It happened pretty quickly Won took over the Gracia kingdom. His Jade Seal ordered the execution of the nobles and the seizure of their wealth.
Won made especially sure that no strays got out of his trap. Killing all the adults and making the children forget everything by overloading their brains with mana, finally releasing them.
Won sat upon a gold throne as he looked through a book, with on hand holding his tilted head and the other flipping through the pages of the book.
Won sighed, "I've read all the martial arts available in this kingdom, although they aren't anything good they increased my proficiency with my other techniques. I can feel my martial arts on the cusp of evolving, even without the system's assistance. I've read about the world I'm in, the location and distribution of all sorts of things. I already have a general idea as to how to conquer this Empire. There are only two problems. The Emperor and the Demonic faction.
The Blood King was the leader after all and no matter how traitorous and evil those bastards are, the new leader will never be able to let me off. The Demonic faction is after all so bloody narrow minded, anyone or anything that annoys them and they go to full scale war. Furthermore the Blood King has countless disciples, and from what I've heard each disciple has to make a solemn oath before they accept his tutorship that if the Blood King were to die they couldn't get a day of comfort until they kill the one who killed the Blood King."
Won sighed again deeply and got out of his chair, he wanted to wander the capital.
He went incognito wearing a bamboo hat with a veil. As he wandered he tried the local cuisine, and enjoyed the shows.
Alongside the streets there were puppet shows, and there were young and old couples wandering the streets.
It was a peaceful chaos, and as the sound of cheer and happiness struck the ear one would automatically fade into a sweet lull.
Won closed his eyes and a small smile was on his lips, perhaps there were monsters in the shadows. Perhaps these people similarily had inner demons. Yet this scene seemed so beautiful even within the probable insanity and chaos, it was a unexpected anomaly. It was a moment that wouldn't last most probably, but it was so nice to the heart that had become as cold as ice.
Won perhaps understood the Bloodiest Devil. Compared to nothing, or escapism. This natural sweetness was perhaps the best. Perhaps to see this, waiting an infinite amount of time till a change happened was worth it.
The world would easily shift, and evil would always be present. Yet good would also always be present. Perhaps nothing but a spark, but a brilliant spark that could cleanse the evil, creating another brilliant spark of glorious light.
Won laughed, "One might mistake me as a monk, or a scholar with how I think. Maybe some might even consider me a fool, or an example of hypocrisy. Yet isn't that human nature? To be hypocritical. I am a demon, yet I still observe myself as a Human, I still am the morals and ethics I was taught. Yet I am no longer bound by their inept nature. I won't kill others mindlessly, but I won't pretend that killing someone has some great reason, I kill because I need to kill, I want to kill and I have to kill. Quite stupid."
Won continued walking and saw some children playing with spinning tops.
Won gazed at the spinning tops for a moment, and suddenly gasped in shock. What if he spun the energy similar to the top. Instead of trying to compact the energy which is so difficult, make it like the ebb and flow of the sea. As the energy moves circularly it keeps it's shape.
Won went to a forest and tried it right away.
The energy first spread across his hand and then folded.
Slowly won began to rotate it and similar to a lotus closing it's leaves, it moved dazzlingly.
Won focused his breath and shot out a palm and the coiled energy raced through the trees.
Won smiled happily, "Until I had more Qi or more insight into the technique, my palm techniques were very bothersome. But now It's much better."
Won gripped his hand a strange and devilish smile, a toothy incorrigible smirk that surely meant he would be cheating the Heavens.
"This place is infinite. Even an endless amount of time in this place is a mere second in the real world. My martial arts, my skills, my everything I can train them for billions of years. Even if I'm weak I'll have mastered techniques to the point even Heavens Will might just fall dead from my expertise. Normally even with billions of years advancing or evolving a martial arts, Cultivation technique, or skill is impossible, but with the system I can create something out of nothing. Magic circles of higher grades? Easy! Cultivation Techniques? I'll make these shitty ones into something amazing! Hahaha! And I'll have over a million women! Hahaha!"
...
Won quickly took control of the surrounding kingdoms, using poison, kidnapping their family or by giving them wealth.
Soon more than 80 of the kingdoms of the Empire were under Won's control.
And even sooner he would begin his conquest.
...
Won was currently sitting on his throne with one hand holding his tilted head and the other flipping through a book.
Won was crying as he said, "Why don't you go to her! why are you walking away! who cares if you are a monster! So what if people don't accept Suni! Isn't his love enough to cross that silly border! Jackson please don't let her walk away! No your romance can't end like this! Argh! Guards! Guards bring me the writer of this book, he is to be executed!"
Won bawled loudly.
This showed how Won even after becoming a demon, after being tortured and becoming a Cruel God he was still the same kid as before.
Won threw the book down as he said, "Ah! It's feels so shitty! I hate this book! You took so many days out of my life! I read this 3000 chapter book in 3 months and now I feel horrible!"
Won lied down and purged his mind. Trying to get the book out of his mind.
Yet he couldn't he stood up and said, "I mean who creates characters just to see them suffer! Argh!"
Just then a man wearing a scholar robe knocked with urgency and came in.
Won said, "What is it Frederic?"
Fredrick bowed deeply, "My king."
Fredrick was the basically the butler of the royal castle and was in charge of Won's schedule, food and other secular matters.
Frederick rose and said, "Prince Rupert of the Empire has come to meet his majesty."
Won's face didn't change at all as if expecting so and asked, "Did he mention his reason for coming."
Fredrick nodded, "The prince said he is in place of his father sent here to observe and judge his majesties rule. He is here with the Seal of the Emperor and will judge his highness and then report back to the Emperor and if they both find you lacking they will send an official decree not recognizing your Kingship. Although you would still be a King there would be many problems. Ranging from the peoples trust and even their security as without the Empires approval our land is considered a neutral zone and the demonic and Unorthodox factions can enter and do as they wish and no one will help us. Furthermore trade with other Kingdoms will likely decline and our economy will plummet."
Won nodded and smiled slightly, "Let the little Prince in."
When Frederick left, Won leaned his head on his hand and laughed slightly as a curved toothy demonic smile appeared on his lips, "Haha. How exhilarating."
...
The prince had long black hair nicely tied into a hair piece, his brown chocolate like eyes carried a sharpness and allure to them. His nose was sharp and his brows like swords, his entire self releasing a confidence and inviolable authority.
Won laughed slightly, "This King welcomes the Prince. How may this one help this great sir?"
Prince Rupert looked around and after making a quick glance across the room then turned to Won and his rose slightly and finally replied, "This Prince greets the King. I am here for business on behalf of my father The Emperor."
Won nodded, a loud laugh escaping his lips.
"Is that so. Well sir I ask you to enlighten those who don't know."
Although their exchange seemed amicable it was anything but. Sparks flew across the room as two Dragon's stared at each other.
Won sneered internally, "You brat trying to scare me? Who doesn't know your father is the Emperor!"
Prince Rupert laughed and said, "Not much needs to be discussed simply your capability of ruling this nation and being it's king."
Won asked, "Isn't capability the only thing needed to be King?"
An age old anger appearing. Did he dare not desire, because it wasn't his place to desire?
Prince Rupert laughed, "Many can be capable, but few are Kings."
Won chuckled, "Oh and what is the requirement to be King?"
Prince Rupert laughed, "It's simply destiny."
Won noiselessly stared at Prince Rupert with cold eyes and said, "A King to you is someone who does your bidding, a mere servant. That is not a real King. A King is a supreme force, undisputable by God and Heaven. A King is not the Heaven's Mandate, he is the one who revolts against the Heavens."
Prince Rupert laughed, "And you are one fit to defy the Heavens?"
Won's aura leaked out like a billowing fog, the windows cracked and shattered and Prince Rupert was thrown to the floor.
A bloodthirsty aura spread and made on shiver uncontrollably, even the Guards in the dark brought by Prince Rupert were shivering.
Won stood up and walked towards Prince Rupert.
"Little Prince I've been nice considered your father, but don't you think you are going too far in your blatant criticism and disrespect?"
Won said as he waved his hands and the glass surrounding the room was shattered into dust, and brought above Won's heads in several dozen swords.
"Little Prince don't you think you should show some respect. Although you are the prince of the Empire, I am a King."
Prince Rupert laughed, "You haven't been officially appointed yet commoner Won."
Won snickered, "Little prince didn't your father teach you that you should be humble? Even though the Emperor is in power, do you truly think he's strong? The Kings are the one's who give him power and we can also take it from him. I'm sure your father taught you that. I mean lets be honest your father can't do anything to me. If he was serious of removing my seat all he had to do was issue a official decree saying my rule is not accepted by the Empire. He could have sent people to kill me or even destroyed my Kingdom. So why hasn't he? Because he can't trust what will happen by him doing that. Honestly you coming is just a customary process for my Kingship. Just wait as soon as you leave the castle an official decree of me being King will be released."
Prince Rupert stared wide-eyed at Won.
Won sighed and shrugged his shoulders and said, "But fine to broker good ties between us two I'll explain why the King was deposed. Fredrick bring what I prepared."
"Yes your majesty."
Fredrick then brought a cart with countless books.
Won smirked, "These books contain all the Kings transgressions, the nobles transgressions as well. From kidnapping, rape, extortion, even planning of killing another king and local officials. My, my, how rotten. Yet you want to see the icing on top of the cake? The Blood King was hired by Julius. Yes the Blood King the leader of the demonic faction, the person who killed your mother and little sister and extracted their blood and soul for his twisted Cultivation of magic. The Blood King who only takes the payment of an entire Kingdom full of blood as payment, the Blood King who needs a initial payment of twenty virgins and 10,000 children! The disgusting and deplorable Blood King was indeed hired by the former King. Do with that how you will, but listen to this more importantly. The Blood King who made the Empire tremble, was killed by me. I am the Killer of Kings! Tell every Demonic representative I killed that old fuck and that I welcome any of them to come for me! I'll personally welcome them with the same hands that killed their king."
Won's aura became extremely sharp, but then faded away as soon as it appeared.
Won chuckled as he retreated to his throne and sat on it.
His laughter the only thing echoing in the silence. Like a shriek of a banshee in the night it struck fear to the soul.
Prince Rupert threw away all the pride he had and saw the person in front of him.
He was not a Human. He was a demon who's hand wrapped upon the entire world, and with a single jerk everything made would crumble like ash to be forgotten.
...
In a black castle where blood dripped from the walls, ceilings and bubbled upon the floor like lava. Upon a bed with two women wrapped in his arms a man with black hair and a chiseled jaw asked, "What? The one who killed the Blood King is the new King of Gracia. Impossible that old man is too fucking strong and even more disgusting, theres no way he actually died."
Kneeling before this man was a black shadow who asked, "What shall we do Wretched King?"
The black haired man thought it over as he sucked his lip, "Well it's thanks to him I became King. But the kids won't be happy if I hinder them. Just send off whoever wants to to do whatever they wants, that's anyway the essence of the Demonic Faction. Anyway it will also allow us to understand that man named the Killer of Kings. If he's strong we'll hide and or serve as his servants even if those brats are arrogant in front of strength they are no better than chickens, if he's the same strength as us we'll ally with him or atleast avoid him till we can kill him. If he's weak we'll devour him."
The Black shadow nodded, "Yes Wretched King. I shall inform the faction of your will."
The Black haired man nodded.
The Black Shadow melted into the ground and dissapeared.
The Wretched King thought it over and sighed, "I'll either be the best King or the last king. Ai I hate these bloody fellows with strength. Why can't everyone just be weak."
He then shook his head left and right before pouncing on the girls by his side.
...
Won sat in front of a Giant map.
He laid his head on his crossed forearms. He smirked with a laugh, "Hehe. How will you fellows move? Let's have fun shall we."
