Chapter 26 - Fate System (1)

"If I am not mistaken, he is an ally of the Chaos."

That's what the old man said, but...

"What do you mean, an ally of the Chaos?"

I can't understand it.

The Chaos' goal is to destroy the multiverse, why would anyone support it? What do they gain from that?

"People who only seek destruction, who are wicked by nature. They are the ones who inhabit the dark realm. Vampires are one of the many races that inhabit that realm."

"And the other realms?" I ask the old man.

"Because the human realm is under the direct control of my daughter, they fight the dark realm directly. While the dragon realm remains neutral to conflicts on both sides."

That's a pretty short explanation, considering all the crap he's thrown around before.

"Anything else?"

It doesn't look like the old man is going to talk anymore, so I'm asking him to get some information out of him.

"I'm sure the situation is more complex, but my daughter hasn't told me anything else about the situation in the realms. That's something you're gonna have to figure out for yourself, kid."

Are you serious? Can't you be a little more responsible, man?

"Do you have anything else to tell me? If not, I'd like to get out of here."

I said as I turned around and walked...

...nowhere.

Because there's nowhere to f.u.c.k.i.n.g go!

This white world with nothing in it and this damn old man makes me want to die once more.

How the f.u.c.k do I get out of here?

For now, I gotta get away from the old man. Shit, I ain't even gonna turn around to see him again.

Run, Draco, run. You're a f.u.c.k.i.n.g dragon, you have to run faster than a dead old man.

"That light..."

Shit, here's the f.u.c.k.i.n.g old man again.

Turn around, quick!

Run, run, run...

"Again, the f.u.c.k.i.n.g light..."

"You can run all you want, you'll never find your way out."

F.u.c.k.i.n.g old man...

"You still have business with me, don't you? Come on, finish quickly. I'm tired of seeing you bald, old man."

There it is again!

Let's stop laughing at the old man's eyebrow now.

"Boy, you really know how to drive me crazy..."

Yeah, yeah...

"Sigh... You don't have any respect for me, do you? Even knowing that I'm the creator... Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"You're not going to kill me. You need me."

The old man opens his eyes and mouth wide. He opens and closes it several times before laughing out loud.

"Hahaha, how unexpected, how unexpected. I'm fond of you, guy. Just for that, I'm going to grant you a wish you've been asking for a long time."

Some of what he said seems a bit gay...

"What wish?"

"Hehe, you'll know when you wake up."

Hey man, what's with that perverted smile of yours?

"Now, do you remember the first system I told you about?"

"The system you gave the dragon, right?"

The old man nods.

"Yeah, that's the one."

Now that you mention it, why don't I know anything about that system? If I remember correctly, the goddess (her daughter) told me she was going to add some Fate to the system. Does this system have anything to do with Nasuverse?

"The first system bases its power on the path its bearer, you, in this case, chooses. You have chosen the path of killing to gain experience, so your evolutions and skills will be based on the evil path."

"I have not chosen that..."

"You haven't? Then it must have been my daughter playing with the system..."

Goddam goddess...

"Even if that path is called 'evil', it doesn't have to be. For example, you can kill your enemies who are trying to kill you. Still, by doing so, you'll already be entering the 'evil' path.

"The other way would be the 'right' way, which would consist of defeating but not killing the enemies who are trying to kill you."

That's just stupid. Almost as ridiculous as me trying to think that humans would treat me right, knowing that I was a delight to them.

"To me, that path is one of hypocrites and idiots. Honestly, I prefer you to go to the 'evil' path."

I agree with you for once, man.

"The skill [tiny hero] is evidence that following the evil path is not the same as doing evil. So don't worry about that."

I've never worried about that, man. I got to interrupt him before he goes any further off-topic.

"Tell me about the second system, man."

"Yeah! Cough-Cough."

"You're gonna die, man."

Will his eyebrow fall off from shaking?

"The second system, which is actually the first system I created, is based on fate. It's pretty hard to put into words, so I'll show you. Open your second status."

"My second status?"

"You have to say: Fate System."

Thanks, man.

What is this? Is this Fate's system?

"As you can see, the system has already recognized you as a master. The rest is pretty simple too."

"Fate Skills are the only ones that can be obtained with the Gacha, while Servants and Noble Phantasm can be obtained by other means."

"Servants can be obtained with the gacha, but can also be obtained through the ritual used in the nasuverse, or you can turn your allies into servants."

The last part of what he said got my attention.

"What do you mean, turn my allies into servants?"

The old man smiles. For some reason, I'm getting irritated by that smile.
