《Re:Incubus》 Perfect Life Gone? Two women were quietly whispering to each other about the stranger that walked past them. ¡°Hey do you see that guy? He''s so tall and handsome, I wonder if I could get his number.¡± ¡°Did you see yourself in the mirror? There''s no way you can get him.¡± ¡°What? Look at yourself first.¡± The girls laughed with each other. The man was neither embarrassed nor blushing, to him this was an everyday thing. ''At least they know their limits, I only deal with really beautiful women and girls, even if you women were to give me ten thousand dollars or have expensive plastic surgery, I still wouldn''t accept you!'' This man was known as Joseph Akira, the definition of a narcissistic playboy, a Half Caucasian Half Asian young man, he lived in the states his whole collage life into recently, where he moved to Japan for a job that fits his requirements. He looks at himself in the window mirror, frozen still by his dashing looks and good build, even some men might fall for him at first sight due to his soft, smooth, long blonde hair, with sky blue eyes, pale skin, wearing a brand new suit, necktie, and shoes, if he wanted to he could show off even more, but one of his rules was not to be too sexy, most girls nowadays are fine with an okay good looking man, rather than Mr. Perfect, anymore and they would follow you around, which wasn''t his style. He believes that god made all beautiful women in the world to be his toys, of course compared to those other idiotic men he was Ivy leaguer, he was not only smart, but he was also good at any sport, including combative sports, those who say that god doesn''t give two gifts is a bunch of bullshit in his book. After he was done admiring himself in the mirror he continued on his way to his new job, due to a chemistry teacher getting injured he landed a job at this high school, of course he won''t be getting paid much but, as a substitute teacher he can gain respect from others and encounter beautiful women at the same time, it''s perfect for him because he can meet more women and have more affairs than working for a company, of course he has no money trouble, the reason why was because after he slept with the women he would become their gigolo or trick them into giving him money with some, well let''s say special means (wink wink) of course after he got tired of them he would send them to some rich old man, or make them work as whores, those guys would happily pay him a lot. Most people would refer to him as evil and a monster, of course he didn''t care money is money it doesn''t matter how he earns it in his book more is better, who is to decided what''s evil and what''s good in his defense he''s only making a living the best way he knows how. ''Heh a devil eh if only they knew if you throw away your worthless conscience and morales away, you''ll be surprised at how easy it is to make money, then again I never had a conscience since I was born, my heart has always been pitch black not that I don''t have emotions I cry and laugh like everyone else I just can''t feel sorry for others, even if I did them wrong, my motto is living life according to my desires, who cares if someones life gets ruined in the process life is a game after all they lost, *sigh* I keep thinking about that accident again.'' Some girls admiringly stare at him with blushed faces, he only sends them a smile back and they start shouting for joy running away. ''Hmm those two are pretty cute, I like their uniforms the best, rather than an amateur, it was definitely put together by a real designer, the textures really bring out the girls breasts and waists, it seems they can put on either black or dark blue knee socks, stockings or regular socks with mini skirts, my favorite has to be the skirts and knee socks, but others are good as well.'' Looks like my fun was ruined, of course this school would have guys as well, to admit the truth I couldn''t care less about them, they''re less than dirt compared to me, well I better hurry along, I can''t be late on my first day after all what would my poor, poor students, principle and other teachers think of me if I was late, first impressions are important after all, heh I can''t wait I''ll pretend to be a nice guy to gain their trust, this should entertain me for a while.'' He takes a few glances at the girls nearby then head towards the school building, after exchanging his shoes at the teachers entrance, he addresses a woman in the office wearing a white shirt with a tight mini skirt,. ¡°Good morning. I''m Joseph Akira, I''ll be working here as a substitute teacher, nice to meet you I hope you''ll be able to guide me during these days I''ll be working here. "Good morning, Mr.Akira We''ve been waiting for you. Please go to the principle''s office. Do you know where it is?" ''Of course I do, I have been studying this school for a couple of weeks now, I wouldn''t sign up for a job without doing my homework.'' ¡°Yes, I do. I''ve been here before. Thank you." As he bows to her she gives him a smile. ''Oh her smile is pretty good, yet she''s way below my line, her looks are....okay.'' He silently marks her as a D in his mind then goes towards the principle''s office. ''I met the principle before at the job interview. She''s kind but because of her old age she''s a slow old hag, I''m thankful though because of her lenient supervision, I can do mostly anything I want in this school, my only reason I decided to act as a nice guy, working here as a teacher, If the principle had been a man and an old fart, I would''ve refused this job offer in a second. Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. ''I love the elderly, they''re so easy to fool she was deceived by my act and has no idea that I''ll be messing around with any women that I like in this school.'' ¡°KNOCK-KNOCK¡± He knocks on the door waiting for an answer. ¡°Please come in.¡± ¡°Yes. Thank you.¡± The principle gives him the ok to come in so he slowly turns the door handle entering inside the principle office. "Good morning, I''m delighted to be working here from today on." The principle takes a seat near the window, with a thin old guy standing next to her. ''Oh just my luck an old fart after all, hmm he has some unique features must be a foreigner. The old man had silver hair which looked like it would shine in the moonlight, with emerald green eyes and pale skin that looked like he was sick. ¡°Good morning, Mr.Akira. We''ve been looking forward to seeing you again, we''ll both be counting on you.¡± "I''ll wholeheartedly do my best, not to disappoint.¡± "How nice. We sure are lucky to find a nice teacher like him. Don''t you think so?" She smiles talking to the silver haired old man next to her. ''Oh, how could I forget this old man is the Vice Principal.'' "Yes, we are. We expect great things from you, Mr.Akira." ¡°I''ll try my best.¡± After the vice principle drops his suspensions of Akira, he agrees with her, he smiles at Akira, with Akira giving his own back showing his sincere face to them. Akira lets out a breath of relief. ''A piece of cake, they don''t even know what I want to do here, my golden school life is assured.'' 1 week later. Akira sleeping in his bed has a bad dream of the past. ¡°You should have died instead of my wife! Cries, you little demon you took my mom away! I wish you were never born you son of a rapist.¡± ¡°Class give Joesph Akira a warm welcome.¡± ¡°Hey Michael isn''t that kid your brother?¡± ¡°Brother hmph he''s nothing but a killer, none of my family considers him a relative, dad only agreed to take care of him for moms sake.¡± ¡°Huh? What do you mean tell us more¡± ¡°Well...¡± Later ¡°Haha do you see his long hair he''s so girly.¡± *Snip* The blonde haired boys hands were dripping blood from the metal scissors in his hands. Cries ¡°You freak!¡± ¡°I didn''t mean it! I didn''t mean it!¡± ¡°Go away you son of a rapist!¡± Suddenly Akira woke up from his dream. ¡°Damn it..I didn''t mean it.¡± When he turned towards his left he saw the beautiful red head sleeping next to him, he kissed her on the cheek, then quietly got up and put his clothes back on taking a night walk. ''I wonder how my family is doing back home in the states, do they miss me at all? Heh who am I kidding who would miss a ¡°little demon¡± like me in their words, still I wonder how mom was like, Argh! Why am I thinking about these things now I have put them behind me my new golden life in Tokyo begins.'' He spent about 10 minutes walking around, he finally was heading home into he saw something that disgusted him. ¡°What...the hell! Why on earth is she here?¡± The girl had ghost like skin with long beautiful black hair, her lips were pink, while her eyes were a light brown, she looked right at Akira slowly walking towards him, her eyes piercing his soul. ¡°I didn''t think I ever see you again, what did that old man get tired of you? Or did you come back to me because you were lonely? Neither matters like I told you a year ago me and you''re over never appear in front of me again.¡± The girl said nothing only increasing her speed coming closer and closer, Akira felt like he was unable to move. ¡°Lov...yo...forev...won..t...let...you...lea..m.....e!¡± (Translation Love you forever, won''t let you leave me!) The girl started to stutter saying words he could barely make out, suddenly she opened her eyes wide, with bloodlust burning from within them she ran towards him with a knife in her hands. Akira normally wouldn''t be afraid of a knife attack since he has trained in many different kinds of martial arts even if not at a master level, he should easily be able to take a knife out of a collage girls hands, yet he was caught off guard with no time to prepare himself he was stabbed in the stomach over and over. ''No..no no damn it! I won''t die I can''t die yet my golden life has only begun fuck!'' All the energy left in his body was draining he could only hear one word before he passed away. ¡°I''ll join you shortly....we''ll be together forever.¡± Akira could only curse her in his mind for trash like her to rob him of his perfect life, then to say that she''ll join him in the afterlife made his blood set on fire, he decided no matter where he lands up in hell, heaven, even neither. That he wouldn''t rest in peace into he gets back his perfect life and kills her even beyond death. A demonic force in another realm not known to man was laughing like a mad man due to an interesting being that has entered his realm. ¡°Oh what do we have here another strong soul rolling the dice of fate..hahaha this should be entertaining.¡± Redemption, Rebirth. The darkness in Akira eyes suddenly went away instead he took in a room filled with beautiful art, and statues, he found himself confused was this heaven or hell? ¡°Hello is anyone there?¡± He stood there for 5 minutes waiting into he felt like an idiot expecting anything magical to happen, if he wanted to find a way out he would have to rely on himself, once he was about to explore the castle, he heard a gentleman like voice calling to him. ¡°Hello, my name is Alan, I''ll be your guide from here on out please follow me my master wishes to speak with you.¡± Akira wasn''t just going to follow some stranger without knowing what he wanted from him, if the man in front of him was a beauty he may have given it some thought but would''ve still been cautious. ¡°Who''s your master? And why does he wish to speak with me?¡± ¡°My master is the Archangel of this realm, he wishes to speak to you about something that may spark your interest.¡± ''How did I of all people end up in heaven? Well no matter I will at least listen to what these people or should I refer to them as Angels want. ¡°And that is?¡± Alan only smiles then says. ¡°Redemption.¡± ¡°Redemption? What do you mean by that?¡± ¡°My master will explain to you shortly please follow me. Akira being a student of martial arts knew how to keep calm under a strange situation, so he only nodded with a confident look on his face, while inwardly being angry at himself for not having control over the situation, without having a deck to play you''ll always be a victim to your opponent, he had to quickly find out what''s going on in order to assure his safety, he could only quietly follow the butler. The butler opened a door leading to a throne gesturing Akira to walk inside, the white haired kid on top of the throne eyes gave a kingly feeling as though everyone was below him, with his long silver wings it only made him seem more kingly, Akira wasn''t affected at all by this, only walking forward into him and the angel were looking at each other in the eye. ¡°I''m the Archangel Leroxor and you''re Joseph I assume.¡± Before Akira even had the time to give a reply the kids face was filled with disappointment. ¡°So you''re the owner of the black heart, surely not as great as the legends told just looking at you makes me pity you.¡± Akira was starting to get annoyed, especially since this smug looking son of a bitch had the nerve to look down on him, plus use his first name like they were close, Akira wanted to use the nice guy mask at first but now that angel crossed the line, so he pushed his luck if the angel wanted to kill him he would have all ready, and even if he did what would Akira be afraid of he was all ready dead, he had no idea what a black heart was or any of this other crap. ¡°Stop rambling and get to the point, you presumptuous little shit.¡± The White haired Archangel was somewhat shocked that the young man would dare speak to him the mighty Leroxor in such a way even in his childlike human form he should be giving off an aura which would make Duke level Demons be afraid, yet this mortal could speak without even showing an expression of fright, this only made him even more interested in the young man, that had the black heart within him. ¡°Right to the point I see, fine I''ll tell you why you''re here and not being sent to be tortured in the pits of hell right now by Alan for your disrespect to me, you possess the Black Heart an ancient Demon realm item forged by one of the great Satans Beelzebub during the great war, those with the Black Heart were said to be gods among men, demons, and angels alike, they were said to be able to slay Dragons, Archangels, and Archfiends, all at once, of course compared to God himself they were nothing but bugs, those with the black heart were elite warriors of the demon realm their main defense but, all the black heart users that lived long ago have passed away, the demon realm has become a shell of it''s former self, that is why I must find a way to rid you of it, if it''s left in your care I''m sure some powerful demon or dragon power hungry enough may seek it out, god knows what some evil being may do with it.¡± Akira could only laugh and say. ¡°Ha! This is rich, I only want my perfect life back and payback against that bitch, with this so called ¡°black heart¡± it should be able to benefit me in my quest for revenge, why should I care at all about what happens to you people, I won''t gain anything from giving up my heart.¡± The white haired man has an indifferent look in his eyes and says. ¡°You must be mistaken Human, this isn''t a request, didn''t Alan inform you of what I would do, you''ll earn your redemption by getting your soul erased for the greater good, that is the only way to destroy the black heart, you should be thankful god will forgive you for your sins, I''ll remove the black heart from you even by force.¡± Akira suddenly felt cold energy coming from the angel. ¡°Oi! Oi! You shouldn''t lie to the kid, God has been dead since The Great War, I should know I chopped his head off myself, I can''t have this kid dying yet he''s much too interesting.¡± The white haired angel had a look of anger on his face. ¡°So it''s you Niracan, fool God never dies, he''s been reborn once and it''ll happen again, us his loyal children will wait for him as long as it takes, all the other angels may be afraid of you, but I shall stay true to my father and slay his killer.¡± The blue haired demon only whistled not even giving the angel a second glance, instead she looked at Akira like waiting to devour her prey, when he looked into her big pink cat like eyes, and long eyelashes, it seduced him without her even talking, Akira suddenly felt a feeling within him that he hasn''t felt before in his whole life, his stomach was burning up with butterfly¡¯s, of course he just dismissed it as fear, he would never have the thought of attraction since her body wasn''t as developed compared to other girls that he usually would date in his old life, if he had to label her she would be a loli type of character in some anime. ¡°*yawn* Like I haven''t heard that thousand of times before, all you angels do is talk big shouting about how holy and righteous you''re, yet here you are trying to kill this kid with the excuse it''s for the greater good, bunch of hypocrites we demons may not be all great ourselves but at least we don''t lie about what we are.¡± ¡°Silence Demon!¡± The angel wings covered his whole body, making him shine like the sun he was covered in silver bright armor, with five wings on his back he was slightly taller than before with a silver mask on his face, that had a blue gem near the middle of his forehead. This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. After the transformation was done, the angel attacked the blue haired girl only to hit air, the blue haired demon who had a bored expression on her face only dodged him into he eventually got tired, seeing him vulnerable and defenseless, falling into despair she started smiling like a devil, when she saw a drop of his blood fall, immediately she parried the angels spear with her sword, then licked her lips slashing down onto the angels wings one by one, flesh, bones, and blood was all over the place, the silver walls covered in red, the angel had a look of terror on his face then quickly backed away, of course the blue haired demon wasn''t going to let him off the hook that easily. The girl closed in on him with her aqua colored blade preparing to deal the final blow, before it hit the butler named Alan tried to block her with his dagger, this was a foolish mistake indeed prolonging his masters life, while sacrificing himself in the process truly a loyal comrade, ¡°Alan!¡± Ignoring the screams of the angel she whispered a chant to herself silently. ¡°Nine Circling Blades.¡± Nine blades that had a blue aura surrounded the angel trapping him without any escape, she slowly closed her fist resulting with the blades coming closer and closer to him slowly, when they were 1 inch away he closed his eyes accepting his fate, to his surprise they weren''t coming any closer, when he finally regained his hope, she closed her fist ending his life with a wicked grin on her face. ¡°Archangels these days complete weaklings, how I missed the old days of fighting Gabriel and Michael, ohhh well at least I found another way to relive my boredom.¡± The blue haired girl turned towards Akira coming closer and closer to him, after inspecting him with her eyes she said. ¡°Aww so adorable, the way you back away like a scared pup just makes me want to lock you up in my torture chamber back home, ah but I got off topic, I should introduce myself first, I''m Niracan Kamiati God of The Demon Realm nice to meet you. after regaining his sanity, he calmed himself down then replied to her. ¡°....I''m Joseph Akira, wait did you just say god?¡± ¡°Did I say It wrong?, oh no matter I''ll say it again I''m Niracan Kamiati God of The Demon Realm nice to meet you Akira.¡± Akira was shocked, a little girl like her God of Demons, he''s saw her power first hand, yet it''s still hard to believe, eventually after receiving weird stares from her, he accepted it, usually he would rush her to get to the point, but he didn''t want to end up as chopped meat like a certain angel over there, so he decided on using the nice guy act. ¡°I heard both of you mention realms, yet I have no idea what that means could you please explain this for me?.¡± ¡°Kay, during The Great Wars me and the three other gods with our followers fought against each other for control of the universe, of course the war only resulted in all of our races being weakened therefore we agreed to spitting the universe in half, ending up with the three factions today named The Dragon Realm, The Demon Realm, The Human and Angel Realms which are very close to each other, that''s why most of us refer to them as the same realm, The Human realm is very weak with no god of it''s own, resulting with it having to rely on the Angel realms protection, of course there are humans in the other realms but most have no idea of the existence of their homeland the same can be said for the other races, if there are any other realms out there then we would have no idea of knowing as of now.¡± After Akira processed all this information in his head he felt very satisfied in gaining new knowledge that would be useful later down the road, it was time for him to ask a question that was on his mind for a while now. ¡°Why did you save me from that angel? The girl only had a devious smile on her face and whispered in his ear. ¡°Mostly Out of Boredom, but...I really really want to devour the welder of the black heart, unfortunately I wasn''t able to find you when you were alive, therefore there is most likely zero chance of a spirit mastering the black heart, that''s why I came up with a solution. ¡°What do you mean solution? Don''t I have a body right now? I can walk and move my hands around perfectly, I look the same as when I was in my old world¡± The girl''s face was full of pity then said. ¡°That''s..wrong you''re actually dead right now, you aren''t revived or alive at all, the only thing that''s here is your spirit, your physical body is gone, the only reason that you look exactly the same as when you were alive Is due to your spirit remembering that form the most.¡± The idea that he was dead finally went through his head, Akira thought about his family, friends, and even that girl who killed him, he knew that if he refused to move on from his lost and start anew then he wouldn''t be able to reclaim his perfect life, not even being able to get his revenge either therefore.... ¡°I understand, how would I be able to come back to life then? What''s the solution?¡± ¡°I owe this all to chopped up angel over there, when he mentioned the idea of reincarnation, It solved all my problems, It''ll get rid of that weak human body and give you the ability to master the black heart, I may have to wait 30 years or so for you to be at your best, but the wait is nothing compared to the boredom I have endured during my life time, I want to fight an equal opponent in a life and death situation. Akira thought this little girl was a weirdo she risked her life to save him just so she could fight him, but he sure wasn''t going to turn down a chance to be reborn, there''s a chance that he might even be able to avoid her finding him in his next life. ¡°How will you go about this exactly?¡± The girl had an evil smile on her face and said. ¡°We gods have our secrets, all you need to do is close your eyes and pass me your head it''ll be over in an instant for you.¡± Akira was hesitating but he knew that he wouldn''t get a chance like this ever again so he went towards the girl bowing his head so she could reach it, when her small hands touched his head he felt a shock then instantly everything went dark. END That''s all for now guys I''m way too tired to release anymore, so I apologize for any mistakes or if Akira seems out of character wasn''t really paying attention, next chapter will be more focused on the new world he is in and his new body etc. Civilization at last! New Mother? Countdown: 10957 days left to..... Akira felt that he was wrapped tight in warm energy, although Akira was unable to tell the time during the period he was in this mysterious place one very weird thing was even though he couldn''t open his eyes, he could sense little balls of energy floating all around him, he tried absorbing the balls of energy, after 5 tries he was successful, Akira felt himself becoming stronger and stronger, he started to feel a bit more confident returning back to his usual self, after a while he had the idea to try and move the balls, unlike absorbing the energy this was a lot harder, he was becoming more and more tired trying to move the balls of energy even a bit. After not being able to hold on anymore he started to fall unconscious, he was out for who knows how many days, this went on for a long time into he was able to control the energy without falling to sleep, so far he was able to absorb the energy and release it, he could even move the energy all around his surroundings, one of his major problems was moving the energy within his body after he absorbed it. This lasted for what felt to him like months, into he had a breakthrough, he was able to move the energy in what he assumed were his arms and legs, somewhere else and it would cause pain, therefore he stopped pushing his limits for now and only improved his current ability. During his usual practice suddenly he felt himself being grabbed from within the warm place he usual lived in, when the soft hand took him out of his home, his eyes were filled with a bright light, he looked up and he could see a beautiful woman with long purple hair, and warm green eyes looking right at him, she had a smile on her face into she looked down and saw something that bought out her hatred, suddenly her eyes changed from a friendly and warm feeling to pure hatred and coldness. I?''? ? po?! q?ob ¦Ì!w ?ow??¦Ì??? !u ?¦Ì? ?o???? ?¦Ì? p???? ?¦Ìo¡É?q ??? ¦Ì!w ?!?¦Ì!u ?¦Ì? u!?¦Ì?. (English characters invert, if you can figure out what this text means then you''ll see some spoilers.) She passed him to a woman with short brown hair next to her speaking in a language Akira couldn''t understand, Akira had the feeling that this woman was cursing him due to the body language she was using, the brown haired girl followed her commands without question, while who he assumed was his mother with long blood red hair cried with a lot of tears falling down her eyes, the purple haired woman only shouted something and his mother stopped crying, instead it was replaced with fear. The brown haired woman took him out of the room, but before she did he could see another baby with black hair and pale skin that also came out of his mom, unlike him the woman with purple hair kept her warm and friendly eyes, he kept wondering why she decided to only get rid of him, to his surprise the brown haired woman wasn''t going to put him in another room, instead she left the house completely bringing with her female guards in silver armor. ''What''s going on? Why are we heading into a forest this late?'' Akira was confused the sun was going down as it started to turn dark, his only option left was to wait and see what happens, when they started taking him deep into the forest they encountered some rabbits with horns on their head but nothing too dangerous, suddenly they stopped the brown haired girl spoke some words to him with a sad expression on her face then.... I''w ?o??? ?o¡Éu? ou?, ?¦Ì?? ?o¡É? ?!?? ¦Ì?? ?o ?uq ?o ?????, p??w? ?¦Ì!? ??? ou p?!u? ? w??? !? ?o¡É ???? po?u ? ??w???, ?o¡É ?o¡É?q ¦Ì??? ?!??q, p¡É?

The brown haired woman took out a dagger stabbing a hole right through Akira chest, blood flowing all over the place you could hear cries of a baby, Akira felt like he was going to die again, when the brown haired woman withdrew the blade she tried hard to hold in tears then simply left him on the ground to meet his fate, taking with her the other female guards. Akira was flowing with rage he wasn''t going to die again no matter what, even if he was a baby he had to find a way, he tried controlling the balls of energy that he still held within him to stop the bleeding even if they only tickled him they were better than nothing, yet it had no effect he was slowly dying on the verge of tears to die again without even turning one years old. With blood coming out of him faster and faster he thinks about that girl, also the brown haired woman who both stabbed him, he was overcome with anger as he was about to be forced to give into the darkness, something unexpected happened the bleeding stopped not just that even his skin was healing slowly, but healing it was, suddenly a window popped up in his face.
Innate Ability Forced Activation: Black Heart Healing
Akira was cheering joys of happiness, but the sound of wild animals coming near him snapped him out of his moment, a large pack of wolves were surrounding him, watching each other making sure the other doesn''t eat it''s prey, instantly a lone wolf came out of the crowd the beast before him was a majestic wolf with black hair like fur coming down it''s head, red eyes that glowed in the darkness, the wolf watched Akira with curiosity, Akira could tell that this wolf had intelligence that might be able to rival a human or surpass it, the wolf only let out a howl to the other approaching wolves, making them bow to his might backing away from Akira. Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. The wolf went towards Akira picking him up by putting his fangs in the blanket, immediately afterward the wall growled with all the other wolves bowing to him only lifting their faces when the black wolf left, Akira found himself hanging from the mouth of a giant wolf heading to a place unknown to him. They traveled for what seemed like 3 days stopping for the wolf to hunt every once in a while, surprising enough the king wolf tried feeding Akira by chewing his food for him, it was almost like the wolf was used to taking care of children, at first Akira didn''t want to take food from the mouth of a disgusting wolf but he threw away his pride due to being so hungry, when the wolf stopped running at it''s highest speed, Akira saw a village in the distance, the sun was starting to come up and you could hear the sound of children laughing, playing, while adults were farming, selling goods, and training with swords. ''Civilization, my luck has gone up, after days of being with angels, demons, wolves, and baby killing amazons (for those of you wondering no they aren''t amazons.) I have seen some normal people, even if there are only hairy men in this village, of course I would rather be in the hands of a beautiful woman, but I can''t be too greedy. When the wolf entered the town the villagers and even the children held it in great respect, the reason why Akira could understand this, was due to all the villagers bowing to the wolf with respect in their eyes, like they were seeing their hero in front of them, some of the villagers even noticed the little baby with pitch black hair, and taints of blood red hair at the bottom of his hair, hanging from the wolves mouth. The wolf went towards the biggest house in the middle of the village, the wolf used it''s paws to push the door open, inside was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early twenties, she had shoulder length blonde hair, with hazel eyes, and white glasses on her face, when she noticed the wolf entered the house she had a happy smile on her face ready to welcome him back into she saw the baby hanging from his mouth. ''Oh, she''s quite a beauty, I have to admit she outclasses mostly all the women I have been with in my past life.'' Akira inwardly marks her an S, while smirking inside thinking of dirty things, of course he can''t win her heart while he''s still a child, but he imagines in 16-17 years or so it should be no problem for him. The woman had a confused expression on her face, as to why the wolf would have a baby hanging from his mouth, the wolf and woman did not talk at all as thought she could tell from just looking into his eyes, after 5 or so minutes she figured out the situation, the woman gestured for the wolf to give Akira over to her, the wolf only let out a bark then dropped Akira in her hands. Her expression was one filled with motherly love and affection, something he didn''t receive back when he was a child since his mother died when he was born, and his dad would only beat or yell at him for taking her away, of course into he turned 16 when Akira started to practice Martial arts to the point where he could easily beat his old man up, Akira was never one for violence most of the time...he only threatened his dad not to beat him anymore or else he wouldn''t be responsible for what happens to him, though that was nothing compared to the envy and jealousy he received from other men who tried to bully or fight him in his past life due to his luck with women, this only added to his disgust of other men in generally, finding women a lot better. She stood like that occasionally making baby sounds to him or playing with his cheeks, into she saw the scar left on his chest, he didn''t know how hideous it looked but it caused her to scream really loudly, the woman had a look of sadness in her eyes, and determination, she hugged him tight, then moved Akira to a room that was what he assumes a bedroom, within minutes she chanted a few words, using magic to create something that resembled a crib back in his old world, it was light blue, with traces of orange on it. After putting him in the crib she left the room, eventually he started to feel tired, no longer able to fight the darkness he went to sleep, Author note: Well that wraps up the baby stage we should actually start moving onto some interesting content now, with new characters and people, cannot wait to start up the plot. For those of you wonder his race is an Incubus, but I''ll be explaining more later so look forward to that. Chapter Delay. Sorry guys was planning on making this daily, but I won''t have time to release chapters again into next Tuesday, while you guys wait check out one of my other ffs named Re:Hero King. Three Little Monsters. Countdown: 6209 days left to..... A young boy with black hair and a pony tail with taints of red hanging down from his shoulder was currently sitting crossed legs, sweat coming down his face releasing energy all around him looking inside his body absorbing that pitch black source of energy, this boys name was Aku Moriarty known in his old world as Akira Josepth, he was training in a location not far from his village right now, the purpose of this training was to be able to control the black heart at will, the tool used by the ones who were the closest existence to gods, he was having trouble advancing in his training stuck without any idea of how to proceed. ''The Black Heart still confuses me, it''s a lot harder to control than my blue orbs for some reason I can''t mix the energy from the black heart itself with my orbs without losing all the strength in my body, if there was someone who used it before that I could ask for tips from this would be a lot easier, with magic I would only need to ask Mother, yet all the known users of The Black Heart have died, therefore I have little choice now I''ll just go one step at a time there''s no need to rush, it''s me that I''m talking about here nothing is impossible for me I''ll master it.'' After his daily workout he heads back home seeing the sun going down, as he enters the village he starts to think about what he has done these last 13 years. ''I have improved quite a bit since I came to this world, compared to when I was born my physical and mental condition is a lot better, I also learned what those blue orbs of mine are through a book that I found when I was searching around my training ground, it was nine inches long, ten and a half inches wide, and two inches thick. It was bound in a black cover and was in fair shape, The cover also had weird markings around it resembling a monster of some sort with long horns wings coming from it''s back and crimson eyes with a devilish smile. ''It contained some text that wasn''t the native language in this world, I don''t know if I was just lucky or if someone put the book there on purpose, but the language it was written in was Japanese through that book I learned that people call the blue orbs spiritual essence the book says it''s unique to only the demon races since demons are born with a set amount of spiritual essence and there is mostly no way to increase it but the reason users of the black heart were so feared is that they were able to increase their spiritual essence just by absorbing souls into the black heart resulting with them becoming more and more powerful adding the other powers of the black heart on top of that ability they were mostly unfathomable to other demons on the same power scale as them, as to why spiritual essence was so important is because with spiritual essence demons can gain different abilities such as teleportation, mind control, fire manipulation, etc. ''Because of this I learned that I''m truly not human anymore I resemble one yet the fact that I can absorb these souls prove me otherwise, my only chances of finding out what I am is searching for those amazons if I was able to speak to one of them directly I''m sure that I could find out what I''m, of course if I were to go searching for them now I''m sure that I would die I''m not nearly strong enough to take on the powerful people in this world I may be a bit talented in magic but if I fought an expert swordsman or Mage I would be trashed in a matter of seconds, let alone among fellow demons so my only option is to push my limits into I become strong enough to crush anyone in my way of revenge.'' ''I also learned how to hunt from my mother Katherine she''s a former half elf adventurer who used to be part of the king''s royal guard usually races other than Demons weren''t accepted but they made an expectation due to one of her magical talents when I asked her what it was exactly she said she would tell me when I was older still...to elves I wonder what older means.'' ''But putting that aside mother told me that she met her pet..I mean Filtiarn during one of her adventures when she was attacked by a group of Orges ending up with her entire party wiped out after that Filtiarn from within the forest with the rest of his pack from what she told me encountered her and the orge during one of their hunts for food, originally Filtiarn to her seemed like he wasn''t going to get involved but that stupid orge tried crushing him with his club resulting with him losing a hand, after that Mother lived with Filtiarn and his pack for a couple of months into Filtiarn was hunted down by human hunters he was able to escape but was wounded during the battle losing all of his pack and receiving a blow to his pride from there after mother healed his woynd and they became comrades in this village protecting it.'' ''I almost forgot to mention the Continent I''m as of now residing in is called Zogrush the rule is divided between The Three Eyed Kings, The All Knowing Emperor, and The Conqueror Of Chaos from going off my memory I should be living in a village between the borders of the Three Eyed Kings and The Conqueror of Chaos, the two are engaged in war but I doubt they should spread out to this part of the kingdom.'' ¡°Aku!¡± As Aku was lost in thought he could hear someone shouting his name 10 inches away from him when he looked up it was two platinum blonde youths one was a boy who could be considered fairy handsome for his age resembling a prince slightly taller than the girl, he had loose hair that reached his back with cold steel grey eyes giving off a distant detached aura, next to him was a smiling beautiful girl with bright blue eyes and long straight hair unlike her brother she had a warm, pure, and childlike aura around her even so both shared a common trait and that was their pointy ears they were young Elves. The boy was a 13 year old named Jasper while the girl just recently turned the same age as Aku named Enyo the three could be labeled close friends. ¡°No need to yell I can hear you fine, I''m not deaf.¡± ¡°Hmph, she wouldn''t need to if you weren''t so caught up in your day dreams that you couldn''t noticed someone speaking to you.¡± ¡°I wasn''t day dreaming I let you know that I had some important things to think about.¡± ¡°What important things other than creating crazy plans to get a kiss from one of the towns girls in the village.¡± The two were going back and fourth into Enyo decided to stop the two. ¡°Calm down you two you''ll disturb the other villagers work at this rate.¡± ¡°Haha, since a beauty such as yourself asked I have no choice other than to agree.¡± Almost instantly Aku was back to laughs and a smiling face putting his arm on the back of Jasper when two minutes ago he was ready to tear his head off, resulting with Jasper having an expression of disbelief. ¡°I still can''t get over how quickly you regain your calm over girls.¡± ¡°Oh my friend you have much to learn, not just any girls only true Beauties.¡± ¡°Whatever, shouldn''t we head to the coming of age cemorny?¡± ''The age cemorny? Oh yeah it''s the cemorny kids go through when they offically are considred adults most information about the cemorny is kept secret so no one knows what will happen when they go into it and when they come out they aren''t allowed to tell what happened there, still I forgot completely that it was almost time.'' ¡°Crap, why didn''t you guys tell me eariler we''re almost late.¡± Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. ¡°We would have if you didn''t rant about Beauties for almost an hour.¡± ¡°Don''t fight again you two let''s hurry up there while we still have time.¡± The three nodded to each other then rushed to the temple. After half an hour or so they made it at the last minute, they saw 17 other kids and a few adults the most noticeable was the mysterious woman and green robed priest, the woman was wearing a fox mask on her face, her eyes were a mixed matched pair of black and green, she also had shoulder length black hair and custom designed light green armor that looked too expensive for folks that live around here, since Aku couldn''t see much of her face he gave up on figuring out who she is. After 5 minutes or so an old man came out of the temple he looked at each and everyone of the children infront of him then went to each one of them and had them prey to the shrine, asking them a question. ¡°What do you desire?¡± He asked Enyo first, after giving it a bit of thought she answered him honestly. ¡°I desire peace.¡± After hearing her answer he made a motion with his hands and a blue staff appeared out of thin air, it landed into her hands and shined with a bright beautiful aqua color, everyone who witnessed this event other than Aku were slient, but in an instant everyone started to whipser. ¡°It can''t be....¡± ¡°How could that little girl summon the staff of the war goddess?¡± ¡°Silence!¡± The bald priest eyes started to glow bright green causing the rest of the people near them to stop talking it was as though the aura he gave off would kill them if they let out a word. ¡°You were chosen by The Goddess Of War to receive her Staff because of your strong desire for the world to have peace and to protect your friends, I''m sure that if you train hard enough you might one day master this tool of peace to suceed, you''ll face hardships but never give up on peace.'' She let out a tear to his words and bowed, after that the priest went on to ask the question to the other kids most received nothing while 5 others suceeded the items were nothing compared to what they witnessed a few minutes ago now it was the turn of Aku and Jasper to answer the Priest question, he decided to ask Jasper first. ¡°What do you truly desire exiled Prince?¡± He thought about it for a long time what did he truly desire, being banished from the Palace by The Three Eyed Kings with his sister at such a young age losing everything and barely being able to eat having to beg on the ground for coin watching their family be massacred in front of them only being spared since they were children, the hatred that went through his veins the bitterness he still had in his mouth these past years for being too powerless to do a thing, after 5 minutes or so he had his resolve and answered truthfully. ¡°I...I desire power, power to protect everything important to me power to never lose what''s mine again.¡± After the priest heard his answer a white sword that resembled a dragon with golden markings on the blade itself appeared it gave off an aura fit for only a king making all those near it bow down, the priest almost did so himself. ¡°It''s...just like the history books described it, to think I lived to witness this day it''s..it''s Excalibur!¡± ¡°My new owner what is your name?¡± Jasper stood their shocked for a minute or 2 then was able to barley answer. ¡°My name is Jasper Lockwood.¡± Excalibur came closer to him and spoke. ¡°Rise milord The True King Of The Realms of this age and even the next!¡± Jasper without hesitation stood up taking the sword in his hands and unsheathed it showing the golden radiance of the sword shining so brightly you had to cover your eyes in order not to go blind. After 2 minutes or so he put the sword back in the sheath, now it was finally Aku turn no one expected the local playboy who tried to get a kiss out of all the girls in the village to amount to anything next to the other two who were royalty how could this boy dare to compare. The priest went towards Aku looking at this no manners carefree boy who looked like this didn''t matter at all to him, he held the boy in disgust yet he had to still do his job even if he found the boy unworthy of the honor. ¡°What do you desire?¡± ''Hmm what do I desire riches, money, power, land, women? No those are second to what I truly desire....what I truly desire is...'' ¡°Revenge!¡± The boy gave off an expression filled with hatred for the world and a gaze filled with coldness and bloodlust different from the carefree boy he met a couple of minutes ago, unlike before instead of a bright light flashing in their eyes everything only turned pitch black. Instantly black tattos started to cover his back going near his heart surrounding it completely going up his arms stopping before it touched his hand, he felt a bit of pain but it quickly went away within an instant thanks to the black heart, suddenly a mix of a scythe and sword entered his hands, it gave off a bloodthirsty, murderous, evil, corrupt aura ready to punish anyone in it''s away. Yet this wasn''t over yet, suddenly he felt red energy spreading throughout his whole body burning him from the inside making him feel like he was dying, Aku wanted to scream in pain yet he couldn''t let out a word, inside his body he felt the blue, red, and black aura fusing together he knew it finally happened he succeeded in fusing the dark chaotic energy with his bright blue energy orbs spreading it throughout his body, an aura covered him making the sclera in his eyes change to a pitch black color while one of his iris became a glowing crystal blue color, the other was a Blood Red color, his hair was still black yet, the taints below his hair rather than being a dark red was a bright bloody color that resembled fresh blood, he grew large black and red horns coming from inside his skull quickly, at the same time blue and red/black energy was shooting out of his scar like a volcano, it kept pouring into eventually he lost consciousness, when he awoke his body was back to normal and his scar was fully replaced with the pure black tattoo, a blue window popped up in his face as he was in the middle of thinking about what just happened to him.
Black Heart Ability Gained:Caladbolg
''Caladbolg Huh? Inspect.''
Black Heart Users gained this deadly weapon through countless sacrifices, and experimenting with blood magic, those who stand in the way of this weapon will be drained of every little drop of blood in their bodies.
The other people near him almost fainted due to all the madness that they witnessed today to think not once not twice but three times that a couple of little monsters appeared adding to that the last grew horns he resembled a demon yet here he was back to normal. The priest never heard of something such as this happening suddenly he felt a strong demonic presence. ¡°AHAHAHAHA!

Everyone near Aku looked at the monster in the air with a shocked expression, it was a creature out of nightmares it''s face resembled a snake while it''s fangs were dripping acid it was giant almost as big as a house, it''s hazel eyes pierced the soul of anyone who looked at it killing them instantly without even moving, some of the other priests tried attacking the beast only to be eaten, slowly it turned towards Aku. ¡°Now that I''m free it''s time to reclaim what''s rightfully mine the black heart!¡± The Serpent sent it''s large grey tail down towards Aku, Aku could tell that if it hit him he would be instantly killed yet his body was frozen stiff under that Serpents gaze he would be killed without even being able to put up a fight just as It was about to hit him it stopped the reason why was Jasper he sliced at the tail with Excalibur causing no blood to flow of course but still he was able to cause the serpent a tiny bit of pain, the Serpent became enraged that a child would strike him. ¡°Boy you sealed your own fate! I was going to spare you but now I''m angry you shall all die!¡± ¡°I don''t plan on dying today.¡± The serpent slashed with it''s giant claw onto Jasper barley able to guard it he felt his whole body become bloody and sore, losing the strength in his arms and legs within seconds he was sent flying into glass knocked outcold, Aku was filled with rage if he didn''t stand there like an idiot Jasper wouldn''t have gotten hurt this badly silently Aku ran to the monster slashing the creature tail with all his might hitting it like a mindless beast only seeking to kill his target, the scythe like sword drained blood from the serpent unfortunately he was much too weak only making the Serpent more angry that mere food would cause him minor wounds, during this time Enyo was trying to stop the bleeding of Jasper she was mostly unsuccessful due to all the wounds he had gotten. ¡°Die!¡± The serpent moved forward with it''s entire body if this hit it would crush the entire shrine killing Aku, Jasper, Enyo and all the other townsfolk, right when they were about to give up hope a green shadow moved at a fast speed stopping the Serpent with a magic barrier this shadow was the masked lady, her eyes gave off the feeling that it was hard holding back this creature she was getting pushed back the longer she had to block it, it kept getting more and more angry resulting with the creature becoming even more powerful. ¡°Rees hurry up with the spell I can''t hold him much longer!¡± The woman shouted to the green robed priest in agony the old priest was moving his hands in fast motions up, down, left, right, energy was gathering around his whole body only at the last minute when the serpent broke free of her ready to crush the entire shrine did the old priest finish his chant he quietly opened his shining green eyes flying towards the serpent at a fast speed with him 4 other priests in black, red, blue, and white robes they circled the beast trying to trap him in a square area the beast fought back pushing the monks to the very limit, if this formation failed then they had no hope of stopping this beast that was hundreds of times stronger than them. After a 20 minute long battle of minds the formation broke but the serpent did not come out unharmed he was smaller than previously and had a lot less energy the formation didn''t succeed but it did drain him of some of his power, the serpent was enraged but he wasn''t stupid how else would he have kept the position of Overlord if he didn''t know when to back down from a battle, for now he had to leave and treat his wounds slowly regaining his power. ¡°Trash I''ll be back you only prolonged your deaths!¡± When Aku heard those words he was filled with rage that this demon would dare try to get away after what he did to Jasper one of his own friends, he wouldn''t let this beast get off free receiving no punishment for this attack slowly the evil energy that surrounded his body before he passed out came back, long horns grew on his head while this time instead of being red and blue his eyes were a bright golden, Caladbolg appeared in his hands waiting anytime to deliver punishment to this creature in front of it, silently Aku said a few words with a cold expression on his face. ¡°You aren''t getting away.¡± *slash* With a giant leap Aku slashed deep into the monsters back tearing off a giant chunk of skin with that Red orbs of energy filled with spiritual essence was sucked into Caladbolg filling him with power, due to this the beast tripped off the mountain falling into the water, everyone had their eyes on the surface of the water that he had fallen into was he dead or simply playing a trick? The few survivors of this battle were thankful for still being alive yet sad since they lost so many of their own having to tell the ones who passed away families that they died to some monster would be hard for anyone to do, yet if they didn''t do so then they would be nothing but a bunch of cowards so they decided to suck it up and get it over with after everything calms down. Aku quickly went towards Enyo and Jasper wondering if Jasper was dead or alive, when he saw Enyo expression it was filled with fear of her brother passing away like the others, Aku tried to comfort her yet she only turned him away within 4 minutes the priests took Jasper inside the shrine, Enyo and Aku decided to wait outside after an hour or so the priest came back out with good and bad news. ¡°Your brother should be fine with 5 days worth of rest If not for Excalibur blocking your brother''s vital spots from that harmful poison infused attack he most likely would have died, but....¡± Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. The Priests had sad expressions on their faces, seeing this Aku knew the words to come out of their mouths was going to be a handful. ¡°Your brother''s life as a swordsman is finished, we don''t know the cause but he is unable to see for now you should do your best to take care of him.¡± When Enyo heard this news she broke into tears, while Aku was filled with a new feeling he never felt before and that was guilt due to being the reason that his own friend from age 5 lost one of the most important things in his life and that was swordsmanship, Jasper trained as hard as he did if not even harder to gain back his kingdom from The Three Eyed Kings and now all that effort he spent is going to waste. The priests all preyed for the former swordsman Jasper, immediately they all looked at Aku with a confused expression why did that monster target him? What did it mean by reclaiming the black heart and why did this boy grow those horns out of his skull all these questions were hitting them one after another this one boy is the cause of all this despair therefore they only had one choice left, a young priest wearing a sky blue robe called out to Aku telling him to meet with the rest of the priests by himself in the shrine, hesitant at first he eventually agreed. There was 12 men sitting on golden chairs all looking at Aku, the one to open his mouth first was the Green Eyed Priest. ¡°Do you have any idea why that monster attacked you?¡± Aku could guest why from that warning he received from the Goddess about The Black Heart it would attract all power hungry beings across the realm they would seek him out in order to steal what''s his harming those in the crossfire, still Aku couldn''t exactly state that he came from another world so his only option was to lie and deny everything. ¡°No.¡± The priest had an expression that showed he didn''t believe what Aku was saying. ¡°Why did you grow horns out of your head? Also why did that powerful beast come from within that tattoo of yours?¡± Those questions Aku truly had no answer to so he decided to deny it. ¡°I have no idea.¡± The priests went onto questioning him over the black heart and the other events that happened today, the only answer he had gotten out of Aku was no, that left the priests with two options leave the boy in the village to potentially bring them even more harm or abandon him weighting these two choices in their mind it was an easy option and that was to allow him to stay for now they shouldn''t do anything rash into they collect more information about the boy. ¡°That''s all you may take your leave.¡± He left back out of the shrine and left Enyo to attend to Jasper. Many things were going through his head, the most important one was that he wasn''t going to stay in this village any longer he would leave at midnight when no one could stop him, he would rather travel on his own then risk the only few people he came to care about in both this life and the last, therefore the black haired boy with taints of red had gotten his resolve. 10 hours later Elsewhere A girl was fast asleep next to a boy who resembled her he had platinum blonde hair, and pale skin sleeping in a robe his eyes were completely closed almost like a dead corpse the only thing that told you he was alive was his heartbeats, he just slayed there like a statue but that quickly changed after a minute or two he stood up with a face full of resolve even without his eyesight he believed that he could still reclaim his kingdom and also become a master swordsman those were his goals and he wouldn''t back down, receiving the news of Aku leaving the village they grew up in only made him even more stubborn on attending those goals. ''Aku me you and Enyo promised to leave this village together and become famous figures marked in history, unfortunately you''ll have to go on ahead without me but just wait me I''ll catch up with you soon.'' The Exalted Prince may have lost his sight but thanks to this his path became even brighter to him. 4 Hours later. A blonde haired girl with bright, warm, blue eyes had also strengthened her resolve, moments ago she may have been ready to cry and run from all the bad things happening in her life, but now thanks to the strength she saw her brother show even when he lost his eyesight she was able to carry on with a new tank filled with bravery, she decided that she would help those two in the best way she could, she may not be the smartest or strongest one between the three but what she could do was pick them back up whenever they would fall to despair healing all those who are injured with her light that is her path, therefore she would learn as much as possible from the priests in the shrine about defensive and healing magic. When she is confident in her abilities as a priestess, she would join the side of and apologize to the boy who was only trying to help her when she pushed him away that boys name was Aku Moriarty. The War Priestess also found her resolve she would rid the world of it''s hatred, despair, and darkness with her light. (Enjoy the double release also there won''t be a chapter tomorrow since I plan on taking a break. Side note for those of you wondering my plans with Jasper aren''t done yet he has major importance to the story alongside Enyo.) Impossible! The Cult of Rotrazen. Countdown: 6208 days left to..... Ever since he left his village Aku has been on the road traveling with only his most important items on him for a day now with no villages in sight the cause Is unknown last he heard there were plenty of other villages near his every day when he came to his training grounds he could see villages in the distance, now it was as though they just went up and disappeared adding onto that the burning hot sun hanging over him he''s been tempted to head back home but has resisted due to not wanting to be responsible for any of those he lived with these couple of years to die, of course if it came down to his life or theirs he would sacrifice them in a heartbeat in his eyes it was like comparing an animal to a humans life his was worth much more, still he would rather not have that karma to bite him in the ass later, he learned that from his old life when that woman killed him. ''*sigh* This journey is such a bore unlike what those disgusting Otakus in my old world lead you to believe a world filled with magic isn''t as wonderful and special as they make it out to be, it smells like shit and there are man eating beasts all over the place, I was hoping to enjoy the comfort of my village for a couple more years into I slept with every beautiful woman in the village unfortunately that demon attacked good fortune just refuses to last, well no point in crying over it I might as try to enjoy the warm air a bit.'' With that Aku rested near a tree opening the book filled with secrets about the demons race, as he was reading he saw some words that surprised him. ''It can''t be....to think that such an easy way to increase the limit of spiritual essence exists, it seems that demons are given a way to increase their limit of spiritual essence given to them by birth through a contract, it works like this the more limitations placed upon oneself is the more spiritual essence one can gain still there are penalties to using such a method as this, I''ll give one example let''s say a demon puts a limitation upon themselves if someone were to learn their true name then they would have to obey any orders given to them it may offer a good reward but the risks are too great if such a thing happened you would be unable to gain your freedom forced to live the rest of your life as a slave.'' ''It seems tempting but I would rather not have such a weakness to worry about, it may take more time but with the black heart I should be able to absorb more than enough souls that this method could offer me.'' After scanning through the book a bit more seeing nothing noteworthy expect useless information about some demon named The World Eater he decided to take a nap. While he was starting to drift to the world of darkness he could feel that Red Energy from Caladbolg invading his body it was closing in on his heart burning his insides more and more, in response he sent his blue orbs directly towards it due to the two energies conflicting with each other he found out who this energy that invaded his body belonged to, it was linked to that Overlord Somo who he killed his best guest was he gained it when he sliced open the Serpent, yet he felt this energy invade his body before he passed out therefore piecing together that the Serpent said the words he was finally free and The Priest from his village telling him that it came out of the newly gained Tattoo on his body, Overlord Somo was sealed in Caladbolg the reason most likely involves The Black Heart as for the threat this Red Energy poses it should be harmless as long as he absorbs The Red Energy completely. It took him 2 hours to drain that energy completely of any influence Overlord Somo had over it the finished result was sparking green energy orbs giving off the feeling of deadly poison, within a minute a blue window popped up in his face.
New Skill Gained: Soul Venom.
''Inspect.''
Those weaker than the User affected by this Deadly Poison will have their soul erased in an instant otherwise weaken or paralysis targets nerves. (2 minute cool-down.)
''Hmm, interesting a poison that affects the soul huh? Must be the reason all those priests were killed without that Overlord moving the poison probably isn''t viable to the naked eye as it targets the soul itself well no better way to find out than to test it for myself.'' Within minutes he was wide awake ready to satisfy his curiosity he went deeper into the forests searching for a wide animal or monster to test this new skill of his on, so far he wasn''t lucky finding no beasts nor monsters in sight, this carried on for 10 minutes or so into he heard a scream the high pitched voice most likely belonged to a female. From his calculations the shout could be heard from the north, thinking this was the perfect chance to test his new skill and to potentially meet a beauty he went towards the scream immediately dashing through the forest as fast as possible he stopped as he heard voices, hiding himself quickly behind a rock he saw old men in white and blue robes chanting with a beautiful snow white haired youth with ice blue eyes in the center of some magic circle one after another the priest would drop blood onto the magic circle and it would glow brighter and brighter, Aku not wanting to find out the result of this spell decided to test the waters with Soul Venom if they died then that was a good result otherwise he would know what to expect out of their strength. Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. His eyes like Overlord Somo became filled with blood lust sending his attack towards the priest about to stab his hand it shattered his soul into thousands of pieces the priests eyes went completely white as his lifeless body crashed onto the ground, the other priest weren''t even able to react as Aku speed made him too fast to counter against slicing through them one after another Caladbolg draining them of their blood, Aku of course made sure to leave one alive to question still in the back of his mind he was surprised by his sudden increase of speed since yesterday. ''Hm it seems that I can only target a single person at once anymore and it lowers in power I''ll have to experiment some more with Soul Venom later, for now I should tie this priest up with cloth and speak to that lady over there from what I can tell she should be a bit younger than me.'' Just as he was about to tie the priest up the moment he touched him he had a headache he kept having images flash in his eyes there was an angel with a heavenly smile and long white hair standing over top of a devilish red haired demon preparing to finish him off with a sword attack suddenly before the attack hit everything turned white and he was back in the forest, having no idea what he saw he decided now was not the time to go over the images he saw and to quickly tie this man up before he wakes. Checking that the man was wrapped tight in the ropes he went to the girl who was in that magic circle, the girl had long eyelashes, and pink lips that sucked you in even with the small amounts of dirt on her face it didn''t lower her beauty a bit under it you could even see a mole on her cheek compared to some of the other girls he met in this life she was one of the prettiest. Forcing himself to stop looking at her he gathered firewood immediately starting a fire putting her near it to keep her warm after finishing with that he went towards that priest with a long beard slapping him into he woke up the priest slowly bought his face up and looked at the young boy with taints of red in his hair, the priest staring at the boy almost had a heart attack looking into those golden eyes of his. ¡°Who are you? And what were you planning to do with that girl over there?¡± The priest didn''t answer only staring at him. *punch* ¡°Argh!¡± Aku with a merciless expression on his face kept punching the priest into he felt like answering him. ¡°Please....stop I''ll answer you.¡± Aku stopped punching him with a pleased expression on his face this priest was quite lucky if he didn''t answer within the next two minutes Aku would have started to remove fingers doing this got him to remember back to how he got information out of gangsters who were sent to teach him a lesson in his old life of course they only walked away with a missing nose or ear. ¡°Then....what are you waiting for get to it.¡± After the priest calmed himself down he told Aku what he and the others with him were trying to do with the child. ¡°I and my fellow priests belong to The Cult of Rotrazen ruled by The All Knowing Emperor himself we were ordered to use the spell taught to us 2 years ago on this child here by our superior.¡± ''Aku inwardly wondered why would a Cult ruled by an Emperor go through all this effort to use a spell on a mere child younger than himself and who gave the order exactly?'' ¡°Who gave you the order? And what does the spell do?¡± ¡°It was...¡± As the priest was about to give the name his body suddenly exploded with blood and guts going all over the place. ''Damn, I should have knew that the one who gave the order would have a spell encase this foolish priest spilled the beans still I wonder if that girl knows anything about why these priests came after her.'' Changing back to normal his eyes returned to their normal color while his horns disappeared, resting his eyes for a bit he drifted to the realm of darkness. 15 hours later Countdown: 6207 days left to..... Waking up he noticed that the girl who was laying near the fire disappeared as he was about to go searching he could hear the sound of someone moving around in water going near the source he saw a lake in the middle was a snow white haired youth cleaning their body and hair Aku would usually be excited seeing a naked lady yet....something was wrong here. ''Impossible it can''t be.....that''s a boy!'' END
