Ranking System



[Charles POV]

The next day, I tried to search for Constance. Seeing that she didn't return had me all worried. She also wasn't picking up any of her communication devices.

I walked back and forth, wondering if there was a way for me to communicate with her. Nothing came to mind when I tried to think of a solution.

"Master~? Is something wrong~?"

Watching me walk in a circle, Nene asked if something was wrong.

"Constance is gone, and I don't know where she is."

"Gone? Do you have any way of finding her?"

"No, I don't."

This was why I walked around, wondering if there was a way for us to talk to Constance. Then I thought of Reina. While she can't connect to Constance, she will be the one to know if Constance has disappeared.

"Nene, I'm going to ask Reina something."

Before Nene could say anything, I had left immediately. I hope I was only overreacting, but seeing that Constance didn't return to say anything, I can't help but be worried.

"Reina! Can you see if Constance will be here at any time in the future?"

While Reina can't choose the future she wants to see, her ability will give us some idea of what is happening. Reina, without any question, did what I said.

"I see her in the future, but it will be some time before she returns."

"How long exactly?"

"At most a week."

"A week..."

It was official; something terrible had happened to her, and I needed to find Constance quickly. But how would I find her? If I think about it, Agnus was my only hope.

"Thank you for your help."

"There's no need for that. You helped me when I was in need, I had done the same."

Reina gave a sweet reply, and to show my gratitude, I kissed her on the lips. We enjoyed ourselves for a moment before I stopped.

"I'm going to meet up with Agnus. If he's busy, then I will have to find alternate methods."

"Could I follow? You need all the help you can get."

"Sure, tag along."

Reina was right. While her powers were limited, she could gather information to increase our chances of finding Constance.

I then used my communication device and tried to contact Agnus. Moments later, the call was canceled, showing that Agnus wasn't there.

"Shit..."

I needed to wait until Agnus picked up if I wanted his help, but who knew how long I would have to wait?

"Reina, we're going shopping."

"It's a date, then!"

It was sweet that Reina tried to make light of the situation, but I still felt slightly uneasy. Since it was a date, I grabbed her by her arms before Reina returned to her room.

"We're low on time. I can't have you change for hours."

"I won't take that long. You can come to my room and watch it happen."

Reina was confident it wouldn't take long but wanted to ensure I entered her room. Reina had only taken clothes she would look perfect in and was finished.

The last time we had done this, it had taken hours. What had made Reina take so long last time?

"How is it? Does this suit me?"

"You look stunning. I'm sure you will be noticed across the streets."

Reina twirled around and showed off her dress. Reina thought that I was weird for overcomplimenting her.

Anyways, ready to go out, we went out of the house and searched for a tool that allowed us to find the location of someone.

We were lucky to be in an area like this. There should be no problem in searching for what I need.

"..."

After hours of searching, nothing could be found. How was that possible? In a state of shock, Reina and I sat on a bench, with her trying to comfort me.

"Charles. I don't know what to say, but we won't be finding any items to help. My ability doesn't foresee that future."

"Then, is there any other way?"

"There should be, but we should be searching other places for that. I'm sure Constance will return safe, so don't stress yourself too much."

Having my head patted felt strange. I shifted my body onto Reina's lap, which was comfortable. I needed this since my mind was boggled up.

"Mom! Look! A shameless couple! I heard that couples that show affection should go to hell!"

"Where did you learn something like that? When we get back, I will punish you; besides, don't disturb them."

"..."

Choosing to ignore the kid's words, I rested for a brief time. My phone rang, giving me hope that Agnus had returned his call. When I looked at the caller, all my hope had died down, and I got a call from Felicia.

"Felicia, do you need anything?"

"OUR WORLD IS BEING ATTACKED! WHERE ARE YOU???"

"..."

What a terrible time to get that call. Reina's worried expression showed she knew our world could be in danger. Reina was worried about her family, which was a normal reaction for those who cared.

"All right, I will return in a bit."

"HURRY!"

I canceled the call with Felicia, and from the conversation, she sounded rushed. It was understandable, considering the dangers of an invader. Reina, who overheard everything, spoke to me.

"Charles, please take me with you."

"I can't stop you from returning. But I will let you know this. I will be taking out all the attackers. I might not be able to help you in time."

Understanding that I wouldn't be with her all the time, she nodded, still wanting to go. Without a second to waste, we went back to Earth.

[Third Person POV]

In the world of Earth, a group of men that wore cloaks were causing chaos. The vampires were doing a massacre for the enjoyment of it.

Necropolis, a faction of this world, had vampires as well. Given their race, they had been offered a chance to join.

Rejecting an offer by them has resulted in death. You really can't blame them for accepting the terms of the invaders. Besides, they would also gain the perk of having a group of stronger people protecting them.

"Boss! Shouldn't we attack a third-tier world? I heard the blood there is of vastly higher quality. We should have no trouble slaughtering these natives."

One of the invading vampires had asked a question that made the boss remember something.

"What you said was true, but our objective differs this time. The blood from this world doesn't matter. All we need to do is get our target."

"Target? Do we need to capture someone precisely?"

"Our recent member had found a piece of interesting information. This person alone could help us reach our goals in a matter of minutes."

Hearing what the boss had to say had his eyes widen. To accomplish their goals, they would have to take the lives of many—too many for anyone to count. But if they had only to capture this one person, why do the troublesome task of killing?

"Boss! I had gathered all my vampiric men. They had all agreed to join the cause."

A familiar man could be seen bowing down to this boss. Vermillion, the strongest person in Necropolis, had given up his pride and joined this cult.

The praise the man had received from the world had now turned into scorn. Whether you thought it was weird that Vermillion was considered an idol by this world's standards, he was still someone almost everyone wanted to strive for.

Vermillion's betrayal had caused the other leaders of Necropolis to lose ground, resulting in the defeat of this faction of the world.

"Excellent. Once we get back, I will recommend you for the higher position. You have talent, but it's a shame that you were born in a lower world. You won't regret joining us."

"Thank you for your generosity."

Vermillion bowed down and thanked him wholeheartedly. Seeing Vermillion's attitude improved the boss's mood by several levels.

"Ummm... Boss, I don't want to interrupt, but who will we capture?"

"His name is Charles Anderson. From our sources, he has the power to grant someone immortality. Meaning he could make blood out of nothing. He is someone who will grant us our desire."

[Charles POV]

Returning to Earth, I could see the whole world in a shit storm. Everyone was being murdered for the sake of it, and the stench of blood was several times stronger than the world I had destroyed.

What surprised me was the number of attackers that we have. There were more than a thousand, something different from the invasion the system had to offer.

Anger started to rise as I watched the place that I owned being destroyed. I didn't know where the people at my place were, but I had a shit day today.

Whoever has attacked this world, I will ensure they will suffer a fate worse than death.
