Life Drain System Chapter 5

A man in a white classy suit stood up, and his nice black pulled back hair settled as he stood. Then he began to speak as he walked closer to Yueliang with his piercing purple eyes staring into Yue's. "It seems you know you were taken, however you still do not know why? It seems we have a lot to talk about, however first let us get the pleasantries out of the way. You may call me Zuzhang.
"So you are called father or Patriarch?" Yuliang asked curiously, trying to ease the tension slightly.
"It means Patriarch however yes, you are correct" Zuzhang stated sounding slightly more easy going.
"Well shall we begin? You said we have lots to talk about and I am curious. However first would you mind having your subordinates sit or something, everyone standing makes me feel edgy." Yueliang stated calmly with a fierce gaze.
"They are just doing their job, so let us begin." Zuzhang sighed then continued. "Anyway, you were kidnapped because your lady friend's father hired us to do so, and does not like just anyone dating his daughter. You must be strong enough to protect her and yourself, you must be intelligent, you must have high status, and the money to give her the live she deserves. Of these he feels you only mean half maybe three of the four. Either way....
"I need a drink of water, and to use the restroom." Yueliang said while getting up cutting off Zuzhang. However as he began to stand, all 8 subordinates in the room pulled out guns, each standing 4 meters from him and half a meter from each other. However before Zuzhang could give an order, he saw Yueliang disappear. As he looked around quickly he saw him behind one of his subordinates right as he was falling, then he disappeared again.
Yueliang punched the next man in the kidney light enough to not cause internal bleeding, but heavily enough to cause severe pain. Then threw a chop at his throat to stop him from speaking, however did not collapse his throat so as not to kill him. The man then fell to the floor like the last, and Yue disappears once more reappearing behind the next one, however unexpectedly he was ready for him and the next guard stabbed him in the stomach right as he appeared before turning around to face him. Yue's blood was spreading on his clothes quickly.
[-1 health, bleeding effect activated]
[Bleeding: lose .5 health per second for 20 seconds]
Right as the man turned around, Yueliang was refocused and threw a right punch at the mans face. This time not holding back. Once it landed, everyone in the room heard a loud bone breaking sound as his skull got punctured and his brain squashed inside his head, causing blood to spurt out a lot. Then he went on to the next one faster then before, taking down each of the remaining five subordinates with one punch to the chest to make it difficult to breath. If they did not stay down he broke their back just enough that they could not move but could be fixed at the hospital easily. As these days even if they were paralyzed it is easily fixable, as technology has advanced so much.

Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding....
Once finished with them, Yueliang asked again. "So, Water and Restroom?" However when he looked at Zuzhang he was stunned to see although he was surprised he was ready to fight. But when Zuzhang heard these words he calmed down and said "To your right.", and pointed at the restroom and the water beside it.
Yueliang, went to the restroom to clean himself up, then came out and got some water to drink, looking very refreshed and refreshing.
"May we get back to business now?" Zuzhang asked calmly and slightly annoyed. His men being carefully carried of the room by more of his subordinates.
"Of course" Yue sounded cheerful with a smile yet extremely calm and pleased with himself. However in his mind he was thinking 'Wow that was close, I am down to a little under half health, and really need to be more careful in the future. Next time I might not be so fortunate.'
"It seems Mr. Xiang was wrong. You are indeed strong, however you still have a long way to go before you are strong enough."
"I have a question for you, why have you been so light handed with me since my arrival seeing as you are the mafia leader?" Yue said curiously.
"Well, firstly we were not hired to do so, second, although we can get results quickly, the aftermath is a pain to deal with. Third, you are of the highest nobility second only to the king. However the main reasons are the second and first." Zuzhang said matter of factly.
"I must admit, it is nice that we can talk so easily to each other. However I am curious about something else now."
"Speak out your concerns."
"First, why are you not that active in Beijing?" Yue asked.
"Well we are active however considering all the tourists we get a lot of income to not be 'seen' there. Now next question."
"I was wondering if we could work together?"
Completely stunned Zuzhang asked "And what is it exactly you would want of us?"
"I think you misunderstood, I just figured since my inheritance does not come for a while I need to make money, I am almost finished with University after which I go to the spatial war. However while working with you I figured I could continue to 'grow' while making money, and gaining brothers since Ii have no family left alive." Yueliang said matter of factly.
"You do realize if you join, there is no leaving without dying right? Also, even if you did how would you even know you would make it."
"That is where you come in, you are the patriarch so to speak right? I figured if I prove myself to you, you could 'adopt' me, and make me your heir. Also having nobility would help cross many things you could not before. As well as 'many other benefits' that I can bring soon."

"That is certainly a big thing to ask, but having nobility of your level as part of us would be insanely valuable more so than I can imagine. However the main thing I am curious about is what those other benefits you speak of are."
"Have you ever wanted something but it does not yet exist? Or maybe wanted to brings someone back from death or needed a Magic caster, enchanter, blacksmith, alchimist, and martial artist all of the highest caliber and talent?"
Zuzhang's eyes nearly bulged at the sound of this because not just anyone knows of these jobs existing, let alone anyone of such caliber and talent. "You know such people" His voice slightly trembling as he spoke.
Without revealing anything, Yue promptly said "Yes" calmly.
"'If what you say is true, it seems I am getting the better side of the bargain." Zuzhang said trying to hide the excitement in his voice.
"It is however, it is different from what you think."
Zuzhang visibly showed some disappointment at these words thinking he could not come through. However the next words that came out of Yueliang's mouth made him faint for a few seconds.
"They are 'one' person."
----a few seconds later----
"I am sorry, I think I misheard, could you repeat that."
"They are 'one person."
"That is impossible right, I mean it takes insanely long just to nurture one of those classes let alone all of them." Zuzhang nearly fainted again from excitement.
"Well do we have a deal?"
"Absolutely, however one thing you need to know if I adopt you, although I may be hard on you sometimes, you must treat me as your father, and I will treat you as my son so long as you treat me as such."
"Of course father, although I cannot imagine someone replacing my birth father, having another family member is something I long for, and will fight to the death for. I will treat you with the respect and kindness you deserve." Yueliang bowed filially, then went up to hug his new family.
"I am very happy to have a son, I was never able to have a child because my wife and love of my life died in child birth. I look forward to getting along with you son. Well firstly tell me who the person is, then I will start introducing you to your new life." Zuzhang said happily.
"You have already met him, it is me dad" Yueliang said then continued. "Although I have not yet been nurtured, I have each field in my mind and know how to make quite a lot already. The only thing I need to work on right now is my speed and skill, but I promise you will not regret it."
Zuzhang was surprised, however felt for some reason that every word he spoke was the truth. Then led him further into the building saying. "I look forward to seeing your good work, in the future, however for now I should tell you. I will begin introducing you to the underworld once I have a party organized for my son." He could not help but smile and put his arm around Yue when he said these words, then continued. "Try to raise your proficiency in all your skills quickly I will set it for a month from now. Give me your number, and I will tell you when it is ready. Remember you need to make a great first impression when there." The last sentence he said with utmost seriousness.
"Of course father."
"Well, I will bring you back to the University so you may continue your studies." Zuzhang said these words as they took the elevator to the roof.
"Thank you very much, and by the way, awesome jump jet." Yueliang said while admiring the ship. Of course almost all vehicles these days were capable of space flight, not to mention jets and carriers that are meant for deep space travel, not just short trips.
"Glad you like it, however with your skill, I am sure soon you will be able to make such a thing if not better".
They continued speaking and having fun on the short trip to the university. They flew slow because going faster than light speed on a planet was pretty much asking for death.
Once they arrived they hugged then said goodbye, Yueliang went to bed shortly after that.
---- 4 hours later----
Yawn
Wow that was a good sleep. However in order to keep my word I need to make sure I have these skills at the highest proficiency possible before then, and I think I know just the way....

8 77Elder's Game
In a world set upon by an ancient threat, a new cycle of civilisation competes for power and resources. Amidst the games and politicking of Elder beings, the masses are unknowingly ensnared in plots and schemes that were centuries in the making. At the heart of the world’s workings lies the Tyreal Valley—a land that promises to fulfil the desires of those who seek it. As a haven for the truly strong, the path to this promise is paved more often than not in warfare and blood. To two young stragglers fighting for more than just their own fates, it is left as their only answer. But maybe that’s just what their enemies want. Magic system vaguely similar to GameLit ones (no system nor interface to help), with certain elements that are a bit more analogue. Politics, war, looming apocalypse, a tiny dash of kingdom building, and a minor bit of crafting. There is a bit of a progression element as well as both environmental and cultural exploration. The story follows two youths more directly influenced by aforementioned Elder beings than most. Neither lead cares for politics but certain situations force them into participating, forcing them to make decisions that shape their morality. Initially, the focus is on the male lead as he comes of age in an environment with little scope to change his future, only to be thrust into new circumstances that permanently kill some of his hopes. 3k words every chapter
