5 Crystal.

"Who's talking?!" I asked.

(Over here...) The voice said.

I looked around but did not found anyone.

"Where?" I asked.

(Follow my voice.) She said.

Doing what the mysterious voice said, I followed it until I reached a wall.

"Okay... What now?" I asked.

(It is a fake wall, destroy it or find another way inside.) She gave me two options.

"There's no way I'm going to destroy this wall. If I did, it would cause a commotion in the castle and I might get into more trouble for that." I said before I began to analyze the wall.

(You are no fun... Fine, find the secret mechanism in the wall.) She said.

Looking at it, I deduced that it should be something like a button. After thinking of this, I began to touch the wall. Suddenly, I pressed something and... It did nothing.

Then I pressed on another button that I found and the previous button returned to it's normal position.

"Ohh. Don't tell me that there is a sequence of buttons that I have to press." I lamented before I began to search for more buttons.

(Good luck.) She mocked me.

After 1 hour.

"Fucking finally! I lost 1 hour of my life doing this useless puzzle! You better be worth all my time." I was angry.

After I pressed the buttons in a sequence, the wall opened.

(Shut up and keep walking.) She said.

After walking for a few minutes in a dark tunnel, I reached a room that had a podium. On this podium, there was a crystal.

"You are the Crystal, right?" I asked after I saw it.

(Wrong. This crystal is only a part of me.)

Getting near, I grabbed the crystal and inside of it, I could see a faint silhouette of what it looked to be a woman. I could only see the outline of her figure, the rest is all dark and hard to see.

"Who are you?" I asked while trying to see her face.

(I am Nyarlathotep.)

"Bless you." I said.

(Ha, ha, ha. How funny.) She said in a mocking tone.

Smiling, I asked. "But who are you, I have read many books and never heard of you."

(*Sigh*. I was once one of the strongest beings around the universe. I went around while causing chaos in every place I passed by. It was a lot of fun. However, apparently the other beings that ruled the universe didn't like the fact that I went around destroying world after world and causing chaos in every place I touched or appeared.) She answered.

"So, you want to use me to live again?" I asked.

(You are surprisingly straight foward. However, this is not my goal. While I would love to live again or possess your body and cause chaos again. But it isn't as easy as it sounds. If I do that, I will be hunted again and will end with the same fate or a worse one.) She lamented.

"It would be worth even if you live for a small period of time." I shrugged.

(It is not like I haven't thought of it. However, I denied this option after I saw you.)

Surprised, I pointed at myself. "Me?"

(Yes, you. You are the first one to stand in front of me without losing your mind or fearing me. But it is not only that. The real reason is your desire for strength and the chaos deep inside your eyes.

You would cause as much if not more chaos than me. I can see it in your eyes. Guiding you to cause chaos and destruction might be more fun than doing it myself.) She said.

This made me smile and laugh. "I know that you are not telling me everything. But it doesn't matter. What matters is if you can really make me strong or not." I wondered.

(I want to propose you a deal. You will give me a place inside your soul for me to stay and help me collect the other crystals that have parts of my powers and memories. In return, I will give you power. Power that you never got and would never be able to get.) She proposed.

"What will you do with the crystals?" I had to know, after all, I will let her live inside my soul.

(You will be the one who will absorb the powers while I will recover my memories. And don't worry about the soul part, I will live inside you since it is the easy way for me to survive and to help you at the same time.) She said.

'At this moment, what do I have to lose? If she possess my body, at least she would be able to kill this pathetic family of mine.' I thought before I nodded.

After this, the crystal floated and entered inside my chest.

"I don't feel stronger." I said.

(Chaos System Initiating.) Suddenly, a screen appeared in front of me.

In this screen, a bar appeared and began to slowly be filled. When it reached 100%...

(Onee-san will explain what the system is.) This surprised me.

"Onee-san?" I asked.

(You wanted to create a family. I'm willing to join your family as your Onee-san.) She said.

"I don't want you in my family. I simply said.

(Are you sure that you don't want Onee-san in your family, Mitsu-kun?) She asked in a irritating voice.

This made one of the veins in my head pop and a smile appear in my lips. But it was not one of happiness, it was one of extreme anger.

"Shut up and get to the point." I said.

(Hehehehe. You are so cute when embarassed. Ahem, I can't give you my powers because your body won't be able to take it and I'm not that strong, since my powers are spread throughout different worlds and places for me to give you them or at least to guide you to where you can get stronger.

But first, you need to complete tasks. And your first one is to get your second family member.) She said.

"I don't have a family member to start with." I corrected her.

(Onee-san is offended!) She complained.

Ignoring her, I began to think. 'I can't get out of the Gremory estate, since it would cause huge interracial problems. The Fallen Angels and Angels have a very fragile peace treaty and there are still a lot of groups that hate the current government.

If a word got out that I have escaped the Gremory estate, I would be chased by all factions, after all, I still am Sirzechs' son. If this happened, I could be used in political leverage or as revenge.' I began to search for ways to get out of here.

(I have a solution to your problems.) Suddenly, Nyarlathotep said.

"Great, now she read my thoughts. I cannot even think in my mind without her knowing. Why didn't you said this earlier?' I asked her.

(Mitsu-kun, you don't need to get family members in this world.) She mysteriously said.

"And how will I be able to get out of here?"

(I can place you in another world. While Great Red is the protector of this world, for me, he is just the Great Overgrown Lizard. I can easily slip out of his radar and make you travel to another world.) She offered.

"And what are you waiting for?" I asked while a big smile appeared in my lips, I even ignored the fact that she called me Mitsu-kun.

(I will send you to the perfect world, once there, you will only be able to return when you get your first family member.) After she said this, a red portal appeared near me.

While entering in it, I began to laugh. This laugh echoed in the room and the hallway, until it reached the library. If someone heard it, he would be deeply disturbed to why a child had this laughter.
