Lily.

We continued our night normally; I talked with some nobles and created some connections, and Yoki just stared at the young men who tried to make a move on her, and sadly I wasn't able to spot Kubota or Tuto.

Then I went to speak with the red-haired masked girl, who was sitting at a big table with 15 other masked teens.

"Hello, miss," I whispered to her as all of them looked at me warily.

"Almer?" She spoke.

Then all of them got ready to attack me, seeing her nervous face.

"Relax, guys! He is my friend." Said Lily as she stood up while pointing at me.

"Why don't we speak somewhere else?" I suggested as I looked at a guy who was a little bit angry, but nobody noticed it except me.

"Emm..." She said as she looked at a girl that nodded while showing her hand as if she was telling not to surpass 5 minutes.

'What's going on here?" I thought as I felt something was not right here.

"Okay, let's go." She said as she dragged me out.

"What's wrong?" I asked as she made me sit outside of the palace.

"..." She didn't even know what to say as she was just too excited.

"Now, before we start speaking, why don't we remove that little mask of yours," I said as my hand approached her mask.

"NO!" She screamed as she dogged my hand.

"Okay, relax; I won't remove your mask," I sighed while putting my hands in the air in defeat.

"Well, how did your days go?" She asked, averting the subject.

"Pretty good, as you see, I will finally be able to study in your class," I replied while starring at the stars.

"Even my days were good; I learned how to use my unique system, met new people.... and made new friends." She said while looking in the other direction as she found my position was romantic.

"Very good; I always thought that you wouldn't make new friends. I was worried, you know?" I replied while raising my eyebrow at her face when she talked about her 'friends.'

"Did you get a boyfriend?" I asked while grinning.

"What?" She asked, not sure of what she heard.

"I said did you get a boyfriend, as you are too pretty not to have one." I teased.

"No... How about you?" She asked with an expectant face.

"I may or may not," I replied without even flinching as I remembered my experience with the three girls.

"Is that so..." She said she became so nervous.

"So, how are your studies?" I asked her to change our topic as it was so uncomfortable for her.

"Good." She answered with resolution in her eyes.

We chatted for some minutes, then she said.

"Sorry, I must go now. Meet you at class!" She said as she got up.

"Remove your mask," I ordered as I charmed her.

Then I saw a bruised, tired face that seemed not to have slept for days.

"Who did this?" I ordered with an angry face.

"It was my classmates." She replied.

"You may go," I said as I erased her memory of being questioned.

"Those fucking bitches." I murmured as I went back to Kubota's home.

"Hello, Almer-kun." Said Tuto as he blocked my path at the gates.

"What do you want, Tuto," I said as I was not in the mood for any jokes.

"I just want to take you to the principal's office." He replied while smiling.

"This late at night?" I asked.

"Yes," He replied in complete seriousness.

"Okay, where?" I asked.

"Just let me take the lead." He said as he knocked me unconscious.

*Clap* *Clap*

"Huh? Where am I?" I whispered, then I saw all of the 9 'masters' and the principal in front of me.

"So you did it?" Said the bulky man.

"Does that make us all your masters?" Remarked Kubota.

"Hn." They all nodded.

"Ehm, Ehm, so Almer, sadly, I will have to be your master." Said the principal trying to hide his excited face.

"And with that comes a great responsibility!" Then he started talking about morals and stuff.

Millions years later...

"Do you understand?" He said as he took a deep breath from talking too much.

"Yes," I said while yawning.

"And you will need to visit each of us each day. Kubota on Monday, Tuto on Tuesday, Choca the fat man on Wednesday, Uoa the chef on Thursday, Ila the crazy woman on Friday, Bali the lizard samurai, and Reya the woman that constantly chews gum on Saturday, and lastly me and Exo the explosives man on Sunday." He said.

"Do you have any objections?" He added.

"Yes," I replied as I looked at the people in front of me that will teach me from now on.

[They are strong.]

'I know.'

[Like ahead of you by folds.]

'I know.'

"For the place where you should come, Tuto will give you the location, and remember, don't show it to anyone." He warned.

Then I found myself in front of the school's gate again with Tuto next to me.

"Here you go, Almer-kun." He said as he handed me a piece of paper.

"Thanks," I said as I wanted to thank him but was surprised as he disappeared.

'Fucking teleportation.' I thought as I kicked a rock.

Going back home with expectations on finding Kubota, only to be disappointed with another note.

'Almer, I know that you maybe are disappointed in not finding me home, but I just needed time to think about our relationship as I don't want to mess things up. And as an apology for not coming, I will gift you this house, don't worry about contracts and stuff as I already took care of it, I even left my lab so that you can use it.

And please don't think that I left you, as I genuinely love you and have some problems with my family. So I hope you will be patient.'

'That's very weird. I don't think Kubota would back down that much; it must be something else...' I thought.

'I will talk with her on Monday,' I added.

[

Going upstairs, I checked the side quest.

[Side quest: Lily:

Lilys founded (1/1)]

[Rewards: 25k XP]

[Complete] [Please click to receive rewards]

'Very sus,' I thought.

[I swear it does not have any relation with pain.]

"Yea, yea," I said as I accepted my rewards.

[Reached level 20! The first seal is getting removed.]

Then I felt an itching sensation on my back, then my horns appeared, and a lot of deadly aura circled me, then it all had gone berserk as my horns grew a little bit bigger and my aura increased a lot, and I felt as if my back muscles were changing in a fast pace.

I felt so strong that I nearly lost myself in greed for more power.

{Don't you want to revenge your mother?}

{Kill everyone who goes against you?}

{Get your hands on every woman you would like?}

{Conquer the world?}

Something whispered to me many good things, making me only focus on his speech and think that what he said could be guaranteed by him.

{Just hold my hand.}

Then an old torn hand appeared in front of me; brainwashed, I reached for it, but then Nira spoke to me.

'Are you really okay with it?'

'Okay with relying on someone else for your success?'

'Don't you want to make your mother proud by defeating your father using your own power?'

Then I found light in the opposite direction of the hand, with tears in my eyes; I followed until I found my mother smiling at me, picking some flowers. And when I touched her, I fell unconscious.

Somewhere up in the heavens...

'"Supreme god! We found the same energy coming from the earth!" Said an angel.

"Find it, and tell me the results. We must make sure that he won't awaken again," Replied Hura.

'We must kill him!' He thought as he gritted his teeth.

Somewhere unknown...

"We found it, demon god! The ancestor blood holder!" Said a tall man with pointy ears and long teeth.

"Find him and bring him to me!" Replied a long black-haired young man.

'Finally! I will unlock no demon would ever dream of!' He thought.

"And get ready to roam the human's lands; these fuckers had taken it easy these years." He ordered.
