My World Traveling System: The Harbinger Of Death

-----

Dan provoked Orb as he made her rage in anger, he wasn't underestimating her. He could clearly feel her presence, she was strong. Despite that, his strategies in battle usually were a lot about slandering others and provoking them to fight, this was the best way for his ability to actually work after all.

Frank noticed this as he couldn't help but grow angered, a calm, and silent anger that was directed at Dan, his cheeky smile suddenly changed as he looked directly at Frank's stoic expressionless face, he gritted his teeth as he felt the several divinities within Frank and the power of his abyssal miasma soul…

"Tch… I am not going to be intimidated by your husband, little girl." Sighed Dan, as he decided to ignore Frank's intimidation, only making Frank even more angered… silently angered.

Matsuo patted his shoulders as he calmed down Frank.

"Come on man, don't let him get through you. You're better than this." he said.

"Sigh… I don't mind when people insult me or call me whatever they want… But when they do it to those I love, I can't help but want to kill them." Sighed Frank.

"Haha… You've really changed from back then, friend. I still remember the slightly cowardly, timid, and a bit awkward Frank from before…" said Matsuo.

"Don't remind me of that past… I am a bit ashamed of being so foolish." Sighed Frank.

"No, no, it wasn't bad. I mean, it was expected. You were still new to all of this… I comprehended how you felt so I tried to help you in whatever I could." Said Matsuo.

Frank smiled.

"Yeah, and I am thankful for that… Now let's see what happens now…" said Frank.

"I got faith into your little sister and your loli wife." Said Matsuo while nodding confidently.

"Loli wife?" asked Frank, his eyes flashed with crimson-red light.

"I-I mean, in Orb! I didn't mean it as an offense, but she really looks like a loli." Said Matsuo.

"I know… That's the form she chose to take. She was actually a large, over four-meter-big white sphere. That's her true form as a Dungeon Core, but through her divine powers, she was able to materialize into this form." Said Frank.

"Oh, I see… So she's really an actual Dungeon, huh?" asked Matsuo in disbelief.

"She really is. And a strong one. In her original world, Terra, she absorbed dozens of Dungeons across the globe, there are still many left, but she at least had absorbed almost a hundred, this greatly enhanced her total power…" said Frank.

Orb had bene absorbing and assimilating Dungeons and Dungeon Cores for the past months without stopping. Anytime she had free time, she would go back to Terra with Frank and go around finding Dungeons and absorbing them.

Each dungeon boosted her stats and made her divinity stronger, while her dungeon became more and more massive too. Her power was already at Goddess-level, being Terra's first ever Dungeon Goddess, and perhaps Earth's first sentient Dungeon too.

"So she can grow stronger like that… I see." Said Matsuo.

The two then looked into the arena once more.

Dan looked back at Orb as he smiled defiantly.

"This girl's power is commendable; I cannot take her lightly… But she's also easy to provoke and has a very childish personality. I can abuse this. As long as Gustavo doesn't interfere with my trickery…" he thought.

His eyes flashed with crimson-red light, as he looked at Clementine with resolve.

"My lady, I shall bring you a victory now…" he thought.

Dan, despite looking young, was quite old. His age was of over 150 years of age, and as his name implies, he doesn't come from Japan. However, due to his youthful personality and his obsession with new things, he is seen as a "young generation" by many Vampires.

Dan's life commenced not in Japan but in ancient France, he was the son of a drunk man and a prostitute and was born in between alcohol and drugs. His life as he grew up was filled with torment and suffering, a father that he never met and a mother that sold her own body, was alcoholic, and was also addict to drugs of those times.

Due to this harsh life from the very beginning, he grew up without love, and became an aggressive kid with a bad temper, at a young age that he was forced to work for his mother making all sorts of things, such as cleaning the whorehouse, cooking, and more. But above all, he was also used as a delivery boy of goods such as drugs or money.

He was known by most of the bandits in the red-light district at that time, but he was also an avid thief, known for having good hands capable of stealing anything if he put the intent into it.

Because there were sometimes when he had nothing to eat, he had to recur to stealing food in the streets and at other times, even money if he could.

France 300 years ago was far from prosperous as it was now, and poverty was perhaps ten of times more intense than it was now.

And before all, it was also a world shrouded in shadows, crimes, and sick minds.

His mother grew more and more uninterested in Dan as he grew up, and the woman despised him because of all the money he had made her spend for him, to end up only growing up as a useless girl-faced thief.

His face reminded her of her sister for some reason, the sister that was with her in this place once, but escaped stealing all her lifesavings which she had saved to move away one day from this place…

Due to this illogical hate towards his own son and the stupid grudges she held against her sister, which she targeted towards her son, Dan lived in abuse of his mother, slapped in the face for doing anything that slightly annoyed her, and sometimes even getting whole bottles throw at him, and that's without mentioning all the cigarette burns he held in his hands.

But Dan back then could had never thought that his destiny could become far, far worse…

And no, it wasn't provoked by a monster or something, it was all by his own mother's works.
