The Legacy System

Entering inside the house, Eric went directly to his private room and sat down in the lotus position, to meditate and cultivate.

Today had been a truly fruitful day, as everything seemed to go according to his plan, and he had lied down the foundation.

​​

All he needed to do now was to start recruiting as many people as he could and then train them into his perfect soldiers.

But still, his main priority was increasing his own strength, no matter how powerful of an army he had, if he wasn\'t strong enough himself, they were just like the poor man\'s jade.

For that reason, he immediately sat on the ground and started cultivating slowly, the Exp he gained was slowly increasing even though his level didn\'t change.

His vessel wasn\'t good enough for the level to increase, and he needed to train harder physically as he used the Body Tempering Liquid at the same time.

Time slowly passed by, as he cultivated and meditated in there, and when he got up from his position he could see that the sun had started to show its presence on the outside world.

He had been like that for more than a few hours already, even though for him only a few minutes had passed at best.

That didn\'t matter right now, as he was already used to it. So, he just got up stretched his body one or two times and checked the whole house with his spirit sense.

Everyone seemed to be sleeping in their positions at the moment, as one of the siblings was keeping watch at the door outside.

Tatsuya Minami had clearly cried her heart out during this time, as she finally seemed to have been tired enough to sleep.

Akira and Mina were just waking up to do their morning drill, while Tina was still sleeping without a care in the world.

She seemed to have accepted her fate, and not oppose anymore, as she had turned into some kind of docile cat.

But that was only on the outside, as inside she was definitely not accepting this. In fact, the truth was that she was trying to play the good girl as she had already a plan with Shiro.

Certainly, unbeknownst to her that Shiro was his slave, and that he could do nothing without his permission.

He hadn\'t messed with her in a while now, as he had had a lot of important things to take care of, and he didn\'t have much time, but really soon he would have to show her that she was being punished, and not awarded.

Things were bound to be weird today, especially with what happened when he returned, but there was nothing he could do about it now, as everything depended on her reaction.

One thing was certain though, he didn\'t plan on giving up on her. He would try everything he could to keep her by his side.

As he was thinking like this, he opened his Smartphone, took a look at the messages he had, and just like he expected the first message was from Daisuke.

He was letting Eric know that he had done everything according to his instructions. While the two men weren\'t dead, they were in a state that they would wish to be!

After everything was over, he had sent the duo in front of a hospital and left the scene. Later he had confirmed their survival, and also their \'well-being\' and immediately reported to Eric.

Reading this message Eric couldn\'t help but show a satisfied smile on his face, as he was thinking that things would be getting better, and more interesting from now on.

There was also a message from Takeshiba Aika, reporting on what had happened in the family today, and her approach on her mother, and big sister, also to her sisters-in-law.

While everything was just perfunctory greetings, and baseless talks, she had managed to plant on them the idea of a meet at a later date.

At the same time, she was trying to figure out their preferences, likes, and dislikes to make his work in subduing them easier.

He had to accept that his decision to make her his slave had been a truly good decision, and that she was really a great help to him. If she continued like that, her position would slowly increase in time.

The third message was from Shiro, he was reporting that his duty was going as per schedule, and really soon they would have the first wave of recruits, as he was also looking for some Masters.

While Eric needed to train a powerful army, he couldn\'t be around all the time himself, and try to teach, and educate them.

For that reason, he needed Master, and Great Masters to teach these guys the basics, as he would later prepare for better instructors, and evens select a few as his personal disciples.

The next message was from Master Ito, informing him that everything he had instructed had been taken care of and that he was waiting for further instructions.

Even the next message was the same, but this one didn\'t have a name registered to it, as it was only a few stars, but Eric was clearly more pleased by this message than the one from Master Ito.

The last and final message was from his new secretary, who was reminding him of the ceremony for today, as he was officially being presented as the Vice-President of the Takeshiba Companies.

It was clear that for such an important position a large press conference and a large party were needed, even though Eric didn\'t like it, he had to go.

He was the protagonist of the party after all, so if he wasn\'t there, then people would get offended, and start gossiping about him everywhere.

But that was all for later, right now he just placed his Smartphone inside his back pocket once again, and left the room to join the other two ladies for the morning drills.

Even though he had become really strong, he didn\'t dare to slack off with his physical training. First, because that mission and its warning were still valid.

Secondly, because he was lacking in the physical aspect to level up, and while the Body Tempering Liquid was a good remedy for that, he still didn\'t want to slack off, and work hard to reach the top.

If there was one thing that he had understood in his previous life, was that even luck had to be searched for, and it could take one up to some point, but hard work, training, and cultivation were irreplaceable.

If one wanted to reach the top he needed perseverance, hard work, and an indomitable spirit. If one failed to have either one of these three basics, then they were cursed to not reach far.

Fortunately, Eric didn\'t miss any of these three, as even his revenge was a big fuel tank for him to try and reach for the top.

While most of his targets were really weak now, and he could treat them like a headless chicken on his plate, there was one enemy that would see him like a headless chicken, the Immortal World.

The reason why those guys were doing all this was on his hands, so willingly or unwillingly he had become the biggest enemy of the whole Immortal World.

There was no possibility of taking it off and giving it to them either, as that thing had merged with his soul, only his total disappearance would remove that Divine Artifact from him.

How could he accept such a thing, the primary instinct of any human being was survival, and he wasn\'t different, not to mention that in his case was total extinction.

He wouldn\'t even be able to enter the Yellow River, or eat aunt Meng\'s soup, and be rewrought to existence once again.

If he didn\'t want that, then he needed to confront the whole Immortal World, but to do that he needed to have a strong army, and be the strongest himself.

Even a colony of ants could trample an elephant to death, so thinking about confronting the whole Immortal World by himself was nothing more than the biggest stupid idea of the biggest idiot.

He was able to finish with his training drills in two or three hours, as the ladies hadn\'t been able to last as long as he did.

Still one would be able to notice their physics getting better, as they were even building up a bit of muscle structure.

When he had first seen this, he had thought that they would turn into some exaggerated bodybuilders, and would totally lose their beauty, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

But luckily the Body Tempering Liquid took care of that, and their muscle structure was refined at its best, as what they gained went into the quality and not quantity.

This certainly left him really satisfied and happy when he noticed, as his infernal drive was saved, and he would be able to keep going with them as much as he liked.

Returning to the present, he threw all these thoughts to the back of his head, as he started walking towards the house.

Tatsuya Minami was still sleeping, while Inuhara Hina seemed to be deeply thinking in her own room, so they kind of postponed that weir encounter they should be having.

Eric didn\'t say anything about this, as he just enjoyed the breakfast with the ladies at the table, and then prepared for the day.

This was the day he was going to be presented as the Vice President of the Takeshiba Company, so he wore a classic and elegant suit that made him look like a true Gentleman Young Master.

Whoever looked at him would not recognize him immediately, that including even the people at his engagement party.

Even the two ladies that helped him dress were standing at the side with stunned faces, at how handsome Eric looked. Giving them both a confident smile, he left the house towards the Company…
