The over-the-knee stocking on top of Su Mo's head—
Suddenly began to writhe violently, like a living thing.
The fabric twisted and squirmed, as if it had become living skin.
Then, without warning, that "skin" cracked open into a web of jagged fissures.
Shhhhk-shhk-shhk—
With the sound of tearing flesh, the cracks split wide, revealing countless eerie, grotesque eyeballs.
Cold, malevolent, filled with hatred.
One by one, the pupils turned, all locking their gaze onto the Yukinoshita sisters—Yukino and Haruno.
In an instant, it felt like the air around them had dropped below freezing.
Their beautiful faces turned deathly pale.
Their hearts skipped a beat—nearly stopped altogether.
A scream almost escaped their lips.
A real evil spirit.
This… this couldn't be real!
Yukino and Haruno stared wide-eyed, filled with horror and disbelief. They couldn't accept that something this twisted, this unnatural, could actually exist in their world.
In that moment, the two proud, flawless girls trembled like frightened quails.
"Now do you believe me, Senpai? Yukinoshita?"
Su Mo finally spoke—calm and composed—as he looked at the sisters, who were so scared they could barely stand.
He had originally just wanted to quietly deal with the evil spirit haunting Yukinoshita Yukino. But since these sisters insisted on seeing it for themselves, he'd obliged.
After all, he didn't want to be branded a pervert.
"I-I believe you now… Junior-kun, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have misunderstood you. Please… please just get rid of that thing."
Haruno's eyes were wide with terror. Her delicate face quivered as she gulped, the usual confidence completely gone. She looked at Su Mo with a pitiful expression, voice trembling.
Now that she knew evil spirits truly existed in this world…
She had no trouble believing Su Mo was an exorcist.
Quick-witted as ever, Haruno wisely chose to surrender—and even put on a weak, vulnerable act.
As someone well-versed in the art of charm, Haruno Yukinoshita knew exactly how to use her looks to disarm the opposite sex and appeal to their softer side.
"And what about you?"
Su Mo's eyes twinkled with amusement as he turned to Yukinoshita Yukino.
Unlike her sister, Yukino still had some pride. But even she had been scared witless. Her pale face was stiff, and when Su Mo called her out, she awkwardly lowered her head.
She realized that both she and her sister had been overly aggressive earlier—and had clearly offended this mysterious, ghost-busting classmate.
Sensible as ever, she lowered her head and muttered quietly, "Sorry."

Tier-5 Zombie Lord… Tier-6 Ghost King?
Su Mo stared at the two delicate girls in front of him.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
According to the system's classification, a Tier-5 creature could wipe out an entire nation with ease. Tier-6? That was on the level of sinking continents—essentially god-tier monsters.
And yet, these supposedly apocalyptic threats were just two pretty girls he could probably make cry with a single slap.
The thought that in one year, these two soft, innocent sisters would become terrifying monsters sent a chill down Su Mo's spine.
Not long ago, Su Mo had stepped on a cockroach.
Then, memories from his past life came flooding back—reminding him that he was, in fact, a transmigrator. And at that very moment, a Doomsday Survival System activated.
The system informed him that the cockroach he had killed was no ordinary pest—it was a Tier-1 Star-Eating Roach. If it had been allowed to evolve, it could've devoured entire planets.
The system also revealed the horrifying truth: the world he was in was actually a future apocalypse zone.
Its purpose? To help Su Mo survive the end of days.
The revelation nearly scared the life out of him.
Fortunately, after fully receiving the system's data, he realized it wasn't all doom and gloom.
Because the apocalypse wouldn't arrive for another year.
This seemingly peaceful, everyday anime multiverse would remain normal until then.
According to the system, one year from now, a blood moon would rise in the sky of the composite anime world.
On that day, Earth—known here as Blue Star—would be instantly plunged into chaos. All life would begin to mutate into horrifying creatures: ghosts, zombies, horrors, even servants of ancient evil gods.
Only a few would survive.
Originally, Su Mo's system was set to activate only when that apocalypse began, at which point he would be thrown into a desperate struggle for survival.
But due to some kind of glitch or bug…
The system awakened a year early.
Even better, it still operated as if it were the apocalypse—using future standards.
For example, the cockroach. Right now, it was just a regular bug. But in a year, it would've become a Tier-1 monster.
Yet the system still treated Su Mo's casual stomp as if he had killed a fully evolved Tier-1 creature—granting him EXP and loot accordingly.
Which meant...
If Su Mo were to kill the sisters standing before him—who were still just ordinary girls—the system would still reward him as though he had slain a Tier-5 and Tier-6 monster.
Of course, Su Mo wasn't a psycho.
He wasn't a murderer. Even if the Yukinoshita sisters were destined to become horrifying creatures a year from now—creatures that might threaten his life—
That was still a future problem.
Now that he had a year's head start with the system, Su Mo had the chance to grow stronger. Strong enough to not fear Tier-5 or Tier-6 threats. Maybe even strong enough to surpass them altogether.
By then, those two wouldn't even be a concern.
Besides, Su Mo didn't want them to turn into monsters.
Looking at the beautiful sisters before him—stunning in both appearance and figure—a deeper light flickered in Su Mo's eyes.
Yes, he wanted to save them. Not just out of kindness…
But out of desire. The desire to possess beautiful heroines.
After all, what's the point of transmigrating into a multiverse anime world and gaining a cheat system if you don't build your own harem?
And saving these two sisters?
Would only bring him more benefits.
So whether for the greater good or for personal pleasure, Su Mo had no intention of letting them fall to the apocalypse.
