Fred 's pov I needed to start thinking wide. If Damian could erase the past then what about the present. " What are you not telling me system? If Damian could alter the past then he could also do that to the future can't he?" [ Ding! ][ System alertness: Damain is evolving and so is the dark system within him. You need to erase him and make sure you stop the bonding with the system. You need to go back in time and stop it. ]I ran my hand over my hair. None of this was making any sense again. How do I even get myself in this mess in the first place?[ System message: We don't have time Fred. If Damian should go back in time and decide to stop you from binding with the system then I am sorry, you are going to lose all your powers and every connection you have with the system. ]" Why are you just telling me this now? You know there was a desk system and I am just finding out?" I said in anger. [ System message : In actual fact, there are three type of system. You have the light sy

Damain’s POV My heart was pounding in my chest, louder than the system’s silence in my head. For a second, I believed—hoped—that Bernard had finally seen me. That the cold, calculating man I called father had finally decided I was worthy. But no. That smile I’d seen… it wasn’t for me. It was a smirk laced with poison. I gritted my teeth. The iron rod felt heavier in my hand now, like it knew what I was contemplating. Like it had become aware of its potential, of the blood it could spill. My father stepped back, his hands still tucked neatly into his pockets. “Damain, do you know what the problem with you is?” he asked with a tone so casual, it infuriated me. “You think trying is enough. You think showing up once or twice, getting beat, and surviving it somehow makes you eligible for power.” I stepped closer, my grip tightening. “You don’t think I’ve changed?” “I think you’ve grown arrogant. Delusional.” His eyes were stone-cold, unreadable. “If I ever considered you, even for a

Damain’s POV Darkness. Then heat. I woke up to the scent of blood. The air tasted foul in my nose. My hands were covered in red—fresh, warm, and dripping. My body trembled as I staggered backward, heart pounding like a war drum inside my chest. I turned. Two bodies. Two men. Their eyes stared up at the ceiling, empty. Hollow. One of them had a broken neck; the other was still twitching, gasping, fighting for air that would never come. “No…” I whispered, backing into the wall. “No, no, no—” [System voice: Now that’s more like it.] “I didn’t do this!” I shouted. [System voice: Technically, you did. I just helped you feel less… conflicted.] I dropped to my knees, shaking. These were men I’d grown up watching. Warriors. Guardians of my home. My father trusted them with his life. And I had butchered them. Or rather, the system had, using me like a marionette. I looked around wildly. We were in the training room. The mats beneath their corpses soaked up the blood like a thirs

Damain's povI knew it was only a matter of time before the news of my father's death spread far and near. Most of the underground lords were going to fight over his seat like it was some kind of trophy. [ System voice ; You did it.]" I did nothing! You did everything. All of this is your fault!" I yelled with tears streaming down my face. I felt sharp pain at the back of my neck and fell to the ground. [ System voice ; You know the beauty of our bond, you can feel everything I am feeling and I can feel what you feel too. Do you think you can have real power without my help? You called me for me, you wanted my help. ]I got up robbing my face. " I don't want you help! I don't want anything from you." I said in anger. " You killed the only person that mattered in my life. [ System voice ; Killed? I helped you boy. You would have been crushed by Fred who wanted you to pay for your sins. But now that there is no attachment then we can destroy Fred. ]" You keep saying this like thi

Federick povAxle stepped back slowly with his gaze fixed on me. " Who is that?" I called out slowly. If you are having a power, you aint suppose to be sacred but I was. I knew the system within me was not strong enough to beat Damain. " Open the door, Fred!" Dully shouted with a loud voice. I rushed to have the door opened and he walked in. " Did you see the news?" Dully asked staring at me. " That bastard killed my father. I swear to god I am going to end him!" Dully said with vermin in his voice. I looked at Dully and still didn't understand why he was angry. Here was a man who didn't care for him. Even went ahead to have him shot in the eyes. " Dully, you need to calm down and let's think this through." I said slowly trying to think. " Have you ever thought of Damian is actually capable of all this?" The room was laced with tension. " Are you saying he might not want too?" Axle asked, his gaze fixed on me. " Exactly. The system has a power of it own. We can't assume that
