Enter Me! The Skillionaire Says In Parentheses

In the civilization of the sun, Dorian Citadel, flocked numerous Usurpers and Warriors alike as they came and went to the facility or a place that they could call home.

Spanning kilometers in circle expansion, there were defensive arcane towers on the gigantic walls that separate the cruel world and what was within. Known for their crafting technology and rich amount of services from many business or third parties, this Citadel was mostly the go-to place for Usurpers and Adventurers to stock up their ration and equipment.

Invisible to many eyes, Ki soared the sky and gathered crucial information in anything and anywhere she goes. Using her ethereal manifestation, a deity like her could choose to hide underneath metaphysical comprehension or show herself in front of numerous people.

"So no 'marked' members of the secret organization can be detected in daylight. Weird, as if they didn't come from this world."

She decided to go back to Domeniul Ceresc again to report the finding of this mysterious force that marched behind the Citadel's back. Just as when she passed the alleyway on her way to the northeast exit of the Citadel, a boy with one horn passed her ethereal body, chased by two people with weapons.

"How dare you steal from a Usurper! Come back here you little maggot!"

"Let us end your life nice and slow!"

Ki stopped for a moment as she glanced back at the event that unfolded in front of her.

"The boy didn't have any mana, yet he managed to purloin two Hollow Orb Usurpers. Pfft!"

Ki secretly attached her protection to the boy as she was curious about what would happen. As a Vassal Deity, she got a fair share of the divinity that her Master Deity gave. Using some portion of 'divine determination' she blessed the boy with a minor encouragement from the Lesser Minor Deity of the Curse, thanks to his achievement.

She then looked at the swirling divine energy of 'death' that was looming on her portfolio. Curious, Ki also used it to have those two pursuers the 'mark of death'.

It didn't do anything significant but the divine crest that was implanted on their soul attracted numerous things that will end their lives. MF taught her to use it beforehand and it certainly did the job well when paired with her curse, though Ki decided to not waste that much for a foreign boy.

"Good luck there!" She waved before leaving the Citadel.

In the alleyway where people could stretch their arms and touch the homes on both sides, these walls were built so very long ago. They are not the straight perfection of the modern buildings in the newer areas, but each curve and flaw renders them more beautiful still.

As light shone on the path for the little boy, a man suddenly appeared in his sight at the intersection.

The boy crashed at the tall man. Lanky and pale, the man showed an awkward smile to the boy that immediately got up and ran away.

"Kids these days." Trying to sit down, he looked at the plastic bag with numerous bottles of beverages that got smashed down on the fall. He sighed at the sight. "That is mana crystals down the drain."

"Where is that hellish brat!?" One of the pursuers glanced to the left and saw the man sitting on the ground trying to light up his cigarettes.

The lanky man reluctantly glanced at them.

"Oy! You there! Do you see any boys passing through here!?"

The pale man looked at the intersection on the left where the boy had gone to. He then tried to examine the foreign individuals that looked like usurpers from their equipment and attire. Sighing again, he then pointed at the intersection on the right where it led to the market. "That boy bumped at me and gleefully broke my goodies, you two might be able to catch him if you're fast enough."

"Damn, that sucks. Thanks for the pointer!' One of the Usurpers signaled his friend. "I'll make sure to punish that boy with every pain in the world when we catch him."

With a fake smile, the pale man waved away as he gazed at those two pursuers that were getting far away from his sight by seconds.

"Usurpers are too cruel nowadays." The man took a smoke out of his cigarette before exhaling a fog of sadness from his mouth and nose. "Well, everyone is a hypocrite anyway."

Donning his permanent tired smile, he stood up and went on with his business as he traversed the maze of the alleway. Walking like everything didn't matter, the man took his time by enjoying the intruding sunlight that permeated his pale skin.

Step after step, his smile dissipated until he abruptly stopped.

"I don't like having a stalker on my throat, introduce yourself."

A booming pulse from a cracked space turned the whole alleyway into a bluish hue. As if they were in another dimension or alternate world.

Slithering out from the cracked space, was a devilish entity with a charming grin and red long hair. The appearance looked like an adult woman in a noble dress until the lower body part of her was revealed to be those of a snake.

"Toddiyan, you've been recruited by a new organization from a hijacked Primordial Realm. The contractor didn't want to say 'no' so—" The woman chuckled. "Either you die or work again like a normal day."

Unamused, the lanky man took another smoke before tossing the whole cigarette onto the floor. One more exhale to calm himself down, he stared at the woman menacingly before abruptly smiling eye-closed as he scratched the back of his head.

"Ahahah, I'm sorry beautiful miss but I think you're looking at the wrong person, I'm not Toddiyan, you see?"

"Ah? Really? If that is the case, pardon my intrusion then, mortal." The woman slithered back the space crevice before popping out her upper body, leaning forward as she gestured her hand. "Forget about this whole event, make sure you don't tell anyone about this."

"Will do!"

Everything then got back to normal. Toddiyan hummed playfully for a few steps forward until the crack came back and the whole space turned blue again.

"Liar!" Shouted the red-haired woman with her upper body popping out from the cracked space.. She then showed a scroll with a biography and drawing of his appearance as she curled her lips. "You're the very same demon! Don't you try to fool me!"
