Death Awoken: A GameLit Series (Death God System - Book #1)

by Kajack

  “Thank you, Master!” Shu Er was excited, his voice reached Shu Yi, and she hurried to thank her Master.

  ◆◆◆

  It's been three months traveling already. It was a total pain in the ass; I killed many beasts yet it wasn't enough to level up, not to mention that many beasts once detecting me, ran as fast as they could. Many of them couldn't outrun me but if I had to chase them or pay any attention to them I would never reach the Imperial City. The twins had something in mind but it seems they didn't want to trouble me with it.

  “Master!” The shout surprised me. I remembered and was thinking something about the System when they interrupted me. I unleashed my aura to get ready for a fight.

  “What happened?” I said with a rushed voice.

  Shu Yi and Shu Er couldn't stand the aura that was being emitted from me, they paled, they felt wronged.

  “Answer!” I said while retracting my aura, I overreacted. I need to be more careful with the surrounding people, I could have hurt them.

  “Master!” both kneeled on the floor.

  What's happening now? Is there a need to be so formal?

  Both girls looked to each other and nodded. “We want spirit stones to cultivate. You are already too strong and we aren't helpful at all. We can't improve as fast as you... we want to be useful, please don't discard us,” said both of them.

  So this is what was happening, no wonder I felt something was wrong with both of them. This past month we have been close towards each other, even at some points they were trying to get inside my pants. I did not move in on them, not because my little brother was not working after the cave incident, while growing up my little brother kept working perfectly. It is just that I didn't feel like it; I didn't want their first time to be in a forest and also I wasn't in the mood. The so little XP the beasts were giving me was pissing me off everyday, so I wasn’t in the mood for pleasure.

  “You are mine, whether you want it or not. I would never ditch you. If you wanted spirit stones, you could have said so. How many do you need to break through?”

  Both girls cried, they were releasing all of their feelings from these months.

  “5,000 stones will be enough for both of us to break through to the 5th rank.”

  For now, I had no use for spirit stones, so I threw almost all the stones I had on me to them. I only kept 1,000 spirit stones.

  “With all of these what kind of realm will you be able to achieve?”

  “8th rank at best, and it will take some months since we can't even get even close to enough XP to rank up to cultivate.” So many spirit stones... there were almost 25,000. They had never seen so many spirit stones. Their master was becoming more and more mysterious to both of them. What exactly happened inside that cave? They didn't want to cause trouble to him so they never asked about it.

  I smiled at both of them, I enjoyed the feeling of amazing these two women.

  During this month nothing extraordinary happened besides killing beasts. Both Shu Yi and Shu Er broke through to the 5th rank, they didn't have much time to cultivate but we couldn't afford to waste time. There was still a long way to reach. Based on our pace and the System’s calculations we would reach it before the sect trials start. Around two months before schedule.

  Killed 10x King Beast, 2nd rank. +4,500 XP.

  Killed 1x Wild Beast, 6th rank. +150 XP.

  Death points + 11.

  Death core + 10.

  Huh?! What happened? There is one Death Core point missing. This has never happened before. I found beasts and killed them, only a King Beast now gave me Death Core points, it seems improving my realm made me stop earning Death Core points from lower realms than myself. This was a stupid rule, even when I killed realms above my own it only gave me one point. I wouldn't want to meet an Earth Beast to test this statement. Earth Beast was something only Core Foundation and above cultivators fought. I'm stronger than before but I can't expect to face a direct confrontation with an Earth Beast, perhaps a 1st rank I could win against it but the other ranks... That was one of the reasons why I didn't go on a crazy killing spree on my path to the Imperial City. I didn't want to provoke an Earth Beast.

  I looked at Shu Yi and Shu Er, they were absorbing the energy from inside the low spirit stones. Ah, how nice it would be if I could do the same, the Qi I used came from the Death Core so unless I trade it with XP points...

  Low spirit stone conversion rate is: one spirit stone equals to one hundred XP points.

  Not again! Fuck you System! I gave them all of my spirit stones! That was enough to make me earn 2 and half million XP points!

  Host didn't ask about it.

  Chapter 54

  Complicated situation

  After that happened with the System, I could only see Shu Yi and Shu Er eating my experience points away. Honestly, this was the worst pain I could feel. As a man with a System, nothing was more precious than experience points. I could be as lazy as I wanted with billions of it... what level I could reach! But what kind of a man would I be if I took the spirit stones back from them...

  I interrogated the System with a lot of questions, yet nothing was concrete. One thing I found out about it is that sometimes its reply is like an AI, and sometimes it is more like a youngster. Perhaps the v1.0 of the System is not very good...

  Still, there is nothing yet on how to upgrade it. It was the first time it upgraded after some years, yet now I'm over ten years old and nothing. There is also the quests, it didn't give me a single one. I thought the System may be broken, if this was some kind of game, or something like being in a forest. At least… I thought the quest ‘Kill 100 Wolves’ or something like that would pop up. Yet, nothing!

  Today my lovely twins broke through to the 6th rank. It seemed that it would be an interesting day. The same moment both broke through, I could feel a subtle fluctuation in my being. I was very sensitive to death, so I picked the right direction fast enough.

  I smirked, both women looked at me curiously.

  “Today someone will die, maybe more than one,” I said chuckling.

  I confused Shu Yi, and Shu Er and remained silent. Being together for a few months they already knew that too many abnormal things happened around me.

  We rushed into the direction I was sensing death from...

  ◆◆◆

  “Damn you Su Clan!” Yelled Yan Xiang.

  Yan Xiang’s one year inside the forest made him mature a lot, he was no longer that eleven-year-old kid. He fought and survived many fights alone. More than a hundred times he thought he would die yet he didn't, he struggled, many would have already given up. During this year he trained himself, he was just one step away from becoming a Qi Refining Cultivator. Yan Xiang was almost naked in some parts, his butt could be seen, half of his hair was missing from his head, wounds covered him all over his body. Something was burning inside his eyes, this was something few people could archive, an Undying Will, it allowed disregarding the state of the user's body and enabled them to keep fighting. Legends said someone with an Undying Will could be alive even if his heart was not beating or his body was destroyed.

  Three months ago the Su Clan Elders spotted him. For three months they hunted him down. In the process, even though he escaped, he received a lot of wounds. He became strong, yet there were too many cultivators against him. If he could break through to the Qi Refining stage perhaps he could defeat them. One week ago he awakened his Undying Will, it's not that they didn't want to die it was that his will to kill and annihilate them was much stronger than theirs. The Su Clan mobilized all their clan to hunt Yan Xiang and protect their Young Miss.

  “Stop struggling Yan Xiang. Today you will die.” Several middle-aged men were surrounding him, they were about to attack when the young voice interrupted them.

  “Wait!” A young girl appeared beside one young man.

  The young man was clothed in white, the expression on his face showed just how arrogant he was. The young girl was the Young Miss from the Su C
lan. She was walking too close to the young man, she did it on purpose to show how intimate they were.

  “You bitch! You planned all of this, you sold yourself to an Outer Disciple from the Light Sect.” Yan Xiang was burning with rage. What a bitch… and to think he almost ended up being married to her.

  “Who are you calling a bitch! You don't understand, how mighty and amazing Senior Brother Wu is. He entered the Light Sect five years ago, he was only ten years old! He ended up in the second position, many sects fought to recruit him. Now look at him, fifteen years old and a Qi Refining 3rd rank already. Do you think you can compare with him? You are not worthy to even wear his shoes.” The young miss of the Su Clan described her Senior Brother Wu as an existence close to a God, she was so proud that her nonexistent bosom almost popped out of her dress.

  “So what! I scare you… and your Su Clan fear me. Otherwise, why would you hunt me down with so much passion,” Yan Xiang laughed like a maniac, he was ready to fight at any moment, his Undying Will was burning.

  The Su Clan young miss wanted to talk but was held back by her Senior Brother Wu.

  “Do you really think that will change your fate? The moment you go inside the sect trials there will be more people who will hunt you down. With a wave of my hand, hundreds of attendants would be more than happy to kill you.”

  Yan Xiang was gritting his teeth, he needed a way out, even with his Undying Will, without the man power to fight back he was in an impossible situation to win.

  “Face reality already! It's better for you to die now. You offended my darling and will pay with your life.”

  “Master, do we need to do something? Shouldn't we help one side? That young boy looks like he’s in for some trouble.”

  The scene became very awkward. At that moment, all of them turned around to find a black-clothed boy sitting in a chair. Next to him, there were two beauties, they were wearing sexy black clothes that made their curves a wonderful sight. The clothes exposed parts of their bodies, making them more alluring. One beauty was massaging the boy’s legs while the other was feeding him an apple. It stunned the Su Clan, what the hell was going on? When did that boy appear and these beauties... this was so confusing...

  “Shu Er, look what you've done. You broke the mood, now it has become awkward.” I scolded her, spanking Shu Er’s ass, she moaned a little.

  Some of them wanted to cough up blood... You think the mood is awkward because of the girl? You think what you are doing is normal?

  A perverted old man couldn't help himself against Shu Er’s sweet voice when she moaned. “Fuck you boy. Get the hell out of here and leave these two women here.”

  The old man's voice wasn't that loud, but it was enough for them to hear it, as cultivators they had their senses enhanced. When the old man uttered those words, everyone felt something, a change in the air. Something was very wrong.

  Chapter 55

  Bullying

  Pffft…! Shu Yi and Shu Er couldn't hold in their laughter. The old man's face was as red as a tomato. Should I crack a joke? Their master had crushed many Qi Refining stage cultivators and thousands of King Beasts. He was a king among kings! A Trivial Mortal Realm peak dared to threaten their master, they couldn't hold it in and laughed some more...

  I knew why Shu Yi and Shu Er were laughing; actually I found this old man amusing, he just looked at both women and he was already yelling and ready to kill. He didn't even notice both women were above his cultivation by six entire layers, not to mention the difference between wielding Qi and not wielding Qi.

  “Oh no! You are so strong... I'm so afraid...” I couldn't help it, I wasn't good at acting, before I could finish what I wanted to say I was already laughing.

  “Y-y-you... what are you laughing for! Do you think that I can not teach you a lesson?”

  Senior Brother Wu narrowed his eyes. He could not detect the cultivation of this young boy in front of him, either his cultivation was way above his or he had concealed it with a high-grade art. He discarded his thoughts, on the boy it wasn't possible. Shit! The boy wasn't the problem, both women should be around twenty years old yet they were Qi Refining 6th ranks. Based on his understanding both women's talents were a little below his, still they were above average, seeing their cultivation level, he thought that they must be inner disciples of some sect. This kind of figure was something he couldn't afford to offend.

  I could see Senior Brother Wu deep in thought. I could more or less understand what was going on in his mind. He must have seen Shu Yi and Shu Er’s cultivations. Haha, let's see how this develops.

  A few minutes later both twins laughing stopped. Seriously, both of these women really enjoy themselves. I was expecting Senior Brother Wu to make his move.

  Boom!

  A wave of Qi hit the old man and he fell to the floor bleeding in a kneeling position. His face showed confusion all around him, What happened?

  Senior Brother Wu coughed. “Sorry about that, this man really lacked manners. He didn't know how to take care of women, this is something in my presence I won't tolerate. I will introduce myself, outer disciple from the Light Sect, Wu Ling.”

  “Shu Yi,”

  “Shu Er.”

  Oh! I got totally ignored here, both twins didn't mention me at all. It seems both women had something planned. I could see Senior Brother Wu frowning again, this time he was the one that was confusing me. I couldn't help myself but look at Yan Xiang, it was obvious he was trying to escape. The Su Clan had surrounded him and he couldn't escape at all.

  “Excuse me, seniors, what sect may you be from?” Senior Brother Wu insisted, usually people would announce to which sect they belonged. That meant that you had a backer behind you, so why would you remain silent and not use it? It was crucial during confrontation. Senior Brother Wu was still in a confused state about these two girls. Number One and Number Two? What kind of names do they have...

  Quest #4: Save, protect and kill Yan Xiang. Rewards: Undying Will.

  This was getting interesting what a weird quest. When am I supposed to kill him?

  The moment Yan Xiang completes his Undying Will, you can kill him and absorb his Undying will.

  I thought you couldn’t have known... how can you know about the Undying Will of his?

  Undying Will knowledge was absorbed by a random book before.

  Why does this sound like an excuse?...

  I walked to Yan Xiang, people were confused about me but since I came with both women, whom Senior Brother Wu has just given face to, they didn't dare to stop me.

  “Yan Xiang, why are you so persistent in not being killed? What's your motive? Do you fear death?” I wanted to understand this young boy in front of me.

  “The Su Clan will not be the one to kill me. I will annihilate them.” I could see his blood boiling with rage. His Undying Will in his eyes becoming stronger.

  So that's what the System meant.

  “What are you going to do if I tell you that everything started because of me? The war between the Su Clan and the Yan clan,” I said while smiling at him.

  “Huh? Who are you?” Yan Xiang’s mind was completely confused. Who is this kid?

  “You don't remember me? The Cursed Kid?”

  “Impossible! You were only a seven-year-old kid.”

  It dumbfounded the Su Clan. They knew who the Cursed Kid was, there were many rumors in town, some people said when the cursed kid appeared in front of you, you would die... They got very afraid now. Two powerful women appeared out of nowhere and it was clear Senior Brother Wu was inferior to them. Many people have died in the city around the Cursed Kid and now he claimed he was the reason for that war... Everyone feared the aura of death that surrounded him.

  Yan Xiang stood there dumbfounded. Sigh, I walked over to the old man; he was trembling, Senior Brother Wu Qi suppressed him. I used Death Soul Seal on him.

  “Go in front of Yan Xiang,” I commanded.

  The old man moved in front of Yan Xiang... it petrified
the Su Clan. What was going on?

  “Cut your hand.”

  “Cut your arm.”

  “Cut your leg.”

  I made the old man mutilate himself in front of Yan Xiang, I could feel his Undying Will getting stronger. This is good, it seems he's resolute enough.

  “This is true power KID!” I unleashed several arrowheads infused with my Qi, my purpose wasn't a quick kill... Once the arrowheads entered their bodies, the Qi inside of them exploded. Their bodies inflated like a balloon then popped.

  Booooom!

  All of the other bodies exploded, creating a rain of blood, the flesh was falling everywhere around them. Only the Su Clan Miss, Yan Xiang, and Senior Brother remained alive besides Shu Yi and Shu Er. Senior Brother Wu didn't hesitate and grabbed the Su Clan Miss and ran as fast as he could. I didn't prevent it. I needed someone to keep adding pressure to him. If all his enemies were dead, there was no possible growth for his Undying Will.

  “If you are only at this level, you are not even worth killing,” I said walking inside the forest laughing, Shu Yi and Shu Er followed me.

  “Protect Yan Xiang from the shadows, make sure he doesn't die. I need something from him. Don't forget to grow stronger in these months.”

  The twins confusion washed away, usually, their master killed everyone at the scene unless the people were related to him. So it was not that he became a softie—he had a plan all along.

  “As you command master,” Shu Yi and Shu Er disappeared in the darkness of the forest.

  Chapter 56

  Again

  Shu Yi and Shu Er told me through their soul seal that Yan Xiang was doing well. Yan Xiang completing Undying Will will be a good thing for me. Through the System’s explanation, even though I can already disregard my body since it's a corpse, the Undying Will will aid me with the stress and struggles on my mind during a difficult combat. Allowing me to last longer and retain my peak strength. Yan Xiang broke through to the Qi Refining stage, I wasn't afraid. I could match a Core Foundation stage 1st rank, it's not as if he will be stronger than me, even if years passed, unless he finds some kind of miracle.
