The letter

Elise's P.O.V.

I had quite some fun from that, but it quickly got boring. After a few rounds of successive torture, he finally broke down and stopped reacting even if we patched him up. I have to say that his negative emotions were rather delicious. After he completely broke down I just killed him off and sealed his soul into my halberd. It's better not to let his soul return to the divine domain of his god.

He really impressed me, losing himself into hatred and murdering mages when he was younger, then waking up and start doing good later on. He could have lived a life of greatness if he did not come here, what a shame... Would Dan be mad at me for tormenting him? Ah, I guess probably not, he is probably not someone who cares about such minor problems.

I wonder when Dan's going to pick me up, I am tired I want to sleep... Using my power really tires me out, especially forcefully controlling somebody's mind against themselves. Such techniques require great precision and concentration, also, I hate to think I rather just smash everything next time.

A portal opened up in the empty plains and the girl vanished, leaving behind a badly mutilated corpse together with a pool of blood.

Dan's P.O.V.

I had watched what Elise did on the poor man... She really is good at controlling her new powers, especially at such precision, even managing to take over a person's mind. Truly a combat genius. but if only her personality was more stable... Well, its difficult to control chaos after all, even if she betrays me in the future I could just flip the kill switch.

[Host... just what did you pick up?]-System

[Something fun...]-Dan replied without batting an eye.

Since she's done with her first job I will have to pick her up, [Elemental Gate] A 6 coloured portal opened and Elise stepped out of it. She looked mentally drained from the earlier encounter. Her body swayed left and right as she walked towards me.

"You can sleep over there, good work! Try not to have too much fun with your target next time." I reminded her casually while my hands were busy making preparations. She simply hopped onto the big white and soft bed with her giant halberd and fell asleep shortly, like a lazy cat taking an afternoon nap.

Goddammit... I am the boss here and my employee is sleeping while I am working... if only she could make formations too. Dan thought as he was fatigue from the preparation. I still have so much stuff to do... And furthermore, the stuff he prepared may not even be enough if something goes wrong. So much work and information to consolidate... I will have to rebuild my body soon, it won't be able to last another rapid powerup and its adaptation capabilities are too slow. One month for it to fully adapt? Might as well build a new one...

Looks like Allysium is having trouble with managing the city, Dan stared outside the tower looking at the state of Entropy. Seems like all the problems from the previous mismanagement cannot be held back any longer. How will she deal with this?

Emma's P.O.V.

The laughter of the children, sounds of birds chirping and the warm air. I noticed them when I woke up. I had a strange dream about making a deal with a true god. To make sure that it was not a dream, I checked my mana level and I was in for a huge surprise. I am currently at tier 7, much higher than what I was previously at. Looks like that was truly not a dream, the symbols and statues were all brand new, even glittering. As I walked out of the orphanage, I saw the golden rooftop.

We might get robbed, won't we... I was admiring the statue of my new lord which stood outside of the orphanage building when a bunch of cheerful voices called out to me.

"Sister Emma! You are awake!!" They called out my name in high spirits.

"Don't worry anymore alright... Yesterday, a kind lord accepted us and gave us his blessings." She vaguely explained the situation to the children.

"We know, we saw him. He was very generous and amazing." The children too also explained their side of the story.

All those who belonged to this orphanage were beyond just excited from this change. They had already accepted this change, all except for Sam who was still asleep. Together, they made a tour around the orphanage to appreciate their brilliant new home. After this short tour, they prayed to the statue at the entrance of the orphanage.

At the entrance, a bulky and muscular man stood there. It was the same debt collector that came previously who unreasonably demanded 10 gold coins. He stood at the entrance with widened eyes, they opened so widely that they had almost popped out of his eye sockets. The orphanage was revamped nicely with a gold rooftop it was in ruins just yesterday... who is backing them? Which idiot would see value in this shitty place? How am I going to explain to my superiors? Not good. He thought and so he flees from the orphanage scheming and coming up with another grand plan.

After he had reported the news to Count Barry, he was scolded terribly. Count Barry slammed his teacup onto the floor, the glasses shattered into pieces, but did not put a single scratch on the man.

"I do not care what you do but you better make sure you succeed or you and your gang won't leave alive," Barry said in a hoarse voice, shooing the debt collector out of the main building and continuing his pleasure activities.

"Boss Killian, we did what you told us to do" A masked man spoke to Killian, the debt collector after he left the mansion.

"Good, proceed with caution!" He warned his buddy and walked away. He felt angry in his heart, I do not care which noble you are and what stupid symbol that is, but if you get in the way of me and my gang members I will purge you. Unfortunately, he is about to regret his decision in the near future.

Back to princess Allysium's P.O.V.

Ever since that high-tier magician left, the people in the princess castle had started to lose hope. I received a letter from him. He expressed his gratitude to my hospitality the letter and warned me about the approaching dangers. It went like this...

Dear Princess of Dusk, Allysium,

It has been a pleasure to meet you. I will not be around as I will be dealing with world-changing events in the Holy Kingdom which may affect the fate of our world.

While, I do understand that you are grieving over the death of your father, Armaguous III Vers Ellusia, please be reminded that the Kingdom of Dusk is in need of a strong leader. This is not the time to be upset over your loss, instead, you should be worrying about your current position. Only a person with strong decisive and leadership capabilities will become a good leader so you must not be fazed if you uncover all of your father's actions be it good or bad.

I understand that your intention of relying on my abilities is a last act of desperation. However, this is not a battle that I am willing to fight. Instead, I promise to grant you my protection if you successfully become the Queen of Dusk and rule over the Kingdom of Dusk, I will make your kingdom the most powerful kingdom in the world. If you rely too much on me now, you would not be able to grow and become a suitable ruler. Since you are lacking quite a lot compared to your brothers, I will grant you an Angel of Observation. There are rules that must be followed if you choose to use the angel.

Only you and Britinia are allowed to be aware of the existence of this angel, if anyone else finds out your secret, do not blame me for being merciless. Not even your royal adviser must know of this secret. I will not interfere with your battle, so if you lose this battle, be prepared to face the consequences of your actions even if it means a fate worse than death.

Lastly, beware... beware of the wolves in sheep's clothing, beware of the dangers hidden in plain sight and beware of the true monsters in the kingdom. Be reminded to utilised all available resources efficiently and show no mercy or remorse to your enemies. Do not sympathise too much with the commoners or you will face the true monstrosity of humanity itself. I strongly advise you to BE RUTHLESS BE MERCILESS BE DECISIVE.

The only way for you to survive is to become queen, so do not bother running away from this battle.

I hope that you would still be alive after the civil war!!

Yours Sincerely with the best regards,

Dan, the Lord of Chaos and Order

*Tiny notes* *If you truly want to save the innocents, you must become queen, otherwise they will all die*

Not much going on here, but after the hero summoning chapter, I will be focusing on Entropy's side of the story where they fight for power. Demi-god of Dusk is now pulling strings in the dark. So tonnes of issues for Allysium to solve and so there won't be any scene of Dan for quite a while.

Too bad for her, if the person who had appeared was a hero she wouldn't have to work so hard.

I will be taking a step by step approach after the hero summoning chapter.
