"They should have known better than that to turn on me. What did they think would happen?" Drake muttered as he jumped off the pile of bodies and looked at the three children.

"So you were the one who brought that human to the palace for the interrogation?" The demon king narrowed his eyes on Alex as the silver-haired boy shrunk back.

"Did you kill our parents?" He asked in a firm voice as the demon king nodded. The boy then took a deep breath before bowing down to Drake.

"You have no idea how thankful I am for that," The silver-haired teenager then lifted his head and gave Drake a small smile. "Now I am no longer tied to them and forced to do things that I don\'t want to do."

"What do you mean by that?" Zoe asked in a confused tone as Alex suddenly opened his jacket and dropped it on the ground.

He then unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it to the side as the three demons could see a black-colored symbol on top of his chest.

"So that\'s what you meant," Drake muttered as he immediately recognized the seal. "They formed a soul bond with you and no matter how much you struggle, you will have to follow all the orders that they gave you."

"Then does that mean that…" Zoe\'s voice trailed off as her brother turned to her with a guilty look.

"Every time I hit you, I was ordered by our parents to do that so that I would go strong and kill on command while you will learn not to trust anyone and would become the perfect killing machine." He replied in a sad tone as the silver-haired girl stood still.

Aiden gently placed a hand on her shoulder as the girl turned to look at him with a shocked expression.

Zoe was strong enough to not cry but she had just been told that her entire life had been a careful manipulation planned by her parents.

"What else could they have done…" She whispered before shuddering a little.

Alex turned his gaze towards the ground as he knew that he was also responsible for her condition. The least he could do was tell her everything.

"Can we get some time alone?" He asked Drake who shrugged.

"I and Aiden are leaving anyways. You two are now in charge of overseeing the family. Go to your grandfather\'s secret room and pour a drop of your blood on the door. You will find two twin pairs of swords there. Use them to the maximum."

The two siblings bowed before they carefully walked to the second floor of the mansion while avoiding all the bodies.

"What did you find out?" Aiden then asked his dad in a grim voice as the demon king stared at the sky. Night was slowly approaching and he had only gotten a single clue about the location of his wife.

"There is a secret pattern of undercover demons that run throughout the continent. They look at the entire continent and send their reports to the continent of Astaroth. These guys are the ones responsible for taking Aysel to Astaroth and depart on midnight." Drake finished as he looked at his son before sighing.

"You are not taking me along, are you?" The black-haired boy asked as the demon king shook his head.

"You have to make sure that the kingdom doesn\'t run into chaos." He said with a sad smile even though Aiden knew why Drake wasn\'t taking him along.

This was because he was too weak for Drake to handle so for the time being, the teenager would stay alone at the palace.

"We will see each other really soon and I will have your mother with me by then," Drake promised before his form flickered and he vanished.

The teenager then teleported to his room as he didn\'t have the heart to walk through the blood-stained hallways of the palace

\'Sera, how long do you think it will take the rest of the capital to find out about the massacre that happened here?\' Aiden asked as he crashed down on his bed.

< It will depend on the members of the order but honestly, it should take only half a day before the entire capital erupts in chaos. >

Aiden then sighed before a random idea came to his mind. He had no idea what he would think of such an idea but he was still tempted to do something about it.

"Sera, I want to talk to the system."

< What? >

"I said I want to talk to the system."

< I heard that correctly. I just want to know why do you want to talk to the system? >

"It\'s something important that I cannot tell you about."

< Don\'t blame me if anything wrong happens. > The teenager felt Sera\'s voice fading away as a constant ticking sound suddenly filled his ears.

[ The host wanted to talk to me? ]

"Yes, system, I did. I just wanted to ask, who created you and what was your purpose?"

[ Who created me and what my purpose is? ]

"Like, who was the person who designed all those skills, filled you with the information, created those experience points, created that status panel, and all that? And why is your purpose to give people such power?"

[ The system…. The system…. The system…. The system…. ]

The same line continued to repeat itself in Aiden\'s head and it grew louder every single time. The black-haired demon soon felt as though someone was blaring into his ear using a megaphone.

But all of a sudden, the voice vanished and complete silence followed later on.

"System? Sera?" Aiden asked in a confused tone as all of a sudden, he started following. He didn\'t scream but his eyes widened when he saw that he was falling through the space and that too towards the demon realm.

[ You asked the wrong question child. The system is something that was connected to the core of the demon realm and by asking it such a question, you made the demon realm shrink. ] A voice that Aiden had forgotten about resounded inside his mind.

"What?!" Aiden shouted but his voice was not audible since he was in space.

In front of his eyes, he saw the realm of demons slowly shrinking.

[ Now all the demons living here will be teleported to the demon continent on the human realm. And not only that but the angels are facing the same fate because of the shrinking of the demon realm. They will be moved to the angel continent.

The elves are already there so congratulations, you made all the races of Clover get together with each other. Though you will no longer be alive to see what happens next. ]

"What do you mean?"

[ You will be swallowed by the system just like Sera and the two of you will be forced to wait for another person that would reincarnate on the now combined realm of Clovia. And since that location is now off-limits, the chances of that happening is very low. ]

"But…"

[ There are no buts kid. This is just a single universe. ]

All of a sudden, the scene in front of Aiden\'s eyes changed as he saw himself seeing three colorful oddly sized objects floating in the middle of space.

[ Those are the only universes that I managed to see. The one on the right is our universe where earth, Clovia, and a few other realms exist. The one on the top is a cultivation universe that is governed by Time, Space, and something called the Darkness.

I have no idea about the third one but it has a earth too. You might be wondering why I am telling you all of this and the reason is simple, it is to show you how big the entire universe really is. ]

"So you are telling me that the multiverse theory exists?"

[ Yes though the laws and everything else are quite different in the other universes but in simpler terms, yes, everything is in a multiverse. ]

"And I am going to vanish and merge with the system for eternity?"

[ Yes. ]

"Then fuck you."

[ Those were your last words. Goodbye, the one abandoned by the gods. ]

And with that, the black-haired teenager\'s body vanished.

[ I wonder if you would ever get the chance to see the world you reunited. ]

I am sorry…

Yes, this was the end of this novel and I am sorry for ending it in this way. But the story had become something that I could no longer handle and it was driving me crazy while giving me a whole lot of stress. So, therefore, I had to end it.

I am sorry once again but all I can say is that you can take this as a back story. As you could have guessed, there would be a sequel to this story where I will visit the old things.

And it would be a hundred times better than this one.

I am once again sorry for ending the story this way.

However, I hope that the sequel would be much better.

Sincerely, the author.
