Chapter 4: Chapter 4- The Consciousness of the Greedvil Sytem
Yang tried to move his body and noticed that his wound and pain have all healed up.
What was going on? Surprised, Yang Chen tried to recall the events of last night and that was when he remembered the demon and the healing potion that healed his body.
Yang Chen was amazed; however, the reason why he was amazed wasn't because of the demon Amon but because of the name it mentioned. If he remembered correctly the demon told something about activating Greedvil System.
Greedvil System sounded the same as Greedvil Online. The old dilapidated game he purchased online. He should have been playing that game but he was accidentally reincarnated in this world.
That being said, the menu he saw last night definitely looked from some game.
"I cannot be mistaken, the Geedvil system is definitely from that game" Yang Chen who was now able to think clearly, came to a realisation. The menu looked nothing alike the menus of the games he had played so far, which meant that in that it was from a game he hadn't played yet.
"Ugh... then is inside the game!?" Yang Chen wondered; however, the memories he inherited from the body was far too real for it to be a game. Not to mention the level of pain he felt last night, that was not something a VR can create.
"There is only one way to find out" Yang Chen decided to open the menu.
"What was that demon's name again... was it Amon?" the moment he called its name, a black portal opened up and Amon appeared in front of him.
"So the host has woken up huh. Kehehe.. looks like you have survived the beating" As soon as it appeared, it made a snide comment right after its appearance.
"You can talk? Never mind that, I need to search for the logout button" Since the menu was from the game, there should be a log out button right?
"Kukuku..."
"What are you laughing at?" Yang Chen asked.
"Nothing..." Even though it said that, the demon still continued to laugh while looking at him with eyes of amusement.
Hmph, not bothering with him, Yang Chen started exploring the menu. Although this was his first time seeing this menu, he was gamer who had played a lot of games. It didn't take him long to get familiar with the Greedvil system.
A few minutes passed by and soon, Yang Chen's hands that were swiping at the menu came to halt. His expression changed and he stood rooted in his place from the shock he was experiencing.
The reason for this was because he was unable to find the option he was looking for. Yes, There was no log out option in the menu
"What is going? Why can't I log out? Is it not a game after all?" A spiral of questions bombarded his mind.
"Kehehe... settle down now host, you have only just integrated with the Greedvil system if you run your brain around too much you might have a serious headache" the demon laughed looking at misery with a big grin on its face.
Thinking that it was just nonsense from Amon, Yang Chen did not think too much about it and continued to rummage his brian when suddenly he felt a serious headache assaulting him.
Yang Chen wriggled around the floor clutching his head while Amon laughed in the background.
That bastard'... after his headache settled down, he sat back on the floor and glared at the demon.
"Kehehe I told the host... now then let me answer your question one by one. The host's previous body has died, a serious short circuit occurred inside your Mind Immersion Helmet while you were playing the game. This lead to your brain being fried... kehehe, this is such a stupid way to die."
Yang Chen was irked by the irritating laugh of the devil Amon. Though he still listened to the latter amid some doubt in his eyes. A head immersion gear was one of the breakthrough inventions of this decade.
All the games around this age needed one to be played. The one that Yang Chen had, was one of the top models that cost quite a lot. Not just anybody can buy it. from its quality to its safety, it was top notch.
That is why, he was in a disbelief when he heard that he had died as a result of his brain getting fried by a short circuit.
"That cannot be true, my head immersion gear was one of the best ones out there. If it damages one's brain then the company wouldn't be able to sell it for so long" Yang Chen pointed out.
"Hmm? Beats me, I do not know. Maybe it was tempered by somebody" Amon shrugged his shoulders.
Looking at him it did not look like he was lying. On the contrary, if his head immersion gear was tampered with, it would make sense after all, quite a number of people wanted him to die.
Yang Chen wouldn't be shocked if the ones to do it were his relatives or the nurses that took care of him.
"As for your other questions... This world seems to be a different one than the game you are thinking of. From the memories of the host, this place seems to be called the battle star continent".
"The reason why you cannot log out is because this is not a game, the host's soul has merged with the Greedvil system due to the short circuit while the system was reinstalling itself. As for why you have all those memories Amon does not have an answer for that" the demon explained folding his hands and flapping its tiny wings.
Yang Chen furrowed his brows after he heard what Amon said. "So this place is a different world and I'm not inside some game?".
He received a nod from the latter when he asked that.
"Then who are you? Did the Greedvil system have an annoying mascot like you?" Yang Chen pointed at Amon.
"Kehehe.. Amon believes that he is the consciousness of Greedvil system itself that was born after it merged with the host. In other words, I'm the part of the Greedvil system itself after the reinstallation" Amon tilted his head and replied.
'You don't sound very convincing' Yang Chen wanted to retort.
