Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Sigh.

Revealing pity in his eyes, Leo couldn't help but sigh deeply... Shaking his head before mumbling in a low voice.

"I'm really soft-hearted."

Staring at the figure of Skeleton #1 twitching violently on the ground as it created a clanking sound of horror from time to time, Leo silently retracted his gaze from it before again fully activating his restrain (rare) skill...

Causing the twitching of the unconscious silver skeleton on the ground to weaken visibly before finally stopping after a while.

Ding!

[ Congratulations upon causing a horror inside one's dream for the first time!

+1, 000 horror points!

+2 free attributes! ]

Ding!

+2,500 horror points! (Gain from the horror of Skeleton #1)

This... Nevermind.

"Since you dare to make a move to your summoner and also planning to make me your slave...

"Then I will cast a nightmare toward you every night... Hehehe,"

Seeing the horror points he gained after casting his nightmare skill, Leo began to laugh creepily as he stared toward the skeleton on the ground with glinted/smiling eyes.

Soon, after laughing for a while, Leo again fell silent before asking the system inside his mind.

"How is it system?"

Ding!

[ Host could spend 5,000 horror points to again cast a brand toward the souls of the two skeletons, causing them to be unable to betray you for the time being!

Note: Only possible due to you being their summoner and due to the horror energy that you gave them at the early stage! ]

"Would they still betray me in the future?"

Seeing this, Leo again asks the system in confirmation, wanting to avoid future possible trouble.

Ding!

[ Yes, but they at least needed to advance toward the Core Formation realm in addition to the unstable factors brought after advancement... Before they could betray you again! ]

"I see, then it's good!"

Hearing this, Leo nodded his head in slight satisfaction before gazing toward the peeking Skeleton #2 in the distance.

Compared to the problematic Skeleton #1, Skeleton #2 seems fine and stable in Leo's perspective. It didn't attack nor betray him for the time being which is good.

However, in able to prevent further problems from arising, Leo still purchases the brand, instantly reducing his horror points by another 5,000...

Only leaving him with less than 30,000 horror points.

"Sigh, I should find a way to earn Horror points since this number wouldn't last long...

Huff~, the feeling of poverty hit me again!"

***

Soon, another three days silently passed by.

Leo dragged the still-unconscious body of Skeleton #1 with a thin rope connecting them as the group advanced further, toward their destination...

Entering deeper and deeper toward the endless forest.

Surprisingly, after the short accident that happened in the past few days, the group didn't and never mentioned a single thing about it.

They merely asked about their well-being for some time and reminded him to be careful in the future before again continuing their journey.

Although it was surprising yet at the same time scary, the group didn't think too much about it since every single one of them probably had a hidden ability under them that they never showed in public. (in case...)

Clank... (What happened).

Skeleton #1 quivered slightly as it stared at the canopy in silence, feeling dreaded and fearful as the time passed by...

Confused about everything that happened, feeling that it died countless times but at the same time not.

Clank... (Didn't, did I die?)

Skeleton #1 created a low confused clanking sound, instantly attracting the attention of the group... Causing them to momentarily halt their movement as they stared at the silver skeleton on the ground (behind Leo) in silence.

Feeling a hint of sympathy within them even though they have no idea what really happened.

However, since it took/endured the madness of Leo three days ago, then it probably suffered a lot...

...

Clank~ (N~no...)

In an instant, seeing the pale face of Leo, Skeleton #1 couldn't help but shriek loudly akin to a being being butchered alive, causing Leo to feel a slight hint of guilt toward it.

Although Skeleton #1 is wrong this time, Leo probably overdid his punishment, causing it to instinctively feel fear after seeing him.

Still...

"There's no next time, I hope you won't plot and make mistakes in the future..." Leo said as he untied the rope on his waist, approaching Skeleton #1 before patting its head slowly.

Seeing this, Skeleton #1 instinctively avoids the approaching hand of Leo in pure fear, still not forgetting the face of Leo when the Seed of Sin blooms within him.

...

"This..." Seeing this, Leo awkwardly retracted his hand, smiling weakly before standing up.

I probably overdid the Nightmare... Did he dream of me in his nightmare?

If that is the case, then it makes sense.

Leo shook his head as he moved toward the distance, letting Skeleton #2 help to calm down Skeleton #1.

***

Clank... (I... Sorry)

Soon, after half an hour of comforting, Skeleton #1 weakly approaches Leo, apologizing for what it did previously before hurriedly running toward the distance.

Although it sincerely apologizes to him, Leo only notices the deep fear hidden in its eyes as it quivers slightly before it runs toward the distance to avoid him.

...

Sigh... I didn't know if what I did was correct or wrong.

Life is... really confusing and full of mistakes, I thought everything I did makes sense... But I seem to overdid everything.

I thought my life was set upon gaining a system... But, sigh... I just noticed that everything I did had consequences.

"It's really confusing."

Leo shook his head as he stared above the fissure, contemplating about the countless mistakes he had made in the past few weeks, feeling slightly lost.

"Huff~ mistakes are mistakes and future is future... I should do my best to avoid creating the same mistakes in the future to avoid this uncomfortable feeling from happening again!"

Leo eventually shook his head, planning to practice the thread skill to bury the distracting thought within him.
