Hours after… three miles away from the slave traders' camp…A city guard ran panically ran towards a mansion near the city center and entered through a side door. Fearful and with large beads of sweat running down his face, he stuttered towards the person in that backyard."G-great Sir! This is bad! W-wiped out! Merchant Guo's whole camp is wiped out!"The majestic brocade-robed middle-aged fishing on the pond stood up in shock and exclaimed, "What!?"The concept that the world was never as it seemed began since ancient times.The vanished islands…Lost continents…Mystical realms...Other dimensions…In his memories, Paul had once heard from a sane and scholarly immoral host that the world was suspected to be made of several layers. The first one was the surface world where normal humans reside. It was where everyone was truly born… And where immoral hosts could only come from. According to records, there had never been immoral hosts that were not originally born in the surface world
With regained calmness and a cold glint flickering through her beautiful black eyes, Agatha willed the fire to vanish and then she ordered the governor, "Tell me everything about the royal family and big aristocratic families in Xia Empire's capital… Leave no details unsaid... It is my first test to you as my loyal subject..."People who found themselves transported to another world would usually long to go back to where they came from. It was a natural instinct, born in the depths of one's heart to persist in lingering inside and would rear its head whenever the transmigrator felt like he was already okay to stay in the current world.No matter how one denies it, it was a fact that even if one had no ties remaining to that place, the concept of home was not something they could easily brush off. The longing in their hearts would prevent them from fully integrating into the new world… They would always think of the inerasable past. It was the most painful kind of home-sickness.But th
Paul's tone reached an all-time low when he confronted his uncle face to face.Without going round about it, he asked with gritted teeth, "Uncle, be honest with me. In this country, who else can erase traces and make it appear like there was no transfer or space-related kidnapping that happened? Who else can fulfill the condition above while also being related to Agatha? And why would he do this, huh?"Conrad was in his villa, sipping tea and unwinding from the roller-coaster mess he got himself involved in the past years when his nephew made an unexpected visit while wearing a grave face. The man almost spits his tea upon hearing the question.'What happened again?''Fred's daughter disappeared?''Paul is suspecting Fred?'The Business King of Alina City really had no idea about the mad doctor's action this time so he was dumbfounded upon being stared at by his nephew as if he was a very hated enemy. Countless thoughts flashed across and when he realized the reason, a bitter smile hu
"Eithan… Why are we looking for Mr. McArthney?" Puzzled and anxious, Irene asked him.They walked down the low staircase leading to the parking lot in the basement of the building. Worry could be made out on the actress' face too since she could see that he was making a gloomy expression.How would he answer his girlfriend who didn't really have a holistic idea of what he was and what kind of world he was living at now? The man wondered. He knew how he acted earlier in the penthouse so, in the woman's view, he probably appeared weird since he abruptly pulled her towards this place without informing her why.He remained silent for some time before he spoke in a low voice. "Irene, do you know that Ms. Silver has been kidnapped?""What?" Genuine shock immediately crossed the woman's face. What he said felt surreal to her and her body even jolted a bit on her seat.Eithan grimly nodded. Yet Irene still couldn't believe it. Even when their car left for the main road, her head was shaking a
"A wedding won't deter me from my current modus," in a party he attended with his friends, the famed bachelor laughingly popped champagne and poured himself a glass of it."You mean, your resume of competition against Paul McArthney upon his return?" interjected a flirty girl who knew some bits of knowledge of his beef with the other young tycoon.Marc hugged the slim waist of the woman and playfully landed a kiss on her luscious lips, "Babe, I like how witty you are to get my meaning almost so immediately."Pleasant laughter reverberated after. The man took a mouthful of his drink and stared outside the transparent glass wall of the bar. Looking into the distance, in the direction where Starlight's main building was located, a corner of his lips rose up.'Since Paul is back, my interest in stealing Agatha Silver from him also returned. Wouldn't it more fun now since she has become his fiancée?'Unaware that his own fiancée was near the breaking point due to the most recent turn of ev
The two were in a small but lavishly decorated residence especially bought by Governor Su for Agatha. The governor had truly become a fanatic and had no qualms burning holes in his finance to provide the most comfortable dwelling for the woman. Agatha of course rewarded him... with amnesty. After all, before the guy got brainwashed and showed his usefulness, it was an undeniable fact that he charged towards her temporary residence at Gentle Wind City to arrest her and collect back the girls she rescued. Inside the room, Cora finished hanging the beautiful curtains by the window. While setting up the fragrance atop the bedside table, she heard Agatha speak. "It's been a long journey before we reached here and since the population of this city is big, I want to start the reform here. Cora, from now on, none of you must refer to me as Goddess. Just call me Miss, and I want you to tell others to start moving." A flash of understanding flickered in the servant's face. She turned to Agat
On the Layer containing Mao's Xia Empire, the expansion of a newly birthed religion worshipping a Goddess called Ivy discreetly began, with the news yet to reach the capital. Things seemed to be proceeding nicely for Agatha there as nobody capable of threatening her life had appeared. However, that could not be said for the one left behind on the Surface Layer, at the Alina City of Country F.Actually, on the surface, it looked like everything was fine. Even in the other cities and countries, events similar to the one staged by Agatha at C Empire rarely happened, as rare as a tropical country not experiencing a rainfall for a whole year. After all, not everybody among the immoral hosts and system users was irredeemable bastards and b*tches. Like Paul said before, there were some who chose to devote their lives in researching the 'System', its powers, and its origin. They had their own ways of completing quests while dealing the most minimal damage to themselves, to others, or the
"You are Bathory." In such a world, Eithan blankly muttered a name even though the mic was already placed under his lips. He found it more dreadful how the words did not seem to reach the more than a hundred thousand people beneath the stage. Red-haired and with a noble-like disposition. She was indeed Bathory Erzebeth, the Blood Countess.She was somebody who had reigned over a county and then a country in the 1500s. Even now, the B Empire was still under her. Her feats were truly worthy of admiration.Yet right now, Eithan could feel no whatsoever awe in his heart. His brown eyes darkened as he met her gaze, knowing her appearance here was nothing short of a disaster for him."You don't need to make that kind of face, boy." After a sweet peal of laughter that briefly reverberated as Bathory Erzebeth stood up, these words fell into the ears of those aware of what was happening.The Queen of one of the western sovereignties walked slowly from the seat that she was assigned to, which
When the troops of the God’s Domain stepped onto the Imperial Capital’s soil, the common folks on both sides of the road sprinkled fragrant petals from within their hands. As for the guardsmen that were standing above the city walls, they set off festive fireworks, and the melodious sound of a trombone resonated throughout the entire horizon.The sky was ravaged with fireworks as they blossomed above in broad daylight. Even if it was still daytime, after undergoing the modification of magicians, the fireworks still blossomed with radiance that was dazzling to the eye.The monarch of the Long Xuan Empire personally brought a troop to welcome the sage, and when everyone prostrated down in worship, the monarch welcomed the sage into the Imperial Palace.The liveliness that was accompanied by the clamor was
When Taka made her move on the Suzaku Clan, due to the theory that ‘one shouldn’t do anything to harm one’s neighbors’, she had only had a little test of her skill and had not been too heartless by exploiting them too much. As for the other three big clans, however, it was an entirely different story. She saw no reason for reservation so she basically went full force on themThe reason for her doing what she’d done was to truly seize an opportunity that had presented itself! Her ferocity had exponentially increased until it was capable of making one’s hair stand up in anger.For example, on a certain young master’s bedside that was from the Azure Dragon Clan, where the 7-star sword was hung, the lavish scabbard of the sword had been entirely cleaned of its dazzling precious stones and its gilded golden ornaments was not
Ryu, on the other hand, figured that he would not be able to afford to have another mishap inside his own household, especially not before they were able to secure the invitation of the sage. Thus, he immediately sent his most trustred people to have the Snow Spiritual Fox delivered to the God’s Domain. Not long afterward, he then received information that the other party had arrived from the God’s Domain.In ten days, the sage of the God’s Domain would personally proceed towards the Long Xuan Empire, to the Suzaku Clan, in order to rouse the Phoenix. This one piece of information had everyone from the Suzaku Clan crying tears of joy. Their hundred years of misery would finally be seen through to an end.Within the next ten days, everyone put out an extreme amount of effort, and it was a rarely seen sight where the elders and the youngst
On the flip side, Taka stood at the entrance of the Qilin Auction House. Upon seeing the rear view of the attendant leaving, Taka’s hand subconsciously reached out to touch that little face of hers that had changed beyond recognition.The result of the low-level face-altering potion was pretty good. Although the effectiveness was shortened by that bit for that given period of time, it was just enough to conform to her requirement for the three hours were enough for her to have those goods delegated. If there was even more effectiveness for a given period of time, she truly would not know how she would carry that kind of face back to the Suzaku clan.The present Taka’s facial appearance was slightly better when compared to her original and she figured it was due to a huge difference in skin care regime. Not only was her skin right now was slightly fa
Since she had already set the Qilin Auction House as the target, Taka then couldn’t help but make the next step of planning. Although there were very less people who had seen the shame of the Suzaku clan, it was hard to say that she would not be recognized by the people of the Qilin clan at other locations sometime later. Therefore, Taka had decided on the spot to go to another auction house in advance and used the money that she had and bought a few bottles of face altering potion.The face-altering potion was a rather common kind of medicine and it can be divided into three grades which were the ‘low’, ‘middle’ and ‘high’. Different subdivisions of the face altering potion, of course, would all have a varying duration depending on its grade. Likewise, the duration of its ability to hold a disguise as well their price would have even more disparity. On that night,
As of now, Taka’s main problem was precisely money!The only sole thing that made Taka rejoice was that she had picked a proper ‘occupation’ for herself at that time, the godly thief, don’t you think so?! With regards to her, this kind of thing called money was like a rock on the floor, that could be seen just about everywhere. If she had not widened her horizons at that time by being a hitman, a spy and so on, it would have been very likely that she could only silently stay at that dim corner and constantly dawdle about there!“Isn’t it just 30000 pieces! You can be at ease for by the means of this young master’s skill, I will definitely make you eat till you feel like throwing up!”With regards to her workmanship, Taka was quite confident in herself. What was more wa
‘Didn’t I say that it would have inhibitions on your strength. Undoing the first layer of seal is only but the beginning. If you want to become stronger, then you have to continue to undo the later seals. In this way, not only you can continue advancing but also, those strength that was previously inhibited would subsequently gush out.’ Linux’s voice was still the same as before where it was tranquil without any ripple and a hint of chilliness was carried together.“Then, what is needed to undo the second layer of seal?” Taka asked.Linux went silent for a moment and then only said one statement, ‘Demonic Beast’Demonic beasts were vicious organisms that were scattered everywhere across the Radiance Continent and resided
“Taka. You have fairly done well!”Agnar distressingly looked at the daughter of his which was still at the bosom. If it was not for the fact that Ryu was here at this moment, it was very likely that he would have already long ago pounced Taka and ripped her apart into fragments.As Abiri had Taka protected behind his back, he looked at Agnar and said,“Second uncle, why do say such a thing? Just what had this matter got to do with Taka?”“How could it be that she is unrelated to this matter? Jesse was injured in her room and it is very clear that it is this vile spawn that has harbour this evil intention wanting to injure Jesse!”No matter how Ryu was to think about it, Agnar had always fr
Just at that moment when Taka was inwardly wiping away her tears, in a rage, Jesse, who had been ignored by Abiri had killed her way into the room.The moment when she entered into the room, she immediately saw that pile of presents on top of the table and that pair of eyes of hers which filled with anger had momentarily became red in jealousy.“You, idiot, on what basis had you made Brother Abiri treat you that well! You are simply just a trash! Idiot! Even the most inferior servant within the mansion is one hundred times stronger than you! You simply do not deserve to have Brother Abiri’s items!”Gripping her fist tightly, Jesse tenaciously glared at Taka who was sitting on top of the bed where within the eyes of hers was the unwillingness that had practically burnt away all of her rational
