Chapter 11

[After a weak from Chamber of Awakening]

He found out 5 very weak people and then placed them under genjutsu and got them to sign the contract that he had prepared earlier which stated that he would get their VIP store coupon in exchange of 11 VIP competence potion for each person.

He made them think that they signed it on their own accord then he ripped of the parchment while they were holding each others hands the location they were teleported to was in the middle of a dense forest.

His eyes took in the majestic sight of a magnificent yet absolutely huge mountain range. The cliffs seemed so precipitous and stiff as if they were expertly cut and shaped by a heavenly carving knife; the highest peak couldn't even be seen, as it was shrouded by thick clouds.

Things got worse, though.

He also could spot countless structures and defensive walls built in and around the mountainside, and they all seemed incredibly sturdy to him, making him truly appreciate the impossible nature of this mission.

[What an insolent little human you are! Ohohoho!]

A high-pitched but rather alluring voice of a female suddenly rang around the air.

Lucifer quickly looked around his surroundings as confusion dyed his expression. He couldn't see or sense anything around him, yet…. What just happened?

He recovered his wits and hurriedly pulled the ring on his finger and transformed.

[I can't tell what foolish thoughts led you to this place, But! As a Guardian, I can not sit idly by and simply watch your insolence!]

[The punishment for intruding upon this holy site is your death what!!!?]

"Who said that you can kill me listen carefully there are many beings out there, angels, devils, gods, humans, monsters, but i am a human who is at the peak of all the humans"

"Listen carefully the name of the person who freed you out of your small hole and allowed you to witness the vastness of this world and also the power of the person who stands above everyone else Bow to the mighty Lord Lucifer Morningstar"

[Invincible] [Cruel Sun]

[W, what do you think you're doing, human?!]

The voice became urgent as this unexpected event continued to unfold.

Unfortunately for the owner of the voice, the actual spell hadn't even begun yet.

It was as if thousands of volcanoes had erupted simultaneously and even the ground started melting and it was then that the figure finally felt fear but it was too late as the attack had already been launched and by the time he could think he had already disintegrated with all the surroundings present there.

[You have successfully cleared the 'Impossible' difficulty mission.]

[You have received one One-time use VIP coupon.]

[172,800 Survival Points have been accredited to you.]

Lucifer noticed a small piece of paper resting on his chest. And it was the one-time use VIP store coupon. It was only then he realized that he had succeeded and after putting back the ring and taking the coupon from the other 5 people and also the SP he ran towards the VIP store and was greeted by the same lady that greeted him during his earlier visit.

He then suddenly ordered her to bring all the goods that were present on the pamphlet.

1. Ambrosia: 30,000 SP each, x2

2. Pneuma's Sky Boots: 50,000 SP per pair, x1

3. Moirai's Souvenir: 600,000 SP, x1

4. Miyal's Branding Iron: 100,000 SP, x1

5. Divine Elixirs: 30,000 SP each – Strength x1, Endurance x1, Agility x2, Stamina x2, Magic x1, Luck x3

6. The Divine Stigmata: 300,000 SP, x1

7. The Seed of the World Tree: 400,000 SP, x1

8. Sidus's Divine Strength: 80,000 SP, x1

9. Aphrodite's Sedge: 150,000 SP each, x5

10. Psychi's Tears: 250,000 SP, x1

He then used his 6 coupons on item no. 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 and then used the remaining SP for item no. 1(x2), 2, 5 (x10), 8, 9 (x4) whichhad a grand total of 1,060,000 SP And he still had 25,000 SP still left so he then bought the remaining 59 VIP Competence and after he had completely emptied the VIP store he left for his room and after going inside he entered his sub dimension and after hearing the report he was completely shocked that they had actually produced nearly 500 bottles of competence. He then went towards factory when he heard the sound of Diablo inside his head

"My lord we have already produced 529 Competence potion and are in process of producing more also they are 4 times more potent due to the environment being rich in mana"

"Nice diablo just what i had expected from you now i have also brought you some more things to produce so do scan them and get their production started ok"

"Yes my lord"

I then exited my subspace and went to take a deep sleep as tomorrow i shall move out of this place and head towards the kingdom of Haramark so as to get myself a deal with the princess as cinzia as my backing and get myself the beauty Teresa Hussey.

[Next Day]

I go towards one of the maids and ask for her permission to leave the neutral zone she nods and tells cinzia about it who goes there and announces that Lucifer Morningstar is leaving the Neutral Zone and as everyone might have thought (including the readers) no one created to much of a commotion about their bet as everyone had heard all the shop owner's and even the maid's say that how cinzia lost the bet and how they lost such a handsome man as a pet.

While all the men who heard this couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spine while all the women sighed aas how their prince charming had prevented such a fate so as to not fall in the hands of these maids.

After exiting the Neutral zone he directly took a coach to Scheherazade by travelling through Zahrah he then entered the area used for teleportation there his level was checked and deemed to be a level one then he asked for the storage service as it was his first time using it they explained to him clearly.

He then entered the storage with the number 7 and left behind a bottle of competence and kept rest of the things inside his subspace and then left the storage.

He then gave them his co ordinates and teleported back to his apartment that he had bought for him with his own hard earned money.

He then spent some time with his mother and father then returned to paradise as it was about time and he was going to the forest of denial for the tomb of the saintess and will also get some shadows for myself.

He walked while looking around and eventually arrived at the South gate.

There was a huge open stone gate, and next to it, stables and horse-pulled carriages.

Lucifer started walking over to a man lying on a stack of hay while chewing on a grass stalk near a 'carriage'.

"Hello, there."

"Mm?"

The man was staring at the heavens with a bored expression, but as soon as a shadow loomed over him, raised his upper body right away. He was a local, with bronze-colored skin, a mustache, and somewhat disheveled hair.

The number of the Paradise's original residents had decreased considerably ever since the war broke out, but still, there were quite a few that had survived. With the exception of those who directly participated in the military affairs, most of the residents who had lost their homes carried on living while getting involved in the Earthling's activities, such as farming or operating various shops, etc, etc.

For instance, this man here – after evacuating to Scheherazade, he switched his job to a wagoneer to make his ends meet.

"You an Earthling?"

"Yes, I am."

"Where do you want to go?"

"To the city of Haramark."

"Haramark?"

The previously-disinterested expression of the man crumpled in an instant.

"No good, then. I only go as far as to Zahrah."

"Why?"

"Because, it's uncertain, that's why. You don't often hear the news of an attack taking place on Zahrah road, but the Haramark road on the other hand…."

The man slowly shook his head and his large hair, and then….

"Anyways, you say you want to go to Haramark, huh?"

"That's correct."

"In that case, wait for a bit. Oi~ii! Maktan!"

As soon as this guy raised his hand and shouted out, a bald man sitting a bit of distance away from them turned his head around.

"Why are you calling me? I'm about to set off."

"You have a spot left?"

"There will always be a spot left."

"Very good. This fella here, he wants to go to Haramark."

The man named Maktan showed some irritation as he walked closer, before he started studying Seol Jihu.

"You must be an Earthling."

"Of course he is. Can't you see that? You really need to ask?"

"Shut up. I heard you ask the same question earlier on, okay?"

Maktan's tone was curt, causing the man with the unkempt hair to chuckle out in embarrassment.

"I'll calculate your fee separately, okay? 30 copper coins to Zahrah, but if it's to Haramark, then 300

copper coins up front."

The price jumped by ten times in a single breath. Maktan continued to study the Earthling youth in front of him before adding a few more words.

"Hmm…. But, if you're willing to work as a mercenary, then I'll halve your fee to Haramark."

"A mercenary, is it?"

"To guard the wagon as a guard. I know many safe paths to that city, but I get attacked two, three times out of ten."

He nodded his head and loosened the mouth of his bag. If there was an attack, he'd not be able to stand still and watch, anyways. In that case, might as well make it cheaper for himself.

When he opened the money purse, a handful of coins emitting silver luster revealed themselves. There were some nickel and many copper coins present inside it.

The basic currency in circulation of Paradise were the copper coins and the nickel coins. 100 copper coins were worth a single nickel coin.

Above that, there were the silver coins. A single silver coin was worth 1000 copper coins or ten nickel coins.

Above that were the white silver coins, gold coins, and even platinum coins.

Lucifer gave him 2 nickel coins and maktan then returned him 20 copper coins, he raised his head up and looked at the sky. The sun was about to touch the middle of the heavens.

"If I push hard, we might reach Zahrah before the end of the day."

"What about from Zahrah to Haramark?"

"If everything's smooth and trouble-free during the trip, two days. If we're unlucky, be prepared to spend four nights outside."

"Four days…."

"Let's get going. I was going to set off right away."

Maktan lightly pushed the back of Lucifer.

"By the way, it hasn't been that long since you got here, right?"

"What gave you that idea?"

"There ain't a lot of Earthlings who reply to us politely like you, you see."

Maktan sheepishly scratched his philtrum for a bit, before lightly slapping Lucifer on the shoulder.

Fortunately there were no attacks and they easily reached Haramark in just three days of travelling. he then went towards an inn near the famous 'Eat, Drink And Enjoy' bar and got himself a special room that costed him 50 copper coins and rested there for a full day.
