Chương 35: Chilling around
Roger slept for a few hours, and when he woke up, it was dark. He looked at the sky and stared at the moon. It was the same as in his previous world.
"Do you think there is a way back home?"
[Not really. Dimensional travel is hard to even for gods.]
"Well, that was a blunt answer. Couldn't you sugarcoat it a little bit? Wait…"
[And why would I do that? Besides, which world do you even consider your home?]
"Well…"
Roger was embarrassed to say he missed his friends, so he kept quiet. He was thinking about them and felt sad. He was often annoyed by Jasmine. Whenever they were drinking, she and Hiro would always tease him. However, now he will never see them again. Only now does he realize the cost of his reincarnation.
[Seriously?]
The system decided to read his thoughts and saw memories of him partying with his friends. Having a normal daily life. The system felt his sadness and rage, which were not visible on Roger's face.
[You had a family but missed your friends instead? You're an intriguing guy.]
"Well, they were like a family to me. Darvin would count as a family to me. I wish to know what happened to them."
[I know what happened.]
"Huh?"
[Hiro went berserk, and with the help of Jasmine, he destroyed the city. Jasmine used magic to create a remembrance of you. A huge statue of you, reaching the sky.]
"What about Darvin, Sam and Julia?"
[Sam and Darvin decided to avoid Hiro's and Jasmine's affairs. While Julia became depressed, but Jasmine is helping her.]
Roger felt relieved and wiped off the few tears on his face. He felt embarrassed and decided to forget this whole incident.
"Let's continue the hunt?"
[Already? Are you sure? It is still very dark. Can you even see?]
Instead of answering, Roger began playing with his breaths and making his belly as slim as possible. Then he continued annoying the system.
"Do you think those guys ever fed me? You know, the parents of this guy. Look at me. I am as thin as a skeleton."
[You know what? Remember when I told you not to endanger yourself?]
Roger was startled by the question. And thought, 'What does this have to do with my belly?'
"Yes, what about it?"
[Please endanger yourself as much as possible.]
"Why?"
[So I would get a new host. Or die. I don't know what will happen to me if you pass away, but even death seems better now.]
After hearing the system's statement, Roger opened his mouth in surprise, and the next moment, he got electro therapy again.
"Auch! You crazy asshole! Auch!! Stop that!"
This time system continued to electrocute Roger for 10 minutes. His health points almost dropped to zero.
"Please, forgive me, milady!"
[Humpf!]
She sent shock one last time and decided to ignore Roger for a while and only interact when it was indispensable. Meanwhile, Roger was punching the ground and cursing at the system as he looked at his health points.

"Unbelievable! Do you want to kill me?!"
[I would if I could. But you're fortunate! IDIOT!]
"This is why you have no friends!~"
The system kept quiet, processing what Roger had just said. She muttered after a minute. [What?]
Roger got up and began to stretch his numb body. After a long silence, the system decided to ask Roger a question.
[How did you manage to survive till adulthood in your original life?]
"Because I lived in a peaceful neighborhood. Why?"
[You seem like a guy who would die in some ridiculous way. You know, like get ran over by a truck on his way to shop.]
"… Fuck you."
Roger frowned because the last sentence irritated him. He picked up the scythe and walked deeper into the woods. The system laughed loudly at her success in annoying Roger back.
[Hahaha!~]
After about half an hour, the two stay silent as neither wanted to talk to her. Roger was pissed at the reminder of how he died. He was still angry at Sara for what had happened. However, he knew it was his fault for standing at the edge of the bridge.
[Can you hear that?]
"Hear what?"
Roger heard a weird buzzing sound, so he looked around but saw nothing. The sound made Roger feel tense, as he was not sure if the source of the sound was dangerous, so he decided to hide. He slowly walked towards the tree and climbed up. Roger lay on an extensive branch and waited. The sound was getting closer, and Roger felt more anxious.
"Is that a fucking bug?"
[Yes, I would advise you to stay hidden. These creatures are known to be highly aggressive to all other life forms. It also has a medium-level poison within its stinger, which I will not be able to heal if you come intact with it. Medium level poison removal costs 9 reward points.]
"Oh, right. Thank you for the heads up."
A giant bee flies underneath Roger. It seemed to be the size of a human child. About 1 meter tall. Dorrian jumped off the branch when it was right to bellow him.
[What are you doing?]
Roger fell straight on the bee's head and slashed it with his hand. His current strength allowed him to quickly cut off the head of the creature with a single slice before hitting the ground. A bee softened the impact of Roger's fall.
"That was scary…."
He could feel his hands shaking from the adrenaline. He couldn't hide the smile at this successful kill. Suddenly he heard his favorite sound.
*Ping*
[It appears that you have accumulated 530 experience points.]
[It appears that you have accumulated 530 experience points.]
[It appears that you have accumulated 530 experience points.]
[It appears that you have accumulated 530 experience points.]
"So much experience!~"
[Congratulations on leveling up!]
Roger was highly pleased that his risk had worked out. He got the thr, but he also managed to get a level so early in the morning.
"Come to papa, my sweet stat points!~"
On the other hand, the system was speechless for the moment. Roger's dangerous act could have easily killed him as it was almost ten meters from the ground. If he fell head first, he would have died. She was angry, confused, and wanted to scream.
[ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?!]
"Can we talk about this later? Status, milady!~"

"Five more levels to finish the tutorial quest. The system, could you add the stat points from the reward and put them to my strength?"
[Available stat points: 3
Available reward points: 7]
[Mana: 13/13]
"Good girl! Who is a good girl? You are!"
Roger began teasing the system, and a few moments later, he fell to the ground. The system was so irritated it electrocuted Roger to the point his skin smoked. The system was so enraged by Roger's behavior that it snapped and electrocuted him so hard that Roger's brain went numb.
[Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!]
Roger wondered if Chaos would reincarnate him if the system killed him. When the system calmed down, Roger continued to lie on the ground. His clothes and skin were still burning, but he could tolerate it with a massive pain resistance and enhanced defense.
"Please remind me not to tease this woman ever again."
[Who are you talking to, Roger?]
"The readers."
One more wave of electricity reached Roger's body. The system began searching her settings but was disappointed, as she could not find a self-destruct option.
