Episode 52: Marriage Talk and Fight (1)

 

 

"Your highness, His Majesty the King summoned you."

 

Isaac came to relay this message.

 

"Why? Do have any idea about the topic?"

 

Arc asked him.

 

"I am sure, it's about your marriage. Because it seems Grand Duke Domingo is also present there."

 

Isaac said.

 

"I see. Ok, let's go. Miranda please."

 

When he said that, Miranda drag his wheelchair as always.

 

"Looks like this time he came for a final talk. Does Queen knows that?"

 

Arc asked Isaac.

 

"Yes, she was there, when His Majesty asked me to call you, she left immediately."

 

Isaac replied him.

 

"Strange. Why did she do that? Will she attack me now?"

 

Arc thought. However, his passive skill IQ denies the fact, because it will too foolish to do that.

 

'So, why did she leave?'

 

He couldn't find any possible answer, maybe she won't want to hang around him much longer.

 

"Well, she won't dare to do that, at least not now."

 

Isaac replied him.

 

"I see. You are right."

 

Arc didn't ask anything after that and silently went inside the Dining room. He saw King and Doming sitting at a table.

 

This is the first time he saw King sitting in another place than a throne or a high place.

 

"You called me, Father."

 

Because they were in an informal place Arc didn't call him Royal Father.

 

"Yes, it's about your marriage."

 

Austin William the King said.

 

"Yes, please say."

 

Arc nodded.

 

"Your uncle or should I say, your future father-in-law came here to have a final talk with you."

 

Austin the king said.

 

"Okay."

 

Arc looked at Domingo with a smile.

 

"It has been a while uncle."

 

Arc told him.

 

"Don't call me uncle anymore, call me father, or at least father-in-law."

 

Domingo William told him, who is the brother of his biological mother. By the way, for the reminder, Austin William was his mother's cousin from the branch family.

 

Most of the Williams marry their clansman to maintain their blood pure. Because they want only William to inherit the throne.

 

So, Arc was marrying for a similar reason.

 

"Before starting my main words with you, please let me apologize because your fiancee couldn't come here because she is busy with her academic work."

 

Domingo told him with apologies for his face. However, Arc's passive skill IQ screaming that, she decided not to see him. Or she thought it was worthless to waste time on him.

 

Arc sighed but didn't voice it instead he said,

 

"Don't worry uncle, I mean father-in-law, you can rest assured that I didn't mind about that."

 

Arc replied.

 

"Good, thank you. We wanted to arrange your marriage this week, however, it seems she has some work in her Academy, so we decided that it would be on next week."

 

Domingo told him.

 

Arc then remembers that his father told him that his marriage will be next month's first week. Two days left for that, he guessed that it will be around 7 days later.

 

"Is it too early for you, son?"

 

Domingo asked him.

 

"No, not at all. It's fine for me."

 

Arc smiled.

 

'It's not like I am not ready, instead, it's your daughter who does not want to marry, well, she even thought that her academic work was more important than her fiancee, so I guess more or less my standing on her mind. Well, I do not mind though, more lose the tie is greater for me to achieve my strength without anyone noticing.'

 

Arc thought inwardly.

 

"Well, that's good then. Good boy."

 

Domingo said. Then he remembered something,

 

"I want to test your current strength. I heard that you can use magnificent magic. I am really curious about it."

 

Domingo said with a smile.

 

"Now then you mentioned it, I also wanted to see how much you have grown. if it really matches the report they are giving me."

 

King also said.

 

"But you know father, I am not..."

 

Arc was about to tell his limitations, however, his father told him,

 

"Do not worry, everything will remain hidden. As no one is here except us who knows about your strength."

 

King told him.

 

"Okay, that's fine then, where will we fight?"

 

Arc asked.

 

"In the basement. Our training ground. Do not worry, I always heavily guard it every day, even if your stepmother doesn't have permission to enter it."

 

King told him.

 

"Okay, let's go then."

 

Arc told them.

 

Then all of them went to the basement.

 

"Why are you sitting here too? Stand up, son. I am one of the people who know about your full recovery."

 

Domingo told him.

 

Arc then smile but didn't spell a word. Then he took out his beautiful Zanpakto.

 

"Oh, you use that sword. I heard that this sword has an interesting ability. I hope you can properly demonstrate this against me."

 

Arc told him. He still didn't spell a word however said,

 

"Scatter."

 

 

Episode-53: Marriage Talk and Fight (2)

 

 

Upon seeing the sakura color countless Domingo summon an iron shield in front of him. However, he saw it changed its trajectory, he then creates a magic barrier behind his neck which prevented the upcoming attack on him.

 

"Hmm... Not bad. What kind of power is it?"]

 

Domingo asked him.

 

"This is Sakura Patel. It's thousands of miniature blades."

 

Arc replied to him shortly.

 

"I see that's good power you have."

 

Domingo then uses his fist on the ground. A sound vibration creates a crater on the surface. It was coming toward Arc at high speed.

 

Arc used his telekinesis to fly. However, the most surprising fact for him is that the hole that was made in the ground was sucking him in.

 

"It's powerful."

 

Arc telekinesis couldn't handle the powerful suction. Arc instantly used one hand to stretch another one, he used gomu gomu no mi, when he lets go of his hand, it got longer, and his hand caught a pillar near him, which allowed him to get away from the attractions field.

 

"What kind of power is it?"

 

Arc asked.

 

"What you don't know? It's the very power of Williams's bloodline, White Moon."

 

William told him.

 

"I see, I forgot about the power of Williams because I was inactive for a long time. Most of my memory is fuzzy, to be honest."

 

Arc told him.

 

"I see. Then let me remind you."

 

Arc suddenly got sucked in front of Domingo, then Domingo deliver a hard punch on his stomach which made his blood out from his mouth, and it made him fly into a distant world.

 

Arc coughed several times. Domingo noticed that nothing happened to him, so he instantly got in front of him and tried to kick him. However, this time Arc was ready and used iron sand in front of him. His magnet style leveled up severalfold, it was harder than before, so Domingo could barely make a crack on that iron shield.

 

Arc then crawls out from there. Well, he doesn't feel any pain, however, he doesn't feel too well, because the last attack almost killed him, so he was weak somehow now. Arc's passive skill twilight heal activated to heal him. However, Arc didn't rely on that and used three 20% hp potions and two 20% stamina potions. Which made him recover.

 

It was less than 2 seconds that happened. He then uses cero on him. Seeing the beam in his hand Domingo tried to comfort him with his hand. However, the result wasn't that good because the sleeve of his shirt got torn apart and the smoke is coming out from his hand.

 

Arc used sand to catch him. However, Domingo is back at a long distance already.

 

"What kind of power it was? It didn't this made of magic but something else. White Moon ability allows the user to break magic with hand clutch but I couldn't do that, and how did you stretch your hand like rubber that time?"

 

Domingo asked him.

 

"This is my unique power. I can turn my body part like a rubber. As for the beam, it's a spiritual power, not magic. Now it's your turn to explain what is this white moon power."

 

Arc asked him.

 

"White Moon holds several unique functions, one is it can attract anyone in front of the user, it can also repeal the user, also it got so much physical power that a strong top-level user can make a pond just by a punch using repeal power. The last function is I just told you, it also can break any long-range pure magic, so it useless to use magic against a strong William. Remember, William could rule this country just by having this power, so, you must master it as a William one day. Or you will be laughed at by others that, the future King cannot use the unique power of William."

 

Domingo told him.

 

"I see. That's a great power that we, William has. However..."

 

When Arc said that, he use Eraserhead on him which allowed him to disable all of the power of Domingo, Arc then downed Senbonzakura's hilt on him. The sakura petals instantly attacked him, which ripped his body in blood, especially his cloth got torn here and there.

 

He didn't wait and used cero on him again. Which made him blown away on the wall of the opposite side.

 

Arc then blinks. He noticed that maintaining his Erasure power against a strong opponent like him is hard.

 

However, when Arc was just expecting that, he will see lying down Domingo on the wall side he saw, Domingo in front of him, his eyes were red, it was not like Sharingan, it just thirsts for battle.

 

It made him blown away, even before he could hit the wall, Arc lost consciousness. Before he lost consciousness Arc IQ analyzed that, this power cannot be handled by his beginner-level ki body and hardening skill, the result would be the same if he use gomu gomu no mi.

 

 

 

Episode-54: Marriage Talk and Fight (3)

 

 

Arc opened his eyes. He saw his well-known celling of the training ground.

 

He remembered what happened before he lost consciousness. Arc instantly consume a stamina potion and stood up.

 

He saw King and Domingo looking at him.

 

"Looks like, I have lost badly."

 

Arc told them.

 

"Not really, in fact, your power impressed me. Just what was the hack you did back then? I was totally immobilized back then."

 

Domingo asked him. However, Arc didn't reply, he wasn't foolish enough to reveal anything to anyone, even if he is his biological brother.

 

Seeing that he was silent he didn't ask him anything further and told him,

 

"I have rarely seen someone as strong as you at your age, I am terrified of thinking how strong you would have been if you are paralyzed all those days."

 

Domingo said.

 

"Well, if the next King isn't strong enough he won't able to be run a nation."

 

King told him.

 

"Haha, you are right."

 

Domingo laughed and looked at Arc.

 

"The most fascinating fact is you don't seem to be flexible with your strength yet, still you have such a strong power."

 

He paused for a second before continuing again,

 

"I can just fathom how strong you can become if you master all of those, not to mention you have William's inheritance."

 

Domingo told him. Arc saw how strong William's inherent power is in the firsthand. Arc liked to have those power, however, he doesn't have time to waste his time to invest in those, because there is much more power which is waiting for him, and that his personal thought.

 

However, of course, Arc won't spell it in his voice.

 

"I will try my best to master the White Moon. You are such a strong guy, father-in-law."

 

The last sentence of Arc wasn't fake, he was so strong that, Arc couldn't react and fainted before he had the chance to use recovery potions, this implies how weak he is compared to true strong people.

 

"Well, I am somewhat powerful in nation standard, after all, people say, I am your father's right-hand man, so I am strong enough to back up this nation, as well as Isaac also strong enough to do the same."

 

Domingo then sit comfortably then continued,

 

"To be honest, I love you as my nephew, however, I was still confused whether I should betroth my only daughter to you who has a great future, and as a woman she needs a man that can stand with her, you gotta understand Arc, that I am still a father before anything, so, that's why I wanted to judge you if you failed my expectation, I still would have given her hand to you, however, I would never mind if she wanted to move with some other man, however, my mind has been changed, you are the perfect choice for her, I know how strong is, and a man worthy to not only stand beside her but also become an umbrella of her. Don't mind my so."

 

Hearing that, Arc sits with comfort. And then said,

 

'If I were you, I never would have given my daughter to a cripple, I am that kind of man, so, I have respect for you that you at least give me a chance. Well, not like she will have any man and woman relationship with me, at least not now, however, I feel still good to marry her, not just a random person."

 

"I see. Good to hear you. And let me advise one thing, no matter how strong and cold a woman is, if you can steal their heart, she must love you as a man. Remember this. And if you still couldn't win her heart, you can just marry a woman who can quench your thirst, this advice not as a father or elder, this advice I am giving you as a man."

 

Domingo smiled. Then he chuckled,

 

"Do you know, your mother-in-law use to be a student and later a teacher at Frozen Academy? Didn't I win her heart? Trust me, she was the second most person who is hard to melt, however, I could do it, so, I believe you can do it too."

 

Domingo told him. Looks like he opened his heart 100% after their battle.

 

"Then who is the coldest person you met who is hard to melt."

 

Arc asked him. Domingo shrugged after hearing that,

 

"Well, without a doubt it is your fiancee. Even as a father I never could get love from a child easily, however, she is my only child, so it also pained me some time."

 

"Looks like I have got into a big mess. Well, what can I do, if it is my father-in-law's request, I could try to make her melt. But don't expect from me much."

 

Arc told him while shaking his face.

 

"Hahaha, I have full trust in you, champion."

 

 

Episode-55: Dungeon Knight

 

Tonight Arc was fighting madly in the Dungeon after his loss against Domingo it made him realize how weak actually he is in front of a real expert.

 

"It seems like you are still dissatisfied with what happened earlier today."

 

Miranda commented. She understood why he was fighting like that, because every cell of his body saying that, he didn't take that defeat as easy as it seems.

 

"Yes, I need to be strong, much stronger than Domingo. Is Domingo in RanKings?"

 

Arc asked her.

 

"No, he is not in RanKings."

 

Miranda shakes her head.

 

"See, even a non-RanKing could defeat me like this as easy as pie, so what will happen if my enemy is a RanKing? My father won't be always there to protect me, will he?"

 

Arc asked her.

 

"Well, you are right, however, you just recovered a few days ago, so you need time to adjust to everything, more importantly, you lack the experience that Sir Domingo have, that is one of the basic reason that you have lost today."

 

Miranda told him.

 

"Yeah, I know that I really know that, that's where my concern is, it will take me at least more than two or three years to master something, however, if something happened between this it's all over. That guy, who came to kill me, Stoinis I mean, I would have lost to him, if I didn't have the trump card."

 

Arc told her.

 

"You don't have to worry until you got stronger, we are with you to protect you. You can rest assured, master."

 

Well, that's not what Arc was worried about.

 

'If I have something like a time chamber, I would have trained on that.'

 

Arc was thinking inwardly.

 

Arc sighed.

 

'I must not be greedy, the power I am having is much more than I deserve.'

 

Thinking that he progressed to fight against more monsters. One thing Arc noticed is that he has yet to have any SP unless he killed somebody, he has yet to kill them who he defeated, so, he didn't get any SP. Or the fight against Stoinis should have been rewarded a great amount of SP.

 

Or there is another way to gain SP, there is no detail about that.

 

"Should we enter the 20th-floor boss?"

 

Arc asked Miranda.

 

"Yeah, I guess you have the ability to defeat the 20th-floor boss, at least he is weaker than the Stoinis guy you have fought."

 

Miranda told him.

 

"I see. Well, then let's dive into the boss room."

 

Arc said with a smile.

 

When he entered the boss room, unlike other boss rooms he didn't see multiple bosses, but one guy who was sitting on a horse. He had knight equipment on his body and have a large sword in his hand.

 

"Oh, human you have finally come. I am waiting for you for thousands of years. Let me test you, whether you have the ability to progress more than this."

 

The Knight told him.

 

"Oh, it can talk."

 

Arc told Miranda.

 

"Yes, it's Knight of Demon Lord faction. It has higher intelligence than a normal demon."

 

Miranda replied to him.

 

"I see, sounds interesting."

 

Arc then got ready with his iron sand, the new feature of his Iron Sand is it can now spin like a drill. Arc achieve that with many tries, to understand the theory behind this.

 

"Oh, Knight of the Great Demon Lord, let me show you what I have got, I am pretty confident that I can proceed to the next dungeon easily."

 

Arc told him with a mocking smile.

 

"Hahaha, you have a confident boy. However, don't be overconfident. You don't know what demon got what power, by the way, do lump me with those monsters you have fought until now, they are not demons just brainless monsters."

 

Saying that the demon Knight's horse started to run toward him, Arc through his drilling Iron sand on him, The Knight defended it with his sword. He then send it another way, but little did he know that this can be manipulated, It came again from his point-blank range. The Knight could barely dodge it.

 

He almost slip from his horse, however, Arc liked his style. He is a good fighter. Arc wants to learn a few moves from him.

 

His Iron drill again went to attack him. Each time it comes toward him, he deflects it with the sword. Arc didn't use any ability other than this. Because he wants to test the new control of his magnet ability.

 

Arc then change the strategy and split those drills into two, now there are two drills. Arc then stood on the sand and got in a higher position. For controlling two drills he needs to be in a higher place two have a better view.

 

After getting an opening Arc attacked on him, with his point-blank range again. That guy tried to deflect that, however, his throat got stabbed with another one, because the drill that was not in his point-blank range got divided into two when he deflect that, he didn't notice that and went for the other one which cause him to his life.

 



Episode-56: Spirit Magic

 

 

"You again. Why are you coming again and again? This is the first time I saw that those who defeated me for the first time continued a dozen times. What the deal with you."

 

Demon Knight asked Arc.

 

"Come on dude, don't be that rude, you give most SP those weakling floors."

 

Arc told him. This guy gives him 2000 SP per run, so it's highest than any other boss, and it requires him a short time to defeat him. He also dropped a card in every 3 runs, which was also the highest.

 

"How strong you are? Each time you are using different magic or skill, how many magic abilities do you have?"

 

The demon Knight asked him.

 

"I have many skills and I am going to achieve many skills in the future. I have a goal to become a master of 1000 abilities"

 

Arc told him. Though he said him, as a joke, he thinks he can eventually have thousand of skills if things continue like that.

 

"Impossible, not even the highest ranking of humans and demons couldn't master more than 10 spells, how could you master 1000 spells? You can't even do 100 or 50 spells."

 

Demon Knight told him.

 

"Hahaha."

 

Laughing loudly Arc looked at Shop. He then bought Spirit with 30000 SP.

 

Spirit is the magic that summons ghosts. Arc summon a spirit which was a huge woman with a sword in her hand.

 

By the way, he can summon more spirit it seems because there was no cross on the Spirit mark. The summoning will be random, the stronger the master is stronger their spirit will be.

 

There was a description box. Arc opened it.

 

[What is spirit? It's like summoning a character from the anime world, however, the difference between a card summons and a spirit is, a card summons character can be stronger than the caster without a limitation, however, a spirit can never be stronger than his master. Spirit can only wake to its true form with all abilities and reveal its true name after baptism (Baptism card can be found on a higher level shop), where card summon will reveal their name as soon as they are summoned to this world. The last difference is, the card summons has certain limitations that how many times they will remain in this world, where as long as you have enough energy they can remain in this world. Now, what is the relationship between card and spirit? If you summon the same spirit and its card, by using the Soul Merge card (which can be found in a higher shop) you can attain their card summon form as long as you want depending on your energy.]

 

Arc pretty much understands what was written with his IQ.

 

"What is this? Ghost? You can use ghost's summoning magic?"

 

Demon Knight asked.

 

"Yes. Could anybody other than me summon them?"

 

Arc asked him.

 

"Of course, those who have witch ability can do that, Lich also can summon them. It's not a normal technique."

 

Demon Knight told him.

 

"I see."

 

Arc was wondering if he have to fight with those too.

 

The ghost pulls up her sword on top of her head and delivers a blow to Demon Knight.

 

"Ah, shit."

 

Demon Knight's sword clashes with hers.

 

After that, both of them started to exchange swords with each other. The clash of two nonhuman beings was somewhat intense to look at.

 

Both of them show pure physical ability. Arc didn't think that this Ghost can be this good, he thought, he will assist her from behind, but it was unnecessary.

 

That ghost was enough to beat Demon Knight.

 

This time Arc got Ichigo Shard, as for the new shard he got a Megumin card from KonoSuba.

 

'It would be a good fun time if I summon that Explosion card.'

 

Arc thought inwardly.

 

Megumin was from Crimson Demon Village, it was a village that even demon generals avoided. It's not they are powerful, they are just too crazy of a clan. He needs 29 shards more to unlock her.

 

Another shard he got, was the Eren Yeager shard, he is from Attack On Titan anime, and inherited the Ancestor Titan. This shard also fascinated him because Eren was an immortal giant.

 

For Eren, he needs 44 shards more to unlock him.

 

"Do you want to continue more of this boss, master?"

 

Miranda asked him.

 

"No, I am done today."

 

Arc squished his hands on his head.

 

Arc the look at the spirit, he saw there was a cancel summon option.

 

[Cancel Summon]

 

The spirit vanished like smoke. Arc then thinks about something and re-summons it, then again cancels the summon.

 

Arc then nodded. He found a new fighting strategy.

 

When he will dive into the dungeon again, he will apply them surely.

 

Arc then opens the gate with 2000 SP and exits to his room.

 

Episode-57: Brotherly love

 

 

"That kind of spirit magic used by a dark magician, I never thought they can be summoned without using dark magic."

 

Miranda remarks.

 

"I see. What if I am a dark magic user?"

 

Arc asked her. Hearing that she shook her head and said,

 

"Dark magicians are special. You can sense them, because of the amount of negative power they use while they cast magic, you can feel them with your skin, master. And I feel no negative energy."

 

Miranda explained.

 

"I see. So, they are actually predictable, which is favorable for me. No, one will expect this, that this kind of thing is coming."

 

Arc told her.

 

"I was thinking about that too, master."

 

Miranda replied.

 

Arc then resummon the spirit. Then he told her,

 

"Grab that glass and pour me water."

 

Arc actually trying to see, how much control and obedience that ghost has. It seems like she was doing as he said, she gave him a glass of water.

 

Arc took the glass and drink the water. Then he cancels it.

 

"Looks like he will be handy."

 

Miranda observes her.

 

"Yea, if it can do little things which are unrelatable from battle then I have a great handle on it."

 

Arc told her. The sword that was the ghost holding is as tall as Arc. He was pretty tall himself, so how big the ghost was?

 

"Are lich and witches forbidden here?"

 

He asked her while he cancel the ghost.

 

"Not really, even in Kings guard team, there are many witches and liches. In the army, witches are one of the fearful units."

 

Miranda told him.

 

"King even has assassin teams. As well as Ninjas, you have seen already."

 

She said.

 

"I see. That's good then, I will not get into controversy if I use that. Good thing."

 

Arc then went to bed for sleeping. He saw she was standing there.

 

"What are you thinking about? Won't you sleep?"

 

He asked her.

 

"I guess, I can't be in your room anymore after one week."

 

She told him.

 

"Well, I am counting on you when I am in the dormitory with you."

 

Arc told her while closing his one eye.

 

Miranda didn't tell him anything anymore, she just smiled and sleep on the sofa in his room. His room was quite big, there was a huge sofa where one person can sleep easily. Arc could sleep on the sofa instead of her because he has a circumstance he didn't show the benefit of gender to her.

 

The next day, Ariana came to his house.

 

"Ah, Ariana dear, I didn't see you after that day, did mama beat you that hard?"

 

Arc asked her as a joke.

 

"No, however, I have gotten into enough trouble for that."

 

She replied.

 

"I see, what did she do to you? Will your big brother punish your mama for you?"

 

Arc told her. Hearing that, Miranda looked at him with a creepy face. As if she was dying in cringe. Then she sighed.

 

"Stop that, don't make my life hard anymore, brother."

 

She told him.

 

"Oh... Brother? Miranda, you heard that right? Did she ever call me brother before?"

 

Arc asked Miranda.

 

"No, I have never heard that."

 

Miranda replied flatly Hearing that Arc looked at Ariana with a serious face.

 

"Neeeeee!"

 

Arc imitates the voice of the Japanese.

 

"Can you stop that, brother?"

 

She was annoyed now. Arc then stood up and sat on the sofa, where she was sitting. She got surprised that he was standing and sitting on the sofa.

 

"You..."

 

She tried to point that, however, he patted her.

 

"Am I now less annoyed?"

 

Arc told her. A few seconds passed. Her face got red, and her eyes got moist as if she is getting emotional.

 

"Why you guys were like that? Big brother you and second brother Adam, why you guys never did act like brothers? You always ignored me before you got in that state, and Brother Adam always use me for dirty work, never showed me, brotherly love. You guys always are busy with your own position and attitude while ignoring me, mother never spoke to me normally, and father is too busy. You guys never gave me proper familial love. Why are you guys like that? Why your hand felt warmer than anyone today? Why I am suddenly feeling not too repulsive against you?"

 

She asked him. Arc then stopped petting her and touched the cheek.

 

"Your only sin was to be born in the royal family, it was similar for me and Adam too. We are cursed by this status by birth, we didn't choose that. Do not worry my little sister, no matter what kind of attitude I showed you..."

 

Arc touch her forehead with his index and middle finger, like Itachi Uchiha, and said,

 

"I always love you."

 

Arc told her with a genuine smile. She got surprised and her cheek got redder. She then touches his fingers with her hand.

 

"Now, I remember that you once said a similar thing when I was sick in childhood."

 

She told him.

 

'Well, did I say that?'

 

 



Episode-58: Complex

The power struggle started for both of the brothers when Adam was just born. Even if they don't understand the meaning of it, adults around them were pushing things out.

 

This affected Ariana too. She was taught by her mother and brother to hate his elder half-brother.

 

But her elder brother never harms them. In the kid's book, she learned about the concept of a good guy and a bad guy. She couldn't categorize him as the bad guy.

 

So, she wanted her big brother's attention, because unlike her mother and 2nd brother he was way different.

 

Because there was once she got hurt by falling from stairs. However, there was no visible wound, so no one gave much attention there.

 

She was crying while saying no one cared about her. Then she was called by Atc secretly. He then bandaged her and called the healer to heal her.

 

Then she asked him,

 

"Brother, why nobody loves me?"

 

Arc then said,

 

"Even if nobody loves you, remember that your big brother loves you."

 

He then patted her,

 

"But your brother has limitations, that how much he can show it. Because we are always playing bad games."

 

Then Arc stood up and gave chocolate from the refrigerator.

 

"Come secretly every day, I will give you chocolate."

 

Arc told her with a smile. That was the first time when she saw that, her brother too can show a kind smile. She likes it.

 

"Okay, brother."

 

She replied with a smile. After that, she was coming into his room secretly. Every time Arc gave her chocolate.

 

Until she turned 11 when she saw that her elder brother's half-brother caught the disease.

 

After that, she never got chocolate anymore, never got the love she expected. From time to time, she becomes toxic about everything and started to abuse Arc too because why the only person who loved her turned out like that.

 

'Talk about strange brotherly love.'

 

When she told him, "Now, I remember that you once said a similar thing when I was sick in childhood."

 

Arc remembers he also saw this dream before, but somehow he forgot that because many things were going on in his mind.

 

"Your sibling's love works really in a strange way."

 

She told him.

 

"And you did become an abused girl after that. What happened to you back then?"

 

Arc asked her.

 

"I do not know. It was both orders from mother and brother to beat you and on the other hand, you just become silent, without telling me, you didn't give me chocolate or love, that's why everything became heavy in my head. Though they told me to beat you, I never did that, because I still had great care for you brother. I just couldn't show that to you, because I was afraid of the mother. That's all."

 

Then she sighed and continued,

 

"I was afraid to face you, for various reasons, because whenever I saw you I remember the day I had with you, we have much fun back then, you always told me stories. I do not want to remember those sweet memories which were equally painful and there is their order, that's why to show everyone I started to bad-mouth in public because if I do that maids won't cross paths with you and me, and I won't be in a bad circumstance."

 

She smiled. Arc then lean on the sofa and said while sighing,

 

"I see. Lots going on with you too."

 

Arc then thought, 'Even if I didn't put her under my geass, she would have eventually been in his team. No... what am I thinking about? What I did was for the best insurance.'

 

"I am sorry for everything brother, I am really sorry. I know you won't forgive me, after all, the love you showed for me in the past, and paid back you like that while you aren't in a good situation. I have come to say that last time when you got accused by Brother Adam, but I was too afraid to say that."

 

She told him.

 

"Miranda, the box I bought the previous day, please give me that."

 

Arc told to Miranda. She went in front of the refrigerator and took out a box. Apparently, it was a chocolate box.

 

Arc took that from her, and give that box to Ariana.

 

"This box is for you, my dear little Ariana, your brother couldn't share this with you before for various reasons, so I am sorry, and this box is something that I am trying to make even with you, as the form of apology."

 

Hearing that, Ariana's eyes became big and at the same time, the sweetest smile appeared on her face. It is both an apology and a signature of forgiveness from her brother. She took the box and ate one chocolate. Then she jumped on his chest.

 

"I love you, big brother."

 

Ariana reminded him, of his little sister from the earth, she was also naggy for chocolate, ice cream, and pizza. So, sometimes he would treat her special after getting the salary from his part-time work. The smile she always showed him was priceless.

 

 



Episode-59: Shop-4 Conditions

 

 

"I never knew that, you have recovered fully, brother."

 

Ariana asked him.

 

"Well, actually I recovered long ago. However, I ain't feel like revealing it to everybody. I just want to see the more fun stuff."

 

Arc told her.

 

"I see. Well, I already told you the main reason why I have come here. The side reason is, I have heard that you are marrying Zerin White."

 

Ariana asked him.

 

"Ah, yes, King has decided that. Do you have some information regarding her?"

 

Arc replied.

 

"I see. It's not secret information or anything, everyone knows what kind of students Frozen Academy builds. All of the students are cold, proud, arrogant, and self-centric. They genuinely don't have any emotion or love in their heart, I hope you won't get any expectations on her to get her love because even before she got into the academy, she was a cold person, to begin with."

 

Ariana told him.

 

'What is she? Xia Qingyue?'

 

Arc thought inwardly, however, in a voice he told her,

 

"Do not worry. You have already guessed my true nature. As long as she doesn't get in my way, there is nothing to do with her. However, if she is someone who wants to hurt me, I will show them how hell looked her."

 

Arc replied to her.

 

"I am sure you will be get enchanted by her beauty. She is the most beautiful person I have ever seen and is a publicly recognized number one beauty. You will fall for her at first glance. On top of that, she will be your wife anyway. So, you must keep your rational judgment when you face her."

 

Ariana told him.

 

'What the hack! Am I meeting a strong succubus?'

 

Arc thought seriously. She saw a beautiful woman last day who was enough blow for him, now if he meets another beautiful woman like her it will really turmoil in his mind.

 

'I am a normie too, in the end. Well, it's not a bad thing, every boy with healthy d&$k will feel the same.'

 

"Sigh! Well, we will see about that later. In the end, I will do the things that fate wants me to do. So, what about your Academy?"

 

Arc asked her.

 

"Oh, this is the last thing I want to tell you, it is you and I will be in the same class as you because you were lacked behind in academic life. Father told me to inform you and show you the guidance."

 

Ariana told him.

 

"I see, I will learn my lesson with juniors. Well, I don't mind, it will be fun."

 

Arc replied to her.

 

"Well, that's fine then. I will excuse myself for now."

 

Saying that she stood up and started to exit.

 

"What do you think about her?"

 

Arc asked Miranda.

 

"Who? Lady Ariana or Lady Zerin?"

 

Miranda asked.

 

"Ariana."

 

"I do not, I never talk to her. I always conversed with your brother. He was the one who instruct me to take you to the spot where no one can see you got beaten."

 

Miranda replied.

 

"I know then for 2 and half years. So, I always thought Lady Ariana was some haughty royal lady, however, today I am seeing her with new eyes. Maybe she always acting in front of everyone, however, she has a good little heart."

 

She explained her thoughts.

 

"I see. I do not remember everything, however, I saw that she was trying her heard to get the attention of everyone, in the end, nobody really cares about her, then out of pity and sibling bond I approached her, she was a really sweet girl."

 

Arc told her.

 

"You are the sweetest master."

 

Miranda told him.

 

"You think so too. Haha, I also think that I am a big fat sweet guy."

 

Arc joked about himself. Then he looks at the shop.

 

[You have met the requirements to active shop-4. However, if you challenge the next shop-level boss, you will not be able to buy anything until 60 days, regardless of your failure or success. Buying a potion, Teleportation Gate passes, and the paper bomb is an exception.]

 

This was the reason he wasn't challenging the shop-level boss. He needs to think about it more. He decided to buy every possible thing before challenging it.

 

'It will be tough if it is for every shop level boss challenge.'

 

Well, he is getting power without talent or anything so he guesses that some restrictions might come on his way.

 

Arc was thinking he should practice all of the acquired power to its best. He knows that he cannot master them this fast. However, he can at least know to use them properly.

 

And this is a good time too for a break because he has marriage and academy matters to handle in front of him.

 

"Well, everything has a good reason, the system is giving me this much, so I must not complain about its restrictions."

 

Arc muttered with a smile.

 

 



Episode-60: Marriage Party?

 

 

Arc was in front of the throne room.

 

"Have you called for me, Your Majesty?"

 

Arc asked the King.

 

"No, this time not me, it is Queen who called you."

 

Arc already saw her, however, he intentionally ignored her.

 

"Your Majesty Queen, nice to meet you again."

 

Arc greeted her when King pointed out that she called her, it was as if he noticed her just now.

 

"Haha, you can call me mother, you know? Well, the reason I have called you here was that I was discussing with King that, your marriage will be a grand occasion for everyone to meet, so, we want to hold a grand party for your marriage, of course, we will allow media coverage. What's your opinion regarding that?"

 

She asked me. Arc couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

 

'What this woman is planning now? Media Coverage?'

 

Then he got the answer immediately, so she want to make it public, show his disability and make publically ridicule and burn them to jealousy. They will make memes about him, as this was not a medieval era but an internet era.

 

Things will get complicated for him if that happens. Arc looked at the KIng. In his eyes, there is clearly trouble showing, and it was signaling that you can reject it. Arc then thought,

 

'Never heard of negative marketing? Let me teach you old woman what negative marketing is.'

 

Arc smiled and said.

 

"If it makes your majesty happy, I will not be against it. You can hold a grand party, Your Majesty."

 

Hearing Arc she thought, 'Damn boy! You fall under my trap, you have gone blind marrying the most beautiful woman in the country, and it will be the very reason for your downfall. Never heard of fame fatal.'

 

Arc can guess more or less what she was thinking. He won't refute her plan for now.

 

"That's good to hear, my son. Unlike your father, you have a colored heart. What will I do with your father?"

 

She told Arc. He smiled at her but didn't tell her anything.

 

[It's me father, let her do whatever she wants for now.]

 

Arc told the King with telepathy.

 

[What is telepathy? Do you have this ability too? I never knew that, seems like you have never talked with Isaac with telepathy.]

 

'So, he didn't tell this to the King. Looks like he doesn't feel necessary to report everything.'

 

[Yes, father, but it is only activated when I want to talk with someone.]

 

Arc told him.

 

[I see, it was your innate ability.]

 

King then became silent and told him,

 

[Good, good ability. Okay, I like this approach of yours. You can choose whatever you want, if things become a mess, I will help you.]

 

[Okay, father. By the way, there is something I want to ask you.]

 

Arc told him.

 

[What is it?]

 

[Where is my mother? I had never seen her after I came to my senses. I want to meet her.]

 

Arc was certain that she wasn't dead. Arc will try to heal her with twilight heal. He wants to replace that queen as soon as he can.

 

[Sigh! While you were unconscious your mother's health got worse. So, she was sealed to a chamber that nobody can enter now. It is a heavily guarded and sealed state. A person from Albania gave us a capsule that is helping her to keep her body intact, however, as soon as you remove the seal, it will again make her body weaken.]

 

He replied to Arc.

 

[I see. So, that does explain it. But I want to see her. My heart became an ocean of tears just to see her once. Can I have permission to see her once?]

 

Arc asked him.

 

[For now, no. I will discuss this matter with that Albanian, he doesn't do work without money, and that's not a little sum, so I need to have a meeting with him regarding that, can you give me a few days.]

 

He requested Arc.

 

'It looks like, he really can't give me permission to see her. I guess there is a circumstance.'

 

[Okay, if it's like that, there is nothing I can do. I will wait for her, for more days.]

 

Arc replied to him. Seeing that, there was long silent Queen asked,

 

"What are you thinking my son? Do you want to change the plan?"

 

She asked him.

 

"No, I was just excited. It has been a long time since I am in a party, and not only that I am the center of it. So, I feel really melancholy about the past, when I used to have parties with many friends of mine."

 

Arc replied to her.

 

"I see, then that's good for you. Look forward to it my boy, I will make that your best party. Believe me."

 

She replied to him with a smile.

 

'I know how much you are trying to make it best my mother. Oh, well. Let see. What you are planning for me.'
