âLetâs start from the beginning⊠When we first met, you tried to kill me, then made that mistake and became my slave. I didnât kill you, nor did I take revenge. On the contrary, I gave you my own clothes, then let you share my sleeping bag!â Victor, who stood opposite Alpha in the endless darkness, stated, making an ethereal thread reach from him to her.
âThisâŠ. You always had this power?â Alpha asked as she tried hard to move, but failed; her skills failed to activate. âWait⊠YOU USED ME AS A HUG DOLL! Thatâs why you let me sleep in your sleeping bag!â she responded as she instinctively understood what this place was.
âThere were a lot of spiders outside, would you have wanted to do it on the caveâs ground?â
â... SHITâŠâ she cursed as the thread materialized around her.
âAfter that, I saved your fate to become Sebastianâs lover!â he said, making another thread appear.
âWHO SAID I HAD THAT FATE?â she flared.
âI do⊠You were meant to be affected by his Scion aura and fall into his grasp⊠I saved you!â
âYOU? SAVED ME? You used me to your advantage, taking a great opportunity from me!â she quickly said.
âSo⊠If you know what you do now, do you still want to be Sebastianâs lover?â
â.... I could have decided that on my ownâŠâ
âBut you would have lost the Spark to himâŠâ
â...â
Another thread materialized.
âAfter that, I gave you a home and a job, not telling my family or the playerâs council about your origin!â he said, forming a new thread.
âThis was to your advantage⊠You wanted to use me⊠You wanted to use my sisters!â
âNot really⊠You were totally useless at that point, and selling you to the council would have been more beneficial to me in the short term⊠I might have gotten a lot of things!â
âBut not on the long oneâŠâ
âThatâs not certain. I would have had to work a bit harder!â he said. âAnd I never treated you like a slave, more like a comrade, giving you many rights that you wouldnât even dream of encountering otherwise!"
â...â She bit her lip as the thread materialized; she knew that she was losing this, but she couldnât think of anything.
Another Thread materialized.
âI even told you my secret of being from another timeline⊠This is big, you know!â
âThatâs a lieâŠâ
âNope, it is the truthâŠâ
Another thread materialized, making her gasp in shock. So, it was true!
âAfter that, when you were on the verge of death, I secured that sparkâs activation method from Sebastian and gave it to youâŠ. I am the reason you became a lord!â
âYou simply couldnât use it on yourself!â
âHow do you know thatâŠâ
â...â
âWell, even so, I could have tried it on other people, but knowing that you are about to die, I chose to give it to you to heal!â
â...â
âFor the second time, you owe me your life!â
â...â
Another thread materialized.
âAfter that, I saved your cousin Hana and gave her a homeâŠâ
âYou scammed her and made her your slave!â
â...â
The thread failed to materialize, but it didnât matter.
âYou gave the Spark that should have been kept with you to the system to gain immense powerâŠâ he was speculating on this.
â.... You never specified how I should use it⊠And you gave it to me!â
ââŠ.â
No threads materialized, but her statement confirmed Victorâs guess.
â...â
âAfter all that, not only did you try to take over my power, you even dared to injure my pregnant wife!â he continued, after thinking about some random things.
âI was only scaring her to submit to me! I never intended to hurt anyoneâŠâ she said, pouting a bit. âThat slut would never submit easily!â
Again, no threads materialized; she was telling the truth.
âThis should be enough, I guess⊠âhe sighed. âLetâs get to the demands! For all of that, firstly, I demand that I have the spark back!â
ERRORâŠ
OBJECT NOT FOUND
{ETERERNAL} SPARK IS ALREADY INTERGRATED IN {ORIGIN}âŠ
âOoopseâŠâ Alpha smirked, feeling somewhat triumphant over him, despite it being momentarily.
â...â He squinted his eyes. He guessed as much, but he was not pleased. âI demand that you become my absolute slave for eternity! Without the power to disobey or to withhold information or try to harm me or my interests. You canât even die without my permission! If I tell you to act like a dog, you will start barking!"
âWHAT! I would never submit!â she hissed with desperation in her eyes. She knew what this meant!
âYou donât have that luxury!â he spat as the threads turned golden and began to wrap against her.
She tried to struggle using all of her power, but it was to no avail. Perhaps if her power didnât come from the system, she would have a chance, but since she had already given up her spark, she was powerless, engulfed like a cocoon.
ARBITRATION ENDED
The darkness immediately receded as Alpha fell to her knees with a red symbol appearing on her forehead. Her eyes were in shock and desperation, not knowing what to think.
âYou⊠AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHâŠ.â
The moment she thought of using her power to struggle against him, she felt as if her body repelled against her, and the pain was so great that she collapsed to the ground with her hand around her head.
âYou are really a masochist⊠Donât worry, I will take my time to educate you well this time!â Victor said as he used a dagger to prick his finger and then knelt beside her and pushed it directly into her mouth. âDonât bite⊠Suck it all!â he said. âBecome my blood slave!â he demanded.
She couldnât resist as her mouth sucked on its own like it was made to do this!
BLOOD SLAVE RITUAL DETECTED
ERROR⊠BLOODSLAVES LIMIT REACHEDâŠ
DO YOU WANT TO CLEAR A SLOT TO ACCEPT A NEW BLOOD SLAVE?
<YES> <NO>
Victor paused there⊠Right, he didnât level up after filling that last slot with Nyanra. Thinking for a moment, he quickly connected to Danial, after giving him the scare of his life, he selected his name and pressed <Yes>. Now that he knew who the future Young Light Lord was, he no longer needed this guy!
âKYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ.â Alpha screamed all of a sudden, startling him as he stepped back and watched as she held her head hard.

Victor opened his eyes wide as he watched Alpha roll on the ground and scream in pain. In his status window, repeated messages began to roll. His Authority bug was creating all kinds of problems for the system.
He was totally taken aback, but before he could think of anything, Alpha began to bleed all over as her skin began to disintegrate. Still, in mere moments, she began to heal again.
Her screams grew louder and louder as it was clear how painful it was!

It was as if the system was stuck in an endless loop.
âJUST KILL ME!â Alpha screamed as tears of blood filled her face.
â...â Victor frowned; he really didnât expect this to happen. Still, in a split second, he thought of a few possible solutions. Not wanting to go to the ones that might cause Aloha to die, he took out a huge pillar from his storage space and hit her with it.
NAM!
â.... AH!â
Everything stopped at once.
BLOOD SLAVE SUCCESSFULLY REGISTERED.
As he guessed, the pillar's effect stopped not only Alphaâs use of the system skill, but also the passive effects of her lord status!
Alpha who was drenched in her blood, laid on the ground gasping for air.
Victor quickly took a healing pill and put it in her mouth before grabbing her and disappearing.
Some people might have noticed that something wrong was happening here, and he didnât want to risk it.
He just left a storage ring on the ground just in case.
***
âThat was closeâŠâ Victor said as he appeared in the mansion again. As he left, he felt a few auras of people rushing into the mountain. He was not sure who those people were, but his instinct was telling him that he better not face them.
âHusband!â Margret, who was waiting for him in the mansionâs study, stood up immediately, eyeing Alpha, who was being held like a bag under his arm. She closed her eyes, playing dead, with her face pale white. She was still in shock after her instant defeat, and had no idea how to react. âIs she alive?â
âYeah, something happened, but she should be fine in a while⊠I will give her to you after I finish with her!â he said as he threw Alpha to the ground. âShe only wanted to scare you, so you donât need to use that against her! Just the normal kinky stuff would do!â he said, noticing the âBrotherâ she leaned on like it was some cane.
â... So now you are on her side?â Margret asked, squinting her eyes.
âShe lost her power; she would never survive it!â he smirked.
âWhat?â Margret opened her eyes wide looking at Alpha. âPermanently or Temporarily?"
âIt will be my call!â he said, making Alpha, who was still playing dead, shiver a little.
âThen all I have to do is waitâŠâ she said as she threw herself at him, hugging him hard and pressing her face against his chest. âI missed youâŠâ she said.
âI missed you too!â he said brushing her hair with his hand as he hugged her and kissed her lips.
The kiss for five entire minutes with Margaretâs hand began to move around his body, trying to undress him. Sadly, for her, she couldnât even begin to understand how his otherworldly armor was put together!
âWe will do it laterâŠâ he whispered.
âNo. I want it now!â she demanded. Pressing herself against him in a very lewd way, as her dress let itself fall onto the ground on its own.
âYou are pregnantâŠâ
âAnd? I am sure you will be careful!â
âI have many things to do⊠âhe said, telling the truth, he needed to find a place to release Rosette and her group.
âSome delay would not hurt!â
âI need to question her about a few things first!â he said, glancing at Alpha.
âYou can do that after we finish!â
âYou girls are really Sex crazy!â he sighed as he was powerlessly thrown onto the couch. He didnât dare to resist, lest he hurt Margret and the baby, as he was not yet fully in control of his power.
âYeah⊠And whose fault was it, making us this way?â she said, smirking toward Alpha. âNow, are you going to undress?â
â...â
Margret pulled a little at his shirt, but still, she couldnât take it off by herself. Who made this thing like that?
The answer would be two elf girls who didn't want anyone else to enjoy their master that easily! But he was not going to tell her that!
âAlpha⊠Stop playing dead and come help!â Margret turned to Alpha, who didnât want to believe that Margret was going to do it in front of her just like that.
âWhatâŠâ
âYou heard me! Itâs time for you to learn to serve a man!â
â...â Victor sighed, looking at Margret. âReally?â
âYou are the one who wants me to go easy on her!â Margret shrugged. âAnd I canât take you all on my ownâŠâ
âGood point!... Alpha⊠Obey her!â Victor commanded.
âI⊠NoâŠ. AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaâŠâ Alpha sat up as a pain ran through her, looking aggrieved at Victor, then at Margret.
âCome help me undress him⊠I think it is about time you experience a real man! âShe spat, knowing well that she wouldnât be able to take Victor on, and watching Alpha love herself comply would be a good first course of revenge.
â.... IâŠ. I want to say something first!â Alpha said as she bit her lip in desperation.
Margret squinted her eyes. âWe can do that later?â she asked as Victor turned to face Alpha.
âNo, this is important⊠Very important⊠It might change everything⊠Please let me say it!â Alpha pleaded.
âAh⊠Ok⊠What?â Victor frowned.
âThis world⊠Has a big secretâŠ.â Alpha said. âThe old tales of how the old invasion ended are all a lie⊠It is not that the world became conscious and set the rules⊠It was the Spirit Empress who took control of the World Node and locked down this world in order to slow the System infiltration, banishing all the other lords and making people forget what happened⊠The minute 10% of the world becomes players, the reckoning will happen!â
âWhy are you talking about bunnies? Do you want to play crazy now? Believe me, this would neverâŠâ Margret paused as she noticed something unnatural. Victor seemed to have lost focus for a second before focusing again. His eyes were ice cold for a second, but that quickly dissipated.
WARNING: SYSTEM SCALE EFFECT
FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE REBOUND CURSE ACTIVATED
WARNINGâŠ
NOT ENOUGH AUTHORITY
CURSE FAILED
âAn interesting curseâŠâ he said, looking at the notification, making Alpha, who turned paler than pale, gasp and begin to shiver. âYou even used a loophole in my commands to let it happen⊠Really smart haâŠ.â
âIâŠâ
âThankfully, though the Slave link, I felt your malicious intent and shielded Margret from it!â he said. âWho would have thought that mere information could cause the system to apply such a crazy curseâŠ. From now on, I forbid you from speaking about this without my permission!â
â...â She bit her lip, her eyes wandering around for some way to escape despite knowing that she had no way out.
âMargret⊠Use your brother!â
âAh...â Margret seemed to have realized something and turned to look at Alpha, who in turn was looking at Victor in shock. âCOURTING DEATH...â
âNo⊠no⊠IâŠâ Alpha bit her lip. She couldnât believe her last attempt failed just like that!
âYou are a bad girl!â Margret said coldly as she picked her âbrotherâ for the couch. Its metallic luster reflects light onto Alohaâs eyes. She was not sure what Alpha just did, but from Victorâs reaction, she knew this would have been really bad!
âShe was just desperate,â Victor sighed again. âAt least oil it a bitâŠâ he added for some strange reason, looking at the ominous thing.
âDefending her again?â Margret asked with a frown.
âCanât blame the sick⊠She seemed to have some kind of a phobiaâŠâ Victor sighed. A part of him really wanted to punish Alpha hard, yet another part knew well what she went through, and now that she was humiliated to the extreme, he felt a little sorry for her.
âOh⊠Itâs called ErotophobiaâŠâ Margret corrected him. âBut itâs not an excuse, and regardless⊠This might cure herâŠâ she said, slamming her brother into the ground, then dragging it behind her as she stepped toward Alpha. âIt might also ruin her for good⊠Do you mind?â She turned to Victor.
He was no longer thereâŠ
âWell⊠I guess I got my answer!â
âNooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooâŠâŠâŠ.â
***
Watching the girls âplay' through the Slave link, Victor stood on the mansionâs roof with a frown.
Just now, he felt very angry, and was about to really kill Alpha, but a part of him stopped at the last moment, it was as if his emotions switched gears and pressed the brakes right there!
What was that feelingâŠ
He didnât like the change of emotions one bit! It felt like he had no control over it. Thinking about it, he always felt strange for Alpha as if he never really got angry with her, no matter how much she acted like a bitch. And whenever he planned to punish her big, it always ended up with a spanking or something sexual!
Sure, her looks when she activated her bloodline really suited his taste, but that was not that sexually depraved!
âAkashic Record, ActivateâŠ. Why did I change my mind about hurting Alpha?â He could only use his skill.

EFFECT IS APPLIED ON THREADS WEAVED ONTO THE WORLD FATE
Victor was taken aback, activating his Destiny eyes to take a look.
There, when he looked at Alpha, from the hundreds of threads forming the link between them, he could finally see it as if only knowing about it was all that was required.
A strange golden line that connected them andâŠ
He gasped, from his body, from the myriad fate threads, 22 similar golden threads spread in all directions. Most were very thin, but 4 of them were thick like Alphaâs. Two where even thicker, indicating that he knew those guys.
And on top of that he couldn't help but notice that three of those threads were in the same direction!
What the hell was going on?
