Kenny emanated a different aura, a violent and uncontrolled one. He wasn''t his usual self at the moment, something different had taken ahold of his consciousness, something that certainly was not human.


    Kenny''s regalia suddenly levitated out of the demons foot and flew into his hand. The demon attempted to use this chance to run away, but it didn''t get far.


    Kenny lifted his arm and swung his sword down as a wave of Xin was released from the blade of the sword, slicing the demon’s right limbs.


    The demon let out a ear deafening screech as it tumbled down onto the ground. It tried to crawl away with it''s remaining limbs, the blood pouring out from its wounds painted the floors red as it crawled.


    Kenny, or whatever was controlling him, merely walked towards it, eventually reaching the demon. The demon tried everything it could to get away, even throwing a few attacks. Kenny stabbed it through the back, securing it down and in place. He grabbed its two remaining limbs and tore those off as well.


    Ripping flesh echoed through the labyrinth hallways yet again. Kenny grabbed his sword and pulled it out of the demons body, then stabbed it again, over and over as he laughed looking at the pitiful state of the creature, one evil and wicked laugh.


    ''Kenny!!''


    Kenny suddenly came to his senses as he looked around to his surroundings.


    ''Have you finally come to your senses?''


    Kenny looked confused, all he could remember are the demons eyeless faces as they opened their mouths to devour him, then suddenly he blacked out.


    "Wh-what happened?"


    ''You suddenly started acting weird, you had these markings on your body, your nails grew sharp and then you began to mutilate the demons, quite brutal.''


    Kenny felt a sudden and intense headache, the memory of what had happened came rushing to him.


    ''I… I did that?''


    ''My guess is that it''s a side effect of some sorts, from you turning into a demon.''


    ''What kind of side effect involves me blacking out and making me do that?''


    ''I''m not sure… since you are the first human in the history of purgatory to turn into a demon, at least according to the records, side effects and other things may happen to you that I''m not aware of. What just happened there is one of them. You seemed to have lost control of yourself, while something else took over.''


    ''Then… what took over me?''


    ''I don''t know, but it wasn''t pleasant...''Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    As Kenny tried to walk, his legs shook and a headache made his steps even more wobbly.


    “Shit… my head hurts.”


    ***


    Suddenly emerging from an ethereal light on a stone platform, Kenny said:


    "Finally, I made it… to the 50th floor."


    Kenny dropped to his knees and finally relaxed, a smile of joy was visible on his face. In front of Kenny was a green and breathtakingly beautiful forest, the sound of water running could be heard. Kenny spotted rabbits, deers, mice and such animals inside of the thriving forest. Surrounding the forest were giant stone walls, and the ceiling was covered in crystals that seemed to replicate the day and night cycle.


    It was a spectacle in Kenny''s eyes. He didn''t know when was the last time he had seen a forest, or any greenery in general. In the corner of his eye he spotted a sparkling blue river.


    Kenny rushed to examine the water, he then hurriedly put his head inside the fresh water as he took giant gulps of the water. He felt like he had drank heavenily water straight from the heavens themselves. It was so refreshing that demon blood couldn''t even compare one tiny bit.


    For the first time since he had arrived in purgatory, he actually felt happy and relaxed. Though Kenny still stayed on guard, all those nights he had spent in Purgatory and labyrinth made him develop a habit of sleeping with one eye open. Not just when he was asleep, every day was a struggle for him, not a day passed where it was easy, each and every day was constant fighting.


    Kenny followed the river bank, eventually leading him to a clear blue lake with a giant tree in the middle of it, and what seemed like a gleaming glass bridge. Close to the lake was a manor multiple stories tall.


    "Is that… a house?"


    Kenny didn''t hurry to check it out, his time in the labyrinth had taught him not to touch anything, even if it looked safe. Although that didn''t mean he wasn''t going to get a good look at the manor, he just had to be careful.


    As Kenny carefully walked over to the manor he was already fantasizing about a comfortable bed and a roof over his head, this made him eager to go barge in, but contained himself.


    Kenny felt a sudden ache in his heart.


    "Is something wrong Aragon?"


    ''Everything is alright.''


    Kenny didn''t believe a word Aragon said, what he felt said enough for him to know that the strange building had a sort of emotional connection to Aragon. Unfortunately, like always, Aragon would just avoid the question if Kenny had asked.


    Kenny lifted his hand and summoned his regalia. [Sword Master] was already activated as he proceeded to walk towards the manor.


    The manor looked very strange to Kenny, it''s architecture was very different from anything he had seen back at earth. Not the elves, beastmen, dwarves, or even humans used such a bizarre design of a home. Although it was strange, he could tell that it was luxurious.


    "Hey Aragon, do you know what this building is?"


    Aragon stayed silent for a couple of seconds, then answered:


    ''It''s a house.''


    Kenny felt irritated by what Aragon said.


    "I know it''s a house, but what''s it doing in purgatory."


    ''I don''t know.''


    Kenny noticed that beside the building was another one with two big doors. He approached the doors with caution, and when he got close a loud and sudden sound scared Kenny, making him prepare for a battle. Inside was a strange creature with a red exterior, or at least that''s what he thought.


    He stood there for a moment, but after a while, nothing moved. Kenny looked confused as he tilted his head and raised an eyebrow. He slowly approached the mysterious creature. No matter how close he got the thing still didn''t move, the closer he got the more details he could make out.


    It had a emblem of a horse in the front of it and many windows, with two on each side and one in the front and one in the back.


    ''Don''t worry that isn''t going to harm you, it isn''t alive.''


    ''What do you mean, what is thing strange creature?''


    Aragon thought for a moment then answered:


    ''I think it''s called a supercar.''


    Kenny looked perplexed.


    ''What kind of beast is a supercar?''
