Even in her dream she couldn't shake her fear or apprehension of him. If anything, it felt magnified.

"Tell me, demon, did you send that monster to kill William?"

His expression went cold at the mention of the other man's name.

"Who is that?" He smirked.

She knew by his jealous reaction that it was him who sent the Black Knight, and he in fact, knew who William was. The shock of the truth sunk in. She became angry and started slapping the demon and pounding on his muscular unmoving chest.

"How could you! Have you no shame! He could have died!"

"Shame? I am the King of Demons, I have no shame in anything I do or with anyone I do it with."

She shot him a look because of his overtly sexual connotation. She tried to slap him again, but he caught her by her wrist and pulled her her petite frame up against him, then kissed her hard. She was no match for his weapon. She felt her anger at him dissipating as a warm and fuzzy feeling began to wash over her completely. Her lips, ended up kissing him back and she wanted to taste more and more of him.

She didn't know what had gotten into her and chalked it up to her being in a dream. She broke the kiss. His hands gently ran up and down the sides of her body. His hands were exquisite.

"Please, demon. You must stop touching me like this," She said.

"Why? I like touching you."

"Be-because I can't think straight when you do." She confessed.

"You don't have to think when you're with me, I will always take care of you... in and out of bed." His lips kissed her clavicle bone.

"Please..." She pleaded.

His sweet kisses were driving her to sweet agony.

"Forget the Knight, Princess Beatrice and be mine. All mine..."

Aishikawa Keiko is a young rockstar with an attitude problem. A day before she releases her album, she dies. A bargain with a death god gives her a second chance to live the life she thinks she deserves.

This is a story of love that transcends both life and death.

I found myself in a strange situation. Not only was I in an utter loss at what had just happened but I wasn't sure if I had the ability to help my apprentice like I had wanted and promised. The quests this time seemed to be rather strange. The first one had been repeated many times but the second ones reward intrigued him. 
"Sub Mission Upgrade.... Does that mean I can take on extra quests?" I said to myself.
I accepted it without much thought. I mean did it really matter? All the quests make me stronger so why not get some more. I stare at the surrounding as I feel that I myself am getting lost in the strange energy of the rift on the tree. 'Something needs to be done and if it isn't done soon then...'
'I may lose my apprentice!' I said angrily. I was angry at myself. I am a supposedly divine beast but I can't even help my apprentice. What does that make me.... useless? 
{Master, don't say that. You just need to get stronger. That's all!.}
I heard the small voice in my head and realized I just needed to move further. Not for me. But for Maxin. It is my duty as his teacher and friend. 'But where too go?' 
I suppose I have to figure out what my leads currently are. I suppose there are the visions that have been occurring as well as the strange blood relation to the recent ones. Not only that but it also seems that there are a few things that truly seem to stick out. First of all, the man that forced us into the 'pocket dimension' if that was what it was.  The man with the watch that resembled a modern earth invention. 
The W with the spear crossed through it.... what could it mean? I think he might be a clue that could lead me to the answer I am searching for. How to free Maxin from this hellish curse. It seems like he comes after Maxin every night and teleports him to that dimension. But why? 
I suppose I need to settle down and figure out exactly who he is. I think he's in a completely different league compared to me in strength. I mean he forcefully teleported me. So I suppose I should play the waiting game to speak to him...
<One system notification has been sent. Please look at the notification.>
I look at the system interface before seeing a new space below the Quest Tab. It is labeled 'Sub Quests(Non-permanent)'
I quickly click on the tab and find one blinking mission. 
<First Sub Quest! Talk to the Mysterious man>
Sub quest Description: A man who can manipulate a divine tier beast must be strong. Why not give him a little chat. 
Sub Quest Requirements: Talk to the man about Maxins circumstances. 
Sub Quest Rewards: +2 power points and +1 AP

I looked through the simple looking quest design and realized that this quest was much more simple compared to the main quests. It was pretty basic and the rewards where minimal but it seems like these are used to help me on my way. 'It's strange how the system seems to know what i'm thinking. It seems to know so much. It is really unnerving.' 
Alex quickly settled down on slowly stalking Maxin. It wasn't hard. He just wandered around aimlessly without any real goals. It looked like he was lost. Didn't know what he should do. I found him staring wide eyed around him when 10 came. Then I saw it. With my Eyes of the Veil I could see how he got here much better then before. A crack in the energy around a small area was formed as a black shadow slithered out of it. The Crack quickly closed and the shadow became a lean tall pale man. He wore a serious business suit and looked like he was constantly in a rush but never overwhelmed. 

The man slowly looked at his watched and nodded in satisfaction. 5 minutes before ten. Time to spare. The man silently sat in the shadows watching the timid Maxin sit there in terror. It was then that I decided to speak up. "Hello. If you have the time I would like to ask you to answer some questions." I said in a calm and collected voice. 
The man nodded as if he had already predicted my question and continued to stare at Maxin and said "Make it quick. Time is very valuable and I don't have much of it. You only have 4 minutes and 35 seconds remaining. Use it wisely." he said in a calm and composed manner. 
I hurry up and quickly start asking questions. He accepted to answer my questions but only gave me a limited amount of time to ask them. I need to take advantage of it. 
"What is happening to Maxin?" I ask quickly. He replies in the same speed "He is in limbo. As the Bargain holding him to it dictates." he says simply.
"Can I break the bargain?" I ask again with little thought. He looks at me and gives a soft chuckle before saying "Anything is possible little snake. Anything you deem possible and anything impossible. There are multiple ways out of the contract but all of them but one require you yourself to make a bargain with us just as powerful or more than the one offered." 
"And the option that isn't a bargain?" I ask warily, worrying about where this was going. " You could try to make the other owners of the bargain forcefully fail to uphold there part of the bargain. Then we couldn't do anything but force the deal to become closed." he said simply. 
My mind raced as I tried to think about what I needed to do. I needed to get rid of whoever made this evil deal. "May I know the contents of the Bargain?" I ask quickly. 
He looks at me and winks before snapping his fingers. A smooth piece of paper appears between his thumb and index finger. He quickly passes it to me. He then looks at his watch and shrugs before disappearing with Maxin in tow. 
I retrieve the paper quickly using telekinesis. The paper is raised to my face and I quickly read it before realizing what exactly it is. It looked like a contract from earth. Filled with little holes and loop holes. It was signed by one mister Zelus. Apparently a Wretched Sage... A Wretch? There in control of this.I hear a little notification in the back of my mind but disregard it as I focus on the papers contents. 
I look at the contents of the bargain and find out that it seems to be that this mister Zelus has offered over the soul of a certain wretched creature in return for eternal limbo of a human soul. The wretched creature was Zelus himself. Not truly souless but instead set to give his soul to a group known as the 'Order of Bargains'. 
I felt my head burning in pain as I tried to make since of it all. The jargon used was intense and I could barley make since of it. 
'So effectively.... If I kill this mister Zelus then I should be able to get rid of the limbo placed on Maxin.' I thought. 
I then scanned the sheet two more times before noticing that in an incredibly small font on the bottom of the page it read 'This contract is now useless. Please seek for direct cancellation of Bargain'
'Is this why the strange guy from the Order of Bargains gave me the hint? To try and get me to kill Zelus to force the Bargain to be cancelled. This Order seems really strange...' Alex thought while slowly heading off to find double. He had a favor to ask of him. And I had an idea that he would agree.

After his untimely death, the man named Alex finds himself reincarnated as a snake in a different world with a strange system called "The Evolution System"

Alex slowly finds out the mystery of the system from the lowly beginnings as a snake.

A woman wearing an unusual cloak walked inside a bar, her eyes sweeping at all the men around. She was to meet someone, a man named Banye to make a bargain. He's said to be the Prince of Diyu, a demon, the son of Yama. A demon as powerful as the legend described him to be. 

Her eyes rested on the corner, at the darkest pocket in the room. There, sat a man who wore a cloak over his head, but unlike hers, he wore a cloak made of human skin. He sneered at the scent of the demon hive assaulting his nose. 

"I believe you're in need of my services." Said the demon in his deep guttural voice. 

Bravely, Ying Yue stepped closer to join him in his seat. 

A gleam of devilish smile crept up on the stranger's lips, aware of the piece of jewel he's about to possess. "Please, sit down. The drink is on me." 

Ying Yue sat down, her head tilted curious of the demon in front of her. 

"What is it that you're wanting to see." Asked the demon.

"I want to see the face of who I'm bargaining with."

"I'm afraid there's a price to pay for everything and it's a price you might not be able to handle." Said Banye quietly. 

"I'm afraid I must see your face or there won't be a bargain." Insisted Ying Yue.

"So be it." Agreed Banye almost in a lover's purr. 

He pulled the hood back and nothing could have prepared Ying Yue for what she saw. They were no tales of the beast's vanity, only illustrations of his brute and his savage massacres.

A gasp escaped her lips before she can stop herself. The demon was unearthly handsome with eyes and hair darker than the cloudless midnight on a cold evening. The longer she stared, the deeper she got sucked in. His eyes seemed to swirl in slow motion, pulling her in to a spell that is slowly imprisoning.

The demon blinked, breaking her off from his captivity.  

Ying Yue sucked her breath and forced her eyes to close, pulling herself back together. And by the time she opened her eyes, the demon had invited himself closer. His overwhelmingly handsome face up close to her, assaulting her yet again and sending her heartbeats pumping. 

The demon heard every loud beat of it. "Relax," he said. "I won't do anything to make you uncomfortable." He leaned back on his seat, releasing Ying Yue from the weight of his presence. "So, tell me, what can I do for you, miss?"

"I came to make a bargain."

"You know a price of a bargain, don't you...little miss?" He purred. 

"Yes, a soul I no longer needed." She answered. 



He was a demon god with a grudge who fell in love with his enemy's mortal wife.

As soon as the first few words came out of Mira's mouth, Lucius knew what she was about to do. He could feel the determination that was laced with madness in her voice and could tell that she had lost her sense of self. The moment Mira completed her declaration, Lucius could feel the control he had on her weaken.
"AARGH!" Lucius grunted as he recoiled from the backlash.
He had been controlling multiple spell constructs at the same time, which was quite difficult and taxing on his mind. If he had lost control of such a large number normally, it would have been enough to destroy his body. But thankfully, while he was controlling the spell constructs, he wasn't actually supplying them with his own mana.
About 95% of the entire load was on the native runes that were carved in this hall and the ancient spell constructs that were integrated into them. Lucius had merely modified them enough using a few adjunct spell constructs, so that he could turn them into a new functioning spell matrix.
"Dammit! What part went wrong? How can she resist the control?" Lucius questioned in frustration.
Mira had gone silent after her speaking her part, and the power that was filling her had also started dissipating. But it didn't disappear into the air, rather it was starting to condense back into the Amulet of Barrom.
Lucius saw the mana patterns that were appearing and realized that the sacrificial spell that Mira had used was complete. He could only curse his luck that he was in the dark about Mira being pregnant.
'If I knew about this beforehand, I would have been able to figure out a different approach. It was that unborn child which prevented my restraints from working, and now it's that very unborn child that is the fuel for the curse.' Lucius quickly analyzed.
When Lucius had made the restraints, they were only made to handle a single True blood at a time. He not only needed to know their True name but also their mana signature. And because the unborn child was unknown to him, the restraining spell had been unable to exert its full power as it was not restraining one, but two True Bloods.
'Looks like the sacrificial spell took all of her effort to cast…' Lucius thought to himself as the weakness washed over him and he collapsed on his knees.
~woosh~
The Demonic energy started stirring as the Amulet of Barrom drew on more mana. The body of Mira started shriveling at a visible rate as the Amulet drew everything that she had. Finally, the beautiful and graceful Mira faded away into dust, leaving behind a curse as her final words.
~HONG~
A loud noise was heard as the Amulet of Barrom floated up in the air and glowed with a deadly light. Lucius estimated that the amount of demonic energy that it had within it would be enough to rip this world in half if it went berserk.
No artifact in the world was as strong as the Amulet of Barrom currently. Lucius was powerless to stop it and was unable to do anything right now. His magic had already been stripped by the Amulet, as part of the curse.
~Sigh~
"All that effort… all for nothing…" Lucius muttered in an unwilling tone.
Then suddenly he shouted, "NOO! I HAVE FULFILLED MY END OF THE BARGAIN! I DEMAND IT! IN THE HONOR OF BARROM!" 
The spell contracts in the hall started glowing again and the runes flickered, as if uncertain whose orders to follow.
Everything seemed to have frozen in time for a moment before a booming voice was heard.
"A bargain has been fulfilled and a bargain has been paid. A bargain once paid cannot be returned, but another bargain shall be balanced against it." The voice said.
Lucius felt his heart stop as soon as the sound was heard. He could feel the sheer power in it and knew that if it were to command anyone to do something, they would have to do it. It had a power to compel souls, the likes of which he had never seen, but had only read about in ancient tomes.
Lucius reckoned that even the Supreme Pontiff of the Tharian Theocracy may have to obey the will of that voice. 
~HWA~
The next second after the voice disappeared, Lucius felt a strong gust of wind hitting his back. He turned his head with great difficulty and saw something that shocked his very core.
"This… it can't be…" Lucius uttered in disbelief.
The thing in front of him was a portal, but this one was different than the hell portal that he had seen previously. There was only absolute darkness behind that portal and an eerie aura emanating from it. Unlike the hell portal which had a powerful presence, this portal seemed rather weak.
But Lucius knew that it was something that was not only rarer than a hell portal, but also countless times stronger. 
A few years ago, he had come across an ancient ruin that had some fragments of documents in them. They spoke of a place called the Grand Void. It was said that the Grand Void was a realm beyond even the hell dimension and contained everything in this universe and even the things beyond it.
Lucius had not believed it till now and had just thought that whoever wrote those documents mistook an abnormal spatial rift for something like that. But now that he matched the characteristics described in the documents, he couldn't help but feel that it was all true.
~DENG~
~SHATTER~
A loud explosion was heard as the Amulet Of Barrom shattered and a massive wave of energy came out of it. The energy struck Lucius's body, reducing it to atoms in less than a second. Lucius didn't feel anything, yet he could feel that he still existed.
"What… is… this…" Lucius said, but no voice came.
His body was gone, yet he was still there, but with no sight, no vision and no hearing.
"The first bargain is fulfilled, now you shall fulfill the other bargainer's debt." The voice spoke again, this time directly in his mind.

Lucius was a man born to a pair of lowly servants that worked for the Great Demon worshiping Barrom clan. Growing up in the harsh conditions of the Barrom clan where magic and power reigned supreme, he weathered though humiliation and schemes. Knowing that he wanted to be the oppressor than the oppressed, he began his conquest. Not averse to betraying or scheming, Lucius made use of his allies as mere pawns to be sacrificed.

Learning that a powerful artifact lost eons ago was hidden in an ancient ruin, Lucius betrayed and sacrificed one of his closest people, his lover without hesitation.

But he didn’t know that fate had a different plan for him and the artifact he had yearned for would send his soul hurtling across the cosmos, forcing it into the broken body of a young man called Asher Inanis. Coming to his senses he finds the world to be completely different where the magic of his previous world did not exist, but what did was ‘Gifts’.

Witness how he learns about the world, gains power and reigns supreme against all odds becoming the Demonic Sage.


P.S. This is a slow paced novel and has a lot of world development at start. If this is not to your taste, you may not like it.

She was lucky. This time the boss could speak Mandarin. He smiled as he replied to her, "Miss, you have good judgment. I like the stud earrings as well. I actually intended to keep them for myself, but since you like them, I'll sell the pair to you. A pair of stud earrings costs 80 yuan."
80 yuan! Chi Enen bit her lip. It was about the same price as what she had expected. But she put down the stud earrings and bargained with the boss. "Boss, 80 yuan is too expensive, can it be cheaper? If it is cheaper, I'll buy it."
Li Beijue frowned, he was about to pay for her automatically. Chi Enen knew that he would spoil her plans. She quietly reached out her hands to grab hold of him, shaking her head at him quietly. 
What was the woman doing?
Chi Enen stopped him and made use of the opportunity to bargain with the boss. "Boss, give me a lower price. I didn't bring much money on my first trip abroad. I also want to buy some other things. If you sell it at 80 yuan, I won't be able to buy anything else."
The boss seemed to be in a difficult position. "But Miss, I have given you a very low price."
"If that's the case then never mind." Chi Enen pulled Li Beijue to walk away, a reluctant look on her face.
She had just taken a few steps when she felt that she was being held back.
She froze and looked up. The man with the cold expression tugged at her hands. He seemed to want to go back to the stall.
"Li Beijue, what are you doing?"
"Don't you like those stud earrings? Why do you walk away? I'll buy them for you." She was his woman. He would not allow her to give up a pair of 80 yuan stud earrings that she liked. 
Chi Enen stopped him, looking exasperated. "I am not leaving. I am just…"
"What?" Li Beijue had a stiff expression on his face, directing his aristocratic phoenix eyes on her. 
Chi Enen had no idea how she should explain the art of bargaining to him. 
Fortunately, at this time, the boss stopped them.
"Miss, wait. I'll give it to you at 60 yuan! 60 yuan is the lowest. If you like them, you can have them. If you still feel that it's expensive, then forget it."
Chi Enen was relieved. She pulled Li Beijue back to the booth, a smile on her face as she explained to him on the way back. "You don't understand. One can usually bargain at this kind of roadside stalls. The boss knows about this as well, therefore they quote a higher price. If they run into people who do not know how to bargain and pay according to the price that the boss quotes, they will earn more. If they run into people who know how to bargain, they have a range where they can cut the price. Therefore, when one shops at places like this, never pay according to the price that the seller first quotes you. One must bargain with them. If they refuse to give in, pretend to walk away. The boss will usually reduce the price in order to sell their goods."
Li Beijue's heart ached as he listened to her while she shared her bargaining techniques.
What kind of life had she lived in the past few years and why did she know so much? He preferred her to know nothing than to know everything.
Chi Enen did not know what was on his mind. She paid 60 yuan to the boss, feeling satisfied with the stud earrings that she just bought.
Anxin loved simple accessories. This pair of pearl stud earrings was just nice. She would definitely love it.
After completing her biggest task today, Chi Enen felt much more relaxed. She pulled the man next to her to continue with her shopping, feeling more at ease.
There was something very good about the night market and there was everything that one needed. 
There was food, drinks and fun. As long as one could think of it, there was nothing that the night market did not have.
Chi Enen had lots of fun shopping, eating and drinking. She also bought a lot of interesting stuff.
"What is that?"
Just when she was about to call it a day, she saw a group of people who were gathered in front of her. They seemed as if they were snatching up something good. Her eyes lit up, as she pulled Li Beijue to run toward that direction. "Li Beijue, let's go and take a look." 


In front of others, he is a cold and callous President of an empire. Young, wealthy and handsome, he is also the Prince Charming in every woman’s heart.
Only Chi Enen knows how temperamental, domineering and possessive he is!
Five years ago, Chi Enen left him and disappeared without a trace. Now, she bumped into him coincidentally and he refuses to let her go.
After their reencounter, he bounds Chi Enen mercilessly to his side. If she is out of his sight for a moment, his paranoia will be triggered…
“I gave in to you in the past because I can't bear not to. Now, I have already decided to do it my way. I don't need your agreement."
“Li Beijue, what do you want from me?”
“I just want you to fall in love with me!”
Chi Enen struggles to get out of his clutches and at the same time, fighting desperately to resist his charm. 
Will he discover the truth of what happened five years ago?
