Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Days quietly passed by...

The rare sensation of serenity seems to descend to the bland cemetery; only the faint sounds of unceasing tearing and stitching could be faintly heard in the surrounding area...

Already reverberating within for a few days, causing the living entities nearby to already become used to its annoying sounds.

Noticeably, the number of roaming abominations (puppets) within the periphery of the cemetery increased by dozens... Already climbing to hundreds.

Their fierce aura, able to shake the atmosphere unconsciously, in addition to their hideous appearance that seemingly originated from someone else's nightmare, adds an additional touch to the bland cemetery, causing the mutated living within the endless forest to dare not approach the area.

However, even though that was the case, there are still some unintelligent beasts below the core formation realm who entered the perimeter of the bland cemetery from time to time—making them regret it for their entire lives.

...

Churn!

Ding!

[ Congratulations. The Bland Cemetery Scenario reached its requirements and successfully upgraded to the two-star scenario! ]

Ding!

[ The Bland Cemetery: A place of death, homing thousands of corpses within. In the morning, countless crows could be heard unceasingly cawing above, being shrouded by thin, oppressive mist, only showing their beady emotionless eyes that preyed toward flesh...

Horror Star Rating: ★★

Ability: Summon Mutated Ghouls (5), Little Illusion.

Requirements to upgrade: 1000 sensations of sincere horror, fear, and despair (0/1000).

Note: A horror scenario that ascended weeks ago. It had the basic ability to restore itself. ]

...

As Leo was busy handling the rest of the corpses—making them into puppets—the sound of notification suddenly rang within his consciousness, followed by the stirring of the earth around him...

Not giving him time to react or show confusion on his face as everything within his senses began to tremble unceasingly.

An earthquake comparable to magnitude 5 instantly shrouded the area of the bland cemetery, causing the countless epitaphs, tombs, and structures inside to sway eerily—seemingly being consumed by mist as their structure began to change under the cold, prying eyes of Leo.

Crack- Crack~ Crack!@@novelbin@@

Cracks hurriedly spread toward the encompassing earth, consuming the agitated grasses around as thick vines, with a thickness comparable to the wrist of an adult, sprouted from the unknown depths of the splitting earth—quickly slithering and intertwining to the changing tombs and epitaphs while some of them coiled and climbed the towering trees within the area of the bland cemetery.

"Wha—"

While drastic changes were occurring inside the bland cemetery, the transparent notification of the system suddenly appeared in front of Leo's eyes, causing him to instinctively halt his movement as he read the text within with unprecedented seriousness.

...

Ding!

[ Congratulations upon successfully upgrading the Bland Cemetery Scenario to 2 stars!

Please choose two skills below to integrate into the Bland Cemetery scenario! ]

~~~~~ Skill Choices ~~~~~

1. Summon Medium Skeletons: Cold metallic bones slowly emerge from the soft soil when night arrives, roaming the land of death and dragging beings toward the afterlife.

(Gain 20 medium Skeletons upon choosing this option.)

2. Soul Siphoning Vines: The sounds of rusting can often be heard when the night arrives... Be careful not to be coiled by the unknown entity, or else death will be assured.

(Vines within the bland cemetery would gain an ability to move and skill that could absorb the souls of beings it coiled.)

3. Summon Ghouls +1: Spirits that managed to escape from beyond, entering the living world just to consume life force. With their superior speed, they could kill a being without them noticing it.

(Increase the number of mutated ghouls by 10.)

4. Mimic: A permanent skill that would attach to the scenario upon being chosen. It could copy sounds to a greater extent, causing its illusion ability to become more believable.

"Indeed, I didn't expect that the bland cemetery scenario would increase to two stars while I was processing the corpses.

"But, how did it manage to complete the 100 sensations of sincere horror, fear, and despair requirements?"

Remembering the existence of the six cultivators that stayed in the cemetery when the devils invaded the town, Leo seems to understand how the bland cemetery silently upgraded to two stars...

It's just that he had no idea how those six fared upon filling the requirements of the bland cemetery.

"I should look at them later after I finished processing the rest of the corpses; they already paid their rent by upgrading the bland cemetery scenario; I could let them return to the town."

Deciding the fate of the 6, Leo then shifted his gaze toward the panel in front of him, falling into deep thought before pondering about the two skills that he would choose.

"With countless high-level puppets, I could ignore the two skills that could summon medium skeletons and the increase in mutated ghouls number.

"Unfortunately, if only their strength were equivalent to the core formation realm upon being summoned..."

Considering that the summoned beings would only be at level 1 mortal realm, Leo immediately abandoned the first and third choices, only leaving the "Soul Siphoning Vines" and "Mimic" skills behind.

Ding!

[ Choosing the "Soul Siphoning Vines" and "Mimic" skills for the Bland Cemetery scenario.

(Accept/Declined)? ]

Seeing this, Leo, without any hesitation, hurriedly clicked the accept button...

Rustle~

In an instant, a chilling wind blew toward the encompassing land of the bland cemetery, seemingly carrying a miserable aura that descended toward the place.

The thick vines, intertwining countless tombs and epitaphs, started to tremble uncomfortably, twisting slowly akin to a sly snake, as if waiting for someone to fall under their trap...

Successfully gaining a life before they again become inactive.

Pssst! Pssst!

As Leo was staring at the dry vines, watching them twist with his gray irises, a sudden sound of calling echoed behind him, causing him to feel surprised as he hurriedly shifted his gaze toward the origin of the sound.

However, surprisingly, upon looking at his back, only the bland epitaph, covered in dark green moss while being shrouded by shadow, appeared within his senses...

Even spreading his divine senses, Leo still couldn't see any sign of humans... But still, the sound of faint calling continued.

"The mimic skill? D*mn, even I got fooled!"
