My Immoral Detective System

After spending years in an isekai world with a stupid system, when Zion's strength powered up to an unimaginable level, his system smirked and asked, "Didn't I say I'll help you?" Zion sneered and refused to speak a word. What help? The system's only help was showing him ways to powering up, but it was Zion who made all the effort! But the system was still unsatisfied. "Why aren't you speaking? Praise me! I made you so powerful!" "Really. Thanks a lot!" Zion spoke through his gritted teeth and decided to endure until he met the system's creator face-to-face to repay the grudge in a friendly, welcoming way! . . . . . . Zion was known for being one of the smartest detectives. Many young people labeled him as a modern Sherlock, but he died a horrible death in an explosion and transmigrated to a mysterious realm. “Oi, servant 52, pour water in my cup.” A female voice echoed in his ears just when he appeared in the new world. Servant 52? He opened his eyes and looked around. Later he found out that as a human, his fate was worse than animals! Humans were all slaves who were meant to be controlled by wealthy masters! Then he turned his gaze toward his own 'master' who was carrying a sword and charging at the enemy. A bloodthirsty aura surrounded her that made her seem invincible. Why did his master have to be so powerful?! Just when he was thinking how he would survive in this world, a system appeared in front of his eyes. Hope returned to him in the form of a system as he sighed in relief, but to his dismay, the latter slowly revealed his perverted nature. It turns out that he got a bizarre, twisted system that had a thing for girls of all races! How would he live in a society full of people who despised humans with a mediocre system that was the polar opposite of 'smart'? *** Disclaimer: This novel includes the topic of human slavery. Just warning you guys. (Nope, not sexual slavery, but the kind of slavery where you would humiliate them verbally, blame the humans for everything even when it's not their mistake, and basically abusing humans, but I promise, it'll get better) Update schedule: One chapter a day at GMT +8 5:30 am.

THE GIRL AND THE GHOST

THE GHOST KNEW his master was about to die, and he wasn’t exactly unhappy about it. He knew that sounded bad. You’d think, after all those years together, that even he might have felt a twinge of sadness about the whole situation. But it’s hard to feel sorry for someone when: a) you’re a ghost, and everyone knows ghosts don’t have hearts, and b) that someone made her living out of forcing you to make other people miserable. He stared at her now as she lay on the narrow bed, gray and gaunt in the light of the full moon, her breath rasping and shallow. Watching her teeter slowly toward the end was a bit like watching a grape slowly become a raisin: the years had sucked the life and vitality out of her until she was nothing but a wrinkled shell of her former self. “Well,” she wheezed, squinting at him. Well, he said. “One more for the road, eh?” she said, nodding to the full moon out the window. And she grimaced as she offered him the ring finger of her right hand, as she had done so many times before. The ghost nodded. It seemed frivolous, but after all, he still needed to eat, whether or not his master lay dying. As he bent his head over the wrinkled hand, his sharp little teeth pricking the skin worn and calloused from time and use, the witch let out a sharp breath. Her blood used to be rich and strong and so thick with her magic that the ghost could get himself drunk on it, if he wasn’t careful. Now all he tasted was the stale tang of age, the sour notesthat came with impending death, and a bitter aftertaste he couldn’t quite place. Regret, perhaps. It was the regret that was hardest to swallow. The ghost drank nothing more than he had to, finishing quickly and sealing the tiny pinpricks of his teeth on her skin with spit. It is done, he told her, the words familiar as a favorite song, the ritual as comforting as a warm blanket. And I am bound to you, until the end. The witch patted his horned head gently. Her touch surprised him —she had never been particularly affectionate. “Well,” she said, her voice nothing more than a sigh. “The end is now.” And she turned her head to the window, where the sun was just rising over the cusp of the world, and died.

☾ ♛Young Lady♛ ☽

How strange. I always thought my life would be just that dreary and lonely room. Or that I will be far from love. I never thought I would attract attention. Just like my elder brother said, I didn't have much except my beauty. Maybe that's why he didn't see me as a threat, and that's why I was banished to that stinking tower. ✦͙͙͙*͙*❥⃝∗⁎.ʚɞ.⁎∗❥⃝**͙✦͙͙͙ Maybe they didn't care about me because I was useless. Or because I'm different from them. Whatever the reason, they had already deleted me. They deprived me of both emotion and need, and I was treated as if I wasn't a "Fónce". If you ask if it hurts, well, everything hurts. ✦͙͙͙*͙*❥⃝∗⁎.ʚɞ.⁎∗❥⃝**͙✦͙͙͙ Now here I am questioning my old life. I walk through the corridors where I used to walk alone and with a bent neck, with 10 Knights behind me. ✦͙͙͙*͙*❥⃝∗⁎.ʚɞ.⁎∗❥⃝**͙✦͙͙͙ The clothes that I couldn't wear before, besides the clothes I have with me, worthless pieces of fabric are just that. ✦͙͙͙*͙*❥⃝∗⁎.ʚɞ.⁎∗❥⃝**͙✦͙͙͙ And the Duke I was so afraid of is just a pawn to me. The Duke's "wonderful, talented" son is just too much for me. The people I used to bow my head to are now kneeling before me. ✦͙͙͙*͙*❥⃝∗⁎.ʚɞ.⁎∗❥⃝**͙✦͙͙͙ "Please don't destroy us." ✦͙͙͙*͙*❥⃝∗⁎.ʚɞ.⁎∗❥⃝**͙✦͙͙͙ Well... I guess going back to the past isn't so bad after all? The story of an evil woman who devastates a whole Duchy and destroys an abominable Kingdom.
