System vs Rebirth

In the basement, a guy walked in with a bucket of water. It was clear who was the target of this bucket.

"You, stop!" Kirika shouted, but the guy ignored her as he immediately walked to Noel's cell and splashed him with that much water.

"Haaa!" Noel's voice instantly echoed in the basement. He coughed a few times as if he was still too shocked by the water.

"It seems that you have waken up now." The guy smirked.

Noel looked left and right as if he was confused with this place. At the same time, he tried to move his body but to no avail. After that, he released his Spiritual Energy but it dispersed the moment it tried to connect.

With those three facts, Noel suddenly looked at the guy who splashed him again. The middle-aged man had spiky white hair, but Noel's eyes focused on the guy's stomach.

Due to him lifting the bucket to drop the water, his shirt was tilted up, allowing Noel to find a tattoo of a skeleton head and two bright red dots as its eyes.

'Supreme Devil Organization? It's truly involved?' Noel thought.

However, the guy immediately kicked Noel in the stomach and said, "Demon Banner Army again. You are like pest!"

"Gah!" Noel coughed a few times as he was convulsing on the ground. He could hear Kirika's voice the whole time, trying to stop the man.

But the more she shouted, the bigger the smile of the middle-aged man. He started stomping Noel's body.

"Kh." Noel gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. He still acted confused as if he was unaware of his current condition.

"Heh, you're acting like a tough guy, huh. I like beating a tough guy like you!" The middle-aged man smirked.

"Who are you?" Noel tried to jump on him and hit him on the stomach with his head. However, the middle-aged man grabbed his head before that and kneed his stomach. "Gah!"

Noel dropped to the floor again and started gasping for air.
