THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSEC466 Like Old Times
The space cracked, and Dean Lufy stepped out before it closed. However, instead of moving after landing on the ground, Dean Lufy stood there, his expression suggesting he was deep in thought.
It took him five whole minutes to calm himself.
"He called me Uncle Monk, and for some reason, I liked that. What is this strange feeling? Why does it feel like I'm forgetting something very important?" Dean Lufy muttered with a small frown.
When Klaus mistakenly called him Uncle Monk, something stirred within him—a feeling that made him believe he was forgetting something.
Something that held deep meaning to him. Something that might explain this strange feeling in his heart.
Ever since he first saw Klaus's image trending online, he'd felt a sense of familiarity with him. And now, seeing him in person, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was meant to know him—and more than that, to protect him.
"I need to meditate," he muttered, entering his room and beginning to meditate like a monk. A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and stood up.
"I can't concentrate," he said before leaving the room. A few seconds later, he vanished. His next destination was a Forbidden Zone, where he planned to kill some monsters to release stress.
He wasn't known as the Battle Monk for nothing.
***
The space cracked open once more on top of the academy's mountain, and Nari flew out, holding Klaus in her arms. The look in her eyes was far from encouraging.
"You're a crazy woman, you know that, right?" Klaus said the moment he gained his freedom.
Nari stuck out her tongue and called out playfully, "Big sister, I brought your boyfriend!"
She turned to Klaus, flashing a teasing smile.
"In two weeks, I'll come down and live with you. Don't you dare dirty the room?"
With that, she vanished, leaving Klaus frowning behind her. A few moments later, Klaus snapped out of his daze when he sensed someone appears behind him.
He turned around and saw Queenie staring at the tattoo on his back. The moment he faced her, she also snapped out of her daze.
"That sister of yours is crazy," Klaus said, walking toward Queenie, who stood there with a small smile on her face.
"You'll get used to it," she replied, watching as Klaus approached.
Her heart skipped a beat when their eyes met. Fortunately for her, Klaus didn't do what she was anticipating. Instead, he gently took her hand and pointed to a tall building perched atop the mountain.
"Wanna watch the sunset with me, like old times?" Klaus asked. Queenie was quick to nod. If he hadn't asked, she would have.
Klaus's lightning angel wings appeared, and he wrapped an arm around her waist. Moments later, they were atop the building, settled at the edge. Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"That's a long way down," Queenie said, peeking over the edge.
Klaus chuckled, his thoughts drifting back to when they first watched the sunset together in the Stone Valley. Back then, she'd said the same thing. He smiled, knowing she would survive even if she fell from space.
"You don't have to be afraid. This young master is here to protect you," Klaus said, slipping in a shameless comment as always.
As expected, Queenie smiled. After a small hesitation, she rested her head on Klaus's shoulder.
Nari, watching them from kilometers away, grinned mischievously.
"Nice one, big sis. Now all that's left is to get into his pants."
Cough.
Queenie coughed, making Klaus turn to face her.
"Are you okay?" Klaus asked with a caring gaze.
"I am fine," Queenie said. Inwardly, though, she was raining all kinds of insults on Nari for making such a snarky comment. Nari tuned the wavelength, making sure Queenie heard everything she said.
Nari had an ability that allowed her to hear from hundreds of miles away. In fact, in the entire world, her hearing abilities were unmatched.
This allowed her to pick up even the smallest sounds if she wanted to and also transmit her voice across miles using the same method.
Of course, it wasn't the only ability she wielded, but that was by far her most used skill, considering she liked to spy on people and learn more about them.
The overlords dared not gossip behind her back, nor would they want to test her other abilities—one of which even Queenie didn't know. It was her strongest ability, and she wouldn't let even her closest family and friends know about it.
Well...
"How have you been, Queenie? Is everything going well?" Klaus asked after sitting in silence for a few minutes.
"I am fine. And if you're asking about the alliance with the Moon People, that, too, is going well. I met with the other Overlords, and they are now working around the clock to get the union leaders on board."
"I see. It's good that things are working out well," Klaus said, nodding.
If things go well, the Moon People will move to Earth, saving them from the constant attacks by the Lunar Beasts.
With 70% of the moon occupied by Lunar Beasts, they would sooner rather than later be overrun. They couldn't do much against such a relentless onslaught despite their strength.
Of course, once they leave, they can team up with the humans and potentially liberate the moon from the Lunar Beasts later.
"How about you? How is the move to the academy?" Queenie asked.
"So far, I am managing. Although I would love to get into some action immediately, things seem to be picking up better than I had hoped.
But I don't think I'll have much fun, considering the crazy redhead has now made me a feared individual to all," Klaus replied with a smile, shaking his head.
"Well, you've made yourself a feared disciple when you sneak up on a sovereign like it's a walk in the park," Queenie smirked.
She had witnessed everything while piercing through the void.
"It's not my fault those idiots are weak. The sovereign lady is decent, considering she awakened her fire element and even leveled it up. The others, though, I don't think they could last a single strike," Klaus bragged.
Queenie smiled, knowing all he had said was indeed true. If it had been before Klaus helped her pass her tribulation, she would have doubted him.
But after seeing the techniques and skills he unleashed during the tribulation, she now saw him in a new light. The young man beside her was a monster among monsters.
"How did you do that? You know, how did you suddenly appear behind her?" Queenie asked.
Although she had seen his movement, which was almost like teleportation, it wasn't the teleportation she knew.
Teleportation is a default skill every warrior receives after breaking through to the Sovereign stage. But Klaus isn't a Sovereign, so how could he suddenly appear behind Sofia?
"I'll tell you if you kiss me," Klaus said with a cute smile.
Queenie's cheeks immediately turned red upon hearing such a shameless request. Of course, she wasn't about to give in to his demand.
But then Klaus whispered something into her ear, immediately making her lift her head and clench her fists.

THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSEC467 She Cares
At one point, while her head rested on Klaus's shoulder, Queenie's left hand brushed against Klaus's finely sculpted abs, unknowingly.
Klaus, of course, was enjoying it and didn't say a word. But now, after asking for a kiss and blushing, he drew her attention to her wandering hand.
Queenie immediately pulled her hand away, her face heating up as she blushed even harder. Klaus, however, took her hand gently and placed it back on his abs.
"No need to be shy. This is all yours," he said with a playful smile, watching her hesitation.
For a moment, she froze, unsure of what to do. But then, her fingers spread out, and she began to run her hand across his abs again, tentatively at first.
"Just make sure your hands don't go any lower," Klaus teased. "Little Klaus tends to get excited easily."
It took a moment for Queenie to catch the reference, her eyes dropping to his trousers—the only piece of clothing left after Nari had burned his shirt to ashes.
Her blush deepened when the meaning dawned on her, and she quickly looked away, flustered. Klaus's smile widened.
He liked seeing her so helplessly shy like this. After all, she would inevitably return to her busy and moody self once he was gone.
Of course, Klaus would ensure she kept smiling even after he returned to the academy. They stayed like that for minutes, watching the sun dissolve into the horizon in the west.
"That was beautiful. We should do it again," Klaus said softly.
"I think so, too," Queenie replied. "Too bad you're here to study, and I wouldn't want to disturb your focus."
"You won't be disturbing me. You can never disturb me," Klaus said with a reassuring smile. He knew she was worried about him, but he was equally concerned about her.
There was a reason for this. Klaus had started to feel something familiar about her. It was still faint, barely noticeable, but it was there. He knew it would soon become more pronounced.
"Although you're strong, there are still a lot of things you lack experience in," Queenie continued, her tone thoughtful.
"Strength alone isn't enough. You need experience in other fields. So, while I'd love to watch the sunset with you every evening, I wouldn't want to interfere with your studies."
Klaus sighed. She was right. For now, he needed to focus on understanding Earth and the dangers it held.
The senior had told him Earth wasn't simple. It harbored secrets—secrets powerful enough to destroy galaxies.
Because of this, Klaus was determined to uncover the truth, especially now that he was closer than ever to the best source of information he could find.

"I will listen to you. But whenever I'm free, and you are too, I want you to bring me here so I can spend time with you," Klaus said, his tone firm and sincere, leaving no room for doubt.
Queenie smiled at his words, a soft blush creeping onto her cheeks. His manly resolve stirred something within her, making her heart race. "I will," she replied, her voice tinged with warmth.
"Klaus, you still haven't finished the tale of the Immortal and the Thief. You know, the one you started telling me back in Stone Valley," Queenie said suddenly, her tone curious.
Klaus chuckled at the memory, her unexpected request bringing a smile to his face. Of course, he remembered.
He'd been using the story to draw closer to her, to find a way into her guarded heart. He'd promised to continue it later, but the chance had slipped away when she had to leave.
"I'll tell you the rest later," Klaus replied. "For now, let's just enjoy this moment together. Besides, you have a lot to share with me, especially Earth's secret. You know, the good stuff," he added with a teasing grin.
"I know I promised, and I will tell you everything," Queenie said, her eyes meeting his. "But as you said, let's spend some time together first."
"Okay," Queenie said softly.
Klaus noticed her hands becoming a little more assertive, though they still avoided venturing anywhere near his "little brother."
"By the way," Klaus said, his tone shifting, "do you think, with humanity's help, the moon people can one day return to their world?"
"I don't know," Queenie replied thoughtfully. "Mom said the Lunar Beasts are far stronger than me—many times over. Right now, the only thing keeping them safe is the safe zone they're in. She didn't explain much about it, but I think it has something to do with laws."
"Laws?" Klaus raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
"Yes, laws," Queenie said. "Once you become a Sovereign, you start to sense the laws of the universe. This ability helps you form what the system calls the 'Law of Self.' It's about understanding yourself and the laws around you."
"Do you have a law?" Klaus asked, his curiosity getting the better of him. It was a bit of a silly question, but Queenie, smitten as she was, didn't laugh. Instead, she flashes him with a soft smile.
"I do have my own law, but I won't tell you," Queenie said with a playful laugh, the sound so enchanting it made Klaus's heart skip a beat.
"I see. I never knew the woman I was chasing could be this wicked," Klaus replied, feigning hurt though a knowing smirk tugged at his lips.
Deep down, he was certain she'd reveal it to him in time. For now, he wouldn't push her.
"Then, can you tell me more about this 'Law of Self'?" Klaus asked, his curiosity shining through.
For some reason, Queenie smiled, relieved that he wasn't prying into the mystery of her Law of Self. Deep down, she feared his reaction—whether he might hate or fear her—if he ever learned the truth.
Right now, she was the most terrifying existence on Earth. Her nature was something that can be described as the face of death. When in battle, she is feared by both allies and foes.
Whenever she unleashes her aura, it shatters the resolve of anyone in its presence. Dangerous didn't even begin to describe her.
Sometimes, even she felt the weight of her own aura pressing down on her, overwhelming her spirit. It was why she kept it restrained, choosing for now to hold herself back.
But her aura wasn't the only thing about her that was terrifying. Her sword intent was a nightmare, a force that could crush even the bravest of warriors.
Yet Queenie herself remained unaware of the truth—that she was the reincarnation of the most powerful, brutal, and wicked sword expert the universe had ever known.
And then there was her Law of Self. That secret was a burden too heavy to share, especially with him.
Call it a woman's way of protecting what she holds dear, but Queenie couldn't bring herself to reveal something so dark and dangerous about who she truly was.
If she ever told him, she would do it slowly, piece by piece, ensuring Klaus didn't break under the weight of the revelation.
But even that might not change the inevitable truth—she was a being forged for slaughter, a menace born to kill.
She might not fully realize it yet, but soon, she would start to walk the path destined for her. A path that would earn her the title:
The Asura Blood Queen.

THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSEC468 Nari's Intervention
Queenie's fingers gently brushed through Klaus's hair as she gazed at his sleeping face, now resting peacefully on her lap.
She finally gave in to the allure of his striking features, the handsomeness that made it hard to look away. Klaus, as always, had fallen asleep effortlessly.
It all began when he started forming his cores. Ever since, it was as if a spell had been cast over him, lulling him into slumber whenever he was comfortable.
And comfort, for Klaus, often came in the form of his head resting on a lady's lap. He didn't even need a minute before succumbing to sleep.
Unlike many who rested with one eye open, Klaus surrendered entirely. When he drifted asleep, it was almost unsettling to witness.
Considering how vulnerable it made him, one might find it troubling, but Klaus remained unbothered. He trusted that the senior would wake him when in danger.
Though that might incur some karmic debt, it was hardly a concern for him.
Still, something about this would make one find it troubling. But for Queenie, who had always felt shy and guarded around Klaus, this moment felt like an opportunity—an excuse to take him in truly.
Her fingers gently moved a stray strand of hair from his face, her gaze lingering on his features. His closed eyes, sharp jawline, and serene expression captivated her.
"Handsome…" she whispered, her cheeks flushing a soft pink.
A faint sigh escaped her lips...
"Who are you, Klaus? Why can't I stay focused when you're near me—or even when I think of you?" Her voice was low, almost trembling, as her hand continued its gentle path through his hair.
This moment, she realized, might be her only chance to get this close to the white-haired bastard resting so peacefully on her lap without looking all flustered.
"You came into my life and gave me more than I could ever ask for, yet whenever I look at you, my heart aches. I hate this feeling—I hate this sense of uneasiness like I'm going to lose you at any moment, like I can't protect you when you need me like. Like I can't be there for you in the ways you deserve.
I hate this feeling."
Her soft blue eyes began to well up as she stared at the sleeping beauty. If Klaus knew he had caused such a breathtaking woman to cry, he would never forgive himself.
Nari, who was far away, listened in on Queenie's words. But after hearing just a few, she couldn't bear it anymore. She chose instead to stop listening and watch.
Her hands clutched her pounding heart as she watched her dear sister tear up. She didn't know what Queenie was going through but somehow hated seeing her so vulnerable. But she doesn't understand the emotion, for she cannot.
Yes, she had wanted her to experience these feelings, but she had never expected it to be so devastating.
Queenie sobbed softly for a few minutes before a faint smile curved her lips. Leaning down, she let her lips brush against Klaus's.
She held the kiss for just a few seconds before pulling away, her cheeks flushing a deep red, streaked with the marks of her tears. Naturally, this resulted from stealing a kiss from someone while they were asleep.
She was painfully shy, so this was the only way she could muster the courage. Even then, the act left her utterly flustered.
But like a cruel twist of fate, her moment of tenderness was short-lived.
"What a weirdo. You waited until he was asleep to kiss him."
Nari appeared out of nowhere, hovering smugly behind Queenie, who immediately wished for two things.
First, for Nari to drop dead in the most excruciating way possible.
Second, for Nari to get hit by a train.
Why did she have to appear now, of all times, to fan the flames of her embarrassment? This was just too humiliating.
"Nari, what are you doing here?" Queenie whispered, using her cultivation base to carry the words without disturbing the sleeping figure. She was careful—too careful—not to wake Klaus.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm here to make sure you don't chicken out tonight," Nari said, landing gracefully on the ground.
"What do you mean?" Queenie asked, narrowing her eyes. She already suspected Nari was up to no good, but she truly had no idea what nonsense was brewing in her sister's mind.
"What I mean is, this is your chance to get some. Klaus is right here, asleep in your arms. Don't let this opportunity slip by." Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"I'm not going to take advantage of him, you idiot! Do you think I'm that desperate?" Queenie shot back, glaring daggers at Nari.
"LOL, relax!" Nari chuckled, waving her hand dismissively. "I'm not telling you to get into his pants. Calm down, big sister."
Queenie's glare intensified. "Whatever you're thinking, I won't do it."
"Tsk," Nari smirked. "All I'm saying is, why don't you cuddle with him instead of sending him away? I can see it in your eyes, big sister—you like him, and Klaus likes you too.
"So what's stopping you? You're the leader of the Overlords, yes, but you're also human. You have feelings, don't you? Don't let this moment pass without making any progress.
"Klaus might be holding back because he sees you as an Overlord first and foremost. So why not take the lead for once?"
Nari began to rise into the air, her mischievous grin never wavering. She knew Queenie better than anyone else. They had been through too much together for her not understanding her big sister's guarded heart.
In Nari's eyes, Klaus was the key to unlocking a side of Queenie that had been buried under years of bloodshed and duty.
Aside from Klaus, no one else was bold—or foolish—enough to match Queenie's strength or personality.
Nari had appraised countless men, spying on them and analyzing their potential. Not one had come close to fitting the profile.
But Klaus? He was different.
And for that reason, Nari was determined to push her sister toward this chance. Queenie deserved to be more than a sword-wielding berserker warrior; she deserved to be a woman who could feel and love—not just someone who slaughters.
"Just make sure you wear your one-piece sleepwear. We don't want Klaus waking up to a body covered in clothes."
Nari vanished from Queenie's sight, leaving behind a mischievous chuckle. If she stayed any longer, who knew what might happen to her?
Queenie sighed, her gaze dropping to her lap. Her mind raced through countless thoughts, but her heart spoke louder in the end.
"What the hell? If Big Sister were here, she'd be all over him. I might as well take advantage of this moment to make some progress."
Her cheeks flushed as she said that. After a few deep breaths, she and Klaus disappeared, reappearing in her room. She gently laid Klaus on a rather small bed.
Her face burned as she removed her clothes, slipping into sleepwear that barely covered her chest and nether region.
Her slender legs and shapely figure were on full display.
"I can't believe I'm following that madwoman's advice," she muttered, exhaling sharply before slipping into bed beside Klaus.
Moments later, Klaus's hand shifted, wrapping around her waist. A small smile appeared on his lips.

THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSEC469 First Shared Dream
"Have you heard? Blood Sword is coming to challenge Domain Sword after defeating The Steel Bastion in just three moves," a young man said, seated at a table with his friends inside a bustling inn.
The entire room's attention shifted to their table as soon as the words left his mouth.
"I guess it was only a matter of time before he reached this side of the world. I heard he's the son of a powerful king," someone else chimed in.
"Yeah, a prince who chooses to roam the world challenging swordsmen? That's insane," another remarked.
"I even heard his father, the king, wanted to crown him, but he refused. Instead, he chose the way of the sword," added a lean man who appeared to be a swordsman himself.
"It's admirable, sure, but this obsession with challenging every swordsman he encounters? It just doesn't sit well with me."
"Well, what can I say? He's a prodigy. In just four years, he's challenged 665 swordsmen and emerged victorious every single time. That's beyond admirable," the innkeeper joined the conversation.
"Maybe he's trying to set some kind of record," one patron suggested.
"Personally, I think he's looking for someone. No sane person would be this obsessed with challenging swordsmen," the innkeeper added, her words drawing everyone's attention.
"You don't think..." one of them started.
"Yes, I think he's seeking her out," the innkeeper said. "The only one who swept across this world like that was the Blood Princess of the Asura race. If he continues at this rate, he'll break her record—and do it even faster."
"That makes sense. The Blood Princess took ten years to defeat a thousand swordsmen, and Blood Sword is only four years in but has already defeated over six hundred."
"I need to witness this fight. I heard it's happening in the Abandoned Arena tomorrow afternoon. I'll head there using the teleportation gate."
Everyone nodded, making their plans to witness the legendary battle between the infamous Blood Sword—known by many as the Mad Swordsman—and Domain Sword, a legendary soldier said to have led his men through countless battles.
After everyone finished up their day, they all started making their way to this Arena. The crowd, numbering in thousands, used different teleportation gates to reach the Abandoned Arena.
Meanwhile, inside a private room at the inn, a young woman with fiery red hair, piercing red eyes, and an endearing and menacing expression smiled.
"So, you've finally appeared. I guess I'll have to deal with you before you go astray," she said softly. A few seconds later, she vanished from the room.
The next day, a crowd of thousands gathered in the Abandoned Arena, eagerly awaiting the duel between Blood Sword and Domain Sword.
"I can't believe I'm about to witness a duel between two legends!" one person exclaimed.
"Who do you think will win?" another asked.
"They're both Sword Saints, but I think Domain Sword has the edge. I heard his sword qi and sword intent are both at the Profound stage, while Blood Sword's sword intent is only at the Enhanced stage, though his sword qi is Profound."
"He's bound to lose, then," someone chimed in.
"I think so too. But I don't believe it will be easy for Domain Sword."
"That's for sure. I happened to witness Blood Sword's duel with the Steel Bastion. He only unleashed three techniques, and it was still enough."
The crowd buzzed with speculation, their anticipation growing as they waited for the swordsmen to appear. Blood Sword finally arrived two hours later when the sun reached its zenith at noon.
For all his reputation as a madman who roamed the land challenging anyone in his path, one couldn't ignore another fact: the man was a feast for the eyes.
The bastard was handsome.
His red hair shimmered like silver in the sunlight. He had a perfectly chiseled bone structure, a neat jawline that could cut glass, and lips that demanded attention.
The ladies all around inside the Arena held their breath.
It was true that he was mad, but the air around him radiated something unexpected—like a wealthy, privileged prince who chose to walk among the commoners instead of living the life of an arrogant royal.
This contradiction made him approachable, friendly, and strangely relatable in a way that only added to his allure.
As soon as he appeared, he began waving at his fans.
"Thank you all for gathering here. As you know, ever since I picked up the sword, I have sought a peer to defeat me. But so far, none have been able to, though I must admit, they are all great swordsmen.
Today, I will be challenging the renowned Domain Sword, the one said to possess the legendary Nine Astra Domain Sword technique.
I want you all to witness this legendary fight. I will accept the outcome like a gentleman, whether I win or lose.
That said, to my ladies, after the duel—if I win, we shall celebrate, but if I lose, I suppose I will not be worthy to celebrate with you fine women of the Narhian Kingdom."
The ladies around him blushed upon hearing this. Their comments and cheers continued as they waited for Domain Sword. Blood Sword was seated in a lotus posture, his sword lying before him.
Two hours later, Domain Sword had yet to appear. Many began to grow restless. However, just as the clock struck two, a graceful figure wearing a mask entered the arena.
Blood Sword smiled and opened his eyes, but the smile quickly vanished when his gaze fell on the figure.
"You are not Domain Sword," he said.
"Indeed, I am not him," a female voice replied. "Domain Sword was kind enough to give me his sword."
"Who are you?" Blood Sword asked.
"I go by many names: The Wild One, The Untamed Sword Tigress, The Redhead Menace... However, those are mere titles. My true name is The Blood Princess, and I have come to challenge you to a duel, Blood Sword."
The entire arena fell silent at the mention of her name. Excitement was caught in everyone's throats as they waited for Blood Sword's response.
It didn't take long before he spoke.
"I accept your challenge, Blood Princess. Make sure you do your best, for I will do mine."
The arena erupted. No one had expected this turn of events, but they embraced it. The infamous Blood Princess, rumored to be the strongest young prodigy of the Asura race, had finally appeared—and she had challenged Blood Sword.
This was set to be a legendary battle. Or so they thought.
A man descended into the arena and read the rules to them. A few minutes later, the two were positioned 30 meters apart.
"You have challenged me 66 times, Blood Sword, and I rejected them all. Do you know why?" the lady asked.
"I don't, Fairy Blood Princess. Why don't you enlighten me?"
"Oh, I'll tell you, but only if you manage to defend against my attack. Don't worry, I'll hold back so you don't accidentally die."
"Bring it on." Blood Sword's eyes narrowed. He, too, has a battle stance, ready to fight. However, that stance only lasted for a few seconds before his eyes widened.
In the next instant, his body was locked in place, overwhelmed by an onslaught of helplessness, bloodlust, and despair.
"Asura Blood Menace Art." Blood Princess shouted as she brandished her sword, "First Form." He gracefully steps forward, "Infinity Blood Swords."
Blood Princess unleashed her attack, and instantly, countless blood swords filled the arena. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Blood Sword, who was locked in place, unleashed his sword intent and sword Aura, trying to break free from the bind. However, it was all for nothing. He couldn't even move.
However, he created a dome around him, which managed to tank some of the swords.
"Ha... Ha... Ha..."
Blood Sword panted, his body covered in cuts, as he collapsed to the ground. The arena felt silent. Nobody dares make a single some. The display was just too overpowering. Deep in their hearts, everyone was terrified.
Nobody had expected Blood's sword to be able to defend against the hundreds of blood swords, each filled with potent blood qi.
They all expect him to die, luckily Blood Princess showed mercy and only allow Blood sword to defend against 30% of her attack the contain only 30% of her strength.
They were terrified. Yet, while the crowd was still in shock, Blood Princess walked toward Blood Sword, still on the ground.
She stopped before him, removed her mask, and revealed her breathtakingly beautiful face and eyes.
Her hand gently brushed a strand of hair from Blood Sword's face as she smiled. The smile faded almost immediately, and she muttered in a serious tone.
"Stop wasting your potential."
Queenie suddenly woke up, her forehead drenched in sweat. Klaus's hands were still resting around her slender waist.
She turned to face him. "Who are you, Klaus?" she muttered. She continued to look at him with a complicated expression as she recalled the dream she had just had.
Gently, she took his hand off her and left the room.
It was morning, and she went for a swim not far from the room. A few moments later, Klaus also woke up, a smile tugging at his lips.
'And so it began.'

THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSEC470 Inside The Pool
Klaus sat on the bed, surrounded by a hundred Tier 8 cores filled with elemental energies. He shattered them one by one, absorbing their power.
"So that bastard lied to me, huh? He was beaten black and blue," Klaus grinned, recalling what Number Three had told him.
The dream Queenie had was shared with Klaus. They both experienced the same dream about the same event; however, one of them woke up confused while the other was smiling over something trivial.
"The next time we meet, I'll be sure to rub it in your face, you bastard." Klaus was genuinely happy. His past incarnations had been a menace to him lately.
Number Three, the Asura god from his past life, had lied to him about his first and only failure—when he was defeated by Queenie's past incarnation, the Asura Queen, or as most called her, the Blood Princess.
In truth, he was so weak that the Blood Princess only used 30% of her strength to defeat him. Had she wanted him dead, he would have certainly perished.
Klaus could only smile as he continued absorbing the cores.
A few minutes later, the last core was absorbed. Klaus stood up, stretching, and made his way toward the pool, where Queenie, still in her sleepwear, was calming her pounding heart inside the pool.
"Good morning," Klaus said as he appeared at the pool.
Queenie, unaware of his presence, immediately crossed her arms over her chest, shielding the two melons that were 70% visible due to how small and revealing her sleepwear was.
"Oh please, I'm going to see them one day, so you might as well get used to it. And don't worry, you're not fully naked," Klaus smiled, watching how childish she had become. It was as if she had been caught doing something she shouldn't have.
'Remove your hands, big sister. By the way, I'll give you two some privacy. See you later, sister,' Nari said, using her unique ability before leaving the mountaintop entirely.
A few seconds later, Queenie sighed and lowered her hands, even going further. "Do you want to join me?"
"It would be my pleasure," Klaus replied, removing his trousers and leaving only his pants before immediately jumping into the pool.
"How was your night?" Queenie asked as they swam side by side.
"It was fantastic. But sorry, I fell asleep early. I've been getting sleepy lately," Klaus said.
"No need to apologize. I actually enjoyed watching you sleep," Queenie blushed.
"Hmm...I see. I guess I'll do my best always to satisfy your fetish," Klaus said with a smile.
"What fetish? I just loved seeing you sleep. Considering you're always training, I never pegged you as someone who would sleep."
"I sleep a lot, dear. And now that you've developed a fetish for watching me sleep, I guess I'll sleep even more," Klaus said, his smile widening.
"You!" Queenie's cheeks turned red. She scooped up water and splashed it on Klaus's face.
Klaus smiled and responded with his own splash. Soon, the laughter of an Overlord and a Shameless Bastard filled the pool.
Nari, who couldn't entirely leave the place, smiled as a tear fell from her eye. This time, she decided to leave and would return later.
She couldn't bring herself to leave her sister alone with the mischievous brat who knows no shame. But alas, she had to give them some privacy. Not that she couldn't see if she wanted to, even from miles away.
"I like your sleepwear," Klaus said, making Queenie blush. The clothing clung to her body in a rather revealing way, and now that she was in the pool, it became even more so.
"I... I am trying something new," Queenie managed to say.
"Well, I love it. You should keep trying more of these," Klaus said, smiling.
"Really?" Queenie looked genuinely happy to hear that.
While Nari had made her wear such clothing, the question remained: where did she get them from? Since they were her clothes, it only meant she wanted to wear them.
The reason, however, stemmed from her twin sister, Ohema. Back on the moon after the tribulation, while Klaus was unconscious, the two sisters, who had finally become true sisters, spent a lot of time together.
One of those times, Ohema asked her about her relationship with Klaus. Her answer back then had been, "It's complicated."
Of course, Ohema took it the way she wanted and decided to lecture her on how to seduce Klaus.
In one of their lessons, she suggested using such revealing clothing to attract him. And so, Queenie took her advice. Now, hearing Klaus liked it, she was beyond happy.
'Thank you, big sis,' she said inwardly.
If only she knew, revealing or not, Klaus had already set his sights on her and wouldn't have allowed her to slip through his fingers.
Klaus moved closer to her and placed his hands on her shoulder. "I love them. And don't worry, I'll stay here for another night if you don't mind, so I can appraise the rest if you have any."
Queenie blushed, knowing she had a bag full of them. In fact, she wasn't sure which ones to buy, so she had bought a whole lot.
"I don't mind if you stay another night, but you must go back down to the academy. Your friends must be worried." Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
"Okay, I will. But for now, let's spend some time together," Klaus said, moving his face close to hers. Queenie didn't resist but also didn't make any advances toward him.
In the end, their lips met, and the kiss began. It started slowly, but it grew a little more intense as time went by. Of course, it was just a kiss and nothing more.
But the kiss alone was enough to leave both of them panting for breath after 10 minutes of intense tongue battling.
"That was awesome," Klaus said, looking Queenie in the eye. Of course, she was blushing like a tomato.
"I hope you're not going to run away, right?" Klaus asked in a teasing tone. Their first kiss had been rather awkward.
Queenie was the one that kiss him, then run away. The second kiss came when Klaus helped her with her tribulation back on the moon.
The third was right after they left the moon. That kiss had been haunting her ever since. But now, with Klaus in her arms, she didn't want it to end.
And so, the Leader of the Overlords decided to give her heart to Klaus, who, in one way or another, was about to experience a world of pain from a certain redhead.
But for now, they continued to kiss, neither ready to take things to the next stage. In fact, Klaus didn't want to make any advances today. This time, he wanted to wait and let the ladies make their move.
An hour later, the two were in each other's arms, lounging in cabana chairs, still kissing. Klaus didn't mind, as he had already experienced this before.
Ohema was the same, so he wasn't surprised when Queenie also went in for the kiss. Three hours later, they were done and freshened up.
Queenie wanted to show Klaus around her home. Of course, Klaus and the senior were also looking for the item the senior had mentioned, which would help with his illusion class.

THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSEC471 Nari's New Friends
It had been a day since Klaus and Nari's situation unfolded in the outer section of the academy. Yet, word had already spread like wildfire through the inner and outer sections, taking everyone by storm.
First, most had never seen an Overlord up close before. This was a first for nearly everyone. Second, no one expected an Overlord to appear on their second day at the academy—yet it happened.
Then there was the shock of discovering that Klaus and an Overlord were friends. This revelation hit particularly hard for the haters who had come to the academy to make Klaus's life miserable.
They were forced to reconsider their plans, realizing that the Klaus they thought they knew and the Klaus they were seeing now were two very different people.
Somehow, he seemed even strange and, truth be told, much harder to oppose.
The haters had to convene for an emergency meeting to re-strategize.
As for Klaus's friends, they were all in a state of stunned disbelief.
Nia, Asha, Aoi, Lulu, Lucy, and the rest of Klaus's companions—including his sister—were utterly dumbfounded. Although they were familiar with Ohema and Miriam, this felt completely different.
Nari was widely known as an Overlord. The scary one among them is now widely known as friends with Klaus in the academy.
No one had seen that coming.
Sitting under the same pavilion where they had gathered the day before, Klaus's friends were currently talking about the shocking events that happened yesterday
"I can't believe Klaus knew the Fire Queen Nari and is even friends with her," Asha said, her voice a mix of cheer and disbelief.
"Little brother is awesome," Hanna said with a small smile. The rest of the ladies nodded in agreement. He truly was remarkable, especially for managing such a troublesome lady as his friend.
"Do you think Klaus and she are a thing?" Anna asked, making the ladies glance at each other's faces.
"I don't think so. Judging by their relationship, I'd say they're just friends. But... I don't think it's that simple. There's something deeper at play here," Lucy deduced thoughtfully.
"She did mention Klaus used her to get to her big sister. Who exactly is this big sister?" Aoi added, her reasoning immediately making the ladies pause and step back in realization.
"The only person the Fire Queen ever referred to as her sister was the leader of the Overlords. You don't think she's talking about her, do you?" Lulu asked, her tone laced with apprehension.
Anna, Lily, and Hanna, who had already pieced it together—considering Ohema had told them she was twins with the leader of the Overlords—began to smile knowingly.
Even Lucy seemed unaware of this revelation despite her connection to Ohema.
Lucy, Miriam, and Ohema were the only three women who could truly be considered Klaus's. They were the only ones who had given him their purity and had been marked with the Paragon Mark.
Yet, despite the bond, Ohema had always refrained from revealing too much to spoil certain things.
"What are you three smiling about? Spill it," Lucy demanded, narrowing her eyes at them.
Hanna and the two vixens' smiles widened mischievously. But just as they were about to speak, the air around them cracked open, and a striking red-haired beauty stepped through the fissure.
The moment she appeared, the atmosphere fell silent. Conversations ceased, and all eyes turned to her.
Nari stopped, her gaze sweeping over them before she smiled—a smile filled with unspoken meanings.
"Don't mind me. Go on with your mingling," she said lightly.
With that, she walked gracefully toward the pavilion where Lucy and the ladies gathered, commanding their attention.
Eyes followed her every step as she walked toward Lucy and her group of fairies.
"Ladies, how are you all doing?" Nari greeted the moment she stepped into the pavilion. She carried herself with ease, and like any ordinary woman, she sat gracefully beside Hanna.
"You ladies are Klaus's women, huh? Not bad. I knew I picked the right one for my sister," Nari said with a smile, wrapping an arm casually around Hanna.
"You're his big sister, right?"
In those three sentences, neither Lucy nor her group managed to respond. They sat frozen in stunned silence.
The reason? An Overlord was sitting among them, and the entire academy's focus had now shifted squarely onto their group. It was overwhelming.
As they remained speechless, caught between awe and disbelief, Nari seemed to relish the reactions on their faces.
"Relax, ladies," she said with a soft chuckle.
"You're all Klaus's women, which makes me like a big sister to you. Feel free to call me Nari, but if you prefer, 'Big Sister Nari' works too. Now, can I know your names?"
Her words seemed to snap them back to reality, pulling them out of their daze.
"I am Lucy."
"I am Aoi."
"I am Anna."
"
"
"
"I am Hanna."
"Nice to meet you all. As I mentioned earlier, I am Nari. And yes, I am an Overlord, but don't mind that. In my heart, I see myself as just Nari. The Overlord part is merely a title people gave me.
That said, now that I have chosen Klaus as the husband of my big sister, we will all be friends from now on. This means we can talk about normal things like sisters and friends do." Nari said with a smile.
"When you say husband for your big sister, are you talking about the leader of the Overlords, the Battle Demon, Queenie?" Lucy asked, her voice strained.
"Well, duh." Nari smiled, but her response left the other ladies frozen in place.
Queenie was known as the Battle Demon, a title earned from her ferocity on the battlefield.
It was said that during the early days of the apocalypse, her mere presence sent waves of terror, even among the monsters and zombies who dared not approach her. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
Despite her elegant and petite appearance, Queenie's aura while wielding her sword was enough to make hearts tremble in fear.
"Relax, ladies. Queenie is actually a friendly person. She may seem uptight and cold at first, but once you get to know her, you'll fall in love with her.
"I'm here to let you know that Klaus is fine and will return tomorrow. Of course, I also wanted to meet you all and become friends with you.
I hope you don't mind my presence."
The Nari speaking now was completely different from the one Klaus knew. While both had a childish air about them, this one was much calmer—unlike the other, who had burned his shirt simply because he failed to call her.
The ladies took some time to calm down. But after their shock, they started to warm up to the idea of having an Overlord as their friend and big sister.
This, of course, means those who are jealous of them start to seeth in anger. Because of Klaus, an Overlord has become friends with those they are jealous of and want to wipe out.
They wouldn't be able to do anything anymore. With Nari's presence, they wouldn't be able to do much.
Most started to rethink their approaches, knowing they wouldn't be able to touch Klaus and his pals for the next few months.
But as to whether Klaus would touch them, only the stars can tell.

THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSEC472 The Red Poison Illusion Pea Fruit
"Why are you blushing? I told you not to get curious, yet you did," Klaus said, holding Queenie's hands as they strolled along the mountain's peak.
"You could have told me it was your... this thing." Queenie's blush deepened as she struggled to get the words out.
"Well, I got excited, and little Klaus decided to respond. It's your fault for wearing such revealing clothes—not that I'm complaining or anything." Klaus smiled mischievously.
Little Klaus had made his presence known during their kissing session, driven by Klaus's excitement. When Queenie felt it press against her thigh, her curiosity got the better of her, leading her to touch it to confirm her suspicions.
Let's just say the leader of the Overlords was utterly blown away by what she felt. The blush that had spread across her face since that moment refused to fade.
"You're wicked," Queenie pouted, her voice soft and accusatory.
"No need to look so flustered, dear. You'll be playing with it soon enough," Klaus said with a teasing laugh that echoed across the mountain peak.
Queenie could only bury her face in his neck, seeking refuge from her embarrassment as they continued to stroll through the breathtaking scenery.

The mountain peak seemed to touch the clouds.
Stunning structures, vibrant plants, blooming flowers, and carefully tended gardens created a paradise-like atmosphere.
Klaus couldn't help but be amazed by how beautifully the mountain's peak had been designed.
"This place is beautiful," Klaus said, surveying the area.
"Well, Nari seems to think living in a place surrounded by plant life will calm me down and make me more human," Queenie replied.
"Well, jokes on her. You're not human at all, am I right?" Klaus, who knew Queenie was neither human nor moonborn, smiled at her comment.
"I guess you could say that. But she was right, though. Living here, tending to the garden—it does seem to have made me more grounded."
Klaus turned and held her hand.
"You don't have to worry about that anymore. With me here, you'll transition perfectly into your Asura self without any trouble. Even if you conduct a slaughter, you won't be overwhelmed by bloodlust."
"Mmm," Queenie nodded at his words. For some reason, she felt better hearing that.
Truth be told, she had been worried about her transformation. Now, she wouldn't benefit from absorbing cores. She would only grow stronger by absorbing the blood of the monsters she killed.
This meant the more she killed, the stronger she would become. Of course, she could still benefit if a core was filled with Blood Qi.
But the idea of depending solely on blood—it disturbed her deeply. Of course, Klaus had a solution for her, or more precisely, she would discover the solution herself soon enough.
While she would need blood to grow, there was a technique she could use to extract only the best part of it after each kill. She wouldn't have to drain blood like a vampire every time.
"Speaking of Nari, where is she now?" Klaus asked. Although she was fiery, he seemed to enjoy her company.
"She's down there talking to your ladies," Queenie replied.
"You mean your sisters," Klaus laughed.
Queenie blushed. "I guess you could say that."
"Don't worry, they're easy to get to know and like. In fact, you should invite them here and spend some time together since I know you won't go down there."
"Why do you assume I won't go down there?" Queenie raised an eyebrow.
"Because you're too shy."
"You..." Queenie chose to ignore him.
While she is enjoying their banter, she knew Klaus would get serious soon and begin cultivating in earnest. When that happened, she wouldn't be able to see him regularly.
In a way, she'd just have to make do with her new sisters.
'I guess I'll go visit Big Sister and meet Mother-in-law. I can't believe I'm calling Klaus's mother "Mother-in-law." Who would have thought the Queenie, who never smiled at anyone, would one day have a boyfriend—and a shameless one at that?'
"Earth to Queenie. What are you thinking about in that head of yours?" Klaus snapped her out of her thoughts.
They continued strolling across the mountain peak, talking about random things. Klaus felt rather happy doing this with Queenie. It was simple—just talking, holding hands, and getting to know each other better.
He decided to do the same with the rest of his women. It would be nice to understand them more deeply before making any intimate moves.
"So, are you okay with Nari choosing to become an instructor and, worse, living in the same room as me?" Klaus finally asked.
"What is there to be concerned about? She's your problem now. I can finally have some peace of mind here." Queenie smiled, clearly understanding what Klaus was hinting at. She wasn't about to help him deal with the fiery woman.
"You—" Klaus was dumbfounded.
'Have I been conspired against by these two vixens?'
"What, are you afraid of her?" Queenie teased him, a mischievous glint in her eye.
"Tsk, scared of her? I'm more worried about impregnating her."
"Ha, good luck with that. Do you think Nari is a cookie you can crack? Let me tell you, back in college, Nari was known as the 'Boyfriend Beater.'"
"She never had a boyfriend, but if your boyfriend was cheating on you, just tell her, and she'd pay him a visit," Queenie smirked, her eyes glinting with nostalgia as she recalled the good old days.
"Oh? So, have you ever had a boyfriend?" Klaus asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No. I never had the time or any reason to have one. Now that I think about it, why haven't I ever felt like all those... bitches?"
"Hey, language," Klaus said, stunned. The calm and composed Queenie, using such terms? That was definitely a new side of her.
"Whatever," Queenie said with a shrug. "My point is, Nari isn't like everyone else. If you dare make a move on her, don't say I didn't warn you. And when she starts beating you up, don't expect me to save you," she added with a sly smile.
"Tsk, I have no intention of provoking her wrath," Klaus muttered. "But if she tries anything funny, she'll end up giving birth to two phoenixes."
They continued their stroll, walking past many sights. Klaus and the senior connected, discussing ideas to help with his Illusion Class.
He could use poison to enhance its poisonous aspect, but he still lacked the element of illusion.
Of course, he had some skills and techniques at his disposal, but with the class still underdeveloped, he couldn't do much.
But from what the senior was talking about, Klaus might soon become the best illusionist in the world. One day, he could even become the Overlord of all illusionists, with his class leading the way.
After strolling for a while, they came to a stop in front of a field of fruits. Klaus quickly picked an apple and began chewing on it.
They moved through the field, admiring the various fruits. However, just a few minutes into the field, a new set of fruits appeared in front of them.
[Brat, this is it. This is the Red Poison Illusion Pea Fruit.]
"Red Poison Illusion Pea Fruit..." Klaus muttered, and Queenie's brow furrowed.

THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSEC473 Reality Check
"Wait, you know what these fruits are called?" Queenie asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Of course. These are called Red Poison Illusion Pea Fruits. And as their name suggests, they can help those with the Illusion Class as well as poison type class," Klaus explained, deciding to reveal the truth, especially since there were dozens of these fruits in the field.
True to their name, the fruits resembled peas—small red peas, with each branch holding dozens of them. They were all ripe, and some had already started shedding as new flowers began to bloom.
Klaus quickly picked one and was about to put it in his mouth, but Queenie slapped it from his hand.
"You can't do that. These things are poisonous. Although today is the first time hearing of its name, we've researched it and found out it's highly potent in poison."
"Even I don't dare eat it," Queenie explained.
"Well, I have high resistance to poison, and the fruit is only poisonous if you eat the seed. But even so, I'm confident I can eat it without facing any danger," Klaus said, picking another red pea.
"Are you sure? I don't have any antidote on me," Queenie said, clearly worried.
"Don't worry." Klaus placed the pea in his mouth and began munching on it. Of course, immediately after the first nectar touched his tongue, he could feel the effects.
[You have consumed a Poison. Your Nine Reincarnation Divine Body has absorbed the poison.]
[Your Poison Overlord Talent grows stronger.]
[Your Poison Illusionist Overlord class grows stronger.]
"As I thought, this will be my snack for the rest of my stay in this academy." Klaus smiled, chewing on the seed of the pea.
The nectar enhances illusions, while the seed focuses more on poison.
"Are you alright?" Queenie asked, her tone laced with concern.
"I'm fine. This fruit is perfect for me—it'll help with my illusion class," Klaus replied confidently.
"Wait, you have an illusion class? Since when?" Queenie asked, her eyes narrowing in disbelief. She knew Klaus was skilled with the sword and spear.
She also knew he was a Spirit Master, but never in her wildest dreams did she imagine he had an illusionist class all this time.
"I'm a man of many talents," Klaus said smoothly as he stepped closer. Wrapping an arm around her waist, his hand wandered lower, brushing against her butt before giving it a gentle squeeze.
Queenie's cheeks turned crimson, heat rising to her face at the bold touch.
"Can I see it?" she asked, sounding composed despite her embarrassment.
"Sure," Klaus replied with a mischievous grin. He then tapped into the only illusion technique he could currently use.
"Reality Check: Infinity Me," she muttered immediately. In an instant, four different versions of Klaus appeared.
One wielded a sword, clad in the attire of a samurai.
The second held a book resembling a scholar who had just made a groundbreaking discovery, glancing through old records to ensure he wasn't plagiarizing.
The third stood motionless, his eyes narrowed at Queenie, scrutinizing her like a patient under examination. His attire, resembling that of a seasoned doctor, left no doubt about his role.
The fourth, however, held a sign that boldly declared, "I am awesome, right?"*
"Unbelievable," Queenie murmured, dumbfounded. She had seen many illusions in her life, but never had she encountered ones so vivid and lifelike.
"Are they real? Like clones?" she asked.
"No, but I can make them real," Klaus replied, a sly grin playing on his lips.
Of course, Klaus wasn't done. With just four of him active, he had already decided to leap straight to the fourth form of the technique.
"Watch this."
"Reality Check: Illusion Damage," he said confidently. Nothing seemed to change at first, but that was only on the surface.
The four clones sprang into action, moving toward the Red Pea tree. They plucked branches laden with peas and presented them to Klaus, who accepted them with a satisfied nod, tucking them into his spatial ring.
"Unbelievable," Queenie repeated, utterly shocked.
Klaus just smiled, knowing this technique was enough to boggle anyone's mind. No one could have anticipated the concept of illusions possessing tangible, functional forms.
"No need to be shocked. I am a man of many talents, after all," Klaus said, holding her shoulder as they moved through the pea field.
After a while, he counted thirteen Red Poison Illusion Pea Fruit plants. The discovery filled him with delight, knowing that soon he would become a terrifying existence with illusions at his command.
"This is the last of it. But I still can't believe you have an illusion class," Queenie said, still in shock.
"I just do. And soon, I will show you more. But first, I want to know more about you, since I've already shown you another side of me," Klaus replied.
"What do you want to know?" Queenie asked. Although she wanted to learn more about Klaus, she knew she couldn't push him to reveal too much.
"Tell me about your life before the apocalypse," Klaus said, genuinely curious about Earth—how it was, how people lived, and what families were like before it all came crashing down.
Queenie, who had expected a more intimate question, sighed. She began recounting her life, starting with her high school years, as far back as she could remember.
She talked about how she and Nari met and how much she loved reading about ancient mythology. She shared her fascination with certain gods and legends, speaking passionately about them.
She said a lot, and Klaus listened intently, his focus sharp and unwavering. After sharing her backstory, she turned the question on him, asking about his life before his awakening.
In the end, their conversation settled into a melancholic tone. The last time Klaus shared his story was back in Stone Valley, but hearing it again made Queenie sad.
"Don't worry. If my old man is out there, I'll find him. I know for a fact he's still alive," Klaus said with a small, reassuring smile.
"I know you will. You're a man of many talents, after all," Queenie replied with a smile, an attempt to lift his spirits.
Klaus, of course, appreciated her effort but wasn't about to let a chance to be shameless slip by.
"If you're really worried about my mental health, you could solve that with your lips," he teased, leaning closer to her.
"Let's go back first. We still have the night ahead of us—we can kiss then. For now, I just want to spend time with you before handing you over to Nari," Queenie said, smiling through her blush.
"I'm screwed, aren't I?" Klaus sighed.
"Look on the bright side—she'll be giving you special missions," Queenie said, trying to cheer him up.
"Yeah, well, I don't need special missions if I can't have peace of mind."
"You can always go to your ladies. They'll cheer you up," Queenie added, her cheeks reddening as she said it.
"Are you telling me I can come to you anytime?" Klaus asked, clearly enjoying the moment.
"I guess. But we can't do the... you know... just yet," Queenie stammered, her blush deepening.
"Look how flustered you are. Don't worry; I'll wait until you're ready." In truth, Klaus wasn't ready either. He wanted things to flow naturally.
'I have to see Big Sister before taking the next step. I need to learn from her,' Queenie thought, sighing inwardly.
She'd never dated or spent time understanding relationships between men and women, and now she felt the need for guidance—just like Miriam once sought help from Klaus's mom.
A while later, they were back inside the house. The rest of the day and night passed in each other's arms, savoring each other's lips.

THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSEC474 Back to The Outer Section
"So, you'll be leaving today, huh?" Queenie said, lying half-naked in Klaus's arms, still nestled in her small bed. The sleepwear she had chosen tonight was even more revealing than yesterday's.
Klaus, naturally, didn't mind at all. His hand brushed lightly across her body as he carefully avoided venturing too close to her chest, knowing full well that losing control was a very real possibility.
"I'm just going to be down there. If you miss me too much, you can always pop by," Klaus said with a playful smile.
"I will... but I have to visit Big Sister first," Queenie replied. She was determined to be more proactive now that she'd accepted Klaus as her man. Shyness wouldn't get her anywhere.
"We haven't even started anything yet, and you're already planning to meet your mother-in-law. I have to say, Queenie, I love that you're taking charge," Klaus teased, his tone dripping with amusement.
"Tsk... Keep teasing me, and I'll make sure Nari disciplines you for me," Queenie shot back with a smirk. She knew Klaus was cautious of the fiery woman—if not outright wary.
Why? Because while Klaus was undeniably strong, he was nothing compared to an Ascendant.
And Nari? If she wasn't the second-strongest among the Overlords, it was only because she'd been slacking in her training lately. Either way, the verdict was clear: Klaus was as good as cooked.
"I'll handle her somehow," Klaus sighed.
"Yeah, well, you might want to be wary of that thing poking my back. Nari can be a little... how should I put it? A little revealing with her body. And let me tell you, she's absolutely gorgeous when you see her."
"Better not listen to your 'little stick' and pay more attention to your brain. You might end up screaming in your sleep," Queenie said, her laughter echoing through the room, causing Klaus to sigh again.
"I'll manage. But once I rise to a level where I can beat her, I'll make sure she experiences a world of pain. Trust me, I don't shy away from disciplining beautiful ladies, and Nari fits the profile."
Queenie shook her head at him.
"And what do you mean by 'my little stick'? Do you want to test it out?" Klaus asked, recalling how she'd referred to his Paragon rod.
Queenie's body stiffened when she felt something hot press against her back. Klaus just smiled and added, "You're lucky I'm a good son of my father and a prince of my mom, or you'd be screaming by now."
Klaus kissed her forehead before deciding to get dressed. Queenie could only admire his fine physique and the tattoos decorating his back for a few fleeting seconds before he finished wearing his attire.
"Be sure to send some of the peas to your sister. They will help her greatly," Klaus said, kissing her lips. After a few minutes of tender affection, Queenie waved her hand, and Klaus disappeared.
A split second later, a red-haired lady appeared behind Queenie and delivered a playful slap on her exposed Butt.
"I'm proud of you, big sis," Nari said, leaping into her embrace like a little girl.
"Nari... were you spying on us?" Queenie asked, her tone a mix of curiosity and irritation. While she could have stopped Nari from spying, she had been so lost in her joy and pleasure that she forgot.
"No, I was just keeping an eye on any disturbances nearby. I didn't want anyone else snooping on your... special moment," Nari replied with a guilty smile.
"Tsk..." Queenie decided to ignore the slap and instead opted for a swim. Nari followed. Soon, the two beauties were gazing at each other in the pool.
"Don't make things difficult for him. If I hear you've done anything bad to him, I'll beat you up," Queenie warned.
"Relax, big sis. Klaus is like a brother to me; I wouldn't hurt him in any way."
Queenie knew she was lying but chose not to say anything. Whatever happened between the two, she had already found her happiness. She could only hope they wouldn't kill each other—that would be a disaster.
***
Klaus, who had vanished from the mountain peak, reappeared almost instantly in front of his room. Queenie used the power of the void to teleport him back to his room.
Although she was still in the early stages, using it within a certain mile was more than enough for her to handle.
"Void Travel, huh? I can't wait to gain such an ability," he muttered before focusing on his connection with Lucy.
'My wood princess, where are you?'
Lucy, currently exploring the outer section of the academy with the girls and Klaus's male friends, smiled when she felt his message.
'Come to the pavilion,' she replied.
Turning to the others, she added, "Ladies, let's head back to the pavilion and wait for Klaus. Big Sister Nari said he'd be back today."
Lucy, not wanting to answer too many questions if she revealed Klaus had already returned, decided to lie instead.
The ladies and Klaus's male friends decided to head back to one of the academy's hotspots. Along the way, countless eyes followed their every movement, captivated by their presence.
Thanks to Nari's visit the previous day, the entire academy had deemed them VVIPs. This newfound status elevated their celebrity standing, further amplifying their fame.
Everyone was eager to form connections with them, especially Klaus's male friends.
While the ladies kept bringing attention to Klaus's male friends, the vixens who had already attached themselves to them clung to them like glue, leaving no room for any tigress.
Mark and the others resigned themselves to their current companions, realizing they'd have to make do with the ones already by their sides.
Of course, Daniel had other ideas—he wanted Klaus to talk to their partners and convince them to give the boys more freedom.
For now, however, the women remained as docile as delicate flowers.
A few minutes later, Lucy and the ladies arrived at the pavilion and claimed an empty spot.
"When will Klaus get here? I want to show him my talent," Asha said, casting a sly look at Lily and Anna. The three had formed their own clique, calling themselves the 'Three Little Vixens.'
Though all three were considered Klaus's women, they chose to separate themselves from the others, forming a private group to hold their secret meetings away from everyone else.
"I also want to show him my talents," Lily said.
"Me too," Anna added.
Hanna, who understood what the two ladies were discussing, just sighed.
She was already planning to have a long and serious talk with her little brother about how he should handle the women in his life. Otherwise, she was sure he wouldn't get a single day of rest.
Naturally, Hanna wanted Klaus to spend less time entertaining them and more time focusing on his training.
Of course, if he refused to listen, she had no qualms about teaming up with a certain redhead to ensure he stayed dedicated to his studies.
Long story short, Klaus was bound to regret having a sister who had recently grown a little overprotective of him.
"Ladies, look who's back," Klaus announced, using his movement technique to appear suddenly and sneak up on them.
It worked quite well, too.

(A/N: There will be a two-week time skip, but don't worry; I'll fill you in on what happened during those two weeks. Also, no smut occurred since a certain blue-haired beauty with an untainted divine jade body threatened her brother to focus more on his training.)

THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSEC475 Nari's Arrival, Setting Rules
"Brother, I'm done arranging everything. Just make sure you don't mess up the room, and you'll be fine living in it with a lady," Hanna said as she laid the second bed in Klaus's room.
That bed, of course, belongs to Nari, who was just there to make his life a living hell.
"Thank you, big sis," Klaus said, kissing her forehead.
"Mom told me to take care of you, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. Of course, you can choose to ignore my warnings—but you already know what will happen if you do," Hanna said with a sweet smile that carried a subtle hint of wickedness.
"I promise I won't chase skirts and will focus on training," Klaus sighed.
A few days ago, Hanna had decided to set some ground rules for him. He was only allowed to spend time with his ladies on Saturdays and Sundays.
Weekdays were strictly reserved for lectures, training, and cultivating. Naturally, before implementing these rules, Hanna sat the ladies down and had a talk with them too.
Although they weren't thrilled about the arrangement, their resistance crumbled when Hanna threatened to involve Nari, who had taken a liking to her due to their shared class.
This alliance made the ladies fall in line and accept her terms.
In the end, the overprotective big sister came out victorious.
"What are your schedules today, big sis?" Klaus asked. They had already registered for their lectures, so each would be attending different sessions depending on their elemental talent and class placement.
"I've been challenged by ten people, so I need to head to the duel hall to schedule the matches. After that, I'll attend the Archery lecture before wrapping up for the day," Hanna replied, making Klaus smile.
"Make sure you kick their butts, big sis," Klaus said confidently. He wasn't worried about Hanna losing—somehow, he just knew she would win.
The real question was how people would react when she unleashed her lightning, which was on the verge of awakening.
"What about you, brother? What's your schedule?"
"I have to wait for Nari. After that, I'll head to the Monsters and Beasts Anatomy class," Klaus replied.
"Really?" Hanna's brow furrowed at his response.
"I've heard only a handful of people go to that lecture," she said, clearly puzzled.
She hadn't chosen that class herself, as she didn't see its value—there were plenty of books on that subject, and she doubted the lecture could add much to what she could read on her own.
"Yeah, well, I like learning about monsters. Call me crazy, but I'll enjoy that class," Klaus said with a grin.
"You do you. I'll check in later to make sure you're not sneaking off to see your ladies," Hanna said with a mischievous smile.
"You're lucky there are no romantic feelings between us. Otherwise, I'd make you regret controlling my love life."
"Too bad I'm not into your handsome face," Hanna teased before running off.
Klaus smiled. "That bastard Jacob and his family nearly made me lose such an amazing sister. I swear, one day, I'll pop down to the underworld and give them another beating," he said with a grin, a little joy showing on her lips.
For now, he was happy Hanna was with him. Having a sister like her was the best thing ever for him. If there were a meter to show their trust and happiness level, it would surely measure in the millions.
He laid down on his bed and turned to look at the one beside him. After a moment's thought, he used his mind to move Nari's bed farther away, ensuring she wouldn't roll onto his in her sleep.
"What did I do to deserve this?" he muttered. "On one hand, there's a fairy that any man would love to live with, but on the other, she's so crazy that she can't even be looked at twice."
[What are you complaining about? Aren't you the man for the ladies? Sounds like a challenge to crack this nut. You're making me look bad here, brat,] the senior teased, fanning the flames.
[Well, she's here now, so good luck. Hehe.]
As the senior's laughter echoed in his mind, the space around the building cracked. Nari suddenly leaped out, landing softly on the ground.
"Honey, I'm home," Nari called out cheerfully.
Klaus stepped outside to open the door for her. Soon, they were both inside the room.
"Why is my bed far from yours? We can't have that; move it closer to yours," Nari commanded immediately. Klaus, like an obedient child, complied.
"Good. Now, let's establish some rules," Nari said, sitting down confidently.
"Sounds like a plan." Klaus was actually pleased—this was also a chance for him to set some boundaries.
"First rule," Nari began, "you are not allowed to have sex with any of your ladies in here. Of course, they can come and play around, but it stops at that."
"Okay," Klaus nodded. He figured it wouldn't be an issue; he could always visit them in their rooms.
"Second," she continued, "you have to absorb ten monster cores before going to bed every night. Don't worry—I'll supply the cores."
"Okay," Klaus replied with a smile. More cores meant more power; he wasn't about to refuse that.
"Third," Nari added, "you must make your bed every morning as soon as you wake up. I refuse to live with a messy bastard."
Klaus smirked but didn't argue. He wasn't foolish enough to test her patience.
"My turn," he said, leaning back. "You're not allowed to wear provocative clothing. Anything that doesn't fully cover your chest or backside is banned. Also, you can't disturb me while I'm asleep."
"What do you mean I can't dress how I like? It's my body, not yours," Nari shot back. "That said, your rule is rejected. But bear in mind—if you have any lustful thoughts, I'll know and deal with you. And don't worry; I'm not a witch, so I won't disturb your sleep."
Klaus clenched his fist, tempted to retaliate, but he restrained himself. She was clearly provoking him, and he wasn't about to rise to the bait.
"You do know I'm your sister's boyfriend, right?" he said with a warning tone. "While I don't particularly care if you prance around half-naked, I'd advise you not to push your luck. If you ever wake up pregnant one day, don't blame me."
"Tsk, I'd like to see you try," Nari retorted with a smirk.
"Fine, I'm late for my first day of class. Bye." Klaus left the room, heading off to the lectures he'd been eagerly awaiting for the past two weeks.
Left alone in the room, Nari giggled softly, holding her cheeks. A few seconds later, Queenie appeared out of thin air.
"You really want to go through with this?" Queenie asked, her voice calm but laced with concern.
"Yes, big sis," Nari replied softly. "I can't stay like this forever. If I don't find myself, I'll be stuck at the Ascendent Stage for the rest of my life."
"Alright. I hope you succeed," Queenie said, giving her a small smile. "And please, don't beat up my boyfriend. He's the only one I have." Her cheeks flushed a light pink as she said that.
"I won't make life hard for him. After all, he's my salvation. I just hope he doesn't anger me too often," Nari replied with a faint smirk.
"Don't worry—he's not stupid. And who knows? You two might hit it off. Klaus is as destructive as you are... in all the worst ways," Queenie said with a teasing grin. She hugged Nari tightly and whispered something in her ear before vanishing into thin air.
"Tsk, I won't fall for that bastard," Nari muttered as she jumped onto her bed. Moments later, she was fast asleep.
It is said that wicked people sleep during the day so that they may cause chaos at night.

THE LAST PARAGON IN THE APOCALYPSEC476 Species On Earth
Immediately, Klaus left the room. He pulled up his tracker to check the location of his first lecture at the academy. It didn't take long for him to find the directions and start heading there.
When he attended the lecture on beasts and monsters during the Genius Gathering at Sinji Valley, he and Instructor Simon got along quite well.
Klaus was fascinated by monsters and was eager to learn more about them and their current standing on Earth. Back then, they had not yet taken the Union Trial, so there wasn't much he could say.
However, he had promised to dive deeper into the topic once he joined the academy.
Now that Klaus was finally there, he had registered for two hours of that class, two hours of the Spirit Master class, and two hours of swordsmanship.
Every disciple was advised to register for a minimum of three classes. Klaus, who didn't need most of the classes because of the extra effort he had put into developing his core, chose only the last two to meet the requirement.
He would have preferred Aoi as his swordsman instructor and Lulu as his Spirit Master tutor. Of course, that didn't mean he would slack off in the other two classes he had chosen.
"Instructor Simon, good to see you again." Klaus was the first to arrive and immediately greeted the less popular instructor at the academy.
"Klaus, you're here. Good to see you too." Simon looked genuinely pleased to see a disciple in his class.
"Well, I enjoyed our last lesson, so I'm eager to learn more," Klaus said, taking a seat in the front.
The lecture hall wasn't very large, likely because most disciples didn't enjoy attending it.
"I'm happy you're here," Instructor Simon said, sitting across from Klaus.
"Am I early?" Klaus asked, glancing at the empty seats around him.
Instructor Simon smiled slightly before replying, "I'm afraid you might be the only one taking my class this year. Most tend to drop it because of how unpopular it is and because it's similar to the beast-taming classes.
"Students usually prefer those classes, especially since many who take my course are also enrolled in beast-taming or something similar."
"I see. Well, we still have some time. Let's wait and see if anyone else shows up," Klaus suggested. He had barely finished speaking when a certain redhead walked into the room and sat down beside him.

"Nari, what are you doing here?" Klaus asked.
Instructor Simon, on the other hand, froze in place. His eyes widened as they landed on the strikingly beautiful Overlord.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I want to attend this class, too," Nari said, blinking innocently.
"But you're an instructor. You're part of the academy staff as a tutor. Why would you want to attend a class?" Klaus asked, clearly puzzled.
"It's the same thing. I want to learn more about beasts and monsters," Nari replied nonchalantly.
Klaus sighed and turned to Instructor Simon. "Just ignore this crazy woman and focus on the lesson. In fact, you can picture her as an annoying peacock and—ouch! Why did you pinch me?"
"You called me an annoying peacock," Nari pouted, crossing her arms.
"You… I'm here to learn, okay? If you don't want to learn, just excuse us," Klaus said, shifting to the next chair to put some space between them.
"It's time, Instructor Simon. Just start the class and don't mind her," Klaus added, resigned to the fact that he might be the only serious student this year.
"O-Okay," Instructor Simon stammered, looking slightly uneasy. Nevertheless, he decided to proceed with the lesson.
Nari, meanwhile, seemed more intent on annoying Klaus than actually paying attention to the class. Noticing this, Simon resolved to start and finish the lesson quickly, hoping she wouldn't cause him too much trouble.
"Before we begin, I have a question for you: how many species currently exist on Earth?" Instructor Simon asked Klaus.
"Three. We have humans, the Ice People, and the Water People," Klaus replied.
"I am afraid you are wrong," Instructor Simon said with a small smile.
"Although your answer may be accurate for humanoids, it is still incomplete. We have various species: humans, Ice-borns, Water-borns, zombies, beasts, and monsters.
However, this is just the general categorization we have established. While we may not have discovered all the existing races yet, we recognize six main species on Earth.
When we consider race, though, there are dozens, if not thousands, of different variations.
Before the apocalypse, we believed Earth belonged solely to humans, consisting of different races. However, we were wrong. There are far more dangers lurking beyond our initial understanding of the planet.
The Earth may seem small, but it is vast in ways you cannot yet comprehend. It holds more danger than you might think.
But don't worry. As we delve deeper into these lectures, we will come to understand that if humans become complacent, this world could be turned upside down.
But fear not; all of you are here to train and become the leaders of the earth in the coming years when we will have no choice but to stand up and claim our earth.
You are here to train and rise to a level where you can become the protectors of Earth."
Instructor Simon turned and glanced at Nari, who was staring intently at Klaus. Klaus, in turn, was fully focused on the lesson, paying close attention to every word Instructor Simon said.
It was an odd dynamic.
'It seems he genuinely wants to learn more about beasts and monsters, huh? Well, good for him. This weirdo really is an expert in this field,' Nari thought to herself, noting the serious expression on Klaus's face.
'It seems she's quite interested in him. I suppose this young man has more charm than any other man on Earth,' Instructor Simon mused, his gaze flicking toward Nari.
'Looks like I'm in the right place,' Klaus thought with a smile, his relentless curiosity about the Earth and the creatures inhabiting it finally beginning to find its outlet.
Nari paused momentarily before transmitting her thoughts to Instructor Simon through her unique telepathic abilities.
'You can go ahead and tell him everything, even the classified information. He seems genuinely interested in this class, and I want him to understand the dangers surrounding this Earth before it's too late.'
Instructor Simon was momentarily taken aback but quickly composed himself. A small sigh escaped his lips. In truth, when he saw Klaus in his class, he was pleased and had even decided to take the lessons to a deeper level.
He wanted to explore the various races of monsters, beasts, and zombies, explaining why Earth was in such peril. However, when Nari arrived, he discarded that plan and resolved to stick to the standard syllabus.
But now, with her approval, he felt reinvigorated. He decided to begin by taking Klaus deep into the realm of beasts and monsters, giving him the foundational knowledge he would need.
"Since today is our first meeting, I'll only touch on the surface to give you a fair idea of what to expect in the coming lessons," Instructor Simon said.
"Okay," Klaus responded with a nod and a smile.
Nari also smiled, knowing that Klaus's worldview was about to shift dramatically.
