Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

A soft breeze that carried the scent of nature silently caressed the bland land beneath. Giving it a hint of life that unconsciously calmed the minds of the beings around.

Above, the dark fissure, devoid of any light could be discerned hiding the figure of the sun behind. Lowering the heat and light that the land received, slowly shrouding it in bland luster.

Huff~

Within the corner of the bland cemetery, where unknown creatures that were beyond one's understanding could be seen roaming around, enough to make one's mortal mind collapse upon seeing their grotesque figure.

Leo slowly opened his eyes, exhaling turbid air from his lungs before unfolding a smile on his pale face. Feeling extremely energetic upon cultivating for 2 hours.

"Not bad. Not only did I recover the lost Qi I spent, but my liquified Qi also increased by a small amount!'

Stretching his pale physique, seeing that his doll puppets were already done priming the land (50 meters in diameter) in the distance. Leo revealed a satisfied expression on his face.

Taking a light breath as he excitedly opened his character panel, eyes lit up as he began browsing the unending list of spiritual fruits, seeds, and herbs in the system shop.

Understanding that spiritual plants below grade 2 had little effect on his physique, Leo decided to focus on grade 2 and above spiritual plants in the shop.

Reading their description seriously, wanting to find plants that were suitable for living in a place abundant in death, yin, and undead energy... Not wanting to waste horror points due to mistakes.

"Sigh~ planting really needs careful consideration...

"I couldn't just grow spiritual plants within the cemetery without considering the compatibility in energy."

Huff~

"Planting a spiritual plant that focuses on aspects of life within the place abundant of Death Qi would drastically lower their growth speed and quality.

"Making the effort and horror points that I spend to go waste... Furthermore, I would need to start again, wasting time in the process."

Mumbling weakly under his breath, Leo slowly scrolled through the unending choices in his front. Caressing his chin slightly in order to look cool in the eyes of the curious puppet in the short distance.

Ding!

~~Spiritual Tree, Seed, and Herbs Shop~~

1: Great Snake Vine (Low-Grade 2): A thick vine that has combat ability equivalent to the peak of the foundation realm! Upon its peak, it would bear a small fruit that could increase the Qi of cultivators below the Middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

Cost: 10,000 Horror points per vine!

2: Dead Tree Bark(Middle-Grade 2): A hollow tree that could house a corpse within its body. Upon absorbing all the nutrients from its victim (depending on their level), they would release a sap full of death Qi!

Consuming the sap could corrode the life force of living beings and could greatly help beings with a high affinity for death elements.

Cost: 15,000 Horror points per sapling!

3: Tree of Nether (High-Grade 2): A tree that unconsciously consumes the death Qi around in order to create a fruit of death...

Consuming the fruit of death could cleanse the physique of beings below the Nascent Soul realm, causing their talents to increase by a small amount.

Cost: 50,000 Horror points per sapling!

4: Grass of Nether (Mid-Grade 2): A stalk of plants that manages to survive and mutate within the Netherworld, making their resistance to death energy drastically increase.

Upon being consumed directly, it could permanently increase the resistance of a being to death energy... Furthermore, there's also a little probability of awakening a skill related to death!

Cost: 25,000 Horror points per stalk!

...

Soon, after scrolling for half an hour, pondering carefully as he removed the spiritual plants that weren't suitable to grow inside the bland cemetery.

Leo quietly stared at the 4 spiritual plants that he decided to buy. Couldn't help but release a soft chuckle just by reading their impressive information... Making him wonder how could the system get all the spiritual plants that exist through the unknown void and space.

Furthermore, he even saw a spiritual plant that managed to reach the 7th Grade! A spiritual plant that cost a staggering 2 million horror points!

"Hehe~ Maybe the system was a farmer in his past life...'

He seriously thought inside his head, believing the conjecture he blindly created. Fortunately, the system couldn't hear his thoughts (without him allowing it) or else... The system will probably change the tip it gave to itself every hour by a staggering amount!

Making an excuse that would anger Leo greatly.

Huff~

"I again got occupied with my thoughts...

"I should start planting now before the sun sets toward the horizon... since I still have things to do when the night arrives.

"Furthermore, I still needed to curse that lowly devil, preventing it from having a good and peaceful life!'

Shaking his head, concealing the hatred within his being that suddenly resurfaces upon thinking of that low devil. Leo again stared at the system in his front, pondering slightly before buying 2 Great Vine Snakes within...

Ding!

-20,000 horror points!

In an instant, after his horror points were reduced by 20 thousand. Two small green vines, as long as a ruler (12 inches) magically appeared on his right palm...

Slithering lively as they tightly coiled around Leo's shoulder. Making Leo revealed a soft smile on his pale face upon feeling their strength, sensing that their current strength surprisingly reached the peak stage of the mortal realm!

Considering that they were still at the early stage of their growth, having a strength that could rival a peak mortal realm was beyond Leo's imagination!

Sigh~

"Unfortunately, their movement was greatly restricted by their race. Making their combat ability extremely limited.

"Furthermore, they couldn't leave the ground for an extended period of time... or else they will slowly weaken before dying afterwards due to the lack of sustenance that they could only get on the ground.'

Leisurely walking toward the corner of his new farm, Leo slightly bent his front knee, parting the soil below as he carefully planted the little vines, instantly making them quiver in excitement upon feeling the abundant Qi within the earth.

Seeing their lively figure, Leo slowly shook his head. Again staring at the system shop as he spent 105,000 horror points, buying 2 Dead Tree Barks, 1 Tree of Nether, and 1 stalk of Grass Nether.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Only leaving him with 205,000 horror points on his account, making his heart tighten inexplicably upon seeing his horror points reducing at unprecedented speed!

"Sigh~ shopping is indeed fun but at the same time horrifying upon seeing your wallet go from initial full to empty!'

Sighing slightly, Leo began to plant the saplings and the stalk of grass that emerged from the void with a heavy heart... Taking out the thick black water that he personally got from the forsaken place (pit) as he began watering the new spiritual plants that he planted.

Soon, after a quarter an hour.

Leo lightly patted his hands, removing the soil that stuck to his fingers as he stared at the setting sun on the far horizon.

Dyeing the land in an orange hue, illuminating the cemetery with its mesmerizing light as the sounds of cricket and crows, began to resound within the peaceful place... Making Leo pause for a moment as he began to appreciate its beauty.

"The beauty of nature...'

Seemingly sensing something, Leo silently took out a Peak Enlightenment Stone within his inventory. Tightly grasping it in his arms as he began to sense the rule of Life Nature from the far horizon.

Absorbing its vastness as his gaze never left the setting sun- making his physique glow slightly as soft heat began to emit from his pale physique, a huge contrast from his usual cold aura that he always released!

"Experiencing everything... I seem to understand the hidden meaning of it. Not only do I need to experience the desires of life and the emotions of life... But I also need to understand the beauty of nature.

"The beauty of nature and the cruelty it was hiding..."

...

Swish!

Beholding the crumbling stone in his hand, losing its original luster before turning it into a powder that falls toward the ground.

Leo silently retracts his gaze from the horizon. Exhaling slightly as the heat around his body hurriedly vanished, reverting back to its previous coldness that was similar to a corpse!
