Demon Emperor's Rise: Becoming The Greatest Villain For My Daughter

The forest beside the Migotanie City.

One could see a small wooden shack in the middle of the forest that was just guarded by a small wooden fence. But still, no beast dared to invade it.

Inside the wooden house was Benimaru, reading a thick book while resting his face on his right hand. He was alone now because Ravenna went to take the fourth batch of Common Mana Crystal from the mines.

Benimaru had used all of this Common Mana Crystal to buy everything on the Level-1 of the shop. But he still wasn't able to buy all of them.

Benimaru couldn't help but say that. 'I guess there is no end of trash in this world.'

Benimaru knew in his heart that the things on the Level-1 wouldn't do anything when he grew stronger; maybe not even his underlings would like to use them.

But still, he was satisfied, as he bought many 1 and 2 star spells and skills for himself and his generals. However, Benimaru wasn't ecstatic when he got those; he was happy when he got the books that held various knowledge in his hands.

These books might contain basic knowledge for people of this world, but they meant a lot to him.

Benimaru first read the book that had information about this place's geology and power structure.

Firstly, he was in the EverGreen Region, and just as the name says, this region is full of greenery and is located in the south. It was common to see lush forests, warm rivers, and medium-sized mountains — the mountains of this world are much larger than on earth because of mana's influence — making it an ideal spot for people to live and develop.

Benimaru wanted to know the information for other regions, but there was none. After asking the system, he found that he could buy books containing the other regions' information in the next level.

Then he read the power structure. It was just as he guessed. It was the same as the European monarchical system. But here, if you want to get royal titles, you don't just have to have a certain amount of merit, you also have to reach a certain realm.

This book only says anything about till Viscount, but that was enough for Benimaru.

To become a baron, you need to be in the Physique Refinement Realm of the Vitality Realm or the Adept Realm of the Magic Realm.

To become a viscount, you need to be in the Bloodline Strengthening Realm of Vitality Realm or the Master Realm of Magic Realm.

'Hmm, if it is in serialized order.' Benimaru thought that because he had checked the power level book, it told him until the 4th phase of each power realm.

For the Magic Realm, it was like this — Apprentice Realm, Novice Realm, Adept Realm, and Master Realm.

For the Vitality Realm, it was like this — Health Seeker Realm, Fleshcrafting Realm, Physique Refinement Realm, and Bloodline Strengthening Realm.

Each had nine stages as minor realms, which people had to cross first to reach the next major realm.

What caught Benimaru's attention was mostly the class system.

'What kind of warrior or mage I am is decided by my use of power and its awakening. Interesting… it feels like subclasses of the main class like warrior, archer, mage, etc to make it easier to understand.' Benimaru rubbed his chin, pondering silently.

'I'm curious what class I am in.' He felt curious.

[ Host, you are a Battle Lord. Should I show it on your status interface? ]

'Battle Lord?' Benimaru raised his eyebrows. 'Sure, show it.'

Benimaru pulled his status interface out and saw his class. He clicked on it with his mind, making the information about it pop out.

[ Battle Lord: A battle enthusiast who cultivates both power systems to gain an advantage in battle through sheer power and skill differences. A class that people fear fighting against. ]

'That sounds reasonable.' Benimaru nodded his head after finding the answer to his curiosity.

'But I have to first get stronger to have an advantage.' Thinking about that, Benimaru quickly went to cultivate.

He decided to first try to break through to the Fleshcrafting Realm, because he was feeling a huge change might happen. He was confident now that he could break through because he had read about the realms thoroughly and knew what differed from others.

Vitality Realm could be called an alternate version of magic cultivation as it uses mana as an energy source. Vitality cultivators would use the mana in the air to refine their bodies according to what the realm demanded.

Now that Benimaru knew how the Fleshcrafting Realm worked, he could get to the realm easier without the help of any technique.

As usual, just as the name suggests, Benimaru just had to refine every single fiber of his flesh, but there was a catch — he couldn't make a single mistake by refining other parts of the body. If he did so, then the energy might slip through other parts of the body, like a hole created in a pipe. So, he needed a calm mind and strong mental energy.

Fortunately, it meant nothing to Benimaru. He, with peace of mind, refined his flesh, slowly yet surely, in the wooden house.

Time passed by, and it was already afternoon.

At that moment, a group of people arrived near the house, and it was none other than Ravenna, Ragnar, and the Meatscrappers. Ragnar and the Meatscrapers were carrying baskets filled with Common Mana Crystals on their backs.

"Miss Ravenna, I didn't expect we would empty the mana crystal mine in such a short time." Ragnar apologetically said this to Ravenna.

"No, no, it's fine. It isn't your fault. We will find more like this in the future." Ravenna said it with a smile that bloomed like a flower.

But the Meatscrapers, who were happy that their bad days of mining would be over, started to have chills down their spines hearing that from Ravenna, as they couldn't imagine their future.

Ragnar saw the Meatscraper slow down for some reason, so he shouted at them. "Why are you guys slacking!? Don't you dare slow us down!"

The Meatscrapers jolted back to life and started walking faster, almost overtaking Ragnar.
