How To Beat the System

ｉｎｔｅｎｔ

   It was around midnight when Wisteria woke up with a pained scream, writhing in her sheets as she tumbled and tossed on her sides. The human curled up into a ball before extending her limbs again and cried out, gasping for air before the feeling of her hair getting ripped out happened.

Then the girl clutched her right eye and screamed so loud that the servants rushed into her room, witnessing the beauty desperately throwing off the covers and fall to the ground. They panicked and rushed to help her, but the girl pushed them away and fell to the ground, carelessly scratching her arms.

Bursting into hysteric sobbing, Wisteria felt that her arms and legs were being torn off and her headache turned even more severe. It was like someone cracked her skull open.

"Miss? Mistress!" Eden quickly called out to her host before detecting a tremendous amount of dark magic leaking out from her.

But the darkness didn't exactly come from her host, it was something else.

Wisteria screeched, "Eden!"

As Wis kept on groaning in pain, several healers ran inside of her bed chamber and surrounded the girl with powerful magic. They began to chant in a language that she couldn't decipher and helplessly had to endure the pain.

This procedure lasted for more than two hours. By the time they were done and Wisteria finally couldn't feel the pain anymore, it was morning and the human was a wreck. Her voice was strained from all the crying and yelling, her eyes were red, and her body was limp. Her muscles were sore and the stinging sensation didn't leave yet. The healers and servants also looked exhausted, too.

The servants carefully helped the girl up to go take a bath. When they bathed her, the healers rushed inside of the temple and immediately reported the incident.

When it reached to God Deimos, Wisteria was lying down on her freshly made bed and couldn't stop crying. She didn't bother to eat breakfast. All of her servants were castes out and waited patiently until the girl called out for them to enter.

Wisteria tried speaking to her system, but her voice cracked and regretted it. So she silently asked Eden what had happened to Matteus.

"Matteus has been captured by God Septimus and was tortured. Everything he went through, you did as well. Not physically." Wisteria sobbed even more at the thought of her demon's horns and eye getting ripped off. She continued to wail for the demon before hearing that God Deimos was entering her chambers.

When I get back I swear I will punch Septimus so hard that I will knock him into next month! Wisteria furiously thought.

Wisteria shut herself up and got up, but the attempt didn't work and so she fell once more to her knees and bit the cry. As her hands were played weakly against the floor, she noticed her whole body shaking.

Although the agony had passed away, she felt a jolt of numbness erupting and a pinching sensation. To say that she was weak was an understatement. Wisteria has begun to cry again, already forgetting the god who she had to greet.

Hearing the muffled sobs, Deimos entered her chambers with a grim face and saw her on the floor with tears dropping quickly. Wisteria still hadn't noticed the man. Instead of feeling angry at the human, Deimos walked over to her and carefully touched her bare arm. The blonde abruptly yanked herself away from him and crawled back against the bed, hiccuping.

"L-Lord Dei-"

"Stupid, human. There isn't a need for a greeting." He sneered. "Come here." Extending his hand, Wisteria looked at it for a minute before shakily taking it. When she did nothing happened, but when a dark scowl appeared on his face, she thought that she might have done something wrong. When she went to pull away, the god kept a tight grip on her wrist and silently contemplated.
