Huff. Puff.
Desire breathed roughly as soon as he regained his consciousness inside.
His deep blue eyes shined as soon as he opened them.
As time passed, Desire soon calmed down.
"What happened?"
Based on what he could remember, Desire should have been eradicated by now.
After all, his emotions were destroyed. His mind would soon follow, and eventually, his soul would get bitten down.
However, he was here right after what happened.
It was then.
The voice of the system interrupted him.
[Desire's trait, Perfect State, has been acquired.]
[Desire's trait, Chaotic Mind, has been acquired.]
[These two traits are compatible with each other because they are exact opposites. Adding them together...]
[Desire's trait, Heavenly Demon, has been acquired.]
Then, something of a screen popped up in front of Desire's eyes.
[Stauts]
[Name: Desire]
[Race: Human]
[Age: 5 years old]
[Rank: 1]
[Rank: Cannot be identified]
[Traits: Heavenly Demon]
[Title: None]
[Divine Protection: Cannot be identified]
...
[Special bonus of the trait, Heavenly Demon, the special Authority, Heaven's Way, and Demon's path has been unlocked in one of the floors of the Tower.]
[The Heavenly Demon trait is forcing the System and the Monster's way to combine.]
[Monster's way will be locked temporarily.]
As soon as the message ended, Desire was left full of questions.
However, because the base condition of getting the Heavenly Demon Trait is his perfect control over his emotions, he didn't get too worked up.
"Heavenly Demon...I guess that's better than Cold-blooded Trait. But, how did I end up doing it?"
And as soon as he said that, a scene showed up in his mind. It was the scene of a light showing up in a dark room.
And Desire could feel it. No, rather he could understand why the scene showed up right now.
It was because of the trait, Heavenly Demon. As long as Desire could feel, remember, see even a glimpse, his trait would basically help him see the full picture.
And Desire could feel that the emotion of despair saved his life.
It was because he was able to feel despair; all sorts of feelings that are connected to it rushed to him.
"Ironic. Despair helped me regain my emotions."
Desire didn't plan to dwell on that too much. It was just something he felt at the moment, and it just saved him at the right time.
He then looked at Heaven's way and Demon's path.
"Hmm. It seems that it was because of my Heavenly Demon's trait that this opened up. Is it that spectacular? What's the Tower anyway?"
Desire then shrugged his shoulder as he thought, 'Guess I'll find out later.'
He didn't have to think about things he didn't know, and he didn't have to force his ignorant mind to know right now.
Because of the Trait influencing him, or, rather, how he shaped his Trait, the Heavenly Demon, Desire's mind was completely efficient.
Well, if you put it into simpler terms, he was lazy to think about it.
"Monster's way...hmmm, I'll find out later. The important thing is..."
The System added the Perfect State and Chaotic mind together, creating the Heavenly Demon.
However, now Heavenly Demon was trying to force this mysterious Monster's way to combine with the System.
Even the System wasn't able to defend against it because it just straight locked up the Monster's way.
"So, the Heavenly Demon is much better than the System?"
That's what Desire came into. After all, it could force the system into doing something the system didn't want to do.
However, Desire could guess why and how Heavenly Demon could do it.
"It's probably because of how it was formed. Exact opposites, huh. It also means that...Some skills and traits whatnot aren't really controlled by the system."
And there was something to look forward to by just considering that fact.
"Body Control Skill...Since the System couldn't put a rank into it, it is that strong. Hmmm. I'll have to find the All Brain Skill later."
Desire stood up after organizing his thoughts.
Just because he had a trait now doesn't mean he is a completely different person.
That was why he was extremely looking forward to meeting Jarina and the others.
However, when he looked around, Jarina couldn't be seen.
Desire walked towards the table, yet the date that was written there was still the same.
Although he didn't think anything bad about it, Desire still had an inkling.
Thanks to his trait that could be considered a one of a kind, Desire knew something was up just from the few hints that could be seen here.
Dust that accumulated on the table, chairs that didn't seem to have been replaced even though it was broken due to Desire's thinking...
Although it may seem like hours has only passed, it is not.
A month or even two months have already passed because of Desire's action of destroying his emotions.
It only happened for a fraction of a second there, but it lasted for a month in real life.
"Hmmm. Should I go out, now?"
Desire was reluctant to go out without the room owner's permission. However, seeing that Jarina isn't going to come here, Desire quickly came to a decision.
He moved to a spot where spare clothes could be seen, and he quickly wore it.
Because of the time that has passed, Desire was taller now, and his face seems to be more masculine.
He could now be seen as a youth even though his actual age is just 1 year old.
Nevertheless, Desire walked towards where he entered.
He hesitated a little bit, and he looked back towards the place where he stayed for almost a year.
Even though he usually stayed in his head, he still had some feelings about it.
However, as time passes, Desire naturally had to move on.
"Hah. This isn't like me."
Desire put on a smile that fit the trait of a Heavenly Demon and said as he walked.
"I can finally go out."
It was Desire's first step towards the human world.
