Chapter 2 - They Dead, Definitely Dead

"Okay, let me have a seat for a minute or several." I said as I sat on a really comfy seat. I leaned back and sighed, I took off the sat on my head and set it on my lap. Let's go through what could have happened.

I don't think I died, I was just walking through the halls in school then, BOOM! I'm here in the body of Douma. Well, I look like Douma but very young. The room looked like the one he was in when in his cult thingy thing. Did I just transmigrate out of freaking nowhere?

[Yes]

Huh. Oh, shit. Is that a system?

[Yes]

I leaned even further back into the seat fiddling with my fingers and swinging my feet. I felt so freaking tiny. I wasn't the tallest when I was on Earth but now I felt so small. Did I die?

[No]

Then who did I end up here?

[Zero clue. I'm just a system here to answer questions and manage the system functions]

Oh, so you are not sentient.

[Correct]

I see. So I just appeared in this menace's body abruptly with a system. That's definitely odd. I wonder what I should do, I'm probably just going to do my own thing. I was about to sit up but then it hit me.

I can't feel any emotions. Well, I guess that was bound to happen. Douma never felt any emotions until after he died, and I'm in his body so it makes sense. Even on Earth emotions were never really my thing, I would just push them deep down and leave them there.

I looked around the very lavish room and hummed. I was about to get up but the shoji panels towards the side of the room slide open. I saw a man with black hair and brown eyes. I don't recognize him, but that makes sense. We only ever saw like five important people from this time in the story.

The man said "Douma-sama, your dinner will be brought to you shortly. Do you need anything?" I hummed and sat up. He seemed to avoid my gaze entirely, he just stood there looking at the floor with his hands behind his back. I was kind of wondering how far these people would go for me to do stuff.

"Yes, can get some tea. I don't care what type." I said.

"Of course, Douma-sama. It'll be with you shortly." He bowed his head and step back closing the panels. I looked at the hat on my lap and snickered. Of course, I was faking. Where was I? Oh yes, can I see my status?

[No]

Huh? Why?

[You need to unlock it. You need to work for the system at least]

I groaned and sighed. Whatever, I had time. That was one thing I had lots of. Can I at least see what I need to do to unlock it?

[Yes]

[Unlock the system functions! This quest has four parts:

-Become an Upper Moon of the 12 Kizuki.

-Kill 10 Hashiras by yourself.

-Learn and master three breathing styles (0/3).

-Feel emotions, even if just for a second.

Reward- System Unlocked]

I looked over the requirements and frown a bit. I obviously needed to become a demon but I was going to do that anyway. The only one I will have trouble with is the last one. In the story, Douma only started to feel emotions after fucking dying. I don't care if I die but I also don't really want to.

Should I wait until the plot starts for that? That's the only way I can think of, unless I find someone or something that could trigger it. I should probably look for someone to help trigger it, I'm not in the mood to wait over a hundred years. I don't exactly know if Shinobu awakened Douma's emotions or if it was because he was already dead.

I'll see about this later. I looked toward the panels and saw a woman walk in, she bowed her head and rest a tray in front of me. The lady left the room and I took the tea on the tray. It tasted pretty good to me, it wasn't too hot and not too cold.

I got up and looked around the room. I really was small. I was about to turn to leave when a man ran into the room. I just walked over to my seat and sat in it. The man looked around frantically shaking.

"Douma, my son. You have to he..." He froze when a woman ran with a knife. She tackled the man to the ground climbing onto him. I watched as she took the knife raising it into the air. The man shouted out but I just sat back and looked toward the panels that were closed.

I wonder if anyone can hear this. It s not like the doors or panels are that big. And from what I know there should be people everywhere. Looking back to the other two people in the room. The woman brought down the knife stabbing the man in his chest. He screamed but was shut when she stabbed him again, and again, and again.

Waw. She is really just going for it. What did he do to piss her off this much? I took my tea and drank it. I'm pretty sure after the tenth stab he was dead, if not dead then he would for sure die from blood loss. She must have really been pissed... because she's still going!

God finally! She stopped. I took a sip of my tea wanting to see what she will do next. If she attacks me I'll just run and call some people for help. I'm still a small child after all, I can't overpower some crazy bitch with a knife. And there's no way I'm going out like that, I want to die destroying a plant or some unrealistic shit.

The woman threw the knife to the side and took out a small glass jar and drank it. She stood up covered in blood, her legs wiggled and she fell onto the floor going completely still. I looked around and there were blood splatters everywhere, all over the walls and floor.

The blood started to settle filling the room with the putrid scent. I got up and looked down at the empty put in my hand. "Well, that was eventful." I said. I walk to the back of my seat and took a small wooden stick I found. I walked back to the bodies and pocked the man. Nothing. Definitely dead.

What?

I had to make sure. There are people who get stabbed through the fucking chest and still even up coming out alive. You always gotta double tap when dealing with people from this place. I walked over to the whole and smacked her with the stick. Nothing.

What?!!!

Equal rights, equal fights! I'll throw hands with anyone, no matter the gender. My gaze shifted to the woman and saw her hand twitch, then I raised the stick and hit her several times. I actually didn't mean to, it was just a reflex. Honestly, I swear to God. Okay, I don't believe in God but the point still stands.

I relaxed and walked over to the panels. "She made such a mess for no reason." He threw the stick over my head and opened the panels. Looking around I saw no one, so I shouted "Hello!"

It didn't take long for someone to come running, literally. They stopped in front of me and lowered their head "You call, Douma-sama."

"Yeah, I did. Clean this up for me before the smell gets worse." I pointed to the bloody mess behind me. The man's face shifted to horror and disgust. He recognized that they were many parents and was stumped.

My mind start to race to think of something, so I decided to test his so-called faith "My father was a sinner and our grate lord and saver told my mother to kill him and then kill herself because she married such a sinful person. I shall work and help those of the cult to repent for my parents' sinners."

The man's face changed so fast and he bowed deeply to me "I shall take care of it by sunset, Douma-sama!" I nodded and walked away.

SHIT!!! Did that actually work! ai just said some random fucking bullshit that came to find. I never went to church, I don't know how to do this stuff. I really can believe that worked still. Is he that dumb and blinded by faith or am I just that good? I'm going with the second one to make myself feel cool. Well, I can't feel much but that ain't the damn point.
