In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful
At first this world was something I was thinking of from Dark Souls There would be a lot of stories about evil rulers as well as systems to defend people from evil spirits and curses as well as dark mythical creatures
This will be a dark fantasy story, with a dark, hidden apocalyptic atmosphere. There will be a lot of gore, and I wouldn't recommend enjoying this story for the faint of heart, especially since this chapter is just the beginning. I'll try to write a gory story, but as the story continues.
The first chapter will be nice to start with, but as the story progresses, I hope you'll be ready to see the evil in the demon world.
-------------------
Finally arrived waiting for the man who owns the house.
In front of the blond young man was a haunted house. It looked old, as if it hadn't been inhabited for a hundred years. Unlike the buildings next to it, which looked modern, this house looked as if it had belonged to a bygone era.
"Hey, young man, are you the one checking the place out?" a man in his thirties, with a wrinkled face and gray hair, wearing a black jacket, black pants, a white shirt, and a blue tie, asked me.
Are you Mr. Amano? You came here after hearing the story of this house.
A story has been circulating on the internet recently that there is a house where everyone who enters it dies, and there are even several cases of disappearances.
You're right, boy. It really did happen. I've always wanted to sell this house.
Why didn't you sell it then? It's true that this house is old, but at the same time, it's located in one of Tokyo's most upscale neighborhoods. I didn't expect you'd have such a hard time selling it.
The thirty-year-old man smiled and said to the young man in a desperate voice, "You're right, young man, but you're missing a few things. Haven't you heard the stories?"
The blond young man shrugged as he looked at Mr. Amano. "I don't think about those things. I think they're superstitions."
Yes, boy, don't believe these things. Honestly, I've lived in this house for a long time since my father died, but after his death, my mother decided to sell it after a while, but I couldn't find a buyer. But you might get lucky today.
How much was the house worth? One million yen, a very low price for a house in such an upscale Tokyo neighborhood, especially at that time. The young man knew this, but at the same time, there was something about this house that attracted him, something different from what Mr. Amano had imagined.
Okay, let's sign the contract, sir. I've brought the money. After they entered the house, he signed the contract, and Mr. Amano left after saying to the young man, "Have a nice life, boy."
He quickly left, leaving the young man alone in the house, smiling happily as he looked at the people from afar. He was saying like a fox, "Finally, I got rid of this house and got the money. I can't believe how lucky I am. I never imagined I would meet such a foolish young man."
Even a fool would know this house was off-limits, but he still wanted to buy it. What great luck!
The man laughed at the boy's stupidity and left. On the other side of the house, the young man was laughing hysterically and madly as he stared at the blue screen in front of him.

--------------
Finally, he stopped laughing and looked at the screen. He wasn't laughing for me, his special success award, but to free his soul from the grip of this unjust system.
Their origins in this world hadn't occurred to him a few months ago. He was just an ordinary man who went to the office and carried out the orders of his superiors. Now, he had somehow entered the world of the novel he was reading.
Now in the body of a single Soul Hunter he'd read about, he had no choice but to take on multiple missions across Tokyo.
After spending nearly five days in this world without finding a home or shelter, this task suddenly popped into his mind. He had one million yen in his account before moving, and he always counted this amount.
He intended to buy a cheap house anywhere but in a good area so that he could live in this bad world, but he did not expect that this regime would come and directly order him to give up this money and buy this house.
After searching for many places to buy and spending a long time in these five days to find a good place and a great house, he finally managed to find the great house that he could buy for a million yen.
When he remembered that house, tears started to flow from his eyes.
Damn you, you vile regime. I will never forgive you for this loss.
Ding Ding
[Host Warning: Insulting the system may result in severe punishment for the host]
With a cold, mechanical voice, the system spoke harshly to Jin, who froze in fear at the sound.
He knelt on the ground with a loud voice, "I'm sorry, please forgive me. I didn't mean it. I wasn't really suffering."
It was no surprise that they initially knelt when he entered this world. He thought it was just a joke, a system that would help him become this world's hero. He refused to comply, wanting to live a normal life, but he didn't expect...
An electric shock fell on him from the sky, and he suffered for ten solid minutes. He screamed in pain, while this cold system mocked him.
[The host seems to have some intelligence even if he's just an ordinary human]
The system says harshly as it disappears in an instant, leaving Jin alone looking at the house he just bought, all the smiles on his face before his near-death escape gone.
"I can't believe I'm living such a life." He couldn't even curse this system in his heart for fear that it would shock him to death again.
[Alert: The quest has been successfully completed and the house has been purchased. The evil spirit has been expelled from the house. This house has become the property of the host, and all of its abilities have been granted to them.]
Jin Tendo didn't pay much attention at first to the sound of the mission being performed, but after reading it, his mouth opened wide.
What, does this house have special powers? After learning of these powers, he laughed out loud as he imagined its amazing capabilities. "Looks like buying this house wasn't in vain," he said, tapping on the screen in front of him.
(The Black Magician's House: The Black Magician died 100 years ago in this house and his dead spirit awakened and began to control this house for many years and was finally able to gain the strength to get out and return his body to reality, but due to the interference of the system owner, the Black Magician's spirit was completely destroyed)
After reading this sentence, his face twitched with laughter from fear. After he finished reading, he cried out loudly,
Oh my god, have you reached the house of black magic? He had read about black magic. They are people who manipulate life and don't care. Their only dream is to communicate with the evil rulers who rule other dimensions, in pursuit of power and immortality.
"And I would have died." He knew this house was haunted, but he figured they were just small spirits he'd be able to fight off once his body had strengthened since his arrival into this world. He hadn't felt tired once, even after he'd slept several times in public parks before he'd even considered buying a house.
------------------
(Black Magic House: This house has three abilities)
(The inner house)
Ability Description: Within the house, the host can select any object and move it to their hand or move it anywhere in the house. Only dead or inanimate objects can be moved (Warning: Each movement drains a portion of the host's mental power).
-----------------
After reading the description of this ability, he burst out smiling. "That's awesome. It means I don't need to move my stuff. I can move it simply by thinking." He smiled at this useful ability. It was obvious how useful it was to him.
Especially in a house like this, where moving so many things would require some mental strength, gold might require a lot of mental strength, but at this time, I might as well move a lot of things, and I'll test it out over time. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided it was a useful ability that he would use carefully. He looked at the blue screen and began reading.
Other abilities at home I silently hope that the other abilities are good and useful too.
--------------
(The Black Magician's House)
(Ghost Man Power)
Ability Description: Inside the house, the host can make themselves or someone else disappear, and no one the host doesn't want to see them can see them (Warning: People stronger than the host cannot be hidden without their will).
-------------
He read the ability description silently and then said out loud,
"What would I gain by hiding myself in my house?" he cursed loudly.
"It seems I was hoping for too much order." He didn't dare to curse out loud or in his heart, but he really wanted to curse, especially after losing a million yen and his dream home in this despicable place.
I hope it's a useful ability that will help me forget this loss. This was Jin's first useful ability, one that made him feel comfortable moving things. He didn't know how much mental energy it would require, but it would be useful.
But this ability didn't seem to diminish him at all, and at the same time, what would he gain by hiding himself or others inside his house? Oh, my! He silently decided to take another look at the last ability and read it, hoping it would also be as good as the first.
------------------
(The Black Magician's House)
(Energy Safe Place)
Ability Description: The host can return home from anywhere within the city limits. They will always return to their home. This skill can be used once per day. (Warning: This skill cannot be used within a space barrier or within areas of evil spirits or demons.)
---------------
Jin's face was smiling widely for a moment, then he started cursing loudly after he finished reading.
"What do you mean you're not good to me when I'm in the ghost zones, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to go to the grocery store and then buy something and say I'm going home so I can go back to the house that's no longer good for me?"
With a loud thud, Jin hits the ground hard, causing a hole in the rotting wood of the house.
[The system warns the host that if it causes losses, the host will be punished.]
The cold mechanical voice reached Jin's ears, who knelt down loudly and shouted,
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, please." Jin knelt before the system, crying out for forgiveness, his face filled with fear.
The lightning strikes that Jin had experienced left a psychological scar on his soul that he couldn't shake even after five days in this world. He had never experienced such pain in his life, and he didn't want to repeat it.
[This is the host's final warning, please listen]
What did the system say? Those words trailed off, leaving Jin lying on the ground, his back covered in cold sweat, breathing heavily as he felt the electric shocks return to his body.
"It was close. I'd rather die than get electrocuted again," he said, taking a deep breath.
This is him looking at all angles of the house. He bought it before the man even looked at it, but even inside he sees the house, he is saddened, and a barely visible tear falls from the corner of his blue eye.
"This could have been my home," your voice sounded faint from the corners. What did he remember about the home he could have bought after it was all over? Helpless, he sat on the couch that seemed to remain intact in the house.
With a crushing thud, Jin fell to the floor. His clothes were covered in dust from the shattered sofa, which had looked sturdy and durable.
cough cough cough
He continued to cough loudly for ten minutes as he lay where he had fallen with the torn and smashed couch he had fallen on.
"My first days in this world, it seems that the days ahead will be very bright," he says, looking at the ceiling that had many cracks and saying in a voice full of sadness,

The chapter is over. I hope you share your thoughts in the comments. This is the beginning of my story in the world of evil spirits.
I'm in Tokyo, Japan and I'd love to hear from you too.
By the way, this story will continue with his ideas and with your help, young heroes and heroines. With your help, the hero living in his new home may survive.
