I looked through all the notification history of the system and groaned in frustration.
It had been a week since I came to this world, and it had been tough.
One moment, I was at home on my sofa watching some horror movie, and suddenly I was floating in space.
I was so confused and afraid that I didn't even hear the system's voice. Then I lost consciousness for some reason, and when I opened my eyes, I woke up in an unknown place.
It took me a while to realize what had happened. It was hard to accept reality, but now I am calm—at least trying to be—until I saw the mirror.
Long black hair and dark eyes. A well-sculpted, handsome face with a cross tattoo on my forehead and both hands.
I looked exactly like Chrollo from Hunter × Hunter.

Now, coming back to the present.
I was sipping some coffee early in the morning at my small little hut in the backyard of the church.
The concrete was well painted, but there were cracks on the ceiling. The house was small and cozy. It had everything needed—a TV, refrigerator, a whole shelf of holy scriptures, and demonology books.
So yeah, life was going well.
But I knew that it wouldn't last for long.
This place was located in Black Stone Hill. It didn't have any notable evil forces, but the surroundings were a different story.
A few kilometers from here was the town of Derry, where a lurking clown of evil lives off fear for breakfast.
To the north was a dense forest, perfect for camping, with a beautiful lake—also known as Crystal Camp Lake—where a certain immortal guy just loves to kill.
(Image)
Further down was the Nicolet National Forest, where a slender guy helps lost kids.
(Image)
On the east side, which was much calmer, the area was under the protection of the Warren family—until it wasn't.
(Image)
The western side had many incidents of possession, like it was for sale or something.
To the south was an eerie road where lots of locals held rituals.
Also, have I mentioned that the area I live in has a big-ass house where kids love to disappear?
And not far from here is a well—a normal well—where a homeless girl lives and likes the concept of rings a little too much.
(Image)
And this isn't all. The whole region—no, the whole world—is filled with such forces lurking every few kilometers.
So yeah, system. We're fucking finished.
[Don't worry, host. All is well when God is here.]
"Really? Where?"
[Here.....😏]
"System, enough with the jokes. The Lord will get angry."
[Initiating shockwave in 1...2—]
"W-wait, sorry, sorry, sorry! I was just joking, system. You're God, alright—
you're the greatest~"
[Humph~ stupid host]
