Chapter 1  : I Really Am a Good Person

“I am a good person.”

Although everybody knew that I was a good person and a law-abiding citizen, why did the public security officer in front of me still harass me to no end?

“As a law-abiding resident of Sulfur Mountain City, I pay my taxes on time and work diligently. In my workplace, I am a hardworking employee. In this locality, I am known to be a good neighbor and a good friend. I’m even an avid pet lover! Look at this medal—my Ah Bao is the champion of the Comm“Let me go!””I am innocent!””Don’t come here!” Wails of agony and cries to be spared could be heard, but the lich simply ignored them all. In fact, those who were harsher with their mouths were whipped silent by the skeleton soldiers keeping guard.

“Ruhr; human, rapist, guilty on 6 accounts and has been arrested 3 times. However, due to his good brother, the leader of a gang in the harbor area, who intimidated the victims, there were none willing to report him. In the end, the High Court of Sulfur Mountain City was forced to release him due to insufficient evidence.”

It was just that at this moment, the young master of the gang was the one shouting miserably.

“Since you are so fond of mating, I shall allow you to mate to your heart’s content.”

Thus, I found a couple three-meter tall ogres to play with him every day… However, they were all male and a certain something was thicker than the leg of a human…

Alright, since his current state in his cage was so appalling that even I feel disgusted just by talking about it, let’s talk about his neighbor instead.

“Dia Gold; goblin, professional swindler. Although he had dozens of cases filed against him, his way of handling matters was so superb that his victims often lacked decisive evidence against him. Also, this lad was willing to spend the money to hire the best lawyers in Sulfur Mountain City. Thus, he has managed to escape the reaches of the justice to date.”

At this moment, this gambler was sitting red-eyed, thoroughly engaged in his duel.

“I—I won!! Your money is mine now! You have to abide by your promises to let me go! I have four kings!”

The undead card player opposite to him, however, merely laughed and flashed his cards. Four aces, a hand just slightly better than Dia’s.

“No—no—no—impossible! You’ve already won seven hundred and sixty-seven matches consecutively! You cheater!”

“A cheating method that has yet to be caught is legal; isn’t that what you often said? Alright, how about you tell me where you have hidden your fortune and secrets instead!”

“I—I will redeem myself the next match!”

The undead card player was, of course, cheating with a special deck of cards that I had infused magic in. The undead player was able to manipulate the cards directly, making it impossible for Dia to win.

If it was any other normal person, they would have long given up after losing a few hundred rounds. However, Dia, whose eyes went red from gambling, was just a step away from his freedom and his fortune—how could he give up now?

The undead card player didn’t have to use any schemes to lure Dia into playing his game; he only had to flash his cards to attract the idle Dia, who was greedy down to his bones, to join in on his own accord.

“If—if I were to win just one match, I would be able to recoup everything.”

Thus, just like the victims he had swindled before, his greed pulled him into the abyss, making him lose his life savings in mere moments.

Truthfully, I had no interest in his swindling tactics or his secrets. But every time he lost a match, the anger and unwillingness from the depths of his heart would bring me more Evil Points. In comparison, his neighbor, who was already numb at this point, was giving me fewer and fewer Evil Points.

This was hell—a hell that belonged solely to me. It was prison housing those who had conducted heinous crimes but for numerous reasons, the Judges of Sulfur Mountain City were unable to pass an appropriate judgement upon them.

My unreliable System was able to extract power from other people’s pain or misfortune, and as a good person, I could only choose the route of punishing evil to encourage kindness.

Thus, making use of certain connections, I got these bastards here as fodder for my ‘Evil Lich System.’

The ‘Solo Hell Raider’ adventurer could be said to have the best treatment here already. Anyways, she had only broken a couple flower pots and had destroyed a few skeleton gardeners. After playing with her for a few more days, I will set her free.

As for the others, they were all villains who warranted the death penalty. I would make them suffer as much as they had done to others.

For example, making a rapist feel what it was like to be raped, letting a swindler enjoy the sensation of being duped of his life savings, making robbers and burglars feel how it was like to have something stolen from them, and causing the profiteers who purposely stockpile to create a famine know how it felt to sleep on a mountain of gold yet be unable to buy even a single slice of bread.

“Lunatic! You lunatic!”

“Please! Let me go!”

Doing things that hurt others but didn’t bring any benefits didn’t have any meaning. Their pain, through my nameless System, would turn into my power and would lay the foundation for my resurrection.

“I’m not crazy—you’re the crazy one!”

“You crazy lich! I am begging you; let me go. I’m willing to do anything!”

Crazy lich? Quite a few people have claimed that I have gone mad, but the first to say it was that person.

I stroked my chin with my forefinger as I tried to recall.

“Exactly when did I start to go mad? Was it during my previous life, when I had insisted on being a fair and righteous judge yet ended up being stripped of my position and exiled out of the industry, not even being able to serve as a lawyer?”

“Was it when I had reincarnated into this world with this weird System, thinking that I was the protagonist of this world and promised to bring prosperity to my family and my people, only to find that the cruel fate planned for me couldn’t be changed, and I lost my country, my family, and my kin?”

“Or was it when I swore revenge on the gods and the hypocrites as I brought about an incomplete body and formed a great legion of undead, but on that very route to my vengeance, I realized that my back was filled with mountains of corpses and rubble and that I was no different from those hypocrites and ambitious people, putting on a righteous front yet bringing about disaster and tragedy?”

“Hee hee, or maybe, from the very start, after realizing the truth of this world, the me who has memories from two lives had already gone mad.”
