3 First Subordinate Selena

Before leaving the house he did not forget to bid farewell to his father so that they won't be worried if he won't come back.

After relieving his worries, he decided to go to Everlasting City which is 20 miles away from their home where there are many snakes and dragons mixed together. Then called a taxi using his phone which is just similar to his previous life.

Everlasting City was built not long ago, according to his predecessor's memory it was built 10 years ago.

Everlasting City also has another name called Holy Capital as it is the only city that is not under the governments but the Top 5 families in the world.

Those families who are listed in the top 10 their forces in the dark are extremely huge, huge enough to even fight a country.

Even if his family will fight to the death with any of those families among the top ten, his Eclipse Family can only cut their one finger.

This is the scariest part among those top ten families and their connections around the world are not even included.

Max even saw the memory of his predecessor when his father was longing to enter Everlasting City.

Because once you join your status will become the same as those governments.

And so, under the efforts of the top ten families, Everlasting City instantly becomes the greatest attraction around the world be it, mortals or martial artists.

After 40 minutes, he finally arrived at his destination and saw many huge buildings with a logo at the top.

Then he immediately took his money and paid the taxi driver because he couldn't wait anymore to complete his mission.

"Let's eat first before going to the underground and also try to buy a mask so as to protect your identity," Max said to himself, and following his predecessor's memory, he quickly found a 6-star hotel which is not far away.

When he arrived he couldn't imagine that such a tall building can exist, even his previous world has a limit for fear that it will fall apart.

"Huh? Dragon? Isn't this the top 1 and also the most mysterious family?" Max said muttered in his heart after seeing his predecessor's memory where even his father only met a guard.

When Max entered he saw such a wide and majestic design on the wall and extremely expensive decorators.

Then he quickly towards the booth to check-in and saw a cute woman which looks around in her twenties.

"Hello, sir, Welcome to Dragon Star Hotel. How may I help you?" The cute woman said with a professional smile on her face.

Max nodded to the girl and said indifferently, "I want to check-in, gold class."

Then, the cute girl's eyes flashed and then immediately typed the data on her computer. After a minute she replied somewhat seductive, "Okay done sir, what payment do you wish to use?"

Max did not hesitate and immediately took a black card from his purse. When the cute girl saw the black card, her face immediately tightens, and a flash of horror appeared in her eyes and then immediately disappeared after remembering the background she works.

It can't be helped since only those top fifty families can have the black card and their chance to meet them is even pretty low than winning a lotto.

After all, a person from top fifties family will usually just call their mobs to ask them and let them go out if they want to buy something. So this is why the cute girl was afraid but quickly calmed down.

"Here you go sir, your room is Floor XXX." The cute girl immediately gave the black card respectfully no longer seductive and immediately called a professional butler using a button under the table.

As a black cardholder, any material things that can be bought with money are free all you need to do is to show your black card which makes Max felt good.

Then, a middle-aged man appeared wearing a black tuxedo while giving off a professional vibe.

"Good afternoon, Master. My name is Black and I will be serving you today with all my efforts. Shall I bring you to your respective room, master?" The butler called Black said with a slight bow respectfully which made Max flutter a bit.

Max coughed before replying, "It's too early I want to eat, prepare whatever you want."

Black was a little stunned but quickly said, "Your wish is my command, Master. Then please come with me."

No way, who asked Black to serve a member from top listed family? In fact, their butler levels are base on colors and of course, the Black is the best which only has ten.

Only those who have an extremely powerful identity can have their services, so this is why he didn't hesitate to show a respectful attitude in the first place.

After walking for a while, they appeared on Floor XX. There is a special place where most people go to eat because it can overlook as if you are a god.

Of course, such a place is simply to those with powerful identities so there are a few people eating right now.

And It didn't take time before Max's food arrived, and a great line up appeared behind Black. 5 staff wearing a red uniform with a dragon logo and each of them is bringing a service cart then aside from that there are also two five star chefs which can be said the top peak chief on the planet.

Such a lineup brought great curiosity from others who are eating!

And of course, the chefs aren't there to cook but to slice the food while Black will put it on the table every time Max tasted the food.

Max was really surprised by such a line up that they even brought two powerful top chefs in the world just to slice.

'This is power! Only when you have power can you let others serve you!' Max thought and his deep eyes flash with great brilliance while overlooking the world.

While tasting the food and not minding the staff and chefs on the side, he suddenly heard the sobbing voice of a woman.

Max was surprised and immediately looked back and saw a woman on the corner not far away from him who is trying to hold her tears.

Black also noticed the frown of his master and immediately whispered to Max, "Master, should I throw her out?"

It's not like Black doesn't care but no one among those who eat here right now has the same identity as his master. They are just ants at all.

Max smiled slightly when he heard Black's words and immediately shook his head and stopped looking. Everyone has their own troubles and he is not a saint who helped others.

It's a pity that her appearance could be said to be 86 points. Thinking about this, Max smiled wryly and started eating again until the system sounded on his mind.

[Ding! The System has detected a special physique. It will be up to the host whether you are willing to recruit them or not.]

System Tip: It is recommended to recruit them if you wanted to increase your chances of hegemony.

Max was stunned and he didn't system can be used this way. Then a map panel appeared hovering in the air and a green and red dot could be found.

After seeing it he asked the system what's his color but he didn't reply so he decided to walk and see which dot will move.

Under the gazes of Black and the rest, Max walked back and forth making them feel strange and thought it's just a hobby of a powerful person.

Then a minute later his color is green and the person with the special physique is red. Seeing that it's just pretty close around him he didn't hesitate to follow the map towards the red dot.

He didn't focus on his path but instead on the panel and even Black felt that Max is a bit strange.

It was only when Max saw that he is already close enough to the red dot and sure enough, a beautiful woman with red eyes stared at him vigilantly.

"Are you the one under him too?!" Selena said hoarsely with a hint of despair in her voice.

"Eh?!"

Max did not expect it's actually the woman who was crying and he couldn't help but look and down wondering why she has such a special technique when there's nothing even interesting aside from her beauty.

[Her special physique is currently hidden, Host. Only if there is a powerful artifact or powerhouse that can help her activate it.]

'No wonder.' Max nodded inside while looking at the woman with great curiosity, he doesn't care about the other people's strange gazes anymore.

Seeing her face full of vigilance and fear a smile appeared on Max's face and asked indifferently, "What's your name?"

Selena's nerves tighten and even started to step back unconsciously causing her to almost fall from the char.

Black and the rest especially those who are eating also saw this even if they want to help but they know that such a person with a great lineup can't be offended at all.

Selena who saw others not doing anything aside from staring at them the despair in her eyes even became stronger, faced without a choice she replied weakly, "Selena."

Max's eyes lit up and he leans forward close to her ears and whispered, "Max. Max Eclipse, the heir of the 42nd top listed family."

A horror appeared in the eyes of Selena this time her eyes no longer show a hint of despair but something like when a person completely gave up.

'I'm sorry mother & father, I can't avenge you anymore. A behemoth instead appeared in front of me and couldn't resist it at all.' Selena thought and remembering those days when her parents were brutally murdered.

Then she heard a voice and the words that completely made her dumbfounded, "Good! From now on you will be my subordinate. Work hard and I'll give you anything you want."

Max didn't whisper but said in a voice that only Selena can hear. Her dumbfounded look makes him laughed a bit.

Then Max immediately asked the system what to do next, "Now that I told her to become my subordinate system, what should I do?"

[Host, don't forget first to bind her soul using Soul of Orb.]

Max facepalmed he was too anxious and he thought, 'she should be powerful right in the future?'.

Then he stared at Selena with a strong voice that couldn't be rejected, "Follow me!"

A look of hesitation and struggle appeared on Selena's face and saw that Max's back is getting farther from her, then the scene of her parents getting brutally killed appeared in her mind.

Her eyes became firm as if she doesn't care anymore as long as she can avenge her family and immediately ran to Follow Max's footsteps.

Black and the rest were dumbfounded and they even thought, 'Is this how a person with powerful background pick up a girl?'

However, Black immediately woke up from being dumbfounded and immediately roared to the staff and the chefs, "Stop being dumbfounded and quickly follow the master!"

The five staff and two complain in their hearts but who told them to have low stats than a black butler? The status of Black Butler is almost comparable to a manager!

........

It didn't take a lot of time before Max arrived in his room together with Selena who has been quiet since she followed him.

Max told her to sit down first because he wanted to wash his face. After washing his face, he saw Selena fidgeting at the corner of her blouse.

'What a cute woman.' Max thought while looking at Selena with a smile.

Then his face suddenly became serious making Selena terrified and he said, "As what I just said earlier, I am the only heir of Eclipse Family, the top 42nd in the list," Seeing her attentive expression Max continued, "But I decided to build my own force because it will still take a long time before my father will retire and so you are my first subordinate."

Selena nodded but a confused look appeared on her face and asked, "But why me? My family isn't even listed we're just slightly capable."

"Because you are special."

A stunned expression appeared on her face and then a smile full of mockery formed, "Special? Since the day I was born every year there would be misfortunes happening around me. This year, I am 24 so this is my 24th misfortunes. However, I didn't expect it that it would cause my parents to get brutally murdered in front of my eyes."

This time, it was Max's turn to be stunned so he quickly asked the system in his mind, "What's the heck is happening with her, System? Is it because of her physique?"

[You are right, Host. She has a special physique called Eternal Darkness. Because it hasn't controlled by her the aura of special physique leaked and those who are near her will be affected and of them is the power of misfortune.]

[Eternal Darkness is an extremely powerful physique because their powers will double if there is darkness, they can also absorb darkness as their energy to grow stronger, aside from that they also have the power to cause misfortune to others without them knowing it. So once you are stared by someone with Eternal Darkness physique, you will face all sorts of troubles in the least expected situations making you unable to sleep hence those who have such powers will automatically be besieged by those top forces.]

[Of course, the most terrifying thing is their core skill called Darkness Demonification. Their strength will boost five times, their sense of smell, hearing, and more. Not only that, there are no side effects at all, but luckily it requires extreme darkness to activate it.]

"Fuck!!" Max cursed out loud startling Selena making her face pale.

He couldn't believe such a physique exists but what about me? Well, I believe system the won't let him down for sure.

Then Max heard Selena constantly apologizing while shivering as if it was her fault for making him angry.

Thinking of this, a flash of gentleness appeared in his eyes and quickly disappeared then he spoke softly and gently, "Don't worry it's not your fault, I was just thinking of something."

"Really?" Selena asked with red eyes as if her tears will fall again.

Max nodded and then stared at her with hot eyes and said solemnly, "Now that you are my first subordinate you must pass my first test."

Max then whispered to make the Soul of Orb appeared in his hand then showed it to Selena. I want you to drop your blood on this orb and you must not resist if you felt a connection seeping on your body otherwise it's a failure.

Then, Max gave the Orb of Soul to Selena and walk towards the kitchen to get a kitchen knife and immediately gave it to Selena, "Do it."

Selena hesitated and thought at first she's salivating her appearance but now this heir of the Eclipse family seems to be a cultist.

But Selena felt that if she rejected or failed then her guts told her she will definitely die faster! So with such a crisis in her heart, she quickly cut his finger making her face twitch.

Then a drop of few pints of blood hit the Orb of Soul, suddenly, the Orb of Soul glowed with red absorbing the blood.

After a few seconds, the blood disappeared as if going back to a common-looking small orb.

Such mystery caused Selena to get goosebumps but before she can react, she suddenly felt a weak connection seeping into her body until it seems it wants to enter to the deepest part however no such resistance should be done otherwise it will fail.

Meanwhile, Max, as the owner of Orb of Soul he can naturally feel that the deepest part is actually the 'door' of the soul.

"Selena, once the connection enters the deepest part then that means you will be my subordinate and also the leader. However, it also means your life and death is under my control." Max said to Selena who is closing her eyes due to the connection.

Then Max continued, "So follow your heart and choose your decision.," after speaking Max stopped speaking and watch Selena's decision.

Of course, he is not a saint once it fails he will naturally kill her even if she has to use the power of the Eclipse family.

Max doesn't want to happen something that usually happens in novels in his past life. An expert who recruited a person with a special physique and rose from shit to a dragon.

After Selena heard Max's voice the sense of crisis immediately appeared in her heart and immediately started to think.

But then a flash of a scene of her parents getting brutally murdered again in her mind. With that, she didn't hesitate any more and quickly let go of everything and calmed down.

After a minute, Selena has become the first to be bounded by the Orb of Soul. Meanwhile, Selena also felt her life is no longer in her hands and she realized the horror of Max.

Although their family wasn't listed they are also quite powerful and she hasn't heard someone having such a powerful orb.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for recruiting one of the twelve special physiques.]

[You received 10,000 Demon Points as a reward. Work hard to recruit more people!]

"Hahaha! It really first great having a subordinate." Max said to himself while staring at Selena with great satisfaction on his face.

[Ding! The system has detected Subordinate Selena for having the Eternal Darkness Physique. Do you wish to activate it?]

Hearing the voice of System, a flash of excitement appeared on Max's eyes, and said to Selena, "I will now give you your power and make sure to control it well."

Before Selena can talk, an unknown force suddenly seeped into her body as if trying to wake up something. Then, later on, Selena found herself in a space full of darkness.

Then, a black hole appeared in her forehead from slow to fast sucking the darkness of space.

Selena doesn't know how she has been here and even called for Max many times but didn't help her. So she didn't bother anymore and just waited how this goes.

After a long time in the space, what appears no longer dark but extremely white. Then, her mind is also full of strange memories that do not belong to her, and realized it's actually the power what Max said.

Boom! Puff!

A small shock wave hit Max's body since she sat beside her causing him to flew out and hit the wall.

"What a terrifying power!" Max said with great excitement in his eyes while staring at Selena whose aura seems to become stronger forgetting to wipe the blood on his face.

Then, a minute Selena opened her eyes and a brand new Selena appeared, "Selena greets the master."

As a previously ordinary woman who doesn't have a talent for martial arts, it was Max who gave her the power and also the man who controls her fate.

Selena believes that following such a person will be the greatest decision in her life!

Max stood up shakily while being helped by Selena whose face full of apology but Max did not care about his injuries.

What he cares about the most is that he has a powerful subordinate!

"Selena, I'll rest for a bit then we will go out and look for another four subordinates under you,", Max said while coughing also not forgetting to cursed in his heart, he felt his bones were broken because of the impact.

"I understand, master. I will also experiment with the power you gave." Selena smiled sweetly to Max feeling very excited.

Max looking at Selena's happy face he started to daydream about having recruited all those with the special physique under him to rule the universe! Then shook his head and headed towards his bedroom to take a nap.
