50 minutes before the family arrived
When Danilo appeared at home, he noticed that his children were looking at him with fear.
— You can say what you're thinking. I don't bite.
— Why? Because you attacked that man? — Kiala asked nervously.
Pacho also looked downcast.
— Do you remember my new talent or title, Supreme Monarch? — he asked his children.
The children nodded.
— Do you remember the abilities it grants?
They nodded again.
— Do you remember the ability, Monarch's Gaze?
The children looked at him in astonishment, as if they were beginning to understand.
— And do you remember that fool who shouted with excitement for everyone to hear that Dad's talent is incredible and that he's the protagonist's son? What do you think could happen when someone shouts that their father has the ability to evolve talents?
Danilo and Kiala looked at Pacho, who was clearly embarrassed by the mess he had caused for the family.
— After you shouted, everyone started paying attention to us. Everyone knows I have an incredible talent and treasures that no one else has. The Celestial Domain has just arrived, and every initial advantage is crucial. And everyone saw me giving you the Opportunity Stone and the Career Change Scroll. Although they don't know what it is, they understand it must be important. With my Monarch's Gaze ability, I realized that most were envious. And some were thinking about how to use me, kill me, and force me to submit. I believe his family must be quite influential.
After hearing their father's words, the children were horrified, especially Pancho. His heart filled with guilt. His carelessness had endangered the family. Tears began to fall from Kiala's eyes, and Pancho was also on the verge of crying.
— Why are you crying? Did you forget a new era has begun and the old order will no longer exist? — Danilo said calmly. — There is no need to feel fear. I believe that currently, I am the most powerful person in the world. And if not, I am the person with the greatest potential. And remember, I have the ability to see the hearts of people. I can specify which items monsters drop. We will be the most powerful in the world in the future. The talented will beg to be recruited by us, and we will have power. This begins today.
Danilo spoke with ambition and enthusiasm, hoping to infect the children with his excitement.
After hearing their father, the children calmed down and became excited. Their fear was due to the pressure that power carries, but the world had changed, and now they were the powerful ones.
Danilo looked at the red card that remained—the one that allows him to recruit three subordinates from the world of Azeroth. He thought of his people, but of the good times in the beginning, when everyone had the ambition to fight for humanity. That was long before they tasted power and its corruption. Before, people were focused on evolution and the betterment of the race. We were all enthusiasts, dreaming of a better future.
When the future arrived and humanity grew to face the powerful, greed and selfishness began to creep in. People began to reveal their true sides and started conspiring with each other, even against themselves.
Even Danilo had died at the hands of his disciple. His only disciple, out of greed, had killed him.
He thought of his talent, the Patriarch. So he decided to recruit only women. His talent compelled him to have many women. So why not choose some powerful and beautiful ones?
The first one he thought of was his love. The little servant from the Golden Crow race who rescued him, and later they became lovers. One of the main reasons for the revolution he started was her unjust death. He felt despair and helplessness.
Both were weak. She, a servant, and he, a humble human. Her inner lineage was so refined that she could not transform into Golden Crow mode, just like most creatures in the world of Azeroth. But the Golden Crow race is very elitist. Even though she was a servant, coupling with a human was a grave sin. That's why she was killed in front of him. And they were so arrogant that they left him alive to suffer. After all, he was only human, and humans were ranked the same as insects.
It was only after witnessing the death of Lesliana Vermilion that Danilo decided to revolt against injustice. He knew it was a novice mission but started in the body of a child. He stayed there so long that he gradually adapted to the new world, forgetting the original objective, and that was not real life. He didn't even think about his reincarnated identity. He stayed in Danilo Afonso's body for less than ten minutes before entering the novice mission.
Lesliana Vermilion was the first. Due to the story and unresolved feelings, she would be chosen.
Two opportunities remained, and there were many options. Danilo Afonso filtered them with his mind, and when he noticed, there were no humans left at the end of the list. Humanity is a race with infinite potential. But the true powerful and controlling beings of the world were other races, whose lineage descended from gods.
At the top of the list were two women, chosen by him: Michaela Morningstar, the living legend, the incorruptible saint of the angel race.
Considered a goddess by the angels, the being with the purest lineage since ancient times. At 12 years old, she transformed her two wings into four. At 50, four into six. At 205, six into eight. There were rumors that if she had more time, she would surely reach the top and become a supreme with twelve wings.
Alas, the heavens hate perfection and destroy what is truly beautiful.
Over 300 years, she died in an ambush by multiple races. Her potential was unlimited. If she had been given more time, the angel race would have become supreme in Azeroth. Danilo also participated in the ambush. The most powerful of the various races, including humans, held a secret meeting regarding the continent's future. They decided that the best outcome for the continent was the death of Michaela Morningstar.
The other was a woman Danilo had only seen once. It was in a secret imperial-class realm. All the powerful of the human alliance gathered and formed a supreme group. Only imperial-level beings were allowed. And Danilo, as the leader of the alliance, led the attack.
The final boss was a five-tailed fox that controlled time. It was one of the most terrible battles. And after that, Danilo could confirm the old saying that time is sovereign and space is king. Imagine attacking someone, but never hitting because they always seem a step ahead. And when you manage to strike, the creature touches the wound and rewinds time to when there was no injury. An enemy with the ability to slow down time, and you find yourself in slow motion. Or even stop time in a space, and everyone inside is frozen.
Yes, this is Leila Chronos, better known as the Queen of Fate.
