Abyssal Sovereign: The Demon's Dominion

Cain got home and went straight to his room.

Lin hurried to the kitchen to prepare something for her and her brother. They were both starving.

"Now, time to prepare," Cain said as he sat down on his chair, placing a notebook on his table.

Cain started writing down the important events in the game, equipment, and all the key details.

"Finally," Cain said as he looked at the almost-filled notebook and stood up to stretch his body.

...growl...

Cain's stomach growled as he walked downstairs. "Lin, food," Cain called out.

"Coming," Lin shouted as she came out of the kitchen. A refreshing and mouth-watering aroma drifted into Cain's nose as he sat down at the dining table.

"Let's hope it tastes as good as it smells," Cain suddenly said with a frown.

"Brother, what's that supposed to mean? If you don't like it, I'll take it back," Lin puffed her cheeks in anger.

"I'll just eat it like that… all because I'm hungry," Cain coughed slightly and started eating.

Lin noticed the occasional frown on her brother's face, and it made her feel disappointed in herself.

"Am I really a bad cook? Were Mom and Dad lying to me? This dirty brother says it's bad… just from his expression," Lin thought, sighing.

"Done… barely manageable," Cain said as he stood up and walked to his room.

"Brother, I'll work harder. My food will be good, okay?" Lin shouted as Cain started climbing the stairs.

"Delicious," Cain thought with a smile.

"Yes, work on that. You know what…" Cain paused. Tomorrow would be the last normal day, so he should do something meaningful with it.

"What, brother?" Lin asked with a pout.

"Take a three-day leave. Let's spend some time together," Cain suddenly said.

"Brother? What? We're in the middle of…" Lin began but was cut off by Cain.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Lin, you always told me you wanted to do something crazy. Let's do it then," Cain said as he turned back and continued moving up the stairs.

"Brother… okay, let's do it," Lin said as Cain smiled.

"Good. Work on your cooking," Cain said as he entered his room.

"Dirty brother," Lin said with a smile as she carried the plates to the kitchen.

***********

Cain sighed in his room as he looked at the system interface.

"One more day left… Let's make it count," Cain thought as he drifted off to sleep early. His parents would probably return late in the night.

...9:00 a.m.…

...knock, knock…

Cain heard a knock as he woke up.

...click…

His door opened, and Lin came into view. "So, I told Mom and Dad that you were sick, and I got injured in school, so they allowed us to stay at home," Lin said with a smile.

Cain looked at his sister and chuckled as he stood up.

"Sky old fox, go and prepare. I'll be out in a minute," Cain said with a smile.

"No problem, brother," Lin stuck out her tongue and walked out.

Cain looked at his table and the notes. He could still remember everything like it was yesterday. It seemed his memory had improved a lot.

************

11:59 p.m.

Cain and his sister first went to a gaming café, then out for lunch. They visited various places as Cain spent his extra savings for her. Lin felt happy as she got to experience new things she had always dreamed about.

Now, it was one minute until the next day, and Cain couldn't sleep. Starting at 5:00 a.m., they would begin selling the game. He needed to get there early, and he had already thought about it.

In his last life, his sister started playing the game super late. She was insignificant and died during the game invasion.

"I should buy it for my sister too… this time, everything must change," Cain thought as he clenched his fists.

4:30 a.m.

Cain knocked on his sister's door. "Lin, are you awake?" Cain asked quietly.

"Yes, I am," a sleepy voice replied as Lin opened the door in her pink pajamas.

"Good. Let's go somewhere," Cain said, holding her hand and dragging her out.

"What… brother," Lin barely managed to say as she was pulled along.

Elsewhere…

Mim was already at the place where the game capsules would be sold. "This time, I'll make sure I surpass the SSS-rank level," Mim thought with a frown.

At the Hans Multi-Universe…

Time passed quickly as the Hans kept evolving and getting stronger. Days, months, and even years passed, with the ranks being reset repeatedly, but some things never changed—like Void's rank.

HANS RANKING:

1. VOID: RANK 3

2. MARK: QUASI-RANK 3 (HALF LAW - CHAOS 5%)

3. KIRA: PEAK RANK 2

4. FENG YUE: PEAK RANK 2

5. FIRE BLADE: PEAK RANK 2

6. MARCULE: HIGH RANK 2

7. DAOISTTM: HIGH RANK 2

8. FOXY: MIDDLE RANK 2

9. LUKE: MIDDLE RANK 2

10. CHAOS: MIDDLE RANK 2

"It's been two hundred years, and I'm still stuck at the peak of Rank 2," Kira said angrily, smashing her hands on the ground.

...boom…

Everything within a million miles shook as the powerhouses frowned.

"Will you relax?" Marcule asked.

"Relax? For what? Marcule, I see no hope of breaking through," Kira said in anger.

"Kira, even your father took thousands of years to break through," Marcule sighed.

"I'm not my father, Marcule. I can't wait that long," Kira said anxiously.

"Why are you in such a rush? At least we can protect ourselves now," Marcule said, confused by Kira's anxiousness.

"Really, Marcule? Have you forgotten? There's a war going on, and we're supposed to be fighting, but Void helped us with his race. Do you think the demons can win this?" Kira asked.

"Hmm… I believe in Void. Don't you?" Marcule asked.

"Marcule, you don't know the angel race like we do. Forget the popular stories. The angel race is strong… as strong as the god's race, if not stronger. Currently, our race can't battle with them… after all, our higher-ups are at Rank 4," Kira said.

"Kira, we both know that's because your race was just born together with this universe," Marcule said.

"Yes, but still… what if Void loses? Who will protect us?" Kira asked.

Marcule frowned. What Kira said hit a nerve.

"If Void loses, I will protect us," a voice was heard as Mark appeared. Both Kira and Marcule smiled upon seeing him.

Part of the reason why Marcule broke through so quickly was because of Mark.

"For now, let's just stay low. I'll get to the peak of Quasi-Rank 3 eventually (meaning 50% Half Law)," Mark said, and both Kira and Marcule nodded.

"I hope Void can hold up until then," Mark thought with a frown.
