Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Chapter 133: Arriving, The Rule of Despair!

"Hehe, the sight of civilization, how wonderful... even though it was already in the middle of the night, most of them were still active."

Leo thought in exhilaration, sticking his shadow body to the side of the tall wall as he stared in the distance (night shop) in pure happiness. Discover hidden tales at мѵʟ

The sight of it and the loud sound of the chaotic market still manage to reach his senses even though the distance between them reaches at least 300 meters apart... as if the darkness above couldn't hinder their hope and excitement.

...

After watching for a while, Leo's initial excitement began to dry up before being replaced by boredom.

Although it was fun to watch their hope from afar, the happiness within him was slowly being filled/replaced with envy, tempting his being to destroy their hope and happiness, causing him to shake his shadow head in denial...

"Is this the feeling of the demon?"

He thought, depressed as he gritted his imaginary teeth in determination... Wanting to quickly gain his physical body to suppress the malevolent feeling within him.

Dragging his shadow body back toward the wall above, Leo took a long last glance toward the (night market) in the distance before unhurriedly transversing the wall, planning to go toward the silent housing in the far distance that was being shrouded by night... Feeling that something/someone was summoning him toward the place.

Although there were guards that were occasionally walking above the wall, walking past Leo's shadow figure, unaware of his existence since all of them only reached the early-peak foundation realm...

Leo couldn't help but sigh in relief, quite relieved that they couldn't sense him, putting him at ease as he hurriedly transited the place.

...

"This place, the residential area of the poor?"

Leo quietly thought, quite surprised by his findings, not expecting that the life of the past would reappear in this apocalyptic era.

The sight of waste that consists of countless beasts' bones, decaying flesh of the unknown, and waste from the previous era scattered throughout the place, appearing in his every line of sight.

On the far left side of the residential area of the (poor), Leo could see drainage with black dirtied water, constantly flowing through the unknown passage... he could even see the excreted of the beings getting carried by the wave.

Making him unconsciously cover his nose as if he could smell its disgusting fragrance.

"This should be impossible right? This is the era of superhuman yet... Their lives were worse than the past civilization."

Leo pondered deep within, thinking that life was extremely unfair sometimes... Already having an idea why they remained in this sh*tty place although they could have created one by themselves...

"How comfortable no wonder demons love and enjoy causing despair, unrest, and fear toward beings...'

...

Soon, after an hour of absorption, the despair above him already thinned out, causing Leo to sigh with regret, having no choice but to stop.

Checking his shadow beings, it seems that they become much denser compared to before, enabling him to control his shadow body (At new heights) to a great degree!
