What was that?

"Aaaaah!" Dante yelled as he fell through an endless void.

"Ugh!" Dante awoke on the floor of the void. Standing up Dante noticed an all-white door in the distance, the door gave a faint glow, Dante approached the door, hesitating to touch the doorknob. Raising his hand to the door, he was taken by surprise due by the sudden disappearance of the door Dante turned his head to see an image that would shake him for a long while after this, he saw a creature whose body filled the void, its body seemed to be the size of several universes, and Dante still did not think that this was its actual form, the creature had two horns that surrounded his head forming a crown shape, it's skin was a blood red, it's horned a deep black it's tail could not be measured, The throne that it sat upon was just as gigantic as it was.

"You hold great promise young one, but be warned alongside creation lies destruction, alongside life lies death. You may not understand what my words hold now but you will learn of this sooner than you think, Heed my word for I am the primordia of a creation!" The creature did not raise its voice but its words shook the void to its non-existent core. Before Dante could confront the beast he was lifted out of the great void, looking down on the creature as he was absorbed into the light.

Waking up in a cold sweat Dante looked at his burning palm as he witnessed the engraving of an insignia of an infinity sign being burned into his palm.

" System, What the fuck was that?! And what the fuck is this?!" Dante questioned the system as he continued to stare at his palm.

[ Host I do not have an answer to your question ]

[ I as your system do not hold even a percent of power compared to that being that you've just seen ]

"Hm, Can I upgrade you then?" Dante asked the system as he stroked his chin.

[ Yes host, you can do anything you please ]

"Upgrade yourself then," Dante told the system as he rose from the bed trying not to disturb the sleeping baby.

[ I will do as you say, host ]

[10,000 Creation points have been deducted ]

[ Upgrade commencing ]

[ 30% ]

[ 50% ]

[ 70% ]

[ 100% ]

[ Upgrade complete ]

"I imagine that that wasn't enough to answer my questions?" Dante

[ I can answer the second question, host ]

[ The insignia on your palm is the reward for the hidden quest that you've completed ]

[ As for what power it holds, it improves the quality of all of your future creations ]

[ If the host manages to Improve this insignia there's no telling what lies ahead in terms of power ]

"I can't complain about more power, but it was eye-opening to see how much stronger that thing was, I less than an atom in its eyes,"

[ There is no need to feel discouraged host ]

[ To that being time and age are concepts that do not mean anything ]

"That old huh?" Dante said still attempting to wrap his head around the creature's daunting existence.

'Valkyries!' Dante called them telepathically, wishing to see their transformation.

'...' no one answered his call

"Hmmm, they must still be in recovery," Dante let go of the topic for now.

"Mmmh," the green-eyed beauty opened her eyes as she looked at her son, she raised her head looking around the room.

"Oh, you're awake?" Dante looked over at the woman

"Y-you bastard! Guards! hurry up and arrest this bastard, he has assaulted a member of the royal family!" Queen screamed as she rose from the bed rushing to the door to find her knights.

"Why're you screaming woman, You'll scare the kid," Dante said as he lifted the baby as the child opened its eyes.

"Gyah!" The baby gave an excited smile as he reached down touching Dante's nose.

"You're a lot touchier than Odella, how would you like to meet her, she's loud but she's a good kid,"

"Hyam?" The baby tilted his head not understanding what Dante had told him.

"Put him down!" The queen cried running over to take the baby from his hands.

Dante calmly gave her the child.

"What's his name?" Dante asked as he leaned toward the woman

"There isn't a need for you to know, you'll be killed when the guards arrive!" The Queen replied as she walked toward the door

"They're dead, no one is coming to save you," Dante said as he blocked the door with his hand slightly closing the distance between them, he lightly grasped her shoulder.

"Now will you calm yourself? My patience has run thin," Dante said as he backed away from the door.

"There's nothing that I want from you that I do not already own," Dante said as he stared into her eyes.

"W-What do you mean?" The Queen muttered as she turned her head away from the man.

"Your beloved has died by my hand," Dante gave a toothy grin as he watched the woman fall to her knees.

"N-no darling would never lose to the likes of you!" The Queen didn't believe his words as she stared at him with a furious glare in her eyes.

"How exactly do you think I spent the night in your royal chambers?" Dante said as he walked over to the woman squatting down to look her in the face.

"H-he is really de-" The Queen was interrupted.

"Yes he is," Dante answered her.

"What happened to the Valkyries? Where were they when you killed him?!" the Queen's anger was reaching its limits as got in the face of Dante.

"They watched as I gave him the choice of serving me or death. You know what he chose," Dante said as he sat on the bed.

"Those t-traitorous whores!" The Queen screamed to the top of her lungs, laying her baby down She ran up to Dante she tried to grab his collar, but after failing she punched and kicked him as many times as she could.

Her hands were bruised as she stopped the assault, she looked up at the man with tears streaming down her slightly rosy cheeks.

"What do you want from us? Why would you do something like this? The royal family has done nothing to you, we are innocent!"

The Queen pleaded with the man, as he stared back at her with a solemn gaze.

"No one is innocent. Sin is the base of all beings, don't claim to be innocent when royals are often the most corrupt. I will not blame you for your father's sins, for you hold your own, but allow me to ask a question, Why marry such a man? One who thirsts for battle, someone who will leave you in an instant to die for the thrill of it all." Dante said slowly walking toward the woman.

"He was an amazing man who only wished to protect his family!" The Queen argued as a wicked smile crept onto her face.

"He was more of a man than you'll ever be, you are naught but a beast that preys upon the vulnerable," The Queen said, her smile growing as she figured out the man in front of her.

Dante quietly stared at the woman, he contemplated killing her as well but she still had her uses. The Queen's father was the King of the neighboring kingdom, Apethicarus.

'Her status will come in handy in the future, maybe I should just kill her father as well, then I can take her mother Hehehe!' Dante thought to himself as a smile crept onto his dark face.

[ Host mind your appearance ]

'Quiet.' Dante hushed at the system

"W-why are you grinning?" The Queen's smile quickly disappeared as she backed away.

"I was just thinking, what if I killed your father and took your mother for my own." Dante relished the horrified face of the Queen.

"I'm just joking, I'll take your mother and leave your father to his devices," Dante giggled

"No, you can't touch my parents! Their Valkyries are much stronger than those bitches you've fought, and when they catch you I will personally make you wish for the sweet release of death.

"You talk rather big for someone who could be slaughtered like a lamb," Dante held his grin.

"Do it, I have nothing to live for now anyway!" She said lowering her head.

"Waaaaah!" The baby screamed as if he understood what his mother meant

"Oh, Adonis, Mommy didn't mean what she said,"

The woman quickly ran to the crying child and cradled him in her gentle arms, She apologized for her, words as the tears came back, she didn't want to depart from the child so soon, but it seemed to be her time.

"Oh, Adonis, Mommy didn't mean what she said,"

"You will to live lies within him," Dante said as he peered over her shoulder pointing a the adorable creature in her arms.

Dante leaned in placing his chin on her shoulder his head sat right next to her ear.

"Do you not wish to witness his future?" He said turning her head to face him, looking into her eyes from which a disgruntled look could be seen.

'...'The woman ignored him.

"Tch, you're stubborn as hell woman! Well, it doesn't matter, because you'll fall one day," Dante said as he had give up.
