Outside the red torii gate of the shrine, Lilith planted her boot firmly into Mark’s chest, kicking him away so she could chamber her weapon for another strike on Rita's head.BANG!She swung with all her strength, aiming to crush Rita's skull, but this time she wasn't so lucky. Rita caught the metal pole barehanded. Her grip was so intensely tight that the iron tube groaned, compressing and bending inward under her fingers before she forcefully rippe

229. Tamer
Mark’s POVAlice—now possessed by Yui—was called back into the house, obviously to be used as a bodyguard. I hated the idea, but I had more pressing matters at hand. Besides, l heard Kaida talking about how Yui should heard straight for the secret passage, so this meant Alice would be safe for now. This was it. I had encountered the organization Mr. Brownstone warned me about much sooner than expected. I’d tried to run from that reality, hiding away on a vacation with my girls.Reality has a funny way of catching up, no matter how far you run.I pulled back my sleeves, wore my shoes and tightened the laces. I glanced over at Kaida."Did you know… some old guy back in my country told me the Revolutionaries have at least nine system users in their arsenal?"Kaida frowned, his expression darkening. "They were at seven the last time I crossed paths with them. The bastards hunt fast!" He spat on the ground. "Let's hit them hard and fast before it's too late!""Right…" I nodded, then hesit
228. Dirty floors and blinding lights
Mark glanced back at Lilith and his still-possessed sister."Can I count on you to hold her for a little while, Lily?" he asked. He knew full well that in this state, Rita was nearly impossible to handle. Yet Lilith—ever the faithful partner, terrified of disappointing him—stood tall, her fingers gently tracing the red marks on her throat where Rita had choked her."Sure... leave it to me!" Lilith glared daggers at the thrashing girl. "I'll make sure to pay her back for choking me."Mark smiled, feeling a surge of relief. "I'm counting on you!"Turning back toward the shrine, he charged up the weathered stone steps. The closer he got to the main sanctuary, the thicker and more suffocating the ambient aura became.*Whoever this System User is, they're terrifyingly strong!*Mark slammed the heavy wooden doors open, stepping firmly onto the dark, polished floorboards with his weapon drawn. The interior was dimly lit by flickering candles, quiet and serene."Alright! Whoever you are, I ne

Meanwhile.....Outside the red torii gate of the shrine, Lilith planted her boot firmly into Mark’s chest, kicking him away so she could chamber her weapon for another strike on Rita's head.BANG!She swung with all her strength, aiming to crush Rita's skull, but this time she wasn't so lucky. Rita caught the metal pole barehanded. Her grip was so intensely tight that the iron tube groaned, compressing and bending inward under her fingers before she forcefully ripped it out of Lilith's hands.Lilith’s eyes widened in horror as her weapon was snatched away with brute force right before her eyes. Before she could even process her next move, Rita surged to her feet. Her hand shot forward, clamping around Lilith’s throat, choking the breath out of her as she hoisted her effortlessly into the air. Lilith’s feet dangled uselessly above the ground as she struggled to break the grip.Meanwhile, Mark scrambled up from the dirt, his mind furiously
226. Yui and Kaida
Earlier That Day...A young man, nineteen to twenty-one years old, mopped the wooden floor thoroughly, making sure not even a single speck of dust remained.He was dressed only in a white tank top and boxers. Despite it being early morning with a sharp chill hanging in the air, he didn’t feel cold. Not even slightly. Who would feel cold after blasting through two hundred consecutive push-ups without a single break?After finishing the floors—walking barefoot across the clean wood—he clicked his fingers. A tiny spark of fire ignited in the hearth, illuminating the firewood. Placing a heavy cast-iron pan over the heat, he began frying eggs while expertly prepping bread and tea on the side.As he worked, a light sweat beaded on his forehead. He brushed it away, revealing smooth skin that, along with the rest of his flawless complexion, could easily make someone mistake him for a girl at first glance. Fortunately, his sharp, defined jawline
225. Possession
Rita didn’t even look up at Mark. Her eyes were hollow and empty. After he blocked her initial strike, she flipped backward effortlessly, landing in a bizarre, disjointed posture with legs stretched wide, hands dangling loosely like a practitioner of some twisted drunken boxing."Go check on Lilith!" Mark roared at a terrified Alice. "I'll handle whatever the hell this is!"Mark dropped into his own fighting stance. The last thing he wanted was to hurt his sister, but the reality of the situation forced his hand: either he fought, or he stood by and watched Rita slaughter them all."I choose to fight," he hissed under his breath, locking his resolve.With a burst of speed, he charged. Rita lunged forward to meet him, her movements an unsettling contradiction, clunky and dead-eyed like a zombie, yet blindingly fast. Their fists collided mid-air with a brutal, deafening crack, like two boulders smashing together."How did you
224. The red gate
At exactly 5:00 PM, Mark and the girls stepped out of their hotel rooms. Mark carried a small bag slung over his shoulder. It held only the essentials: a flashlight, some snacks, water, and—just in case—a few small throwing knives. He would have vastly preferred a firearm, but Japan’s strict laws made civilian gun ownership next to impossible.Bundled up in warm jackets, beanies, and heavy boots, the group huddled on the sidewalk, waiting for their Uber."So... we aren't staying for long, right?" Alice asked, shivering slightly."Depends," Mark replied.Alice raised an eyebrow. "On what, exactly?"Before Mark could answer, Rita let out a sudden shriek. She clutched her head, her face twisting into utter disgust. High above them in the branches of a barren tree, a bird had just ruined her night."What the fuck?!" she gagged, wiping bird poop from her hair while the other girls burst out laughing.Lilith pul
