"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
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 71 - Sinister II: Dracula's Return
The last time Pokol left for Val-d'Oise was on a carriage, but this time it was on horseback. She was accompanied by Valise and Zaraki, both riding on separate horses.In less than an hour, riding at full speed, they made it to the village. Pokol showed them the open fields where the Empress had died, and it still had onlookers trying to make more sense of the situation by finding clues at the spot where the Empress was eviscerated."I suppose too many people witnessed the event," Zaraki said, taking note of the several people who were there. "Do you think they may have known who died in the fire?""I don't think so," Pokol said. "I hope they don't.""That would be nice of you. At times like this, it's best to assume the worst-case scenario just to be safe.There is no way one bystander wouldn't figure out that the person who just died was the Empress, given how her portraits and figurines have been scattered throughout the Empire ever si
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 72 - Sinister III: Preparation
"We are dead," Pokol said right after the sinister figure whooshed above the town of Val-d'Oise, heading straight to Brannuka. No doubt Strego was at the castle, ready to delight in the moment of Dracula's return so he could give him the news of what happened to his wife.Pokol fell on her knees and began to cry, calling down curses upon herself. With her sharp talons, she began to scratch herself, causing severe bleeding injuries everywhere. But contrary to what she wanted, all the injuries kept closing up.She wanted to die, but her body wasn't letting her. She even began trying to slit her throat. But before she could land an effective blow upon herself, Vasile held both of her hands very tightly until her talons were withdrawn and then held her close.He tried to comfort her, rubbing one hand on her back and using the other to stroke her hair as she cried out loud in terror."Don't worry!" he said. "I swear by my life as a Ketsuki that I will

Nobuharu was seated alone in his room, feeling bored out of life. The province he had been lording over wasn't all that interesting, as it had little to no criminal activity. This meant that there was almost nobody to feed on, and having to patrol the streets while trying to stop himself from killing unnecessarily wasn't his style.That was why he barely spent time in that province, as there was very little to supervise and very little fun to have when there was nobody to kill. He now spent most of his time, like Pokol, at the Royal province, spending his free time at the castle. Though he had been feeding to his fill on the blood of the castle's prisoners, it was no longer satisfactory. He wanted something more. Blood tasted differently for Ketsuki based on the type of human they consumed. And for Nobuharu, the blood of criminals had begun to leave a bad taste in his mouth. He had become so used to it that consuming it now almost irritated him.
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity Chapter 74 - Sinister V: Dracula's Death
Dracula obliterated the house of the witch but couldn't find signs of anyone there.Of course, they had gotten away. That was what Vasile and Zaraki had gotten involved in. They had taken the witch and Pokol someplace else, someplace far away.If they were anywhere close by, he would have known about it, thanks to his enhanced senses. But he couldn't sense any Ketsuki anywhere near the vicinity, so they had definitely fled someplace far away.But they wouldn't be able to get away from him. Not for long. He would find them. And he would kill them all in the slowest and most painful way for what they had done to him.It was only a matter of time. As he and the others go on their rampage to slaughter all humans and convert all who remain, they will inevitably meet again. And they would surely pay dearly.These were the thoughts Dracula had, but his imagination came to a quick halt when he heard a familiar voice calling his name

Dracula now lay on the ground, with multiple stakes driven through his body. One was driven through his throat, another through his heart, and another through his brain.By all metrics, Lord Dracula was dead—or at least, that was what it seemed like.The young Vasile looked at Zaraki and the witch with a smile on his face. But the witch instead responded with a strange frown. It was as if it were weird for him to be happy that Dracula had been defeated, and it made no sense to him."Why are you smiling?" she asked. "You aren't naive enough to think that he is dead, are you?"Vasile's smile faded to obscurity the moment he heard this question. And he looked at Zaraki. He could see that the old butler also shared the same sentiment. He didn't look happy about it, although he seemed to be a tad relieved that everything went according to plan."Then what is going on with him?" asked Vasile. "He clearly has no pulse, and his body is turning co

Strego opened his eyes and found himself in the throne room. The dim yet natural illumination of the hall through the closed windows showed that it was daytime.The last thing he remembered was somewhat of a dream. A world where he was free to do as he wanted. But when he woke up, it just felt right. Not because he felt better being as he was right now, but because it was too good to be true. So, of course, it had to be a dream—a world where he was free to molest and abuse as many women as he wanted. No way would that be the real world—not by a long shot.But his memories became clearer once he saw Nobuharu lying unconscious beside him. The clothes he wore correlated with some of his memories from the so-called dream.Wasn't it just a dream?Then he heard a voice, and that voice brought the highest clarity to his mind. It turned out he wasn't a dean after all. "Strego! You have finally woken up," the voice said. Strego remembered that
Cosmic System: Road To Eternity 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

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.
