Heading towards a Trove

I stared at my status with my eyes blank, fire slowly lit up inside my pupils making it burn a brighter pink color.

A delicious shiver ran down my spine, like a bolt of electricity. Thin lips curved into a sly smirk and equally thin eyes crinkled at the edges.

My pupils constricted and widened to the extent that black sclerae surrounded the violet irises.

I breathed in the air before lying on the bed with a huge jump. It was then that I started to cackle with laughter, a laughter of a madman.

"Higigiggigigigigigihihihhihihhihhiijaahahahaha!!!"

Though the energy was faint, I could sense it, the slight second that I opened and closed my third eye.

The energy was too evil to call it divine and too tranquil to call it chaotic. It was a perfect balance or maybe it didn't have any balance, it had a touch of emptiness.

The energy was abysmal, an energy one would get lost in if used. A depth of nothingness, even a little bit of it was a great void.

Endless, Infinite, energy that even Gods can't control and can only borrow.

"Nihility."

I muttered under my breath.

The energy of the end of space-time.

The energy used to create universes or destroy them.

Nihility, is energy or maybe it is not, nobody can comprehend it. It is everywhere, everyone is made up of nihility, after death one simply becomes nihility.

Everything traces back to Nihility since it is empty, even the origin traces back to nihility.

I didn't expect myself to become so overpowered, with the help of nihility, even the strongest existences will be at my arms end.

Although I have a feeling that there will be repercussions of using the power.

Nothing is free in the world, especially power.

However I can worry about that later, now it is time to go and eat ham.... I mean chicken.

I glanced at the campfire lit across my tent through the gaps of the curtains but as soon as I took a step ahead in the direction, I heard someone call out to me.

"Master."

I tilted my head to look in the direction of the voice and was genuinely surprised. Puck was kneeling in front of me, in his adult form rather than his shota form.

"Hm...Puck what brings you here."

He turned up his head to look at me and almost fell back due to the sheer shock he got from looking at my new form.

"M-master i-is that y-you??!"

I acted as if I was offended, "Of course it's me! Don't tell me that you got blinded by my handsome face."

His face contorted into a deadpan expression however he was still very much in shock.

"Master your looks have changed a lot, I was simply surprised for a second."

I nodded and smiled amicably, his face then darkened and turned grim.

"Master, you remember our previous matter don't you?"

Hm. Previous matter? All I remember is having a good time with my girls and an awakening, also a little bit of face slaps.

Puck stared at me with a death glare, I couldn't help but avert my eyes, he was still my adopted child, maybe one of the only ones whose life still valued greatly to me.

"I remember, it's about your cultivation right?"

Puck then smiled with relief, "I almost thought for a second that you didn't remember, it seems master is still competent as ever.

Of course, I am, my dao of guesses is also refined to the peak.

"Then I need master to protect me while I attempt to breakthrough into Stage 13."

The slit in my eyes opened up wide, I remembered now. The main point of this trio for me was to see through the successful breakthrough of Puck and collect all the demonic cores of the beasts to use them all for my own gain.

"Yes."

I spoke with the same seriousness, stage 13 was important, even a slight distraction could result in Spiritual Deviation which can lead to the destruction of the foundation or even to the point of the entire cultivation dropping and the person becoming in name becoming a cripple.

The last thing I would want to see was Puck's cultivation coming down like a broken dam. There would be lightning tribulations along with the huge amount of concentration he would need, definitely not easy to break through in a major stage.

Most people would decide to not break through because it wouldn't be worth risking their life even I agree with them.

Cultivation was never a priority to our fairy race since fairies as a race were immortal, the only reason we would cultivate was because of the greed that many hideous and other races held towards us which made us make cultivation mandatory for every fairy.

"Do you have a location in mind? Weren't you out there in the morning and afternoon to look for a favorable place?"

Puck nodded, "Yes. I have a good place in mind, the area is overflowing with energy. He added the last bit with a frown.

I didn't mind that, it should be normal right... right?

Of course, it would be normal, there wouldn't be any immortal treasure or divine artifact in the place along with powerful beings pursuing it.

"Alright then let's head over there," I spoke and Puck nodded before we walked out of the tent.

I could hear some gasps as I walked towards the grill to take a barbeque stick. Handing one over to Puck who looked at me with a deadpan expression that I ignored, I stuffed three of them in my mouth gracefully eating it with three more in each hand.

"Where are you going?" Sona walked over to where I was standing, the other students also rushed to see the drama.

Most probably they came to see my face and body since it had changed tremendously.

I raised an eyebrow, at the rudeness of Sona. Looks like she has forgotten the lesson I taught her in the afternoon, she needs to be re-educated.

I gallantly trudged towards her due to my long height, being the longest in my group mostly because of my recent breakthrough, my shadow enshrouded everyone, making them feel fear.

My body touched Sona's, I could feel her naked even though she was wearing clothes. My breath brushed over her ears making her feel tingly while I touched her lips with my finger before going for a forceful kiss.

"Mmmmh~!" She whimpered, I let go of her and whispered to Sona who was holding her neck and huffing hard.

"You do remember your place don't you?"

She bowed 90° and barked obediently like a dog.

"Yes, master!!"

I smirked at her, "Indeed, although I admire your intentions of keeping it a secret to not let anyone suspect my prowess, don't talk so brazenly towards me. Know your place."

I touched her forehead slightly before leaving with Puck leaving all the male classmates astonished and the female classmates blushing.

All the females had seen the sex scene even with eyes closed because of their demon senses and remembered Sona calling him Master.

Now that I looked even more handsome than before, I was irresistible along with my bad-boy personality that women very much liked.

Although they would show outside that they like sweet, kind, caring guys, they all knew on the inside that they wanted a man-whore bad boy.

At least the majority, some actually follow their beliefs.

I successfully marked Sona with my 'Pleasure Bond' skill, as a little punishment, I marked the crest on her bare forehead, for everyone to see and know who she belonged to.

Although she was the head of slaves, she was still a slave, a slave belonging to only me.

I had already decided the ranks in my harem very well.

-Wife.

-Concubine.

-Maid.

-Servant.

-Slave.

My wives would be at the top of the harem chain with concubine as second and then maids. Servants would only be for working, however, they would also belong to me.

Slaves would be the dead last of the harem chain and would be treated the way slaves are with the exception of insults and torture unless they don't yield.

My skill 'Pleasure Bond' makes it so that, no one in the harem treats anyone badly and treats everyone with respect despite the status.

The other thing is that none of them can scheme against each other nor can they hate each other, only sisterly love towards one another.

I took a quick glance at Puck who was a bit baffled with what I did earlier, I sighed and looked ahead with a straight face.

"Do you have anything to say to me?"

Puck looked towards me with a wry smile and shook his head to refute and then looked at me warmly.

"I am happy that you are no longer restraining yourself and are not hiding behind your wall of lies. If you had restricted yourself even in this life then there would be no difference compared to before."

A wry smile formed on my face, "Do you think I am a monster?"

He looked a bit enraged and hit me on my head lightly.

"When we first met you were the one who said that monsters don't exist."

I was taken aback a bit, as a pang of nostalgia hit me. The child from back then had grown quite a lot.

He rushed in front of me, taking lead. I looked at his back as he spoke in a hushed voice that I could only hear due to my super senses.

"I accept you, just like how you accepted me back then. Even if you are the vilest scum, I still accept you."

My heart trembled a bit, Puck most probably didn't know that I heard it. He is a true friend.

I chuckled bitterly as I walked past him and looked back at him while speaking haughtily.

The heavenly moonlight fell upon my body with grace as the wind gently passed around me.

"How can I be a monster? Have you seen my face?"

Was it cringe?
