The Legacy System

Chapter 666: Another Resurgence

For some reason, the inhabitants of his city seemed to have forgotten what happened a few years back, as they had grown tired of surviving in this safe, dark, and boring hidden city.

It wasn't their fault, as these 10 years Eric had been cultivating in seclusion inside his Mansion, so they hadn't seen or experienced a lot of his bloody means.

This was especially true for those that had arrived here after the bloody purge that Eric did previously.

After all, even though Eric had been cultivating in seclusion in his own Mansion, refugees never stopped entering his place through his set-up routes.

Certainly, the ever-flowing arrival of these new refugees had started raising questions outside, as many groups were trying to understand where all these people were disappearing into.

Human lives, and more importantly the working force had become a greatly needed commodity in these times, so city lords couldn't help but pay a lot of attention to this place.

There were bound to be a few spies that were actually trying to sow discord within the place and had slowly gathered their own followers and people.

There was a big chance of these people actually thinking of turning their tails on their bosses as well, to occupy Eric's place into becoming the Leader, or the city lord.

As for being afraid of Eric's strength and means, they didn't really think much of him. To them, Eric was trying to use his resources and wealth to keep their loyalty.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let them run rampant until now! Not to mention that no matter how strong he was, he wouldn't be able to go against their numbers.

Even an elephant is nothing in front of an army of ants!

…

While the people outside were experiencing a multitude of feelings, among which was the anxiety of everything working perfectly, Eric himself was enjoying himself with his beauties.

After a few years of hard work, he had finally found the time to have a bout of a few hundred rounds with his beauties.

While he wouldn't put his hand over the fire so that they would never betray him, they had most certainly started getting closer to him emotionally.

Even Ice, who was basically just like a block of what her name suggested, had started to approach him more proactively.

He had no idea whether this was Stockholm Syndrome in action, or something else but he didn't really care about it.

What mattered was that his Harem ladies were getting closer to him and to each other. While they weren't the best of sisters they managed to tolerate each other.

Of course, there was a certain hierarchy among them, with the first being Takeshiba Aika, and Akira as her council.

Eric would have liked Akira to be in charge, as a mature and collected woman she would be the best option, but she didn't want the place claiming that she was too old and didn't want to fight these young chicks.

For that reason, Eric came up with the idea of Takeshiba Aika taking the lead, while Akira helped her as her council.

The other beauties didn't have any other chance but to accept the decision, as they steeled their resolve to one day take her place.

Eric could tell of their ambitions and desires, so with the council of Akira he decided to make a Harem Steele.

While it sounded and it was quite a bit cringe, it was something extremely necessary. The first rule of the Harem Steele was Eric and Family above all.

It would be useless to lie, upon reading that Family part, Eric felt just like that famous baldie, but that rule contained a really deep meaning.

While Eric allowed competition inside his Harem, he would never allow them to conspire with outsiders to harm each other, or him eventually.

For that reason, he had to make that extremely clear to them. But most importantly he didn't want what happened in his previous life to happen again.

This time he would make sure to pay attention to his life, and the people he had around himself. He could go through many beauties, but only a select few would have the opportunity to truly stay beside him.

This time it would certainly be different!

With these happy thoughts in his head, Eric didn't waste time before he got outside of his Mansion after 10 long years, as it was time to start the chess play.

…

The moment that the heavy doors of the biggest Mansion in the 'Nightless Stone City' opened, everyone in the city couldn't help but hold their breath for different reasons.

A few of them due to the heavy chance that had appeared in front of them, and a few more due to the terror that this City Master brought.

It wasn't like those old residents hadn't heard and known about these new upstarts, and they had even been invited with heavy rewards, but would they dare take it?

In fact, they were so terrified of Eric, that they wouldn't even dare to warn the upstarts about their foolish actions, as they just tried to live their lives and grow their strength.

Even though they had been living inside this Nightless Stone City for 10 years, none of the residents had died of hunger.

That was because the old generation would be allowed to go and hunt on a regular basis, not only to secure food but also to gain fighting experience.

With the help of his Whale, Eric could be said to be the hegemon of seas and oceans. No one knew where he was, and when he would attack, as he could travel the whole underwater world.

…

"You finally dare to show yourself, you damned tyrant! You made such heavy promises to us, only to bring us here and treat us like slaves!

You are nothing more than a piece of human garbage that doesn't deserve to live!"

"Kill him!"

"Yes, kill him!"

Just as Eric had taken a few steps forward, he was actually faced with the angry screams of a large crowd, that seemed to have taken advantage and come forward.

Most of the people in the crowd had just arrived with the rest, but a few of them were screaming derogatory, and hate chants at him.

By what was said, it was clear that whoever had set up this protest was actually trying to kill him or to be more precise, they were waiting for the crowd to stampede him. Follow current s on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

Like that, they would be killing two birds with one stone!

Eric just took a calm and natural look at the crowd, he took the sweet time to look at each and everyone in the crowd despite the chants that they were throwing at him.

"So, what you are saying is, that you want to leave this place!?"

Are you dreaming!?"

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great time and enjoy the journey so far!

I really do hope and wish that you follow me to the end of it!

Have a great day ahead!

"Yes!"

"No, you damn liar! Who would dare to step outside now? Are you trying to kill us!?"

Just by these two answers, one could tell that the crowd was separated in two. While one part truly just wanted freedom, or to at least taste freedom, the other one had its motives clear.

Who would be so foolish as to want to leave this safe heaven that had food, clothing, and great commodities, for the outside world where ruled by the law of the jungle!?

Certainly not them!

In fact, what they wanted was completely the opposite, they wanted control and rule of this underground city, while Eric either died or disappeared.

"Let me get this straight, you don't want to leave my place, but at the same time you don't want to obey the rules of my place!?

Are you dreaming!?"
