I'll kill you after I finish this game!

According to his memories of his previous life, among the friends he made, there were several anime characters.

The game system that the other party introduced themselves as meaning that you can gain power and improve your strength by playing games.

Your body will synchronize with the game you are playing; the pain your game character feels when injured will also be reflected in your body. You can get random rewards by completing the game.

That sounds great, but...

"But you're crippled, which means your functions are indeed incomplete, right? And some functions are missing." Lei Zhe's eyes were devoid of emotion. Lying on the hospital bed, he sighed helplessly. His start was disastrous, and with the system crippled, his mood was like a rollercoaster.

As for how the system became disabled?

I don't know if it's bragging or not, but this guy once digitized a game from a multiverse and became the dominant consciousness of that world, similar to the Heavenly Dao. People in that world could level up by fighting monsters like in those online game novels. Unfortunately, this stupid guy was actually defeated by some guys in the world he controlled who were clamoring to defy the heavens.

The system still can't figure it out. I'm just digitizing the world game data, and I'm perfectly content being the big boss of a company. I haven't done anything too heinous or done anything to slaughter or enslave living beings. What have I done to deserve your defiance?!

I'm not some evil heavenly law from the Tomb of a God!

When the topic of this matter comes up, the system's tone is full of grief, resentment, and great grievance.

"The crippled system and me, the crippled one, we're quite a good match."

After quickly adjusting his feelings of disappointment, Lei Zhe also optimistically and casually discussed the system within his body.

He and the system are in similar situations, both currently in a disabled state. Although he can recover with proper care, how can the system recover?

That's right, the system is temporarily crippled, just like him. Lei Zhe can recover as long as he rests, but the system can't be restored simply by resting.

[Well... I can't say I'm completely useless, you know. Some of my functions are quite useful to you, like my inventory, your personal status, and the ability to travel between worlds. Of course! I can also help you with some mini-games and single-player games.]

"Okay, then you can suck on a lollipop~ As a system, do you have any newbie gift packs for me?"

Hearing the system's voice in his mind praising his abilities and prowess, Lei Zhe uttered a statement of reality without any expression.

No way? There really isn't a newbie gift pack system? It wasn't that Lei Zhe was greedy, but that was his initial impression of the system.

Do you think you can survive in the system world without a newbie gift pack?

Oh, it's the cat's system then, never mind~

It's normal to feel embarrassed!

[Um... haha... you know I'm temporarily disabled, right? Newbie gift packs and stuff... I... sob sob, please don't look down on me in your heart, I know I'm a failure, I'm sorry!!!]

The system's voice sounded like it was being pushed to the limit and was about to break down, but Lei Zhe remained unmoved. How could this quirky guy have such poor mental fortitude?

Can this kind of thing even be a system? Who released her or created her? Is she just making a fool of herself?!

"I think you must belong to the Cat Guest series of shameful systems. Can I return you? Can I have an invincible and awesome Krass Broken Lu series system instead?"

"I want to take off right here."

Faced with the system's self-deprecating words that were heartbreaking to hear, Lei Zhe, without any remorse, uttered words that struck at the heart and said that he wanted to return the product.

Of course, this was just his witty banter and teasing of the system; if you take it seriously, you'll lose.

Even the system seemed to give up after hearing this.

[I'm not a shameful system!! If I had a good host to help me, I wouldn't be in this state. I can still help you. In terms of games, you can increase your strength and gain abilities by completing mini-games. I can definitely do that.]

As for the newbie gift pack, there really isn't much good stuff in it, but my database still contains a martial arts manual, a century-old Great Rejuvenation Pill, and a daily-type talent skill card. The Great Rejuvenation Pill can solve your physical condition and give you some ability to protect yourself for now, but I'm a little reluctant to give you the manual...

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhe frowned, but he didn't show any negative emotions. He was just puzzled by the meaning behind the system's words, so he rationally asked why.

【Emmm, this technique is called Eight Thunder Forbidden Techniques. It's a technique that absorbs the power of thunder and lightning from heaven and earth to temper the body. It's a forbidden martial art that will damage the body and is not suitable for humans to cultivate. Practicing it will shorten your lifespan. If you die young, I'm doomed too. So let's take the safer approach. You'll get your revenge sooner or later.】

safe!?

Reason told him to be cautious and not to let momentary emotions ruin important matters.

But he wanted to take revenge himself!

Who knows when those ghouls who killed his family will be taken out by other investigators? Who the hell is he going to take revenge on then?!

Lei Zhe is now like Sasuke in Naruto. In the past, viewers saw Sasuke as impulsive and reckless in his pursuit of power, which drew criticism.

But who could tolerate having their family member killed? It would be strange if their mind didn't become twisted!

Lei Zhe simply couldn't help himself; if he couldn't take revenge with his own hands, the twisted emotions in his heart would never disappear.

His rage must be appeased with the blood of those despicable ghouls!

He had heard of the Eight Thunder Forbidden Techniques, a martial arts technique from a high-level martial arts world, a thunder-attribute technique that was extremely domineering and terrifying.

However, this domineering lightning-attribute technique is not suitable for human cultivation. How could such fierce lightning be so easily controlled?

The Eight Thunder Forbidden Techniques prohibit humans from cultivating them, as the terrifying thunder energy will continuously cause internal injuries, and the higher the level of cultivation, the shorter the lifespan.

For humans, cultivating it can be described as a technique that trades life for power.

This lightning-attribute cultivation technique has two core parts: heaven and earth.

The Eight Thunder Forbidden Zones represent Heaven, while the Eight Thunder Desolate Zones represent Earth.

The second half, 【Eight Thunder Desolation】, is an advanced version of 【Eight Thunder Forbidden】, which can utilize the power of nature to alleviate internal injuries caused by thunder force.

Even if the internal injuries are alleviated, the damage caused by cultivating the Eight Thunder Forbidden Techniques will not disappear; it will only be mitigated.

It doesn't mean that the flaws of this technique can be completely cured.

Lei Zhe, who was well aware of the characteristics of this technique, also knew about its significant side effects, but he was not afraid.

The thought of those ghouls killing and mercilessly devouring his family fueled a twisted rage within him.

Damn it, as a man with balls, how can I tolerate this?!

So what if he dies young? If he can't get revenge, what face does Reiji have to live in this world?!

"...System, take a good look at the emotions I'm feeling that I can't calm down right now. Do you think I'm in a safe position?"

The familiar faces of his family and sister flashed through his mind, followed by a scene so tragic that he could never forget it. Even the now mature and strong-willed Lei Zhe couldn't help but shed tears.

A clear sadness and anger flashed in his lifeless, azure eyes.

That's not cowardice, but rather the sadness of losing something unknown that has been ripped from one's heart.

Even knowing that she had transmigrated, the fact that her family, whom she had raised since childhood, had disappeared in her second life, and the screams of her parents and sister seemed to still echoed in her ears, fueled her unquenchable anger.

"System, you're right that it's safe, but I request that you transfer the cultivation technique to me. I think I can endure it, but perhaps I overestimated myself..."

He was just an ordinary person. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person who grew up under the red flag. Although he had a good family background thanks to his own efforts, he passed away before he could properly take care of his parents.

He was an only child, and he just left his parents behind, leaving them to bury their son. How heartbroken they must be.

Now that he has a second life, he just woke up to his memories of his family and they have all passed away. As an adult, Rai Zhe's defenses crumbled immediately, and it's already a miracle that he didn't break down.

As he said, he thought he could tolerate it, but he overestimated himself.

The system fell silent upon hearing this. She wasn't lying; she and Lei Zhe were of one mind and body, so how could she not sense his emotions?

Lei Zhe himself is persistent and also stubborn, the kind of person who will never turn back until he hits a wall. Right now, his heart is like an inflating balloon, and it is simply too much to ask him to calm down.

Without experiencing the hardships others have endured, one might not be as fortunate as Rai Zhe is now.

[I can give you the cultivation technique, and they can also help you take revenge. Although I'm currently incomplete, I'm not beyond repair. I just need you to agree to give me one thing, and I can recover a little bit.]

The system's voice calmed down, and Lei Zhe seemed to hear the other party sigh. The words the other party said afterward made him anxious.

"Whatever you want, I'll give you my life or my soul!"

Lei Zhe's eyes were resolute, his cold gaze fixed on the ceiling as if he were looking at something deeper.

Having made up his mind and gone all out, he no longer cares about anything else.

"I'm not a demon, so your soul is useless to me. I want the artifact inside you; absorbing it will allow me to restore some of your functions."

A magical artifact!?

I have a magical artifact inside me!?

A look of shock flashed in Lei Zhe's eyes. He hadn't expected that besides the system, he would have some other magical artifact inside him.

After the systematic explanation, he finally understood what the so-called divine artifact was.

Divine artifacts are extraordinary powers created by gods and residing within specific humans. They feed on the thoughts of their wielders, constantly changing and evolving, thus becoming stronger and stronger.

The highest-level divine artifact is the God Destroyer Gear, which is a divine artifact capable of destroying gods and demon kings. The God Destroyer Gear possesses the abilities of multiple divine artifacts.

The Bible records that God left it in the world as a human ability—a divine artifact. It can be seen as an aggressive weapon used to kill gods of other mythological systems in order to spread the doctrine among his followers, or as a defensive measure created to prevent his followers from being attacked by gods of other forces. It may even have been created entirely by chance. In short, there are different opinions, and even the heavens have not reached a clear conclusion.

"I didn't realize this world was so dangerous..."

Lei Zhe felt a sense of urgency, knowing that he was in a world teeming with gods, demons, and strange beings, and who knew if he might be unlucky enough to encounter something bizarre one day.

Lei Zhe doesn't trust anyone. In "High School DxD," the most exciting and ecchi anime, there are many life-threatening situations. Moreover, this world is not just about the High School DxD universe.

He doesn't trust anyone, let alone so-called gods, demons, or angels. Regardless of the existence of any so-called gods or demons, humans have always been equated with ants to them.

The angels are a very good side, you could say they're quite benevolent, belonging to the Order and Good side, but other arrogant gods or demons regard humans as inferior beings.

Lei Zhe didn't have any negative emotions. After all, the weak are bound to be beaten, and it's normal to be looked down upon.

With the system's explanation, the divine artifacts on his body are not particularly powerful at the moment, and cannot threaten gods or demon kings like the God-Slaying Tools.

However, its potential is quite high, after all, a divine artifact needs the thoughts of its wielder to fuel its continuous changes and evolution.

The divine artifact within him and the God-Destroying Tool created by the magical beast are both creation-type artifacts, named Fantasy Creation.

Creating what one imagines through imagination is to bring to life what one firmly envisions in one's mind, creating something from nothing. However, it can only be like a projection magic trick, existing only temporarily.

Its development potential is indeed considerable, but potential is potential, and strength is strength.

Razer is just an ordinary human being. He is not a reincarnated demon, nor does he belong to a demon-slaying family. He doesn't have any special bloodline or anything like that, nor is he a descendant of a hero.

It wasn't that Lei Zhe was insecure, but rather that he was being realistic. He was just an ordinary person now, without the resources to nurture him, so how could he develop the artifact?

Moreover, being a holder of a divine artifact has both advantages and disadvantages, since certain beings are eyeing those who possess it.

For details, please refer to the circumstances of Hyoudou Issei's death at the beginning of the game. It is clear that those gods and demons have the ability to detect the existence of divine artifacts.

The artifact can grant Lei Zhe considerable power and assistance, but it is also a death warrant that will attract attention. He has nothing to lose now, but he doesn't want to be targeted by those invincible individuals before he gets his revenge.

While the magical artifact can provide some assistance, in the long run, the system is still better.

Although this system may be a bit unreliable.

"Absorb the divine artifact, System..."

Lei Zhe chose to hand over the divine artifact within his body to the system as his initial investment.
