Everyone Else Has a System

"What did you just say?" the guy in front asked with his eyes observing me with a serious expression and I sighed before ordering them,

"Stand in front of me and make a line!"

Using Charm Magic, I looked around and everyone, against their wishes, stood in front of me without wasting any time.

"What… What is going on here?" The leader spoke while the others were confused as to why their bodies were moving against their will.

I charmed them so that their bodies follow my command while letting them have their ability to speak freely and express their emotions.

I yawned a little and stretched as I stood in front of them and began counting the total number.

"8 people, huh? I believe there should be more of you who are not here?" I asked, looking at the person who was facing me directly.

He tried controlling himself and not speaking anything, however,"there are about 157 of us scattered all around the Middle Circle."

"What are you doing bastard??!!!" The leader guy was scared to his wits as he looked at his underling, revealing information about them.

"I.. I can't control my words… they are coming out on their own… boss… who is he? Boss who the FUCK IS HE?!!!" That man who just revealed their number was scared shitless as he stood there staring at me.

"I… I… Don't know… I was just…" the leader tried speaking, and I said,"you were just?"

I just asked casually with my Charm Magic on and he spoke out,"I was ordered to do so. I was told that it will be an easy job and I just need to make you submit to me before breaking you down both mentally and physically. Then, we were to send you to higher ups where they would make use of you." "Who are your higher ups?" I asked, but he shook his head and spoke,"I was not told any of that. Unless you are promoted, you aren't allowed to have any information on the higher ups."

I then looked at everyone present there and I sighed before asking,"what is the name of your syndicate?" and the men spoke in unison,

"The Damned Ones."

'Them, huh? Well, I guess they would be interested in someone like Aidan, who has extreme knowledge about most of the monsters. Well, then I guess there aren't just 157 but must be around 500 or something spread out… and that's just the lower echelon,' I thought as I recalled some bitter memories.

How do I know about the Damned Ones? Well, of course, I was the one who ruled over them later after the First Cataclysm till the later end of it before they were all killed at my own hands… the entire organisation.

The current Kings must be Molotov, Incendiary, Stun and Black Knife. If I remember correctly, they really had their names based on weapons… I mean, I got my name Reaper because of that as well.

'I wonder if I can use them in any way,' I thought before pondering over it a little… They were all psychopaths in their own way and keeping them under their toes and expecting something to go smoothly would be the most naive thing to expect.

"But their skills aren't something to scoff at either," I muttered before I sighed before I turned at those men.

'If these men failed their mission, they would be killed and honestly, I don't want to waste my time when I have other things planned,' I thought before asking,

"How many of you have killed people who were innocent?"

All of them raised their hands in unison and then I asked,"Sure, one by one tell me what you did, why you did and also, of course, your worst nightmare."

Following which, I created a soundproof barrier using an artefact that I created in my free time. The first one moved forward and began describing his crimes,

"I have killed 12 people in total. 7 Average men, 5 women whom I r*ped before killing and 2 children. My worst nightmare is burning in lava."

I nodded at him before looking at him and then using my Charm Magic to make him believe that he is surrounded by scorching hot lava all around… as for the pain,"Fire of the Ash Phoenix,"

-AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! I wasn't just burning him… I was burning him at the worst point of his body possible. Since he had killed 12 people and I don't have much time, let's keep his punishment for 12 minutes… for me, that is.

For him, each second must feel like about an hour, so… now, onto next.

"I killed 23 people… r*ped 23 women… my worst nightmare is suffocating to death," he said, and I fulfilled his wishes. For the next 23 minutes, he will suffocate for the first 30 seconds and then die before coming back to life and then dying again and coming back to life again…

Next…

Next…

Next…

And then came the leader, who watched all that happened in here with a horror-stricken face. He knew what was going to happen to him, and he even tried to kill himself, but he couldn't possibly win against my Charm Magic, can he now?

"I killed 124 people-"

"I don't want to hear all that… that will be for later. For now, I need you to do a couple of things for me… Call your superior and say that all your men were killed by the Reaper. Reaper is protecting Aidan Williamson, and he has issued a warning to anyone who comes close to Aidan with malicious intent will be mercilessly killed in the worst way possible. Take these men with you there, after they die, and show them the proof.

Once that is done, you will die the same way they died. You can do that much, can't you?"

I spoke, and he nodded expressionlessly before he sat on the floor and waited for his men to die and I pondered a little before vanishing from there.

"I guess I should make some time to meet the old Kings," I mumbled as I moved back to my dorm.
