Black Alice in the Murder Land
Chapters 4. Welcome to the Murder Land

“Hah?!”

As his eyes blinked, Tenn was already in a dark city that had absolutely no aura of life.

“What the fuck is this?”

He looks around. The place was similar to a city in the past. A system notification to all.

[Welcome to the Murder Land]

[To Code Name players, it's nice to meet you. Introduce, I am the administration of this place, my name is Wonder]

[In this game, you will be asked to play a game that is “Card Collections”, where there are 52 cards held by players that have been spread throughout this area]

[The total number of participants here is 89. Only 52 people have cards in their pocket. The task for all players is to collect all the cards to be able to advance to the next level]

[The game limit will begin to apply when a player manages to get 26 cards in his hand. Until that happens, the game has no time limit]

[Each player is given an ability called a skill. It is listed on the explanation on your phone and it must be a secret]

[Don't tell the cards you have, Code Name: User, as well as your abilities to others because everyone in this place is your enemy]

[In this game, there is only one winner. That is, you are free to do all the way to get the cards that must be collected, including killing them]

[One more thing, there is a private system that you can access by calling the word “system” and it will be the only help from Wonder. Please ask the system anything if there is anything you do not understand]

[Have fun. Wonder will be waiting for you at the next level]

What a pretty short explanation. Already so, there was no way that everyone who was there would take all of that for granted.

At the very least, that did not apply to the demon lord.

“Mana where..try to see if it is true.” Tenn opened his phone and looked at the caption on his phone. “Code Name: Alice Liddell Yes. Current level 0. Ability...hah?!”

Tenn looked so pale, wasn't he more precisely fed up with what was written there.

“I swear I will never use this trash ability. It won't! Fuckin' shit! Why also code name for me girl name! What do you think I am, transgender?”

“It has been hard for me to be reincarnated into a handsome young man who is not cruel and good-hearted like my human parents now, maybe they give me a bad code name like this!”

But he was silent and thought for a moment.

“Where have I heard that name..”.

Tenn saw the network connection on his phone. “Jenius, network does not exist. How can I find out if there's no internet?!”

A little grumbling makes Tenn almost forget something.

“Oh! True correct..system!” he called the system as described by the administration.

[Welcome to the Murder Land]

[Include me, I'm System AL1. I'll be your guide to play]

[Welcome, Code Name: Alice Liddell. Please cooperate]

“...” Tenn speechless. He even briefly glued while muttering in his heart, “She's a system or a teammate? Is he like programmed by an admin named Wonder that?”

Tenn tried it once to test the accuracy of the system.

“System, can you name my full data?”

[Current age: 16 years 2 months 12 days]

[Gender: Man]

[Blood type: A]

[Ras: Human physically, Demon Lord soulfully]

[Status: Life]

[Abilities: SSS Grade level magic, regeneration ability, semi-immortal, telepathy, aura, read–]

“Stop! Stop, stop, stop!! That's enough, that's enough! Turn off..turn off that information and forget everything!”

[System closes information]

Tenn's heart was racing. He even closed his own mouth now while muttering softly.

“Why does this system know that I am the reincarnation of a demon lord? Can it be this sophisticated?”

“Then all my abilities can also be known by him. It's a bothered.”

Tenn spoke back to his system.

“System, just be aware that this information is leaked to others. Don't let the other player's system trace my entire identity. Cover everything and disguise it with a fake. Can not?”

[The system will lock all user personal information and replace it with new information]

[Starting information locking. Information lockdown complete]

[Creating new information. New information completed]

[Other player user systems cannot access personal data of Code Name: Alice Liddell]

[If you want to access real personal information, other players can track it by killing Code Name: Alice Liddell]

“Kill me? So we're allowed to kill?”

[Games rule there is only one winner. Any way is allowed as long as the target required to complete the level is met]

[The current time limit does not exist]

[Please make sure the pants pocket is Code Name: Alice Liddell to find out the ownership of items needed in the game]

“My pants pocket?” Tenn reached into his pocket. He felt something. “Card?”

[Card detected. “Diamond 10”]

[Total to be collected remaining 51 pieces]

“So apparently. It's a klondike card. I'm starting to have a little picture. Last...” Tenn asked the system, “System, where did the Code Name used by this game come from?”

[Code Name: User is taken from all characters created by Lewis Caroll, The Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Perrault and several other writers in the past]

“Hmm, from the fairy tale apparently. Whatever. Means my first task is to find another card like this huh..”.

“This will be interesting.”
