Hero Hack: Reversing Heroes and Raising Harem-Chapter 175: All I Got Was This Weak Body

Zain stood alone in his room. The lights were off. Silence.

He exhaled once. Then looked up.

"Let’s start."

His eyes narrowed at the glowing system panel in front of him.

"I am the Heavenly Demon. That’s not a title. That’s who I am."

"So my class... should be [Heavenly Demon]."

His fingers moved fast. No hesitation.

"System. Hack me."

---

The screen flashed.

Zain crossed his arms. "Good."

"Now give it to me. I want everything rebuilt—faster, stronger—"

Suddenly his knees dipped.

"What."

He reached for his chest. No energy pulse.

His fingers trembled.

His strength vanished.

"What... the hell did you just do?"

He staggered back a step, nearly falling over.

"I can’t feel my [Heavenly Demon Body]. Where is it?"

He brought up his arm. Tried to summon fire.

Nothing.

He clenched his fist. No aura. No muscle feedback. Just... a regular arm.

"You wiped me?"

His voice dropped lower. Cold.

"You deleted everything?"

He turned back to the system panel, jaw clenched.

"You erased all [Mid-Tier Abilities]. You even erased all [Low-Tier Abilities]..."

"I spent so much to get all those abilities."

"And spent months cultivating my [Heavenly Demon Body]."

He stared blankly for a second, then cracked his neck.

"I just spent ten million hack points to become... powerless."

He reached down, tried to do a light jump.

The same jump he used to do while dodging bullets midair.

He barely cleared the floor.

He landed awkwardly and stumbled.

He stood still.

"...Did I just trip over air?"

The system chimed again.

---

[Please determine the following for Class: Heavenly Demon]

[3 Active Abilities]

[2 Passive Traits]

[Once confirmed, the system will finalize the class configuration and complete the acquisition]

---

Zain stood in front of the glowing interface, arms crossed, jaw tight.

He exhaled through his nose.

"You really stripped me naked before asking what clothes I wanted," he muttered.

His fingers flexed. Then cracked. Then clenched.

"Fine. Let’s rebuild."

He glared at it like it had just stolen ten million hack points. Which it had.

"First, we start with the passive traits."

"Foundation first. You don’t build a castle on sand. Even I know that."

He raised a hand and began pacing.

"I want a passive that handles the inner power."

"Soul, spirit, whatever you want to call it. You know what I mean."

He pointed at the interface like it was a slow assistant.

"I want something that turns any kind of energy."

"Qi, mana, aura, spiritual fog, mist from dead beasts, exploding corpses."

"Anything into my own energy. I don’t care what form it comes in and comes out."

He paused.

"And when I attack, I want that energy in every strike."

"My punches, kicks, even my presence."

"It should feel like I’m burning through people’s souls."

He smirked faintly. "And yeah, I want an aura."

"The type that makes weak people take a step back just from looking at me."

The system beeped.

---

[Passive Trait Installed: Heavenly Demon Ether]

[Effect: Converts all incoming energy—environmental, hostile, or ambient—into pure Heavenly Demon Ether]

[Result: All attacks are infused with Ether; aura pressure damages and suppresses weaker enemies nearby]

---

Zain nodded.

"Good. That’s the soul and inner side. Now the body."

He turned back toward the screen.

"I want my [Heavenly Demon Body] back."

He held out both arms.

"This body was made to fight. I want it to grow stronger through pain."

"The more I bleed, the more I break, the more it upgrades."

He tilted his head.

"Some people meditate to level up. I just get stabbed and move on."

He tapped the screen.

"I want injuries to power me. Exhaustion to sharpen me."

"And if someone manages to break something... good."

"That’s just bonus fuel."

The system responded.

---

[Passive Trait Installed: Heavenly Demon Body]

[Effect: The body evolves through pain and hardship]

[Result: Injuries trigger strength growth—deep wounds and exhaustion increase power instead of reducing it]

[Status: 2 Passive Traits Installed]

[Awaiting Selection: 3 Active Abilities for Class – Heavenly Demon]

---

Zain let out a short laugh.

"Now we’re talking."

He rolled his shoulder, stretched his neck, and gave the screen a sharp grin.

"Alright. Time to think. Active abilities."

He tapped his foot. Then raised one hand.

"First thing’s first. I need control."

He narrowed his eyes.

"I don’t want surprises. No betrayal. No rebellion."

"If I say sit, they sit. If I say die, they ask how."

He pointed sharply.

"I want an ability that marks my girls as permanent slaves."

"No escape. No excuses. And no more backstabbing hero nonsense."

He paused.

"But—" he raised a finger, "—it’s not all chains and tears."

"Once they’re locked, they should get stronger."

He nodded to himself.

"They’ll be able to generate [Heavenly Demon Ether] just like me."

"Not as fast. Not as refined. But enough to be dangerous."

He held up another hand.

"And I want them to have my [Heavenly Demon Body] too."

"A weaker version. Let them grow through pain, just like me."

He stopped, then smirked.

"Oh, and I want full connection. Mind to mind."

"I want to hear them from across the city."

"I want to feel their emotions when someone dares to touch them."

"I want to know where they are, what they’re thinking, and who they’re looking at."

He paused, then muttered, "Especially that last one."

The system flashed.

---

[Active Ability Installed: Heavenly Demon Slaves]

[Effect: Allows Zain to mark selected females as eternal slaves]

[Result: Grants permanent mental, emotional, and spatial link]

[Betrayal: Impossible. Mental resistance auto-nullified upon activation]

---

Zain blinked.

"Huh. That’s... a lot more obedient than I expected."

Another ping hit.

---

[Active Ability Installed: Heavenly Demon Sect]

[Effect: Activates upon having marked Heavenly Demon Slaves]

[Result: Loyal followers gain a lesser Heavenly Demon Body and generate Heavenly Demon Ether passively]

[Disloyalty Consequence: Immediate power sealing and progressive internal breakdown under Zain’s spiritual command]

[Note: Due to the overwhelming strength of selected abilities, 3 active slots have been condensed into 2]

---

Zain’s eyes twitched.

"What the hell?"

He looked at the screen.

"You combined my three active slots into two?"

"System, are you scamming me right now?"

The screen blinked innocently. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Zain groaned and rubbed his forehead.
