"Oho~ The Emperor's ability is really something, to actually raise such capable steward by his side, and here we were just lacking some stewards, what do you think, Elder Moin?"
"Since His Majesty The Emperor could raise such a capable Steward, then why don't we old ones really see it for ourselves?" Elder Moin answered, his face flashing with a malicious look.
Despite facing the several complaints, threats and scolding of the large group of Elders, Steward Lou still managed to remain his calm.
"Elders, please do calm and--" Steward Lou's voice got cut off, as Emperor Clayde's figure, appeared out of the thin air, immediately garnering the elders whole attention.
"Your Majesty!" They all knelt down in a quick ceremenial bow, then throw their respective complaints in front of the Emperor.
"Your Majesty! Did Your Majesty not give one's word?!"
"What about the Runederern's Grand Prize?! The Imperial Youth in the Rudenerern all have big appetites towards treasure!"
"Your Majesty! Your word's are heavy and could only be--" As the Elders voice were consistently pouring out, it overwhelmed the whole place.
"We have not comprised such things, we merely stated that we will try. Despite this, an unexpected occurrence has hindered us to properly - the Yin Yang Mountain, as for the Ruderen Grand Prize, We will personally bestow them a skill, that we have cultivated, making those Imperial Youths from Ruderern Kingdom water in mouth." Emperor Clayde stated in one breath, not giving time for the Elders to rebut him.
"Your Maje--"
"Elder Ju, the Imperial Youths of the Runederern Kingdom have such big appetite that, the skill that We have personally cultivated is not enough to satiate their thirst?" Emperor Clayde's brows knotted his meaning clear.
'If the Imperial Youth of Runederern Kingdom's were to dis?'
""".....""" All of the elders were rendered speechless.
''''What is wrong with his Majesty? He would usually let things pass by and listen to us! Why is he berating us now?'''' The thoughts of several elders lapsed as they looked at the Emperor's cold facial expression.
'Hmmp! Since he have compromised this time, we'll let it go!' They all exchanged mental messages and have reached to a conclusion.
Emperor Clayde, amazingly made the group of elder speechless, they all left with a dissatisfied faces.

After Emperor Clayde left the room, we the shadows, entered and cleaned the aftermath. The blood that was littered just outside the room, towards the hall. The several thunks on the wall caused by rampart Qi's and several skills, which I suppose are manevaured quite crudely.
We had to clean the blood stains, repair the dents, cracks etc. etc...
From what we have deducted. it seems like Princess Phicia has recently awakened, which caused a huge confusion to us.
To think that her highness Meartle would birth to such child. Just thinking about it, it just doesn't make any sense...
With her highness' Meartle's bloodline, it is utterly impossible for her to give birth such Pureblood child.
Although we all have many questions on our head, we did not dare to talk to each other and discuss it among ourselves.
Afterall, who knows if our superiors are watching us right now? The whole room was filled with stiffling atmosphere, as our instincts that have been sharpened from the countless times we've knocked the gate of hells are shouting at us.
'They are watching us.'

-Phicia Alhine Re Moztier-
'Huh? Where am I?'
The whole space stretched into a seemingly endless crimson-blood floor. I can't determine whether there's a wall nor ceiling. I looked down on my feet, and surprisingly my whole body seemed to be in a mosaic form.
"Welcome to the tutorial mode~" A cheerful voice of a young man echoed out.
"Your internal organs, along with almost your whole mortal flesh were almost destroyed by the immense Qi of the faeri! In short, you should have died if it weren't for your bloodline!" The young man stated in a sarcastic voice.
"Now then, please do proceed, you just have to simply finish the tutorial mode!" The voice enthusiastically said.
Then the surroundings blurred as the place changed. The place was in a small village, with the villagers all being dark practitioner. And I, as the sacrifice.
Level 1, Mission: Kill all the villagers
'Huh? This is easier than I thought.'
My hands were simply tied in a crimson rope, with inscriptions on. I'm laying on a magic circle that have been maneveuring for a while now.
"Oh, Great Akashma, please take this pure soul and quell your anger." The villagers chanted again and again.
'Pure soul? Mine? My soul's pure? Lol.' I almost laughed out loud there,enough jokes.
I started ripped the ropes apart.
"Wha-- what are you doing?!" The old emaciated elder suddenly stood.
'Oh, I thought he was some kind of buddha!'
Some the villagers looked terrified as they all took a pace back, slowly retreating, while some became angry and started to shout curses at me.
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
The 10 burly man all shouted in unison as they tried to catch me, I swiftly evaded their rough and obvious movements. Then layering my hands with blade qi, I chopped the head of the first 3 burly man.
This time, all of them were shocked even the elder was stilled on his spot.
Silence.
The whole room was reigned by silence, everyone unconsciously held their breath. The situation was too much to handle for them.
*plop* *plop*
*glurg* *glurg*
The sounds of the three burly men's body slumping on the floor echoed out.
*shua*
I shook the blood out of my hands. Then looked towards the remaining seven burly men.
*swish* *swish*
Perhaps due to the shock that a little girl killed their fellow brothers in one swift movement or due to their fear, they stood there rooted on their spots.
Ding
*Congratulations! You've successfully killed 10, you now only have to kill 328 villagers!
10/338
"Aaah... aaaaaah! That girl's been cursed by the gods! We have earned the god's wrath!" The emaciated elder shouted while pointing at me.
"AaaaàAaaah!" From the emaciated elders shout the villagers all panicked as they rushed towards the stairs leading upwards.
'Like hell I would let anyone run!'
'Madness; Pear Blossom'
From below, illusory pear blossoms started to bloom. Completely confusing the villagers
"W, what is this?"
"I,its a miracle!"
"Perhaps the gods have for--"
*Maneuvering Slash*
Before they could get their hopes up, their lower half were already severed from their upper body.
"Eh?"
*fwish* *fwish*
The whole room was filled with mix of screams, cries, and pleading. The Villagers head and body parts flew, blood gushing out, some screaming in pain, some screaming in fear for their life.
The emaciated elder watched the massacre, his old body trembling in fear.
'The 'awakening's really made for mad people, huh. One could only imagine if a normal kid was placed in my current situation.' Phica thought as she continued to massacre the people.
'Huh? Then Palleo also went through this? No, the 'Awakening's trial differs on each individual...'
--
One little girl, sat on the highest sit, an emaciated elder on her foot. Her clothes were soaked in blood, while her lips were curved into a demonically cute smile.
*Ding*
*Ding*
'Hmmmm...? Where the heck are the other 10? Don't tell me--
*Congratulations, you've now killed 328 villagers! 328/338*
I've still have to find them?!... This is really a pain in the ass...' I jumped down from my spot and made my way towards the exit.
The thick scent of blood reigned the room.
'Illusion magic... Aaah, I want to learn it soon.'
The blood, people and the place seemed all realistic, but all of this are mere illusions specifically created for Re Moztiers descendants. Luc have mentioned that all tests were created varied by one's personality.
'So does this mean that they were really supposed to be this easy?' I thought so as I walked out of the ceremonial hall.
Ten little kids, raging from 7-10 ages were playing happily.
'Oh there they are, the remaining ten.'
*swish*
*swish*
Their body plopped down, as a line appeared on their neck, blood slowly trickled down on the line, their eyes were vacant.
I looked towards their 'corpse' awaiting for the notice to come up.
"Wow! So cruel! Not even a shred of sympathy is shown on your face! Are you really three years old? What are the Re Moztier's doing to kids now?" Instead of a notification that indicates that I've cleared the level, a sarcastic remark of a young man sounded out.
"Well since you've cleared the level, let us proceed to the next one~" the voice happily chided as the scenery once again changes.
2nd Level

*Ding*

*Ding*
*Ding*
*Congratulations You've entered the realm of Assassin Grandmaster*
*Ding*
Skills from her previous life was restored, and some skills were continuously ranking up.
'Hey, is this some kind of bonus point?!' Phicia thought as she kicked a hole through the head of a beast.
*splurrrrtt*
"God, that's disgusting!" She put up a barrier, as the luminosity green blood of the monster showered the surrounding.
That monster was a Minotaur. Towering over 3 meters with a head of bull and a body of ripped giant.
--
"Are you sure you're a human? You might as well be a primordial beast in disguise!" The young Man's voice once again sounded out as Phicia finished another level.
"You know what? I might be one~" Phicia grinned, tapped the ground and attacked towards an empty air.
*bam*
*bam*
"W,what!? Impossible..." A youth appeared, he looked like he was in 20's his long hair was neatly held up in knot, he was dressed in a dark brocade robe, lined with silver runes on the edges.
He landed on the floor, with his mouth wide open. His eyes were filled with surprised, fixedly staring at Phicia.
His face then turned red in anger, as his hands quickly performed a handseal.
Whilst he did that, Phicia yawned.
'Too slow bro'
*Blink*
Phicia used short distance teleportation.
*fwiish*
Phicia appeared behind him. But she just stood there.
"Hel Art's III section, Soul Burner!!"
A sphere of light came out of the young man's hand.
----
It slowly, slowly... Slowly made it's way towards me.
"Uaah.. AAaaaaaah!... Ah?" I exaggeratedly moved my hands on the air.
"What, it hasn't reached me yet?" Feeling nothing, I peeked over the sphere of light that is at least 16 cm away from me.
I walked forward to the sphere of light spread both of my hands and dramatically received it.
As the young man shouted the name, this is the infamous Soul Burner that every Re Moztier who awakens have to go through.
Fortunately I've already read this one in the book that Fidea created.
As soon as it entered my body, I quickly used my Qi to subdue the foreign Qi, then spreading it on my Qi veins to fully absorb it.
*Ding*
*Congratulations you've earned the title of 'Qi Glutton' you can now 'eat' the Qi of others*
"That was distasteful." I tapped my stomach and scornfully looked at the young man.
