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

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
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 64 - Origins XXV: Source of Nightmares
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.

That night, as usual for all the nights the Emperor had been absent, the Empress could not sleep. It was the same nightmare that had always plagued the Emperor's mind when he was with her. Now those plagues were hunting her, and it almost made her suspect the castle was haunted.She got out of bed, panting and sweating. It was now almost nighttime, which was the active time of the day for Ketsuki.So at least she had managed to sleep well.She washed her face and got ready to dip herself in the hot springs and the backyard of the castle's ground floor.It was the perfect rest she needed for herself right now, and she couldn't wait to dip herself in that beautiful gift of nature, which so happened to be where she lived.She prepared her towels and bathing lotions, ready to take her bath first before heading there. But before she could leave the room, she heard a firm knock coming from the door.She asked who it was, and when she h
