can form a bridge between this world and another world. It will create a copy of the Host's soul and put it in the body of the most suitable Host.]

[MMR System doesn't have any task or requirement, but for every area or people Host conquers, the system will give Host a certain amount of multiversal coin.]

[Host can use MC to buy items to speed up his progress.]

[Beep! Beep! Detecting the host's unwillingness to conquer!]

Seeing this, Eon folded his hands and said.

"That's right! Your function is good. By entering another world, I can grow stronger."

"Even if my growth is slow and tedious, it will add something to my current strength. And, that's all I need. I want to escape this family."

At this moment, a new text appeared.

[Host is perhaps scared!]

This instantly irritated him.

"What the hell do you mean I am scared? I fucking split my soul in half before you even showed up."

[Host desires freedom, but Host is ignoring one thing. Time doesn't stop. By the time Host gets stronger in another world, life will continue in this world.]

[Host only has the lifespan of a thousand years. As an Emperor, Host should understand the gap between ordinary people and those with talent.]

[Without proper talent and background, the Host can never reach the peak of other worlds without the System's help.]

[Or, Host is just going bet that he will take the body of another lucky kid.]

When Eon read that, he paused.

It was true. He didn't consider the aspect of time.

No, he hadn't considered many things.

'Why am I even so repulsed about conquering the world? Is it simply because I have already lived a life of a conqueror?'

'No, I don't need to be a conqueror. I just need to be a God, the only God of the Universe.'

'Then, as a God, I will have the universe in the palm of my hand, making me the conqueror of the world.'

Suddenly, he slapped his fist on his palm and said.

"Isn't that the same as getting stronger? Holy shit! I got so scared of having another vicious cycle that I forgot such an important detail."

His previous vicious system was simple.

He wanted freedom. To have freedom, he needed strength. To have strength, he needed battles. To have battles, he needed freedom to leave.

But he didn't have freedom, so he couldn't fight others or get stronger.

He was also afraid of one thing. He was afraid that if he didn't be rebellious at this age, he would lose all of his motivation once he became the Head.

By that time, he would have resources to make himself the most powerful person in the world, but for what?
