Life Drain System

However before eating anything, Yueliang looks around the room, seeing it empty except for musicians, servants, his grandfather and himself, he asks. "Where is sister? She is not here with us, is this not a family meal?"

Having a mouthful of food as the question is asked, the emperor chews, and then swallows before saying. "Your sister decided to skip breakfast as she has a mission to do. You should understand seeing as you did enough to build a town. Not to mention that you even used years of your life that you had accumulated from killing others to do so. Now keep in mind I will not berate you for such actions as I already found out that you only killed cultists as well as fighting on one side of a war."

Hearing this, Yue asks. "How is it that you know so much about my past?"

Promptly replying after taking a sip of his tea. "It seems you have not delved into all the features that the system offers yet. Where do you think it gets knowledge of all the abilities from? I made sure that it would gather knowledge as time passes in order to ensure that the users of such systems would be unable to be left behind. Sadly I could not ensure that it would only function for those who are good, as I was not skilled enough, but one day maybe."

Taking another sip of his tea, he continues. "So here is what I wanted to tell you this morning. I look forward to catching up with you soon, however I would like for you to please do a large mission. There are some misguided people, who are doing awful things. Of course this can wait until after breakfast. Once the mission is over, come to me, and we can catch up. You can learn about us and vice versa."

Not feeling particularly excited, but happy to help others, Yue answers. "Alright, but I cannot accept it with the system at the moment, as it seems to still be in the process of repairing or something."

Drinking his tea, the emperor nearly spills it hearing this news and asks. "Still? What could it possibly be doing?"

Yueliang just shakes his head and raises his hands in reply as even he does not know why.

Henceforth the two continue to eat and drink the food before them that is their breakfast. The time passing kind of slowly, but happily, as they enjoy the peaceful music that seems to be creating scenes in their mind that they get to experience as they listen.

After breakfast finishes, the emperor places his thumb onto Yueliangs forehead between his brows as he says. "It seems I will have to change your mission for a little later, but it will take effect the moment your system awakens. Until then, you and I can catch up." Transferring a copy of the knowledge to Yueliang with grandpas chi, Yue learns the details of said mission.

Now that they are finished eating, the servants come in and begin taking the food, and replacing their tea since they will likely be drinking it as they eat, and tea is normally best hot.

Coming in and taking away each of the dishes, the servants take it back, and once out of the room say. "Score, we got delicious delicacies for breakfast."

This because while the servants get treated better than the average person in this household, when one gains and inch they often take a mile. In this case, they desire the things they are not suited to have, and are taking foods behind the royal families back. Of course the emperor knows this, as even if he does not want to he can see everything around him with divine sense.

The reason he has not taken action yet, is because they have taken nothing of much value or betrayed him yet. And while this is a bad example, allowing them to do this will only make them think they can get away with more, he has more important things to do with his life than to deal with petty thieves. Therefore he leaves it to the guards.

Meanwhile, Yueliang says. "You said you wanted to get to know me. What do you want to know?"

His grandfather just answers. "How about starting at the beginning?"

A moment of thought later, Yue begins. "Well my father back in our old world was the duke, basically directly under the king, which passed to me once my father died in a war. Or so I was told anyways. Anyways, I do not remember much from my childhood because with the system taken away at a young age my memory changed with it. Anyways, most of my time was spent in one of a few ways, either learning something such as music, ruling, or school, or I was following the kings decrees. Not much playing around, but in the university I got it back.

"Of course there was this time dad took me to see the stars, and we flew around in space a little. It was so fun, that I could not wait to see what all was out there. This was around when I was eight but it was so much fun, and we even got attacked by aliens, as well as pirates while we were out there. He even taught me to fight and fly in spacecrafts that day."

Taking a breath, he continues. "My father apparently had part of his will delayed, and I received a ring that apparently contained the system, which I began learning about everything from there. Shortly after I started dating, as well as learning magic, which later I found is part of cultivation. I got kidnapped a few times, then later summoned 6,000 sky orcs now high orcs as my subordinates. Got a fiancé, later had to kill her. Got some human followers, 24 goblins as subordinates, 2 divine tigers, 1 snow tiger, then I am sure you know the rest already. Anyways many are now dead as you know."

Seeing that his grandson is finished with his story he says. "It seems a lot happened, I am sorry to hear about that. But at least you learned from your experiences and became who you are today. I guess it is now my turn to fill you in a little."

"About a 2 and a half centuries ago, I fell in love for the first time, before I met my other children's mothers. Anyways, she was a maid on some planet far far away. I was there for a mission, and met her by chance in the market. Of course, after I finished that mission I often came back to that planet just to see here. There were difficulties obviously, but she loved the starry sky and I, thus she was willing to go through them just to be with me."

"At the time, I was pretending to be a wandering cultivator, which was not a lie, I was wandering and a cultivator. Anyways, I had to convince her owner to sell her to me, from which I set her free and we got married a few years later. Anyways, about a decade later, after I took her back and she knew who I was we had a daughter. But sadly my wife died in childbirth, however at least I had my daughter."

"This daughter of mine, one day set out to explore the stars but at the time there was a battle between two sects which I was going to stop later that day. During this, she happened to come across it, and wanting to end the fighting, to create peace, as she has seen me do time and time again, she got hit by a stray attack."

"For fear of offending me, the fight ended and the two sects ran. I only came to find this out later that day as I was viewing what happened in the area with a particular skill. Anyways, my daughter already gone, I tried to follow, but to now avail as her body floated through a closing black hole. It was a century before I stopped searching, and started sending others to do it for me."

"Either way, I could never find her, but at her cultivation I knew she could live at least a thousand years in that state. Regardless, this woman was your mother. This I know because while transferring the memories just now, I checked your body. Anyways, I do not know what you know of your mother as I have not checked your thoughts, may I?" His grandfather asks, in hopes that he may find her, or at least some information on her whereabouts.

Yueliang speaks his mind excitedly. "So I am not your great great grandson or such, but just your grandson? But I thought sis and you said otherwise. Either way, there is nothing of my mother in my memories, however feel free to check. If we can find your daughter as well as my mother that would be wonderful."

(Of course a lot more was said by Yueliang and not vice versa, this is just a brief recap of what happened by shortening and rewording what he said. However not what was said by the emperor.. Now back to it.)
