Worldly Overlord

"Mom wake up please, you're all I have, please don't leave me."

Inside a mansion, a woman who looked to be in her early forties was in the bed with her eyes closed, we could say she had kicked the bucket. Beside her was a lad who was between the age of fourteen to fifteen years old.

It was raining heavily outside.....

"I see she's dead, finally. What we have to do is mold the boy into one of us."

"Dad, are you sure about this? She warned us not to bother him."

Clifford Reid is one of the most powerful men in Harmony city, with just a flick of a finger he could destroy anything that comes in his way. The man was just so powerful. Clifford was blessed with two children, which he refers to, one as the blessed child and the other as the cursed child.

Blessed child were those who came from powerful families and were capable of absorbing celestial energy through their ancestral lineage.

In the mortal world, Clifford was considered to be the 31st strongest human with a powerful ancestral lineage. In truth, that was only based on the power, he revealed to the public. No one knew how strong he really was. Those who had seen it were already long dead.

Though the Mortal World was void of both energy, it didn't mean they weren't powerful people in there. Big families and organization had their way since they knew about the existence of the underground and Demon World

At this moment, in the mansion, a man cladded in black walked in on the lad.

"Devon, your mother is gone, get up and act like a man"

The man seemed to have no emotions whatsoever about the death of his wife.

"Mom was perfectly alright yesterday, how can she die just like that, did you kill her, or did you send your men to do it for you?"

In a world ruled by strength, status, and power. The Reid Family was also referred to as the House of Sinners, this name was not known to the public, only families involved in the underground world business knew about this and called them the House of Sinners.

It was said that a look at Clifford's eye could kill someone, those who had spared with him said that they have never experienced that kind of feeling before, as he was the most dangerous person they had ever met. Powerful assassins who were ranked from 1 to 10 were sent to kill Clifford, none of them returned. It was known to families in the underground world that one can offend the world government organization president, but don't offend Clifford Reid.

Clifford looked at his youngest son and shook his head, he was supposed to be like his sister who was cold and heartless. To Clifford, that is how a child should behave.

"I killed your mother, Devon, what do you want to do about it!" Clifford said.

Luna Reid, Devon and Elyse's Mother, and Clifford's Wife. Luna had a sculpted figure which was twine thin, a pair of arched eyebrows, her eyelashes were velvety, sea-nymph ears, a shiny halo of white teeth, she had rapture blue eyes, her hair was molten red, she was extremely pleasing to the eye.

According to some reports, Clifford married her because of her beauty, and others said it was an arranged marriage. Sadly, Luna's power level remained at level 23 for over 20years, some said she was punished by the gods, others said she gave up her power for her beauty.

The matter that celestial energy existed in the mortal world was deeply hidden from those who didn't possess the energy. Mortals weren't aware of it, as the world government organizations made sure they didn't.

While for those who had it, they would choose to either go to the underground world or remain in the mortal world.

Those families with powerful ancestral lineage would also decide, even though it wasn't really necessary for them.

"I'm going to make you pay for this father, I promise you that"

Devon was no longer a kid, according to

His father was the successor of Clifford. As the heir, he started training at the age of five years old. His senses are incredible, but his body was not. Even though he trained so hard, he was not fast enough to avoid that kick.

He saw the kicking coming and knew who it was that kicked him, But he was unable to react quickly, and he was sent flying away with just a single kick.

"You were always weak and pampered by her. And you dare say you'll make me pay. That is the biggest joke I have ever heard in my entire life."

Before he could get up, he got hit again, this time in his belly. Clifford never showed mercy even to his family, well except his daughter who is his favorite.

"You're a disappointment, I feel ashamed to call you my son not to mention calling you my successor."

Devon couldn't help but think his father didn't think rationally. He tried getting up, but he got hit badly, why will someone that powerful hit his son with that kind of force.

"Idiot boy! You can't even get up, I didn't even use up to one percent of my power.

What a waste!"

After multiple research, humans in the mortal world discovered that there were only two ways to obtain these powers. The first being that one must come from a big family with a good ancestral lineage.

The second way was to be a Demon, Some Demons were once human but the power or energy they absorbed was different. Humans absorbed celestial energy, while the demons absorbed Cosmic energy.

Unlike the celestial energy where you absorb energy from the atmosphere, cosmic energy one as to absorbs a living being except you were a demon from birth.

Humans and demons were always at war. The human viewed them as a bane to the world as they stole from one of their own.

"Dad, don't waste your time on him, he doesn't deserve it."
