199 It's All A Dream (7)
Allen hated the system, and the amount of hate he had for the system was the same amount of hate he would have had for the murderer of his brother. Not that his brother was murdered or anything. But if his brother was murdered, then the hate he has for that murderer was the same as the hate he has for the system.
Since it dared to trick him, then he won’t be forgiving towards it.
‘Let’s see if this system will become desperate or not after I torture it.’
With that thought in his mind, his mouth arched up as he grinned evilly, planning to be the first protagonist to torture his own system.
If he wasn’t wrong and if the system novels he had read were true, then he could indeed torture his system.
As for how he will do it, it was quite simple.
From the system novels he had read, the majority of them claimed that a system was a soul parasite, and the minority claimed that it was a highly advanced technology from an alien civilization.
But if it really were a soul parasite, and if not for the host, the system wouldn’t be able to live and have any energy due to it siphoning energy from its host, just like a parasite would do.
So Allen’s plan of torturing the system was simple as it could be. It was to prevent the system from obtaining any energy from him.
But wait, if he did that, wouldn’t that be stupid? If he didn’t have any energy, wouldn’t he die?
Of course, Allen knew that and he had already taken that into account when he had thought of torturing the system. And that’s why he thought of ways in which the system could even farm and harvest energy from him.
Because of that, he found out how the systems in those fantasy novels fatten up their host with lots of energy so that they can use that energy for sustenance.
Some systems encouraged their host to interact with the system interface and other features of the system, so, with that in mind, Allen knew that he should simply do the opposite of what his Supreme Luck System wanted him to do.
In other words, he wouldn’t chant “Guide” and with that in mind, he wouldn’t be able to interact with the system. And if he didn’t interact with the system, the system wouldn’t be able to obtain energy from him. Thus, Allen would be successfully torturing the system.
But he was well aware that even if he didn’t interact with the system, the system staying in his soul was enough for it to take some energy from him and if he didn’t do what the system wanted to do, he might die in the process.
It was like having parasitic worms in your intestines so if you don’t eat up and let those worms take the nutrients, they will start eating up your intestines instead as a last resort.
And that’s why Allen thought of the possibility that the system would use the last resort, such as forcefully eating up his soul if it couldn’t obtain any energy from him to serve as its nutrients.
Was Allen scared of the fact that his life wasn’t his anymore and he would die due to some soul parasite? Of course not!
He dared to kill himself by overdosing himself with sleeping pills so he have little to no fear of death. After all, he knew that life was hell and suffering while death was liberation.
Although letting the system eat up his soul would prevent him from reincarnating, he could care less about that since if he died, then he would die. Not to mention, the system having eaten up his soul would mean that the system would no longer have any soul to eat up, which meant that it would die unless it found another compatible host.
And from the system novels that he had read, there could only be one compatible host for a system and that was the protagonist.
Because a system traveling from one world to another took up lots of energy, he knew that the system wouldn’t be able to do that considering it would have insufficient energy to do that. As long as the system didn’t harvest any energy from him and resorted to eating up his soul instead.
Also, he knew that interacting with the system would undoubtedly lead to it finding ways to fatten him up with lots of energy for it to consume so that it could live. Other than interacting with the system, there was another way for a system to fatten him up with energy and lots more than just system interaction.
And that was system missions or tasks.
Allen knew that the system would issue its host a system mission or task just so that it could eat up more energy from its host.
It was like the system was a farmer and its host was its plot of land. By doing system missions, the system would be planting seeds in its plot of land, and when the system mission was completed, then all of the seeds had grown into wonderful crops for the system’s consumption.
And not interacting with the system meant that it wouldn’t be able to give him any system missions. Therefore, he would be able to successfully torture the system in that way.
Allen was daring and suicidal enough to be one of the first protagonists who would torture their own system. He was well aware that if he walked down this path, he would inevitably die but so was the system.
He would rather die than be a slave of the system. And if his life was the price for killing the system and preventing himself from being a slave so be it. Death was inevitable anyway and dying at a young age would only mean that he had received that inevitable outcome a lot earlier.
With that in mind, Allen resolved himself to his inevitable death as he walked the path of self-destruction–where he would torture his own system.
