Abyss Dominator System-Chapter 3 - 2: Turned Into an Egg.
Chapter 3 - 2: Turned Into an Egg.
This is a gloomy and oppressive world, where the sky is overcast with grey clouds, deprived of sunlight; above the firmament lies darkness, with only faint glimmers of dim light sprinkling down, rendering the world slightly less dreary and suffocating.
The land is parched and cracked, the soil itself a reddish hue, as if soaked in fresh blood.
A pitch-black river roars alongside, its waters endlessly flowing, stretching all the way to the horizon of the sky.
"Whoosh~!"
Suddenly, the black river surged, its waters rising in a tide!
"Plop~!"
"Plop~!"
One by one, large red eggs were washed ashore by the black river waters.
One, two, three, four, five...
There were countless, beyond numbering.
The riverbank was covered in large red eggs, each standing over a meter tall, their surfaces etched with arcane and mysterious patterns, and a faint light pulsated around them, dimming and brightening as if they were the slowly beating hearts of certain creatures.
Bai Yan felt lightheaded and groggy.
Memories that were not his own poured in crazily, causing his head to throb with pain.
The previous voice, it was the voice of the Abyss Will!
It had taken the form of a System, selecting Bai Yan, casting him into the Abyssal realm!
The pitch-black gate was a portal to the Abyssal realm.
This endless expanse of reddish land and murky world constituted the boundless Abyss World.
The red eggs were Demon Eggs.
The black river was the Nether River of the Abyss, and also the maternal river of Abyss Demons, which would produce a portion of Demon Eggs every cycle.
Some gods speculated that these Demon Eggs actually contained the souls of creatures from the material plane; upon the death of a mortal, their soul would transform into a Prayer Merger to arrive at the outer realms, there to receive their due punishment, reward, or judgment from fate.
And incubating within the Demon Eggs might be the ugliest class among all sorts of Prayer Mergers, though some Demon Gods have ridiculed this theory as incorrect, yet nobody truly knows the actual situation.
Even the demons themselves do not know why they emerge from the Demon Eggs.
The proper name for the Abyssal realm should be the "Endless Layers of the Bottomless Abyss."
The Abyss consists of countless barren and perilous realms, the term Abyssal realm referring broadly to these infinite planes.
It's said to be an infinitely suffocating and terrifying place.
A place with extremely harsh environments and extraordinarily dangerous life.
A place devoid of emotion, where slaughter never ceases.
Treachery, murder, survival, power—these represent the eternal cycle here.
Amongst the countless Abyssal layers, a variety of intelligent life forms and demons exist; and it goes without question that the demons are the most disputed masters of the Abyssal realm!
For they are powerful, cruel, cunning.
...
Memories that were not Bai Yan's own flowed into him incessantly, forcing him to accept them.
This included information about the "Abyss Dominator System" that had previously selected him, which was also being fed into him.
The pain seemed endless, and Bai Yan could no longer sense the existence of his own body and blood, he couldn't even feel his heart.
This void of space was like shackles binding him, and also like the nurturing placenta of a mother.
The sensation was exceedingly unpleasant, and Bai Yan felt as if his very thoughts had begun to solidify.
Until at one moment, Bai Yan suddenly felt that he regained a "body," a real sense of constraint surrounded him—this feeling was viscous, as if his entire being was placed inside a huge test tube filled with some kind of cultivating fluid.
He could not make any sound, nor could he scream, yet he yearned to break free.
This was an urge arising from the depths of his soul!
"Crack~!"
Amongst the Demon Eggs laid quietly beside the Black Nether River, suddenly, one of the eggs developed a crack, as if a creature within was attempting to break free, eager for birth.
Within the Abyssal realm, filled with death and blood, the emergence of Demon Eggs is the only thing that bears the significance of "life."
A large crimson larva crawled out of a Demon Egg with difficulty, repeatedly striking the shell.
It was evident that its birth was a struggle.
Ah!
Bai Yan took a deep breath; he felt himself emerge!
He finally shed the constraints!
But why...
Why can't I see anything?
Where are my hands?
Where are my feet?
Bai Yan couldn't feel his limbs at all; he could only rely on a kind of "sensation" to perceive the world around him, seeing nothing but dense, numerous red eggs, the sky dim, the earth cracked.
Could this be the Abyss?
"System, come out! Let me see what I look like now!"
Bai Yan roared inwardly; he had already mastered the use of the system during the previous bout of unconsciousness.
"Swoosh!"
A giant transparent screen invisible to others appeared in front of Bai Yan, reflecting his current appearance.
A thick, twisted body covered with blood-colored mysterious patterns, it crouched halfway, resembling a worm, one end continuously shaking curiously.
It had no eyes, only a ring that opened and closed, filled with sharp teeth, presumably its mouth...
Between the big mouth's sharp teeth dripped a strange translucent liquid, reminiscent of sulfuric acid with a strong corrosive nature!
"Host, this is your current appearance."
The cold voice of the System sounded.
Bai Yan "saw" his appearance on the system's screen, shuddering throughout, his entire "body" stiffening.
"System..."
Bai Yan's voice shuddered immensely within his mind.
"Hm? Please command me, host, the Abyss Dominator System aims to cultivate the most powerful Abyss Demon, and within the scope of authority, I will fulfill all of the host's requests!"
The System's voice remained cold, filled with a mechanical sense.
"You didn't tell me! By coming to the Abyssal realm, I would become a worm!!"
Bai Yan's voice was filled with grief and indignation: "How am I supposed to face anyone now!!!!!!"
"..."
The System fell silent, unable to explain this question. It popped up Bai Yan's attribute panel for Bai Yan to understand himself.
"Shua!"
The System's screen changed again, displaying a stream of data.
Name: Bai Yan.
True Name: None.
Age: Nineteen.
First Identity: Human.
Camp: Lawful Good
Second Identity: Demon Larva.
Camp: Chaotic Evil.
Physical Attributes: Strength 9, Agility 6, Constitution 8, Intelligence 8.
"This..."
Bai Yan's mouth twitched, full of speechlessness.
He really couldn't accept the fact that he had become a bug? A Demon Larva?
Well, although the prefix "Demon" is added in front, it's still just a bug!
Had he known this would happen, Bai Yan would have rather remained disabled than agree to the System's soul binding!
"System, you said you would help me grow stronger and gain power!"
Bai Yan took a deep breath and asked the System in his mind, "Can I still become a human? Can I go back to the world I was in before?"
"Of course! The Abyss Dominator System is the embodiment of the Abyss Will. Its purpose is to find a host and train them into a powerful Demon unparalleled in the Star Sea!"
The voice of the System was cold and mechanical, "The host can return to their own world at any time and become human again; of course, the host can also choose to fight and evolve in the Abyss layer, evolving from a Demon Larva into a Human-shaped Demon."
"Bullshit! Don't change the subject! I'm asking you how to go back!"
Bai Yan roared.
To stay in the Abyss layer for a lifetime?
And as a bug!
Who could accept such a fate?
This place, where not even the birds would defecate, was full of cunning, doubt, betrayal, and slaughter. Who, if they were sane, would want to stay here for their entire life?
"The host is not restricted in time and place when entering the Abyss layer. You can leave and enter as you wish! With just a thought, the door between planes opens for you at any time!"
The System's voice echoed.
"Good! Open the door between planes, I want to return!"
Bai Yan said decisively.
He didn't want to be a bug; he wanted to be human!
"Shua!"
Sure enough, as the System said, a gigantic black door between planes opened up before Bai Yan.
All Bai Yan needed to do was to wriggle his body slightly and crawl through the door to return to the Main Plane.
Just as Bai Yan awkwardly maneuvered his bug body, the previously silent voice of the System sounded again.
[After returning to the Main Plane, you, the host, will revert to your crippled human form, continuing to lie in your wretched pond, enduring the lashing of the storm... That must be a very enjoyable feeling.]
Bai Yan couldn't be sure if it was his illusion, but the System's voice seemed to carry a trace of mockery.
"Shut up!"
Bai Yan roared, his bug body stiffening to a halt, and he hesitated.
The strange yet familiar memories in Bai Yan's mind had already told him the truth.
In the Abyss layer, he possessed the identity of a Demon; but in the Main Plane, he was still that ordinary student named Bai Yan.
Want to be uncrippled? Want a complete body?
Want strength that no one dares to encroach upon? Want to control your own destiny?
It's simple...
Stay here in the Abyss layer to receive the baptism of slaughter and blood!
Evolve into a stronger Demon!
The Abyss Dominator System does not force Bai Yan to do anything; it does not compel him to stay and fight.
But Bai Yan knew that he must stay and fight and devour other Demons to evolve and gain even greater power.
In return, as the reward from the Abyss Will, all the power and evolution gained by Bai Yan in the Abyss layer, including all attribute points and Demon Talents, Demon Skills, etc... can all be brought back to the Main Plane.
In fact, Bai Yan can evolve into a Human-shaped Demon form!
All the powers of Bai Yan as a Demon, including the physical attributes of a Demon, can be overlaid onto his body in the Main Plane, making the human Bai Yan in the Main Plane powerful as well!
Because Bai Yan has two identities, sharing one soul!
He is both human and Demon!
Is it better to obediently crawl back, remaining that disabled ordinary exchange student?!
Or should he stay for the cruelest, the baptism of blood and fire?!
Should he endure the humiliation of being the lowest of humans... or possess the powerful Demon abilities and achieve supreme status!
As long as he evolves into a Top Level Demon, he can possess mighty strength, command countless Demon armies, and control the life and death of countless beings across numerous planes!
To sleep peacefully with beauties or to awake wielding the power over the world!
What is the emperor of the world compared to that!
If I had power, would Jin Xuanxuan betray me? Would Li Feiwen dare to send someone to harm me? Would I still need to worry about the gaze of others and not dare to accept An Xiaowan's love?
No!
Power can change everything!
Only the strong deserve dignity!
The System made no sounds, but various thoughts were continuously flashing in Bai Yan's mind.
Sometimes, changing a person's belief is a very simple thing...
The body of the Demon Larva, which moved with difficulty, was unconsciously turning away without heading towards the door between planes.
"Host..."
The System emitted a questioning and hoarse voice.
"Shut that door, it's annoying to look at."
Bai Yan licked his lips, turning his "head" towards the countless Demon Eggs around him, feeling a surge of excitement and desire rising in his heart: "I'm hungry, I need to eat something!"
