BXBX NOVEL Chapter 95: Darren
{Congratulations, Quest completed.}
{Host have been rewarded with a new permanent cheat known as; [Shield Of Courage] Epic-Class.}
\'Description?\'
{[Shield Of Courage] Description: Has the power to defend against anyone two ranks above Host.}
Supreme grinned, the skill he was looking for was finally rewarded to him.
"Ok, Micky. You are strong, that\'s commendable, but you need to master your sword." She walked towards him.
"Sit down with your legs cross." She stopped in front of him.
Supreme looked at her for a Moment, then complied. He removed his feet from the ground, and walked towards Drakon and Reaper; then sat down and crossed his legs.
"Now clear your mind, and try to infuse your Mana in your sword." She added, sitting in front of him.
"It won\'t accept it, you know that."
"Try again, mean it this time."
After a moment of thinking, he nodded and closed his eyes, channeling his Mana in the starlight sword.
The sword rejected it again.
"You are bounded with the sword in VRG, but not in the real world, it only means one thing. There is a seal in this sword." She said with a thoughtful expression. "Try again." She added.
He nodded, and channeled more of his Mana in it. He was stunned hearing the system\'s words in his head.
{Seal discovered.}
{Does host want to remove seal?}
\'Do you need to ask?\'
{100 points needed, that\'s why I asked.}
Supreme was stunned. \'100 points!!! Do it.\'
{Successful.}
{Host will be taken to another world.}
\'Wha--\'
Before he could ask, his consciousness was pulled away from his body, towards a place he knew nothing about.
A golden light emanated from the sword enclosing his figure in an impenetrable energy the shape of an egg, Which slowly ascends into the air.
\'What is happening to the Lord?\' Reaper asked Drakon.
\'Don\'t know, I think we just have to wait.\'
Jennifer closed her eyes, not utterly a word.

In a space devoured of light, time and gravity; filled with nothing but endless Darkness. Michael appeared, floating aimlessly around.
"Huh?" He took in his surrounding. "System! Where the hell am I?"
NO ANSWER.
"System?!"
STILL NO ANSWER.
"I don\'t know who you are screaming out to, but he/she or it isn\'t here."
A breathtaking voice sounded, the voice was so smooth that Michael turned around expecting to see a woman. Instead...
... A man with shoulder-length black hair, two backward curves horns as black as obsidian on his head and two pure red eyes came to view.
The man in front of him was so muscular and well-built that Michael looked at himself with a frown. In appearance, this man putting on expensive looking fur coat and pants, standing in front of him is exceptionally beautiful, even to him.
But the thing that caught his eyes was the long tail behind him with a blade as its tip.
The first real Demon Michael have ever seen.
"Who are you?"
"You are too weak to know that." The stranger said flatly, his eyes fixed on Michael\'s ghostly form.
The energy around the stranger made Michael acknowledge him as the strongest entity he had ever seen.
"Don\'t worry, Michael. We\'ll see again, but I won\'t be the one talking to you but the stronger version of myself."
Michael stared at the Demon in front of him with apprehension, wondering how this stranger knew his name. He asked cautiously:
"What do you mean by we\'ll see again? And what stronger version?"
\'This guy is already freakishly powerful, is there really a stronger version?\'
"Enter your world\'s power stage known as Sovereign Rank, then you\'ll get your answers. Now... To why, I summoned you here." The Demon opened his palm. Moment next; the starlight sword appeared, hovering on it.
"I don\'t know how you successfully destroyed the first seal I placed on my sword, can you tell me how you did it?"
"I\'m just lucky." Michael shrugged.
The Demon scoffed. "Never rely on luck, Michael. You saw an opportunity, and you took it, you were given a choice and you chose the right one. It\'s not Luck, but yourself."
Michael just nodded and floated towards the Demon. "Your sword? Are you the Demon Lord?"
"Yes."
"You said you place a seal on it, but you look nothing like the Demon Lord I saw in the pictures placed in the temple."
"That is not me, but the future king in your world." The Demon Lord answered him again.
"OK." Even though he didn\'t understand anything, he kept on asking:
"An Angel gave it to me."
"Angel?" The Demon Lord\'s red eyes glowed in rage.
"Don\'t you like Angels?" Michael asked in mild confusion.
"We are archenemies. But, are you sure the creature you saw is an angel?"
"She looks like one."
"Ok, can we go back to the subject?" The Demon Lord fixed his red eyes on Michael.
"Please continue."
"I placed another Seal in my sword. To unlock it, you need the approval of my other half and also my blood."
"Second seal?" Michael frowned slightly.
"Yes, I placed 70% of my powers in these two seals, by unlocking the first seal; you\'ll gain 20% of my powers. Unlock the second seal and gain the remaining 50%."
"20% of your powers?" Michael was stunned.
"Yes, you can only unlock the second seal if you reach the sovereign rank. Without that, don\'t even think about trying it, or you\'ll die."
Michael nodded and asked. "What is this place?"
The Demon Lord moved the starlight sword towards him, which he caught.
"This is my world. My sword Is now yours, use it wisely."
Michael nodded and asked. "You said I\'ll need your blood and approval, that means we\'ll see again. How can I find you?"
"When you are ready, go to the beginning. Go now, you have been here for three months now."
Michael\'s eyes widened in shock. "Three Months?! But it has only been three minutes!!"
The Demon Lord stared at him in wonders. "Go--"
"--wait!" He stopped him. "What are its skills?" He gestured at the sword.
"The starlight sword has many skills, discover them yourself. If we see again, narrate all these to my other half, don\'t even think about lying, or you won\'t know how you die. No matter the rank you\'re in." He paused and added:
"Speak only the truth."
Michael stared at him in reproach. "I don\'t think I like that idea."
"Heed my warning and you\'ll survive." He waved his hand.
Michael looked at his body which was slowly disintegrating into tiny particles. "At least I should know your name, it\'ll help in the future!" He yelled, only his head remaining.
"Darren."
That was the last word he heard before turning into particles, disappearing from the dark space.
