Chapter 8: Situation Bends People’s Morality

[Host, Hero, and Villain are just two sides of the same coin. If I am correct, you are referring to those movies you watched, right?]

[Chosen One doesn’t have to be a villain. You don’t have to kill a good person to become the Evil God.]

[But the Evil God will kill people. So, the choice is still yours. My job is to improve your strength and guide you to become the Ultimate Evil God.]

Levi shook his head and said.

"You are just contradicting yourself. Evil God will kill people; that means he will kill good people. You are just telling me to become an Evil God."

There was a small silence before the system replied.

[Host, I noticed you have not absorbed the memories stored in the System’s Mail. Would you like to absorb them?]

Levi’s expression drastically changed.

Was it forcing him to become an Evil God? Just when he thought he could use this system to become stronger, he was given such a bad option.

If he absorbed those memories, wouldn’t he turn into an evil person?

Would he attack his parents? Would he kill his friends? Although none of that happened, he couldn’t help but feel terrified at the thought of that.

[Host, I am sensing a strong disturbance in your mind concerning those memories. Would you like to delete the memories from the system mail?]

Hearing that, Levi paused, and his eyes lit up.

"Wait, I can delete those memories? You won’t force it into me?"

[Host, I am an artificial intelligence created to guide you, but I can not force you to do anything. If those memories are repulsive to you, I can delete them.]

Levi paused and asked.

"So, can I delete those memories right now?"

He didn’t want to inherit any kind of memories. He didn’t know who this god was, but he certainly could influence a sixteen-year-old kid.

Sera had given him a good education, especially for his protection since he lived in a world full of martial artists.

At this moment, the panel opened the main box where there was a folder.

[Levi’s Memories]

[Accept] [Delete]

When he saw that, his eyes narrowed.

He never thought the name of the Evil God would be Levi as well. No wonder he was chosen.

After all, he didn’t have any bad thoughts, and he was raised to be a good person and fight for humanity.

He would never become an Evil God.

But something irked his mind.

"System, if this is a memory for me to inherit, why is there a delete option?"

Levi asked.

[Host, the creator only provided me with a lot of resources that the creator had gathered throughout the creator’s life]

[I was born from the command of the creator and the leaf of the Divine Tree of the Universe.]

[The creator thought making this system similar to the games would help you utilize it better, so the creator gave me that instruction.]

[The creation of the system itself is my job. But due to the lack of energy for modifying the system, I was forced to absorb your blood energy.]

While listening to that, Levi finished his bath and spoke.

"So, the resources exist within the system, but if I want to use those resources, I have to follow the path to become an Evil God?"

[Yes, Host]

"Well, free things are always the most expensive ones."

Suddenly, he lowered his voice and asked.

"So, can you explain something to me? There is an achievement about sexually assaulting women. Is this also a part of an Evil God?"

[Host, the original achievement was to fuck five women and turn them into sex slaves. Based on Host’s mentality, I changed a few things.]

When he heard about that, Levi’s expression drastically changed.

This was worse.

This wasn’t just about sexually assaulting a woman but also announcing that he had sexually assaulted a woman.

[Host, for your reassurance, slavery is rather common in the universe. According to some of the knowledge that the creator bestowed upon me, it is normal for a young man to keep multiple women for sex.]

[Being an Evil God just takes this to another level.]

Levi was speechless.

’I need to ask Dad about this. Is it really that bad in the universe?’

He walked out of his room, wearing new clothes, and went downstairs. It was already morning, but he didn’t feel tired at all.

"So, what’s with this Evil God nonsense all about?"

As soon as he sat down, Morgan asked with a serious tone.

"How did you know?"

Levi almost stood up in shock but then remembered something and sat down.

"I forgot. The more powerful martial artists are, the stronger their hearing and sight become. So, you can hear my voice from here. Were you eavesdropping?"

Morgan clicked his tongue.

"Do you think I would need to eavesdrop on your conversation? It sounded like you were talking to someone, but I couldn’t hear the other voice."

Levi nodded and pointed at his head.

"Hmm! It’s in my head."

"So, what’s the situation?"

Morgan asked.

Levi told him everything. He didn’t want to hide these things from his parents, especially since he knew absolutely nothing about it.

The more Morgan heard that, the more he frowned.

The situation seemed complicated.

On one hand, it was his son’s ticket to the top, but on the other hand, it wasn’t a good route.

Eventually, he couldn’t come up with an answer and said.

"Your mother also heard everything. Maybe she can answer you."

Morgan had complicated thoughts.

Sera didn’t.

After she finished making him a lot of pasta and meatballs, she served them and sat down.

"Actually, it’s very easy to understand. You are my son. I know what kind of person you are."

"In fact, if I wasn’t worried about that thing controlling you directly, I wouldn’t have thought much about it."

"We can’t confirm anything, but at least it is on your side, and it is not trying to control you."

"Do what you want to do, do it boldly! You don’t have to worry about anything."

Hearing that, Levi felt a lot of the burden fall off his shoulders.

"Yes, Mom!"

He clicked on the mail and deleted that memory box.

"About the universe, we don’t know much. The Dimensional War doesn’t happen between dimensions."

"It’s just a fancy way of saying war between different planets. Currently, there are three stations."

"The first one is on the Moon, the second one is on Mars, and the third one is in a completely different solar system."

"The universe is still a mystery to many of us. But there is something that might be helpful for you."

Morgan said as he winked at his wife.

Sera rolled her eyes and spoke.

"First of all, polygamy is incorporated into a martial artist’s life. Of course, not exactly Martial Artists and Martial Masters."

"But the Grandmasters are obligated to marry three women if it is a man or marry someone one level higher if it is a woman."

Hearing that, Levi looked at his mother with confusion.

"Isn’t that wrong? Forcing someone to marry others?"

Morgan nodded.

"It’s wrong, but it’s all for survival. As I said before, there are three human stations on the moon, Mars, and another planet."

"From those stations, thousands of people die every month. What’s even worse is that most of them are either Martial Masters or above."

"Most people can barely become a Martial Master. So, imagine dying after reaching your peak. Isn’t that sad?"

"What’s even worse is the resources from universities, and the resources they gathered were poured into their training. All of that was wasted because of one death."

"With so many of them dying like that, are we just going to rely on luck to produce more Martial Masters?"

"Of course not! Nobody wants to rely on luck. So, the federal government released this law."

"A child of a Martial Master is born with level one Blood Energy. A child of a Grandmaster is born with level five Blood Energy."

"A child of a Great Grandmaster is born with level ten Blood Energy. That means a child is almost as strong as a Martial Artist from birth."

"But it’s exactly because of that that those below Grandmaster Level can’t bear their child."

"So, polygamy is not something you should avoid."

Hearing that, Levi felt confused and a bit disturbed.

As far as he understood, love shouldn’t be forced.

Seeing his condition, Sera looked at him with pity and said.

"I know this is a lot to take in, but you shouldn’t think too much. When you become stronger, you will get to meet a lot of people."

"That will include beautiful girls who will definitely win your heart."

Hearing that, Morgan muttered.

"You should feel lucky. With your potential, reaching Grandmaster isn’t a problem."

"Oh, dear! Do you also want to feel lucky?"

Sera gave him a death threat with her eyes and asked.

Her face said it all.

’I can accept multiple daughters-in-law, but I will destroy you if you hook up with another woman.’
