My Immoral Detective System Chapter 3
Advertisement
When Zion opened his eyes, his body was already breathing. He felt dizzy for a moment, and then he moved his limbs.
But before he could get a grasp of the situation, a soft female voice attracted his attention.
"What kind of person did you choose?! He doesn't even know how to serve well!" Even though the voice was soft, the rude tone made it harder for Zion to appreciate the girl.
"Ignore him," another female voice said in a helpless tone. "Oi, servant 52, pour water in my cup."
Servant 52? Zion finally opened his eyes and observed his surroundings.
The room had multiple red-colored objects. Everything, including carpet, curtains, bedsheets, couch covers, pillows, and practically everything related to clothes, was red. But the room seemed to have an ancient touch, giving out the vibe of a medieval European setting.
On his right, two ladies wearing an ancient gown of pink and light green color sat on a dining table. The girl in pink suddenly reminded him of the floating Methu man he met earlier, and the feeling of nausea returned, making him feel sick in the pit of his stomach.
He still didn't know what his situation was! So he lowered his head and acted like a docile servant, pouring tea in the cups kept before those women.
He tilted his head.
First, he died just because he failed to find the second bomb, which he suspected was planted inside that criminal's body. And second, he met a strange Methu man wearing those weird furry clothes.
His nose wrinkled as he recalled that view.
Third, that man forced a system on him.
Speaking of the system, why didn't he feel anything in his mind? Hadn't that furry man said that they would attach it to his 'subtle body'?
Then… where was this system?
*System 007 is online*
This word flashed in front of his eyes on a transparent screen, and before it could surprise him, he heard a voice.

"Did you just call me?" A transparent screen flashed before his eyes, with a familiar figure grinning on the screen. When Zion saw this figure, he blurted out, "Methu man?!"
That's right. The person who appeared on the transparent screen before was the same man wearing those furry clothes.
So the furry man was his system…
He couldn't help but feel a wave of a headache coming at this point.
That man was stupid!
At first, he had thought that he wouldn't have to see that face ever again. But now, looking at this kind of funny virtual image of that man, Zion's expression turned stony.
Perhaps the system understood that he had somehow offended Zion. So the person shook his head instantly and said, "If you're talking about Methuselah, I'm not him."
Zion felt relieved after hearing that.
"I'm system 007-"
"Why 007?" Zion was curious about this.
"Isn't it a famous number because of James Bond?"
Zion couldn't help but shake his head helplessly—as expected of a system that looked similar to that stupid floating man.
"As I was saying, I'm a virtual version of him!" Then the person paused. "In your words, I'm an artificial intelligence created by taking reference from that person."
"Get to the point!"
Before the system could reply, a female voice suddenly spoke in an icy voice. "Lia, dear, your servant is such a skamelar. Does he need tips?"
"I said, ignore him." The woman dressed in a green gown stressed on her words, attempting to gain her attention.
That's when Zion noticed the surrounding women. The pink girl's eyes flashed with a touch of disdain when she glanced at him, but this Lia girl only smiled gently.
What shocked him the most was her eyes. Half of her eyes were red, and the other part was black. Wavy blond hair reached her waist as she averted her eyes and smiled at her friend, chattering with the other person.

This girl was indeed beautiful. If it were an ordinary world, Zion would've tried to converse with this girl, but he had just been transmigrated into another unknown planet with a weird system attached to him.
Even the other girl wearing a pink gown didn't seem normal.
He was so busy staring at those women that he failed to glance at the system, who was emitting pink bubbles and heart emoji while staring at those women with glistening eyes.
Slowly, Zion calmed down and concluded they were probably far from human.
"That's true!" The system chirped smilingly after listening to Zion's thoughts. "This race is called Dhampir, and the two women before you are the royals with a half-vampire and half-witch blood in their veins. Both are sisters."
Zion glanced at the screen. "Say, system, why did Methu man choose me?"
But the smile on the system's face faded as he took upon solemn expression, saying, "I'm not obliged to answer this question."
Zion sneered in his heart. Sure enough. This system was a robot that acted friendly only on the surface.
The system trembled under Zion's icy gaze and quickly explained the rules. "I'm a very user-friendly system. If you want to see your status, think of the word status, and it'll show you your name, occupation, and points. And if you want to use your points to shop for power and other stuff, you just have to say shop! Similarly, if you have some query, you can just say help, and I would get you connected with the superiors."
"You mean Methu man."
"Yes, yes! Him! He's my boss!"
This system was as stupid as his boss. It hadn't told him anything about his purpose in this world! This 007 didn't have a slightest inclination toward work. Zion rolled his eyes at that. "Okay, but what exactly do you do?"
"Oh, my bad! I didn't even tell you why I'm here!" The system face-palmed itself. "I'm a detective system, and I'll help you become the topmost detective in this world!"
And he would also help the man meet the most beautiful ladies in the topmost races across the world. But this wasn't something the system wanted the man to know. According to the coding, the word 'immoral' shouldn't be said out loud. So he showed a lecherous smile and glanced at the ladies sitting at the dining table.
Zion, who was already on the top of the previous world, didn't find this reward even a wee bit alluring. But as he glanced at the system, he saw that weird lecherous smile directed at the women and raised his brows. This system was indeed odd, and there was probably something hidden within that smile.
For now, he would keep that matter aside until he could gather more evidence.
The system waiting for some praise got a sharp glance from Zion and shivered in fear. The virtual man coughed awkwardly and opened his mouth.
"I have one more reward." The system paused, and star-shaped emoji flashed in his eyes. "If you can get 500,000 points, you can get rid of me permanently! Just solve as many cases as you can and earn these points!"
Zion raised his brows. This was the only thing that seemed interesting, but he knew there would be a downside to this path. The system would dig a pit for him secretly, waiting for him to fall automatically under the guise of 500,000 points.
So he didn't believe that this system was naïve. Instead, he wanted to investigate this transparent virtual person more. So his eyes narrowed for a moment before lowering. "What's my first case?"

Omnicrafter (A Crafting Adventure LitRPG)
Countless twenty-something-year-olds around the world wish every day for a chance to go back in time to start practicing their passions sooner in life. Tabitha is one such woman. With all of her youth spent playing online games where crafting was as simple as gathering materials and clicking a "craft" button to put them together, she never gained any actual experience in making things. Every attempt to create something in the real world is met with disaster. Her heart yearns for being the master crafter of her virtual youth, but she's the type who burns water when trying to cook. That changes when she wakes up and finds herself in a game-like fantasy world where crafting comes as naturally to her as breathing. She still has to put in the hard work of crafting herself, but the system helps her out to make what was once impossible for her possible. She gets all the fun of making things and flexing her creative spirit while not needing any years of training nor study to build her skill up! While she might not have any idea how she got to this strange world, she does know that she's not going to waste her chance and is going to make the most out of this new opportunity to craft everything! An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*. If there's a problem, it can be solved by crafting. Also, in case the title and synopsis didn't make it obvious enough, this series is going to focus on crafting all the things. Wooden spears and protective cuirasses? You got it! Healing tonics and farming equipment? Sure! Elaborate cupcakes and customizable fantasy golems? Darn straight! Weapons with a broken amount of different buffs applied to them due to the crafting process and materials used? You know it! The most amazing fishing rod to ever exist? Well, obviously. Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all! So, if you like alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, cooking, leatherworking, tailoring, engineering, rune forging, magical enchanting, or basically any other type of crafting found in RPGs, come check the story out! An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me.
