《Rise of the death seeking emperor》6 - Leaving

"Hey! Look that's Adel! That idiot who decided to court Vermin despite Damon always telling him that she's his!"
"Didn't Damon say that he's gonna get rid of him today? What happened?"
"Look at his neck! He's got a cut! That obviously indicated that he was assassinated but something occurred! Could it be that he killed the assassin?"
"Impossible! He's barely at the Ki sensing realm whilst the assassin must be at least at is the Blood refining realm! Such a wide gap, even I wouldn't dare to imagine winning, let alone that good-for-nothing Adel!"
"Then how is he still alive? Let's go ask him!"
The servants spoke to each other as they saw Adel walk through the clan with a scratch in his neck with a calm expression, looking as if the wound he got did nothing to him.
"Hey, Adel you bastard! How did you survive that assassination from Damon!"
A group of servants blocked his path, halting his steps.
The servants' actions quickly aroused the attention of those around them, and they became the center of attention.
"Why do you think I should answer you? And big sister Vermin! Can you make it so that they don't bother us anymore?" Asked Adel as he wasn't bothered by their question.
"Sure - Now either scram or I'll have to force myself to do some other drastic measures." Vermin looked back at them with a narrowed stare filled with killing intent.
Her horrifying killing intent that seemed to be sharp enough to manifest, but was missing something, froze the servants on the way and caused them to shiver uncontrollably, almost as if they were staring at a hungry beast on the verge of leaping towards them.
'Close to manifestation? But it's still nothing compared to mine after I get back my strength.

I shouldn't say that though, as I am not what I used to be, so I should rely on her for a while until I at least enter the Soul refining realm.' sighed Adel slightly when he compared his killing intent to hers, her killing intent wasn't even 10% of his own.
"Hmph. A bunch of fools." Vermin coldly snorted and continued walking.

Upon reaching his living quarters within the outer court, Adel and Vermin were greeted by another average man in front of the door to his room.
"You...Adel, you're alive?"The young man had initially thought that he was looking at a ghost when he noticed Adel and Vermin walking towards his place from a distance. But now that he was standing in front of him, there was no way that he could be a ghost.
From the previous 'Adel's' memories Adel recognized this young man. He was his fellow servant, Ailbe.
"I am getting the stuff in there, along with Adel, don't bother us." Vermin walked into the house without giving him another word.

As soon as Vermin and Adel left the clan, they found a forest and stopped for a bit.
A while later, Vermin made an array so hastily, that made her look like she was jogging around, though that didn't shock Adel as he already speculated many other possibilities of her prowess.
'So she's good at arrays too huh... How about alchemy? Blacksmithing? I guess I can't know unless I go with her, that means that her family's strength isn't small..' Sighed Adel as he shook his head of the unnecessary thoughts.
As soon as they were in the array, the surrounding flashed and they teleported in a forest - far away than their previous location.

As soon as they teleported, Adel didn't forget to play his role though, as he looked startled when he arrived...
"Senior sister Vermin... Isn't that too expensive for us to use just to teleport here? "Said Adel as he still had a shocked expression with a bit of worry on his face, though he was inwardly thoughtful
' Even on Earth, they're pretty expensive to get, so her family must be either super-rich, or she trusts on my talent for her to use the teleportation array without hesitation.'
"No, it's fine. Though it's expensive, don't worry about it because I always bring one with me when I go back to the family compound." She said with a smile on her face, as they continued walking

' She's into a clan huh? But then they aren't her real parents, as her father would never allow someone to be her birth parents, so she's adopted...' Thought the figure as it glanced at Vermin for a while before getting back in Adel's soul...

A.N:
Sorry, I annoyed you a bit with the figure's comments though it's necessary as it gives hints at some future events...

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
8 84Odds
An apocalypse descended to the unsuspecting Earth, together with a system mysteriously similar to the ones in RPG games. Millions died from the incoming mana. The birth of monsters signaled the death of more. The Earth as we knew it, with its comfort, wars, cultures was no more. Only thing mattered were the new world of System. But, all of this was not the concern of Odds. From the accidental(?) death caused by his own skill, he found himself somewhere else. Somewhere far more challenging. A place where those not worthy of Heaven goes. Hell.
8 178Reaper's Game
When Shin Kagerou beat the VR game """"Death Defiance Online"""" he did not expect to end up being the one """"Chosen"""" by the Reaper to be the player in a game between gods. And definitely did not expect to be forced to become a murderer.*Note: First FF and still new to the site, any advice, critique and help would be greatly appreciated.
