185 Like scare him away? (1/2)

Shannon ignores the voice in her head.

[Hello, I am Pi9019. You can give me a new name if you want to. Honestly, I prefer a short name,]

”Darn it!” She murmurs to herself. The voice in her head keeps talking as if she is a radio. ”Can't you shut yourself down?”

[I have reconnected with other systems. We made a group. You can send a message to your friends. Brandon also has a system. Isn't it amazing that you can contact other people in your head?]

”Only if I had some privacy?” Shannon isn't a fan of anything that invaded her privacy and thoughts. After having a conversation with Sung Nami, the president of the council, she has started hearing this thing's voice in her head. It talks about how she can have her own continent -- and how the Developers can help her rebuild civilization. She must get a place for humans or they will get extinct. Shannon isn't against these ideas. Humans are the most vulnerable creatures in the current world -- there's barely any humans left. The angels are trying to help all the survivors, but everything is revealed. Their world consists of fae, dark creatures, and other creatures that aren't humans. Sung Nami isn't a human like her either.

And it seems that Sung Nami is soft toward non-humans. Sung Nami's brothers are demons and her mother is also a demoness.

[And her true mate is a vampire.]

Shannon folds her arms. There's a near-permanent scowl on her face. How can they trust someone who has a vampire mate?

[Although there are only nine pureblooded vampires, they can always make more. The vampire queen is a convert. She used to be a human, but she was converted into a vampire during the apocalypse. She killed hundreds of humans. And she kidnapped a human child.]

”A human child?” Shannon raises her brow.

[The human child was adopted by the vampire king. She's the only one who can kill the noble vampires.] A pause. [Currently, she's living with the moon guardian. The moon guardian will train her to be a blood witch. Anyway, the moon guardian's true mate is also a dark creature -- a ghoul with a history of violence.]

It seems that humans can't trust anyone.

[That's why you should seek your own nation during the meeting. You are the chosen leader of the humans -- it's not Sung Nami. Don't worry about starting, Shannon. I am the Empire-Builder System. I can make you an empress.]

”I don't have such interests,” Shannon murmurs. ”I just want to protect my people.”

[And that can happen if you are powerful. You don't have magic or the talent for spiritual cultivation. I mean, it's not impossible, but the current status of the world? It will be a long time before you can even sense some spiritual energy.]

Shannon inhales sharply.

This kind of problem has existed before. Previously, people of her country were worried about immigrants. And racism existed to some extent. Now what? It wasn't even racism. It was a problem of species. Vampires aren't even humans. There are demons and faes -- and what not? Humans need to survive. Having a different nation is a legitimate request.

[If you say yes, I will help you kick them all out of this world.]

Sung Nami looks at the crowd in front of the council building. Shannon is their leader.
