Zaraki wondered why they were going without a guard and asked his Master about it."If we take a prison guard with us, you would have to kill him," he replied. "Is that what you want, Zaraki?""Why would I have to do that?" asked the butler. "Aren't there several prison guards stationed here as well? Aren't they the ones bowing to you as you walk past them? And why would I have to kill them?""If you insist that we take a prison guard with us, I will order you to kill and feed on him. I can't have too many people know what we are doing until I have revealed to everyone the glory of our new race," Dracula replied. "But if you still insist on bringing a guard, then it will be on you."Zaraki remained silent, not wanting to say anything until they reached their destination.But along the way, Dracula pressed a

Now was the time for another meeting. As usual, the nobles and senators were ready to have their discussions, and after they had come to their agreement on the important matters, they would document their conclusions and send them to the Emperor for approval.This was against custom, and it felt uncalled for that an Emperor would be this distant from the matters he should be taking care of. But nobody had the guts to call him out on that, and so, as if the Emperor were present with them, they went on with the meeting's agenda.But right when they were about to start discussions, they could hear footsteps approaching from the dark hallway behind the Emperor's throne. There was only one person who was missing from the meeting, and that was no one else but the Emperor, yet there were multiple footsteps approaching from behind the empty throne.And from behind the large seat came Dracula, and as soon as all the nobles and senators saw him, they got on their fe
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 60 - Origins XXI: Finding the Cosmic System
Just as it had been when Dracula went on his own to find the Philosopher's Stone, this time he had set out to find Cosmos, the Cosmic System.The Spirit was said to grant infinite power to the one it possessed, and Dracula wanted it for himself.He was convinced that fate was on his side, and no one could convince him otherwise. The fact that all the lines fell to him in pleasant places just so he could find the Philosopher's Stone was enough proof to show that fate was on his side.The factors that led to his success weren't all carefully planned ahead of time but fell into place so naturally that it could only be fate.Fate wanted him to reach his goals, and thanks to his success with the Philosopher's Stone, he was immortal. But that wasn't enough for him, as he also wanted to be truly invincible. Even for someone who had "immortality", he could still die from starvation and perhaps other undiscovered factors.But only as a god would h

For days, the cart went on, and when they got to a point, it stopped. At this point, most of the servants had dropped out to meet with their families in their various homelands, and it was just the rider and the master left with Dracula and his new friend, Darius."We are here," the old man said to the Duo. "I can't go any further from here. From here on out, I will be heading west, where my home is, while you will keep heading north, where the Land of the Cursed is.Now I know you have already made up your mind, but just in case, I could drive you both to my home to rest for the night so you could head back home instead of doing what you are about to do. I won't charge you extra."The Duo looked at each other and smiled."I appreciate the kind gesture, sir," Dracula said as he came down from the cart. "But we can't turn back now.""He's right," Darius said as he came down as well. "We can't forget why we came here just beca

The duo hopped and jumped from little, steep platforms until they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. And where they landed was a totally new environment. They found it hard to believe that what lay on the other side of the mountain was a barren wasteland because the place they were in looked like a typical rainforest, with vegetation that wouldn't thrive in arid conditions.Darius walked ahead, and Dracula followed, each admiring the environment around him. They could also see animals native to the area, like sloths clanging off tree branches and barpy eagles looking down at them from the top of the highest trees.What Dracula heard next was a hissing sound, and he looked around, convinced that it was a snake. Then, before him, he could see Darius turning back to him with a huge snake in his hand. It was large enough to devour him if it wanted to, and Dracula's eyes widened at the way the Prince was handling it casually."A green anaconda," he sa

Not long after they had left the open space, there was a sudden rainfall, just as the young Prince had predicted.They had walked for hours through the rainforests, and Darius's thirst only got worse. But now there was water. The sudden thunderstorm was most welcome for the young Prince, who opened both hands and widened his mouth as the sky fell. Dracula, however, felt it was a nuisance and wished he could find shade somewhere.Slowly but surely, they were finding themselves in a new environment. Now they were no longer in the rainforest but in a swamp. It was now past noon the next day, and they had both been walking for hours without resting.So far, in just a few hours, they've had irrelevant encounters with natural animals, including tigers, larger snakes, and jaguars. None of them proved threatening to them, and when they attacked, they were easily cut down and left behind, or harvested for meat and blood. At this point, Dracula felt the most uncomfo

Ino paced back and forth in her room as she thought hard about this. Just before dawn, she had woken up from a nightmare of her husband still suffering from his nightly torments. Dracula had returned with the power of the Cosmic System, as he said he would. He was now a god feared and revered by everyone in the known world. He had established himself as all he had set out to be. They now lived on the wealthiest estates the world could afford. The other two Emperors, who once stood as rivals, are now acting like prefects and ambassadors under his rule.He was the wealthiest and most powerful man in the world. Immortal to all and all-powerful to most.But yet, even with all these blessings, he was suffering.He had been having persistent nightmares of that witch troubling him in his dreams, just as it had been before he sought after the cosmic system, which gave him the powers of a god.The both of them had finally agreed that the w

Pokol and Ino sat relaxed in the large hot spring behind the castle. It had been a long morning for the Empress, and thanks to her constant worrying, she never realized just how comforting it was to be there.As she came down into the water, it felt like it went through her skin, through her muscles, and right into her bones. It was as if every nerve in her body felt the warmth of the water. It was so comfortable once she settled in that she couldn't help giving a loud moan as she rested."It feels nice, doesn't it?" asked Pokol from the other side, which was covered by a shade."It sure does," Ino replied in a blissful whisper. But her eyes remained closed, trying hard to savor the pleasures of that moment without distraction."Just between the two of us, sometimes I would abandon my job back in my province just so I could enjoy this," she said. "But you act like this is your first time being here. When we stepped outside, you were looking around

"I don't mean to tease you, your excellency," Pokol said. "But what changed your mind so suddenly? Another bad hallucination?""I'm coming in," Ino said as she walked into the room without the general's permission."Sure, go on without my permission. It's alright," Pokol said, rolling her eyes as the Empress walked in. She rested on the wall where the window was and naturally felt like opening it."Are you trying to tease me right now for not having immunity to sunlight like you do, or are you truly trying to burn me to a crisp?" asked Pokol with a raised brow. The sun was still up in the sky at this time, although it was approaching sunset."Pardon me," Ino said as she sat on Pokol's bed. The general leaned against the wall closest to the bed, indicating that she was ready to talk."Alright then, start talking," Ino said to her, and Pokol gave her a look, which somehow indicated that she didn't know what the Empress was talking about.

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

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

"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

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

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

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

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

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.

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
