"So Darling What's The Price For A Pint Of Your Blood?"

As Celine glides through the Obsidian Nexus's opulent halls, she carries a tray delicately adorned with two steaming cup of coffee. The aroma fills the air, and she feels a sense of anticipation as she approaches the door to the banquet.

Confidently, Celine knocks on the door and waits for permission to enter. When she hears Jack's warm voice, she pushes the heavy door open and steps inside, offering a polite curtsy.

"Darling," Celine greets him with a gentle smile. "I bring your fresh cup of coffee, just as you requested."

Jack stared at Celine, she was wearing a secretariat suit, the white T-shirt was hardly buttoned showing more than just her cleavage, for some reason he didn't think that's her fault her mature breasts won't let the button hold, the black skirt was too short showing her long thick legs... with her flushed face she looks nothing like a city secretary.

Jack shook his head. " you took this seriously.... Cosplaying"

He let his gaze linger for some time while checking her outfit and that was enough to make Celine smile seductively.

She moves gracefully to the ornately decorated table near the Jack's and places the cup down. The rich aroma lingers, promising a satisfying sip.

"So Darling what's the price for a pint of your blood?" Celine asked.

Jack lifts his gaze while taking a sip from the cup before him, his eyes twinkling with appreciation as he looks at Celine. " Uh.. this taste really good, Celine," he says with genuine gratitude. " Ahem!... a pint of my blood will cost you 500,000 credits".

Jack noticed the slight changes in her face, 500,000 Credits is a lot of money and he is asking that much for a pint of blood, a high class gold digger but that is just the starting price she can reduce the price if she wants to, Jack expected her to freak out maybe ask what he need the money for but the words that came out of her mouth really shocked him.

" Okay.... how much do I have to pay to drink from the source?"

Jack eyebrows twitched,' how can she be so calm? even if she's rich l am obviously trying to rip her off'..how can she still stare at me like that?' well he wanted to change her attitude badly.

" Oh that will be 4,000,000 credits"

" Okay"

" 50,000,000 credits "

" Okay "

Jack wanted to keep increasing the price but his conscience couldn't take it anymore.

" Fine I will take 4,000,000 credits"

Suddenly, Jack's illusion of safety shattered. Celine's figure blurred, then vanished from its previous spot, a mere trick of the eye. In the next heartbeat, a gust of frigid air whipped past Jack, ruffling his jacket and sending a shudder down his spine. Before he could react, Celine materialized in front of him, a predator ready to strike.

Celine's face was now clearly visible, alabaster white beneath the lighting of the room, her features sculpted with an otherworldly beauty that draws his very being to her. Her dark eyes look like an endless well of darkness and her lips drew back to reveal a pair of elongated, red gleaming fangs.

With a smirk, Celine leaned in, her icy fingers tracing a chilling path up Jack's neck. Jack froze, his heart pounding like a drum in his chest, eyes wide with terror as the reality of his impending doom sank in.

Celine noticed the changes in Jack's demeanor and retreated, she won't do something that will offend him or make him avoid her again.

" did I do something wrong? "

" No, you did nothing wrong is just that the last time you bit my neck I lost control and we.... nevermind while you drink of my blood I want you to chain me so that doesn't happen again."

Jack stared at his pale hands he had lost count of how many times Celine had drank of his blood, but the increase in her level was quite impressive, he thought after some time his blood would stop giving her energy but that didn't happen, well it is not that he is jealous.... of course he is jealous any human rank can only kill the same species of dark seal five times and any other kill won't give any points but my blood keeps giving Celine the same amount of energy if I keep feeding her my blood she would become so powerful and attain a level that I may never be able to reach, so Jack decided to stop giving her his blood.

He stared at his account balance, 32,000,000 credits that's more than enough money to finally get his mom a nice place, he even got a new stat, Resistance and after restraining himself and resisting the intense pleasure that flooded his body everytime Celine bit his neck day after day it finally got up to B_level.

The first time he sold his blood to Celine he remembered seeing a memory after she bit his neck, a younger version of him, the scenery was definitely of the old world if he didn't know better he would have marked it as one of Celine's tricks but he knew what he saw, not only did the child talk like him he also acted like he would in that situation... well I could ask Celine I don't need to trade my blood anymore, l could pat her head and have her submit to me or make her my plaything.. Damn it! after I got my resistance up to B_ level all I think about is subjugation and dominion.. 'well that's not a bad thing is it ?'

Jack opened the online server and scrolled for some time before selecting a big castle in Cyerpolle, he scrolled through the updated pictures of the interior and exterior the castle didn't look anything fancy instead it looks like a cheap copy of a castle of the old world and cost 30,500,000 credits but Jack bought it anyway he wanted something big for his mom. when the transaction was completed a portal appeared on the platform and a Certificate of Ownership and co-ordinate number fell on his table.

Jack smiled. he now owns a house, he quickly put the certificate of ownership in his inventory and mail his mom the co-ordinate number, he then sent her 1,500,000 credits, he didn't do that cause he had no use for credits but because he foolishly bought an expensive house far away from New Yukon and his mom would have to use teleport format with the co-ordinate number to get to the house which should cost her a 1,200,000 credit and she would have to wait for her placement sometimes it takes years for people with placement to use the teleport format.

Rich folks would just use a region station format and get to where they want to be in mere minutes were as those who use teleport format can only get teleported to the location with a co-ordinate number.

Jack did figure something out since Celine claims to be a child of a Royale demon maybe she's royalty or something that's why she has all that money so he is not entirely broke as long as he has Celine he has an abundant amount of money..

'That sounded wrong is it the Resistance stat messing with my presumption?'

Jack thoughts was interrupted by the beeping of his academy digital wrist watch. When he looked at it, he could see a voice message that had been left.

"This is General Del. Jack Quiton, you are required to come to my office in the third angel building immediately. I have some important things to discuss with you."

As soon as Jack heard the message he wasn't pleased. General Del, Masters Academy I Second year General and he resides in one of the eight sculpted angel like buildings and a psycho , he sends masters who reported bullying to him to the dungeons in the Null_realm with some biased excuse of improving their strength.... It's just a simple execution... well not all general are bad.

General Fulcan straightforward and don't tolerate desipience and just recently he found out Sasha Grey is also a general well it turns out only B_level rank master knows this and Celine won't keep anything from him.

" What do you want Del Rio Grande." Jack mumbled.

***************************************

1,650 years ago.

A young boy wearing a tightly fitted short doublet with a collar and cuffed sleeves as well as breeches and a circular wide cloak reaching to the knees placed his hands on his chest, his heart pounded in his chest not out of fear but of exhaustion as he strode through the overgrown thickets of the ember Forest, he had been running all day from the gargoyles of the forest. The moon was a full, blood circle, its faint red light barely breaking through the gnarled canopy overhead. The air was thick and mist obstructed most of his vision, but beneath it, a fragrance lurked. A scent he had grown to know all too well, a scent of the otherworld... Inhumans.

He walked up to a whispering pond and stared at his reflection.. seeing a whispering pond would have scared any human but he knew the secret of the ember forest it was just a harmless little pond, the whispering waters of the ember forest were harmless as long as you don't try to decipher the words of the whisper, those who try turn into gargoyles alive during the day but dead at night.

He looked the same but younger, if he was to guess he's as young as a 12 yrs old teenager. He dug his broken sword into the ground and walk towards the tree with the otherworldly fragrance, he wouldn't want to scare the being hiding behind the tree.

The air was heavy with an otherworldly stillness, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves or the distant call of a bird.

As he got closer to the tree, his senses heightened, attuned to every subtle movement and sound. It was then that he caught a glimpse of something out of place—a flicker of movement behind a towering oak tree. Curiosity piqued, he cautiously approached, his footsteps muffled by the carpet of fallen leaves.

Drawing nearer, his eyes widened in astonishment as he beheld a sight that defied explanation. There, crouched behind the tree trunk, was a child unlike any he had ever seen before. The child appeared ethereal, bathed in an otherworldly glow that seemed to emanate from within. Her eyes glowing purple, her delicate features were framed by cascading locks of black hair that shimmered like black gold of Flintha.

The child's eyes were wide with fear and uncertainty, her gaze darting nervously between the man and her surroundings. It was clear that she were scared and seeking refuge from some unseen danger. he recognised the vulnerability etched upon the child's face cause he had felt that way before..... lost and afraid.

Approaching slowly and with gentle reassurance in his voice, he spoke softly to the child, ' Hey are you okay? '. He extended a hand in friendship, hoping to bridge the gap between their worlds. The child hesitated for a moment, her trust wavering like a fragile flame in the wind.

" aren't you afraid of me"

He stared at her for sometime playing every possible scenarios in his head. " are you going to hurt me"

The young girl shook her head. " No"

' Well then I have nothing to be scared of .... what's your name?.. I can tell you lost but you don't have to be scared I know my way around ember forest, I can take you back to the border if that's what you want.

' I don't remember my name '

he placed his hands on his jaw and pretend to think. " Hmm... that's not bad do you remember the first alphabet'

' C.. I think it starts with C '

' What kingdom are you from, Asoura, Nehfgard, Asgard, Flintha or are you from the Central? ... you don't look like a creature of Earth ... are you from the 3rd Dimension?.'

The young lady nodded slightly.

' The 3rd Dimension huh!. Well there are 13 castle, 13 Royale demons as leaders for each castle, 187 princess and 203 prince... I don't really remember much about the princess but Lady Cleopatra is a creationist she could have created something with the energy of the universe and Lady Candice has quite the brain so you are Lady Celine. '

The child's facial expression begins to change from trepidation to Stupefaction. Her eyebrows become more pronounced, forming a V-shape that indicates anger or annoyance. Her eyes narrow slightly, showing determination rather than fear. This change in expression was beyond evident.

' I can't believe a human have such Knowledge.'

' My dad was an Ex Valor of Asoura, he had quite the knowledge.'

He crouches down slowly, maintaining eye contact with her throughout the process. This squatting action not only brings him to her eye level but also his face close to her face.

" If indeed you lost Lady Celine, I can take you back to the border but if that not it you should be aware a warrior nun executed a prince from your dimension his remains still on the elves mountain, if only he stuck to hunting elves.

Celine couldn't help but admire the human, this was a first she had seen a human so different. Humans just like Royale demons are all the same. Royale demons will traverse the multiverse looking for a worthy opposition while humans always sort for a means of escape.. they never confront anything deemed dangerous... Cowardly creatures.. they keep looking for a means to prolong their fragile lives.

She smiled. ' So tell me what's your name lad? '

' Jack the 14th Valor of Asoura '
