《Abandon all hope by Darkmatter》 Prologue 1 The betrayal "Wake up, little prince Aleg", softly said his maid, waking up the 8 year old prince. His short black hair and azure green eyes combined with a bewitching smile, promised him a good future of being eye candy to the opposite gender. "It is time for breakfast", she repeated in a softly tone. Aleg finally woke up and got himself ready with the help of his maid. Wearing a black shirt and black shorts, he looked awefully like a small panther cat walking on 2 legs. Simply said, he looked too cute. Walking down the alley on a red carpet with golden lions on it, he finally reached the Dining Hall Room. His older brother Arnold and his younger brother Meron, as well as his parents, were already seated and waiting for him. The King, his father runtled "Why the hell is it taking you so long every single time? Anyways let us commence our breakfast, I have important matters to do." Once they finished breakfast, the 3 brothers left together to their sword fighting class. On the way there, his elder brother Arnold kept hitting Aleg in the back and made him trip over twice."Watch out where you walk, you small dirty maggot!", snorted Arnold out with a disdainful voice. Meron ignored both, as he knew, all about the relationship between those two. Arnold was 2 years older than the second prince, but his jealousy about his brother''s looks made him bully him every single day, when they were alone. Even though Meron was only 6 years old and the other 2 respectively 8 and 10, he made up a cunning plane to take the throne for himself, once they get older. "Arnold is too busy focusing on bullying Aleg and make him submit to him. Hehehe, once Arnold mentally cripples him, I will poison Arnold and get the throne for myself. What a plan! One dead, the other a mental wrack and the third, the King!" He thought to himself and letting out a devilish grin. Ten years had passed and Aleg turned out in a beautiful 18 year old man. If it wouldnt have been for his mental condition the females would be fawning all over him. The constant bullying of his older brother Arnold, turned him into a frail sheep, even though his body was toned with muscles. He saw Arnold approaching and immidiatelly looked on the ground staring at the golden lion, which was the symbol for being brave. "Have you touched another maid, my dear younger brother, I feel like raping more, hehe.", asked him Arnold in a mocking voice. No response was heard from Aleg. Every time he touched a woman his brother Arnold would rape them. He could not let it be to instill fear into him through violence, he had to take it to another level to punish him and the people, who would get close to Aleg. Aleg''s mind was in shambles, not only did he receive punches for nothing, but his sheer presence even punished the people around him. "Those two are at it again. As it looks like his mental health has been damaged beyond repair, nobody will have that thing as a King." Thought Meron to himself as he quietly observed the scene while walking by. 2 days later a sudden illness has struck their King the father. The healers couldnt recognize the Disease and deemed it to be fatal. The King called out to his sons to come up and meet them on his deathbed. While he waited for them to come, he started pondering"Arnold, my eldest son, he is the crown prince and thus the most likely successor, but I heard an intriguing story from a maid that he raped her, just because she touched Aleg. What nonsense! I know Arnold has been bullying him a few times, but if he can not withstand one or two punches, then he is not deemed to be of royal blood. Aleg should have held his head high instead of turning his head down like a mere slave. Meron is too young, to lead the Slavon Kingdom, but I love him the most. Oohh, my youngest and dearest son, I wish I could live until the day of your wedding. You will always be papa''s dearest treasure." The doors suddenly opened and the 3 princes walked in. "Welcome my dear sons, unfortunately your father wont live to the day of your weddings, but that is how life is. Some die at the tender age of 18 some in their middle age, because of an uncurable illness and some of old age." He rumbled with a husky voice and continued,"You are wondering who will inherit the throne, as for me, it is obvious. Please come to me Arnold and hold my hand. You my son shall reign over the lands of the Slavon Kingdom. I hope you will do well just as I did. My other sons I love you both and my heritance for you is a castle each at the border with some lands." This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. Arnold thought to himself "Finally, that old fart is handing me his scepter!" Aleg was saddened to hear that his father would die and hoped for a miracle to happen, because he knew once he passed away, there is no chance he would live a day under the command of the new King Arnold. Meron was the calmest out of those 3, while Arnold had a grin on his face and Aleg was just making a sad expression, he schemed calmly with a poker face on how to set his plan in motion. They exited the King''s chamber with wishing their father the best of his health. Meron quietly cursed inside of himself while walking back to his room "Why does that old geezer have to die now?! Guess I will have to poison Arnold tomorrow during breakfast... luckily i bought the poison a week ago." He set his plan in motion and poisoned the tea early that morning, that only his brother Arnold drank. It was breakfast time and the whole royal family was gathered including the King. "I have good news", started the king talking " Somehow in the night I had a dream about a mysterious being, which cured me. Today when i woke up i felt refreshed and full with new energy." Aleg smiled across his face and thanking God for hearing his prayers and granting them. Suddenly Arnold started choking and white bubbly saliva came out of his mouth. The King was shocked to see his eldest son, the next King, being poisoned and shouted for the healers and Guards :" Healers help my son Arnold! And arrest Aleg!!!! I knew you had a wicked mind Aleg, but I didnt think it was damaged this much! Just because Arnold beat you a few times, you think you can poison him and get the crown for yourself????", the King shouted angrily and ordered " You are being publicly executed tomorrow for high treason!" Aleg''s face was twisted by shock, disbelief and he screamed to his father:" I didnt do it my dear father, pleeeassse!!", while the guards dragged him away. Next Chapter Prologue 2: Execution As the guards dragged Aleg by his arms, his face showed eyes wide open not even blinking for a second. His mind was paralysed due to the sudden turn of the events. Shock, disbelief and desperateness was written all over his face. Trying to grasp the situation he got put in didnt work and because of the frozen state of his mind his body started to pour out adrenaline. It was a fight of flight situation, but all he could do was just being stiff as a plank. They finally reached the dark corridors, which were being enlightened by torches scorching your skin, if you got too close. The humid and mossy air made it hard to breathe in the basement and somewhere down the corridor you could hear prisoners begging for forgiveness, while a guard was flicking his whip. There were also quiet moans heard, indicating the people had spent years in the cells. While he was being dragged down to his cell isolated from the rest of all prisoners, he caught a small glance of a 50 year old man, who was nothing but bones and skin. His long white beard and the empty eyes staring holes in a wall indicated that his soul lost all hope. This surreal scene was the last thing he saw before the door of his cell was shut down right in front of his nose. His cell was pitchblack, 2x2meters big and with a hole in the middle for his excrements. Adrenaline was still pumping and thus the frozen state of his mind and body has yet to subside. "Could you imagine this, this mental rat tried to poison our crownprince, while the King was laying in his deathbed. Damn those mental sickos are always the worst beings alive", grunted one guard to another, who had the task to lock Aleg in his cell. As he grunted those words, they walked past the 50 year old man and spit on him and laughing:"Wassap old mental sicko, unlucky you, you wont be executed like the ratprince. Rot in that shithole forever. Hahaha!" Stopping their creepy laughs they made their way to the King to report him, that his second son has been imprisoned as he wished. Arnold was sleeping with a cramped face in his bed and all around him were the healers, his Mother and Meron. They were discussing what might have poisoned him and they came to a conclusion, that it was most likely a powdered dry Moonflower. Usually those flowers are deadly if consumed, however the tea in the camille tea reacted with the moonflower and lightened the disastrous effects. Meron thought to himself:" Man, I cant believe I got off this easily. Guess it was obvious they would blame Aleg. He was being bullied by Arnold on every single occasion. Although it could have gone wrong horribly. Lady luck is smiling upon me! Next time, I will have to think of a better plan and think it over instead of rushing it. Most likely father''s approaching death made me panic, but that fart is now again under the living again.." The queen was having tears in her eyes due to the recent events taking place. She was born in a loving and caring noble family. Unfortunately, she has never had any siblings. Staring at her oldest son, she couldnt imagine, how her second boy tried to poison him. She always thought they were showing their brotherly love towards each other while they punched themselves."I mean that is what boys in their young days do. Competing with each other and testing out their strength and body limits." She thought to herself. She was oblivious to the fact that it was a onesided punching and discarded the possibility of any malice in their actions. The only problem though is jealousy is a big factor for siblings especially for royal ones, if there is a lot of power to be inherited. Her naive viewpoint missed out on all those crucial details. Her naivety might have been the reason why the King married her. While he was having affairs left and right his wife was blindly following him thinking he would be working late into the nights. Any king has mistresses, but if you would make a choice between doing it openly with a wife who just wouldnt notice it and secretively, you would obviously choose the first option. Arnold was riding a white horse laughing like a maniac and waving his scepter left and right. He threw the crown in the middle of all those beautiful naked maidens surrounded near the lake. It must have been at least 50 virgins. He jumped off his horse and indulged himself in the bare legs arms and breasts. The venus hills were all covered with a little bit of grass. An earthquake was shaking up the ground, stronger and stronger. The maidens faded away, while bearted men came into his field of vision. "Looks like he is waking up", commented one healer, " Good evening Arnold, you passed out for like 8 hours due to the poison in your immune system. Your brother Aleg put Moonflower powder in your camille tea. Lucky the effects got mixed up and you are still under the living." Arnold was truly disappointed that he woke up from his dream, the astonishing maidens were about to be defiled by his glorious self. "No way, this shithead tried to poison me! I will tear his balls off and feed them to the dogs!" He angrily shouted. His mothers soothing voice calmed him down as she said that Aleg would be executed tomorrow. Even though she was his mother, she couldnt stand the fact that she gave birth to an abonimation trying to commit fratricide. Arnold''s face was being covered by a large grin and he politely asked:"That means, after his execution I will have my corronation, right?" Meron twirled around his eyes and replied:" Our father is still alive, guess you missed the fact of his miraculous cure, while you were drooling white saliva" Arnold''s grin immidiately disappeared since his corronation day had been moved to a date further away. The only positive thing in the situation he was in, was that his long lasting eye sore of a brother was being executed. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. The healers left the room satisfied seeing their crownprince was back in shape as well as his mother and younger brother wishing him a good night. Unlike his older brother, Aleg didnt sleep on a comfortable bed like Arnold and the smell was even worse than the floor. His frozen state had been finally lifted and his mind started functioning again after he cried himself to sleep. "I endured so much humiliation from my older brother and now even the attempted murder is harming me. His whole existence has given me nothing but bad luck. What is even worse is that Meron is most likely the one behind the attempt and I have to give my life for him...", he calmly grinded his gears."The older brother took my precious childhood and my younger brother is going to end my beginning adulthood. I WANT TO BREAK FREE OF THIS CURSED FAMILY!!!"'', he shouted out of the top of his lungs. He swore to himself, if he ever gets out of the grasp of his family, he will get revenge for all the crimes they had commited. The blindness of his father, the naivety of his mother, the bullying of his elder brother and the plotting of his younger brother, will not go unpunished. In the Slavon Kingdom inside the royal palace, in a dark cell smelling of shit a young shy boy with azure green eyes turned into a man and pledged to get vengeance. Morning had come and all the attempts on breaking out of his cell were in vain. Aleg heard foot steps approaching with a small clack-clack. The door opened and the two guards who put him in the cell stood in front of it, putting handcuffs and a collar on his neck."No, no, no, not yet, I have to survive and get my revenge. I must not be executed!", those thoughts crossed Aleg''s mind. As he walked past the old man void of hope he whispered to him:"Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here." Aleg looked confused into his eyes, noticing only the emptiness of those said eyes as he was being dragged along. He finally arrived to the exit seeing the bright sun light as well as his family on the balcony and the raging citizens in front of the executioners. They screamed loudly:" KILL THE RAT PRINCE, CHOP HIS HEAD OFF! KILL THE RAT PRINCE, CHOP HIS HEAD OFF!" The King announced his speech with silencing the plebeians:" Aleg Kasra, son of Vlad Kasra, prince of the Slavon Kingdom, you have been found guilty of attempted fratricide and high treason. You have commited one of the greatest sins in the kingdom you live in, thus the only acceptable punishment is decapitation. Do you have any last words?" Aleg replied:"I shouldnt have prayed for your well being, while you were knocking on death''s door. I curse you, my family and God for letting those things happen to me!" The plebeians got even crazier and started throwing stones while shouting:" Not only are you a murderer, but also blasphemous! Rot in hell!" The king signaled with a hand movement, telling the executioner to commence. Aleg saw the signal and his head ignored all the cries of the plebeians the only thing his mind was focused on in slowmotion were the hatefilled faces of the plebeians and the grinning brothers of his. SMASHHHHH! Next Chapter Chapter 1: The Beginning Chapter 1: The Beginning As the executioner''s axe cut off his head clean, blood spurted all over the first front of the plebeians. The jet stream of blood was a spectacle to behold. Aleg''s head had a deterred face on it, while it dropped with a loud bump on the ground rolling down the platform and finally landing in front of a plebeians''s foot. He took the head and threw it in the middle of the raging mass. No honor was meant to be uphold for the execution of the second Prince. They literally dishonored his very existence from the day since he was born and going even further after his death. The head was being thrown around and spit on, until someone kicked the head in the river. The King''s family watched without any remorse for their actions, since Vlad himself thought, that''s what happens to traitors. Arnold was happy for getting his revenge and Meron was just as happy for not being the one with his chopped off head in the river near the castle. His mother had left after his head fell down the floor. Aleg had no possibility to watch the spectacle going on with his head after the decapitation. The only thing he felt was something glowing was exiting with the jet stream of blood. His soul started floating over the castle walls, flying a bit to the right and a bit to the left. His consciousness slowly faded away as his soul reached the 100 meter height mark. Reason being was the possible fear of heights. Nobody noticed the soul exiting his body apart from the old man in his dark cell. Aleg''s jailmates void eyes had a small spark of light in them as he whispered:"The Soul has been set free. My Lord I will soon join your army." He spurted some more nonsense and with a satisfied smile he turned his face back to the wall and continued doing what he did the past 30 years, he had been imprisoned. Aleg''s consciousness slowly returned with opening his eyes gap by gap. The scenery he saw was indescribable. He was laying on something cushion-like and as he tried to stand up and put power in his arms, he noticed the cushion-like things were white. "What the hell is going on? Where am I?", he asked surprisingly. The birds around him started chirping and the scenery he noticed was just as bewitching. An azure blue sky and the ground was as white as snow. All the pigeons were white combined with a faint blue why they were flying all around him. Their pecks gently touched him indicating the way where he had to go. "No way, this looks like heaven..? How did I even end up here???" he argued with himself, while his eyes flew over the scenery disbelieving what they saw. He started following the pigeons that had a holy aura around them. As he slowly walked on the cushion-like ground, he felt like a child jumping on a very comfortable bed. Each step he made bounced back his whole weight. He unconsciously grabbed his neck in a hurry just to make sure every limb was in its place. Everything was there where it should be, but around his neck was a faint blood-red line. "The line must be indicating where the executioner decapitated me.", he thought. The scenery of the ground slowly changed and he noticed white Lotus flowers on the ground paving along the path that suddenly came across his way. The path had a faint glow of yellow and somewhere far away he heard voices, even more beautiful than all the music world had to offer. With each step along the path the voices got louder and even more gracious. After walking for five more minutes, he saw in the approaching distance golden gates and a humanoid like creature. "Welcome to Heaven.", the angel expressed with a slow motion of his hand. Aleg was basically flabbergasted and he couldn''t imagine in his wildest dreams, he would land in Heaven while cursing God and his whole family during his execution. As if the Angel read his mind he replied with a smile out of this world:"You''ve been living your whole life without ever hurting a single ant. Your brothers abused you and you took it like a true son of God turning them your other cheek. The prayers for the well-being of your father were heard by God and he was truly moved by the devotion you had for your father. He granted your wish the very same night and cured your father Vlad with his omnipotent power. As for the words you spilled right before your death, God is ready to forgive you, as long as you truly regret it from the very bottom of your soul." Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. The angel saw Aleg approaching with tears in his eyes and spreading his arms to hug him. While working for God he''s never seen a human being moved this much to tears, because he got another chance for heaven and out of pity for that fragile human he prepared himself to hug Aleg. As both their arms were almost reaching each others backs, the angels eyes were wide open staring at the scene unfolding before his eyes. Aleg bit right into his neck and spit out the angel''s Adam''s apple. How could I be fooled a creation of God having the privilege to work for Him. Aleg responded to his disturbed face trying to comprehend the situation:"Fuck God, I chose my own Path, even though I''m in the afterlife, I won''t ever bow to anyone anymore!" The angel dropped dead in front of Heaven''s Gate and the azure blue sky turned in a big black maliciously thundering cloud. "You dare to kill Michael, I sentence you to be forever bound in chains in the deepest parts of Hell!", growled God and from Aleg''s point of view it was like the whole scenery was being absorbed in a black hole after the howls of God. Aleg was satisfied with his deed, since this would be the beginning of the rise of an incurable disease for all the humans on earth. He was robbed of all his senses and when he tried to move all his muscles hurt as if his body was in a sarcophage. The solid thick iron chains wrapped over his body and only a small gap was visible for his nose to breathe. In a place deep down in the earth, where the stench of rotten flesh was omnipresent lived demonic creatures, who had never seen the sunlight, only the lava dripping down the wall. The caves and rooms were enlightened in a dark red glow emanating from the Lava, which disappeared even further down. Following the streams of lava, the further you got down the more vile the creatures got and the more maliciousness and evilness they displayed during their huntings. In the deepest part of Hell resided the seven Princes of Hell. Satan, the Prince of Wrath, was known as the first adversary to God. His wrath made the whole earth tremble once. Lucifer, the Prince of Pride, originally a fallen Angel. He rebelled against God, because his Pride made him think he was better than him. Beelzebub, The Prince of Gluttony, his never-ending Gluttony killed many people through starvation. Mammon, The Prince of Greed, invoked havoc between the rich and poor disturbing the balance of human social abilities. Asmodeus, The Prince of Lust, spread sexual diseases across the globe. Belphegor, The prince of Sloth, prolonged the time for humans to evolve themselves due to their laziness. Leviathan, The prince of Envy, made human romantic relationships shatter and obstructed the growth of human population. Lucifer was currently in Satan''s domain talking about their good old days, when they killed one angel after another. Satan''s domain was especially for Angelkillers and since Lucifer, nobody has ever been banished in those deepest parts of Hell. Lucifer was once a fallen Angel, but through massive killings in the Hell realm he earned himself the title of a Prince and his own domain. Satan''s Domain was enveloped by black mist and the ground was scorched black. Suddenly the black mist got more dense and dense until it was as black as the Lands of the void, a part in Hell nobody dared to enter. The black mist spit out a big cross that was wrapped in iron chains. "Lucifer, did you put acid in my drink? I think my eyes are playing pranks on me...", asked him Satan. Lucifer replied with a small grin:"Nope, didn''t. I think it''s an angelkiller. I was wrapped in the very same things, when I landed here." Satan''s devilish smile went from ear to ear, as he thought :" Finally, a worthy creature to join our Ranks! Let us untie him." Aleg felt some rumbling in his iron sarcophagus and the weights on his head slowly disappeared. The only thing he saw were two pairs of glowing red eyes and his nose smelled the stench of rotten flesh. "Hello, my dear friend." heard Aleg. Next chapter Chapter 2: Hells Gate Author''s Note: I would like to thank you for the replies I have gotten so far. It really makes me motivated to keep writing even though I train and learn. I have written most chapters so far in the middle of the night on my mobile phone. Thus I am apologizing for any typos and I hope you understand my broken english without any big difficulties haha xD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 2: Hell''s Gate As soon as I saw those 2 pairs of glowing red eyes I knew where I had landed. However the most surprising thing was that the first Person greeting me was the Lord Satan himself. All the fairy tales about his looks were not made up to scare the children. It was the naked truth about him being half goat and half man. Add glowing red eyes, scorching black wings and sharp teeth like the ones of a tiger, to the mix and there you have him Satan personally. Lucifer however looked like a hard to approach Gentleman. His blonde hair and black wings were a stunning combination with his red eyes. You saw his haughty behaviour from a far and if I wouldnt have been in Hell, I wouldve thought Royalty is standing in front of me. Satan welcomed me to his domain of Wrath and asked me, what I had done to land so deep in the realm of Hell. I explained him my story of the Heavens and how I bit the Angel into his neck. "Bahahaha, truly comedic! Even though I slaughtered loads of Angels, I''d never have the idea of biting one in the neck. You, my friend are a genius.", replied Lucifer while holding his hands to his stommach and laughing as hard as he could. " What is your name by the way?", Satan asked. "Aleg", I answered. "Well Aleg, as far as I am concerned you are currently in my Domain. Since you entertained me loads I will give you the choice of being my servant or disappear from this place.", said Satan. Lucifer smiled and was thinking inwardly:" This bastard pulling the same trick as he tried to pull on me, bahahaha! Satan you little wicked whore, unlucky for you, you cant smell the Pride this Aleg emenates. He wont be bowing to nobody!" Aleg was honestly shocked. "The choice once again is either to serve like a loyal dog or fucking disappear. What happens if my soul disappears anyways? I guess, I just cease to exist forever... I am being thrown from a hot pot to a frying pan. Fuck it, I decided to change my way of thinking in that small shit hole and even if Heaven and Hell is against me, I will continue to fight!" "I choose to disappear, since I am neither God''s nor Satan''s servant.", I calmly stated. Satan smirked and replied:"Very well, time for you to disappear." A whip magically appeared in his hands and with a slick movement. the whip was around Aleg''s neck covering the blood-red line of his. Without thinking Aleg grasped the whip and tried to break free, however with another slick movement Aleg was thrown into the air and as he crashed onto the ground, he noticed that he was in the middle of a magic teleportation circle, which suddenly had appeared. The Magic circle activated and Aleg was being teleported. I only heard a small laughter and the words "Good choice to disappear." "Once again, you are displaying pure wickedness. What would you have done, if he had chosen to become your servant?", Lucifer asked. "What a stupid question. Do you think I would have a dog that bites his owner as a servant? Fuck that shit. I would have devoured his soul", Satan replied," ..hopefully he will appreciate the small present I have give him." Lucifer made himself on his way to his domain thinking about the words of Satan and what present he could have given Aleg. Aleg felt like he was being flushed down a toilet. Everything was twirling around and the feeling of space and time being bent almost made him throw up. Suddenly the twirling came to a halt and another scenery was unfolding before his eyes. He saw tons of dead trees, no wonder considering the earth looked dark red. "What is this fancy sound, do I hear voices?", Aleg pondered. As he approached the source, which disturbed the deadly silence in the forest, he saw a group of two men and three women talking to each other next to a river. He greeted the group and everyone silenced. "Who is he?" "Don''t you normally appear next to the river like we did?" "Maybe he forgot to catch the ferry?" "Must be it. Everyone hears the demonic voice once saying to wait for the ferryman." And the last woman asked Aleg:"Are you the ferryman?" The others from the group sighed and screamed in unison:"You dumb whore, does he look like a ferry man to you? He has no freaking boat! You should suck some more, so you have the possibility of getting a smart shot!" If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Aleg was truly dumbfounded, since that woman, who had been called a dumb whore had voluptuos breasts, long black silky hair, eyes green like the most beautiful emerald stone in the world and skin as white as the moonflower. "So who are you?" Asked him the one eyed man. Aleg responded:" Nobody, just a travelling soul. I have been everywhere. On earth, in Heaven and Hell." "Kay, got''cha you are a compulsive liar.", he declared".. we two are pirates and 2 of those women are thieves and the last big breasted girl is literally the dumb whore." The dumb whore introduced herself:"My name is Annie and yours?" "Aleg.", i monotonously said. -"ooooh, nice to meet you Aleg!", she happily stated while clapping her hands. The one eyed pirate broke down the conversation before it could get started with:" Enough of the chit chatting, the ferryman is approaching!" "Welcome to the styx river damned souls. My name is Charron the ferryman. I will grant you a safe passage through the river styx, which holds the lost souls. In case you do not want to enter Hell''s realm or you do not have a coin with you for the entry fee, you can choose to either jump off this boat to join the river styx or work on a construction site to earn your money. The lost souls have the ability to visit their loved ones every full moon until the day they die. With their loved ones death, the lost soul ceases to exist and vanishes forever into the Land of the Void.", thus Charron''s long introduction ended. "Enter the boat!", Charron commanded. We entered the boat and Charron started rowing. We all sat in that boat without saying a single word awaiting the thing that lies in front of us. Since I knew already what awaited me in hell i was not as tense as the rest of the group. Suddenly the pirate with both eyes jumped off the boat screaming:"I am too afraid! I Rather watch my children grow up." -"What a coward and I thought of you as a friend. We die together in battle and enter Hell''s Realm together.", stated the one eyed pirate. As he spoke, the other pirate vanished in the muddy water, because the lost souls grabbed with their white limbs for their new recruit joining their ranks. Everyone was speechless due to the scene reminding of gruesome night stories, which were being told at campfires deep in the night. One thief whispered to another:" We don''t have any coins. Neither do I think that the dumb whore has coins. Aleg was obviously a scaredy cat, which was too afraid to join the ferry the first time, since he did not have any money with him. I bet he made his mind up to jump into the styx river at the very end." The other thief replied quietly:" Let''s rob the pirate, he must have money!" As soon as the thieves made their move, they were magically catapulted into the styx river and Charron explained:" I grant safe passages for my souls and honestly speaking most people in that river were offenders trying to commit petty crimes on my boat. Hehehe, but it is always a nice view, when you see someone jumping out of their own will." Aleg saw the approaching gate, which had skulls as its pillar and the doors were made out of thousands of layers of bat wings. Bumpppp, they hit the shore and Charron wished them their farewells. Aleg approached the gate with the pirate and the prostitute. All were amazed by the sight they saw. A talking threeheaded big sized dog! "My name is Cerberus, the gate''s Guardian. Woof. Pay up! Woof!" Me and the pirate answered, that we didnt have any coins. Cerberus rumbled forth:"If you cannot pay, you are obliged to work at the construction site repairing our city walls for one month." Cerberus sniffed Aleg, oogled the number 666 on the back of his neck and continued:" I am sorry for not recognizing a noble faster, your entry is free!" This is where their ways split, the one eyed pirate went to work for the entry fee and Aleg went inside with the whore Annie after she had paid up. Cerberus was still astonished to see a noble from Hell walking around in the deadwoods and using the ferry. Nonetheless Cerberus shouldnt interfere in a Nobleman''s business. He shruggged off his thoughts and welcomed Aleg and Annie to the city of Petoskrim. Next chapter Chapter 3: City of Petoskrim Chapter 3: City of Petoskrim As the thick doors of the Gate were opened, Aleg and Annie were welcomed to the city of Petoskrim. Right after the city was visible through a small gap a buzzing noise hit their ear drums, indicating this was a very busy city. They walked down the street for 15 minutes seeing mostly merchants of different races selling various ingredients that make you apparently stronger. Most merchants were lowly human souls trying to make a living, while selling bat wings, frog eggs and fish tails. Those ingredients mixed together had various effects depending on how much of each you were putting in. You could either get an aphrodisiac, increased stamina for a short while or the ability to grow wings for two minutes. Obviously the human souls were not skilled enough to make those potions and thus the potions were mostly sold by imps, who had the knowledge to produce it. Imps had red skin, small horns and a short pointy tail. Their size was more or less the same as the size of the goblins. Goblins looked like deformed midgets with long ears and a face that makes you puke. Even though their looks and stench was horrid, they were selling very beautiful necklaces and rings. There were also rare amulets, some of them had an onimous black aura due to the effects of being cursed. Aleg told Annie:" It looks like those goblins are the richest in Petoskrim. Kind of funny considering they are fucking ugly." Annie chuckled and it looked like they reached the center of the city, since all the different streets lead to this place. In the middle was a four meter large fountain made out of black marmor. Although it wasnt water that was spurting out, but thick, hot magma. Annie remarked:" Woooooooww, Aleggg!! This looks soooo beautiful! The spurting magma looks soooooo entracing." Aleg replied:"I see someone who is even more charming." While he watched her big breasts jump up and down, because she was jumping out of sheer happiness to see such a captivating view of the fountain. A goblin approached Aleg from the back after seeing the mark on his neck and offered him his most valuable piece:" I wish you a very bloody day my Lord. I have a very special amulet for your human slave you have with you. It can make an exact same copy of the slave. I promise you double the fun for only 20 thousand blagos!" Aleg was a bit confused as to why this goblin called him a Lord too and refused the offer. In the very same moment he refused the offer, two male thieves came with blackjacks knocking Annie out and kidnapping her. "Finally we can fuck something! Those prostitues are way too expensive and since they are demons we cant kidnap and rape them without vanishing in the Land of the Void.", said one tarnished soul to another. The other soul replied:" Yes my brother, it has been ages! Working at that construction site for four years, because of those lava floodings we kept respawning at Hell''s Gate and that damn dog kept sending us back to work. Damn that construction site with its special magic resembling a purgatory!" Aleg felt responsible for Annie, even though he didnt know her for a long time, because of Arnold who kept raping the girls he touched. He did not want it to happen again and stormed right after the thieves with a malicious look in his eyes. He followed them in a small dark alley way without being noticed, where they suddenly disappeared. He walked to the dead end, just to see a hidden door in the wall. The thief holding Annie put her on the table and started undressing her:"Ooooooooohhhhh, my brother look at those firm breasts. They are as big as honey melons!", while feeling her down there with his hands and grabbing her breasts. BAMMMMM The door was smashed open and in the door frame was a panting Aleg. Aleg saw the scene right before his eyes after smashing the door open. A thief touching Annie''s private parts and the other sticking out his tongue like a horny dog. Something in his stommach felt like exploding and Aleg started hyperventilating. His vision got hazy, but his mind was still comprehending the whole situation. HE angrily yelled:" YOU DAAAARRREEDDD TO TOUCCHHH HERR???!!!!!!" The mark on his neck started glowing fire red and all the hatred bottled up inside of him for all those years was exploding. Around him appeared tons of ghost like faces flying all around him. The ghost like faces were tormented souls, who have been abused their whole life. With Aleg''s wrath they have been summoned to inflict the pain they have experienced on others. Aleg ordered:" DEVOUR!" With a high pitched screech flew the tormented souls towards those thieves entering and exiting the thieves'' soul body and slowly tearing them apart. The thieves were screaming in anguish until only black mist remained of them. Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. The black mist slowly faded away and disappeared after five seconds. Annie woke up after Aleg yelled at the thieves. The situation for her was like a knight in a ghastly armour saving her from the evil. She was still unsure whether to approach Aleg or not, since the scene how the thieves died was purely demonic. Their very soul essence had been ripped off until only the core of it was left, which aldo disappeared in the nothingness. Aleg calmed down and asked Annie:" Are you alright?" "Yes, I am. Thanks to you." -"I hope you are not scared of me after seeing it. Even for me it was a first. I did not know I had such a power." "We are in the hell realm, everyone has sinned here. Do not worry I know how I can repay my debts to a demon.", Annie stated. Annie was kind of flushing, since she had a special constitution, because of her line of work she got wet every time someone touched her private parts directly. Annie seducingly asked Aleg:"Wont you, maybe... join me...? Here on the table..?" Aleg was flabbergasted due to the inexperience with the opposite gender, but who could resist such an alluring sight. Annie was biting her lips softly, demanding for him with a finger making a sign to come to her, while spreading her legs slowly. Aleg was drowning in his first sexual experience and after the deed was done on the wooden table. Annie smiled and said:" You are my first demon ever." And so did Aleg reply:" You are the first human for me, too." Ingulfing himself in the feeling he just had experienced, he started thinking about the meeting with Satan:" People call me a lord or Nobleman, the blood-red cut on my neck disappeared and the back of it burned. Most likely Satan inscribed something there and the possibility of me being a human soul is close to zero, because of my newly discovered ability Pain of the Tormented (Description of the ability is found at the bottom of thus post.)... I wonder what is inscribed on my neck though.." Aleg asked Annie while she was dressing herself:" What is written on the back of my neck?" -"666, why?" "Thank you Annie." Aleg kept pondering:"666 heh.... What could it possibly mean." As soon as they dressed themselves up, they left the house walking back to the fountain. Aleg saw something unexpected that made his mouth drop down. The gaping hole between his teeth let out a sound:" What the hell is this old geezer doing here?????" As soon as he blurted the words old geezer out loud, the very said person was walking towards him and Annie. "Good evening second Prince. I see you arrived safely to the city of Petoskrim", said the old geezer while making a bow. -" How??? I thought you were sentenced for a longlife sentence in the jail??... Did they execute you, too?" "No, I commited suicide just to serve under you.", answered the old geezer with the jetblack eyes, that were once void. "By the way, my name is Gavro. Sentenced to a long life prison sentence in the jails of the royal castle of the Slavon Kingdom for experimenting with the souls of animals. A devilish work I gotta admit hahahaha." -"Why would you want to serve me Gavro?" "You, master Aleg, I saw the soul you had and the future I wish has the highest probability of happening, while serving under you. Hopefully you will accept this, mad scientist." -"I guess, why not?" Said Aleg while trying to figure out his motive thinking:" He is hiding something, however who am I to judge. An opponent of my opponent is a friend of mine. Definitely he hates thr Slavon Kingdom as I do." Gavro replied with:" I swear my loyalty to you, master", thinking:" It was the right choice to choose him. I have studied the dark arts since the age of seven and never have I seen a demon walking around with the number of the beast" Annie heard none of the conversation between Gavro and Aleg, since she happily watched the entrancing fountain a few meters away. Nonetheless she was happy to have another comrade join them, when Aleg introduced Gavro to her. Spoiler :
Pain of the Tormented
Summons tormented Souls to attack. Beings, who cant withstand the mental pain, have their body devoured leaving only the core of the soul behind.
Chapter 4: Black Arts Chapter 4: Black Arts Annie was happy to see another person join them, since after her sudden heat attack, it was kind of hard to look at Aleg directly. She was supposedly thinking:" I might have forced him onto me with my charm. Some men are disgusted, if the girl they want to fuck is a prostitute and refrain from any further contact. Most likely Aleg is not that type. However he wasnt as experienced as I expected him to be. It felt like having sex with a virgin. Although if he is not disgusted by prostitutes, this means he has had them before. This does not particularly explain why he fucks like it was his first time. Aaarrrghhh thinking soooo much makes my head hurt! Whatever it felt like a good time, that is all that matters." While the group was walking towards a restaurant to still their hunger, they noticed how Annie suddenly screamed "arrrgghhhh" and shaked her head. Aleg asked her:" Are you alright, Annie?" Annie''s cheeks slightly turned red and she responded with a quiet "yes" averting her eyes from Aleg''s gaze. Gavro let out a laugh:"Hoohhohohoo, It is nice being young!", and mentioned " Oh, here is an Inn, let''s just eat here instead of a restaurant, plus it is less expensive." They agreed with Gavro''s proposal since both of them had no blagos, the currency used in the Hell realm. They entered the Inn and it looked like any other. Some goblins in bronze chainmails were completely wasted and talked about their glorious days, when they were hunting hundreds of bats. Aleg thought:" They must have been drinking since the early morning or they never stopped since the last night." In another corner were 3 souls seated, that looked like war veterans. No matter how tough they looked, as a human soul you had no potential of becoming strong. Most likely they have been doing lots of errands to afford to stay in an Inn. Small implings were playing on the floor while the implings'' parents furiously discussed about the best method of mixing a flight potion that lasts for a longer period of time. They seated themselves and Gavro ordered rat meat on sticks. Gavro started talking:" Only the lower demons eat meat of the lower creatures like rats and bats. The high ranking ones usually feast upon the lower demons walking around. Long story short eat before the rat meat gets cold." Aleg chewed on the rat meat like no other. The use of his ability has left him starving and any source of energy was appreciated. Unlike Aleg Annie had trouble eating something mouse-like. She was chewing on the rat meat with a distorted face, trying to imagine a medium grilled steak. The thought of that beefy medium distracted her from the nonexisting fondness for rat meat. Aleg and Gavro finished eating roughly at the same time and while Annie still fought with that stick of hers, Aleg posed the one million dollar question:" Why do you know so much about this Realm, Gavro?" " Hohohohoho, it will take a while to explain, do you mind listening?" -" We have enough time on our hands, it''s not like we can die from old age." " Hohohoho, what a splendid joke, you deserve applause master!" Gavro started clapping his hands and continued: " It all started when I was seven years old. My parents were Librarians and had that strange hobby to collect any book they came across. It didnt matter if it was a book about cooking stones or the drawings of some 70 year old grannies. During my usual procedures of looking for strangely looking books to read in the library. I came across a thick book covered in dust. My interest was peaked, because of the ominous feeling I got from that book. Because of my young age i couldnt detain my excitement to read the book. I basically dropped all other strangely looking books i was holding and approached that particular book. The title was " The Forbidden Black Arts"" -" And what was written in that book exactly", Aleg impatiently asked. " The book was about summoning Demons from a realm, from this realm to be exact. Various sacrifices had to be met to summon a demon and as I got older, I got sick of summoning some lowly creatures like a demon rat or a demon bat, I wanted to summon a being with greater intelligence. The sacrifices were usually souls. The greater the power of the demon summoned, the more souls you would need. Before you ask me how I could obtain souls in our mortal realm, I will answer it for you. A soul leaves the body and stays near it only for the first five seconds after death. You basically have 5 seconds to kill all the animals needed for the sacrifice and chant the specific summoning spell. Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. That is where it got tricky, how am I supposed to kill one hundred animals bigger than a cat within five seconds. Unfortunately I came up with the answer when I turned twenty. I caught 100 deer and let them starve for 7 days. I prepared a special mixture of grass containing moonflower powder for the deer. I fed it to them simultanously and ten minutes later, they all died. I chanted the spell as fast as possible and the summoning was complete. I summoned a demon from the city of Makolar. The demon''s name was Heviel. " Wait, wait, where is that Makolar city you were speaking of?", Aleg asked. " It is a city for middle class demons, a two week march away from here. Anyway, continuing with the story. He asked me what I desired and the price for it would be a soul. However I wasnt as stupid to demand anything from Heviel just to let my soul get stolen, another factor was the desire I developed during a young age to keep wanting to know more. I started with small talk and lead the conversation from one part to another until I extracted enough information from the Realm of Hell. In my opinion it was the smartest choice, since I would have landed there anyways. Better to know more about a place you will be visiting. I got to know you had to pay up the gate guardian, a good way for making blagos was to collect dead tree branches, which were unusually hard to cut. However with the right trick it was like picking up leaves. The city everyone arrived first was called Petoskrim and here comes the most important part! How demons actually get stronger. There is two ways for demons getting stronger. One way is to eat a soul core, which is equal or stronger than the soul core you possess. The other is contracts with other beings to trick them into giving their soul core to you as a price. Unfortunately the first method is only reserved for high ranking demons with special abilities knowing how to devour a soul core. The mid and lower class demons, have to rely on the contracts to get stronger. Thus the hierarchy is quite harsh. Nobody wants to do contracts with lower class demons, because their strength is very limited. If any mid class demon reaches the high class, his very soul gets devoured by some high class demons who waits for the new and younger prey out of pure fun. It is not like the stalking high class demons get any stronger from devouring them, but the sheer thought of imaging a low class demon working his way up through incountable contracts just to get devoured by them, amuses them. Thus my long lecture ended." -" I have seen that soul core, it looked like black fog. How are you supposed to absorb that anyway... It is kind of uncatchable like fairy dust.", said Aleg. Annie had finished her grilled rat meat and all that talk about books souls, bla bla bla got her kind of sleepy, so before she completely fell asleep she stated:"Im going for little girls." Gavro and Aleg were both immersed in the conversation, so they didnt even notice her leave. "Hohohoho, so many questions youngster, I was soon caught after the deer massacre and put in jail, but I made sure to not let any of that information go to waste that Hieviel gave me. Thus during my time in prison I developed a special technique on how to absorb the soul core hoping it would help me in Hell''s realm. I must admit, it worked with a rat I killed, while waiting for you to show up. However the pain I experienced was unimaginable. The fusing of human soul cores and demon ones is not a Process I intend on doing." -" Wait whaaaaaat? You developed a technique for absorbing soul cores??? Does that mean every freaking demon would be able to use it, if you teach them???" "It is a special technique that I can teach only once. By the way I finished the technique, when you went past me towards your execution. Anyway, point being I can only teach it once, because the knowledge of it disappears and gets transfered to my student." "Woaaaah, I guess every technique has its pros and cons.", said Aleg astonished. In the very same moment Aleg let out that big woaaah returned Annie from the toilet. "Did I miss somethung?", she asked. "Not really.", answered both Gavro and Aleg in unison. Next Chapter Chapter 5: Red Light District Chapter 5: Red Light District Annie seated herself next to Aleg and acted indifferently about the thing she just may have missed. Usually some businessmen frequented brothels to engage in sexual activites trying to bribe eachother about the upcoming deals and contracts. Mostly they were talking in a private room after having fun and sometimes the girls were present. The big mama always advised their girls to be discreet about such deals. Since spoiling company secrets of the businessmen would mean losing very well paying customers. However Aleg wasnt a customer. She grabbed Aleg''s hand with puff red cheeks and told him:" Whatever the secret you two might have a committing w-wi-w- ehm person will always find it out." Aleg was really surprised by the sudden actions of Annie and told her:"It wouldnt be surprising, commited persons usually wont stop until they get, what they are looking for." He moved his hand out of Annie''s reach because an uncontrollable desire in his nether regions started waking up. "Man, I cant get it to my head the old man is still here.", he told his inner self. Gavro observed the two and counted 2 and 2 together proposing:" Let''s get rooms, it is kind of late." Gavro rented out three single rooms for two nights and he ascended the stairs of the Inn, which lead to their respective rooms. Aleg and Annie were gazing into each others eyes, as they saw Gavro walking up the stairs, they suddenly stopped looking into each others eyes and started moving. Annie was fidgeting around thinking:" Not twice in one day! I cant let him think Im an easy girl!", and wished Aleg a Good night. Aleg was looking as if he got struck by a Lightning. "The.. fuck.. she grabbed my hand... gazes deep into my eyes and now she lets me standing in the rain.... How the hell am I supposed to sleep now?" Aleg''s taste of the adult fruit this afternoon awakened a neverending appetite for more. Disappointed he walked into his room and sat on the bed. Nothing out of the ordinary. A single bed with a quite comfortable matress. A wooden wardrobe, table and chair. He laid down on the bed with all his clothes and shoes on. As he looked down his feet, he noticed that his black clothes were a bit tattered and his t-shirt had dried up angelic blood on it. "Maaaaan, no wonder the others waiting for the ferry were suspiciously looking at me. I kind of look like a murderer." Aleg decided to go out and find a clothes shop, unlike in the human realm, the demonic one was rattling with even more customers during the night time. It was a completely different sight during the night lava orbs which enlightened the streets combined with the red dark ground created a surreal atmosphere of the city. It looked like walking inside of an almost extinguished volcano. The stone houses made out of black marmor resembled obsidian stones, which even further increased that volcano like citylook. He saw different species, there were demons with owl heads, vampire servants and wolfmen walking around. All were buying groceries, the owlheads bought out all the rat meat stocks, whereas the wolf men and vampire servants bargled with the blood selling merchants. "Definitely a different view during the night.", Aleg murmured. "Gavro gave me 5 blagos, cant really get much for it." As he ppondered what to get, he saw a street gambler with 3 different cups and 1 ball screaming:" Doubling blagos, if you guess the right cup, where the ball is hidden!" That gambler couldnt be more suspicious since the voice came out of an unlit alley, however when the need for money is existant, you better grab the chance to double it with a bit of luck. Aleg approached the gambler in the dark alley and once he arrived the gambler welcomed him and asked him:" How much you wanna bet?" -"5 blagos" "Blergh, only this little. Fuck that get more money and return if u wanna bet!" Aleg thought:" this fucking small imp is fucking insulting me, while not even accepting my bet. Okay. Calm down Aleg, you need more money for lovely black clothes." Aleg replied as polite as possible:" Please sir, this is the only money I have. I need to try my luck." -"kekekekeke, his only money, lets cheat that poor faggot out of his last money. Reminds me of that poor ass Goblin, whom I cheated for 5000 blagos. Nothing can beat my naturalborn ability to fly away once danger arises kekekeke.", the imp schemed. "Alright, let us play the small game!", shouted the imp and started moving the cups. Aleg noticed at the very last moment that the ball turned invisible, right before it got hidden under a cup. "This dirty little.. is trying to rob the only money i have gotten from Gavro." The imp stopped moving and Aleg chose a cup. Obviously the ball wasnt there. Aleg accused the imp of cheating and demanded his money back. "Kekeke, so what if I cheated, you were dumb enough to try and gamble" -"This...... smalll.... littlllllee... FUCKER!", Aleg angrily shouted at the end, " PAIN OF THE TORMENTED!" He was immidiately surrounded by the tormented souls and the ump only saw that horrific scene and tried to fly away as fast as possible screaming:" Please, dear Sir, let me live! Please, I will return the money!" -" TOO LATE. DEVOUR!" The souls ripped the imp within seconds to shreds and a big money pouch fell down from the sky landing in front of his feet. As he picked up the money pouch the black soul core disappeared and Aleg thought:" ahhhs, I gotta get that old geezer to teach me that special technique, It is not like he will use it, because of the immeasurable pain. As for me I assume I got turned in a demon, thus I will be able to fuse the core inside of me without any pain." The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Aleg counted the blagos in the pouch and his eyes widened , "5605 blagos!" "Jackpoooot! Time for some new fancy clothes.", Aleg happily yelled. He left the dark alley walking towards a clothes shop he saw and he bought black trousers with a silver dragon on the left side of the trousers and he bought a matching t shirt with a silver dragon on its back and a black scarf also inscirbed with the very said dragon. It cost him 1000 blagos, but it was worth every single blago. "I look epic. Best clothes shop i have been to in my life!" The clerk smiled and responded:" thanks for the purchase Sir, hopefully our clothes shop suits your tastes and visit us again." The scarf was bought for the 666 to hide, many of the lower classs demons do not know what it means, but the higher class ones sure do. Some of them might be keen on killing noble demons, just so they power up. Aleg walked down the street and be it male or female, everyone was looking at him and throwing either jealous gazes or imaginary thoughts on how they would undress the very said clothes. "Clothes maketh man.", he thought while smiling and strolling down the street. Through some unexpected left and eight turns he somehow arrived in the red light district. Annie''s looks and all the other females staring at him earlier kind of pent up the tension. The view he was seeing wasnt really stress relieving. Blue skinned demons with small horns and pointy tails walked around half naked, their private parts were only covered by some kind of fur. You also saw the elegant older ladies with big breasts and fangs. Combined with their very long hair and seducing look they must be most likely vampires. You also saw some cat demons in their humanoid form,only showing their tail and ears. Although they had a bored look on their face and just watched their nails. As he walked down the street, he got several offers from the ladies seducing him with locking in his arms, touching his breast, whispering in his ear. "Only 500 blagos for the whole night. Come on, Mister, I wanna play." One girl said. Another was like:"Let''s immerge in bloody pleasures, my dragon. I like it rough. For only 1600 blagos you can do all the perverted stuff you wanna fo, as well as sucking blood." Aleg tried to hold it in, trying to think about Annie. So far it worked great, but that view he saw now, basically made him jump out of his socks and made his heart throbbing. Just as white skin as Annie, even bigger breasts, blonde hair and eyes mesmerizing like the clear night sky with all its stars. A heart shaped tail. This woman is literally a sex bomb. "Heeeyy cutie, mind playing with Leila? I can smell your desires from since you entered this street", Leila said while licking her lip and making unavoidable eye contact. "Only 4000 blagos and no regrets." Aleg tried his hardest to refuse and somehow he managed to get out of her grasps, right before he was about to accept the offer. The alluring smell of the roses made his race pound even faster once she neared him. Leila was a succubus living from eating the life force of the male while the man reached his orgasm. She was really surprised that someone managed to withstand her charm, because the looks and smell of the succubus made every male falter. However she wouldnt let him go and right when Aleg turned away to leave, she grabbed his hand, turned him around and gave him a deep kiss for 3 seconds. Aleg was truly shocked, because such a kissss mhmmmmm, made almost the last defenses fall. He hurried back to his Inn trying to forget the ordeal about the whole night. Leila smiled and thought:" you have been marked and i hope you will fall fast asleep, hehe." What Aleg didnt notice once he went to sleep, was the kiss Leila had given him. It had marked the bottom of the tongue with a heart. Succubus can enter the dreams of the male only after they have been marked. Thus Leila flew behind Aleg and decided she wants to eat that cherryboy tonight. She had a feeling that he was a very strong demon. The lust he had displayed could even rival prince Asmodeus. Aleg''s dream suddenly stopped revolving about cakes and pizza and somehow that Leila had entered it. She even tried to seduce him in his dreams now! Aleg''s mental resistance was at the very maximum one could possibly get. After countless years of bullying and a complete breakdown, the resolve he had steeled once he set his mind to it was unbreakable. Nor Hell nor Heavens could budge him, if he didnt want to. Leila experienced this for the first time, that she was forcefully ejected from a dream and got all her power drained. With the last of her remaining strength she climbed into Aleg''s bed and laid beside him and went to sleep. Aleg didnt notice any of that and kept on dreaming about pizzas and cakes, being happy that the woman left his dream. The next morning had approached and Annie knocked on Aleg''s door to wake him up... Next Chapter Chapter 6: Succubus troubles Chapter 6: Succubus troubles Annie knocked already twice on that door and she couldnt hear any replies from the other side. " Hmmm, should I maybe check on him in his room and wake him up with a kiss, hihi.", fantasized Annie. She steeled her resolve and checked if the door was locked. Slowly turning around the door knob, it made a slight mechanical Click, indicating the door just opened. Through the small gap of the door she saw Aleg''s beautiful face, although the blankets looked really strange, as if Aleg doubled in size. She approached him on her toes and kneeled down to face his face with hers. Aleg was snorting and she thought:" soooo cute!" "Huh, did I just see a tail move? I didnt know Aleg had a tail!" "Whatever it is time to wake him up.", she said as she whispered into Aleg''s ears while stroking his face," time for breakfast, come on wake up." Aleg heard the sweet voice and with closed eyes he stretched his arms while pushing the blankets aside. "W-W-W-W-WHAAAAAT! WHO IS THAT WOMAN!", Annie screamed. Aleg''s silent morning time got destroyed by a screaming Annie, while her face went slowly purple. It took him a few moments to realize, what she was talking about. He saw the gorgeous body he had dreamt about, but he could have never imagined his dreams becoming true. Aleg suddenly blurted out the sentence that should never be spoken:" I swear Annie, I dont know how Leila landed in my bed!" -"SO YOU FUCKING KNOW HER NAME, WHO IS THAT BITCH??" The person in question obviously woke up from all those yells, but she decided the best course of action to listen and see how the situation turns out until Annie called her a bitch. -"IM NO BITCH, WHO ARE YOU ANYWAYS??? BREAKING INTO THE ROOM OF MY CHERRYBOY!" -"ALLLLEEEEGGGG!!! I DEMAND ANSWERS!", Annie angrily shouted, " WHY IS SHE CALLING YOU A CHERRYBOY!" Aleg was really perplexed by the whole situation, since he had no idea how that prostitute landed in his bed. Before he had time to think about it, Annie jumped over Aleg straight into his bed attacking Leila, who still was laying in his bed half naked. Annie pulled Leila''s blonde hairs with enormous force and so did she reply back. Aleg had two furious women in his bed pulling each others hair shouting and spitting at each other. Obviously the whole Inn had waken up and they all went with their pajamas to see what the hell that commotion is about. They werent dissatisfied once they saw the situation. The whole Inn was talking about Aleg''s situation. Rumors were spreading that his wife was as furious as Leviathan, once she saw someone cheat. Aleg went in between them and shouted:" TIME OUT!!!! BOTH OF YOU!!!!" The quarreling beauties held in and both stopped at the same time wondering what the Person, whom they were fighting over would say. Gavro also noticed the spectacle and closed the doors off now to give them more privacy. Aleg continued in a calm and collected, yet firm voice:" First of all Annie, you were trespassing into my room even though we know each other for only a day. Secondly you Leila, how the fuck did you figure out where I live and thirdly how did you break into my room!" Annie began apologizing with her puppy eyes:" I didnt wanna trespass into your room. I just wanted to wake you up like LOVERS do, but then I saw that WENCH laying in YOUR BED!" -"Shhhh, no offensive words now. You know about our situation, so you would also know that I feel attracted to you! Why would I be having another woman in my bed?", aleg stated. "I have had many married men.", answered Leila, literally putting oil into the fire. " YOU DIRTY LITTLE"----- Aleg silenced Annie. "Answer my questions now Leila." "Once I spotted you in the red light district and after that deep french kiss twirling with our tongues around. You literally made me fall for you.", Leila exaggeratedly explained. Annie''s face went purple then white:"R-r-red light district and FRENCH KISSS???", she started crying. "So you are fine with any whore you come across, I thought you think of me as a special person.", sobbed Annie holding her tears. "I AM NOT A WHORE OR A BITCH GET THAT IN YOUR FUCKING HEAD! IM A SUCCUBUS!", started Leila yelling. Then it dawned on Annie, since she heard about succubus from one of her borthel friends. They are women worse than the worst streethoookers with tons of sexual diseases. They literally consume and kill a man after engaging with them. So there was no possible way Aleg had cheated on her, because if it would have been true, then that succubus would have killed him already. "Get away from her Aleg! She is dangerous.", Annie commanded trying to protect her loved one, even though she was way weaker than Aleg himself, because of her womanly pride. Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. Aleg sighed from relief seeing the situation had calmed somewhat down and Annie finally believed him, that he did not cheat on her. "Who are you calling dangerous.... I am a sophisticated, sexy and elegant woman!", replied Leila while fixing her hair and her half torn dress. " You still owe me answers as to how you got into my room, Leila" asked her Aleg. "Well, you know... Once I asked you to... come with me so I could feast upon your life force and you refused. Nobody has ever refused me in my life time! It kind of got me attracted to you... because your presence felt like you would fuck anything and everything while walking down the red light district street. You were several times hornier than all the men visiting that place." Aleg sighed and reflected about the situation he was put in... " I had my first time.. Annie kept penting up the tension without me releasing it... as horny as I was I met different hookers and then at the end that sex bomb. Refusing them all.... No wonder I smelt like a horny dog in heat most likely..." Leila continued:" I thought you were the easiest prey in my life, but then the first refusal from my easiest prey... and once I entered your dream you even dejected me there, too! You popped two firsts for me in one night *sob*" Annie also reflected on her situation and knew how horny men felt all too good. Thus Aleg refusing all the offers would make her also very impressed, if she still had worked in that line of work. "I am sorry for judging you...", apologized Annie. -" I forgive you.. and im also sorry. The curiosity got the better of me. I was just interested in Aleg''s personality." Aleg was once again even more perplexed, somehow Leila and Annie were on the same wave length and it connected right after the apologies. "Must be something about horny men I bet...", he assumed. Aleg ignored both of them chit chatting on his bed and went to get breakfast. Gavro was already waiting and asked him:" did you get the problem solved?" -" Yupp, they had that aura of being best friends forever like a minute ago..." "You are quite popular, hohohoho, the whole Inn was talking about you, hohoho.", said Gavro with a wide smile. Aleg leaned over to Gavro and told him the situation with that imp gambler. "So you are asking me to teach you?", asked Gavro with a grim face. " That technique was basically the work of my life, but if you are willing to give me something equal I will agree.", said Gavro even grimmer. "What do you want?", asked Aleg while looking around cautiosly. "My own Land, nobility, immunity from other high class demons and servants, as well as an army." -"This is impossible..." exclaimed Aleg while leaning back. Gavro''s grim face turned into one of a laughing Santa Claus and back to a serious expression again asking:" Would the demands still be impossible, if you already knew that special technique?" "My power would definitely rise way faster, and with power there is nothing impossible to achieve." Gavro replied to him:" As expected of my master, he cares for his underlings.", Gavro affirmated to teach Aleg the special technique, " I expect you to repay me once you obtain the power required." The deal was sealed with a handshake and a pact was made that the side breaching the contract would be devoured by the Void. Aleg''s happiness was immeasurable right now, he finally had gottten that old geezer to teach him, which would make him stronger and the days of his revenge were still far away, however there was now the definite possibility of paying it back hundredfold. Gavro was as well satisfied, since he developed the Eyes of the Void for that very purpose, the only problem was he could not use it efficiently, thus he used Aleg as a Proxy sort of. "All is well, that ends well, hohohoho.", he thought. After the sealing handshake the voluptuos women Leila and Annie joined their table. Annie spoke:" In conclusion of our girl talk, we have decided, that it is okay for Leila to stick around, however she must not engage in sexual activities with you, Aleg!" Annie kind of felt guilty about accusing Leila a whore, since she knew how much those words could possibly hurt. As well as the shock that Leila had gotten after that refusal. No wonder Leila was keen on getting to know Aleg, she would have felt the same, if she would have ever had come across such a man. Next Chapter Chapter 7: New Resolve Chapter 7: New Resolve The group of four with a new addition, Leila, exited the Inn before the keen looking customers approached them and questioning about the happening of this morning. Aleg felt the most troubled, the hardship he had endured this early were a bit too much for him. The clinginess of Annie was destroying the attraction towards her, he felt in the beginning. It''s not like they were a couple or anything, thus there was no reason for Annie to act this jealous. The only problem he imagined could be, was a previous experience Annie had, before she entered the Hell realm. Nonetheless there was no reason to be bothered by it, since all he had to do, was to show Annie who the Boss was. "Macho gone be conquering the world.", he inwardly thought. "What was laying on my tongue the whole time was, where did you get those awesome black clothes with a silver dragon inscribed on them?", asked Gavro wondering. "Remember when I robbed that imp, well he gave me enough money to afford the fanciest clothes in the shop.", replied Aleg. "I must admit it looks good on you.", said Annie and Leila in unison. "Thanks, anyway we should be getting some potions of the imps while we are at it." answered Aleg. Thus " Team Aleg " moved to the merchant''s street and started buying the goods out. Lots of stamina and flying potions were bought, just in case some unpredictable events would happen all of a sudden. Being prepared is always the best way to start a long journey towards the City of Makolar. " Safety''s the number one priority!", babbled Aleg proudly. While the others were busy checking out all the other merchant''s good Aleg approached the goblin, who had offered him that very rare amulet. However he still couldn''t afford to buy that amulet, he still had to check out all the wares he had to offer. One item was actually peeking his interest, The amulet of fury, doubled his wrath he felt, once he wore it. The only problem was, if he got annoyed and felt slightly irritated he could actually start raging if he tried to suppress the anger. Basically speaking, the emotional stability wasn''t warranted while wearing the amulet of fury. " It''s way to rare to not buy it and the price is kind of fair for only 4000 blagos, there''s nothing to complaing about, since the power spike of the Pain of the Tormented would be doubled. Alright, I''ll buy it.", Aleg decided and agreed to buy it off the goblin. "My lord, have a bloody day and thanks for the purchase!", said the goblin merchant smiling. The others finished taking a look at all the other goods, but most of the stuff being offered was pretty useless. Apart from Leila buying some sapphire-like looking earrings, the others didn''t buy anything. Right before they were about to exit the city a blue-skinned demon approached them and warned them about the dangers ahead. Most likely the only reason he warned them, was because of the human souls Gavro and Annie, who decided to tag along. Leaving Petoskrim was a 99% chance of the human souls not to survive. "Are you sure you wanna tag along with us Annie, it will be very dangerous?", asked her Aleg. -" Yes, I am sure. I decided to follow you even if you decide to go to the ends of Hell." "It was kind of cute, however sometimes the obsessive behaviour she showed on a few occasions were a little turn off.", thought Aleg continuing, " whatever, if she doesn''t let me do her I can always have that succubus. Maaaan she''s just way too hot to resist her. I don''t think I will manage those two weeks without sneaking into her bed, just to see Leila''s reaction." Since they all made up their mind to tag along with Aleg, they exited the city bearing the warnings of the guard in mind. They didn''t walk far away from the city, since Aleg had to learn that technique. "Here should be far enough.", mentioned Gavro, while walking off the stone path that connected one city to another. They followed Gavro into the woods, where he set up the newly bought tent. Leila was kind enough to put protection magic around the tent just to make sure no wood demons or the like would attack them. Nobody was keen on a full scale attack from Treants. Treants were Tree demons, who attacked intruders stepping into their territory. Once everything was prepared, Hell''s sky turned from a blood red color into the cloak of nothingness. While Aleg and the women watched the sky change his colours , Gavro started talking:" The sky colour changes from a red shine to a black one, similar like the sky on earth. However it has nothing to do with the sun. The colour change indicates the periodic cycle of the purgatory, where the raging flames set the sinners ablaze and afterwards the time of regret turns the sky black. This cyrcle repeats itself every 12 hours. Bear in mind though, there is no purgatory for people coming directly to hell. Only people, who have sinned and want to go to Heaven, have to do this procedure. Basically the sky you see up there belongs to God, the ruler of Heavens. He couldn''t have such a terrific sight in Heavens, so what did he obviously do? He fucking put his purgatory right above the border of Hell."

All turned to Aleg, unused to his sudden outburst and they asked him if something was wrong. Annie was kind of scared, but Leila actually got turned on by that behavior thinking:" Mmhmmm , that''s ''s how a real man should behave." She imagined how, she would push him onto her bed, while enjoying the worldly pleasures her race loved to practice. Unfortunately she promised Annie not to lay a finger on Aleg, but then again... Have you ever seen a demon keep his promise? "It is time, master..", Gavro spoke in the tent, looking more like a small house. Gavro and Aleg were about to leave the tent and then Aleg was once stopped by Annie''s clinginess. "Where are you going this late at night, you should stay indoors and wait for Leila and I to prepare dinner." said Annie while rushing forward to grab Aleg''s hand. The amulet of fury once reacted with Aleg trying to suppress his emotions. He shouted:" SHUT UP WOMAN! WHO ARE YOU TO COMMAND ME AROUND!" and he slapped Annie across her left cheek. Thus they left the shocked Annie on the floor, that had been holding her cheek with both hands trying to comprehend the situation, stamping out of the tent. "Indeed a good choice master, hohohoho, sometimes you have to show the women, who actually wears the pants, hohohoho." Aleg was still a bit concerned about hitting Annie, however she had it coming. She has been acting like her lover or something, even though they only meet like a day ago and the reason she said he could fuck her was because of the reward for saving her. There were no obligations from his side, since all he did was accept the reward he had been offered. He did not ask for any responsibilities from his side nor the clinginess from her side. Leila watched the whole thing and smiled inwardly:" If this isn''t the chance for me to grab Aleg, then I will eat cockroaches for the rest of my life." Her racial desire flamed up and she couldn''t wait to devour this tiny little Demon, who withstood her attacks by coincidence.", she thought. Afterwards she approached Annie and tried to soothe her pain, talking:" Don''t worry dear, he''s only a little bit agitated, because of all the clinginess." Then it hit Annie like a thunder, what actually had happened.." I am such a stupid woman... The reason I felt so attracted towards him was because he had saved my life and the gentle time I spent with him, was even more magical. He took care of me like it was nothing, but now that I think of it he didn''t have to pay the entry fee for the city. The guard greeted him with a nobleman''s title and his clothes were all bloody. Maybe he''s an even more important existence in hell than I thought. This must be it... and obviously my whole clinginess irritated him.. who knows how many girls he has... Sigh... Here I fell in love for the first time with a high-ranking demon and I could''ve actually invoked his wrath. I won''t give up! However I need a different approach!" Thus Annie''s new womanly resolve was formed, to become an existence in Aleg''s eyes worth fighting over. She sorted out all the things she had to do in her mind:" Firstly, conquer his stomach, secondly stop being clingy and thirdly accept other women he could possibly already have. Hell, maybe he''s even married to a demoness...!" Next Chapter Chapter 8: Eyes of the Void Author''s note: Hello lurkers and users, I want to thank you all for sticking 10 chapters with my fan fic (it is 10 chapters if you include the 2 prologue chapters). I would appreciate any form of feedback, be it either in the comments section or as a private message. I know there are some typos, but I am looking more for a feedback of: are the chapters long enough... how is the plot pace... do the characters develop or are they too shallow.. Thannks again and here is the 8th chapter. Chapter 8: Eyes of the Void Aleg and Gavro walked out of the tent, leaving the two women to themselves. They reahed the magical protection circle and stepped over it. You could suddenly hear the hooting owl demons and howling wolves. Also sometimes a yellow glowing pair of eyes was to be seen and then disappeared. Gavro turned towards Aleg and started to explain, how the technique would work:" The special technique I am going to teach you now is called Eyes of the Void. The basic principle behind it is to create a Void in your soul, which is similar to a black hole. Only the exposed soul cores get pulled in though. Here is the tricky part how do you create a void space in your soul and why is it being absorbed through the eyes. The last part is easy to answer since the eyes are the windows to the soul. For example when you stare deeply into someone''s eyes you can tell what the person is sometimes thinking, feeling or when the person is lying. Thus when the Eyes of the Void are activated your whole eyes turn pitchblack, like the broken windows of an abandoned dark house." -" Am I still able to see through my eyes, if they are pitchblack?", Aleg asked. "Yes, your eyes will function normally, but all your emotions disappear, when the technique is activated." -" That means I can use that technique for other means, than absorbing souls?" " Theoretically speaking, yes. If you have to do something that makes you feel very uncomfortable or if you can not endure it, then you can activate it to protect yourself from any emotions and any emotional harm. Basically, you turn into a human, that only follows his rational thoughts.", explained Gavro ," now to answer the question on how to create the void space in your soul. All you have to do is kind of combine the fiery thoughts with the icy ones in your mind like, the wrath you feel with the Pain of the Tormented combined with the feelings you had while being opressed by your older brother Arnold. Another approach that might help you is revenge is the best, when served cold." Aleg studied all the words the Old man had said one by one trying to comprehend the bigger meaning behind of it and he decided to try it out, however nothing happened. After doing this for two hours and killing some passing wolf demons and bats, he still couldnt absorb the soul cores. " I can not seem to balance the feelings I have, the wrath I currently feel when rthinking about some things is just way stronger than the clculative approach. Basically what I want to say I rather murder out of rage, than plan my murder ice cold up to the very small detail." It suddenly dawned what might have caused the instability, Aleg exclaimed:" The amulet of fury was messing up my emotions!" Gavro wondered what it was all about, but he decided to keep his mouth shut, since the technique required complete conttol about one''s emotions. He only observed how Aleg took an amulet off and started concentrating. Aleg deeply moved into himself:" He slowly touched the wrath''s power inside of his mind. All the rage he had felt being bullied for years, all the oppression and in the end the wrong acccusations. God who actually signed his death by letting the King Vlad, his father, live. All those feelings almost made him impulsively shout out of anger, but then he started thinking about the ice cold revenge he could serve. He could obliterate Hell and Heavens, destroying the Slavon Kingdom and as the Ruler of all inflict eternal pain to his family in the after life. That thought made him shudder, since he had to prolong his revenge for ages, but once he gets his revenge it will last an eternity." It made "Click" in Aleg''s mind. Aleg continued thinking:" I came to a conclusion. It does not matter how I get my revenge be it through a hotblooded massacre or an ice cold plan, the only thing that counts was to get his revenge." Aleg was finally enlightened and his eyes turned pitchblack. Eyes darker than a black hole, the windows to his soul were shattered and you could feel being sucked in those eyes, if you stared for too long. Like an omnipotent being, that stole all your memories, life force and sanity. The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Gavro started screaming like a madman, as the knowledge about the Eyes of the Void was sucked into the pitchblack eyes of Aleg. The Eyes of the Void ripped a part of Gavro''s soul core away. Finally Aleg''s eyes turned back to normal after he had absorbed the knowledge from Gavro. "Ugggh, this hurt more than expected, and there goes the technique I had developed for 30 years.", mumbled Gavro while coughing. -" Thank you Gavro, I will keep my part of the pact, too. I promise to get as strong as possible to grant your desires.", answered Aleg. "Stop talking about the future and check if fusing your core with other demons hurts you!", ordered the old man. Alrg was keen on trying his new ability out nd check if it gave the promising power up, that he needed. Unfortznately they have been walking around the forest for five minutes, but nobody dared to approach Aleg, but then he heard a small bat fly around. "Pain of the Tormented!!" The bat was like a paper airplane in the rain. It melted down until only the core was visible. "Eyes of the Void!" The black mist that had been formed after killing the bat was sucked into Aleg''s eyes as fast as a lightning hitting a tree. "Hmmmmmm, strange.... I do not feel any stronger at all, the only thing I notice is I am less hungry than I was before...", stated Aleg. Gavro hurriedly asked:" But did it hurt?????" -" No it didnt, but it didnt make me str-" "IT WORKKKKKKSS!", he screamed like a crazy old fool. -" As already said, it didnt make me stronger..." Gavro replied:" Of course it wont make you any stronger you dimwit! Even if you killed fifty million bats mindlessly, there is nothing to learn from such a weak opponent. You only get stronger through defeating equally strong or stronger opponents. Only then it is worth to absorb the soul, the weaker soul cores just serve to still your hunger!" -" That explains it, I guess.... That means time to find stronger demons..." "No hurrries, you know the tehnique now, and it is like 1 in the morning, plus I am tired from having a part of my soul core forcibly ripped away. I have to rest now.", said Gavro while starting to walk back direction tent. Aleg agreed and started walking back with Gavro:" It is not like I will get my revenge tomorrow. Small steps one by one make you reach the goal. Take big steps and you fall down, never being able to stand up again." They reached the tent and a beautiful scent was flying in the air. " mhmmmmmm, this smells like stew!", stated Aleg and Gavro simultanously. They rushed into the tent seeing two beautiful maidens waiting for their husbands to arrive back to eat their cooked food. Obviously they were not married and none of the maidens paid any attention to Gavro. The only thing that counts is the imaginary thought. Heartily they ate the whole stew until the pot was empty and Aleg declared it to be the best stew he had eaten in his whole life. Annie thought:" Yes! Step one of my plan is progressing as expected." Leila answered Aleg:" Thanks dear, I cooked this stew with all my love to you while Annie prepared the ingredients." It was actually the other way around, but all that Annie did was squint her eyes looking at Leila maliciously. She didnt dare to make another scene in front of Aleg, because she knew too well about the irritated state of Aleg caused by her clinginess and jealousy. "Tonight I will let it slide, Leila, but be prepared tomorrow. Mwahahahagaha!", thought Annie. A woman''s jealousy truly is a frightening feeling. After finishing their dinner they all went to sleep in separated areas of the tent. It was like a small room for everyone of them and walls being thin leather. Leila obviously noticed that Annie let her slide that small lie and even though she promised Annie to not lay a finger on Aleg, the seduction was just way bigger. " She let that lie slide, that can only mean this is the most advantageous night for me, since she wouldnt dare to make a scene in front of Aleg again. Not so soon after he had scolded her.", assumed Leila, while changing into a sexy black night gown with frills, that showed her bare breasts," I am prepared for you Aleg, time to have my way with you." Leila sneaked into the room of the half awake Aleg. Next Chapter Chapter 9: Sweet Fragrance of Death Author''s note: I am sorry for the delayed release. I wanted to write this chapter this afternoon, however I got held up in the cafe shop I usually go to. And right after my training abducted me my chinese friend William to play pool with him. Thus without any further ado, here is chapter 9. Chapter 9: Sweet Fragrance Of Death "Hmmmm, what the fuck is going on, who is entering my room right when I was about to fall asleep.", wondered Aleg as Leila slowly walked towards his sleeping bag. She tried to not wake him up, but what she did not know was that Aleg was already fully awake, because of the suddion intrusion of his privacy. "Annie, go back to your room and go to sleep I am not in the mood." Mumbled Aleg through his sleeping bag closing it fully. He couldn''t see that it was Leila, since he had his back turned towards the door. -" What if it isn''t Annie?", whispered a lustful voice, that could only belong to one single person he knew. "Leila?!", said Aleg astonished. -" The one and only, hotter than fire and lustgul as Asmodeus. Are you prepared for a sleepless night?", she asked him while the strap of her left side of the nightgown slided down her shoulders and her right index finger touched the bottom corner of her lips. "Please, not now I had a horrible morning, because of you two, then. I haf to walk through the whole town buying all sort of stuff and at the end it turns out the most expensive thing I had bought turns out to be useless, because of my newly learnt ability. I am really not in the mood!", he exclaimed. "Oh really...?", whispered Leila with her lustful voice. She was already on her knees approaching the sleeping bag. "Time to turn arounnnnd Aleeeg.", said Leila, slowly pulling that sleeping bag open and turning it around, so that Aleg would face her. Aleg noticed his sleeping bag to be turned around and the zipper was slowly moving down. He could barely make out something in the dark, however the wild imagination he experienced with Leila''s lustful voice was more than enough to fuel him up. Somehow the brand at the bottom of his tongue was like a curse. He could feel his tongue throb harder and it was as if he fell in a trance once he met with Leila''s eyes. "Hehe, the curse is working as expected, even though he withstood my first attack, there is no way he will withstand the second one, after the brand was there for 24 hours.", thought Leila while faking a mesmerizing smile. The brand on Aleg''s tongue is also known as the succubus kiss. It marks the target and if the succubus doesn''t devour the man''s life force, it keeps raising the affection towards the succubus exponentially. It is like the feeling you have when you are thirsty. The thirst for the succubus can not be stilled until you taste the worldly meat with your own body. Aleg could not resist anymore, all the tension that had been pent up, wanted to be released. Another factor was the incredibly smelling Leila. " She looks a thousand times more beautiful, than when we had dinner together." Like a puppet moved his hands towards Leila, slowly taking off her night gown. The wonderful hills and valley were clearly visible for Aleg after getting used to the darkness. Leila gently embraced him while whispering in his ear:" I want you inside me." Aleg''s manhood was throbbing like a volcano. Once he put it in inside of her, he heard a soft moan, combined with the wetness and hotness. It felt like entering heaven for the second time. Rythmic moves were executed sometimes faster sometimes slower. It was like the ebb and flow, a neverending cycle, that was sometimes building up violent waves or gentle and slow ones. "Mhmmmmm, he is not bad, but when will he reach his orgasm, I wanna eat him.", wondered Leila. The rythmic moves started getting more and more violent, once Aleg approached his climax. Suddenly with the sudden urge of coming, made Aleg fall out of his trance. The more he thruat nd the more it felt like releasing it, the more control he had gained over his body. While thrusting Leila from behind, he noticed once he looked down onto his dick, black mist leaving his body and entering Leila. If this keeps going on, he would shoot his soul core straight into Leila''s womb. "Obviously, that was your plan all along!", screamed Aleg in his mind, " I will make you regret for trying to devour me!" If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Leila felt Aleg was about to come in like five seconds, but then suddenly, Aleg grabbed her neck and started strangulating with sheer force. "I will make you regret!", came out of Aleg''s mouth with his teeth clenched. She couldnt break free from his strong hands and the ghosts she saw right now, made her scared for her life. They were howling around and flying all over the room. The lack of oxygen, the ghosts and the thrusting made Leila''s mind go crazy. Almost the next instant, rushed a ghost through her body and she felt her existence being crippled. It didnt stop with the first ghost, after the first one rushed through, started all the others to enter and exit her body until one of them held her soulcore in his mouth. She heard from behind:" Eyes of the Void." The soul core of Leila had been absorbed by Aleg and with his emotionless state, he obviously had to finish what he had started. He shot his semen right into the womb of the twitching corpse. As he turned off his Eyes of the Void, he saw the soulless corpse still twitching a bit and leaking his semen from her private parts. "I must say this succubus almost had me, but luckily my willpower was able to bring me back to my senses. most likely the arousal I felt before coming weakened the curse she had put on me." Thought Aleg, who was observing the corpse in front of him, which he fucked moments ago doggystyle. Aleg sighed:" Leila, you should have just behaved."... but this is no tale of a knight saving the Princess from the clutches of the dragon. This is Hell''s realm, where twisted demons bend you over as soon as they see a profit in it. Aleg didnt regret a single second he had spent with her and enjoyed every single second with her even after Leila''s last breath. He grabbed the corpse by her arms and started moving it out of his room, putting her next to the table, where they had dined. He covered her with a blanket and went back to sleep thinking:" Devour or be devoured..." The next morning had come and Annie was still laying in her sleeping bag. Obviously she heard the lustful moans coming out of Aleg''s room, but she decided to allow Leila have her fun due to the shock she had received the last evening. Heartbroken turned Annie from one side to another while pondering:" Why does it hurt so much once I heard those moans. And he even fucked her into unconsciousness." She had heard how Aleg dragged Leila out of his room, once the final moan dispersed into the endless night. Annie accidentally said out loud" I wish he had fucked me this hard...", however nobody had heard it, expect herself. It was enough for her to turn her face in a red beetle. Then she heard Aleg''s voice calling for her and Gavro."Stop behaving like a virgin and get dressed", talked Annie to herself," your cheating beloved demon is calling you *sigh*." Even though he had fucker another woman, she couldnt bring it over her heart to hate Aleg, somehow it gave her the urge to bind Aleg even closer to her. Aleg was the first to enter the room with the dining table and the covered corpse. He left the corpse there, so he could ask Gavro as to why the corpse didnt leave only black mist behind. "Most likely he would know the answer. He basically pressed out all kinds of information from that poor demon Hievil, maybe we might meet him in Makolar.", assumed Aleg. Another reason was to instill fear in Annie, so she knows what awaits her, if she ever decides to take advantage of him. Thus he shouted:"Gavroooo, Annniiieee, wake up!" Gavro woke up once he heard Aleg shouting." What the hell is that mad man up to this early. Robbing me of my sleep during the night while fucking Annie and now this...", gruntled the old man. "Whatever let''s not make him wait, since I put my trust into him and as a loyal servant soon to be rewarded, I might get even more than I wished, if I serve him welll, hohhohoho.", thought Gavro not hiding his greedy smile in his own room. Aleg waited for a while and by pure coincidence both stepped out of their room simultanously approaching Aleg, who was standing next to a big unidentified thing, covered in blankets. Next chapter Chapter 10: The Owl Man? Chapter 10: The Owl Man? They came closer to Aleg and Gavro decided to break the silence, which mostly came from Aleg''s serious expression:" So, mind telling us, what is underneath those blankets, and I don''t think it is a golden decorated chest full of blagos and netherworldly treasures, hohohoho." Annie wasnt really interested in what was below those blankets, the only thing she could focus on now was the seducing woman called Leila. "Where is Leila, I have to talk with her?", she asked. Aleg replied to both their questions:" The answers to your question actually complement each other questions. Meaning what is where and where is what, is actually one and the same thing. Leila is under the blankets and the blankets cover Leila." Annie was literally mind blown:" WHAAAT???! Can you repeat that again? I don''t think I understood what you just said.." "As already said-" Gavro interrupted Aleg:" So it really isn''t a chest full of treasures and blagos?" Aleg was dumbfound and decided to ignore both of them and just pulled the blankets away. Then it hit him like a thunderstorm:" Fuck.. I forgot Leila was still naked..." The view Gavro and Annie just saw was definitely not for the light hearted. Leila looked like a broken doll. Her legs were spread leaking some white stuff out of her valleys. The eyes were lifeless and the tongue was hanging from one side of the lips . The blonde hair obviously wasnt combed and her breasts as well as the neck still had Aleg''s finger marks from squeezing them too hard. "Hohoho, did you squeeze her juices out?", joked the old geezer. Annie''s jealousy couldnt be contained any longer and the rage she felt urged up:" SO YOU FUCKED HIM, EVEN THOUGH U HAD PROMISED..!!" She rushed to the long dead corpse and tried to mutilate Leila even further. She got stopped by Aleg and Gavro holding both one of her arms before she could lay a single finger on Leila and start her beginning of ravaging the dead. She screamed:" LEETTT ME GO, I HAVE TO TEACH THAT BITCH A LESSON!", while spitting in Leila''s half open mouth, " TAKE THIS BITCH *SPIT*" They were holding her as hard as possible and after a feww minutes, it seemed that she had cooled down. "Okay, let me go, I calmed down.", stated Annie. They believed her and let her arms go. Slowly, just to make sure, she wouldnt rush the corpse. As they finally released Annie, the ravaging corpse mode was back on again. Before Gavro or Aleg could react, she had kicked the dead Leila into her semen leaking valley. One unexpected thing happend then, while Aleg and Gavro had their mouths wide open from the sudden kick, a part of the kick made a small drop of the white stuff fly astray. *bletchhh* It hit Gavro on his right cheek. The lastly mentioned person was profoundly struck with a million different electrical shocks in his mind:"Sh.. sh.. ot? Ho.. ho... ho.. sho.. hot.. shot??" The man with the white beard and cream moved his mouth like the letter "O" pronouncing the word shot repeatedly while having a dumbstruck expression and his eyes completely wide open. Aleg facepalmed at the situation and remarked:" Now the only sane person apart from me has lost it..." "Shohohohooohoottt??", asked Gavro while tilting his head a bit to the right. He literally looked like a dumb owl questioning the letters of a word. "I swear Aleg, I didnt mean that to happen! Please dont punish me for making him go insane..!", begged Annie. "I will try something, be quiet and stand where you were before we released you.", ordered Aleg. She obediently followed Aleg''s orders watching him activate the Eyes of the Void. " It actually might work out, I have the feeling that absorbing Leila''s soul core improved my ability of the Eye of the Void", thought Aleg. As he focused on trying to enter Gavro''s brain, he somehow managed to enter his mind. He saw old men jumping up and down, crying laughing and hooting like owls. His mind was a complete mess. "Time to get rid of that unpleasant memory. It is kind of unpleasant for me as well. Since something from my body landed on an old geezer..." Aleg activated the eyes of the void concentrating on one special memory and somehow it got sucked into Aleg''s eyes. Once he left Gavro''s mind, he was back to normal. Gavro spoke in understandable sentences again:"finally, you have calmed down. Ravaging corpses wouldnt suit a young lady like you." This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. Annie replied with a questioning smile and once she looked to Aleg holding his index finger vertically on his lips, she knew it had to be kept a secret. "I have no idea what he did, but it looks like it worked. I will have to thank Aleg for rescuing me from this awkward position... I wouldnt be able to live on with having tainted a pure soul with demon sperm, that made the very said soul go crazy...", she decided in her mind to keep it as an eternal secret. Gavro yet again spoke:" Why didnt you die Aleg? From looking at her valley, I noticed you had reached the orgasm. The succubus should have devoured you by then." Aleg averted his eyes, since he was kind of ashamed for what he did, but the Eyes killed off all emotions and the only reasonable thing he felt in that state was to finish it off. Aleg replied:" I was about to come, but before it happened I noticed her devouring me. Before anything worse could happen , I devoured her and afterwards finished it off.." "You a necrophilian?", asked Gavro with his eyes lighting up," it is alright Aleg, everyone has different tastes. I prefer pure beings." He dwellged in memories about his past with his animal experiments and the sudden male urge... Aleg didnt bother to answer the question, instead he decided to ask him something too:" Usually when I used the Pain of the Tormented on a living soul, it made the whole spiritual body disappear leaving the soul core behind. Although Leila''s case is different, since her spiritual body remained." -" The spiritual body only disappears if the soul core is necessary to bind all the strength and powers of a soul. Meaning only low ranked demons fully disappear. Demons with higher strength usually leave their body behind, because the body still can exist, even though the soul core that moved the whole body no longer resided in it.", answered Gavro, " Most likely you have powered up from devouring her soul.. Did you notice any changes?" Aleg lied:" Not really.. Maybe it will show itself later.." thinking:" Man, because of that new ability I freaking saved your ass. But i dont want to take the risk to tell him I can enter someone''s mind, because he might revert back to his owl form." "Whatever, time to move on I guess, hohohho. Get it move on??? Hohohoho." Aleg and Annie once again didnt bother to respond to this dillusional character. While Gavro stored the tent away, Annie and Aleg had moved to a more secluded place digging a hole for Leila. "It wasnt appropritiate to kick that spot, Annie.", he mentioned -" Neither for you to thrust that spot.", she replied. "Not like we are married or anything..", he sighed -"I know we are nothing of the like, but I wish to be an important existence for you!", she stated clearly. "Remember this, the most important existence for me is, I, Myself and Me, and the path I have chosen. Anyone hindering me will be eliminated. You can either follow my path or stand in my way, but be wary standing in my way wont be good for your health.", he coldly said. Annie was shaken, by all the words he said, however she also remembered, that she literally knew nothing about his past. Silently they kept digging and once the hole was deep enough, Aleg had put Leila in there. As Annie threw a spadeful of dirt onto the corpse''s face she turned to him and declared:" I wont follow your path Aleg. I will walk alongside of you." He observed her quietly and decided to leave her be ...thinking and smirking:" She is kind of annoying, but it is adorable sometimes." They finished burying Leila and he gave some farewell words to the grave in his mind:" I will never forget that great time I had with you, you were truly a demon worth fighting over, if it wouldnt have been for the condition of fucking you once and then dying." Annie looked back and asked Aleg what he was reminisinscing about and he replied with a dry nothing, while moving towards her. Gavro had finished up packing all the things in a bag, that was magically enhanced to store more stuff without raising the weight od it. After an eventful night was the trio back on its track to the major capital of middle ranking demons, Makolar, but with a person less. Next Chapter Chapter 11: Damsels in Distress Chapter 11: Damsels in Distress The trio was back on the stony path, that lead them towards the grand Major capital Makolar. They walked without a care in the world, chatting and laughing not noticing a gleam of yellow eyes had been following them. "This stony path is really convenient to walk on, I am wondering, who had built it, as well why there is no demons trying to ambush us.", mentioned Annie. -"Hohoho, that is easy to answer, because Aleg''s aura is kind of intimidating. Who would want to approach a demon, cladded in black clothes. His presence gave off a feeling of nobility and the expensive clothes further enhanced that presence.", Gavro replied. "Enough both of you, I think we are being followed." The yellow eyes hurriedly disappeared from the bushes it was glancing at that party, but not soon after the trio had droped their guard, the creature approached them once again with its yellow eyes. Aleg again felt that ominous presence and it bothered him a lot. He didnt feel comfortable, because he knew something is watching them from somewhere, however he couldnt spot the enemy. *husshhhh husshh* It rattled in the bushes as the creature fled again from Aleg''s perception. "I am completely sure that something is following us, did you notice the sudden movements in the bushes?", he asked Annie and Gavro. -"Now that you mention it, I kind of felt being observed and those suspiciously moving bushes made me feel even more agitated.", replied Gavro. "Nothing to worry about guys, maybe it is a cutr little demon wanting to play hide and seek with us.", nonchalantly said Annie. They continued their walk for another thirty minutes until Aleg couldnt bear to standt the fact, that he was being observed from someone hiding in the shadows. He shouted:" Come out, wherever you are and I promise to spare your life, if you state your business." The creature was terrified, because it knew that its presence had been detected and it decided to flee. The rash movements of the creature were what Aleg was waiting for. He spotted the sudden movements in the bushes, once again, but this time he was prepared to run after it. He started chasing the scared creature. After a few meters, he noticed a blue blurr running around like a chased bunny, but with a gigantic leap he had caught the creature by its feet. Aleg panted and pulled the feet, so the body would show itself from the bushes. It was a blue skinned demon. He had seen those demons in the red light district, but as it looks like, the one, he had just caught, was a child. "Who are you?", Aleg asked," and why are you following us?" The child trembled by the sudden interrogation and its heart also pounded like crazy from being caught and uncertain of its future fate. It replied with a scared voice:" I am Mila from the Blue Oni tribe." -" Okay Mila, dont be afraid, if you tell us why you were following us, then nothing will happen.", he said in a calm voice while looking at her eyes. Mila was even more intimidated and she started shaking while answering Aleg''s question:" I, I, I.. am actually looking for strong fighters and once I saw you, I couldnt help myself to follow you and strike up a converstion. Every time I got near you, I just got extremely scared and panickingly ran away." "Cuuuute, such a cuuute scaredycat Oni!", exclaimed Annie. Before she could hug and cuddle mila, Aleg had stopped her nd told her to hold her horses:" Wait, until I am done with posing the questions." "Why would you need strong warriors?", he asked. -" My clan has been caught by the red Oni tribe. Since a while ago, we have been on bad terms with the red oni, but during a territorial dispute the things had taken a turn for the worse. The red Oni launched a surprise attack during the night and I was the only one, who managed to flee." Aleg deeply watched into her eyes, trying to figure out, if she told the truth:" As I see you are telling me no fairy tales, but I am not interested in solving your clan''s disputes on my behalf. Aleg stoodup and before he could walk away, Annie had begged him to help her:" Look how cute she is!", she said while cuddling and hugging Mila with her big eyes on the verge of tears, because of the refusal, " Aleg you definitely have to help that blue Oni tribe." -" It is too bothersome and nothing is to be gained from helping them." Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. Mila replied in a low voice holding her tears:" If you help us the village elders definitely will repay you with their greatest treasure they possess." -" Little Mila.., everything you posses belongs to the red Oni tribe and I have no intention of meddling in your affairs." This broke the dam, which was holding mila''s tears in anf without being able to endure it any further she started crying out of her soul, thinking about the sealed fate of all her family and tribe members. " Hohohoho, indeed a true devil refusing a request from such a cute child.", remarked Gavro. Aleg noticed the support from Gavro and declared:" Good since we have come to a conclusion, we are going back to the stony path and continue travelling towards the city Makolar. They both turned their backs leaving Mila behind, expecting Annie to tag along with him. A voice from bbehind was clearly heard:" If you are not helping her, then sure I will." Aleg frowned and told Annie to come to her senses:" What can you possibly do against a hoard of red Oni. Just leave them be. The strong are meant to survive." She exclamated a loud hmppf and spoke:" You go to the city of Ma fucking kolar. Me and Mila will help each other out. Since the weak care for each other." Annie took Mila by her hands and asked her to lead the way to her tribe village, that had been raided:" We might find some unexpected clues, whih could help us in saving your family." "Yes, please follow me!", happily sniffed Mila. Aleg was frowning even more and was purely dumbstruck thinking:" This foolish woman for all I care she can commit suicide." Gavro followed Aleg while he stamped through the forest back to the stony path. Annie couldnt help herself to find a possible way to save Mila''s tribe. She started to dwelge in painful memories..:" I was only 12years old, when our village had been raided, by the enemies'' soldiers. They burned the whole village down and took all my family members as slaves. I was the only one whovmanaged to flee, but as a 12y ear old girl, nobody wanted to employ me... So before I let that cute Mila, advance any further down the path I had experienced. I will rather help her and get ourselves killed, than see Mila selling her body off in a city." "Graaarghghghghg! This woman!", shouted Aleg, " Fuck that woman and her idiotic thoughts! I am not letting the first life I had saved go to waste!" He turned back and started going back towards Annie. "Master, where are you going??", asked The old man. -" Saving some bitches.. Once again... And eradicating some Onis! Be it purple, blue, black, red or yellow! Whatever!", angrily replied Aleg. He thought while boiling inside:" Annie, I swear, if you hadnt been my first, then I would have killed you ages ago!" He came back to the place, where he had caught Mila, but they werent there anymore. "Guess they left, already..", he told Gavro. Gavro offered his help in tracking them, since all the experiences he accumulated from chasing wild animals, didnt go to waste through all those years :" Hohohoho, let''s hunt some beautiful damsels in distress." Aleg frowned at that damsel remark, which put him in an even bigger foul mood. "Why the hell am I even doing this... Better have a female accompany me, than being alone with a necrophilian animal fucker...", thought Aleg while agreeing to his thoughts with a deep sigh. He was kind of bound to gavro, because of the pact he had to held intact and Annie was definitely a personality, that made him bear the fact of having a crazy old man accompany them. He couldnt imagine, how it might turn out walking alone with this crazy old man. There is even a high probavility of turning just as crazy as him. Annie still felt a bit sad, that Aleg didnt help her, but she couldnt possibly let a girl walk down the path of an exiled prostitute. Even though she loved him immeasurably. If he didnt want to help a smal child, then he must have his reasons, however those reasons also made it impossible to walk along his side. "Where the hell is that damn woman..!", exclaimed Aleg annoyed, who followed Gavro as he was licking a tree stump and sniffing the ground."Maan this old geezer is even more nuts, than I gave him credit for..", thought Aleg. Next Chapter Chapter 12: The Oni Village Chapter 12: The Oni Village "Wow, this city looks ravaged!", exclaimed Annie, as soon as she and Mila had reached the location of the blue Oni tribe village. Black wooden tree parts were all across the ground. Most of those broken wood pieces were once planks belonging to the shattered wood houses. Some small fires were still burning, indicating, that the village has been recently raided. Annie couldnt see any corpses, which either meant they were not strong enough to leave a spiritual body or all of them were caught and enslaved. Mila:" The red oni tribe village is like ten kilometers away from us. It lies in the direction of the Deep Forest. Oh yeah, in the Deep Forest are mostly secluded ancient demon tribes, who avoid the contact with the civilsed cities. The reason for not going into the bigger cities is most likely due to the secretive ways in their hidden abilities. I heard from my grandpa, that there are vicious serpent heads, who may hypnotize any target, they come across." "Does that mean your tribe and the red one have special avilities, too?", asked Annie. "The blue and red oni are only known for their strength, we dont have any particular special abilities.", she replied. "*sniffff snifff* I can sniff them, they are close to us maybe 200 more meters.", announced Gavro to Aleg. "Good, good, good. Once I find Annie again, I will make her sign a pact, if she disobeys then I am done with her.", said Aleg smirking. "Pacts are truly astonishing things. Somehow that ability was like imprinted in my mind after I had met Satan. I actually wonder, if I may be able to grow black wings like Lucifer, hehe.", ttalked Aleg to himself. He turned to Gavro and congratulated him for finding the village:" Congratulations, old man. I could have sworn the strange method you had used to track them woulld be a hoax." Gavro replied:" Hoho, thank you Master. Sometimes the ways of the wicked are truly strange. Nonetheless the results are still the same. The only important thing is to reach the set goal, the method used doesnt matter." *rattle rattle* "Hide quickly Mila! Someone is coming from the trees over there! They might be from the red tribe.", ordered Annie in a loud voice. Once she saw Aleg and Gavro coming out of the woods, a wave of happiness and calmness had hit her. She immidiately ran torwards Aleg to jump straight into his arms yelling:" It is Aleg, Mila. You can come out!", only 3 meters away from Aleg, " I have missed youuuuu!" Aleg sidestepped and Annie had involuntarely smashed her head into a tree and her arms automatically hugged the tree. "Sooo meaaan, to sidestep my hug!", she exclaimed. He replied coldly:" Serves you right for yelling like an idiot, when you didnt even identify us from when we were coming out of the woods. We might have been from the red oni tribe looking for survivors.." She pouted and apologized while rubbing her hand all over her face, that had been scratched from the forceful tree hug. Mila had come. back to them with shining eyes and did her most polite bow thanking Aleg:" Thank you Lord, for coming to help me." Aleg''s face was as distorted as when he had bitten into a very sour lemon:" No problem Kiddo, let''s save your tribe really fast, so I can continue my way." Before Aleg had forgotten it, he summoned a demon''s contract and telling Annie to sign it. "What is that?", she unpolitely asked. "A fucking contract now sign it.", he forced her. She started reading the contents and the more she read the more bulged her eyes out. *Aleg''s demon contract with a human soul Annie ( Master-Servant). The soul, with whom the contract has been made, has to serve Demon Aleg for eternity. Any disobeyance is punished with the absorbtion of the soul core. The soul in turn gains a boost to her physical abilities. "Why do I have to sign this? Gavro didnt have to sign anything.", she said. "Actually I made Gavro something similar.." Gavro nodded towards Annie, after Aleg had mentioned him. "Whatever, I will sign it.. Not that I ever plan on disobeying you and the physical boost doesnt sound too bad." While she thought:" Maybe with the superior strength, that I will receive, I might actually help Aleg in combat out!" Her heart pounded harder after thinking of fighting side by side with her love interest. Annie signed the contract. If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "Good now that we have this out of this way, let''s raid an oni village. I have to vent my frustration somewhere for walking around the forest. Kiddo how far is the red oni village?", Aleg asked. Mila replied:" ten kilometers.. My Lord." Annie interrupted her:" They have lots of treasures!!" Aleg frowned at the idea for walking another ten kilometers through the dense forest. However he had decided he will rescue that blue tribe and if they dont give him their most valuable treasures, then he will just massacre both of the tribes." Once they were walking through the forest, tjey had encountered some jelly spirits, demon wolves and foxes. The funniest part though was how Annie had crushed every single demon with her punch. She happily spoke to Aleg:" I love this physical boost! Hopefully we will always fight together, Aleg!" After a painfully long walk through the dense forest, they had reached the red oni tribe village. The village looked just as the blue oni one. Black wooden houses, a campfire in the middle, however there was a big cage made out of black marmoe to contain the blue oni. "So what is the plan master, it looks like we have to deal with 40 warriors from the red oni tribe. Mila sobbed in the back, but before she could let out a cry from sadness, her mouth has been covered by Gavro. "Shhhhhhh, my dear Mila. We dont want to alert the red oni, dont we?", spoke Gavro to her. She had somewhat calmed down and told them:" They killed most people from our tribe." Indicating that only 10 prisoners were seen out of 80. Annie calmed her further down:" Maybe they managed to flee or they are hidden somewhere." Aleg had a grin on his face like a small happy child:" I have the perfect plan to rescue them, hehehe!!" He explained:" Liste , I wanna test out the new abilities, that I had gotten fron Leila. Most likely it will work." They waited for the dark cloak of the night until all the oni fell asleep, since they werent nocturnal types. Aleg activated his Eyes of the Void and entered the minds of all the red oni demons. One by one. He noticed he could not tamper around much in their minds. He could either absorb the last five minutes a soul had experienced or swap basic stuff in their mind. What Aleg did was truly cunning. He changed the sight perception of red and blue swapping them out. He was finished swapping out the colors in their minds after 15 minutes. The rest of his team was wondering what he was doing, but they didnt dare to disturb him. "Alright. I am done time to sleep.", told them Aleg. "Wait, whaaaat?! Dont we want to ambush them or something?", Annie asked. He ordered any to shut up and told Mila soon your tribe will be rescued. Thus they went to sleep. The next morning had arrived and Aleg and his companions were awakened by sudden battle cries and the screams of dying onis. The scene was marvelous. Red onis were slaugjtering each other and everyone was confused as to why they had been circled around by blue onis. They all thought they had killed most of the blue oni tribe members. Some of the red oni saw their kin in the prison cells, where the blue ones were one day ago. They frantically tried to break the lock down. So at least they had the advantage in numbers. Once the prison doors were forced open, the apparently red oni joined the fray and started killing the blue ones. It was truly a marvelous view for Aleg and his teammembers. Mila asked astonished:" What did you do, great Lord? The rrd oni aee killing each other and some other red onis helped our blue oni out of the prison cells." "Control the mind, control the body.", replied Aleg with his eyes of the Void activated and sitting crosslegged. He was absorbing all the black mist, that had been accumulating from all the corpses. The onis were too focused on killing each other and they didnt notice, how a stream of black mist with extremely fast speed flew into the woords, directly into the Eyes of a particular demon. The screams ceased and Aleg finished absorbing the mist. Suddenly he got a headache though for no apparent reason. Gavro told Aleg:" Oooh, black demonic horns had started growing from that sudden huge amount of soul cores." Aleg couldnt believe what he heard and touched his head. Indeed two small bulges had started growing and they were incredibly hard.
