Three days later...

It had been three days since Aiden discovered what his new life was about, and it was worse than his former life. At least in the last one, his task was to arouse lust in people, but this was totally different—it's evil and will contribute to all manners of evil.

He had been under the covers, with no aim of standing up to get something to eat. If the world purge doesn't kill him, hunger certainly will.

The door to his room creaked open. Juliana peeped her head through the small open space and sighed before retreating.

"He's still under the covers. What could be wrong with him? Is the new world that hard to accept?" Juliana wondered aloud.

"I'm not sure, maybe he's just confused. The new world is certainly better; we are equipped with more power and can do things we couldn't do before. I got the life-saving system, and you have the happiness-deriving system. You just need to make people happy, and that's all," Mark said, trying to calm his wife with a reassuring tap on her shoulder.

"Should we go in and talk to him? If we do nothing, he'll die this way," Juliana suggested, peeking through the space again.

"We should," Mark affirmed, and they opened the door properly.

Juliana moved to the bed and sat very close to Aiden. As she tried to place her hand on his head, he moved away from her.

"Don't touch me," he said harshly. "How can you live in this world while having that?"

"What do you mean? Having what? Why is it so hard for you to accept? It's been three days. Do you want to die?" Juliana burst out, almost crying.

"It's better I die than cause more harm to people," Aiden said, still under the covers. He didn't understand how they managed to accept everything. Didn't they know what their son was? Didn't they see his demon form?

[System: Well…they didn't. They don't know you are going to cause evil.]

The system's words dissolved his initial notion about them being wicked. But it didn't manage to ease his resistance to accepting the world; it only managed to get him to raise his head from the covers.

"I'm a fucking demon!" he shouted, clearing his mind of what had been bothering him.

Time froze as he said those words. It was like he only said it to himself and no one else.

"Darling…what did you say?" Time resumed, and Juliana asked, seeing that her son wanted to tell her something but didn't.

"Nothing…" Aiden's words were strained as he heard the system announcement.

[System: As an evil generator, you can't reveal yourself to the prey of this world. Your aim is to live with them undercover while causing evil for the greater good of the world.]

"Pfft…" Aiden scoffed.

Time froze again as he said, "What bullshit? What's the meaning of causing evil for the greater good? What exactly is evil? And what is good? Do they correlate?"

[HOST: You cannot demean my creators' ways. The world needs to be balanced and cannot only be white; there must be black. Just like poor and rich, young and old, kind and wicked. You need to understand that equal opposites are needed.]

"Still bullshit. Tell me how this evil of a thing has caused a greater good before. Also, how many people have this system of mine, and how many people are evil in this country?"

[System: In this country, there are three species of people: the prey, the predator, and the null. The null are normal humans, the prey are the good generators, while the predators are the evil generators. The ratio is 6:2:3. Predators make up only 2 percent of the world. A country will have at least one predator.]

"So, in my school—I mean my body owner's school—there are only a few predators, and the same for my country? And the level of evil which the predator will generate is different, just like my previous self which was a lust system, right?" Aiden asked, finally piecing everything together.

[System: Yes, host. You finally understand my rules. So, one of the rules is don't reveal yourself willingly to a prey. If you do, you have to kill the prey.]

"Wow…that's harsh. If I did, I would have to kill her," he muttered as he watched the time-frozen people.

"Care to unfreeze them now?" he said, motioning at his parents. New parents.

As time went back to normal, Juliana asked, "Darling, I'm not sure what's happening, but…are you okay? Talk to me, please."

Aiden forced a reassuring smile, his eyes locking onto his parents. "I'll be fine, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to me."

"Thank you, son," Juliana said before excusing herself and Mark to let him do his stuff.

After they left, Aiden instructed the system to show him his task bar, which displayed:

[Daily Tasks (Accumulated 21 days)_

1. Cause a minor argument between two people (Reward: 50 EXP, 500 Credits)

2. Make a person trip and fall (Reward: 50 EXP, 500 Credits)

3. Feed in your demonic form. (Reward: 50 EXP, 500 Credits.)

….

(19 more daily tasks)

_Monthly Task (Pending, 6 days to complete)_

Request bail for a criminal in prison, jailed for murder using your influential social status. Then, recruit them as your ally. (Reward: 500 EXP, 1000 credits) First monthly task completion reward: Life renewal potion]

"This is crazy because there's no way I can use my influence to break a prisoner out of prison. A prisoner committed murder. It will spoil my name, and also my parents will have an idea of my abilities and goals!"

[System: It's left to you to decide how to go about it. But note, the criminal must be released on bail, and social status means more than those of your parents.]

"What are the EXP and credits for?"

[System: EXP is for leveling up as a demon, which will help unlock certain skills, while credits are for buying rare items or needed items from the inventory.]

"Oh…I have only 6 days to do that, and today's Saturday, meaning I have to wait till Monday, which will give me just 5 days left to complete the monthly task since I can't do this when I'm at home," Aiden muttered with his hand on his chin.

With the way he was looking at it, he might use the help of his friends or that of the mafia world if they don't think he was already dead after 21 days since the world purge.

"Also, what is wrong with the daily tasks? I can't see them all." Aiden said as he tried to swipe up the hologram screen, checking to see if he could see more tasks.

[System: Yes, you can't. Because you were unconscious and didn't just deliberately leave the tasks, it has been excluded, and you only need to do today and the two days you've spent doing nothing.]

"So I have three tasks to do today. Wow! Let's get to work then, I'll surely make good use of this life. It's a gift," he muttered as he rushed into the bathroom.
