Assassination System

Strangely, the red dots that filled the minimap didn\'t dare to approach his vicinity and the young girl. Looking around, there he found the dangerous beasts staring at him with fear, visible in their eyes.

Darting his gaze back at the young girl, she said, "Ermm, little girl, do you know who I am?" His tone amiable and refreshing to the ears. But the young girl disregarded what he said, completely oblivious to his presence, she continued her planting and song.

Beaded sweats formed on Dan\'s forehead, back in his previous life. He was an otaku with a title known as the Conqueror. The reason was no matter how high the difficulty was, as long as it was a dating sim, Dan could conquer the hearts of those women and make them fall on his lap.

But no matter how strong of a technique you have or how high your charisma was, if the woman didn\'t even care about your presence, you won\'t even be able to start your crusade, much less conquer her.

Lightly coughing his embarrassment away, Dan scanned the surroundings and found that numerous shining minerals could be seen scattered around the area. Picking up a pebble that looked like an Opal in his previous life, Dan moved near the young girl and presented it before her.

The young girl\'s jet-black eyes flashed with innocence, staring at the resplendent pebbles, Dan sighed in relief when he realized that he caught her attention. "Do you want these rocks?"

Her motions stopped and she lifted her head to stare at Dan with an adorable expression. However, Dan frowned for his experience in dealing with women told him that though she displayed such a sweet visage, a deep bitterness and regret hid deep within her eyes.

Ever since he saw this young girl, Dan didn\'t understand why he felt such a connection with her. As if they were fruits that belonged to the same tree. The young girl nodded her head and Dan said, "Then why don\'t you take it?"

The young girl shook her head, staring at her ghost-like figure, Dan slapped his forehead. The reason why she couldn\'t take these rocks was that she was an intangible existence that could never influence the real world.

Realizing this fact, Dan didn\'t understand why he felt sad, and that he could somehow relate to her circumstances. He hung his head low, towards this matter, he was powerless.

The young girl lifted her right hand, her expression revealed her worry towards him. Raising her hand, she tried to pat her head but failed when her hand went directly through his body. Dan felt a fuzzy feeling rising in his heart. Keeping the pebbles to himself, he said, "Little girl, since you refer to me as Big Brother, do you know who brother is?"

The little girl froze, her adorable expression went cold and she distanced herself from Dan. Her sudden change astonished him but before he could explain, the little girl said, "This is not the right time, yet... Big Brother..."

She repeated what she said and she once again disregarded his presence. This irritated Dan who couldn\'t handle it anymore and inspected her with the System, mumbling under his breath, a series of system notification appeared in the air.

[Name: ??? Age: ??? Status: Fragmented Spirit of the Demonic Race\'s Princess]

[Cultivation: ???]

[Stats: ?????]

[System Evaluation: ????]

\'What in the hell? Did a bug happened in the System?\' Dan\'s eyebrows knitted as he mused, but before he could think even further. His eyes widened when it landed on the piece of information that indicated her Status. Calming his nerves, Dan thought, \'She\'s actually from the Demonic Race? Such an adorable girl like her is a demon?\'

According to the information that he gathered from the libraries of both Empires. The ultimate enemy of humanity were the demons. For they devoured humanity and treat them as livestock. Several thousands of years ago, humanity managed to break free from their shackles and obtained independence, all the while hunting down the demonic race until the brink of extinction.

Now in the present time, those who belonged from the Demonic Race still existed but they hid far away from the human\'s reach. But this time, Dan actually met someone that belonged to that treacherous race. And what\'s more ridiculous was, he felt a sense of familiarity towards her.

\'Could it be that I am a Demon, myself?\' He thought but soon dispersed the idea.

What a joke! Someone who revered the Gods, particularly the Lightning God and even obtained his blessings shouldn\'t come from the Demonic Race. But still, just what is the source of this strange familiarity and spiritual connection?

The little girl stopped her motions and stared at his direction. Dan didn\'t know why but he felt that she must\'ve realized his probing as an awkward smile lifted on her lips, "Since Big Brother insists, I shall give Big brother a clue, but it is up to you if you\'re gonna believe what I say..." This time, her tone turned mature and indifferent, making him knit his eyebrows in surprise.

Dan nodded his head, his eyes shining in a light of anticipation. The little girl crossed her arms together, walking near him, she stretched her hands out and cupped his chin before saying, "Big brother, do you really not remember everything that you did, several thousands of years ago?"

"What do you mean several thousands of years ago? I\'m just a sixteen years old human. How could I live that long?" Dan retorted but the little girl chuckled, "Well since you don\'t remember anything, I cannot be presumptuous and tell you everything I know. Since when that time comes, I don\'t want to be annihilated by you..."

A teasing smile lifted on her lips, making her give a vibe of maturity despite her small body.

Dan\'s expression looked indescribable, "I promise that I won\'t annihilate you when that time comes, so can you please just tell me everything that you know?"

Seeing his pleading expression, the little girl chuckled, turned her body and mumbled, "You still don\'t get it, yet since you don\'t remember," She chuckled, and her figure started becoming blurry and faint, Dan realized that she was about to disappear and hurriedly shouted in protest.

But all he heard was the little girl\'s final chuckle as she whispered into the air, "Still, it\'s pretty amusing, teasing someone like you, my beloved, Emperor..."

Upon her disappearance, a sense of imminent danger shocked his body as Dan turned around and found that the beast who looked hesitant in approaching him earlier rushed at his back, baring their fangs, they aimed at his neck as Dan clicked his tongue and switched places with his doppelganger outside the Valley.

The scenery around him distorted and he found himself outside the Valley as a system notification informed him about the death of his clone. Dan sucked a cold air, It didn\'t even take two seconds for his clone to die under those beasts\' attack. And since his clone possessed half of his capabilities, Dan would at most last, four seconds under such siege.

Heaving a sigh of relief, he thanked the author for the timely gift of the Clone Technique skill as he proceeded towards the direction of the Black Wing Gang\'s pavilion.

It was already morning and the Bazaar, particularly around the Black Wing Gang became bustling as ever. As the leader of its region, the Black Wing Gang established numerous entertainment establishments for the enjoyment of everyone, though they were mostly gambling.

Entering the Black Wing Gang region, Dan requested Leader Blackie\'s presence and told him that he had the Noxius Mushroom that he asked for. Leader Blackie stared at Dan in shock, due to the dangerous location where they could be found and their rarity, almost no one sold this kind of mushroom so he knew that Dan definitely took this by himself.

Just how did he survive inside that certain death valley? He thought but his expression remained the same on the outside. Staring at Dan, he received the Noxius Mushroom and said, "Since you accomplished what I asked, come back here a year later and I\'ll let you use the Spatial Tunneling Formation..." He waved his hand, indicating for him to leave, but Dan\'s expression soured,

"Just what do you mean by this, Leader Blackie? Didn\'t you told me that you would let me use your Spatial Tunneling Formation once I completed the task that you required?"

Leader Blackie chuckled upon witnessing his actions, "Of course I told you that, but did I tell you that I will let you use it now?" He raised an eyebrow and displeasure could be seen on his face. As a mere ant with the cultivation at the lowest realm, how dare he reply in such a way? He inwardly thought,

Dan\'s expression went cold, though he didn\'t want any trouble, he wasn\'t a pushover either and the two stared at each other in a standstill for a moment before Leader Blackie coldly snorted, "Didn\'t I just dismiss you? Why are you still standing there like a goddamned pest?"

Dan\'s face flashed with numerous emotions, suppressing his anger, he lifted his head and stared directly into Leader Blackie\'s eyes, "You will regret this..." He coldly spat before turning around and leaving.

Leader Blackie\'s expression went cold upon hearing his declaration. But he soon forgot about it, after all. How could ant like him deserve his attention? With a mere flick of his sleeve, he could literally destroy him so why should he bother?

Little didLeader Blackie knew that when Dan came out from his room, he activated Absolute Disguise and walked towards the deeper parts of the pavilion using the former\'s face.

"Since you\'re unwilling to let me borrow your precious artifact, don\'t mind if I steal it..." He mumbled under his breath as he made his way towards the room that the System indicated.
