Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 22 - Leaving Home
Asuka, Aya and Daisuke had made up their mind on what next to do. They weren't going to just sit back and wait for the people to mistreat them for what happened. They would do what had to be done, without being told. As one, the trio went to the main square of the village, where everyone gathered to honour the dead. All the corpses were piled up, and the stench of blood and freshly rotten flesh filled the area. The trio stood among them, setting aside their weapons to show respect for the dead, joining the others in observing the moment of silence while the village chief was being handed the torch by Hiroshi. The chief took the torch and raised it up in front of everyone. "The lives of these elves shall never be forgotten. Their sacrifices are not in vain, and shall never be", the chief said as he put the flaming torch on the bundles of hay underneath the bodies, and it was set ablaze immediately. The fire slo
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 23 - A Powerful Meal
Coming down the Highlands that marked the Jinro territory, they began walking around with more discretion. It was still mating season for dragons, and those flying beasts could be seen circling the sky every few minutes, with males sparring in the skies over the cave of a female to establish who would mate. This happened in multiple places, almost everywhere they found a cave, they would find several male dragons duking it out several feet above. It was an exciting sight, and if this were happening over a week ago, Asuka and Aya would have been delighted to see them, knowing that several nests of dragon eggs would be found nearby. But that wasn't the case this time, as they had new aspirations and ambitions. They walked for a few more hours, and it was well past noon, approaching evening. Now they had to find a place to rest soon, preferably a place where they could set a huge enough campfire that would deter the Ketsuki shoul
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 24 - Dark Mode
The Ketsuki began parrying all of Daisuke's blows with his obvious excitement growing each time the human swung his sword against him. What frustrated Daisuke was that in order for him to properly adapt in this fight, he would have to score a chain combo, but this enemy wasn't even letting him lay a scratch. After about five attempts to take down the Ketsuki, Nobuharu would counter by landing a blow that would send Daisuke flying off. Then Daisuke would struggle to get up again to fight with greater force, only to get hit again after a few consecutive misses. "Oh my! And here I was getting all excited about this" the Ketsuki said. "You are starting to bore me." While Daisuke was busy with Nobuharu, Aya had gone to check on her sister. Asuka's head was bleeding severely, so much so that Aya had to cover her injury with something to avoid further loss of blood. "Come on, sister" Aya said. "You are tougher than this,
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 25 - Nobuharu, Defeated
The Ketsuki morphed into a monstrous form which almost resembled that of a bat, and gave a loud screech that was deafening to the ears. The ketsuki was now massive in size, being over nine feet tall. What seemed to be wings could be seen webbing the space from his arm to his waist. Sharp fur grew from his back and his ears became even more pointed than before. His fangs now hung out of his mouth like tusks, and his teeth had grown so large that his mouth couldn't cover it anymore. He looked like an instant combination of a bat and an elf - only three times as large and ferocious. Due to the sudden growth, his skin had cracked at multiple areas, and not even his instant regeneration could keep up, as this instant transformation had famished him. He needed to feed, he needed blood, and fast. Looking at Daisuke, he lunged at him hungrily, with saliva drooling from his mouth as he moved swiftly. Daisuke also jumped
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 26 - Elves Outside the Village
Daisuke had a strange assurance that everything was going to be alright. That the system had his back no matter what. That come what may, nothing would ever take him unaware without the system helping him with it. Asuka had just caught their dinner, a vibrant looking rabbit that unfortunately came close to where they were after the Ketsuki had been defeated. For a while they wondered what such a creature was doing out in the wild at such a dark hour. But they took it as providence, thankful they would have the chance to eat meat tonight and save the grain given to them by Ronin for a later time. Aya set the fire while Asuka kept whining and speculating about how Daisuke defeated the Ketsuki. She came up with different theories from hilarious to outright stupid. The young man couldn't help but smile as he saw Asuka going on and on while Aya barely paid heed to what she was saying. Aya had opened up the dead animal, pulling out most of the
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 27 - A Promised One
Daisuke woke from his slumber as he felt a sudden cold rush through his body. He was panting heavily. Apparently, he had just been soaked in water, and before him he could see Satoru squatting with an empty wet bowl dripping out. "You are finally awake" Satoru said as he stood and turned away. Daisuke noticed that he was tied up with very strong ropes to a tree behind him. The ropes were tied so tightly that taking a long breath felt impossible. "Took you long enough, handsome" Asuka said from the other side of the tree. "Asuka?" Daisuke called. "Wait, what of Aya?" "I'm right beside you, though we can barely see each other", Asuka's sister said from another side of the tree, almost parallel to him. "And stop trying to free yourself, you are hurting us both." All three of them were tied to the large tree, each facing the opposite direction, and barely able to see each other thanks to the large and th
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 28 - Elves, Jinro & Ketsuki
Mikasa took a deep breath as she began to explain to them. "As you all can tell, I and the others are elves. Those two outside are Ketsuki. However that doesn't mean that I support their race. But before that, I will talk about our race for a bit", she said, keeping Daisuke and the other's attention glued to her. "We once lived in the elven village with the other elves, but that was almost half a century ago. I personally had never been there, but my grandparents were", she said. "It wasn't recently when the Jinro had started oppressing the elves. It had lasted for over a century, and our grandparents couldn't take it anymore. True rebels by nature, they couldn't stay silent for much long. The Jinro were oppressing us, and our grandparents couldn't have it. They wanted to revolt, while the village chief and the others were too conservative about it. They couldn't take it anymore, and they decided that they would go on their own to fight against the Jinr
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 29 - Mikasa
"Ah?" asked Asuka, looking at Daisuke with a sudden frown as she grabbed his ear, instantly squeezing and drawing it so hard that he almost cried out. "Don't go making decisions like that without confiding in us first." Daisuke held on to his reddened ear. "I'm not forcing you to join us. In fact, I would love it if the both of you sit this one out and head back to the village to live safely under Master Ronin." "And you think we would let you go without us?" asked Aya with a smile. "What do you take us for?" "What are you both angry about?" Daisuke asked, apparently confused about whether they wanted him to go or not, with or without them. "If you wanted to leave with me, then why are either of you complaining?" "You three seem to be enjoying yourselves" Mikasa said, taking note of their childish bickering. Then she stared at the ground while twiddlung her thumbs, as if remembering something she didn't want to. "I miss thos

Chapter 85 - Epilogue: Road to Eternity
Thanks to Daisuke's newfound strength, Satoru, Mikasa, and Hina were rescued from the debris. Hina was the one in critical condition, with her head severely hit. She was breathing, but there was no sign she would remain that way for long, while Mikasa's two legs were crushed.Like Daisuke some minutes ago, Satoru's back was fractured as well. He could barely stand without crying out. Instinctively, Daisuke placed his hands on each of them, and just by channeling some of his magical energy into them, they were healed.Daisuke got to his feet and looked around him. He shut his eyes and stretched forth his hands, and several piles of rubble went up in the air. Then, from the crevices beneath the rubble, several slave goblins, outcasts, and elves crawled out, all severely injured. All of them were injured by the debris that had covered him.A visible blue aura emanated from Daisuke's body and swept through the entire region. It was warm to everyone who came into contact with it, and all w
Chapter 84 - Climax V: Dracula's Destruction
When Daisuke gave his loud shout, full of despair and desperation, he noticed something odd. He was still shouting but couldn't hear himself anymore.He looked around him, and it seemed like time went still for that moment. He also noticed that he could move his body without feeling any pain, and so he quickly got up, not having the strength to worry about how that was so. This just had to be the system giving him a chance to save Asuka. Perhaps he was right in trusting that the system would help him at a time like this.He had to save Asuka somehow, but when he tried to get a hold of Dracula's arm, his hands passed through it.He also noticed that he couldn't touch Asuka either. Even the ground didn't feel all that firm now that he thought about it. And when he looked at Dracula's feet, he could see his pathetic human body still clutching on to Dracula as if that was going to accomplish anything.Just as he thought, it had to be the system. It had brought him to another dimension of t
Chapter 83 - Climax IV: Dracula's Rage
"Rachel?" Daisuke called the system telepathically.Yes, Daisuke?" replied the system.How many healing vials do I have left?" he asked.Six," the system replied.With those six, what are the odds that I will survive this?" asked Daisuke. the system put on a transparent holographic screen.And yet you put me up against him?" asked Daisuke. "Are you trying to kill me or what?"Failure to complete your mission will have dire consequences," the system replied. "I would recommend that you proceed immediately. Or does this make you want to give up?"Not a chance," Daisuke said with an angry smile. "I trust you. Just administer the vials whenever you deem appropriate, alright? And don't manifest them as vials in my hands, but just as liquid in my mouth to save time."Sure thing, Daisuke," the system replied.Then the first healing vial was administered, with only the fluid substantiating in his mouth. A sudden surge of strength came to Daisuke as he stood before Dracula.The powerful K
Chapter 82 - Climax III: Dracula's Resurrection; Fiery Devastation
It was noontime, and things were going just as expected. Lord Vlad and the other Ketsuki had gone to bed, anticipating waking up by nightfall, when they would be at their most active.However, this was the moment when Kabuto was the most awake. Unlike other days, he wasn't preparing for his daily siesta. He had to be watchful and vigilant, as it was time for him to do as planned. Daisuke and his friends should be waiting for him outside the castle, not on standby for the signal. But first, he made sure that every member of the Ketsuki was stuck at their quarters without a reason to come out anytime soon.He checked and discovered that all the ketsuki had gone to sleep. However, Strego was still awake, but it was expected. Unlike the others, he wasn't purely nocturnal. Just like elves and goblins, he preferred to be active most of the day and rest during part of the night.However, he was still stuck in his room, enjoying the comfort of a terrified female elf.With everyone distracted
Chapter 81 - Climax II: Faith
Following the old hag's instructions, instead of getting more sleep after she had disappeared, Kabuto put on some clothes and went out.He got down to the stars of the castle and headed out to the open. He passed through the streets of the city. There, he could see a lot of goblins and elves working very hard, with a few Ketsuki watching and supervising them as slave masters.As they worked, they would frown at Kabuto whenever he walked past them. But once their eyes locked, the poor slaves would get a heavy lash on their backs from their supervisors for getting distracted. This wasn't the first time he had seen this, and it was a grim reminder of how jacked up the city was. Seeing this motivated him to keep up with what he was doing, putting to rest all the voices of doubt in his mind.He walked on two feet, as taking animal transportation was uncommon on the land. After almost an hour of walking, he finally arrived at the slums. He got to the house of his family and knocked several
Chapter 80 - Climax: Korah Reappears
It had now been over three centuries since Dracula's defeat, and Brannuka was thriving at its peak. The barrier was still thriving, and thanks to the unlimited life force within the sleeping Dark Emperor, the Ketsuki no longer lived in fear of the sun.The elves had reproduced in the hundreds, ensuring an adequate supply of blood for the Ketsuki.Thanks to the slavery of the powerful goblins, the walls of the city had been completed in such a way that allowed for only one entrance into and out of the city through the front gates.All the slaved outcasts were doing their jobs perfectly, bringing all the much-needed resources from outside the city during the day when it was most dangerous for the purebreeds.The economy was at its all-time highest, and no Ketsuki within the walls lacked anything, as they could move about in broad daylight thanks to the magical barrier that surrounded the city. They had all the rights and freedoms that the elves, goblins, and outcasts could only dream of
Chapter 79 - Rebound V: Back to the Present
Just as planned, by the next evening, Vasile had assembled all of the Ketsuki, ready to send them off on their mission. They would be going in pairs to the two different empires to take down the Emperor and scatter their regions.He told me about the shield and how it came into being. And all the other Ketsuki were surprised that Dracula's body was tight in the castle. But it explained the suddenly grim aura that has filled the castle ever since that shield came up. And it was almost frightening for them to know that the castle would be like this forever.He had announced to them earlier that they would have new names. These would be the names the masses would know them as. They would each have a name that originally belonged to Lord Dracula to honor his memory. It was a big deal to the Ketsuki, and they each wanted to have a name that once belonged to the most powerful Ketsuki to ever live.Right there and then, he declared the new names for himself and t
Chapter 78 - Rebound IV: The New Age
The next morning, Vasile took his time to introduce Sinbad to the other Ketsuki.At first, they weren't all that impressed, but his charisma won them all with only a few verbal exchanges. Nobuharu hated the way he looked and tried provoking him into a fight. But the new Ketsuki's kind words threw him off guard in such a way that the others almost laughed at him.Because of that, Nobuharu never liked him but also didn't hate him.Pokol was impressed by his charm and charisma. But unfortunately, her heart had already been stolen by Vasile. But it was too bad that the new Emperor seemed to see her as a little sister, even though her heart ached for her to mean more to him.Strego, however, was the most impressed by the new Ketsuki and wanted to truly get to know him. Though he wasn't much of a pretty boy like Strego, his face somehow still demanded the same level of attention, and his outlook naturally drew respect from all who gazed upon him.
Chapter 77 - Rebound III: A New Era
Vasile was with Zaraki, brainstorming through all the conclusions he had come up with throughout the day.They had to take their time to find out what was and was not going to work as new policies for the Ketsuki.They discussed and debated about it for a while, and before they could tell what the time was, midnight was already far past. It was less than three hours before sunrise, and yet there were a lot of things to cover.Zaraki's wisdom amazed Vasile, and what he thought would have taken only a few minutes and, at most, an hour to get through took a lot more time than expected. There were a lot of loopholes in his judgments, and Zaraki could easily spot and correct them. And each time Vasile conceded a point that was proven foolish by Zaraki, he felt all the more stupid that it took a whole day to come up with such bad conclusions.It was as if, with every time Vasile spelled out his proposal, Zaraki would come up with an instant rebuttal and
