"Welcome back, you son of a bitch!"
"Philip."
I was wondering why this guy has still not said anything to me. Normally, he would come to me running and shower some punches and words of glory, but today he was always at the corner of my eyes.
"So, you tried to run?"
"You got a problem with that?"
"Of course, my friend."
My friend?
"How can I not have any problems when one of my friends returned from death's mouth?"
He wrapped his hands over my shoulders and dragged me along with him gently. He was never this gentle with me, heck, was he ever gentle with me? I don't think so.
"Where are you taking me?" I said, looking over his wrapped hand.
"What? Just accompanying an old friend."
<This guy is up to no good. Ken, be careful.>
'Right.'
Now, what are the possible outcomes that are about to befall me? One, he will use me to get everyone's admiration. Two, he will take me to a secluded place where his usual gang would be waiting and beat me up there. Three, he will sell me to some girls and watch me getting... you know, and jack off watching that. And four, all of the above.
"Hey, why were you trying to commit suicide?" Phillip whispered in my ears.
I knew he was going to ask this, so I prepared an answer beforehand. Can't have him catch a glimpse of my newfound, no, calling it Potential seems like I've been given hand-me-down clothes by that fuckin' BITCH.
Hmm... let's call it 'Arte', which means 'Demonic Power' in Latin.
"I wanted to know how death feels like."
I know it's a stupid answer, but it will help me keep them in the dark until I gain the power to tread over them.
"Hahaha! Still stupid as ever! Still, dying in the Tower? Seriously?! Hahaha!"
'Just wait, I will surely kill with my own two hands.'
His laugh was enough to make the other bypassers shoot their gazes at my back. They didn't even make an effort to lower their voices.
"Hey, why is Philip's hand wrapped over that trash's shoulder?"
I would also like to know.
"Sir Philip is touching that trash!"
"I am going to kill him...!"
Those words cut deep.
I looked towards Philip's face. He was waving at the masses. I even saw some girls falling flat. You can already guess how he is to everyone. Handsome, rich, kind (to girls only), friendly to approach, and all the features of a perfect man.
I know that he is not actually like that. But I like that part of his. How easily he fools everyone and how everyone tugs to his wagging tail like obedient dogs. That is commendable. Well, my first guess was spot on.
We walked and walked.
***
Sigh... finally.
I expected this, but I still couldn't stop my heart from pounding hard. It was the back of our school, the usual beat-up place. I was almost starting to miss this place. Almost...
<Ah... I don't think I can watch what's about to happen.>
His gang was waiting for us with three girls, ugly as hell, eating their faces, not literally, sexually.
My second guess was on spot too.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
"Haha! Take this, son of a bitch!"
"I can never get tired of this!"
"Die die die!"
"Here, get some of my piss!"
My nose was long gone. My hands were immovable. My eyes were swollen up like a ball. Some bones in my rib were broken and my whole body reeked of fresh piss.
'Seems like my bandages and the medicines are going to run out again...'
Two hours passed and then they stopped, panting heavily due to the heavy 'workout'. I was no more than crippled at this point. But I knew this was not the end. The third possibility was still left. The three sex-crazed girls who were touching each other at a distance approached my almost dead body. And with this my third and fourth guess also came true.
One of them ran her hands over my nether regions, skillfully avoiding the stick. The other two were over my body, licking it like a dog. I was feeling disgusted. How can they lick something which was just pissed on? But they did not stop there. Their tongues slowly made their way to my face. What was even more disgusting was the fact that the boys had their dicks pointed towards the girls' butts. Fuck...
I struggled to keep them off my face with every ounce of strength I had, but I was scared. One of the bullies had super strength as his potential. If I were to attempt anything funny to them, I would not be able to leave this place safely.
...
Come to think of it, when do I even leave this place safely?
The girl at my pants slowly started to unzip my pants.
That's right... I have never been safe in my entire life, so how could I expect to be safe now?
Her hand moved slowly and carefully towards my stick.
Rage... that was what I was feeling... a feeling that I had experienced before. That overwhelming sense of wringing their necks and crushing their bones to dust... that was what "rage" was to me.
Another girl from behind licked the almost touching hand. Her grimy saliva dripped over the tip of my stick. It twitched tremendously and shrank some more.
'Fuck...'
Now, her mouth was making its way.
'Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck...'
The boys from behind were already rubbing their things in the girls' butts.
'Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck...'
Screw safety. Screw conscience. Screw everything that makes me look pitiful. I am a demon now.
"Ufufufu... this will be tasty~."
And I am going to live up to the demon in my head... at all costs.
Tring!
Time stopped. No one was breathing. No one was moving except me. And in front of me was something strange.
{You have met the requirements of the hidden quest "Resolve"}
{You can now wield the power of the "??? Demon"}
{Will you accept?}
{Y/N}
Hidden quest? Resolve? Powers? Why are their question marks? What is happening?
All sorts of questions ran through my mind and I rummaged the depths of my mind for answers. Not even Lan was answering. What was this?
Is the system giving me a chance? Will it make me powerful? Powerful enough to stand on my own two feet and tread over the whole world? If yes, then...
{You have accepted the offer}
{Activating "Rage"}
{Welcome, Daemonium}
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
My insides were tearing apart. My head was splitting apart. Something vigorously hot and powerful was flowing through my body like blood on cloud nine. It was not pleasant, definitely not pleasant.
I was burning from inside and I felt hundreds- if not thousands of blades cutting and scraping my skin.
I passed out.
***
I woke up but I was not in 'that' place. It was not my apartment. It was somewhere else.
A sweet scent lingered around the edges of my body and my body could remember a pleasant embrace.
"You are awake?"
I turned around.
"You...?"

My memories from that time are still hazy. All I can remember is the message from the System. And then something happened to my body before passing out. No, now's not the time to think about such things. "Did you really not find anyone?" Her puppy eyes made a circle before stopping at me. "Nope. No one. Was someone with you?"

"What the..."That guy was lying on his back with his neck tilted to the side and... he was not breathing...My eyes stayed fixed at the spot I hit him.Blood, no, I don't think that substance could be called blood. A liquid that was dyed in pure black with a simple tinge of blood-red which gave off an ominous scent, that this couldn't be called "blood". It was simply terrifying to watch. But those are all side notes. My main concern was that I killed someone with my own hands...All sorts of thoughts rose and raged in my mind. Someone I killed for the first time... the shock was, by no means, a small one.Fuck, this is not good. My head is going all fuzzy. I can't concentrate.I glanced at my fingers.

The Demon That Laid Dormant 3 Years Later
[3 years later] "Hey! Search in that house!" The sound of several people's footsteps and the juggling of their equipment and weapons rang inside my ears. I could guess who they were just by their sound. After all, they were always flocking around my relatives whenever they would visit my parents, though those times would never come again. "That demon was just here! We are telling the truth! We really saw that ominous white hair!" A couple, dressed in the most absurd fashion one can think of, was yelling at the top of their lungs, and the heavily equipped people were shaking their heads in denial. And among them, there was one familiar face, a face everyone in this city knew. But white hair? Oh, my hair turned during the incident. Well, not like I missed the black. "We are sorry." "You useless bunch! Who made you a chaser?! Do you even know what will happen to you lot if something happens to me?!" the girl lashed out at the chasers in fuming rage. "..." The chasers were silent.

"Fuu..."I finally got accepted. I didn't think that they would accept me after seeing my white hair but hey, they did. Well, I was pretty sure it was the mask that saved me.I took off the mask and stared at it.It was a mask Lan gave me out of nowhere to hide my face. It had a slick design and some strange patterns were carved in the region near the left eye, and the bottom of the mask was open, maybe for eating purposes.Lan said that this mask could not be taken off by anyone else other than the wearer, which proved to be quite useful. They tried their best to take it off, but all in vain, and when they asked me to take it off myself, all I had to do was fool them, which was easy for me.Now all that was left was to erase every connection I had as Ken, and I had to make a new identity, which was not too much of a problem. The problem was... how to say... the name? I wanted to name myself, but I couldn't think of a name that came to my liking.

It was because he knew what kind of family was this. A single mistake and Alvin might lose his life with a single flick of a finger."Fuu..." He sighed in deep caution, repeatedly glancing to his surroundings for potential attacks, and after a while, he was standing in front of the mansion's huge and grand door.Knock knock!He knocked at the door softly."Coming."

Tap tap tap… The sound of Elena's high heels slowly started to fade from the room as she made her way to the door at the end of the Duchess' huge room. The Duchess was smiling at the apple of her eyes- her daughter's elegant and noble demeanour. From the very birth of her daughter, she has taken extensive measures to mould her daughter into a perfect girl, just like her. 'Possess everything you want- be it a man, money or power- everything. Crush anything you don't like. Always flaunt your power and show them your appeal in every sense. Do whatever it takes to stay at the top, whatever it takes.' The Duchess still remembered the words she poured into her daughter back when the Duchess killed her husband in front of her daughter. That was a perfect example for her daughter. Her husband, Roy Kleine, also called the Duke, was above the Duchess in every sense. Likeable personality, great power, filthy rich, and full of love for his wife- that was

"I thought that you were calling my name." Faltering now would be a complete giveaway. I cannot give them any chance to be suspicious. "What is your name?" "Ren…" I haven't turned around yet. I did not dare to do so. The overwhelming strength and dominance in the gaze didn't let me. "Shall we talk?" "... sure." It was better to go along with him until I knew their true intentions. "Good. If you have refused, we would have to use force but it's a good thing you didn't. Now, let's go." The man wrapped his arms around my neck and that's when I got a glimpse of him but what I saw was... "Levithan Guild…" That man was Relin Ivy, the Vice-Guild Master of one of the five most influential guilds- the Levithan Guild! "Hoh? Are you a fan? Haha, sorry but I don't give autographs."
