After hearing their praises a thought came to my mind, I just wanted to say sorry to god for everything I have said earlier the pain was worth it and thank you for giving me this opportunity and as if reading my mind the system responded.
[Fate point: 0à10]
My fate points increased from 0 to 10, I don’t know what they do but thanks anyway.
“Hey system, what does fate points do?” I asked system.
<Reach Lvl. 05 to unlock the information>
“Then how should I level up?” I asked once again.
<Kill some beast, demons or humans>
When system replied I understood one thing that something was definitely wrong this system but my thought was disrupted by the sudden arrival of a guard.
“Your majesty, the message has arrived from the grand palace and we have prepared the teleportation gate as you instructed.” He said and my worries vanished.
“Oh they are quite eager to meet our little prince, the message arrived sooner than I expected, let’s go everyone.” King took the lead and everyone followed behind him.
I wonder who the guests are for king to go and meet them personally but more guest means more praises I was more than happy to meet them, after all who knows they may discover some more extraordinary hidden talent inside my body.
The king walked deep underground castle followed by others and the whole time my mouth was agape in awe at the looks of majestic castle. It was way grand than what I have seen in the movies and anime. The technology in this world doesn’t seem to have progressed much compared to my previous world but they seem to have pursued a different path to developing society.
We arrived at the deepest part of the palace because king himself said this to the legendary mage cleric who seemed ignorant of palace’s structure which meant he was not the part of the royal palace.
Underground the palace; king opened a golden door inside of which a portal was emitting a white light mixed with green threads.
“Your majesty, it would not be wise to take her majesty the queen with us, the place will not suit her.” The Legendary swordsman Ronald said to king and I had confused look on my face as to which type of place are we going.
“But in the invitation the name of queen was also mentioned, what if he gets offended because of absence of queen?” King argued.
“I agree with Ronald’s suggestion your majesty, we will make some excuse.” The guardian also agreed.
“Very well, Isabella you should go back to your room and wait for us.” The king spoke and the queen left before giving me a mischievous smile which I didn’t understand.
The king surrounded me with a layer of mana which looked like a bubble maybe to protect me from the effect of teleportation and entered the portal.
My vision blurred and I felt little hallucination but didn’t pass out due to the Training/Torture I have received from the system.
It took few second for me to regain my vision back and when I looked around from inside the bubble I was in a huge throne room which had no walls surrounding it and was floating in an empty space. It was more majestic than the one I had seen in the hobbit movie where that dwarf king sat with arcane stone.
There were 2 floating seats on each sides of the throne room where 4 demons sat, they were not human but demon and when I looked behind me I saw all the powerful humans who came with me bend their knees looking down at the floor their heads bowed toward the center of the throne room.
The king was half bowed and was looking ahead toward the throne which was in the center of the room respectfully. On that throne a black burly figure sat with bored expression on his face. He was a demon but nevertheless handsome beyond anything I have seen and seemed to be in his 30s.
The air around him was so heavy that it was becoming difficult for me to breathe even inside the bubble. When king Alfred bowed the demon didn’t even looked at him but I had a very bad feeling about this whole situation and as to confirm that hypothesis I did the only thing I could do ‘Status check’.
[Name: ???? (Demon King)]
[Level: ???]
[Age: ???]
[Other information can’t be analyzed because host’s level is too low.]
I felt my soul escape my body and rubbed my eyes to see whether I was seeing a dream but it was reality. Wake up you ‘Bastard system’, I shouted on top of my lungs.
<10 Fate point has been deducted from host’s account for disturbing the system Slee…. synchronization>
<10 minutes electric shock penalty will be given to the host if the same actions are repeate…>
‘Look in front of you, you bastard system.’ I said cutting him between his speech the bastard was sleeping while the demon king is in front of me.
<………..>
<………..>
<………..>
<Demon king detected, host is too weak to face demon king right now, emergency measures are being deployed>
<Teleporting host to the predetermined safe location>
Seeing the notification a relieved smile appeared on my lips which disappeared the next second when demon king looked at me curiously and snapped his fingers.
<High level spacial fluctuation has been detected teleportation failed…>
<No other safety measures are available>
[Emergency mission has been issued]
[Defeat/Escape from the Demon king]
[Difficulty: Infinity]
[Rank: SSSSS….]
[Time limit: ????]
[Reward: ???]
[Penalty: Death]
<Due to lack of mana in the surrounding, system will shut down until the mission is complete>
How can this bastard leave me at such a crucial moment but then I thought, that is what the system and these gods have been doing till now. Think Eric think how you can survive this ordeal. I can’t even walk so escaping is impossible. My own bastard fathers and bitch mother has sold me out, fuck if I could make it alive out of here I will kill you both first remember my words.
Yes there is one way, this demon king is definitely smart because he was able to block my escape route by reading my thoughts. ‘If I plead him for my life and swear my allegiance to him I will at least be able to survive.’ I said out loud and system woke up from his slumber.
<For going against god’s will 50 fate point has been deducted>
<Fate points: -50>
“Fuck you and your fate points.” I roared once again.
<Host will be given electri…>
“Shut up you bastard, I will be pretending to pledge my allegiance until I find a way to escape from here.” I said once again.
<System is shutting down>
Bastard ran away once again and didn’t even reimburse the fate point; it is not the time to think about this.
“It is a good strategy considering your situation but I don’t have any intention of raising a parasite by my side, on the other hand if I use you as a sacrifice I will gain tremendous strength and support from demon gods.” He said out loud as If he can read all my thoughts.
“Your mental defense is non-existing right now, so obviously I can read your thoughts.” He stood up from his throne and started walking in my direction.
Now that he was standing I could clearly see his features, he was 15 feet tall with golden eyes and four horns protruding from his head. He wore a black armor which covered his whole body with diamond like scale; I was not even sure whether it was his skin or armor.
But one thing I was sure of was that he is the most powerful being I have ever meet, more powerful than that angel sylph and other angels whom I met few days ago because each step he took in my direction the humans behind me dug deep in the ground.
“You are one peculiar human; even in front of your death you are curious about my skin and armor.” He said nearing me.
“To satisfy your curiosity, this is not armor but dragon scales, because what stands before you is not a normal demon but a draconic demon king.” Saying this he transformed into a black 50 meter huge black dragon and roared.
‘I am dead.’ This was the first time I have seen a dragon in my life but what I was seeing in front of me was not dragon but ‘Death’.
“And of course to answer your second question I am 100 times stronger than any angel you have encountered before coming here, I am the direct apostle of demon god.” He said transforming back to his humanoid demon form.
He is an apostle of demon gods, which means…
“Yes, you have come 100 year late to save this world my nemesis; I have already conquered this world, everything here belongs to me and demon gods now.” He said encircling me.
“Ohh, immortal physique quite interesting, I would have loved to have you as my subordinate with your talent you would have easily surpassed all the dukes siting here in this room but I can’t take you in because of that parasite attached to you known as ‘System’.” He said and what is with this immortal physique, didn’t I have an ethereal physique, I thought.
“Which idiot said you have the ethereal physic?” The demon king looked at me and asked me reading my thoughts and I turned toward the bastard Ronald the legendary swordsman and my real father. “Ohh.” Saying this he turned to look at Ronald and Ronald slumped back on his place. The demon king snapped his finger and a gale of wind shot out from his finger which cut down one hand of Ronald but he didn’t retort while rest of the audience had sweat forming on their forehead.‘Legendary swordsman my ass he is not even an ant in front of demon king, at least demon king consider me a threat but dude you are lower than me.’ I thought as I looked at the fallen hand of legendary swordsman Ronald.I don’t know why but I felt a sense of relief from the demon kings actions, if he could just kill all 4 of them I would have less regret before dying.“I can kill them whenever I want without lifting a finger but they still have use for me, so I have to turn down your request.” He said dude stop peekin
A familiar sensation woke me up from my slumber and a familiar holographic screen welcomes me back to hell.Why did this bastard have to wake me up this early damn it, I would have preferred to die while sleeping or I can ask demon king to send me off without pain, yeah he seemed a reasonable guy he will do that much for me at least, but I have seen in movies that sacrificial rituals related to souls are one of the most painful death experience and I have recently experienced one when that angel merged the system with my soul.All type of thoughts flooded my mind knowing that after doing all short of ass licking I was still going to die, I thought that I should have died in the god’s trial instead at least I would have received a painless death.No, I will not accept my death this e
My whole body felt rigid as I teleported away from the demon kings territory. I did whatever I could to keep myself conscious but then a voice resounded in my ears which swept all my worries away and I closed my eyes. ‘No need to push yourself, you are safe now, we will talk when you have recovered from your trauma.” Merlin said to me and I complied because I could sense that whatever he was saying was all true. As I floated in the dark abyss for the nth time in the last week, it was the 1st time I slept soundly. *** “Wake up brat, how long do you plan to sleep?” I heard merlin’s voice and woke. Looking at my surrounding I understood, I was stranded in the forest and it was still dark. There was nothing other than trees surrounding me but I could hear a voice of water flowing somewhere nearby and chirping of various birds. “How long was I passed out?” I asked. “For more than 24 hour.” He replied. “Thank you for saving me, benefactor merlin, I will definitely repay this debt in
‘I need some time to think.’ I said.‘How many gods have you slain till now?’ I asked curiously.‘I have slain 21 gods and while fighting them 34 hosts have died.’ He answered me truthfully.So it won’t be an easy task but I didn’t find anything wrong in what merlin was doing. If it wasn’t for those gods intervention I would have been enjoying my life on earth, I too want to kill them all but I have to think more practically before making my decision.‘How did you end up in the dungeon of Demon king, if you were this strong?’ I asked.‘The current demon king Diablo/Lucifer was a 68th god slaying candidate selected by me but on the day of our decisive battle he bowed his head to the power of demon god who governed this planet and become his apostle.Before the demon god could kill me, I sealed myself at the expense of huge amount of Fate point until the right candidate arrives and thus the demon king Diablo/Lucifer threw me into the deepest dungeon of his castle, by the way he has been
“So what did you find in his memories?” I asked just in case.‘Maybe answers to 90% of your questions.’ Merlin replied.‘Accept the debt because it is the information which will help you make your decision.’ Merlin’s words made me curious as to what he has discovered.“Let me tell you everything from the start, first why you were selected among the people to be abducted from earth and in order to understand the reason you will need to know what Fate point is.Fate point is a type of universal currency, a mortal earns fate point from universe depending on certain actions he perform and when that mortal becomes a follower of god, he share the portion of Fate point with gods. Even if the person dies the total fate point is not transferred to god but carried forward with the soul of that person and transferred to him when his soul reincarnates.” He said.“So all gods are greedy fools who want to be rich, but what does gods give us in retur
“Merlin, I have made my decision.” I said.“Are you sure?” He once again asked me.“Yes, never been more sure about anything in my whole life, but are you just going to work with me, considering the fight which is ahead of us aren’t you going to test my talent or aptitude or something like that?” I questioned him.“Then tell me, what qualification should I expect in a two day old baby?” he asked and I shut my mouth.“Your mind is that of a 22 year old teenager and it will help us greatly in overcoming the learning curve but your body is far from ready, if in future I feel like you are not competent enough to do the job, we will part ways.” He said truth without caring about my feeling throwing straight facts at me.“The current situation require us to work together, you may not have realized it but we both are equally dependent on each other, if I separate from your body I won’t be able to maintain my form even for a single day and my soul will disintegrate into nothingness.” He said
We both stared at the astronomical number of Fate point begging to be used in my status window for few minutes not saying anything but then I broke the silence.“Can I use the fate points to kill the demon king?” I asked merlin.“Fate points cannot be used to harm any mortal beings or gods.” Merlin said.“But those angels used fate point to abduct us and perform a mass genocide; there must be some loophole in the system from which we can benefit.” I said.“They used fate point to abduct you but killed the humans with their own strength, you can also bring demon king here using fate point but you have to kill him with your own power.” Merlin said.“There are many loophole in the system designed by the universe and whenever someone tries to make profit out of those loopholes the universe always takes action against them, I am curious what method did gods employ to avoid the universe penalty.” Merlin said.“But let’s not think about that now and move to somewhere else and decide how to u
“Ahhhhhh”*Thudd*“Ouch”“Sorry the calculation was little off so we teleported few feet above ground, this is one of the problem of inter dimensional teleportation.” Merlin said while my ears rang continuously with a whistle like sound and there were bruises on my little hands and feet because of our rough landing which started to heal as soon as they appeared and the pain vanished within seconds.“This body is amazing.” I said amazed to see my wounds regenerate because ordinarily it would have taken few days to heal if I was in my previous body.“Wait till you start your training and figure out more quirks about your body.” He said and my hopes shot through the roof of a cave we were in.“So you said something about the using Fate point and upgrading me, what do you have in mind?” When I mentioned about upgrade various windows appeared before me.[Shop][Skill: Click to expand][Weapon: Click to expand][Familiar: Click to expand][Beast core: Click to expand][???: Unlock at Lvl. 5
