Won looked upon a great and mighty city, held by four large and overbearing walls. The sun shone brightly from the sky, it's golden dye flooding the world.
Won was currently walking with his hands behind his back, in a stunning and charming Black and White Taoist robe, a fan held in his crossed arms.
His appearance caught the lust of countless women he passed, and the ire of countless men.
Upon his hand was the the ring of calvin, and other countless ordinary gold rings. With two additional rings on his middle and ring finger. He looked the image of a rich boy.
A leaf came fluttering and hit Won's head.
Holding the leaf in his hand, Won mused, "The spring winds are settling, and it draws closer to the end. Summer will soon arrive. Yet the flowers will produce it's beauty regardless."
Ozaris asked, "My lord?"
Won laughed, "I just mean no matter how dull life may seem, or how much things may seem to fall out, let us work hard."
Ozaris bowed, "Yes my lord."
[A sanctuary connecting to a God's realm is within this city!]
[Ding... Quest initiated {I am the only God}: A God has view over the land you seek to conquer. Although the intention of this God is unknown, a God is never a good being. Destroy the shrine and disconnect the view the god has with this City.
Reward: 200 desire, 2000 exp, Puppet threads.]
Won complained internally, "Hey, hey, hey. What is this nonsense system!? You want me to anger a God? I'm too young to be cursed by some God! Imagine it's the God of Love and she curses me so I'm impotent!"
[God's cannot actively affect any minor worlds or karma shall punish them greatly. Furthermore this God is God born from the universe not born from the effort of beings. They are much weaker and do not possess much emotion, the idea of hatred would be impossible unless a great resentment is formed. A small temple in a small world, surely won't receive her animosity.]
Won cursed, "Hey, you just messed it up. It would have been fine if you just gave the details, but you said surely! Haven't you read any books! This is a major flag in the protagonists story. To hurry up his growth he gets into a very disadvantageous situation."
[Damn...]
Won looked stunned, "What was that System???!!!"
[Nothing! A Long and expansive journey towards Supremacy is of course what I wish!]
Won asked seriously, "System your not trying to force my growth by making me undergo countless dangerous situations, because you heard with the system I don't ever want to leave this world..."
[...]
Won internally complained, "System. If you could I don't want to die again so soon!"
Won was then attracted by a large commotion.
"Come see your fortune! This girl lost her eyesight when she was born as a exchange for holy powers of our God! She is able to free the mind, from the secular demons! She grants this Ring of Blessing and any disease and issue shall dissapear! If you don't believe me come and see her predict your problems!"
Ozaris bowed and said, "My lord, that person is the Minister of Entertainment Shin Tomoe's people."
Won mumbled, "It's not like I won't do it. The main issue with Ito is it's religious nature. I can't ever conquer it without God's approval, so I'll need to get rid of God. I don't mind doing as I need to system, but don't try and chain and force me. I've lived enough as a slave to others wishes. I won't ever follow the destiny you've prepared for me."
[I shall do as you command.]
Won said, "Now this fellow Tomoe. Ai, can't humans be more favorable to the eyes. This man is as rotten as garbage, it really stinks up my view. Don't you agree Ozaris?"
Ozaris said, "As master says even the filthiest most deplorable part of the Demon world is more than this human deserves."
Won said, "I mean if someone is gonna be scum and trash, atleast have power to back it up. This bastard is just some Human weakling, pushing around the authority he received from his actually commendable father."
Won asked, "Shall we burn him alive? I heard that's a good way to kill off a sinner. Supposedly you receive blessings if you do so, from Heavens Will."
Ozaris said, "Indeed my lord. Buddha's change their nature and receive virtue, Angels purge them and receive Holy aura, Demons devour sinners and receive immense power. Yet that method you mentioned was performed by Shamans and Witches. Supposedly they were given a benefit, for example Yin Yang Eyes, Soul destroying chants, etc..."
Won laughed, "But I don't think that's enough punishment. Well I'll keep him alive until I get something to make his suffer more than those he's made suffer."
Won walked towards the crowd, and made his way to the line.
Eventually Won came to the front where a skinny girl wearing a priestess Robe, with two dull looking eyes.
As Won was waiting a man behind him asked, "Lord, what ails you? My feet are the problem, you see, so what ails you?"
Won stared at the man then laughed, "I've hurt my hand while hunting you see, and frankly the doctors say no one can heal it."
The man opened his mouth wide and said, "Ah, I see."
The man then waved his hand above his head, as if stretching.
Won made his way in front of the girl, the man next to her holding a bundle of sticks with scriptures written.
The girl said, "Big brother has a great imbalance of energy in his hand, this is caused by a great beast spirit feeling angry for your... Eh big brother why are you so bright?"
The girl stood up and went close to Won, and touched his face.
Won could now see her body, she was incredibly weak and skinny, but atleast she hadn't had anything untoward her happen.
The girl said, "Big brother, you have a deep black but vibrant glow, but there is this strange other energy also around you. You are like a beautiful blood diamond carved by the finest Craftsman, yet surrounding you are purple thorns full of poison. Angered the blood diamond is cast in the flames of wrath and seeks to plunder the world. A beautiful yellow fire fills the world, as you burn everything to cinders. You sit on a red throne, a wicked smile... All wicked Gods and Good Gods kneel before you as they cry and ask for forgiveness for mercy. Chains race from the abyss and draw them into misery. You laugh as a cruel God basking in all life's suffering."
Won eye's slightly opened and he mumbled, "Can she see the system?"
Before the girl could continue she was pinched tightly and was forced back.
Won eyed the sky for some time deliberating, while the man next to her explained.
Won looked at the girl intently. Leaning forward he asked, "What do you want to do? I'll help you accomplish what you want."
The girl shuddered. She hugged her stomach and said, "I want to eat and sleep properly! I don't want to lie anymore! Save me Big brother!"
Won tossed her hair around as he had his hand on her head and said with a big toothy smile, "That's right! Don't worry your big brother will save you."
Grabbing her arm he took her away. Yet she collapsed, so Won took her on his back.
The man holding the sticks exclaimed in anger, "Hey what do you think you're doing!?"
Won said, "Protecting this innocent child, why got a problem?"
The man hissed, "Hmph, a problem? Yes I do you brat! Here let me teach you how to properly behave."
Before he could do anything a punch made it's way to his face.
Won looked coldly and said, "You got a problem me eh? Then shouldn't I cut off the problem by the head? Hehe."
Five men stood up and roared, "Take this bastard down!"
Ozaris hurrumphed and easily tossed everyone to the ground.
Won then walked off slowly and said, "Don't let me catch you abusing a child, otherwise I'll kill you. While I don't mind killing men, women, elders and even children, I won't allow other's to abuse innocent children."
Won asked the girl as he walked past the stunned crowd, "Little one what's your name?"
The girl scratched her head and said, "Luu... I don't have one big brother."
Won asked, "Hm. Well what do you think of... Lulu?"
The girl jumped around with her limited strength, "I really like that name big brother! It sounds so cute!"
Won laughed, "Is that so."
The girl hung closer to Won and said, "Say it again big brother! Say my name!"
Won roared, "Lulu! Hello Lulu!"
Lulu laughed sweetly, as if spring had again reappeared, and flowers seemed to sprout in Won's ears as he heard the nice chines of little Lulu.
...
Won with Lulu asked, "Lulu, that thing you said. What was that?"
Lulu scratched her head and said, "I don't know, but I still see it. Twisting flames that seek to devour everything."
Lulu said, "Big brother! Although I lied to people I can really see what will happen to them! Ask me anything you want!"
Won laughed and asked, "How's my love life?"
Lulu thought about it for a few minutes counting cutely with her fingers and laughed, "You will have atleast twenty wives who will be your strength and courage, they will only have you eternally in their hearts, willing to shun the world for you. Many of them are also very obsessed with you big brother."
Won had his jaw agape, "Twenty wives... Well that's quite a bit."
Won asked, "Lulu what do you want to eat? I've heard Ito Empire makes really famous dishes, and since you want to eat I don't mind splurging a bit. Ozaris what do you think?"
Ozaris said, "Hm. Master can we eat the seafood that the capital. In the demon world, we don't even have fish, if you discount those bloody lava demons. Furthermore I've heard that the capital makes the best fish, such that even the king has one of the chefs in his palace personally making it."
Won said, "Seafood? Okay, let's go!"
Lulu said, "Uncle what's the demon world."
Ozaris replied, "It is where..."
Won said laughing, "It's where he worked. You see uncle is a rather depraved type of person, remember Lulu if you meet someone like this uncle you should run away. They're bad people."
Won complained internally, "Ai. This girl already in bed with gangsters and demons. Maybe I should take care of her? Atleast until she's old enough. I have enough funds, and anyway it'll be more fun while I conquer this place in comparison to having Ozaris."
Won looked around and asked, "Lulu, would you like to keep me company? I'll make sure you always have food to eat and a bed to rest on."
Lulu said, "Really big bro?"
Won nodded.
Lulu said, "If big bro is fine with me, even though I offer very little. I hope you will take care of this little one."
Won laughed, "When did begin talking so politely?"
Lulu said, "My grandma said when asking for something one must be respectful."
Won said, "Among family respect isn't needed, just one's affection and promise."
Lulu asked, "Family?"
Won said, "Well do you dislike being my family? You see I only trust my family, so are you my family?"
Lulu brightly smiled as tears fell down her face, "I'd love to be big bros family!"
Ozaris asked cutely as he pressed his fingers together, "Master am I your family as well?"
Won asked, "Hehe. You've become part of my race and now you want to run away?"
Ozaris shook his head, "Of course I want to be Masters family."
Won laughed slightly.
...
After having nice meal at a posh restaurant, Won took towards an Inn to get a room for the three. Suprisingly there wasn't enough room and the three had to squeeze into one.
Ozaris took the couch. Won took one bed and Lulu got the other one.
After preparing everything Won said to Lulu, "Lulu I have to go out and do somethings. Can you wait here for us? Make sure you don't open the door for strangers, and here take this in case we get late. Be careful okay."
Lulu nodded, "Yes big brother Won."
Won smiled, "Very good!"
Won ruffled her hair.
He then looked at Ozaris and said, "Be a lookout for me, and do you have a way to keep Lulu safe?"
Ozaris bowed and said, "Master I can summon my familiar."
Won asked, "Familiar?"
Ozaris explained, "Master compare them to beast companion's which are summoned, instead of tamed."
Won said, "Ah, okay. Teach me how to do that too."
Ozaris bowed and said, "Of course master."
He then bit his thumb and drew a blood circle on his hand.
"I summon thee of water and wind, of chaos and beginning. Hydra!"
A brilliant light filled the room.
Soon enough a small turtle like creature with nine heads came into being.
It began to float magically without wings.
Ozaris said, "Little nine, you must protect this girl! She's masters... servant?"
"Wrong."
"Daughter?"
Lulu barked angrily, "Wrong!"
Ozaris said, "Anyway she's masters family! Protect her and inform me if anything bad happens."
(Squee!)
The turtle nodded.
Won said, "Ah. It's so cute!"
Won rubbed it's nine heads, the turtle the processed to squeal in joy.
Won used the ring of calvin to put on a skintight robe, and a black demon mask.
Leaving through the window.
...
At a temple where only pink leaves were present.
Won arrived in front of a shrine.
With nicely tilled grass, and beautiful jade steps, one could easily distinguish the power and status this temple had.
Won walked through the large Tori gates, and instantly a weight pressed on his body. It was like someone was squeezing his heart.
Won hurrumphed and a small layer of thin layer of demonic qi flushed out of his pores and coated his body.
Won covered his nose and said, "Argh! Why does it stink!"
[Holy aura or blessings is sickening to Demons. Similar to how Depravity and Sin is harmful to Angels.]
Won nodded. He looked around and asked, "So how do I destroy this? I'm sure it's not just burning this place down."
[Due to this place being a place of worship and pious devotion, for a large number of years and having numerous worshipers who offer countless offerings, the holy aura will not dissipate if the shrine is simply destroyed, and therefore the God watching cannot be sent away. Only if the thick Holy aura which has interwoven itself into this land is first removed and them the shrine is destroyed, can the Gods ownership of this land dissapear.]
Won asked, shivering as a cold sensation brushed along his spine, "How do I... Um, how do I remove the Holy aura."
[You must absorb it and refine it.]
Won sighed as if having accepted death. He crouched down and made a circle in the earth, similar to how a child would, tears lingering upon his eyes.
'Do I really have to do this... I really can't have a painless and causal rise to supremacy, eh?'
Won sighed and found a detached and abandoned part of the temple.
He sat cross-legged and then focused on opening his pores wide.
Like worms wriggling upon his skin, countless small dots appeared. Won took a breath in and it was as if every cell, every single part of him was similarly breathing.
This was comparable to Layer 2 of Qi gathering.
Qi gathering was separated into three layers.
First layer was Qi Stream. It simply performed the task of flowing through the body, this slowly opened the Meridians and overtime it would slowly accumulate into a Qi river.
Qi Rivers were much more useful than a Qi Stream. Firstly a Qi Stream could only act as an amplifier to the body, it would remain inside and couldn't do much else. Qi Rivers of the other hand overflowed and opened the pores and widened the Meridians, from then on Qi could slowly appear outside the body and act like an armor of sorts. It was the difference between toughening your body and wearing thick steel armor. Furthermore a Qi River absorbed much more Qi than a Qi stream. Then a Qi Sea.
Slowly the river would increase in volume and number, eventually opening the main Meridians completely, furthermore they would open the Three fundamental acupoints. The Mind Acupoint in the middle of the brows, the Compulsory Heart Acupoint in the center of the heart, and the Potential Acupoint in the lower abdomen.
These sea's would condense into the three Dantian's, at these acupoints.
The Soul Dantian in the brain, the Magic Dantian in the heart and the Qi dantian in the lower abdomen.
One did not need to produce all three, the Soul Dantian was the only actually needed one. The other two were optional depending on what you would do.
Won didn't know much about magic, but they had a similar process as Qi gathering.
...
Won began to slowly absorb the energy in the air.
A slight burning sensation raced across his body, but luckily it was digested by the large Demonic Qi. Various other forms of Qi including Virtuous Qi etc also existed within Won due to him using so many fundamental techniques. Yet Demonic Qi was the most suitable of the Qi he had.
A couple hours went away and it was noon now. Won had just finished the last bit of holy aura in the air.
Won's Demonic Qi was worn thin, and he heaved as he gulped large amounts of air, like a whale.
Yet within Won alongside his constantly flowing river of Qi, was a bright and golden Qi.
Won blinked numerous times and said, "System is that Holy aura..."
[Yes.]
"How did I absorb it?"
[Because the Host has the system all forms of energy are obtainable, furthermore the virtuous Qi of Buddhism and Ruism is also very similar to Holy Aura, so it can easily assimilate with you. This qi will continue to grow as the Qi inside you grows, but not by a big or even average amount. If Host wishes to receive more Holy Aura, a corresponding technique is needed."
Won asked as if defeated, "But I'm a demon..."
[Correction. Host is a Draconic Demon. Dragons are primarily Yang creatures and are seen as Holy in a way, but because of somehow integrating with the Primordial Yin of Demons it has made it so the Draconic Demon race, or more specifically the Draconian Demon Royals were a lesser from of the incredibly rare [Innate Yin Yang Body]."
Won said in surprise, "Actually that kinda makes sense."
[It is simply the within the Natural Laws allowance.]
...
Won made his way towards the center of the shrine, the pink sky above a beautiful spectacle.
As Won took out his sword it caught on fire, and his Mana was slowly dissapearing.
Right as Won was about to make the strike.
(Who dares attack this Great one's shrine!)
A loud and domineering woman's voice echoed from the shrine as it glowed a faint gold. Above it a woman with two dazzling white feathered wings and a halo atop her head, appeared.
(Demon! Damn it's you sacrilegious, vile beings!)
Won said, "Don't mind me miss God. I simply want to destroy your shrine. I'm sure such a great God such as yourself has countless shrines and this small one dosen't even amount to the wax in your ears."
(How dare you speak so disrespectfully! Have you no idea who I am!)
Won said, "How am I supposed to know who you are? I'm just an innocent nobody. How can I understand the greatness of a God considering I've never seen it. Don't you know baby pigs aren't scared of tigers, or something or another."
(Then let me explain to you!)
Won said, "Sorry I don't have ears good enough to hear your golden words."
(You damned bully! You and everyone else always bullying me! I'll never forgive you! I'm just an innocent maiden, why am I being so cruelly treated!)
Won looked stunned, "Hey system, is this the expressionless god you were telling me about?"
[This shrine is actually a shrine of a half God and Half angel being.]
(I don't care anymore! This matter has created and irreconcilable vengeance between us two! Let us fight in a life or death battle!)
Won said, "No."
(Argh! You cheeky sacrilegious little punk! I dare you! I double dare you! Your not a man if you don't agree!)
Won turned his face away, "Then I'm a woman!"
(Hey c'mon don't be like that...)
Won sighed, "Fine!"
(Yes! Okay let us meet in 100 years!)
Won shook his head, "That's too long! Who knows what'll happen during that time. Maybe you'll die and I'll be left with my dick hanging."
(How vulgar! But very well! How about 90 years?)
"No."
(80?)
"No."
...
(10... Year's?)
"No."
(Then when you bastard!)
Won smiled, "Right now."
(You Bastard you've been humiliating me this whole time haven't you! You know I can't descend right now and have been making fun of me!)
Won asked curiously, "Have I?"
Ozaris came running, "Master government officials are coming here! We must hurry-"
Suddenly a face of disgust and disdain appeared on Ozaris face, flinging his head away as if afraid from horrid oder would enter his nose he barked, "Argh! Some disgusting angel!"
(What did you say you demon servant!)
Ozaris opened his eyes, "What? What? You bunch of hypocritical, tight asses! Ptui! Ptui!"
(You bastard...!)
Won laughed, "Then I'll see you miss half angel half God."
(Atleast tell me your name Villain!)
"What's yours?"
(Mary.)
Won laughed, "I'll tell you - Won. After you've won our battle I'll tell you."
Before she could reply he slashed at the shrine cutting it, fires devoured the holy wood and the connection between God and man had dissapeared.
Meanwhile Won and Ozaris had already dissapeared.
...
In the realm of Angels...
A girl with golden hair tossed around her bed angrily, a stuffiness filling her chest.
She complained, "That bloody fool Angelica said today would be a lucky day for me! How the bloody hell is this a lucky day! Some mere mortal destroyed one of my shrines! Ah, I'm so pissed off."
