The next morning, Damon had woke up, healthy and excited for the awakening ceremony later that day. He had quickly had a luxurious breakfast for himself, prepared for him by his maids, but as he downed his food, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrowns at the conversations taking place around him.
"What do you think caused that crazy Dragon roar yesterday? The Dragon clan stated it wasn't one of them?" One Vampire maid asked.
" If it's not them, then it must be a Draconic Treasure. But it must be of the Divine Tier right? No normal treasure can cause so much damage across the entire world." Another maid, a succubus asked.
Damon's eyes slightly widened at their words and quickly opened his phone, going to the WorldWide news app called Mana-Web. Browsing through the top posts on the Mana-Web, all of them were about an intense Dragon's Roar that lasted for over an hour yesterday. The Dragon's Roar suppressed the souls of everyone who heard it and apparently some persons who were in combat even died due to it.
Damon grimised at the sight, as he knew full well it had to have been himself who caused it.
"System, weren't you supposed to hide such things?" Damon inquired.
[ DING! System had blocked the Hosts location from all inquiring eyes. The phenomena that happened is a natural phenomena that happens in a world where a Primordial Grade Treasure or Entity is born. As the host had fused with the <Body Of Chaos> and used the <Divine Ancestral Bloodline Potion>, both of which are Primordial Chaos Grade items, the phenomena occured. ]
Damon read the system's response and sighed, at least no-one would know it was him who caused that phenomena. With that, he could rest in peace. Damon left the dining room after eating and immediately returned to his bedroom to prepare to leave to the awakening ceremony. After 2 hours of preparation, Damon boared a luxurious limousine that was prepared for him and set off towards where the awakening ceremony would take place.
Zynx Stadium!
------------------------------
Vroom!
The sound of the luxurious black and red limousine riding throughout the streets of Lily City echoed. Damon sat inside, eating elegantly crafted buscuits which were there as snacks for anyone riding in the limousine. Damon looked outside his tinted windows, marvelling at the beauty of the absolutely stunning Metropolis that is Lily City.
The entirety of Lily City was surrounded by a gigantic wall that acted as protection for the citezens. The wall was build and made out of Mythril, which is the hardest, strongest and most durable material in the entire world and also an exceedingly rare material. The wall was also covered in Spirit Formations, made to sustain the wall and stop it from potentially decaying as the wall has existed since the Ancient Era, millions of years ago and was created by Lilith, the first ever female demon and first Demon Sovereign and Empress, who gathered the different dark races under her banner as Demons.
The Spirit Formations also absorbed all attacks to the wall and repelled them back towards the attacker and the wall was also a radar, that sensed incoming enemies. Above the entire city, there was an invisible Spirit Formation that protected the city from attacks from the skies.
Looking at the beautiful Metropolis looking city, Damon smiled at its beauty. High Rise buildings covered the city.
Lily City was divided into sectors.
The Noble Sector was the sector where Nobles lived and enjoyed their lives. The Sector not only had the homes for all nobles with enough authority or power to live in Lily City, but also Hotels for travelling Nobles. The sector also had Entertainment Facilities, such as Beast Fighting, movies, malls and stores.
The Commoner Sector was the largest sector which housed the Commoner Demons and facilitated all of their daily activities. The Sector not only had the homes for Commoner Demons, but also housed the Mall, Theatre, Shops and even the Slave Market. Also, the Commoner Sector housed the Gladiator Arena, where persons can become Gladiators and battle for money for others enjoyment while viewers can bet on battles.
The final sector was the Education Sector, where the kindergarden, primary school and Academies for Noble and Commoner Demons are situation.
Those three sectors made up Lily City. Damon was currently in his limousine on his way to Zynx Stadium for the Awakening Ceremony and observed as vehicles of all kinds parted ways to allow Damon's limousine to pass, as it had the crest of the Grand Duchess of the Empire and Grand Marshall of the Demon Army, Sapphire Rivelea.
Not too long later, Damon could see the silhouete of Zynx Stadium. Zynx Stadium was truly an important landmark for the Divine Demon Empire. Created by the first ever female Demon Lilith an uncountable amount of time ago, the stadium had existed as long as any alive being could remember. The Stadium not only housed the Awakening Ceremony, but also all tournaments held in Lily City endoursed by the Empire. Thus, the stadium was a very important landmark not only for its sentimental and historical value, but also its current usefulness.
The limousine Damon was in had finally parked in a special VIP parking spot reserved for Damon specifically. Damon exited the vehicle and entered the stadium, walking to middle of the stadium in the Noble Region where he would wait until the ceremony started.
[ DING! Does Host want to Sign-In at Zynx Stadium? ]
" System, Sign-in now!" Damon responded.
[ Ding! Congratulations for Signing in the Primordial Spirit Aether Body ]
[ Ding! Congratulations for Signing in the Powers of Ashborn from Solo Leveling ]
Damon excitedly saw the rewards and inspected them,
[ Primordial Spirit Aether Body - The Strongest Spirit Physique Created from the Primordial Chaos itself. Allows the user to absorb Aether, the evolved and most powerful and pure form of Spirit Energy. No living being has ever had this body or used Aether aside from Aphelios, the Supreme Omni-Versal God. This Physique gives the host Primordial Chaos Grade World Spiritist Talent and allows the host to form contracts with Spirits from All 7 Spirit Worlds. Host will also be able to enter and exit the Spirit World at will. Any phenomena created when inheriting this body will be dispelled by System.]
[ Powers Of Ashborn - Ashborn is the Strongest Fragment of Brilliant Light, Monarch Of Shadows and King of the Dead. As the Strongest Ruler, when the Supreme Being, who was simply an aspect of Aphelios that he used to satisfy his curiousity, was killed he awakened his Shadow Monarch Power. Once the host awakens his power, the host will obtain Ashborn's skills such as Infinite LifeSpan, Shadow Extraction, Shadow Exchange, Shadow Storage ( Preservation ), Monarch's Domain. The Host will also obtain some of Ashborn's Ruler powers such as Light based skills. Finally, once the host grows strong enough, Host will obtain 3 types of Spiritual Body Manifestation. Ruler Spiritual Body, Shadow Monarch Spiritual Body and Ruling Monarch Spiritual Body. The Host will also obtain some of Ashborn's combat instincts and have perfect control over his powers once he obtained. The Host must awaken his Mana to inherit the powers and must reach higher Mana Realms to use the skills to their full potential. Any phenomena created when inheriting this will be dispelled by System.]
Damon read the description of these two skills and smiled maniacally. The <Primordial Spirit Aether Body> was perfect for him as it perfectly complimented his <Body Of Chaos> making him the strongest in both Mana and Spirit Power. Finally, he knew the Mana and Spirit Technique he obtained was perfect for him.
Damon accepted the body and felt the changes immediately. It didn't increase his power on the surface, but he felt spiritually free, he felt his mind was perfectly clear and his thinking speed increased dozenfold. He also gained other special side benefits such as a now Perfect Eidectic Memory and Parallel Thinking due to the Physique's effect on his spirit.
Damon walked into the middle of the stadium as he finished inheriting the Physique. Stares were sent his way as he walked to the Noble Region but he didn't care. To him, this was natural. He was the most handsome demon in existence even at his young age and also had an a top tier status due to his Mother.
Damon looked into the crowd, there he could see the stadium was filled with beings excited to watch the Awakening Ceremony and recruit potential talents. In a special sector, Damon could see her, his mother.
She was sitting in an elegant, elevated spot where only the most noble and powerful could sit, with beautiful and elegant divine light emitting from her body.
His mother, Sapphire could only be described as a divine beauty.
Based on her appearance, one would say that she was around twenty years old. Her glamorous red hair look as if blood was constantly dripping from it, and her eyes a deep crimson red that was becoming of blood. The woman had a plump body, with unbelievably perfect breasts checking in at 36E and a perfectly shaped ass. She had pure white as jade skin and her temperament was fierce and domineering also holding a noble touch.
If one were to look closely, just her gorgeous appearance would make one shiver, and her graceful stride looked as if she was faintly levitating. She seemed to be a mystical existence. Her perfect hands and feet that were not too slim or fat, and her limbs made it seem as if her body was finely sculpted by god. Simply put, her body was perfect even from a skeptical female's perspective. She wore a splendid red, black and golden formal gown and a dragon crown on her head, which – while exuding an elegant aura – revealed enough of her chest and had a waistband for fair measure, as to further emphasize her curvature.
Despite her impressive and charming appearance, the person in question also carried the absolute presence and demeanor that was necessary to maintain such an image. That's why the lady named Sapphire seemed like an existence that was detached from the world. Her classy demeanor and concentrated conduct was that of a noble's. This was Sapphire Rivelea, Grand Duchess of the Divine Demon Empire and Damon's mother.
The man who was sitting next to her was also handsome. Two blood red horns and a long sharp tail. He was around 7'0 tall with a handsome cold face and blood red eyes that could make anyone shiver by looking at them alongside his red hair. His body was muscular and his skin was pale, two visible fangs in his mouth and a glass of blood red liquid in his hands.A Finest red and gold silk coat with the Divine Demon Empire crest branded on it covered his body.
He was the Divine Demon Emperor, Argus Rivelea.
Alongside him were some Demon Dukes and strangely enough, Dragons. These Dragon's were from the the Overlord Family of the Dragon Clan, the Flandre Family and were his Mother's Inlaws as they were family of his father.
Argus and Sapphire stared right at Damon, who simply nodded and continued walking. Finally arriving at the Noble Region, Damon could see various sons and daughters of nobles littering the area, some of which immediately came up to him to strike up conversation and bootlick.
After 10 minutes of mindless conversation and bootlicking. The Awakening Ceremony was finally set to begin.
Inside Zynx Stadium, countless demon children, both noble and commoner stood, waiting for the awakening ceremony to finally begin. Damon stood continuing to make small talk, yet he could feel that although persons acted enthusiastically when speaking to him, they were completely hiding their emotions. Damon's newly improved body courtesy of his rewards allowed him to see the microexpressions of many people chatting with him, and his knowledge from two lifetimes easily allowed him to see fake sincerity from real sincerity. Damon knew this was because his background was incredibly strong, however growing up he refused to participate in meetings with other younger generation nobles, as he knew what they would be a waste of time. However, as Damon was making conversation, he sensed a massive amount of hostility directed towards him for a split second. Turning towards the direction of the hostility, Damon realized it originated from a younger Dragon sitting two seats away from the Divin
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
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
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
