Clank—!
Darkness enveloped my vision as the doors behind me closed shut.
Raising my hand, I snapped my fingers.
Snap—!
A small flame formed in front of me, illuminating what was ahead of me.
"Rather plain..."
Apart from a small bed that sat in the corner of the room, there was nothing else in the room. Not even a toilet.
Shaking my head, I proceeded to lay down on the bed. The bed was rather hard, but I made due. Beggars couldn't be choosers.
Beside me, the flame continued illuminating the place.
Raising my hand, I glanced at my wrist.
"They sure are confident."
I had originally thought that they would've taken my bracelet away, but that never happened. This surprised me quite a bit, but who was I to complain?
This perfectly worked in my favor.
Reaching my hand out, I slowly clenched it. I then opened my mouth and asked.
"...Are you sure Amanda's father is the Overlord?"
"Yes."
A voice echoed from near the door of the cell. I lowered my hand and frowned.
"I have no choice but to become an Emperor rank, don't I?"
"If you want to meet him, that's your only choice."
"I see..."
I nodded. Raising my head, I gazed in his direction.
There was something I was curious about.
"Apart from more resources, what's so good about being an Overlord rank?"
"Freedom."
He only replied with one word, but that was enough for me to understand everything. Sitting up straight, I asked.
"Are you saying that once someone reaches Overlord rank, they will be freed?"
"Not quite."
My other self shook his head.
Turning his head to gaze in the direction of the door, he replied.
"For an Overlord to gain freedom, they must first win against one of the ruling Dukes."
"Tsss..."
I took a cold breath of hair.
"Beat on of the ruling Dukes? I assume their strength will also be suppressed."
If not, how would anyone be able to win?
The other me nodded.
"It will be, but unlike the challengers, they won't wear any artifacts to suppress their strength."
"This..."
Wasn't this shady? What if they were about to lose? Considering their pride, it wouldn't be strange if they resorted to some petty trick.
"It's exactly as you think."
Confirming my words, the other me leaned his back against the wall.
"Freedom is merely some false hope given to ignite the fighting spirits of the contenders. They never planned on freeing them from the very beginning."
"As expected."
Letting out a long breath, I sighed.
"Don't worry too much. Just focus on reaching Emperor rank for now. All other things will come naturally."
"...Alright."
