《Death is Just a New Opportunity》Family Meeting
Advertisement
Right now, I’m sitting at our dinner table in my house. Sitting, waiting, for those bastards to come home. I’ve already asked Rose and she said that they should be coming home today. I know that I’ve said that I don’t want them finding out, but I just can’t help myself from confronting me. I mean at this point, it’s neglect right? It’s favoritism right? It’s BULLSHIT right? Besides, there’s no doubt in my mind that once they are back they’d find out in a matter of days. They definitely have spies watching me, they may favor my brother but I’m still their son. There’s no point trying to hide it, that mean I can do what I want. Now, I don’t specifically know what that is yet, but that’s not the point.
I’ve ordered Rose to give me a whole bottle of wine, and although she was skeptical about it at first, she noticed I’m in a no nonsense mood. I fully intended to take advantage of my position as the “Young Master” if she put up an argument. Currently, I’m slowly drinking the good stuff. I don’t even know if I can even pronounce the name of the bottle but it’s damn good, that’s for sure.
Gain Skill: Poison Resistance
Well, that’s going to be incredibly useful and annoying at the same time. While it will come in handy if I’m ever facing a poison user, (Which, cmon, probably going to happen) it’ll be harder and harder to get buzzed. Sometimes, a man just wants to let the world fall away, you know? It’s only been two days, and yet everything has went off the rails. While I can admit that it’s for the better, it doesn’t mean that I’m not pissed that all my plans just went out the fucking window. Anyway, I’ve made new plans to replace the old ones. I’m no longer sure that I can completely crush the high school competition anymore. No, that’s not the right words, I’m absolutely damn sure that there’s just no way. If a couple of freshmen were able to unlock their flames then for sure upper grades have more.
Honestly why the fuck am I so surprised, Tsuna and his whole crew were able to bitch slap everyone in fucking middle school. Man, I hope I’m the Tenth or something cool like that, I don’t want to be something lame like the second or the twelth. Besides that, if those guys levels doubled after my observe updated and were that strong then does that mean my parents levels doubled too? My observe wasn’t high enough at first to find out but now it definitely is. After Eugene observed everyone, I did it myself. I couldn’t just waste the levels, and although they were hella annoyed to have to do everything twice, I couldn’t give any fucks about their feelings. My observe is now sitting at a nice level 8, gaining 5 levels from using it on all those kids. That’s not the only thing that happened either.
Don Feature Unlocked!
4 Capos
40 Soldiers
25 Associate
Mission
0 Currently Missions Active
I freaking unlocked a Don feature! This is so cool! I get to send them on missions and shit, this right is here is...game changing!...You see what I did there?....Never mind. I’ll definitely abuse the shit out of this feature though. If I click on one of the categories, it pops up all their names, levels, and information. I can then select them to do missions but the only mission currently unlocked is called Dungeon Crawl, which isn’t actually a bad thing. I mass dungeon crawl will level up my soldiers, which seem to be kids level 10 and above. Associates are those lower level than 10. While I don’t know the current situation of other gangs in the school, I could probably guarantee they have more troops than I do. Not only that, they are probably stronger too. They not only have more quantity, but also better quality.

Tonight, I will produce as many weapons as I can and store them in my inventory. Tomorrow we all will go on a dungeon crawl and I’ll try to find out what my flames do while keeping the weaklings alive. I want everyone to at least be a soldier level by next week. Weaklings will just drag us down and an army is only as strong as its weakest member. In fact, I should start producing now, I have nothing to hide anymore, might as well use my time wisely.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the time I hear my folks pulling up in the driveway it’s been 2 hours and my skill Creation is level 6. I’ve created 100 wooden shields, 30 guns, and 20 katanas. I’ve created extra for the future It seems the Creation skill will take a long time to level up and that’s it’s harder to create things will metal. The swords took the longest, although they should have been the most simple. It also took up most of mana. About halfway through, Rose came in and saw me creating stuff out of thin air. She sat there watching for about 5 minutes before speaking up and asking her creations, which I answered in very irritating form just because I’m a dick. When she asked what I was doing I simply said ‘preparing’ and continued working. When the asked how I was creating things out of thin air then making them disappear she at first thought they were illusions but quickly came to the conclusion they weren’t. She then sat at the table and watched me without asking anything more with a grim expression. I, of course, ignored her like she was never there and continued.
Rose gets up from her chair and walks out the front door to greet my folks in proper maid-like manner. I smirk as I glance at her swaying hips before placing the last of my creations into my inventory. I open my 4th bottle of wine and pour a glass. My poison resistance has also leveled up 2 times after constant drinking. Something else I realized, I can’t get drunk. My Gamer’s Mind just won’t let me. I can see that becoming amazingly useful and stupendously annoying in the future.
Father, Mother, and Neo finally comes into the house after around 2-3 minutes of waiting. Rose was probably explaining my weird behavior and powers that seemingly came out of nowhere. I finish my glass of wine as they all sit at the table. I took the heads seat Father usually sits in of coarse. Father is wearing his usual black business suit and dress shoes like usual. I don’t think the man even has casual clothes. No, actually think that those are his casual clothes. His brown eyes have a worry in them but he’s quiet for now. Mother is wearing a purple dress that goes amazingly with her purple eyes that hold intrigue in them. The black high heels she’s wearing makes her seem taller than she is, considering she’s only 5’2”. My dear brother looks tired and impatient. His red eyes filled with irritation. He’s wearing a suit that barely looks like it’ll hold for 5 more seconds and black hair is disheveled. Currently he’s a bit shorter than me, sitting at a comfy 5’5”. Their expressions are grim so I decide to lighten the mood with my charming personality and loving smile.
“Hello Father, Mother, Little Neo. How are you guys? Would you mind telling me where you were, Neo even missed his first day of school.” I mockingly pout “How come he’s able to skip without getting in trouble but I do it one time in 8th grade and you act like the world is ending. This is unjust I say! Completely unfair!”

“...Jr, we’ve heard some strange things about you from Rose. How you were acting strange and...doing things that shouldn’t be possible.” Father says with a grim face, ignoring my previous comments. In response, I shrug my shoulders in confusion.
“What do you mean dear Father? Mother, the old man is being weird again. Did something happen on your little trip? Where was this little trip again? Sorry for asking about it so much, I’m just so curious about it.” I pour myself another glass of wine. From my side, I can see Neo in his seat, looking absolutely furious. He notices my look, but doesn’t even pretend to restrain his rage. I can’t help the smirk that appears from his look and definitely didn’t enjoy my silent mockery. Next thing I know, Neo lunges at me from across the table with gauntlets that look strangely like Tsuna’s but with double X’s instead of just one. Honestly, the fact that I dodged was pure luck. I quickly take out my gun and sword from Inventory and point it at him, which makes him growl. How the fuck is he so fast?! He’s faster than me without using Mana Reinforcing.

...What the FUCK are with these stats?!? I can’t even SEE how higher level they are then me. Not to mention my little brother is a fucking monster with them. I reinforce my body and weapons as soon as possible. Like this, he isn’t faster than me, but he’s definitely still stronger than me. I’m not gonna lie, that kind of ticks me off. The fact that I can literally see how much they love and care for me makes everything better though. I’m not even that mad about it anymore. Obviously I’m still going to take my place as the Godfather still but it’s still nice to see that they care. My typical Monkey D smile appears.
“Now now, what was that about little bro. That could have been dangerous if I didn’t dodge. I feel you guys are overreacting about something. I’m sure if we sit back down and talk about thi-”
“Shut the fuck up you piece of shit!!!”...wow. I’ve never heard my brother curse. I’ didn’t even think he knew what curse words were. I’m not the only one surprised either, Mom and Dad eyes seem like they’re going to pop out their head in surprise. It’s quiet for a couple seconds before he speaks up again, with barely restrained rage.
“My brother…my brother doesn’t have the power to do things like us. The fact that you were able to dodge my punch in the first place proves that you can’t be my big brother.” his teeth clench as his head tilts down. “And you dare appear in our home...wearing his face...speaking in his voice…” his eyes flash up at me, his usual red eyes, now surrounded by orange. A flame bursts from his forehead, his gauntlets catch aflame, and he looks at me with an eerie calm expression. He’s entered Hyper Dying Will Mode Why do I suddenly feel that our speed difference isn’t as big anymore? If I fight him...I will die. I don’t think he’s in a generous holding back mood either.
A chuckle escapes my throat, that turns into full blown laughter. Why aren’t I trying to calm him down then? Am I suicidal, he’s fully serious and powered up. I could die. Then...why am I so excited? I rotate my mana inside my body. Shouldn’t I run? My body starts to heat up, getting hot faster than should be possible without me getting burned. Shouldn’t I explain or escape? My eyes start to feel strain, and they narrow. Heh... I really am insane, aren’t I? Flames burst from my forehead and appear on my gun and sword. Well it seems Conqueror Flames are white. Interesting, I wonder what they can do. I guess, I’ll find out soon, but what I do know is that-
I appear behind Neo in a flash of speed before swinging a kick at his head that he barely turns around in time to block with both his arms.
Hyper Dying Will Mode Unlocked! All stats doubled!
I’m once again faster than him.
“You should calm down little brother. I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but someone might get hurt if you keep playing rough like that.” No matter how much I despise it, I still won’t win if we both go all out. I really do need him to calm down before he kills me. That doesn’t mean, however, that we can’t play for just a bit more. I send my Flames down my leg towards his arms form instinct. I don't know why but seeing his flames, mine just feels as if they want to consume them. Once my flames reached his I see his eyes widen and I feel a small bit of power absorbed into me. Neo jumps back.
“White flames? I’ve never heard of such a thing before. Who are you, and what are these flames? Why are you even here?” he asks with suspicion oozing out of him. It seems Undying Will Mode calmed him down a bit. Mom and Dad seem to be looking on with indifference but a quick Observe wipes away their facade and reveals that they too are shocked.
“Well I’m your older brother Neo. Is this so world shocking? Does any life with me as powerful be a false one? Are you saying that I’m meant to be weakling for the rest of my years little brother while you reach for the Sky? My flames are different than yours brother. While your flames Harmonize the Sky so that the Sun, Lightning, Mist, Rain, Storm, and Cloud can coexist peacefully, mine Conquer. I will not allow myself to be weak just because you feel that’s how things are supposed to be. I am Xavior motherfucking Dark! I will have the world kneel if I feel like it.” I say with a serious expression. Neo stays silent for a bit contemplating what to say.
“...I’m not saying that my brother is meant to be forever weak, but there’s no way he would be able to get so strong in a short amount of time. Not to mention Rose has said you’ve been acting weird. You just...can’t be Xavior.” I shake my head in disappointment and deactivate Hyper Dying Will while placing my weapons back into Inventory. There’s no point, even if I actually won, I wouldn’t be able to get past the two monsters I call parents. Besides, he’s in Hyper Dying Will Mode, I’m sure he’s figured out that I’m actually his brother already even though I didn’t drop any clues. You basically become Batman with that bitch on. Mother and Father probably knew that I wasn’t an imposter the moment I came in. No, they definitely knew, they are my parents after all.
“Short? You’ve been gone for 2 whole months! Spending the whole summer who knows where. Things are going to be different from now on,” I say looking at each of my family members. “I’m going to be different from now on.” I stare my brother in the eyes. “I fully intend on inheriting the Crow Famiglia. I have big plans for them, and myself. How could a conquer be satisfied with but everything?” I begin walking away, hands behind my back. If there’s more to talk about, we can do it tomorrow, it’s late and I have school in the morning. I wasn’t telling a lie though. I will never be satisfied until everyone kneels before me. People, kings, gods...I won’t be satisfied with just this world. I won’t be satisfied with just these gods. I won't be satisfied with just this galaxy! I won’t even be satisfied with just this universe…I’ll use the gods to further my goals just as they use me for entertainment. They better enjoy themselves while they can.
How can a Conqueror be satisfied with anything but absolutely everything?
