"My company's net worth is over a billion, I have 5 villas, the newest model Ferrari, BMV, tesla..."

Aurora who was dressed in her civilian clothes listened to the young master's words of how accomplished he was with hidden disgust written all over her face as she sipped her coffee.

In truth although the man in front of her was handsome and rich but who wasn't handsome as long as they had money these days, all she felt was disgust.

Not only because she fought an interstellar war but she also went through life and death but also because no matter how she compared him to Dracula he was just so so in her eyes.

So although she could have tolerated him before but after seeing Dracula crash the Einherjar into the enemy flagship and jump out of the bridge like the maniac he was in her half-conscious state after which she finally blacked out.

All the men except Dracula looked mediocre and there was no way in hell she was going to settle down for the rest of her life with someone like him.

The only reason she agreed to this blind date was because it was arranged by her mother who for the last ten years kept nagging her on finding herself a man.

After all, she was already 28 but considering that the human life expectancy had reached 150 years on average for those that went through genetic enhancement.

She was in no hurry to do so and although she knew deep down that it was logically impossible for Dracula to be alive she still harbored hope.

After all, Dracula had become the nation's number one most desired husband, there are countless men who lost the chance to get laid after the information about Dracula got declassified.

Truly it is really hard to match women's expectations in this day and age to the point that those who never wanted to serve signed up with tears in their eyes in hopes of coming back alive with at least a few merits of service on their belts.

Just as the man got to the part about how many watches he has made from gold the coffee shop's holographic screens that were translating popular advertisements switched to the national news broadcast.

"Attention all citizens we interrupt the program because of the awards ceremony of UNOEs hero Captain Dracula Von Death!"

As the words left the news reporter's mouth the whole coffee shop froze, everyone stopped doing what they were doing and cranked their necks to watch the news heck even the ones who just went to the bathroom stormed out from it while hastily zipping up their pants and fastening their belts.

After all no one has seen or heard from this guy for the entire ten years!

"...rank to Admiral!"

As these words left Ares's mouth everyone exploded.

"Oh my god! A 28 year old Admiral!"

"I want to have his baby!"

"Oh gods if only my son was that capable!"

"See! I told you the hero is alive the president didn't lie!"

The truth is if not for his injuries Dracula would have become an Admiral straight after the battle because his accomplishments were just that monstrous.

The man singlehandedly destroyed an entire fleet at the cost of only one battleship and several thousands of its crew!

Now you could say that the casualties were still extremely high after all thousands of the ship's crew died but then you compare it to the potential KIA count if the home Defense Fleet participated.

Then it's only right to say that the price the UNOE paid in the fleets personnel perspective is almost nonexistent.

Afterall then you put thousands against hundreds of thousands you can clearly see the difference!

"Hmph! That guy is just so-so! What's so good about being a soldier who knows only how to kill!"

Aurora's date named Andrew who was clearly jealous and had beef with Dracula said while snorting causing everyone in the cafeteria to glare at him with murderous eyes.

What did he expect? He was slandering the UNOEs hero! He was slandering the new god of war! Who was also a son of the current god of war!

Immediately the people took out their phones, took a pic, and became keyboard warriors, it didn't even take a few seconds for their posts to receive millions of views and murderous comments.

[Tch! F*cking bastard! dare badmouth our god of war! Where the f*ck were you then the god of war was fighting for the likes of you!]

[Blergh! People like him make me want to vomit my guts out!]

[Damn bastard! Just you wait ill brake your legs and hands for slandering God Drac!]

Even Aurora couldn't keep it in.

"The man you're badmouthing is a hundred times the sorry excuse of a man you are, I'll make sure my father stops doing business with you and then that happens good luck swindling you're way out of marine core then the next round of conscription happens in fact I think I should tell my mom to take a look on who exactly did you pay to evade the conscription."

Aurora said word by word in an ice-cold voice as she stood up while picking up her phone from the table because she was already a vice admiral so something like getting access to a civilian's information was nothing for her.

And in his file, it clearly stated that he was 30 so a question naturally arises why did a teenager have to go to war in his place? While he got to sit comfortably in one of his villas.

"Also he wouldn't feel disgusted by the scars someone got by fighting for trash like you"

Aurora added that although she chose to endure the disgust evident in his eyes that he tried to hide when looking at her but didn't manage to escape her eyes, she already said so much so why not add some salt to the wound?

Hearing all this Anfrew couldn't help but curse as tears practically started rolling down his cheeks.

F*ck I'm getting burned because of god Drac again!

So you were alive after all!

Aurora thought after walking out of the coffee shop as she couldn't help but clench her fists in excitement.

...

Karl who after the war got bumped up straight to squadron commander but chose to retire and live the luxurious life courtesy of his father was also busy watching his holographic TV as his new "girlfriend" was busy licking his lollipop.

Only for the movie he was watching to get interrupted by the national news channel.

As soon as Karl saw Dracula the memories that should have been erased but were just too deeply engraved in his subconsciousness so they only got suppressed resurfaced in his mind.

"He's on me! He's on me!"

Karl couldn't help but scream in his fighters group's communication channel as he evaded another burst of laser fire from the briaan fighter that was biting his tail.

"F*ck! F*ck! Mom, Dad! I want to see you one last time!"

Karl couldn't help but cry as he continued to perform high g maneuvers that made him want to vomit his insides on the spot again and again because Einherjar was already a ghost ship that didn't fire back but only took the punishment from Briaan warships.

While his fighter group was all but already eliminated, he and only the other three were left that were currently fighting for their lives.

Only to see black lightning fired from the Briaan flagship tear a cruiser apart whose shields didn't even hold out for a second against it, then he saw dozens of spaceships tear themselves.

Finally, after that, he saw the rest of the spaceships crush themselves into balls one after another until he finally got hit.

These images were simply too shocking to forget.

This was also the reason why the UNOE could salvage the ships for materials and technology unlike the last time because they just got destroyed too fast for the inbuilt self-destruct instructions to activate themselves.

Karl immediately grabbed his phone and dialed the international recruitment line.

"This is Staff Sergeant Drake speaking how can I help you, citizen?"

"I want to go back to the Navy! Reserve first Lieutenant Karl Michel serial number 545246626645"

Karl said without hesitation.

"One moment!"

Staff Sergeant Drake answered as he quickly typed in the serial number.

"Sir according to your file you served onboard Einherjar as a pilot of a fighter and got promoted to squadron commander but left the navy so there are a couple of open positions for fighter squadron commanders in UNOES Wywern, Typhoon, and vigorous they are all Einherjar class battleships in which one would you like to serve?!"

Drake asked respectfully.

"None of those I want back on Einherjar!"

Karl said without hesitation.

"This... I... I will make it work sir! As soon as I have news I'll call you back!"

Drake said after slight hesitation because Einherjar was already fully staffed but it wasn't final so because Karl was a hero of UNOE he will do his best to satisfy his demands after all Karl went to hell and crawled back from it and he was only 17 years old at that time so he deserves his respect no matter what!

"Understood"

Karl said as he hung up the call.

"You can go I'm no longer in the mood!"

Karl said with cold eyes causing his girlfriend to stand up, pack her things and leave.

That god-like power that defies common sense I'll have it no matter what it takes!

Karl thought as the fire of desire started burning in his eyes.
