My Evil Stepson System



Right after Brian Stark left the torture room, the sadistic torturer ordered the two guards standing by the door to release Kevin and take him to the arena.

Kevin, who was feeling exhausted after being bound to the wall, had his arms around the shoulders of the two men in charge of transferring him to the arena.

They dragged his feeble body to where a battle was meant to take place.

Since he couldn't walk on his own due to the height of the two men, Kevin's legs hovered above the ground until they reached their destination.

The two men then dumped Kevin into the cage, causing him to land on the ground.

Just as he grunted while trying to stand on his feet, the announcer's voice rang out, followed by the loud cheers of the crowds around the vicinity.

<< It seems our last contender for the fight has joined in. And I've just been informed that he's...what?!!>>

<<Ladies and gentlemen. Our last contender is an infamous gang boss who dreams of usurping the king!!>>

<<He currently has a bounty of fifty million dollars on his head as well>>

"What?!!!" The crowd exclaimed in unison before loud murmurs filled the arena.

Regardless of the noise being made in the background, the announcer continued.

<<Not only did he blurt out such an outrageous goal, but he also brazenly declared war upon the king by destroying all the shipments of our beloved mistletoe>>

The murmur intensified and the announcer roared out Kevin's alias.

<<His name is The Boogeyman!!!>>

The crowds booed at Kevin right after the announcement was made.

The announcer tried to calm the audience who had begun to throw empty bottles and half-finished food at the cage.

<< I know how gutted everyone is, because trust me, I feel just as disappointed as you all are to see him alive. I sure wish he was ripped to shreds by a cannibal>>

<<But fret not ladies and gentlemen, for the remaining nine fighters in the arena will help us to answer our prayers>>

The crowd cheered loudly at the words they heard from the announcer.

<<Each of these fighters were originally tasked with facing off against some cannibals, and the reward was a few grams of mistletoe if they could successfully take them down>>

<<Now, the King, being as magnanimous as always, has now offered these valiant men a way to earn three times the grams they were promised if and only if they beat the hell out of the Boogeyman until his limbs break and he becomes unable to move>>

The announcer then paused for effect, allowing his words to sink into the listening crowds' ears before he continued.

<<Which means the king needs him alive for now.

So until the king wants him dead, we'll only get to see him wail and suffer in utter agony>>

<<Oh!! And what a view that would be.>>

<<Let this serve as a reminder to all other gang bosses who might be dreaming of doing the same to the King in the future.>>

<<No one will be spared by the unrivaled King!!!>>

The loud cheers of the crowd filled the arena, but as the announcer was about to announce the commencement of the battle, he recalled something very important.

<<Oh!! I almost forgot to mention something very important.>>

<<Well, I'm certain most of you already know this, but for those of you who don't.>>

<<All nine men are currently the best fighters in the arena, but that isn't the most surprising thing about them all.>>

<<All the nine fighters standing before the Boogeyman are also NILs!!!>>

<<This means they are all an Awakened!!>>

<<They are the only kind of Awakened who can't control or summon a cannibal.>>

<<But their strength is equal to that of a C-rank cannibal.>>

<<Let's see how the Boogeyman fares against nine Mistletoe-craving Awakened.>>

<<Let the battle begin!!>>

"Woooo!!!!" The crowd cheered in anticipation of the commencement of the battle.

Kevin slowly stood upright to find himself surrounded by a cage made of metal bars.

The place where they were meant to fight was dark, with only a few fire torches lighting up the arena.

Aside from the other nine awakened in the arena, the torches were bright enough to illuminate the huge crowd of people leaning from their seats and shouting in loud voices for the nine men to end the Boogeyman.

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Kevin glanced up and saw a huge screen with ten names displayed on it, his name was written at the bottom of the list.

He slowly stretched his body to prepare himself for the impending battle. But as he prepared himself, the parasite said in his head.

[Are you sure you will be able to fight in your current state?] Concern laced her voice.

[I understand that you're trying to let everyone know how fearsome you are because of the future when you will rise to the top of the underground chain, but I would suggest you pay close attention to your health as well.]

'I understand, thanks for the warning. But I'm sure you know that I can't just gulp down a potion in front of everyone, it would make everything I've been trying to do be for naught.'

[I understand.]

'Oh, that reminds me. I recall you saying something about me being the strongest human across the four cities right?'

[Precisely, but my words were exactly that you're now the strongest human in the world.]

'True, and you also mentioned something about me having a similar strength to a low-ranking cannibal.'

[Indeed.]

Hearing this, a smile appeared on his face.

'Since a NIL is just as strong as a low-ranking cannibal, let's find out what the strongest human can do against nine NILS.' He thought to himself.

The first awakened strode towards him since he noticed that Kevin was still staggering and could barely stand on his two feet.

But as the man's fist swung towards Kevin, he pivoted away from the spot he previously stood in, before curling his hand into a fist and sending it straight to his opponent's chin causing him to be lifted off the ground with a perfect uppercut.
