Chapter 146: Cliché Transmigration be like
--- Chapter 146 ---
"HAAAAAAA..."
A long and tired sigh escaped Huo Yuhao's mouth.
After listening to the Damian(Butler's name) story about Theomars von Admante, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh at this ridiculous yet cliche scenario.
Simply put, Huo Yuhao was "forcibly." transmigrated to Theomars von Admante's body, the seventh young master of the Admante Family. A former genius and now trash that got his "Devil Source." crippled by the monster race.
Theomars was a disappointing disgrace that the Admante family banished him to this lonely castle on the edge of Clove Continent, fending against a low-leveled monster race.
Apparently, Theomars died after going through the "Devil Berserk." state and allowed Huo Yuhao to inhibit his body. Of course, Evo stated this was nothing but a replication of this world's history.
[Do you want to receive Theomars von Admante's Memory?]
[Yes/No]
"Damian, can you give me a day to digest this information?" Huo Yuhao stared at the butler.
Damian nodded and responded, "It seems everything is alright besides the amnesia part. Young master Theo, please don't hurt yourself."
Watching Damian leave, Huo Yuhao flopped on the bed and told Evo to transfer Theomars's memory to him. He closed his eyes and immersed himself in 18 years of memories.
A small star called Titania is no different than Earth at first glance, except for its size. Titania is three times bigger than Earth and contains a rich resource for any living being to live in it.
Devil Race(Kroman) has lived in Titania for 15.000 years and developed several empires. These empires are friendly with each other because Kroman has a common enemy, Monster Race(Siluman).
Theomars stayed in Karuta Empire and were part of the Admante Family, one of three founder families. The other founders are the Narmos and Kemos Families.
Admante Family is a former Devil Clan with Ancient Ink Devil's bloodline flowing inside them. They have been regarded as the most influential devil warrior-producing family, possessing seven 9th Class Devil Warriors (Title Douluo).
And this castle's name is Black Pearl, a banished palace for trash.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and released another sigh of frustration because this Emergency Quest won't be over soon.
"Sister Daydream?"
"Bing Di?"
"Teacher?"
[The system has blocked all communication to the homeworld and people related to it] Evo notified Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and whispered, "This will be a very long and boring Quest."
"Anyway, let's start fixing some shits."
He sat on the bed and used Universal Breathing Technique, feeling Inner Energy flowing into his body. He breathed in, changing Theomars's body for the best and discovering this guy once had two hearts.
The Devil Race(Kroman) is not much different than humans in the Douluo Dalu's universe outside and inside. However, they have two hearts, making them have two lives essentially.
And the extra heart is called the "Devil Source.", an organ where Inner Energy is gathered and cultivated to reach a higher stage. The energy then circulates to the whole body, achieving the complete cycle of Devilication(Bloodline activation).
As for the Cultivation Realms.
There are nine realms for Devil Warrior, with three minor completions for each breakthrough, similar to Douluo Dalu's Universe. The people here used Low, Mid, and High for the completions. It applies to technique mastery too.
Ah yes, Monster Race ambushed him and destroyed Theomars's Devil Source, destroying his cultivation. It was supposed to make him unsuitable for training inner energy anymore, but Universal Breathing Technique was working better with one heart.
'Having two hearts will be such a drag...' Huo Yuhao commented while washing his body with Inner Energy. A ripple began to stir in his soul and flooded everything.
[Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves has reached Level 2]
Huo Yuhao reformed Theomars's body to his main body, adapting to Titania's environment. He breathed out and released black smoke from his mouth, pushing black mucus(impurities) out of his body.
The next morning.
Damian worriedly waited outside his young master's room and felt nervous because the young man had lost his memory. The door was suddenly opened, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar-looking youth.
"Y-Young master??"
A fair-skinned youth with lustrous black hair and rich brown eyes stood before Damian. He stood over 183 centimeters, wearing tattered pants and a loose robe that revealed his lean physique.
"Clean my room and prepare a nutritious breakfast. After that, bring it to the training ground." Huo Yuhao ordered Damian and walked away.
"Eh..." Damian was speechless because the young master had returned to normal. Yes, Theomars von Admante is a fast-spoken person who uttered his thoughts honestly.
Huo Yuhao's Observation and Conqueror's Haki haven't changed much except for how long he could use them, but Armament Haki will be a vital ability. Devil Warriors fought with their bodies, after all.
He entered the Training Ground and noticed how barren it was. He smiled and tried to use Primordial Rune but failed because this world wasn't compatible with it.
No Runes.
No Magic.
'I can only use pressure points, huh?' Huo Yuhao pressed several points in his body and felt his movement restricted.
"Oh wait, I can also try this."
"Gathering of Ten Thousand Waves: Body Refining."
"Tempering and Strengthen Body with inner waves."
Huo Yuhao began to do the necessary exercise and manipulated his body for three hours straight. He wanted to mold this physique, preparing for the incoming Monster Race's attack.
"Evo, show me the timer of the Monster Race's attack."
[You have 12 hours left]
[11:59:59]
Damian entered the Training Ground and was dumbfounded to sense Inner Energy from his young master's body. "H-How... He shouldn't be able to train Inner Energy anymore. Yet, this heat and quantity." He mumbled to himself.
"Young master reached 1st Class Devil Warrior again."
"How??"
"This is madness?!"
Huo Yuhao heard Damian's shocks and chuckled as Spirit Circuits would make his cultivation grow faster, but he needed Primordial Rune. Anyway, Universal Breathing Technique is more than enough for now.
"Don't stand there like a fool, Damian. Give me breakfast." He casually commented while cooling off his body,
Eating this world's food for the first time was definitely a new experience for Huo Yuhao. Still, it doesn't hinder him from reviewing the abilities he could use in this Emergency Quest.
[Darkness Manipulation]
[Death Manipulation]
[All-Transforming Ink]
Darkness and Death Manipulation are not very hard to understand for Huo Yuhao because he possessed Asborn's Spark(Incomplete Version) for more than four years.
He has comprehended them for a decent amount of time, trying his best to uncover Darkness and Death. Darkness is a little easier, but Death is somewhat awkward.
Death was silent. Death was immutable. Death was the end of one's cycle of life.
All things in existence only left behind one thing in the end. That was "nothing.".
If a Life was born, Death naturally followed.
Death was the home to which all life returned. When a person died, they would return to dust. When a universe decayed, it would get annihilated into nothingness.
No life could live forever.
Even a great race had their prosperity and decline. Even a universe was born and eventually destroyed.
Scathach once muttered to him, "Yuhao, being Immortal is boring. Being immortal only makes me want "Death." even more. Can you give "Death." to me?"
Huo Yuhao killed Scathach once and sent her to the afterlife, which she described as comforting and quiet but boring as fuck.
"What a funny description." He couldn't help but chuckle in amusement.
However, thanks to Scathach, Huo Yuhao could improve his Shadow Army even further.
Combining Darkness and Death, Huo Yuhao created Eternal Shadow and "Loyal Subordinate." bound to his life(Shadow), a cheap copy of Shadow Monarch's ability to turn dead into his army. Nevertheless, his shadow general could become stronger rapidly.
As for the All-Transforming Ink.
He doesn't know.
This is the newest ability Huo Yuhao obtained.
[Name: All-Transforming Ink]
[Grade: F]
[Description: A flexible black substance that could transform based on one's will]
"..." Huo Yuhao.
"Why am I not even disappointed?"
He tried to use All-Transforming Ink and noticed a black ink starting to drop from his left hand's index finger.
"R-R-Royal Blood..." Damian's jaw dropped.
"Y-Young master-! I mean, your highness. When did you awaken your bloodline?" He asked immediately.
Huo Yuhao tilted his head and replied, "I don't know... Last night? I had a dream about getting drowned by ink."
Damian's expression hardened when hearing that, asking some questions to Huo Yuhao before closing and opening his mouth like Koi. He looked at the ink on Huo Yuhao's finger and kneeled on the ground.
"May the Royal Ancestor bless Theomars von Admante!"
"Your highness, please accept my pledge of allegiance to you!"
"Uh, sure." Huo Yuhao replied while drinking milk. He doesn't care about subordination because everything will go when he protects the castle and slaughters the monster race.
'They'll be useful in the incoming war, I suppose?'
Then, not too long after, every person in this lonely castle went to his room and pledged their allegiance to him.
Coincidently, Royal Blood or Black Blood is a sign of the Karuta Empire's True Ruler. What a nice freaking coincidence.
[Karuta Empire fell before the rightful owner showed its glory. That's what happened in the past] Evo answered Huo Yuhao's confusion.
[With your awakening, the war between Monster Race and Devil Race will be even. It's ironic, considering the Monster Race caused all of this by ambushing Theomars von Admante]
"So you mean, what doesn't kill me, make me stronger?" Huo Yuhao commented while sitting on the window frame of his room. The window is wide enough to fit him.
He looked at this world's sun and added, "What a beautiful golden glow, reminding me of Ying'er."
This loneliness is eating him slowly.
Annoying. Yet, Huo Yuhao couldn't do anything about it.
"Evo, I have guessed the answer, but Can I take items from my Inventory?" A weak smile plastered Huo Yuhao's face.
[No] Evo flatly answered.
[The System has frozen All-Items related to the homeworld]
"This Quest..."
"Whatever, but I can still use inventory, right?"
[Yes]
"Good." Huo Yuhao sighed in relief.
Believe it or not, Huo Yuhao doesn't want to carry a spatial bag everywhere(this world has one). It is just vulnerable.
Huo Yuhao enjoyed the noon while using Universal Breathing Technique to increase his inner energy potency. He also reached 2nd Class Devil Warrior, expanding his energy pathway and boosting his physical strength.
"Hmm?"
Huo Yuhao's Observation Haki detected something approaching the Black Pearl Castle. He looked up and saw a massive eagle hovering in the sky.
The eagle landed in the garden inside the castle and revealed a group of people. A young woman with silky white hair and beautiful bronze eyes jumped from the eagle and stared at Huo Yuhao. She's a young beauty with charm one could have once in a thousand years.
Huo Yuhao stared back and smirked at her, making the young woman ashamed and blushed slightly.
"And here we are, the cliche fiancee." He whistled while waiting for Damian's entrance to his room.
Damian ran to his room and reported, "Y-Your highness, T-The Crown Princess Terresa de Kemos is here!"
Huo Yuhao shrugged, "Yeah, yeah. I know."
"Just let them wait in the main hall."
He jumped from the window and dropped to the training ground, grabbing a wooden staff to beat some people later. He walked to the main hall and saw the Crown Princess with her followers.
"Greetings, Crown Princess." He smiled while bending his body a little. It's far from enough to be considered a bow.
Terresa nodded and replied, "Nice to meet you, Theomars-!"
"Stop, princess! Let me talk!" Someone suddenly interrupted, as Huo Yuhao expected.
A blond-haired young man named Gale Narmos, the heir of the Narmos Family. He's 18 years old, like Theomars and Terresa, but more arrogant even with both of them combined.
"I'll set this straight, Trash." Gale glared at Huo Yuhao.
"Princess is here to annul your engagement with her."
"Sure." Huo Yuhao replied casually.
"A TRASH LIKE YOU-! Wait, what??" Gale and everyone in the room was speechless. Even the Crown Princess couldn't help but cover her little mouth in disbelief.
"Yeah, you heard that right." Huo Yuhao lazily yawned.
"Let's annul this cliche engagement trope."
