Chapter 1
“SOMEONE STOP HIM! WE NEED HIM TO STOP LUCIFER FROM DESTROYING THE WHOLE ACADEMY!” a loud shout tore through the air as a middle-aged man clad in billowing blue robes raised his hand, causing a massive earth spike to spring out from the ground.Surrounding him were all sorts of people, including the students in the senior year, as they gazed intently at the creature standing not too far away.All sorts of elemental and physical attacks surged forward from them and landed squarely on the youth.BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!A terrifying eruption erupted the moment the attacks landed on him, and a cloud of dust rose into the air.“Is-is he dead?” one of the senior students raised his voice to ask. They could still recall the terror the youth known as Lucifer had caused.One of the instructors hesitated briefly. “I-I can't tell...” He turned to a female teacher beside him and asked, “Vera, your talent is related to enhanced sight. Can you see anything?”Vera nodded at his words, then turned her gaze

COLD!Lucifer felt an unbearable chill crawling through his skin as he groggily stood up from the cold ground.Subconsciously, he moved his hand down to his chest, feeling the warmth flowing through his beating heart.‘What?’ Lucifer drew in a sharp breath, stunned.He sat up slowly and touched his chest. It seemed like his heart was beating. However, Lucifer didn't know why, but he could tell that it was vastly different from a normal human heart.At that moment, the memories from before came crashing heavily into his mind.Lucifer’s eyes turned blank for a moment as he tried to process what had happened...“I was... betrayed. Hahahaha, the last two I trusted betrayed me!”Lucifer let out a deranged laugh. It was as though something had snapped in his mind as he laughed wildly.Lucifer was an orphan, and only through the scholarship given to less privileged children was he able to get by in school.‘My parents lived and died for the organization, and this is how I was treated?’ Lucif

Ding! You have received a new mission.][KILL 5 HUMANS, INCLUDING AMIRA AND STORM.][TIME LIMIT: 74 HOURS.][REWARD: 15 CREATION POINTS, 10,000 DOLLARS.]Lucifer read through the information, and his gaze turned sharp.‘Kill?’ There was a brief hesitation in his pure, naive eyes. He was silent for a brief moment before clenching his fist.‘As long as it can make me stronger. It doesn't matter how I obtain such strength.’ Resolving with himself, Lucifer raised his head to glance up at the skies.Just then, he heard a faint rustle coming from nearby. Immediately, his gaze turned fierce.In a blink, he heard faint voices emerging from the distant trees nearby.The sky wasn't darkened, and the sun hung limply over the horizon, so after being obscured by the trees, Lucifer was able to see who was hiding behind them.There were two wolves clad in black fur, which radiated an intense predatory aura. They growled repeatedly as though they were starved beasts as they stared at him.Immediately

Inside the river, Lucifer could feel the subtle warmth as he scrubbed his body clean.It was a form of baptism to him, as though he was washing away his past life and behaviors.After he finished cleaning himself up, he thought of something and, standing naked in the midst of the pool, he glanced at the system.[Creation Points: 5]‘This should work, right?’ the youth hesitated briefly, then his thoughts moved.In his mind, a series of imaginations subtly formed.As though sensing what he was forming, the system glowed briefly.[Detected the blueprint of a normal drying towel. This will cost a single Creation Point to create. Do you wish to go ahead with the creation?]Lucifer’s eyes widened as he stared at the system’s words.It seemed almost impossible, and for a moment, he didn't know what to think.Subconsciously, he hesitated, then nodded. “Yes.”He watched as his Creation Points decreased by one, becoming 4.[The System Store has been unlocked.][System Store: This is an artific
Chapter 5
Lucifer stepped into room number 201.The moment he entered the room, he heard his roommates' loud voices.Each dorm room had three occupants, and the order in which they were arranged was random.So, aside from Lucifer, two others were inside the dorm room.“I'm definitely destroying you in this ga-” the voice of the first youth, who was of a similar age to Lucifer, 16, was interrupted by the sound of the door opening.They were startled and couldn't help but widen their eyes upon seeing Lucifer step in.“Lucifer? Storm said you had died in the dungeon previously. How are you still alive?”‘Storm!’ Lucifer clenched his fist at the mention of Storm's name. Restraining his aura, he ignored the two and entered his room, which was at the far end on the left side.“What a trash. I can't believe I was even slightly worried about him for a moment…” the youth sneered, clearly angered at being ignored.The other boy beside him, with orange hair and dark brown eyes, shrugged.“You were the one

Lucifer reined in his aura, and the rest of the lessons continued as usual.When the final class ended and the instructor began to leave, another man stepped into the room through the doorway.He was tall and broad-shouldered, his posture composed yet carrying a quiet authority.His hair was neatly tied back, and the faint lines around his eyes hinted at both age and experience.A subtle scent of ink and faint cologne drifted in as he entered, and his calm gaze swept across the students before settling on Lucifer.The room fell silent.“Lucifer,” the man said evenly, his tone clear but without unnecessary warmth. “You are needed at the principal’s office.”Lucifer’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing the man’s words.He paused briefly, then stood up and followed the man out.As he did, faint whispers from his classmates spread through the air.…Lucifer followed Instructor Kael through the corridors.As they walked, he glanced at his surroundings.Far off in the distance, a youth was
Chapter 7
Lucifer calmly wiped the blood from his hands, his gaze fixed upon the three figures before him with lifeless expressions.His own face was eerily calm, his childish, innocent features devoid of all emotion as he stared at the corpses as if they were nothing more than insignificant bundles of dust.A shimmering, transparent panel, the system, flashed to life directly in his line of sight.[Killed, 3 creatures. Obtained 10 Creation Points.][Congratulations on killing three humans. Please circulate the Dragon Devouring Art to extract their bloodline and obtain the corresponding Blood Points.]At the system’s words, a faint glimmer of emotion, a spark of sudden understanding, appeared in Lucifer’s eyes.A surge of new knowledge on how to extract a life’s essence surfaced in his mind.He now understood how to manipulate a peculiar, vibrant substance within his body called Dragon Essence.This Dragon Essence could effectively devour the purified blood essence from the corpses, storing it
Chapter 8
Later that night…Outside, a notification blared to life inside a building filled with students…Just as Lucifer had guessed, some abnormalities had been discovered!Every day, investigations were conducted on the students at night using their identity watches.This was a peculiar tool that would send the life readings of the students back to those in charge every day at 12 midnight.This was done so that the whole academy would remain in a state of peace despite the bullying, without the students killing each other.Although there were times when students' life readings failed to turn up, most likely due to suicide, it wasn't as common as today.Inside the investigation room, situated in a corner office of the academy...Three people browsed through the monitors.Suddenly, one man with slight beards and a few freckles on his face raised his eyebrows, stunned.“Five people committed suicide today? That's particularly high…”The man beside him was also slightly startled and turned to g

“Students, this is Lisa,” the instructor announced, gesturing toward a young woman. “She possesses a D-grade talent related to lie detection. She will be investigating a few of you and asking some questions. Please come with me.”Lucifer’s heart skipped a beat at her words.[New Mission!][Mission Details: Escape the consequences of your actions.][Note: This mission is divided into different parts, and for each part completed, the corresponding rewards will be received.][Time Limit: -]Lucifer’s eyes widened at the system’s words.‘Divided into different parts?’ he was stunned, not knowing how many consequences the simple deaths he caused the previous day would bring about.The system shrank the notification and displayed another line of words.[First Side Escape Mission: Discover the aspects of Lisa’s lie detection talent and manipulate your answers, escaping immediate apprehension.][Rewards: 50 Creation Points, $30,000.][Time Limit: 6 hours.]Lucifer stared blankly at the next n
