7 Future Plans!
Damon finished his phone call and looked towards the Palace in which he and his mother lived in, although his mother barely spent her time here as she never needed sleep due to her strength and had an extensive amount of work to complete.
The Palace, amply named the Palace of the Crimson Witch of Destruction, which was Sapphire's nickname, due to her immense power and colourful crimson flames which danced in the battlefield as she burned her enemies to ashes.
The Palace was massive and magnificent, with a perfect combination of Magic Technology and elegance. The palace was surrounded by long lush trees and a bed of beautiful flowers that made the area beautiful and picturesque.
Surrounding the Palace was a wall made of Mythril, the hardest,strongest and most durable material in existence and also a spirit defensive formation. Inside the wall, four blue mana towers surrounded the castle. The Mana Towers both drew in mana from the surroundings and purified the mana, making cultivation more effective.
The Palace itself was incredibly elegant, with a beautiful gold and red colour scheme, and had multiple rooms for various uses.
Damon entered the Palace and quickly walked around, looking for his mother. But after a while, he was finally interrupted as he met a familiar face.
"Good evening, Young Master Damon. Congratulations on your successful awakening!" A young man entered the room Damon was in, his movements were graceful and elegant, which proved a certain level of training and respect the man held towards Damon.
The young man bowed and greeted Damon, before standing back up straight. The young man, in fact, was not even a Demon, but an Elf.
The young man had smooth white skin but it did not look sickly. He had a graceful, thin frame with green hair styled in a sophisticated and professional manner and he also had green eyes with pointed ears. His face was very attractive and he was currently wearing a black suit with the Grand Marshall's sigil, signifying he was a butler of Sapphire's household.
After seeing him, Damon started thinking about him.
'Killian My personal butler.'
Ever since Damon was 5 years old, he was given Killian as his own personal butler and assistant. Ever since then, Killian had done all the miscellaneous work on his behalf, as Damon was required to spend most of his time doing classes or training with people chosen by his mother.
According to his mother, Damon was given to him as a gift from the Elven Empire, celebrating his 5th birthday. Apparently, Killian's family were Royal Soldiers of the Elven Empire and were assassinated by the Abyssal Regime. The Abyssal Regime were a group of persons who had submitted to the Abyss and used Abyssal Power, essentially selling their souls for power.
With no other family, Sapphire had asked Killian back then if he wanted to be Damon's butler and he said yes. Afterwards, Damon and Killian had signed a Zect, which is a special type of mana contract that can't be broken, binding Killian as Damon's loyal butler forever.\
Killian had awakened previously, receiving Saint Grade 1 Star in both Mana and World Spiritists, making him very talented, yet Damon was hoping to Sign-In some rewards to increase his talent further silently, wanting to make Damon into his perfect assistant.
"Thank you Killian." Damon said as he looked at the boy, reminding himself to give Killian more resources in the future to make him stronger, especially now that Damon had his own system which would provide him lots of rewards.
"Madame is in the Dining Room awaiting your presence." Killian responded and turned around, walking and leading Damon towards the dining room. The walls of the Palace's hallways were filled with elegant expensive paintings and doors leading to a variety of rooms.
The soft glow of the lights illuminated the beautiful symetrical conjunction between the intricate designs of the paintings on the wall and the colour scheme of the walls itself. The abundant mana of the room made every breath feel incredibly fresh.
While walking, Damon was thinking about his mother.
Sapphire Rivelea
Grand Marshall Of the Divine Demon Empire
Divine Demon Grand Duchess
Crimson Witch Of Destruction
Damon's mother's titles were almost endless and her reputation was infact endless, due to her immense strength and intelligence. Damon's mother was born to the former Divine Demon Emperor and his wife, and her talent was just as good as her twin brother, the current Divine Demon Emperor Argus.
As they grew up, the duo became two of the fiercest young prospects in the entire world, due to their immense individual talent and constant training that never allowed them to fall behind.
However, during their training, the duo had fallen into a Forgotten Dimension, a Dimension left behind from the Primordial Era that held treasures alongside dangers, but was forgotten in time.
Within this Dimension, Sapphire alongside her brother, Demon Emperor Argus, had obtained an ancient treasure with gave her the Eternal Origin Succubus Bloodline, a Divine Grade Bloodline that gave her the power of the very first Succubus, the strongest Succubus. This Bloodline boosted her strength, potential and every other feature of her massively, and lead her to dominate the generation with an iron fist due to her power.
The ancient treasure also gave her brother, the Demon Emperor, the Eternal Origin Vampire Bloodline, a Divine Grade Bloodline that gave him the power of the very first Vampire, the strongest Vampire. These bloodlines were infinitely stronger than any other Demon alive and allowed the duo to dominate and rule the Divine Demon Empire, turning it into the strongest Empire in the world.
In her battles after obtaining the Bloodline, Sapphire had earned the title 'Crimson Witch Of Destruction' due to her immensely destructive magical attacks that had the potential to wipe entire kingdoms off the map effortlessly and the crimson shade of mana she had due to her new Divine-Grade Bloodline.
Damon's mother was certainly well known and respected across the world, and Damon was going to meet her for the first time since receiving the system.
Damon entered the room after being led by Killian, the room was very big and elegant, in the middle, there was a long, beautiful table stocked up with delicious food that released an alluring aroma that made one drool. Sitting on the opposite side of the table was Sapphire,who had worn a flowing white gown that hugged her curves in all the right places, and her red hair looked as if blood was constantly dripping from it, and her eyes a deep crimson red that was becoming of blood as she locked gazes with Damon who had sat down across from her.
"Come over here before you eat." Sapphire said, her voice dripping with both love, but a sense of authority.
Damon nodded and walked towards Sapphire, standing next to her and wondering what would happen next. However, he already had an inkling suspicion. Sapphire swiftly moved her hands so quickly Damon couldn't even register what was happening, and milliseconds later, Damon's head was pressed deeply into Sapphire's bosom and Sapphire's elegant hands wrapped around his head, shaking him with joy.
"Congratulationssss!! Congrats on a successful awakening, I am so~so~happy about your talent level." Sapphire said, her voice now void of all authority, only laced with pure familial love as she hugged Damon tightly, an estatic look on her face.
That's right, although Damon's mother had lots of work, so couldn't be with Damon alot of the time and she was in such a big position, whenever she was with Damon, she always showered him with immense love and doted on him quite alot, leading to him to be quite spoiled growing up.
Sapphire's elegant hands moved and ruffled Damon's hair as she spoke once more, "I heard you are making a business, do you need more money. How much would you want, 5 billion? 10 billion, 20 billion? Or maybe Mana Crystals, I have tens of thousands of them if you need."
Sapphire's doting mother mode was completely turned on as she showered Damon with love. Damon ignored how Sapphire already knew he was building a business, knowing that her information network was the best in the world and she always had many eyes on him.
( There will be no Romantic Relationship between Damon and Sapphire. Incest Pass DENIED! )
"I already have more than enough resources from my allowance over the years mother. The business I am making would definitely revolutionize technology." Damon said, and he was true. Although technology in this world was just as good or even better than 2023 Earth due to Mana.
Mana's existence also hamstrung all creativity using technology, leading to it all being used for very basic things such as building, travel or very basic communication and news transfer. Things such as Social Media, Live Streaming, Video Making, Video Games and other forms of earth like technological entertainment did not exist here as most people used technology simply to further power, not thinking about the monetary benefits of using technology to bring entertainment.
Damon would completely swallow up this void in the market, and use it to her incredible money and have powerful influence stacked on-top of his power and background.
"Well if you ever need anything, ask me. I won't inquire about what unique powers you awakened, but make sure to train it well, are you planning to stay here or train outside." Sapphire asked.
"I plan to cultivate to the Mana Foundation Realm and Spirit Apprentice Realm while training my combat capabilities before training outside in the wild. I will need a legion of bodyguards to watch over me during my training, and also Killian will be joining me for both my training here and my training outside." Damon said, the Foundation and Apprentice realms were rather early, and focused more and preparation for the real difficulties in cultivation later, yet still they weren't easy to cross quickly and effectively, as rushing through them could cripple geniuses due to their importance.

Also, aside from the cultivation ranks, Damon wasn't like other novel or anime protagonists, who had insane backgrounds yet went out training with NO-ONE to protect them, leading them to almost die to many enemies there family could easily kill or worse get captured. Damon always found it frustrating these protagonists would lose so much time and money when they could simply take some shadow guards and beat up anyone who crossed them. Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger was not something Damon was fond of. He was more fond of being a dragon to eat a tiger!
Damon would use his family to his full advantage. Damon also wanted to take Killian to train him alongside his own personal training.
"I will prepare a battle legion to you. They will both be in charge of your training here and be your bodyguards when you go explore and train outside of the Empire. Karthus will be the leader." Sapphire said as she responded to Damon's proposals, very happy her son wasn't stubborn and actively accepted bodyguards.
After that, Damon and Sapphire ate their dinner and talked about various other topics before Damon returned to his room and went to bed, excited for the next day.
