Getting A System In A Modern World

The five minutes that Daniel gave everyone has already elapsed and he was about to start making do on his threats.

Did they take the chance he gave them? Yes! More than a dozen of them came out and started looking for Alex so that they can preserve their lives.

It was inevitable. Do they know who Alex was? No! Then why should they care about him.

Those that came out knew that what they were doing was wrong. They saw the judging eyes that everyone gave them but they couldn't help but care less. Each of them felt that they have to be the devil in a situation where everyone is trying to be a saint.

Among those that came out were teachers and some students. They all came out with the same goal of looking for Alex but after five minutes of searching, they got nothing.

Through the open door of the administrative office, Daniel looked at the group of people kneeling in front of him and clicked his tongue in disappointment. Even after giving them a whole give minutes, all of them came back empty handed.

"Useless," He sighed.

"But don't worry,". He said as a smile bloomed on his face.

The group felt a sense of foreboding when they saw the smile on Daniel's face. The smile held no warmth and it gave off a very sinister feeling.

They wanted to run away but when they saw the people who were standing at their back, with guns in their hands, they knew that their fate was sealed.

"You guys can be useful in another way—by becoming object of my demonstration." The smile on Daniel's face widened as an extremely dark expression enveloped his face.

He picked up the mic again, pressed a button and started speaking into it.

"I gave everyone a five minutes grace window but very few of you made use of the opportunity I gave you. Do you all think of yourselves as saints? How laughable.

I wonder what your thoughts would be when I start killing each and everyone one of you one by one? There's no need for me keep wondering as I can just find out for myself right now."

Daniel snapped his fingers and a small ball of flame materialized on it.

The eyes of those kneeling on the floor widened in shock and extreme fear. They didn't understand how the young man in front of them was able to summon a fireball but they understood one thing; they won't be making it out of here alive.

Daniel looked at the group and randomly flicked the small ball of flame at one of them. The next moment, an agonizing scream was heard as the person went up in flames.

The person started trashing around on the floor, wanting to put off the flames but they stuck to him like glue and they continued to burn.

"Arghh!. Please make it stop! It hurts! My body is burning, please make it stop!" The person continued to scream in pain and agony as he trashed around on the floor.

Everyone's hearts chilled when they saw this. They knew that taking the offer that the man made was the worst decision of their lives and it's going to cost them dearly.

Some of them them started crying in regret and hoping that Daniel would let them go but instead, Daniel gave the same bone chilling smile he gave them before.

Daniel didn't pay attention to others as he continued to watch the person burning with a blank expression on his face.

He watched the man trash around on the floor for a few minutes, with constant screams filled with agonizing pain.

He sniffed the smell of burnt flesh and blood in the air, and relished it like a delicacy. The heat emanating from the burning body was like cold water on an extremely sunny today to him but he knew that it wasn't the same for others.

He saw the fear, discomfort and tears in their eyes but it moved him not. The moment they agreed to help him look for Alex sealed their fates.

As the body burned, Daniel made sure that the screams were being broadcasted all over the school.

He watched as the body turned from that of a healthy middle-aged man to that blackened corpse.

Few mins later, an unrecognizable body could be seen on the floor and a choking smell of burnt flesh filled the air.

Daniel chuckled when he saw the charcoaled body on the floor. The scene of the man burning up and screaming in pain felt very refreshing for him, and he craved for more.

It was like someone getting his fix but not getting enough. The intense craving and the satisfying feeling that followed after the craving has been satisfied is just the best. It's like reaching a bee level of ecstasy and achieving orgasm.

Daniel's eyes fell on the group and he licked his lips in anticipation of what's to come next.

"Did you hear that? Did you hear that, Alex? Someone just died because of you. One of your teacher just died and in the next five seconds, another one is going to follow, and another, and another until you come out.

I will make sure to broadcast their screams for you and everyone to hear. I want you to hear as they scream while their flesh burns into cinders. Remember, they are your teachers, your schoolmates, classmates and friends."

Daniel dropped the mic and snapped his fingers, causing another small ball of flame to materialize on his palm.

The eyes of the group kneeling on the floor widened in fear when they saw the same ball of flames on Daniel's hand.

Some of them immediately lost it when they saw it. They knew what was in store for them as they saw how the previous person screamed, as he burned to death. Something that they don't want to experience.

Without any idea where the courage came from, some of them rush to their feet and started running, seeking escape.

"No! I won't die like this. I still have a lot waiting for me. Mommy!"

They weren't able to run far before gunshots were heard and each of them fell to the ground, with their blood pooling around them.

Daniel smiled when he saw this. The smile faded immediately and was replaced with a very dark expression. From the look on his face, one could that he was extremely angry.

"They thought they were smart but they were actually stupid. That's what happens to stupid people. Don't be stupid," Daniel said in a cold voice as he flicked the ball of flame to one of those still kneeling.

The same scene repeated itself as the person started trashing around on the floor while screaming in pain.

Daniel watched the scene with satisfaction on his face. He took a glance at those kneeling and he saw how dead their eyes looked.

"Ahhh... This is getting boring."
