Zachery's brows sprang up as if they were going to fly away on their own. His face distorted into a horrible resentment that covered his entire body.
His confident stride faltered, nearly knocking him off balance.
'...What the duck is this, Alexa?" Zachery's heart was raging, yet he didn't forget to look at the big picture. Despite the fact that the situation was certainly unfavorable and unfair. He needed to think of a way or loophole for this dreadful title.
What kind of rank would anyone give this title? E rank? No! this was definitely Z rank!
At least, it should have given him +1 strength!
...
[Zach, you seriously can't expect this sort of massive inheritance to not come with some price, right? You yourself had said that there was no free lunch in this world, right?] Alexa's soft voice was like a cool breeze in the midst of a raging inferno.
But Zachery was still unable to accept his situation. He could have lived his entire life without lying! But what was this abomination of a condition?
Zachery breathed a deep breath so as to calm his tense nerves.
So... how was he supposed to deal with this?
Conquering even a portion of the Mother System large enough to encompass numerous galaxies and multiple planets associated with it without suffering a single loss...
[The condition stated that you could never lose 'your' battles right?] Alexa replied as if she was hinting at Zachery with something. Zachery, on the other hand, Zachery simply shook his head.
He'd also previously considered it. The title never stated that he had to win every combat, only the one in which he participated in, implying that he had to physically participate in the conflict.
But that was also just bullshit.
Zachery was extremely confident in his commanding and leading abilities, but if he had to select and choose battlefields, as well as restrict himself from the ones he may have a probability of losing... Then all he could say was that he was going to lose sight of the greater picture.
In a battle, you had to have the big picture in mind at all times. One of the many plans he was the maneuver to sacrifice your territory so that your attacker could burrow further into your plot.
It wasn't that he couldn't, but there was always the penalty hanging over his head like mountains that put perpetual pressure on him.
And that pressure would always distract him from the bigger picture.
It was not just that, if he was going to be strong in the future, he would constantly be on the battlefield where the strongest were present. Then what would be the point of picking fights? It was all counterproductive when this title came.
Zachery knew himself too well to trust his personality. He was short-tempered and too lazy, he was a mortal too.
After all of this, he realized he needed to improve his personality. Otherwise, he would inevitably perish, leaving no one the wiser.
He desperately needed time to transform himself for the better, but with this title, he'd have to toss that out the window.
Zachery closed his eyes, calming his strained and racing heart. He would find a way. He had to find a way.
[And, by the way, conquering everything includes not just conquering territory, but also conquering women. If you ever married or took a concubine. You'd have to make certain that she's subjugated by you.]
[Otherwise, if she were ever to cheat on you...] Alexa's voice to the end was barely audible as Zachery's face was contorted into a hideous expression.
He could just guess that if he would ever conquer as much as a Kingdom or an Empire, he would most probably have to take a concubine or two because power struggle became all but a bloodbath on Axis if you didn't choose a moderate route.
But that was not the reason why he had the hideous expression.
Zachery had inexplicably felt that Alexa had targeted him with merciless indifference to keep it in his mind.
Rage, guilt, and sorrow filled his face as he attempted everything he could to keep his emotions in check and ask the most essential question.
"This title... it doesn't count the past, right?" Zachery gritted his teeth as he managed to ask the question.
Yes, Zachery was cheated upon, twice at that, by separate women, and it left a terrible scar in his heart that he even now was unable to overcome.
[...No] Alexa's voice was barely audible, but Zahcery heard it and exhaled a sigh of relief. For the time being, he was safe.
Otherwise, he would have been the biggest joke in the history of Omniverse.
Think about a man who died because his wife had been unfaithful to him, and that too in the past.
But it seemed like Lady Death had fallen far for Zachery.

Maintaining requisite:- Each woman should be of superior class.
Effect:- Nil
Penalty: Death]
Zachery squinted his eyes as he read the title's maintaining requisite. He swore both Hel and Grendum with all that he knew in his vocabulary.
Zachery wasn't weak in seducing women, but he was more of a one-woman man. So, he wasn't even willing to go through with it. But alas, fate had something else in store for him.
Zachery sighed as he remembered all the plans he had to abandon. Necromancers were infamous for their callous disregard for their minions, but Zachery would now have to consider the placements of even smaller units with the utmost seriousness.
Zachery had been meditating and regulating his burning emotions while sitting on the obsidian floor. But, now that he could, he had to move on.
Then came the question of what these inheritances held that may offset the various disadvantages that it held.
