Mixed Blessing System



Meanwhile, in a place far away from where Lothur was...

In a land where no life grew, the soils were as black as the night sky, and dark fog covered part of the surroundings, hiding part of what existed there.

In the middle of this area, a stone palace, the same color as everything in the surroundings, was hidden beneath the shadows in a place where there was neither day nor night.

There, a being sitting on the central throne of this palace suddenly opened his eyes while feeling a very particular spiritual fluctuation.

"This feeling... Who did that?" This creature caused all the spiritual energy in the surroundings to go into agitation as its eyes narrowed and its dark, semi-transparent body vibrated.

"Your Excellency? Has something happened?" Upon seeing his leader's unusual reaction, a creature dressed in armor and armed asked.

"Someone artificially started the cycle of reincarnation of a group of people and spectres." He said to one of his men on the outskirts. "Go, search for that being! He must have in possession one of the magnificent items."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Several of them shouted simultaneously before disappearing from there.

Meanwhile, that creature rested his head on one of his fists, looking ahead of him and seeing the distance of this place while his head was awkwardly tilted 90 degrees to the side.

'Is someone trying to interfere with my plans?'

...

Meanwhile, in Rablus...

There was a small village in the northwest of this state, not far from the beginning of the Ancestral Region area, near the border with Norid.

In this place, a group of people were gathered in a small hut, with nervous looks on their faces but also somber tones in their voices.

"What are we going to do? Recently the number of people dangerous to our miss has increased greatly in numbers in both Norid and Rablus."

"Times are changing... The high-level powers are becoming more agitated."

"Even the damned demons are putting our plans at risk!"

"Sigh... Previously we could hide easily, but now our scope for action greatly diminishes. What will we do if this continues?"

"We don't have much to do. We can only wait for the young miss. As long as we buy her time, she will become stronger and take us to the top of the world!"

While they were talking in that hut, silence spread over this place where about 50 houses existed.

But even with so many houses available, less than 10 of them were occupied.

Strangely enough, some unoccupied houses seemed to have been suddenly set aside. If one walked into one of them, one would see places with clothes and dishes in closets, plates, cutlery, and glasses waiting to be washed in the sinks.

It was as if these places had suddenly been abandoned by their owners, while nobody else cared about the situation of these houses...

But a stall was full in one part of this village, with several beings waiting to be slaughtered!

...

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since Malte's death.

After traveling by the side of a level 17 woman controlled by his ability, Lothur crossed the border from Cesha to Rablus!

In doing so, he ordered that woman to return to the side of her group, which was traveling to Peters City.

Now that he was in his destination state, he intended to continue his journey alone. That person could no longer help him, so they had separated hours ago.I think you should take a look at

Having started the final part of his journey in search of the family of the soul fragment he had met in Lewerenz, Lothur immediately searched for a large city, interested in more information.

Now in Rablus, he would surely find a place with more information than those he had passed.

...

"Ah... Demons have attacked another village. What a great tragedy."

As he entered a tavern in the first city of Rablus he stopped, Lothur frowned upon hearing this casual comment, not expecting to already arrive in a place hearing from demons.

"That's life, old man. These creatures will cause chaos as long as there are no hunters strong enough to kill the demon leaders." A young man commented to that elder while he was dressed in the robes of the Seraphim Church.

"Sigh... Unfortunately, our state is close to the lair of these creatures. As long as this is the case, news like the end of Pinecross Village will keep coming up." Another elder commented. "Every 20 years, we have a massacre of great proportions.

Nothing out of the normal so far..."

Several sighs sounded in the surroundings as people dealt with yet another massacre that had recently become news.

According to news reports, demons had attacked Pinecross Village and exterminated a group of over 500 people.

This news would shock populations to the south of the continent so that many would consider migrating because of the fear of something like this happening to them. But in Rablus, sightings of demons were more common than anywhere else on the continent, and the empire's population was used to the news.

Nobody liked this, but without the possibility of overcoming these problems, what could they do but try to live their lives?

Should they flee their state and leave the territory to the demons?

Leaders of the various powers behind this state refused to do this, which on the other hand, motivated many ordinary people to continue living in this empire, given the opportunities to serve clans, sects, families, and associations of the most varied kinds.

For everything, there was a price!

To have opportunities that they would not have in weaker states, tens of millions of people had become accustomed to the dangers of living in this dangerous domain!

Lothur immediately realized this as he entered that tavern.

'It seems that the action of demonic groups is very developed in this state.' He watched some of the people talking about it in the surrounding area, interested.

If he came across one of these creatures...

But then someone spoke to him, distracting him. "Sir, what's it going to be?" A young woman with full breasts asked as she stopped before Lothur, waiting to collect the order from this handsome black-haired man.

Lothur looked at this woman of abundant measurements and said. "See me a soup."

After a few moments, Lothur's order arrived, and he placed a bag of coins on his table, indicating for that woman to sit down.

She looked at Lothur strangely and said. "Look, I'm not going out with you just because..."

As she was about to reject yet another one trying to get her into bed, Lothur interrupted her and said. "Miss, don't get me wrong. I want your advice, not something else, although I am tempted to." He smiled.

"Advice?" She opened her eyes wider, surprised. "What kind of advice?"

Lothur laughed and said. "I am in this city for the first time. I would like information about the location of some organizations. Why don't you take the day off to guide me?"

She checked Lothur's coin bag and saw that in it was the payment for the soup and 10 gold coins, an absurd amount for a bonus.
