Chapter 10: The Grand Operation (Part 3)
“Then let’s hope the king is a little weaker than a dragon,” Mira said lightly, although the faint edge in her voice suggested that she was only half joking. “Because I really don’t want to find out what happens if he isn’t.”Lyra turned toward her with an amused smile. “You should definitely hope he is,” she replied calmly, folding her arms across her chest. “Otherwise, we may have to come up with a second plan.”Mira’s smile slowly disappeared.She looked at Lyra for a moment before glancing toward Adrian. “I suddenly dislike the sound of that,” she admitted, her voice losing its earlier playfulness.Adrian ignored the exchange and returned his attention to the map spread across the table.Several sections of the castle had been marked with small symbols, each one representing a different stage of the operation. He ran his finger along the royal wing before stopping at the chamber where the king was expected to receive his morning potion.“The next phase of the plan is where you com
Chapter 9: The Grand Operation (Part 2)
“Being one of the Dark Emperors, the king possesses an enormous amount of power and dark energy,” Adrian explained, tapping the center of the map with one finger. “Fortunately, we don’t need to fight him directly. We only need to exploit his weakness.”Ethan leaned closer to the table, his attention fixed on the map as the tension in his chest slowly gave way to curiosity.“What weakness?” he asked, keeping his voice controlled even though he could already feel his pulse quickening.Adrian slowly moved his finger away from the chamber marked as the king’s room and guided it toward another section of the castle.“The king takes a special dark potion every morning,” he explained, his tone becoming more deliberate as he revealed the first part of the plan. “That potion allows him to maintain his human appearance.”Ethan’s brows immediately drew together.“A potion?” he repeated, staring at Adrian as if he had expected something far more complicated.Adrian gave a small nod. “A very power
Chapter 8: The Grand Operation (Part 1)
“God, please help me today,” Ethan muttered under his breath, forcing himself to take a slow breath and relax his shoulders.He gave the room one final glance, making sure he had not forgotten anything, then adjusted his jacket one more time before stepping through the door.The moment he entered the hallway, the atmosphere changed.The corridor stretched far ahead of him, wide enough for several people to walk side by side, while its polished stone floor reflected the warm sunlight pouring through the tall windows along the walls.Several magical lanterns floated beneath the high ceiling, each one carrying a small white flame that burned steadily without producing smoke. They drifted gently in the air, rising and falling by the smallest amount, almost as if they were breathing.Ethan slowed as he looked around.Everything about the place was elegant.Too elegant.At the far end of the hallway, the corridor opened into a massive circular staircase. The staircase spiraled downward arou
Chapter 7: A Close Call
Ethan’s eyes wandered around the unfamiliar room as he tried to figure out where he was supposed to get ready. He had already discovered that the people downstairs expected him to attend a royal ceremony, but nobody had bothered to tell him where the bathroom was.He glanced toward one side of the room and noticed a narrow wooden door built into the wall, its surface decorated with faint silver markings that glowed softly whenever the light from the windows touched them.“That has to be it,” he muttered, walking toward it.He had barely raised his hand toward the doorknob when the door opened by itself.Ethan stopped.The door swung inward with a quiet, almost polite movement, revealing a bathroom unlike anything he had ever seen on Earth.He stepped inside slowly, his eyes moving across the room in disbelief.The bathroom looked as though someone had taken the elegance of a royal palace and combined it with advanced magical technology.Smooth white stone covered the floor and walls,
CHAPTER 6: The First Quest
Ethan’s eyes remained fixed on the system interface, his attention solely focused on LOGAN VARELLO’s INFO.If he could unlock Logan’s information, perhaps he would gain access to the man’s history, his identity, his relationships, and maybe even his memories.That last possibility made Ethan pause.If he could access Logan’s memories, he might finally understand what had happened to him. He might discover how Logan died, why Ethan had taken his place, and what kind of world he had been thrown into.But the System required him to complete a quest first.He remembered seeing one quest available in the home screen. He would check it soon. But first, he wanted to understand the System itself.Ethan moved his finger toward the third option.[ SYSTEM INFO ]The screen responded immediately.The previous list faded away, and a larger panel unfolded before him.[ SYSTEM INFORMATION ][System Designation: SOVEREIGN CLASS ][System Status: ACTIVE ][ System Origin: CELESTIAL ENGINEER ][ System
Chapter 5: The System
The witch let out a long, irritated sigh, her shoulders dropping as though Ethan’s continued silence had finally exhausted the last of her patience.“Fine. All of you, go downstairs,” Lyra said, turning toward the others with a sharp look. “I’ll talk to him and get him ready. If we keep standing around here, we’ll miss the ceremony before we even leave the house.”Mira uncrossed her arms, her expression suggesting that she had been waiting for someone to say exactly that. Gruk gave a low grunt of agreement, while Adrian remained where he was, his pale face turned toward Ethan.For a moment, the vampire simply studied him. Then Adrian turned toward the door.“You better have his stupid ass dressed within ten minutes,” he told Lyra, his voice carrying a cold warning as he glanced back over his shoulder. “If he isn’t downstairs by then, our three-year plan is going to be sabotaged before we even leave for the ceremony.”Mira’s eyebrows rose, and a faint smile touched her lips. “You reall
