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.

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

With great speed, the duo moved past the middle belt, flying over territories that would have taken days to traverse within minutes.Dracula had evolved to a new level, one that barely looked human anymore but had in turn gained a higher power.Soon, they were past all the rivers and swamps, and within seconds, the weather changed.Dracula and Darius landed where there was snow in all directions, with glaciers of ice on the far horizons."We are here," Darius said as they came down."This is the core of the land. The home of the cosmic spirit."Dracula was taken aback by just how beautiful the scenery was."This place is the smallest among all the regions of this land, and if what is written in the scriptures is correct, then the cosmic spirit is somewhere close by," Darius said as he looked around.Dracula could see further ahead than Darius, thanks to his enhanced vision, and in the far distance,

"What?" asked Darius in disbelief."You heard me right, young human," the old man said to him. "Neither of you is qualified to host the cosmic spirit.""Why is that so?" asked the young prince."The Spirit deems you unworthy. I hope that is enough of an explanation," the old man replied."And how do you know that?" asked the young prince."Who do you think you are talking to?" asked the old man."I've been serving in this sacred place for several centuries before your grandparents were conceived. Since the foundation of the earth was laid, I was entrusted with the task of guarding the cosmic spirit, and to do that, I had to learn its ways.So I can tell when something it approves of comes in here and when something abhorrent makes its way into this temple.And you, my friends, are the latter.I will give you each a sackful of diamonds worth enough wealth to last for multiple generations as a blessing fo
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 70 - Sinister: Lust & Fear
Pokol headed back to her quarters at the Emperor's residence almost immediately after the Empress was destroyed by the witch.Back then, after the Empress was eviscerated by the witch's white flames into powdered ashes blown away by the wind, her natural instinct was to turn and run immediately.She didn't wait to say anything to the old woman, but instinctively ran off. Whether it was fear or just her playing along while the witch ignored her, it still remains unknown. But after the Empress's death, she just couldn't stand there anymore and ran away.As she ran away, the young girl took note of it and tried to notify her grandmother about it. "Grandmother?" The young apprentice called the witch but couldn't bring herself to point at the person who was getting away. With the young girl's clear conscience, she couldn't tell her grandmother to kill another young woman the same way the Empress was just killed.The young girl hadn't seen
