Karma

Sora sat in a meeting room, looking at the beautiful black-haired woman sitting opposite him. She had beautiful blue eyes, which were like jewels, just looking at them draw a person towards them, and made it seemly impossible for them to draw their eyes away from them.

"Sigh... Emilia, what do you want? first, you poison me, and now you came to talk to me like nothing happened." Sora said softly while drinking some tea from a cup.

"What makes you think I poisoned you?" She asked with a smile, to which Sora looked blankly at her, out of all of his siblings. there was one he feared... well, used to fear, and it was this one. she was a snake who would show no hints that she would attack.

"out of everyone I know, you're the only one who would remove anything she is unsure of, or might cause future trouble for you. you used me and took everything I could offer, and now he had a perfect chance to remove me. Who knows if I would start doing something in secret or something." Sora said with a shake of his head, making Emilia laugh slightly.

"little brother, you have such a wild imagination, why would I do such a thing?" She said with a soft laugh, but Sora simply ignored her and waited for her to explain why she was there.

"... why do you want the throne?" She asked softly, Sora shrugged slightly at her words, why wouldn't he?

"Why do you care? are you trying to make me change and support you or something?" Sora asked with a smile, making Emilia nod slightly.

"You're talented, become my blade. I can reward you... you know." She said with a slight wink, making Sora turn to look at the slave standing behind her. Sora couldn't help but swallow his saliva slightly, but in the end, he shook his head.

"Let's instead ask you to support me. I will forget you almost killed me, and how you tricked me years ago. become my brain," Sora said calmly, stunning Emilia slightly, she was sure Sora would jump at the chance for this slave to give him that pleasurable feeling once more

"I will give you a short run down as to why I would win. in the short few months, I was here, I managed to have everyone within this city completely loyal to me. all united to improve this city. I removed most spies you sent into this city, and have instead placed some among you and the others. in total, I see myself clearing the dungeon in at most 1 year, at that point, this city would experience another explosive growth, followed by another and another." Sora said calmly, while Emilia just remained quiet.

"Lastly, I will start to destroy you and the other cities, it could be the maids around you, the clan leaders, or whatever. but let's face it, with the support I have.. it would not be long until your support turns towards me. let's not forget that you are a woman, it was hard enough to reach where you stand now. as you start shaking, and your footing grows weaker, you would be suffering." Sora said calmly, making Emilia slowly frown.

"You see my worth and you see I have changed. you're scared, and you don't want to have someone else to deal with. you would try your best to push me down, you would try your best to hold onto the power you have worked so hard to hold onto... but it will slowly slip away. you might end up taking your own life, or be like your mother and be sold off to build some relationship," Sora said making Emilia's eyes slowly turn colder.

"you fight so hard to take control of your fate. you are willing to do just about anything if it means surviving. but no matter want, you can never have absolute control of your fate. you take great pleasure in knowing other's fates are in your control, the feeling of being in control is amazing. wouldn't it be funny for a high and mighty princess to be sold as a slave?" Sora asked with a smile, making Emilia smile slightly.

"What are you doing?" She asked softly, this is not the Sora she knew... Sora was coping with her. his way of speech, slowly breaking down a person, taking so lightly about their wishes and dreams, and flipping it around against him. that was her thing

"I'm learning from the scariest person I know. unlike my other siblings, I never paid attention in classes. all I have to my name is talent, but for now, I can try and learn." Sora said with a shrug, making Emilia quiet for some time

"What makes you so sure that you have everything in the bag?" She asked softly, she wanted to know Sora's trump card, although it was most likely Sora would say a thing. Sora smiled slightly at her words before he placed 3 items on the table.

they were devices used to measure a person's strength. Sora went on to push a button of the first device which measures Qi cultivation system strength. slowly information about his cultivation appeared floating in the air.

"Level 5 Energy Condensation, but with the strength of 390?" Emilia was shocked seeing this, she never heard of anyone this overpowered. level 5 Energy Condensation normally had a strength measurement of 135, this was a new record. this alone made her realize why Sora was so sure that he could win, just one more breakthrough and he would be able to go head-to-head with the dungeon boss

But Sora didn't stop there and went on to measure the rest of his cultivation, and they were all the same, leaving not just Emilia stunned, but everyone within the room stunned. Sora was the strongest person in the room, that was the only thought that followed through their head.

"... Haha." Emilia suddenly began laughing, a strange laugh filled with her frustration, annoyance, and helplessness. from birth, she worked her butt off. Her mother was nothing more than a tool who had no control over when she could even speak, she didn't want to be anything like that. so she did everything in her power to try and take the throne, be it cunning, cruel, and gentle, she was willing to do anything if it meant she was free.

but how the fuck was she to stand against this freak? 19 years old, and he had such high cultivation even with him spending 18 years avoiding anything to do with cultivation. She worked her butt off, going years without sleep, yet he pops up and so easily handle everything. who would so easily accept this?

Was she going to submit? was she foolish enough to do anything else? the only thing she could do over such overwhelming talent submit, she should have used stronger poison, but she was looking down upon the prince a bit too much. this was her deepest regret... and to think she was so close to taking the throne.

"what do you want from me?" She asked blankly if Sora can make such growth within a short amount of time, and still somehow manage to take control over the whole city, it was clear his talent was something she didn't dare to dream of.

"Support me for the throne, I'm willing to make an oath to not backstab you or forcefully make you do something you don't want to. at the end of the day, your fate would be in your hands, you just can't do anything that would hinder me from taking the throne." Sora said calmly, stunning Emilia slightly.

"you don't want your mother's stuff?" She asked softly, after Sora's mother's death', Sora got everything that was once hers. but a good blow job leads to Sora giving Emilia everything, the slave behind her was the woman without the gag reflex who gave Sora his first BJ. good times, Sora could still remember how she almost sucked the soul right out of him.

"they are yours... a deal was a deal," Sora said calmly as he went on to bite himself, and using QI, he stop the wound from healing. he went on to draw a circle on the table, but he only drew half. Emilia few the other half, and once it was done, the circle glowed slightly, only to disappear and appear on each other their palms.

"Then I will be returning... do you by chance still have that maid who almost poisoned you?" She asked softly, Sora shrugged slightly as he didn't know. in truth, he never bothered to look at the maid knowing that she almost killed him, he simply threw the whole matter to the back of his head.

Sora guessed he might be crazy, he so easily accepted everything around him. he even calmly stood before the one behind everything and didn't care much. but then again, did it matter? as time ticked on, what was the point of living in the past? Sora felt like he had a mission, someone huge he had to do, and that feeling was the only thing he felt truly mattered.

Sora went on to see Emilia out, and see his other siblings, meanwhile, on a huge sun size planet thousands of light years away, within a floating castle, a woman was sitting in a glass box, with closed eyes. the room was completely white, and she had on all right clothing, with clothing which sealed away any hope of her moving or even hurting herself.

she slowly opened them and outside her glass box, a middle-aged man entered. the man looked at her with a mocking smile, making her frown slightly. this woman was of course Sora's mother.

"you should have killed the child, its aura has been picked up. I will personally be going to see the person you cheated on me with." the man said with a smile, but his eyes were not smiling, seeing Sora's mother's reason for shock, he got pissed.

"I had lost my memories, they have nothing to do with this. aim your rage towards me." She said softly, to which he only coldly laughed at her.

"we will be leaving next week, by how far away the aura is... we should be arriving in a few months or so, so get ready." He said with a cold smile before turning around and walking away, leaving her sitting with a blank look. how could she have brought herself to kill the child she just birthed? it already killed her inside knowing she crippled her son, giving him a fate worse than death, but she was sure Sora's father would give him a life worth living,

Living a normal life was okay, there was nothing wrong with it. So it would suck, so you would be mocked, but you would be spoiled like hell.

now, whose side should she be on? her child and the child's father, or her real husband and family. this was a choice without right or wrong, and it's not like she had much power to change the outcome. in the end, it was up to her husband, and she had no idea what he would do. would he destroy the whole star system in his rage, or what. she tried her best, to hide them, and even went as far as to send her husband to run after her all over the galaxy. in the end, she could only buy a few years for her son to grow.

to them, it would be a few months until they arrive, but it would be a few years for Sora before they arrive. as one reaches the speed of light, time gets messy. the more one near the speed of light, time around them, would freeze.

because of this, they would age faster, while the world around them remained still. but it's not still. the whole universe just doesn't freeze. If you travel at the speed of light and move one light-year away, you would find that time had still been moving forward, it's just that to you it had slowed down.

time doesn't truly stop at the speed of light, it simply seems like it. if you travel at the speed of light, and start counting while heading somewhere. to you a few seconds or so could have passed, but to others, months or years would have passed.

then again, reaching the speed of light was something that was harder said than done, those experts who could reach such speed, to them they don't just instantly appear anywhere. time still needs to pass for them, but at the same time, they age faster.

the faster you do, the quicker you start to each. so experts don't just go around traveling at such speed. interest, they use spaceships or something for long-distance travel, but while fighting, they could move however fast they want, as fights don't normally take long to finish,

Just think as going faster equals moving faster through time. while in a spaceship, you would not age while going to the future but the outside world around you would age. The faster you go, the further into the future you would go, while the world around you simply flows normally.

there is a theory that there is a speed one can hit that would make the whole universe freeze, a speed at which time doesn't exist. It's called Timeless Speed, and it is said if one could somehow go beyond that, one could use speed alone to travel backward in time.

Back to Sora, after meeting with all of his siblings, he managed to scare a few of the young ones to support him, or at least act as if they would support him. All of them saw the danger Sora had, so some were willing to take the safe route, while others like the first prince and second prince began scheming in the dark against him.

Of course, Sora was not in the mode to deal with them. he simply wrote their name into the death book, making them slowly become loyal to him. as for his other siblings, he wrote their names down as well, just to be sure. he of course had them act like they were going against him, he didn't want people to think he was doing something evil.

a few weeks passed, and Sora was in his office writing a few names down into the death book, he reached out to grab a cup of water, only for him to knock the water down and for it sends the water falling onto his pants.

Stunned, Sora quickly got up, just as the door opened to his office, Yalan along with a few news reports was about to enter, only to freeze seeing Sora standing there with his pants wet, seemly as if he wet himself.

"talk about perfect time... come in," Sora said with a shake of his head, picking up the cup which fell over, he secretly put the death book away while moving to clean up the water. the news report entered, only to see Sora remove his pants, making them all speechless.

"So, go ahead and ask the question," Sora said calmly as he put on new clothing, not bothered at all by their looks. he had shorts on under his pants, but they could still see the outline of a dragon below it all.

"..." the female reports blushing slightly, while the males snorted slightly. what a shameless prince, if they didn't spread the news of him wetting himself, they would not be able to rest to ight.

So, they went on to ask questions while Sora truthfully answered them all, but the answers quickly turned into his sex life, and what stuff he would like to enjoy. this caused Teacher Mo to quickly end this as Sora was simply telling the truth.

"Prince, you shouldn't be telling people such stuff." Teacher Mo said helplessly, to which Sora just laugh slightly

"the people love me... they like something new, and something unique. and I'm that, plus, I have nothing to hide from my people. they want the trust, I will give to them." Sora said with a smile, to which teacher Mo could only sigh as Sora was right. he sighed softly, before leaving Sora alone, Sora watched him leave for a moment before his smile disappeared.

'System, what is with my bad luck lately?' Sora asked with a deep frown, was he cursed? all the games he have been playing to kill time, he had been coming out with bad luck. but he ignored them all, but today he spilled water upon himself, just as people came in.

{host, the more you use the death book, the more bad karma you collect. the system wishes the host to be careful with the Death book and do some good to counter the bad karma. the best way to collect good karma is helping others.} the system said making Sora speechless, since when was he helping other types?

He was the type to watch someone get their ass beat and simply walk away as if it was none of his business. He was the type to watch someone about to take their own life, and only try and speak to them if he felt like it. he was no saint, maybe he could be one if he was in the mood, but that was rare.

{host you are already collecting good karma, the bad karma would have kicked in, but you managed to use the death book for good. although you didn't know you were doing it for good, you forced the clan leaders to help improve the city, which brought out more good karma than bad karma. but you have been writing too many names lately,} the system said making Sora helpless, how could he not write down as many names as he wants with his current strength?

he thought there was no drawback, but now he had to be careful and think of how good and back of an impact his actions would have.

'Another reason to rule things, with everything under my rule, I can control the flow of karma...' Sora thought with a smile,
