Ashii, when reading the same journal book late at night, flipped to the introduction of demons. Demons are the enemy of all creatures. But anyone could turn into a demon, whether by choice or unknowingly. She also glanced at several tattoo marks that demons leave on their prey. The mark determines their identity and rank in the demon society.
A pierced heart tattoo represents love demons. They consume the life essence of their prey during sexual intimacy. But they are the weakest in the ranks and the most populated. The color at the center of the tattoo, looking like a small gem, indicates their strength.
Purple - Peak
Blue - Mid
Red - Low
White - Level entry
Among the tattoos, the crown is categorized as the strongest. These demons are considered demon gods. They have already achieved immortality and can live without consuming life essence or eating. But most of them live in secrecy, an ordinary life far from the intrigues of human society.
When Ashii saw the drawings of the demon's marks, she suddenly thought about the man Alysa had last kissed in the dark corner. He had the same mark on his hand while he held Alysa's neck to support them when kissing. She also caught a glimpse of the same mark on Alysa's chest since it was bare to the public.
Alysa's legs were snaked around the guy's waist. They could be doing it in public, sex in the dark corner of the staircase. If the identity of the person matches, it is not impossible to rule out that he died after Alysa absorbed his life essence.
Ashii flipped more pages till she reached the image of the golden cup.
She touched the image, and something about it attracted her interest. She touched the image of the golden cup in the book a few times more, then a letter suddenly fell from the book.
Where did this come from?
She opened the letter and read it.
Huh?
There are thirteen golden cups scattered around the world. These thirteen cups represented thirteen immortal districts. Immortal districts contain treasures graced with divine power. A person possessing a golden cup would become an immortal after inheriting the inheritance inside the immortal district.
The demon society holds three golden cups. The supernatural society holds six golden cups. And the human society holds four golden cups. The goal of the demons is to retrieve the golden cups and rule the world. They have been hunting people and families who could possess the cups or clues about them.
The Palma family has been involved in guarding one of the five cups. For generations, the leaders of the Palma family knew the whereabouts of the cup, and no accident has ever occurred while they were keeping it safe. The current patriarch, Noah Palma, was in seclusion, so the demons had no choice but to chase his heirs.
Among the families, the Jing family guards another cup. Xevendore, Gremorin, and Alcovia also guarded the remaining cups. But these families were top families and very strong in the supernatural society. It was not so easy to attack them. Demons were having difficulties chasing clans with several competitive heirs and leaders.
Ashii understood more and more about the things around her.
"Will Alysa attack Sky in the future?"
Ashii had never seen Sky fight, but the aura around him made her feel kind and dangerous at the same time.
Why do I feel hungry at this hour?
Ashii went downstairs to get some food, then she headed back to her room. The house was relatively quiet, as if the drop of a pin could be heard. She glanced at the windows and saw nothing but the midnight sky. The stars were shining so bright.
When Ashii peeled one of the apples, she accidentally cut her hand. Blood dripped on the page where the golden cup was drawn. There was so much blood that she panicked and wanted to wipe the page. She was afraid of damaging the journal because it was preserved well.
Something magical happened to the page.
She was suddenly sucked into the journal book.
Where am I?
She was inside a room, and a golden cup was floating in the middle.
Due to curiosity, she went to touch the floating golden cup.
[Congratulations! Immortal District XIII is activated!]
"Huh? Immortal District XIII?"
A blinding light occurred, and it made Ashii close her eyes.
A surge of energy entered her body. She felt a different kind of warmth. And when she opened her eyes, everything around her felt unfamiliar.
She stood in the middle of a grass field. The field was so wide that she couldn't see the end. She also saw an ordinary house. When she entered the house, she saw different jade tablets, comparable to those she had read in fantasy novels.
"What is this place?"
Ashii touched one of the jade slips.
An introduction appeared in her mind.
Immortal District XIII is a farming space. The owner can manipulate the space depending on her will, but to unlock several jade slips in the inheritance, one must learn farming and grow plants inside the space.
Ashii was not aware that she had caused commotion in Zenea City.
The thirteenth golden cup pillar suddenly surged with strong energy fluctuations, which alarmed several elders in the Supernatural Aenez Guardian Council. The guards received an order to heavily guard the pillar as someone had succeeded in awakening its power. Everyone was waiting for a symbol to appear.
Thorns indicate demons. Wings indicate supernatural beings. Crowns indicate gods. And books indicate humans.
Everyone waited patiently, but no mark appeared.
"Did the summoner die?"
"The mark did not appear!"
"Did someone kill the summoner?"
"Can we locate the summoner?"
They wanted to find the summoner of the Immortal District XIII, but they had no clues. The pillar was shining brightly, and it had completed the inheritance leveling. The stability shook the hearts of many. They did not know the identity of the summoner.
"Find the summoner at all costs!"
"The summoner of the thirteenth pillar will possess the pillar's mark. Check everyone!"
