[Female lead's perspective, no fixed pairing]
Happy lives are all alike, while unhappy lives each have their own sorrows.
Ye Xuan was the first Nightmare Beast born between Heaven and Earth. Born with innate knowledge, she fed on dreams filled with resentment, fear, grief, hatred... all kinds of negative emotions. Following the scent of such dreams, she set out to feast, only to be blocked by a red ball.
[Hello, Host. I'm System 996, your personal customer service representative.]
Newly born, Ye Xuan tilted her head slightly and silently watched the red ball before her.
[Host, I know you like eating bad dreams, but too much of that stuff isn't good for you.]
[But if you make a pact with me, we can go on missions together and help people in misery. That will purify the impurities in their dreams, so you can feast without worrying about harming yourself!]
[This System can also find all kinds of dreams that will give you a proper feast. So, how about it? Shall we work together?]
Ye Xuan watched the red ball chatter on and on. She understood what it was saying, and besides...
"All right."
Ye Xuan licked her lips. She was hungry right now and wanted to eat.
So System 996 quickly found the most suitable nearby world and sent Ye Xuan there.
[Host, y-you rejected the male lead's confession?]
"Smelly. Don't like."
[Host, you shouldn't pick up men from the roadside, but you don't have to twist the knife, either!]
"He was in the way."
[Host, why did you make your big brother go blind?]
"He was too blind to see I was innocent, so I had to make him blind."
Much later, System 006 threw its head back and howled.
[My Host is a monster!]
