"You've died Paul, you succeeded but only for a little Time." a deep voice echoed into seemingly dark space of nothing, the voice could be heard seemingly from nowhere.

"Who are you?" Another voice said. He was Paul. He suddenly he could talk without realizing it he got the courage to speak into this. "blackness"

"Ever heard the story of the Diabolical War God?" He replied back with no hesitation.

"You mean the legend of that War God who divided the world into 5?"

"Yes, him. Ever wonder where he got his Strenght?"

"I'll sure do want to know it, but as I said who are you? Are you god?"

"You'll soon find out..."

For suddenly the once black emptiness, light overtook it, Paul opened his eyes and saw the clouds. He seemed back in the world again.

He stood up in shock as he looked around and see just bones of people who have died and thrown in the ravine. His clothes were there still. Although it is very dirty and torn, Paul didn't bother a thing. The smell was worse, Paul felt puking but his body doesn't have any to vomit, he touched his face, he felt the pressure of his hands on his face. The warmth of his body and a beating heart.

"H-how?!" Said into himself, he is still in shocked he's somehow alive and well. He didn't felt hungry or thirsty at all. As if he just drank or eaten...

"Fun to be alive?" So suddenly the deep voice talked once more, Paul searched where the voice came from looking side to side and up but to no prevail.

"You only can hear me, nobody else. I bestowed upon you a second chance, you are now 5 years onto the future. The world now is in utter chaos. Can the once King himself put peace into the lands once again?"

Disappointment and anger, the word expresses his face. He didn't expect something like this. Or worse.

"Is because we were betrayed..." He said and he looked onto the many bones of the dead in the ravine.

"Yes, Paul. You and you're allied were betrayed. Power is what the people want the more power you got, the more enemies you shall encounter. You should never trust your allies, not even your Knights. I'm giving you a-"

"I agree Ok!" He shouted

"Very well..." The voiced Replied, and so suddenly a window popped in front of him.

[Welcome Your Majesty.]

"What is this?!" He tried touching it but his hands just flew past the seemingly red hologram.

[Diabolical System. Loading...]

"What is this?! Hey!..." He shouted at the sky but with no reply...

[Majesty Must be Confused. Our System shall give Majesty task and he shall receive rewards, heavy rewards.]

"A quest?" He talked into the hologram, as the text spelt out the words at speed.

[Quest 1: Find the Bone fragment of Mejesties allies, or else he shall die in starvation and dehydration.

Reward: Special Ring and One-time temporary use of Jump Boost Potion.]

[Accept Or Accept?]

"So there is no decline option huh." Paul touched the accept option but this time it felt like a solid wall. And then the window disappeared.

"Bone fragments are not that hard, whatever small a bone is it will always contain Mana or Shi. I wonder If I'm the only one who got this. Thingy...." with no choice Paul wandered around and big And deep Ravine, he spent time looking around and remembering the past which he could not take.

The day He died and his Knights, could not go away from his mind. he sighed he took a deep breath in and closed his eyes.

"There's nothing I can do. I need to finish this quest or else I cant avenge them." He sat into the piles of bones in a Lotus position and started to do to breathing Patterns.

Paul was a powerful figure in the world. He can use both Shi and Magic at the same time making him unstoppable to some events. He was never defeated in battle and always win one-sided.

Cultivation is one of the important prowess of a warrior, lacking it you shall die in vain. They are 9 Stages of Cultivator although quite a small number the sub-layers you shall meet is tough than anything in the world. Even some masters only reach 8th stages. 5 years have passed so that should already be broken by someone out there.

Heavenly Techniques are quite popular and easy. So maybe I'll gather good Life essences here...

Bing... [Majesty is not allowed to Do heavenly Techniques.]

Paul's eyebrow went up as he didn't know why he wasn't allowed. He ignored the window and tried to gather Good Essence, but then as the essence entered his body he felt his heart been stabbed he stumbled and coughed blood.

[Only 1 Is suitable for The Diabolical System. Devils Pathway.]

"D-devils Pathway?!..." He shouted.

Devil's Pathway. The names say it already. It's an Evil Pathway for a cultivator, but why should I take this path? If I took this my Meridians will be tarnish and be toxic.

With no choice, Paul tried once again this time gathering Evil Essence. "I must say I know Devils Pathway. But the Layers of the Devil is 20 compared into the Heavenly Path. Its much more hard and risky, as you can go berserk!." Paul again was forced and have no option he focused breathing, he felt the beating of his heart and tried to gather as much as possible. Doing so the ground started shaking, he felt this tingling sensation he never felt before in cultivating.

Suddenly he felt pain from over his body his teeth bit onto each other to resist the pain, blood-red essence started going into his chest. Sweat poured from his head unto the ground, his eyes forced shut close as the pain grew even stronger.

This goes on for about 7 minutes and after that, he collapsed into the ground grasping to breathe, the pain slowly faded away and his body started feeling light as if he has been into a massage parlour.

And so 5 bone fragment floated above him, they were encased in this orb-like structure he can't explain each having different colours.

[Majesty Has Completed first tasked well. He is now officially the owner of "The Diabolical System" Extra Knowledge will be passed into Majesty it may hurt for the first time.]

Suddenly 2 items dropped beside him as his head hurt even more and more. "This is too Painful, I can..." he screams while holding the side of his head in agony, the pain was too much he again lay onto his back, holding tightly on his head. His eyesight started to blur out and so he passed out...

"Have you realized it yet my king?" An unknown Noble talks into the throne room while on his knees talking to the king.

"This, System. Why all of my powerful knights have them too?" He questioned as he continued to tap using his fingers. In front of him was another hologram.

"It seems to look like every Powerful warrior has it my king." He answers politely.

The kings head tilted a bit as he continued to click random things and found the title on the top.

Diatonic System... it read...
