Danger
Numerous undercurrents were happening under the city of Maui, but the Sinclair family remain clueless and are on vacation mode.
Hans was still napping on the limousine ride, while Sae finally quitted down, looking around the beautiful scenery.
Meanwhile Dante was busy taking a phone call, he was confirming the abandoned dungeon that was just about around the perimeter of the islands.
His eyes flashed, and quickly replied, "I will head there after checking in the hotel, make sure to not let anyone notice our movements."
The other side of the phone call quickly complied and ordered his men to set up a [Cloaking Barrier].
And before the Sinclair family knew it, the mana-powered limousine arrived at the Maui Pearly Beach Resort; the best beach in the world.
The hotel itself look pristine, its high rise buildings with numerous manors and villas sprawled around it.
True to its name, Sae saw numerous wonderful sights, the sand was unnaturally white while the water was so crystal clear that she can see numerous fishes and corals even just by looking in the window.
There was a super-golf, super-basketball, and also some recreational natural spas in the surroundings.
The things that could be done in this resort alone was so numerous that Sae felt dizzy on which she would ultimately choose to do.
Dante was indifferent towards this since he came to this place twice, while Hans was still napping; exhausted and reserving his energy for the inevitable.
Sae woke up the dozing Hans while Dante stepped out of the vehicle, he ordered his butler to check in the manor that he rented for 7 days.
He then ordered some servants to carry their baggage to the room.
Meanwhile, when that was happening Hans just woke up, he saw Sae's excited expression and already knew they arrived.
He stepped out of the vehicle and saw the resort, he couldn't help but take in a deep-breath.
All his nerves relaxed, and the salty air around the sea tasted just about right, the suffocating royal castle was too much for the recently transmigrated Hans.
He saw his father ordering the servants around, and then took a phone call. He noticed me and just glanced towards my direction.
I knew he was going to the abandoned dungeon, it is an important affair, much important than us. he thought.
Dante then gazed at Sae, he sighed, "Sorry daughter, father has official business and has to go. Make sure to enjoy the time you spend with your Royal Brother."
"But dad...", Sae was about to tear up, but when she glanced up she saw that her father already disappeared.
She felt really empty at the moment, luckily...
"Hey who needs father anyone, Big sis let's go check this place out.", Hans didn't wait for Sae and walked around the resort.
It was beautiful, unearthly, and this moments was when he would really process that he was no longer on earth.
Such a place of beauty... What a pity.
Hans sighed, this sight won't be around here much for long.
He turned around only to see Sae sullenly looking around, but her pure excited eyes gave her away.
Hans chuckled and took Sae's hand.
"EEP, LET GO!"
"NAH, WE HAVING FUN BIG SIS!!!", his prideful prince image broke, now he just looked like an eager teenager who wants to have some fun.
Hans found a receptionist, he told them they were gonna go jet-skiing and only one jet-ski.
Sae was busy being dumbfounded by this new image she discovered to her brother, she can't help but feel warm about the gesture so she shook all those depressive thoughts away.
She smiled brightly again for once, dazing numerous bystanders.
And before she knew it, Hans tightened his grip and was already running towards the nearest jet-ski on the beach.
It was a new brand, it looked pretty bad-ass with its cool fire vinyls with its futuristic look.
Hans excitedly leapt to the jet-ski and gestured Sae to sit on his back.
Sae complied and sat down, the seat was leathery yet it felt strangely soft and comfortable. She clung onto Hans, then the jet-ski roared into life.
VRMMM
It sped off!
The speed reached about 100 knots.
"WOHOOOO!", Hans howled.
"YEAA! HAHAHAAH!"
While Sae just laughed merrily, the water was getting annoying on her face but as a superhuman, it was nothing.
The jet-ski made huge waves disrupting the tranquil sea, but the onlookers weren't even mad since the atmosphere was jovial.
Hans drifted around the water, his speed reaching new heights and even he couldn't handle it anymore that he stopped.
Hans sighed in relief while laughing, he had so much fun.
Outside of his expectations though,
"Little bro, can I drive also..?"
Sae made that face again that speak of trouble, this face has given him numerous headaches in the past.
Hans scrunched his hair and sighed, "Fine, just be caref..."
"Yay! Thank you HAHAHAHA!"
Sae pushed of Hans that he nearly fell in the water, he glared angrily to Sae who was laughing mischeviously.
She was now on the drivers seat, starting up the Jet-ski.
Hans sat down obediently at the back, a bit nervous.
VRMMM
Nothing, will happen right?
That day, a startling shriek of a young man rang throughout the Maui Pearly Beach Resort, startling numerous tourist.
_____
About thousands of kilometers away from the Maui Pearly Beach Resort, was an island of mystery.
It exuded a deep sense of dread, and emptiness.
Skeletons and zombies ran about, they were devastating a seemingly corrupting island.
The black veins that were protruding above ground were so disgusting that it looked like black worms wriggling about.
There were numerous violet-armored individuals clearing out the area, they were the Prideful Knight Order of the Sinclair family.
In the skies was a middle-aged man with refined features, his black raven hair seemingly freely flowing around the wind with his piercing red eyes intently looking at a dark hole.
One of the armored knights came in front of Dante, he was the one answering to his calls.
"Anything extra that I should know?" The King of Sin inquired, though he wouldn't bother if even a S-Class boss was inside the dungeon.
The knight pondered for a moment before giving a brief overview again,
"The dungeon contained numerous C to B-Class monsters, no signs of demon activity or negative mana being used. Also, it looked like the dungeon just recently appeared about ten years ago, judging by the level of corruption..."
Dante couldn't bother anymore and just headed straight to the entrance.
"WAIT KING!!!"
But the King of Sin has already disappeared, teleporting inside.
The knight sighed, he was just about to say that the corruption felt too fast.
An abandoned dungeon would not be able to corrupt this much landmass in just a short amount of time.
With the King's power he would just be able to deal with it like always. he thought reassuringly.

Meanwhile Hans was inside resting on his room, it was the smallest room of the three masters bedroom.
His head was deep inside the pillow while the Manavision, the television of this world, was playing in the background.
He was spent, this day was too fun and tiring.
After that scary rocket ride from Sae, they went around the beach finding F-Class Hermit Crabs then miraculously found some newly hatched turtles, after that they went on an ATV ride around a trail, afterwards Sae wanted to hike because a waterfall is just near said one of the travelers.
It was a beautiful waterfall, yet the supposedly 'near' waterfall was about 10KM away.
The adventure was perilous but it was all worth it, the sight of that waterfall was too wonderful.
It was not as grand as Niagra falls nor as tall as the Angel falls, but it was certainly the most prettiest one he has ever seen.
They went and cliff dived around it, there were also some tourists and guards lurking around the area so it was relatively safe.
Though the Suits were annoying to deal with, they really know how to make a good resort.
Just remembering that one free fruit shake that was given out that rejuvenated all of his energy made him want to go at more attractions. Even the total coffee, and energy drinks that he drinks on a daily basis couldn't compare to the amount of energy he gained from that single drink.
Sae was really happy at the time, it looked like she really enjoyed it.
The last time that we went out was on mother's birthday...
Mother...
_____
Leona Sinclair, the queen of the Sin Kingdom and the only partner of the king despite having a harem being crucial because of their environment.
She was the personal maid of Dante, they were about the same age, and because the prince was pressured at all sides and the environment of the royal castle.
He was isolated and even his mother didn't spare him a glance, especially his father to which he never even saw once.
Dante never once has gotten any familiar love, only from Leona, they soon began to be best friends and rumors spread around that a prince from a concubine has befriended a lowly maid.
It was an outrageous scandal to the royal family, especially to once who bear the Pride Bloodline.
When they were about to be executed, Leona naturally awakened and she became a shooting star from then on.
She became Dante's personal knight, then they attended the academy together, when Dante returned home, he announced that she would be his only partner and fiancée.
Leona became the Knight-Captain of the Prideful Knight Order. Her charisma and magnanimity won the people and with both of them becoming a power couple, they rose to become King and Queen
Unbeknownst to the public though, Leona was a klutz, a very clumsy one.
Her pureness and naivety was so bad that she was nearly executed because she was 'rude' to the former king.
Certainly Sae and Leona was a bit too similar, though Leona gained maturity in the end, she was still the best mother anyone would want to have.
Kind, full of intention.
She was always around, to the point she neglected her work and focused on her children instead.
The father who was absent yet there, was always stoic yet full of principles and wisdom.
He seemed all-knowing and omnipotent that it felt like the world would never crumble under his shoulders.
But not everything would go in your way, especially if you are weak.
A scene that was forever ingrained in the mind of Sae and Hans, it was Leona, their mother who had the brightest smile, had her stomach impaled by a black hand holding a pure white ball in its hand.
Where did things go wrong from there?
Father looked frozen in shock, his body couldn't move even an inch at the time.
It was like an impossible thing appeared before him, even the sight of his wife dying slowly came to be ignored by him.
Hans didn't know at the time, but now he knew from his past life who that was.
It was a demon, a demonic prince, Lucious the Pride-less.
The most cunning and unscrupulous individual.
His four horns were eerily unnaturally crooked, his demonically androgynously beautiful face was captivating, yet what was the striking was his smile.
It was a smile of success.
He got the talent that was mostly sought after by demons [Purus Spiritus (SS)].
A talent that would make him transcend and become stronger.
Lucious flew away, completely indifferent to the Sinclair family.
That day, Dante and Hans changed.
Half the royal family was annihilated by Dante, they colluded with demons exposing his wife's talent.
Even Sae changed, her eyes seemed purer, but deep within hides a hidden depth.
_____
Inside the Abandoned Dungeon, there was a man with a very disheveled figure. He wasn't steadily standing, and numerous bloody scars ran across his body.
It was Dante, he just killed the boss of the Dungeon.
It was a huge zombie drake, tens of holy sword impaled in its chest.
He held a book in his hands, he was trembling with trepidation, a natural skill book!
It was perfect!
[Parellel-Mind]
Without hesitation, he absorbed it and within seconds.
He stood there frozen.
Dante barely contained his scream, the pride that was already long broken was only the thing that kept him sane in the process.
His eyes flashed, and he felt his mind smoother than ever.
But suddenly
His [Danger Sense] Spell was triggered.
The spell that he wish he had created ten years ago, he would never let anyone touch his family ever again!
