Even so, if he really was unfeeling, then how can he express such vivid emotion?

That is what the system asked itself when it first saw his host's true face. And soon, did he get the answer. The host wasn't truly without emotion, it was just too faint. Too faint to be even called one, his emotion can barely be called a fleeting urge. An urge to destroy, an urge to turn everything into smithereens.

He has a heart, yet it was broken. And when he puts it into it's rightful place, he will have urges. Though since it was too faint, he doesn't bother anymore and just seals it away. Nevertheless, on the first world, he wore his heart, and someone managed to crawl in. A baby, a son of heaven that he took care of and nurtured.

It was at that time that he first learned about something called emotions. And in that way, his heart was slowly pieced together. He felt different varieties of emotions, sometimes he would feel down, sometimes elated, and he would also feel his urge to destroy growing stronger at times. This way, he slowly learned how to have a bit of compassion and morality.

And it was also at that way he learned how to lie even more deeply. He learned how to manipulate people like puppets on a string, making everyone play to his own desires. He had fun, he learned a lot of things including how feel and express himself.

It was also the way that he gained a weakness. A weakness to the child he took care of. In the end, he died, and child who grew to be powerful a man survived. When he came back to the space, he learned what it was like to feel anguished. He felt boundless pain and anger as to why he ended up dead in the first world.

But he soon suppressed it, and travelled to the next world with a heavy heart. In the second world, he felt something called love. And he fell for a man he later knew as the incarnation of the child from the first world. Later on, the child followed him from world to world and Lu Shen slowly let go the urge to destroy.

As for the darkness, possessiveness and his urge to manipulate, it never went away. Those traits were already engraved to his soul and it will never part. So after repeated attempts of trying to seal away his dark intentions, he finally ceased trying and let his dark traits engulf him. Because every time he tried to suppress, it only grows stronger.

His love was possessive, dark and manipulative, but also sincere. His love is true, and it's all that matters.

The young man with silver hair was near the door, he didn't dare go further inside at all. Cold sweat drenched his back and he was slightly trembling. He was gripping the hem of his shirt while looking at Lu Shen's heaven-defying handsome face.

"My, My~ Dear system 009, what are you here for?" Lu Shen spoke, his deep voice having a hint of amusement on them.

The young man, System 009, flinched when he heard Lu Shen's deep voice. 009 froze in place, with trembling lips and a shaky voice, he spoke [Th-the f-fifth world is r-ready, would host like t-to initiate t-transfer now?]

Lu Shen's smile grew wider, but instead of his smile looking warm, it only turned horrifying in System 009's eyes.

"Well? Please do."

System 009 gulped, taking a deep breath, he calmed himself.

[Affirmative.]

With that simple reply, the void distorted and the two figures vanished from the room.
