Everyone Else Has a System-Chapter 27 Planet Vermillion

Planet Vermillion, before the first Cataclysm, was a beautiful planet. With the wide variety of mountains, forests, valleys, plains and other natural features, it had many aspiring and wonderful places where you could venture to.

Geographically and politically, there were 2 massive islands or continents, which were more or less half moon shaped and were divided from the middle. Legends say that the two lands were once joined, and that they were cut into two by a super strong person or perhaps by God himself.

Not diving much into myths and all, the two continents were named as Western and Eastern Continents with each holding 7 and 5 countries, respectively.

Zero was currently in the western part of the Eastern Continent. Among the 5 countries of Eastern Continent, Zero lived in Arcadia and his exact current location was the city of Bryxton, one of the most financially advanced cities among all of Eastern Countries.

...….

After walking for another couple of hours or so, Zero finally reaches the Record Keepers' Department. By the time he reached there, night had already fallen and the lights all around the city lit it up enhancing the magnificence of Bryxton's night view.

In front of Zero was the Record Keepers' Department's building. Rather than a single building, it was more of a composite building made up of 7 buildings aligned in a star shape.

Zero began walking again, this time activating his shadow arts and getting mixed in with the crowd. After another 30 minutes of running, he finally reached the other side of the Department's building and a market filled with all types of people came into his view.

There were a variety of goods available there and if you know your way around the market and have what the seller needs, perhaps you can even find a diamond hidden in this market.

Though, that being said, if you have no idea on how things really work in this market, then you will be both scammed and looted simultaneously in the blink of an eye.

Zero entered the market, with his shadow arts still on, and kept moving through it in a particular direction. After a few minutes, he came across a small alleyway where a few men were smoking. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

Entering into the valley, he undid his shadow arts and moved towards the men step by step. The men, hearing the sound of his steps, looked at him with a cautious look before signing to each other as one of them spoke,"Hey kid, did you lose your way? The exit is on the other side?"

Zero didn't stop walking and answered them with a smile,"Ah! No! I haven't lost my way. I just heard about this place from a certain someone and he said that I could find what I want as long as I meet certain conditions."

The men looked at each other for a few moments before one of them spoke,"Let me handle this." to his friends and stood up before coming towards Zero.

He looked at Zero for a few moments before speaking,"[System Check]" and waited for a few moments.

Zero simply kept smiling at that man's face and that man, a bit confused, once again spoke,"[System Check]." This time, his expression changed from confusion to doubt as he looked at Zero again. For some reason, he took a step back and then once again checked for his system a couple of times. However, even still, he failed to detect one.

"What are you?" that man spoke as he took out a gun and pointed at Zero and Zero's face became 'horrified' as he spoke,"Hey! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! My system had been locked by my father so that no one could see it. No one but him and I can see it. I hope you can understand that I have my own situation."

Watching the scared and cautious face of Zero, the man lowered his gun a bit. He still had his doubts about Zero's words, but there was little he could do about it. So instead of focusing on the system, he moved to another topic.

"Who sent you here kid?" He asked as he looked at Zero with a fixed gaze. He had a really cautious expression with his eyes piercing Zero's body.

"I can't tell you about him, but he said that if I can give you what you guys want, I will get what I want," Zero repeated the sentence and the man then sighed before speaking,"all right. Wait here and I will be back in a moment."

The man stepped inside a certain gate at a distance and after another 10 minutes or so, two men came along with that man.

Without any greetings, both of them simultaneously spoke,"[System Check]" and after not finding any response, they looked at Zero as if they found an alien.

"Excuse me?" Zero looked at them with a 'confused' expression as he 'couldn't understand what was going on'.

One of the new men spoke,"what is it that you want?" in a curious tone as he looked at Zero with his eyes piercing more and more as the time passed. The other man was still checking for Zero's system.

'Hmmmm… do they want to die?' getting annoyed at their behaviour, Zero couldn't help but think about changing his plans a bit. However, he shook his head before speaking.

"I want another identity."

At his words, the others looked at him with a slightly understanding face. It wasn't common for people to get another identity for special purposes. In fact, it would be rare for people to not have another identity.

"All right. So I suppose you have the minimum amount of what it requires forging a fake identity?" one of them spoke as he smiled at Zero, who was nodding, before once again the man began checking for Zero's system.

"Tch. At least hide it when you are checking for it. I feel like an animal at some zoo…" Annoyed at them, Zero couldn't help but look around and speak in a hushed voice.

"..." the others looked at his slightly pouting face and then…

"Pfftttt hahahahaha… all right, all right, we will stop, kid. Let's go inside and get you your new identity," the man stopped laughing but with a smile he spoke as he began moving inside.

Zero looked at him for a few moments before shaking his head as he thought with a tired face,'And try to hide your greed too while you are at it. I won't be able to hold back much longer from killing you if you can't even hide your thoughts…'
