As time passed, the intense vision disappeared, and the entire world remained silent as Damon walked out of the room.
" Damon Rivelea, Divine Grade 5 Star Mana Talent and Divine Grade 5 Star World Spiritist Talent."
At those words, the entire awakening square was in pin-drop silence. The host's voice fell onto the ears of the entire awakening square, sending them into completely silence due to shock.
All of their gazes at Damon turned from curiosity to admiration and reverence. At this moment, the name Damon Rivelea would be etched into the memory of everyone present there.
"Divine 5 Star Mana and World Spiritist, INCREDIBLE!"
"As expected of the Son of the Grand Marshall, the highest talent possible."
Everyone in the crowd was discussing, with envy in their voices, and the eyes of the girls in the crowd were glittering with an emotion slightly different from admiration, especially the Divine Demon Princess, Sonna Rivelea, whose eyes were wide from shock and intense admiration, with a hint of lust.
However, two person's faces were very ugly, not in looks but in expression, they were the pair of Dragon's that had attended the ceremony, Damon's family on his father's side, Varus Flandre, and his son, Antares Flandre and they looked furious.
Antares Flandre was especially angry, his face violently red with anger as his eyes glowed in annoyance. When he saw Sonna Rivelea looking at Damon with such admiration, he almost flew to Damon to kill Damon himself, but was hurriedly held back by his father who also had an ugly face.
"Calm down, If we make a scene here, everything we did will be revealed." Varus telepathically spoke to Antares as he stopped the boy from doing anything further, but Antares' anger still couldn't be squashed.
"DAMN! DAMN! DAMMNIT!! That slut ignored me and pushed me away even when I awakened Divine 2 Star Mana and Immortal 4 Star World Spiritist, yet she's looking at him like a dumb bimbo. Besides, how the fuck is his talent so high, this should be impossible. I'll get the Dragon Shadows to make that bastard PAY!" Antares thought in anger, he couldn't believe the situation.
When Antares met Sonna for the first time, he was hypnotised by her intense beauty. As a Dragon, he had immense lust and could barely hold himself back seeing such a beautiful woman, yet couldn't take action due to her background as the only child of the Divine Demon Emperor. Still, he showered Sonna in gifts and affection and worked closely with his father in an attempt, eventually hoping to marry her and take over the Divine Demon Empire.
Yet, she never gave him any attention and actively stayed away from him, making him infuriated, yet now she was showing so much affection to a man she just met. Worst yet, with Damon having so much talent and being half dragon-half demon, he could not only marry Sonna ( Incest aside from siblings and parents doesn't matter ), but he could also run for heir of the Dragon Family. This could massively endanger the plan Varus and Antares had since Antares Birth.
Antares calmed himself down and schemed for the future, wanting to kill Damon. However, aside from Damon, spies from other races and factions also schemed in the dark. Although on the surface, all of the races were banded together to battle the Abyss, in the dark, many of the races were not friendly with eachother, especially the Demon's due to their battle hungry and viscous nature, making their relations with other races very tough.
Also, if one race has too many powerhouses, the balance of power between the various races and factions will be tilted. The Divine Demon Emperor and Sapphire Rivelea, were already in the top 3 most powerful beings in the world, not counting the Abyss. If Damon was now allowed to grow up, the Demon Race would be unstoppable among the Council Of Races.
The only races who the Demon Race had very close relations to were the Fallen Angels and the Elves. The Demon Race had always had very close relations to the Fallen Angels, as the original Primordial Demon Lilith had a strong alliance with the Primordial Fallen Angel, Lucifer, leading the two powerful races to be allied since their inception.
However, the Elven Races alliance with the Demons came much later, although most would expect the Elves, being a race of nature and serenity would be opposed to the Demon Race, but Sapphire Rivelea had saved the Elven Queen on an expedition when they were younger, leading to the gap between races to be bridged, and over the years, the two races had cooperated on much more occassions.
If the Demon Race was able to have 3 Top Tier powerhouses and cooperate with the Fallen Angel and Elven Race, they would dominate the Council Of Races, which other factions couldn't allow.
Meanwhile, Damon was simply enjoying the breath of fresh air. As he fully completed his awakening, Damon felt the incomparably powerful mana that originated from the Primordial Chaos all around him. This form of mana had been silent for millions of years or longer. This was the oldest, purest and most powerful form of mana in the entirety of existence and now Damon could influence it directly, as Damon grew higher in cultivation, he would become incomparibly more powerful than those in the same tier.
Similarly Damon could also feel the Aether and his inherited powers from Ashborn. The Aether felt incredible, the power felt so intensely pure and could directly influence the world. Damon's mind felt immensely clear and his soul felt freed.
Also Damon felt that even with no cultivation level as of yet, he could already manipulate the shadows and darkness, alongside the light from his ruler powers. Due to Damon having access to the Primordial Chaos Mana, his Shadows would slightly increase in power when extracted instead of decreasing in power.
Damon felt all of this and calmed down. He turned and gazed towards his mother, Sapphire Rivelea, the Demon Grand Duchess and Grand Marshall. Damon could see the immense pride and satisfaction in her face. Her elegant and imposing demeanor remained to most, but for Damon, she was just proud to be his mother.
Since birth, Sapphire had provided Damon with whatever he wanted, allowing him to grow up in peace and luxury, and Damon was happy to make her proud. Although this was his second life, Damon truly saw Sapphire as his mother.
Damon glanced towards the others and saw the ugly faces of Varus and Antares Flandre, remembering to remember and investigate why they were unhappy.
Damon bowed to the crowd and walked back to the waiting area, attracting the gazes of everyone. These gazes ranged from curiousity, to admiration, to envy and anger, yet Damon simply ignored the all. Now that the awakening ceremony was finished, Karthus had returning to the stage.
"This brings an end to the Awakening Ceremony. Congratulations to everyone who awakened. Please remember this is only the beginning of your journey and all of you would need great diligence and luck to become true powerhouses. Good luck on your journies as I hope everyone here makes the Demon Race proud." Karthus' words boomed across the arena and all the spectators gave a round of applause to congratulate all the awakened Demons.
Now with the Awakening Ceremony officially completed, Damon looked around, he could spot Sonna Rivelea immediately leaving in a car branded with the Royal Family's sigil. Damon checked his phone, receiving a message.
"Meet me at Home"- Mother.
Damon smiled and moved to the car, getting in and awaiting the first meeting with his mother since obtaining the system.
ETERNAL HUMAN EMPIRE! ( During Damon's awakening ) The Eternal Human Empire is one of the largest Empire's in the world and the only Empire ran by Humans. The Eternal Human Empire is ran by the Imperial Family, the Pendragon Family. The Pendragon family rose to fame after their ancestor, Arthur Pendragon, had slain a Abyssal Monster that had slaughtered half the continent. After that, Arthur Pendragon had gathered the majority of remaining alive humans and established the Eternal Human Empire, turning it into an absolute powerhouse. Although other races can enter the Eternal Human Empire, they all must register with the government. Currently, within the Eternal Human Empire lays the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Palace is where the Imperial Family, the Pendragon Family lives. Currently, within the Imperial Palace, at one of the gardens, a battle was ocurring. On one side was a young boy at around 10 years old. The boy had brilliant golden hair and lumenescent blue eyes that were as
Damon finished his phone call and looked towards the Palace in which he and his mother lived in, although his mother barely spent her time here as she never needed sleep due to her strength and had an extensive amount of work to complete. The Palace, amply named the Palace of the Crimson Witch of Destruction, which was Sapphire's nickname, due to her immense power and colourful crimson flames which danced in the battlefield as she burned her enemies to ashes. The Palace was massive and magnificent, with a perfect combination of Magic Technology and elegance. The palace was surrounded by long lush trees and a bed of beautiful flowers that made the area beautiful and picturesque. Surrounding the Palace was a wall made of Mythril, the hardest,strongest and most durable material in existence and also a spirit defensive formation. Inside the wall, four blue mana towers surrounded the castle. The Mana Towers both drew in mana from the surroundings and purified the mana, making cultivati
On a large bed in a extraordinarily luxurious bedroom, a young boy was sleeping comfortably. The sunlight shone through the room's windows and onto the boy's body, causing the boy to slowly wake up. The young boy, Damon, slowly opened his eyes, moving his hand and blocking the sunlight from hitting his handsome face any further as he sat up on the bed and slowly got off. Damon sighed and looked around his room, the immense luxury dazzling. Damon slid off his bed quickly and went into his shower, taking a short bath before putting on his clothes. Damon wore rather casual clothing, a black joggers and white t-shirt, as he would be changing into combat uniform soon as his training would be beginning. "System, Sign-In." Damon said in his mind. [ Ding! Congratulations to the host for Awakening and unlocking the Achievements Section. For every Achievement Completed, the Host would receive Sign-In Opportunities. One Sign-In Opportunity has been Obtained due to the Host Awakening. ] [ Di
Damon ran into the Training Room #7, the time at exactly, 4:00pm.The training ground was a huge white and black room. The room had a variety of features such as numerous training appliances. The room also had various features such as Gravity Manipulation, Mana Regeration Deterrent and more.Currently, Damon could see Karthus and his various collegues whom were assigned to train him and Karthus had already arrived. Karthus was wearing his Military General Uniform, a red and black uniform with black shuriken marks dotting around the design and the Demon Sigil branded noticably on the front of the top. On Karthus' arm was a 5 star logo that proved his rank as a General.The various other subordinates were wearing the same Uniform but with lower rank stars than Karthus.Killian was also in the room, ready for training, but instead of his standard butler uniform, he was wearing an all black combat outfit dedicated for training. Damon walked up and stood alongside Karthus, looking at the v
The Next Day! The Entertainment District within the Noble Sector of Lily City was particularly crowded today. As the Awakening Ceremony had only recently finished, many Nobles came out towards the Entertainment District, visiting brothels, cinemas, bars and many other establishments to celebrate their successful awakenings. Some persons were celebrating alone, some were celebrating with friends and some are couples enjoying their time. The scenery here was just really peaceful. In the midst of this incredibly peaceful scene was a car. The car was dark blue, with dark tinted windows that blocked persons from seeing inside of the car. If one would compare the vehicle to one on Earth, it would be a Mercades-AMG A 45. On the side of the car, was a sigil of crimson flames surrounding a dragon with a lightning strike in the background. 'The sigil of the Grand Duchess' is what anyone who saw the sigil would think. It was the sigil representing Sapphire and her family. Inside of this luxu
A flash of terrifying thunder illuminated the surrounding area. Sparks of lightning flashed across the area as a terrifying storm of wind blew through a forest. As one looked through the forest, the more variation of topography that could be seen. Changes in vegetation occurred as more and more gigantic trees could be spotted. The firm soil had traces of beasts that could be spotted. Fog covered the surrounding area, greatly limiting visibility and the deeper one goes into the forest, the thicker the fog becomes. One of the most noticable aspects of this forest was the complete blanket of darkness. The stars and moon provided incredibly dim light at most, and the only thing that truly illuminated the surroundings was the terrifying thunder and lightning strikes. A torrent of rain pounded into the ground. This was the Immemorial Battle Forest, a legendary place in the Divine Demon Empire. It was claimed that this place was built from the ground up by the first Demon Sovereign and Emp
At a Military Base Near the Immemorial Battle Forest!Inside one of the monitoring rooms of the military base stood a flood of people. Neatly arranged in rows in front of computers, many logistical Demon military workers sat in their seats, doing their jobs with complete focus. The sounds of fingers tapping on keyboards echoed in the room.In the middle of the room, two people stood. One of them is a tall male Demon with a terrifying mana pressure emitting from his body. His body was incredibly muscular and his face was completely focused.The person next to him looked completely different. With white skin that didn't look sickly and he had a graceful thin frame with stylish green hair and green eyes with pointed ears. The duo stood in the middle of the room as several screens were running live footage in front of them."How do these Assassins know the Young Master's location?" The young boy, who is Killian, asked curiously."How else would they know Killian? Because I told them. I le
he clear skies quickly shifed from the beautiful sunlight that blessed the land to the blanket of darkness covering the sky, ridding the world of most of it's light. The only light sources in the sky being the moon and the beautiful stars.Inside the Immemorial Battle Forest!-SLASH! -SLASH! -SLASH! -SLASH!Damon swung daggers, sending out waves of pure mana that sliced through the air. With each swing of the deadly blood-tainted daggers, the heads of Damon's assailants fell to the ground and torrents of blood poured out. There was already dozens of dead bodies lying at Damon's feet, yet more came to attack the young man."ROARRRR!"-SLASH! -SWIPE!The ferocious claws of a flame bear slashed and swiped at Damon with ferocious speed and venom, determined for the kill as it also released a tyrannical roar. The claws were completely coated with flames that spread all throughout the surrounding area, latching onto the trees and created a massive forest fire.Damon hurriedly evaded the swi
One Day Later!Austonia Academy's Overall Combat Training Hall!Damon's brilliant dual coloured blood red and brilliant gold eyes were radiating with an unmatched confidence as he unsheathed BloodReaper, his overbearing aura cast across the room as he gazed at the opponent opposite him, Elanore.Today was their first day of official classes, and the teachers wanted a comprehensive understanding of the student's combat abilities. Thus, Damon and the other students had been sparring with each-other all day, and Elanore was the final and strongest opponent Damon faced, as he unfortunately didn't match up against Antares, Klaus or Sonna.Elanore took a deep breath, an ominous shadow-esque energy dancing around her voluptuous body like malevolent spirits.~BOOM~In a flash, Elanore sent a surge of malevolent dark magic crashing towards Damon. The Dimension Eater didn't panic however, his eyes staring at the dark magic with almost an impossible level of calmness and disdain. BloodReaper fla
Damon sat in his seat, holding the tablet provided by the Academy as he browsed through the various menus to choose his Subjects and Clubs. The 4 mandatory subjects were already locked in, and for the 4 non-mandatory subjects that Damon needed to complete, he had decided to choose:- World Spiritist Training- Plant and Beast Identification- Rune Education- Survival knowledgeNone of these subjects taught things Damon didn't already know from his personal lessons, or from the System. However, these were the 4 Subjects that sounded the most fun and entertaining.Afterwards, Damon began browsing through the various clubs in the academy. According to the information provided, clubs were student created and student ran institutions focused on specific things that operated within the confines of the Academy, with the recognition of an Academy Professor whom will act as the Club's Sponsor.Damon wasn't particularly sure as to what club he wanted to join, as there were many options such as
One Week Later!For the entire last week, Damon had spent his time doing some last minute training and giving tasks related to FURIA. Although Damon could certainly call and message his subordinates during his time at Austonia Academy, it would not be as effective as an in-person discussion.Now, one week had passed and Damon had suitably given enough instructions that he was confident his subordinates would be able to complete without bothering him too much.Now Damon was located within a luxurious vehicle prepared for him by his mother Sapphire, which was currently driving him towards Austonia Academy. He was seated in the backseat alongside Athena, his personal assistant at FURIA, who was currently informing him on the results of their investigation."Master, here's a detailed breakdown of all of the influential students who will be attending the Academy in your year-group." Athena said, handing Damon a booklet detailing a list of the various students and their influence.- Klaus P
"Austonia Academy huh." Damon thought as he sat in the luxurious car that was currently driving him back to FURIA Headquarters. Damon wasn't surprised that the Divine Demon Emperor Argus had gathered the most talented Demons to send them to Austonia Academy. In truth, every year, the various races of Austonia send their most talented juniors at the Academy to learn and enhance their talents. While it was certainly true that the most influential families in the world could certainly train and teach their talented juniors themselves, the biggest benefit of Austonia Academy was the fact that it was an incredible place for establishing networks and building connections.With all of the most talented and influential juniors in the world gathered together, it was only natural that people would be able to quickly build connections. The enrollment for Austonia Academy was in a week, which meant that Damon needed to complete as much outstanding business he could before he left to the Academy
The Divine Demon Empire was one of, if not the most powerful Empire in the world. A ray of sunlight pierced through the sky and illuminated the Empire. It was early morning, and most Demons were just awakening, preparing to get to work or school.At the center of the Divine Demon Empire was the Capital, Lily City, and smack in the center of Lily City was FURIA Headquarters. Years ago, FURIA had simply appeared out of nowhere as a Business, in multiple industries. It created the now 3 biggest Apps in the entire World, ManaGram, ManaTube and Twitt3r as it's main industry, but FURIA also dabbled in the mining, Real Estate and Agriculture industry, amongst others.On the Highest Floor of the FURIA Headquarters, a unique interaction was currently taking place.The Top Floor of the FURIA Headquarters housed a luxurious private apartment that was specifically built for FURIA's mysterious owner to inhabit. Rays of sunlight pierced through the windows and into the room, a luxurious bed in the
~BOOM!~Damon and Mikayla clashed fiercly against each-other. Damon's [ Banishing Shift: GEMINUS! ] fiercly rivaling Mikayla's [ Eternal Punishment ~ Reality Oblivion! ], leading to a a massive implosion of energy, sending tyrannical shockwaves that destroyed and devoured any and everything in it's path like a ferocious apex predator. During all of this, a pillar of white light appeared, illuminating and blinding every and anything, leaving the fate of the clash unknown.Damon was currently feeling the aftereffects of the implosion. The immense pressure of the blinding, white pillar of lights aura was so intense that whenever Damon tried to move his body even slightly, he could feel his bones being crushed, his organs being squeezed and his injuries being intensified. Painful groans echoed out of Damon's mouth as he tried to calm down.Damon looked around, seeing nothing but the illuminating white pillar of light. Mikayla had disappeared, seemingly vanishing into thin air after their
"Yet finally, another challenger has come to be slain, to be planted amongst the millions who have challenged in the past, all of whom had their dreams and aspirations crushed in the face of Absolute Power." The lady said, standing up and stretching her arms, walking down the stairs as she stood directly across from Damon, the atmosphere itself shaking in her presence."Remember this before your inevitable death challenger!I am Mikayla, Daughter of Lilith, the First Demon Empress!And I, am the DemiGoddess of Death!"As Mikayla's speech ended, the atmosphere of the battlefield shifted. The Elegant Paintings shattered, and deadly, ravaneous monsters launched out of the paintings, aligning themselves as they looked at Damon as if he was a delicious meal prepared for them to eat.The deep, battle scars and cracks that were previously laced across the room were fixed and the flames were ignited across the area slowly stopped, the broken pillars were completely fixed, returning the Throne
[ Chains Of Corruption ]Damon said, casting a spell as he flung out a jet-black tendril of darkness elemental magic that flashed and crashed into the Dragonoid's who were fiercly attacking him with immense intent to kill. The darkness elemental attack immediately immobilized the attacking enemy as well as his partner, and the various guards who were closing in on Damon.Damon was currently battling the final Gauntlet Warrior of the Southern Obsidian Moon Domain, a Dragon and his Dragonoid Guards and allies and Damon was very close to killing the Dragon and finishing off this battle, clearing the Gauntlet.[ Divine Combat Technique: Combat Style - Infernal Slash! ]Damon said, a massive arching slash of deadly infernal flames shot towards the immobilized guards. The flames immediately crashed into the Shield's of the various guards, devouring them and leaving them defenseless.~SHING~THUD~Damon had immediately leapt at the two attacking enemies, slicing his sword and decapitating bot
Damon took multiple deep breaths, his various wounds quickly healing due to his personal accelerated healing factor. Damon looked towards Fenix's body and caught a curious sight.Lines created a brilliant bright white lines began appeared across Fenix's body, and cracking sounds began echoing throughout the now silent arena. Fenix's body began shattering like glass and the lines appeared more brightly across his body.Once his body was completely covered in these bright white lines, it suddenly exploded. A massive white implosion occured for Fenix's body, and it transformed completely into bright white glass-like fragments that floated in the air.The White Fragments floated across the Arena and coalessed into a elegant white portal that would lead Damon to the next stage of the Gauntlet.Damon sat and healed himself for a bit while refilling his Mana, preparing for the next fight. Damon didn't know what or who he would face next, but Damon knew he needed to be at full strength to tak
