The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 101 Seizing System Permissions
"Welcome back, dear." The doll's voice was the same as always. The few years had passed, but the doll didn't care.

Spiritually, she and Dake were still connected and not separated, just like they were talking on the phone every day.

The first thing Dake saw was that the doll looked the same as before, even its expression hadn't changed much.

"Long time no see! Darling, hehehe." Dak laughed. His state was very strange at this time. The huge glass jar was filled with green liquid and bubbles were constantly generated.

There was a brain floating in the liquid, with a single eye in the middle of the brain, and some blood vessels wrapped around it leading to a beating heart below.

This is the heart and brain that Dak stripped away using secret methods.

"My dear, it seems that it will take some time for your body to recover." Wawa said. The secret method that Dak used this time seemed to cause some problems with his regeneration ability, which was a problem that he had not encountered in previous tests.

It seems to be a problem of physical judgment caused by the secret method. Dak's current physical condition does not seem to be considered as an injury by the body, but rather a reduction in size, and now he needs to grow and develop a new body.

Sure enough, nothing is absolutely invincible. Something that seems perfect may have flaws in unknown details.

However, these anomalies were still within the acceptable range for Dak. The so-called technological research and development was just that, and accidents were inevitable.

"Zizizizi..." Dak seemed to hear a strange sound. Even though he had no ears now, he still heard it.

“?!!” The doll’s originally calm expression suddenly froze, then he closed his eyes, and the curse in his body began to boil.

System upgrade completed.

"Fuck? No way?

Silly dog ​​system, don't start it now!
Can you wait for me?" The world that Dak saw in his one eye turned into a complete mosaic picture, and only the sound of crackling remained.

It seems that because it was recognized that Dak had been "severely hit", the system completed the upgrade and started ahead of schedule.

The mosaic in his eyes quickly disappeared, and Dak came to this unknown place again and saw a figure.

It is an evolved system. Compared with the original vague shadow image, it is now more concrete. There is a dense circuit diagram on the surface of the body, and only the chest part appears sparse.

It should be forced to start, so it was not completely completed.

"Survive", "Protect"...Dak could vaguely feel the intention of this thing. It really existed for him.

However, when the system finally appeared in front of him, what Dak did was... he pierced the system's chest, the weakest point, with a knife.

It was more accurate to say that it integrated into the shadow rather than penetrated it. Dark's arm entered the shadow.

I didn’t react the last time, but now that I’m aware of the system’s existence and can access it, of course I have to seize control.

After all, what makes Dak most uneasy now is that the system cannot control this point - quack! The system is safest when there is danger, and the system is most dangerous when there is no danger.

Dark's thoughts began to infect Shadow's existence and invade the system's interior.

"Error", "protection", "alive"... The system's operating mechanism seems to be stuck, and the power of the system is suppressed by the doll that serves as the shell.

His consciousness seemed to begin to blur and disperse, and Dak had a magical feeling - he was growing and spreading towards somewhere.

It's really mysterious.

……

Dak leaned on the windowsill with his head propped up. It was snowing heavily outside. Stupid system, can you be a little smarter? Otherwise, just give me all the operating permissions!

There was something a little unexpected about the attempt to seize system permissions.

Dak successfully injected his consciousness into the system, but the complexity of the system's operation was completely beyond his comprehension.

Now all I can say is that the connection with the system is stronger. I can understand the system's meaning more clearly, and I can also make the system understand my meaning more clearly. That's all.

The result of this behavior is that Wawa, who had previously helped Dak, has now become further mixed with the system, the boundaries have become blurred, and he could not be brought over.

Or rather, Dak didn't even bring his body with him.

This time of traveling through time is in the form of consciousness possession.

But fortunately, Dak can feel the existence of his original power, the existence of the doll, and the existence of the system.

Fortunately, I didn’t delete the account and reopen it.

The snow piled up thickly on the treetops and then slid down with a loud noise.

It was only then that Dark seemed to come back to his senses from his daze. He stood up and looked into the shadow of the corridor behind him.

There was a hunched figure who appeared there silently at some point, and the old man with a cane looked like a mummy.

"What's up, Shinji?

You've been a little absent-minded lately." The old man's voice also gave people a sense of decay, dryness and hoarseness.

"It's nothing, grandpa." Dak pretended to be a little frightened. He couldn't break up right now. With his current identity, he still needed the protection of the old man in front of him.

Dark II looked at the great sorcerer, Zouken Matou, who was over 500 years old.

It seems that because Dak lost his body, the system found him a body to possess this time.

But... this is a bullshit where Type-Moon is unlucky.

The two idiots' inhibitions were too active, and Dark didn't want to expose his power from another world at all, so he had to be timid for the time being.

Garbage inhibition, take a date pill.

"I hope so! If you have any problems, you can come to me. If you have nothing else, communicate more with Sakura... hehehe." Matou Zouken turned and left, disappearing into the shadow in the corner.

Although most people may not believe it, in fact, among the magicians, Zouken Matou can be considered as the type of magician who cares more about his family.

Compared to mainstream magicians who only treat their families as tools, Matou Zouken at least treats his family as human beings. Of course, this is based on the premise that they do not stand in his way forward.

Zouken Matou doesn't really care what Shinji Matou's problem is, because Shinji has no talent.

Apart from that almost non-existent family affection that can be ignored, the only thing about Shinji Matou that makes it worthy of its attention is that he is a direct descendant of its bloodline.

Even if the person is dead, the worst that can happen is that his father will have another child. No one in this family can go against his will.

A magician is a mysterious master, a walker in pursuit of the world's truth, and a fool crawling forward. The only thing he cannot be called a qualified "human being", at least more than 90% of magicians are like this.

It is important to note that Shinji does not have the necessary talent to be a magus.

That was why he could live a normal life in this strange family. He had enough food and clothing, and he had no shortage of material things. Matou was a big family in Fuyuki City.

The premise of all this is not to disobey Matou Zouken.

"This world... is such a pity! But... it's okay..." Dark's face seemed to be suddenly covered by a shadow. He still had the confidence, but he just didn't want to expose it.

As for Sakura...Dark doesn't intend to meddle in her affairs for now. After all, he should consider how to gain power reasonably.

Using real power is the last resort, at least he won't use it until he finds the right method.

He won't do boring things, as it would seem that he is overestimating his own abilities.

Shinji's uncle Matou Kariya has already proved the consequences of overestimating one's own abilities, and that there is very little humanity left in Matou Zouken.

"Speaking of which, Matou Kariya will be back soon." Dark didn't care much about Matou Kariya.

The old Shinji would definitely think that this was a traitor who tarnished the dignity of his family bloodline.

Now Dak would only say: "It's already gone, why should it throw itself into the fire and destroy itself? Letting it go is probably the only good thought it has left!"

The old bug's preferential treatment towards Matou Kariya is too obvious.

Looking at Zouken Matou leaving, Dark also turned and left.

He originally thought he knew everything that would happen, but now he just wants to play it safe.

Because he found out information about creatures like Dead Apostles and True Ancestors from Shinji's memories.

Then, as far as he knew, there was something called the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.

In other words, Heroic Spirits and True Ancestors exist at the same time.

This made Dak realize one thing: the information in his memory was basically of only little reference value.

It's the type that you just take a look at and don't take it seriously. If you take it seriously, then wait to die!
Because logically speaking, the Heroic Spirits and the True Ancestors are two world lines that do not intersect.

As for this mixed worldview... he had no idea about it, so he had to disguise himself to be appropriate.

Magicians are all strange beings, and it’s reasonable for them to be a little abnormal, but in the short term, Dark thinks it’s better to maintain their original personalities.

After all, he just got here.

Dark is about to go to the Matou family's library, where the Matou family has accumulated hundreds of years of magical secrets.

Although the magical bloodline of the Matou family has been cut off, no matter how much Shinji studies magic, it is actually meaningless for him in this state.

He has no talent in this body.

The talent mentioned here refers to the magician's special body parts called magic circuits.

Although it seems that there are some inexplicable logical problems, this is the reality. The quality of magic circuits may not be the most important thing for true geniuses and big families. They naturally have ways to make up for the magic circuits to the extent they need.

Rather than being users of technology, magicians are more like developers of technology.

But just as disabled people cannot compete with ordinary people, the biggest question is whether or not there is one.

That is the breakthrough between 0 and 1, the difference between having and not having.

The gap between 0 and 1 is much larger than that between 1 and 10.

Turn on the desk lamp and sit down gently.

Normally, magic props or candles should be used for lighting, but unfortunately, the only real magician in the Matou family is Matou Zouken.

Therefore, there are still many modern electrical appliances in the Matou family.

Dak skillfully opened the magic book on the table and continued reading from where he left off last time.

There are many, many books in the room, the bookshelves are very high, and the entire library is very large.

The book records all kinds of mysteries. While reading it, Dark did not feel bored, he even found it very interesting.

Just like various scientific research papers, Dark's original knowledge of mysticism can be applied to other areas, and he can learn from others' experience to improve himself.

Every time this happened, he felt that time passed very quickly.

Actively learning interesting knowledge and passively learning boring knowledge are two completely different states.

Close the book in your hand and put it on the bookshelf.

Dak rubbed his eyes. It was already very late.

No one came to disturb him, or rather, since Sakura Matou appeared, Shinji Matou had no sense of existence in this family and was completely unnecessary.

Wasn't it in this state that Shinji was driven crazy little by little?

Dake thought so.

Even if I don't really care about all this, this almost cold and violent state...

...I couldn't ask for more!!!
The less people notice the better!!

Rubbing his eyes and dozing off, Dake returned to his room.

Although he saw Sakura Matou on the road, Dark didn't want to go over to her.

Because I'm not interested.

Is he the kind of person who would save the weak out of mercy and justice?

Hehe, how is that possible?

He, Dak, is not the kind of person who has compassion and cares about the feelings of the weak.

The main reason is that his current condition is not good. If Dake is in good condition, a child with good qualifications like Sakura Matou can still be taken back and raised in captivity.
