The Rogue System [BL]
Chapter 141 - Mini me?

Chapter 141: Chapter 141 - Mini me?

Zhu Kang softly groaned. His body started to tremble, violently. His limbs became exceptionally cold. It felt like he was floating around in the cold ocean floors.

He hurriedly hugged his bent knees and rolled up like a small shrimp. ’Why is it so cold....’ He opened his eyes.

He was in a cold dark place. A few bubbles floated around him. As he moved down, a few fishes darted past his shoulder touching his skin.

’Um... why am I underwater? Wasn’t I sleeping in Ruth’s place? Why did it turn into some fantasy realm.’

He tried his best to move his arms and legs but they wouldn’t comply. Like a rock, he sunk to the bottom. He hit the rocky floor of the ocean.

’did he just chuck me into the ocean... god that sucks...’ Sighing Zhu Kang stood up with difficulty.

As soon as his foot touched the small pebbles, they all started to light up.

Eyes wide open he watched the entire ocean floor light up like a Christmas decoration. They were glistening and gleaming like beautiful stars.

’w-what si this? system, where actually am I?’

There was no answer to his question. That annoying beeps were absent. Only the subtle sound of small bubbles popping in his ears was heard.

"Fuck, that system is my death star... I swear...’ he kicked one of the pebbles by his foot.

The glowing rock rolled away, hitting another glowing pebble. This one emitted a much brighter light than the others.

"Eh?" he picked it up. it was cooling to touch but it felt like it had protrusions that felt like scales. "Can I sell them? are they worth anything..."

The glowing rock suddenly turned into a dark vortex pulling him in.

"Wait what the..." before he could finish his sentence, he was sucked into it.

the innocent pebble floated down to the ocean floor joining the other glowing pebbles.

*****

Zhu Kang woke up with a start. Panting loudly, he touched his body and his face. ’oh, thank the gods, its intact... shit what the hell was that...’

Only after confirming that he was okay then he started to explore the place he was in. it was a very very small room?

He can’t even call this a room it was mostly a storage closet. But there was a dirty mattress in the corner.

’Ruth, Ruth, Ruth... you said you loved me but you tossed me into such a place. Love can be blinding...’ he moved to bed to lay down.

A small bump on the bed stopped him.

’huh?’

The mattress was not covered in a bed sheet or anything but there was a bump on the middle.

A loud banging sound came from his side. Eyes wide open he snapped his head in that direction to see a dark figure standing there with a huge cane. "Wake up! it’s training time!"

Zhu Kang sighed out loud. Standing up with difficulty he walked up to that person who was shrouded in the darkness. "Training time? Look here buddy, I know that Ruth sold me to this place but I don’t wish to train..." he reached out to hold his shoulders but his hand went through.

It went through!!

"what......" kang once again tried to touch that man, but his hands kept going though him. "oh fuck.... Oh fuck......"

He felt his whole body cool down instantly.

"I’m....I’m dead...."

"I’m a dead soul... oh shitttt..." he frantically walked around. "This can’t be happening. I can’t just die. I don’t want that. I was only asleep. Ruth is not heart heartened to kill me, right? Did he poison me without releasing it... oh no...." he bit his trembling bottom lips anxiously.

"I said get up!!!" the man walked into the room and hit the mattress with his cane hard.

Zhu Kang flinched. He watched as a small figure crawled out from under the mattress.

the man grabbed the child’s arm. "you slacker! You need to be punished!" he raised up his cane.

"hey, hey... don’t hit the kid! hey!!!" he rushed to him but his body just passed through him like a mist of cold wind.

Trembling, he leaned against the walls. he couldn’t do anything.

He could only watch as the kid get beaten up by that man.

"Get your ass up to the training room! And no dinner for you!" the man laughingly said.

"you bastard! Why did you hit him like that? you! fuck!!!" he threw a punch at him. as expected, his hand went through him. he did not stop though. "I might be a ghost but I will fucking haunt your existence, you bastard! You dare hurt a child! you dare to! I will kill you!! I will kill you and eat your soul!" he screamed.

But though all this, the man simply did not feel it. he just walked out of the dingy room with swagger in his steps.

"I will kill you fucker!" he screamed loudly.

"Bitch," a soft voice startled him.

He watched as the little kid crawl up to his feet. He was bleeding profusely from his nose and his shin. the kid did not seem too bothered about it. He walked up to the door.

"Hey kid... you okay? Don’t worry I’m your ghost friend I will protect you, okay? I bet if I work hard, I can touch humans. I will kick the heck out of him...." his words stopped as he watched the young kid walk into the lit hallway.

The child had dull black hair matted with dust and debris, the poor child’s entire back was riddled with bloody scars.

"fuck. I will kill that man,’ he clenched his fist tightly. "Hang on kid..." he touched his bony shoulders.

The kid’s head snapped back.

Zhu Kang froze. he could definitely recognize that face anywhere from the crowd.

Why? Because he looked like the exact mini version of his own body.

Or should he call it Zhu Kang’s body.

"This is trippy...... so trippy. I’ve heard there are at least seven people who look similar to me. didn’t realize I will be haunting my mini-me,"

The little kid walked through the dirty hallway. Just like his room, there were small closet-sized doors all over in the hallway. All of them were opened and empty.

"Where are you going kid. wait a bit I’ll come along," he caught up with him. the young kid was limping ever so slightly. "You need to get that leg checked out."

Even though he knew the kid could not hear him he still wanted to say his piece.

The young child walked into a huge arena of some sorts. The ground was covered in rusty brown stuff.

It was blood.

"Zhu Kang!"

He snapped his head up. "Someone can see me?"

"get up here," a man covered in scars glanced down at him with a subtle frown

"Me? why must I get up there? I’m not going to..." he backed away.

To his surprise, the young kid stepped up and walked up to the arena.

"hey... why are you..."

"Zhu Kang vs Illois! Fight!"

Eyes wide open, he watched as the kids fight for their lives. The young kid he met was losing. He was already riddled with scars and but at the end of the bout, his whole body was covered in cuts and bloody wounds.

Even now, Zhu Kang couldn’t comprehend it.

"Illois wins! Zhu Kang... today you have to visit the punishment room."

The young child nodded and walked down from there.

Stunned, he watched him. he watched the kid approach hm. "hey... are you also called Zhu Kang? we share the same name, huh? It’s a coincidence..."

"You wait right there!"

The child froze.

"To survive in the snakehead organization, you need to learn to land a cruel attack. You are powerful. Use your powers."

"Yes," the young child nodded, but his hand that was behind his back was trembling violently.

Zhu Kang was stunned as well by the new discovery. This place was the snakehead gang... and

’Wait don’t tell me... this kid..."

Zhu Kang faced him with empty cold eyes.

"This is the real Zhu Kang!!!!"

He dazedly followed the kid. "Is this a dream or is this what happened in the past... wait I need to check on it. he hurriedly searched around for clues. In one room, he found a calendar. As he had suspected the year was thirteen years ago.

He stumbled down in shock. "so, I’m not a ghost... I’m just peering into the real Zhu Kang’s past. That just makes it ten times worse"

He followed the kid around for a few more hours. He watched how torturous the training was. His young body could not hold on.

The young Zhu Kang collapsed many times. But he was kicked awake and made to train again and again.

Watching all this, Zhu Kang felt his whole-body chill down. "These kinds of tortures.... He lived through so much..." he closed his eyes. He was unable to watch any longer.

He had thought that his time in the system space was torturous... but this was worse...

It was way worse.

"I don’t want him to suffer like this."
