Everything turned dark.
Just like my future.
Alden thought.
Just then a bright light assaulted his eyes. Thankfully he closed his eyes soon so it didn't damage him.
Only after a few seconds did he open them again.
That too, very slowly.
He expected to be back in his room.
But instead.
He was sowhere else. A dark empty space.
Where the hell am I now?
Did that damn monkey ss with my teleportation?
But why was he angry in the first place?
Did he really get offended by my dance so much?
Okay, maybe that's fair.
I'd kill soone too if they did that to … assuming they weren't stronger.
Enough chit-chat.
Now we focus on where we are.
He looked around himself. Trying to make sense of where he was.
But nothing was in sight except so rugged mountains.
Just then–
Alden heard a low sound of tal.
Alden wasn't stupid enough to go in the direction of so mysterious sound.
So he was going to ignore it.
Or that is what others would have thought.
But Alden had watched enough horror movies to know that those who stay in one place being afraid of so sound are the first ones to die.
So he decided to follow the sound.
Hmm, is it coming from that direction?
He walked in that direction step by step.
In a few minutes, he had arrived in front of a mountain.
There was no one there.
Now that's strange. Or not so strange.
All horror films follow this script.
Have I been pulled into a horror movie now?
Just when Alden turned around to leave.
A voice ca.
"Why are you so impatient? At least check thoroughly before leaving." A friendly voice ca from sowhere.
Alden tried to pinpoint the voice.
"I'm here behind the mountain." The voice ca again. "Don't worry; I'm definitely not a suspicious guy ~ huehue."
It was now accompanied by a suspicious laughter.
Definitely not suspicious, my a$s.
Still, Alden decided to at least check it out.
For so reason he was confident that nothing would happen to him.
He was sure the system wouldn't have teleported him here without a reason.
He walked towards the backside of the mountain.
As soon as he arrived, a ridiculous sight greeted him.
A handso man with long, flowing white hair was kneeling on the ground.
His whole body was bound by chains, and his abyssal black eyes flashed with amusent.
Damn it…
As soon as he saw the man, Alden understood who he was.
The Demon King.
But sothing else surprised him even more.
Why the hell am I in Umbra?
Alden was panicked, but he tried to keep his face as calm as possible. But he unconsciously took a step back at that mont due to shock.
"Are you panicking? Do you know or sothing?" The demon king asked in a curious voice.
"No." Alden didn't answer much.
His mind was racing at the mont.
"No need to be so panicked; I won't eat you or anything." The demon king smirked.
"See, I am sealed; I can't even move my body from here."
He tried to move his body but was restricted by the chains. They shimred with runes Alden didn't recognise.
"I just wanted to have a chat with the third supre."
As soon as those words left his mouth, Alden's body froze.
Wh–what?
His mind short-circuited.
How the hell did he know?
"How?" The question escaped his mouth unconsciously.
"Well, I made a small deal with the system." The demon king answered.
"Although that damned system doesn't usually like so outsider interfering, it likes fair trades."
"So I just had a fair deal with it."
"I just wanted to et the other two Supres. But that damned system rejected my request."
"For so reason, it couldn't fetch the second supre. So I just requested to et you."
"It agreed… but hid all your details. I can't even see your face."
What the hell?
Deal with the system?
Is that even possible?
But thankfully it seems my face is hidden, so he won't know who I am.
The Demon King tilted his head. "You're awfully quiet for soone so important. Not even a hello?"
As soon as Alden understood he was protected by the system, his confidence increased.
"Who the fk are you? And why the hell should I even greet you, mfr?" Alden cursed like a street gangster.
Why should I give respect to so random powerhouse? Especially now that I am safe.
Bwahahahahahahah.
Witness the power of a shut-in, you ancient bastard.
The Demon King blinked, then grinned.
"That's so spicy language," he said. "Are you sure you can handle the consequences?"
The demon king released so aura to intimidate Alden, but it never reached Alden.
It was stopped cold, midair, by a divine restriction.
Seeing this, Alden's confidence increased even more.
"Are you sure you can handle the consequences of talking like that to ?" Alden frowned. "I'm leaving."
"Rude," the demon king pouted like a kid. "Here I am, sealed away for aeons, and the first guest I get in centuries is soone like you."
Alden didn't respond. He just turned to walk away, but the Demon King's voice ca again.
"Ah, not so fast, my guy. You can't leave yet."
Alden stopped mid-step. "What the hell do you an?"
"I paid for fifteen minutes of chat ti," the Demon King said casually. "And I fully intend to get my money's worth."
"You won't be able to leave this space until you chat with for five minutes."
True to his words, a system window popped up in front of Alden.
[ Ti – 14:30 Remaining ]
[USER WILL BE SAFELY TELEPORTED ONCE THE TI IS UP.]
Well, whatever, just let's get this over with.
"So who the fk are you again?" Alden asked, keeping his voice as disrespectful as before.
"Can't you talk normally?" The demon king muttered.
"Well, you can always ask the system to send back and ask for a refund." Alden replied smugly.
"Well, whatever. Let introduce myself."
"I'm—
