Fate is the embodiment of the Heavenly Book in the world of "My Own Swordsman".
In His hands, the entire world went through a process of creation, destruction, re-creation, and re-destruction, creating one era after another and destroying one era after another.
In this process, there were outsiders, but they were all dealt with by fate.
This world belongs to Him, and everything is under His control. Fate is absolutely not allowed to exceed His control, especially Kong Yang, an uncontrollable and uncertain factor like the Pangu clan.
Therefore, before Kong Yang could react, he was excluded from the world.
In the endless void, Kong Yang narrowly escaped death, finally using up one of his 'super draw chances' to gain an escape opportunity.
Kong Yang almost vanished into nothingness after only a brief moment of stagnation.
In the void, there is no such thing as original sins such as 'lust' and 'gluttony'.
This is a special realm beyond all the heavens and myriad worlds, much like the dimensional rift between the underworld and the human world in "High School DxD," a unique place.
This experience allowed Kong Yang to taste the fear of 'death' for the first time.
Indeed, he was already very strong, but he was still far from being truly 'immortal'.
With great difficulty, he sat up. His body had already suffered severe damage, and Kong Yang had no doubt that if he had been any later, he would have been dead.
Although he has a pact with the World Tree Sapling, Kong Yang's soul will not perish.
However, in order to help Kong Yang be reborn, the World Tree sapling must at least grow into a 'World Tree'. In a small world that is concealed, the time required for it to grow into a complete World Tree cannot be described as 'long'.
Therefore, even if it meant consuming a super draw, Kong Yang had to do it.
Kong Yang could now feel that his body was almost ruined, and a void energy within him was constantly consuming his body. Recovery? Without dealing with this energy, it was out of the question.
This is truly a matter of life and death, and at the same time, this is an unknown world, making it even more dangerous.
As for the small world, Kong Yang is currently unable to enter it because he cannot use magic power at all, so he cannot enter.
In the past, my magical power was so extraordinary that I didn't really feel anything. But now that I can't use my magic, I realize how important it is.
The only good news is that the total amount of energy in the void is not much.
Kong Yang can use the power of original sin to gradually wear down these energies. Once these energies are gone, it will be easy for him to recover from his injuries.
It was at this moment that Kong Yang looked around and found himself inside a fairly large tent.
The place where I was lying was a cot, and there was a small table not far away with a glass of water on it.
Furthermore, Kong Yang could sense that there were many auras around him. Although he couldn't use his Observation Haki, Kong Yang, as the embodiment of original sin, was still very sensitive to sin.
No matter who you are, even the most virtuous person, you will always carry some trace of sin within you.
"Did I get picked up and taken in?"
Looking around, Kong Yang also had some guesses. After all, he had escaped the void world in such a hurry that he would not have fallen directly into a room. The most likely scenario was that he fell into the wild and was then rescued by someone.
"Oh? You're already awake."
At that moment, a voice rang out, and Kong Yang looked up to see a beautiful woman.
He was dressed in a military uniform similar to that of a naval officer, and his long, ice-blue hair almost reached his ankles. He exuded a scent that was 'familiar' to Kong Yang. This was a 'murderer', definitely not a kind person.
"you are?"
Kong Yang forced himself to turn around; he had never felt so weak and in so much pain as he had today.
"My name is Esdeath. I found you by chance during the march yesterday. You are so badly injured. Were you attacked by a dangerous species?"
Esdeath looked at Kong Yang and spoke slowly, her gaze filled with concern.
Kong Yang was stunned. Esdeath? A Dangerous Species? Is this the world of Akame ga Kill!?
Wow, this is really something. In the entire world of anime, this is probably the only one where a member of the main character's team dies every episode. In the end, even the main character died.
(P.S.: In the anime, only Akame and Najenda died, but the manga version has a relatively happy ending.)
"Ah, I did run into some trouble. Thank you so much for saving me. Otherwise, I might have been eaten by wild beasts."
"It's nothing, just a small matter."
"My name is Kong Yang, thank you so much for your help."
"Hello, my name is Esdeath."
Kong Yang looked at Esdeath, who was speaking so gently to him, and felt a little puzzled.
This is not the super S queen that Kong Yang knew.
"You don't have any external injuries, but there's an unknown force inside you that's constantly destroying your body. I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it."
"It's nothing, I know why. Don't worry, just give me some time."
"Can you treat yourself?"
"That's it."
With the help of the power of original sin, Kong Yang can gradually wear down the void energy, but this process may take a long time.
Esdeath nodded in agreement, but still harbored some doubts, given how strange Kong Yang's injuries were.
Moreover, the reason she brought Kong Yang back was because Kong Yang's body was terrifyingly powerful.
A person who suffered a 'severe injury' was unconscious in the freezing cold, yet he was actually fine.
Especially since Esdeath sensed a subtle threat emanating from this man, how could she not find him intriguing?
And when she saw Kong Yang's appearance, even she, who had seen countless handsome men, was stunned.
Young, mysterious, seriously injured, and quite powerful, he immediately met most of her criteria for a partner.
Chapter Two: My Current Situation!
During their conversation, Kong Yang learned that Esdeath was on a military campaign, with her target being the alien races to the north of the empire.
As expected, this should be before the main storyline, with Esdeath having just set off for the north to suppress the rebellious alien races.
This world is very interesting, especially this empire, which is the center of this world, much like Orario in Dungeon Fighter Online.
This is an ancient country with a thousand-year-old civilization, the most powerful country in the world. The only country that can rival it is the kingdoms in the west, while the southern islands and the northern tundra are relatively backward, and the eastern island nation is an uncivilized land.
An empire that lasted for a thousand years—that was simply terrifying. A thousand-year dynasty—before I transmigrated, there wasn't one like it in the entire world.
But this world did just that, and in order to maintain its long-term rule, the empire's founding emperor used the empire's vast wealth and power to summon the world's finest craftsmen.
Using legendary, extremely dangerous species as materials, along with rare metals such as Ohari Steel and a large number of long-lost secret techniques, forty-eight powerful weapons that cannot be replicated were developed and called 'Teigu'.
This is also the 'divine weapon' of this world. Possessing an Imperial Arms allows one to ascend to the heavens in one step and become a superior being.
However, Imperial Arms are adaptable and choose their own masters. That is why Imperial Arms are not common items that anyone can use.
The empire is now in its darkest period, with evil spirits running rampant and tragedies raging everywhere.
This place was practically Kong Yang's paradise. Kong Yang believed that if he entered the capital of the empire, he would be like a fish in water.
All sorts of sins absolutely permeate every inch of the capital, which can greatly increase Kong Yang's recovery speed.
If Kong Yang can recover even a little bit, let alone use a little magic, he will be fearless in this world.
This world is not as good as the previous worlds, even the world of "Another World's Brothel Review".
Especially the Imperial Arms users in this world, each one of them relies on the power of the Imperial Arms. Even Esdeath, who stands at the pinnacle of Imperial Arms users, is still made of flesh and blood.
However, at present, Kong Yang is definitely in the most dangerous period of his life.
His body was severely injured, and there was still vomit energy raging within him. He could not use his magic, and all his abilities and skills were useless. His only reliance was his ability to absorb sin as the embodiment of original sin.
Thus, due to his injuries, Kong Yang was unable to leave the tent.
For the next two days, Esdeath's army did not set out, and Kong Yang had a vague idea of what was going on.
Esdeath, this super S-queen, has probably become interested in me.
Originally, after she suppressed the northern barbarians and returned to the capital, she would have thought about finding a boyfriend and even held a martial arts tournament.
Her conditions were also very demanding, with a total of five points:
First, regardless of what else matters, the most important thing is to value the possibilities of the future. I hope to train myself with the goal of becoming a general.
Second, someone who has the courage to hunt dangerous species with me, even empty-handed.
Third, like me, people who grew up not in the capital but in border areas.
Fourth, they are younger than me, because that makes them easier for me to control.
Fifth, it's best to be someone with a pure smile.
Kong Yang, due to the original sin of lust, is handsome and attractive to women. Needless to say, as long as he is not a pervert or homosexual, he will have a good first impression.
Furthermore, since Kong Yang is not an imperial citizen and is still alive despite suffering such severe injuries, his strength is definitely not weak.
Comparing all the criteria, while not every single one applies, they are definitely within Esdeath's acceptable range.
Otherwise, this super S-queen wouldn't have given a stranger such a thing for no reason. Kindness might not be absent from her, but it certainly wouldn't exist for a stranger.
In the past two days, Kong Yang has made some initial progress and is now able to get up and move around.
As for running and other actions, Kong Yang is not yet able to do them.
This is still thanks to the fact that this is a military base, where sins of lust and gluttony are not uncommon.
Esdeath was especially kind to her soldiers. After each victory, she would allow them to burn, kill, and plunder. Since the army was all men, they would naturally seek out women to relieve their lust.
Esdeath allowed all of this; in her army, you could do whatever you wanted as long as you won a battle.
Thanks to this, Kong Yang has absorbed a lot of sins these past two days and has only just begun to recover.
Esdeath also came over frequently, and Kong Yang could tell that she was trying to get closer to him. Kong Yang didn't refuse, after all, she was a great beauty and a super S queen, no man would refuse her.
"Kong Yang, how are you feeling today?"
Just as Kong Yang was pondering, Esdeath lifted the tent flap and walked in.
The two have now gotten to know each other, and because Esdeath is consciously trying to get closer to her, they are talking more and more casually.
"I'm ready to get out of bed now. I'm so sorry for taking up these past two days."
"It's nothing, just a mere northern barbarian tribe. We can suppress them at any time, whether it's sooner or later doesn't matter."
Esdeath didn't care at all. Although she was one of the two generals of the empire, she was independent and not under anyone's control.
She and her ministers were partners, and this campaign against the northern barbarians was something she had come up with to pass the time, so it didn't matter whether she went early or late.
She could even refuse to go, since she controlled the army under her command and the ministers wouldn't say anything.
"If you put it that way, I'll feel even more embarrassed. I was saved by you, and now I'm going to be a burden to you."
"They all said it was a small matter."
The relationship between the two gradually improved.
Outside the tent, three people stood silently.
They are Esdeath's strongest warriors, the Three Beast Warriors, each of whom is a Teigu user.
"Riva, Lady Esdeath has really taken a liking to this pretty boy."
The petite, cross-dressing boy, Niu, spoke slowly. He truly hadn't expected that his idol, Lady Esdeath, would actually fall in love.
"It must be him. This man is of great interest to Lady Esdeath."
"So he'll be our boss from now on?"
"I don't know, it depends on what Lady Esdeath thinks."
Liva said that, but he couldn't help clenching his fists.
He had a secret: he loved the master to whom he had submitted, because she was the one who gave him light.
However, as a servant, I had no right to indulge in unrealistic fantasies, so I suppressed them all along.
Now, Esdeath may have taken a liking to another man, which makes him very sad, but he can only bear it alone, because that is the man chosen by his master.
Chapter Three: The Slaughtered Alien Village!
After staying in place for another two days, Kong Yang had barely recovered enough to take care of himself, and Esdeath then ordered the army to set off.
It was precisely because Esdeath stayed in this place for four days, and because she never tried to hide it, that many soldiers knew that their general had someone she loved.
