Asmodeus Scripture

"I want to become stronger. Please, whoever you are, whatever you are, give me power. I need power! Give me power whatever it will cost."

In front of an old book, a young boy was kneeling at the book. It had a black cover with the symbol of an inverted triangle on it.

The room was dark. The candle couldn't last as its light faded. Cold air entered the room through ventilation and lowering the temperature.

Suddenly, the light of the candle vanished. The young boy lifted his head and looked at the book. Slowly, the book opened its cover. The page was shifting slowly. Soon, the book stopped moving. Its page was emitting a red light that make the room brighten.

"Wh-what happen?" The boy stammered. He closed his eyes due to the flashy light.

He opened his eyes slowly. Then, he was shocked when he look at the air. He gasped and stretched his hand into the air. There was floating organized words.

[Congratulations, you have become a mage. I am Asmodeus, greeting you to become my believer. To unlock your skill you must complete the quest]

[QUEST]

Kill 4 humans, whether it is noble, farmer, merchant, or any kind of human. The stronger and higher position the human that you kill will affect your reward.]

[Name: Kieran Moore]

[Class: Beginner Mage]

[Strength: 2.0]

[Speed: 2.0]

[Agility: 2.0]

[Intelligent: 2.4]

[Luck: 6 ]

[Evaluation: Stronger than an ordinary human, but weaker than real mage.]

Kieran gulped, "Is this real?"

He lifted both of his hands and focused on the hand's muscles. He could feel the strength that was bigger than before. He knew that once a human become a mage, even if it was a low-level one, that person would gain an amazing power. His strength, speed, agility, and intelligence would be twice what normal people usually had.

"Hehe, I couldn't believe this! Mage! I've become a mage! This book is a real one! How lucky I am," Kieran chuckled. He found the book yesterday in the mountain cave, several miles away from this city. He guessed the cave was a hiding place of Asmodeus’ believers.

This book was an enchanted scripture. Enchanted scripture was the scripture that had received a blessing from god itself. Enchanted scripture could change a normal human to become a mage, but it could only be used once time. After that, enchanted scripture would become normal scripture. Only a high priest that had the power to bless a normal scripture to become the enchanted one, of course, with permission from the god itself.

Kieran took an lighter from his pocket. He grabbed the scripture and raised it. Then, he turned on the lighter with another hand. Kieran was burning the book. Slowly, the fire was devouring the book. its smoke was spreading and filled the room.

There was a rule in this city, Amantha. All evil believer mages were a criminal, whether they were doing a crime or not. The Hecrotus Kingdom was established by three religions. God of Knowledge believer, The Sun Church, and The Savior Lord. These three religions were categorized as light Factions. In this world, there were three factions, evil, light, and neutral.

After the book was burned, Kieran walked out of the room. He opened the door and saw the chain of grungy houses. In front of them, there was a muddy alley. Kieran walked through the alley slowly. The moonlight made him able to look at the things around him easily.

"Quest, 4 humans to kill, of course, the criminal such as a bandit, thief, or killer are good targets to kill."

Kieran was not a bad person. He had no intention to kill innocent people. Even if he was an evil believer mage now, he believed a person couldn't be judged just by his religion. He knew someone who was a priest of The Savior Lord and that man was a bad person. He had done various things that could be considered heinous sins.

At the end of the alley, there was a solid road that could accommodate four wagons. On both sides of the road, there were several merchants stalls offering various things, such as food, clothes, accessories, etc.

Crowds filled the road. A loud noise was disturbing Kieran's ears. He covered his head with a hood. After that, he walked through the crowd of people. Soon, he strolled to the alleyway and walked away from the noise.

After 10th minutes, Keiran arrived at the port. Amantha was a port city. In the past, it was used to connect the Eula Sea and the capital of the Hecrotus Kingdom. However, Amantha’s function as the port city in the Hecrotus Kingdom was replaced by a new city, Eterna. Eterna had a better geographical position and a closer distance to the capital.

After being abandoned by the government, the port of Amantha became barely used. The ones who still used this port were gang members. They frequently brought illegal objects that the kingdom had banned. So, the best place to find criminals to kill was this place.

Kieran hid behind a big container. He was peeking at a group of people. Four people were heaving a big box which was 2 meters tall and 3 meters wide. On the upper side ofthe box, there was a square hole that Kieran assumed was used as ventilation.

"Be careful, the boss has said this box is important," the bald gangster said.

"Hey, what creature do you think is inside this box?" The tall gangster asked.

"I don't know, maybe some baby monster or something scary. Don't mind it."

Kieran walked slowly without a sound. Fogbound moonlight made those gangsters unable to see Kieran. Suddenly, Kieran grabbed the bald gangster’s neck and snapped it. When other gangsters saw Kieran, they quickly put the box down and rushed to attack him.

"Who are you? Do you know whom you're causing trouble with?" They withdrew their swords and pointing them at Kieran.

Kieran pulled his hood down, showing his attractive face. The man smirked, "I should be the one asking you that question."

The tall gangster swung his sword. Kieran tilted his body to the side and dodged the attack. Then, he caught the tall gangster hand and use his other hand to grip the tall gangster's neck. Soon, he pushed the tall gangster body to the other side. The breaded gangster's sword was poking the tall gangster body.

Kieran took the tall gangster's sword and jabbed it at the breaded gangster's. Seconds later, He dodged the only woman gangster's sword and kicked her. Kieran knocked the woman down with his foot. Then, he stabbed the sword into the only woman gangster’s chest.

After Kieran made sure those 4 gangsters were dead, he approached the box. The man opened the lid forcefully. When the box was fully open, Kieran became stunned. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
