Test

The book of kyokushin karate involves every single move, including the four guardian gods. Granted, my body is definitely not strong enough to handle the four guardian gods.

So for now, I stick to the basics. Build a solid foundation before even attempting the guardian gods.

How long do I have before serafall gets here? Can't actually remember.

My stats have increased quite a bit. Well, training like this will do it to you.

Currently, all I've got on is black business pants and black socks. The noble attire gets a bit stuffy so I had Sebastian get me some more simple clothes.

I should ask if we have a training room.

[-750 damage]

Fuck... before I had realised, I'd fallen to my knees. I could feel my blood pouring from the general area of my left kidney.

[Paralytic poison nulllified]

How ironic. I faceplanted forward, if I've been paralysed, I've gotta play the part. I really do if I want to survive.

"Hmm. You're pretty boring. I stabbed you and you don't even scream. Old man Zekram said this might be hard, can't see why." The casual yet sadistic tone of a woman.

Curious. So zekram bael wants me dead is it?

"My lord! Are you..." That's Sebastian's voice, was he monitoring me? I suppose I can thank him for that.

Right, I need to see what's going on, without moving. Let's see, think, think. Magical energy probably won't work as I'm not able to hide it due to my amateurish skill.

Hmm, if I can sense life force, who's to say I can't control it?

I started sensing my own life force and it was truly strange. Seeing green energy running through my veins.

[Quest generated]

Survive

Rewards: the arrival of three Nox Nictoris in this world.

That... could potentially be very bad. It might not even give me one.

Damn, focus. I can vaguely feel the energy of everyone in the room.

_________________________________________

"You... I recall you being an infamous human assassin. Clementine was it? It matters not. Whelps such as yourself will be gutted like fish." Sebastian pulled on his glove before lowering his stance, hands at the ready on either side.

"A whelp? Rude bastard. My orders were just to stab the handsome bastard! All I wanted was to gut him and get this done with! Though... I was thinking of having a bit of fun with him." The ginger haired girl had such a large smirk, it angered Sebastian so dearly.

So dearly that he tried to skewer her with his arm in a spear hand form. It was not a spear hand technique, no, his hand had quite literally become five small spears.

"Invulnerable fortress!" The snapping, twisting and spurting of blood was the result.

"Aw, is the butlers fingers broken? Oh no, how will you serve anyone else?" Sebastian was angry, pissed, enraged. But he couldn't use his magic, his lord was at risk.

"Disrespectful!" Sebastian quickly snapped his fingers back into place, as if numb to pain.

Clementine cringed as she dropped her cloak, revealing what seemed to mainly be just a bra and panties? The butler was baffled, even if she was an assassin, not a single piece of armor guarding her vitals?

The woman had some form of tights with metal shoes and one metal boot going up to her thigh. Gauntlets could be seen gripping stilettos.

"Curious about my clothes? Naughty servant! Though, I'd give you a taste if you became my dog. How about it?" A vein bulged on sebastians forehead.

"There is one thing that I cannot forgive, DISLOYALTY!" Sebastian threw a book at the girl, it flew through the air with the speed of bullet, barely missing as a result of clementines movements.

'If he keeps going like that, I won't last long. Usually I'm confident in my speed, but I'm only bordering ultimate class. This is an ultimate class devil.' Clementine took a lower, more runner like stance.

"Flow acceleration, pace of the wind, ability boost, greater ability boost!" With this, clementine was confident!

Sebastian prepared himself, only for her murderous smirk to widen.

As she launched herself towards the window of the study. Clementines goal was never to fight, just injure and escape!

Unfortunately for her, even with all her enchantments...

She was hopelessly outclassed.

Sebastian snatched her out of the air before she even reached the window, throwing her back and burying herself against the wall.

'Shit... I... i can't get away. I'm going to die... what... what can I... zekram! The old bastard gave me...' Clementine shambled to her feet and looked around, blood running down her forehead.

She looked around the room, there! Her cloak! Clementine rushed to it, barely avoiding sebastians grasp and grabbing the cloak, pulling something out of her hood, a spherical device comprised of red and black energy.

"You... you would dare!? To bring one of that bastards bombs!"

"A girls gotta do..." a bit of blood was coughed up. " What she gotta do..." The room fell into a tense silence, sebastian scanning the room, thinking how he could get his lord... out?

Where... where had he gone?

"And a girls gotta expect retribution when she attacks a man." The sound of flesh being stabbed through was gut wrenching as he pried her hope from her cold hands before she slumped to the floor.

"No... I... I don't wanna die!" Zetian, with his side still bleeding, looked down on the girl with a grin reminiscent of his father.

"Tell me, what are you willing to do?" Clemetine could feel the blade in her gut, it wouldn't take much effort to gut her.

"Anything." In a flash of purple magic, a contract appeared in front of the girl.

"If you sign that, you'll be my property. You'll live." The girl weakly reached for the contract, smearing her name in blood on the contract.

Zetian left the blade in and slowly lay her down on her side.

"Sebastian. Firstly, call a hospital. As much as I wouldn't like to reveal myself yet, I have around 2 hours before I bleed out and you can't heal both of us. Secondly, fix up clementine."

That was a stressful event, I guess the Quest isn't done yet because I'm still bleeding out.

Hm? Here already? Those hospitals work quick if there's already a devil here.

The door to my study was quickly shoved open, and in came a man with a large feathered coat, witch doctor hat with blue lines. His hair was a noticeable shade of deep blue, pink eyes staring at me with an expressionless face covered by a half gas mask.

That old timey' fashion sense... reminds me of someone I knew. His boots echoed through the room.

"Sarion Sitri. I'm here to patch you up. Asmodeus was it? My sister will want to speak to you after you're all patched up. I'll tell her your awake." Straightforward approach... now all I need to know is if he has a fascination with guns.

"What is your opinion on... firearms?" My confusion was clear as I watched my blood seep right back into my wound and Sarion pulled out a needle before stitching my wound up with the speed of a high class devil.

"Guns are wonderful instruments of man used to inflict death on a scale greater than any other." What a coincidence. I know only one man with such a precise and unusual opinion.

"Sam..." I whispered out, his eyes widened and he slammed the back of my head against my desk. Ah, it's him.

[-50 dmg]

"Be careful with me Sam! It's just your old friend Nate. Didn't think you would be Reincarnated too."  Sarion quickly let go.

"You always were someone to jump to conclusions..." I slowly but surely got back up, bracing myself on the desk before maneuvering myself around it and sitting in my chair.

"I think I have good reason to jump to conclusions in this situation. And, I don't know if Daniel is here."

'Good old Daniel. Absolute sociopath but an overall fun guy.' I kinda miss him honestly.

"Good to know. Anyway, how's your life been so far?" If I know Sam, I wonder how many he's killed?

"Fun. As the head doctor in training, i find it a cathartic experience to pull the plug on a dying man's life support prematurely." Haha! No wonder he became a doctor!

"That's fair. And due to your position, I take it that so long as you don't pull the plug on an heir, you're fine." Sarion nodded as he turned away.

"I'll go contact my sister. As I know right now, she's in a meeting. So you'll likely have an hour or two to make yourself presentable. And I don't think I need to say this, but I do not care for whatever you do to her." Of course he doesn't.

None of us have ever really been one for family.

Dominic toretto would be disappointed.

All three of us didn't care for much than our own enjoyment.

Hence the reason we died. Me, Sam and Daniel got bored and decided to cause an incident.

You see, the challenge was how long we could survive. We lasted, 3 days was it? The bodies started to Pile up and that made things a lot easier, especially after we stole the bulletproof vests and their spare ammo.

It only ended after we got to the point of killing the riot team with various IED's. Because at that point, they just sealed the entrances and set up snipers watching every window.

At that point, they were just waiting for us to starve. And the whole point of this was relieving boredom. Though, we all were injured to some degree. So we took the logical way out.

Suicide.

We're not gonna sit there and starve to death when the whole purpose was to relieve boredom.

So, we blew the whole place sky high. Several gas explosions did the job.

But, we made a promise. If we ever meet each other again...

[Quest complete]

Rewards: the arrival of 3 Nox Nictoris.

Fuck... I forgot about that...

As soon as the Quest popped up, I felt a pain in my leg.

[-189 dmg]

You little shit! In my leg, was ouroboros. The Nox Nictoris of one yuki Terumi, also know as Hazama from the blazblue series.

This is real fucking bad. Ouroboros damages body, mind and soul.

The damage of ouroboros that you just took was only to register you as its user. That will not scar your soul or damage your mind.

I... guess that's comforting? I'm still on the brink of death though.

After tearing ouroboros out of me, I slouched in my chair. This has been quite the stressful day.

My door was pushed open.

"Afternoon Zetian Asmoedeus. I'm devil king Serafall leviathan." For once, she was oddly serious. Guessing its because I'm an important heir.

"Drop the pretenses and formality. If We're to discuss something, I'd rather it be entirely honest instead of you trying to be overly serious. Something you very much, aren't."

"Okay! Zet-chan~♡!"
