The Legacy System

Almost immediately as she felt that presence she regained her composure and forgot everything that happened just a moment ago.

Nothing mattered anymore, her flustering and her hate for Eric disappeared in a second as it had never existed before.

​​

This just proved how seriously she considered the person following behind her, but there was something more in her eyes, and it wasn't fear.

It was loath, she loathed the person coming behind her. She looked like she wanted to kill him, but it wasn't an easy death either, surely she would like to kill him slowly and painfully.

Eric noticed her sudden change in attitude and didn't pester her anymore but turned to its place and waited for the guest to show themselves.

He already had his guess on the identity of his new guest. He didn't think that there would be many people that caused such a change at the girl in front of him.

Even if it wasn't the guy himself, it would most probably be some trusted aid he had. Eric was hoping to be the guy himself though.

He couldn't wait to meet him and see for himself what kind of person he was, and if there was any detection from his side. After all, Eric had what he was looking for the most.

If he did detect something and tried to attack him Eric would just use his new Escaping Talisman and leave the place, to deal later with him. At the moment he didn't have enough strength to fight him.

Not to mention that this guy was Kirigaya's blood brother and his target. He would be dead in less than a month. He didn't need to care much about him.

With these thoughts in mind, he turned towards the entrance where now was standing a tall person, clad in black just like Kirigaya's daughter.

Differently from her though the arrogance in his eyes was blinding. Most probably this guy thought that heaven and earth were created just for his sake.

His eyes were an olive color, but there was no shine in them. They had lost all the luster, and shine that normal eyes had, and his pupils had turned into vertical elliptic shape.

Those eyes gave a deep fright to everyone that saw them, as they looked even sharper than a slithering snake's eyes, but Eric was looking him right in the eyes, as soon as he arrived.

The guy was clearly surprised at Eric's action as this was the first time someone had the gall to look at him like that. And he didn't know why but he felt like he had turned from a hunter to the hunted.

He clearly didn't like this feeling, at all. He was used to and enjoyed the feeling of people being afraid of him. He basked in their fear, as those useless idiots tried to avoid him, and his anger at all costs.

Reality hadn't always been like this, around a year ago he had been nothing more but useless trash who was intoxicated from alcohol and women.

His clan hated him and treated him like the trash of the clan, as everyone who could, would only insult him from behind him.

His father and elder brother didn't seem to care about all this as they were more focused on their own lives and the clan.

Everything changed that fateful day! Like always he had been drinking all day, with a few ladies by his side, as he was trying some powder for the first time in his life.

He had officially hit a new low in his life, but he didn't care. He was destined to be useless trash in this life, he had come to terms with this.

He didn't possess any special talent to practice their clan's arts, he was average at best. At the same time, he didn't have any great will to train hard either.

Not to mention that the moment his father learned of his uselessness he immediately seemed to have erased him from his life and didn't consider him his own son anymore.

All these thoughts and reasons were pushing him to test his limits on how low he could fall, which had eventually concluded with that scene.

But before he could taste his first line, he suddenly felt a splitting headache hit his head. It was horrendous, he felt like someone was punching his brain inside his skull.

He couldn't understand what was going on as the pain increased by the moment. He felt like really soon his head would blow up in little pieces.

How could a useless alcoholic person like him bear with that pain as he thought that his death had come for him, and closed his eyes as he lost conscience!

Only for him to wake up after an unknown time in the clan's medicine hall with no wounds or problems whatsoever.

He wondered for how long he had been unconscious, but he knew he had seen the weirdest dream of his life.

Normally he would dream about his different life, where he was in his elder brother's place, and how he would live his life, but this time he had had a truly strange dream.

He had dreamed something out of those novels where the protagonist got a system to grow stronger. His system was called the 'Ninja System'.

He had dreamt about the set-up of that weird system, but the moment the set-up had been completed he had awakened from his unconscious state.

It felt really weird for some reason but he wanted to laugh at himself at those thoughts. He thought he had completely given up on this life, but this dream clearly showed he was becoming delusional.

While he was thinking like this, he heard a voice that amidst a lot of bullshit welcomed him as the new host of the 'Ninja system'!

He was baffled and left without words as he heard that voice, he thought he was still unconscious and dreaming at that moment.

It didn't make sense for something like this to exist in reality, this was supposed to be only a novel's or anime's plot. How could something like this exist in the real world? It was impossible!

And yet the reality was totally different, this was his reality now. He didn't care if this was a gift from a god pitying him, or from a bored devil who had nothing else to do.

What mattered to him was the fact that this was real, and he had been given such a great chance to totally change his life.

From that day onwards he started using his system to level up, showing a remarkable talent, stunning the whole clan, and the people who had badmouthing him all this time.

They were all thinking that their Young Master had been biding his time, and hiding his strength and talent all this time.

The problem was that they didn't know what to make of this, and how to behave from now on as they had been badmouthing him all this time.

Of course, the majority of them went with the wind, so they immediately asked forgiveness from him, as they started to treat him better like they should.

Even his father accepted his mistake and told him that he was eligible to become the new Master of the Clan alongside his brother.

All this vanity that came from his new power and talent clearly boosted his ego and arrogance, as he started behaving more and more like a tyrant with each passing day.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten his earlier dreams, habits, and plans, where the most important one was banishing his brother from the Clan and taking his wife and daughters.

He had been dreaming so long to put them under him, and show them what a true man was. He didn't care if this was because of some complex he had for his elder brother.

With these thoughts in mind, he started slowly bribing and destroying his brother's foundation in the clan while poisoning him at the same time.

When he was finally assured of success even if they fought, he went to his brother in an emotional state telling him that their father had decided for a fight to death between them to decide his successor.

He didn't want to kill his own brother so he told him that he would leave to never turn back again. Kirigaya Kaito had just learned about his poisoning when he heard that decision.

His world was shattered but thinking about his clan, and his clan's future he decided to use his brother's idea and leave the clan, so his brother became the new master.

From that day onwards had started the tyranny of his younger brother Kirigaya Endo. His word had become law, as he banished his elder brother from the Clan and accused him of betrayal.

Everything had accumulated with him thinking about the wellbeing of his elder brother's wife and daughters, and marrying them so they suffered no bullying because of his brother's betrayal.

While all this happened the people who went wherever the wind threw them supported his decision as they satisfied his ego and vanity.

While the rest tried to avoid their new Clan Patriarch while sending their families away in case that he got any idea on them, just like he had with his brother's wife and daughters.

None of them dared to oppose him as the people who tried to do that always had a horrifying ending, and none of them wanted to suffer that.

All these occurrences had created the now monster that was Kirigaya's Clan Patriarch, Kirigaya Endo. Despite knowing all this from Kirigaya Kaito's own words and memories, there was something else that caught his attention…
