Patrick was standing in front of the Roulette, his four Heroes were standing behind him.
Spin...spin...spin
"It's probably another pitiful Hero!" Dyrroth said.
The other threes heard Dyrroth's words, but they kept silent as they didn't want to miss the moment their fellow Hero appear and they knew too well the arrogant attitude of this demon.
BOOM
Lava came out from underneath, and a big fire demon appeared.
("Uh oh, it's that demon.") thought Patrick.
"I take back what I said before." said Dyrroth.
"Hahaha...Burn them all!"

Old Li was sitting in the Ancestors' Hall, meditating. Suddenly, the fire of the candles in the room rose up until they touch the roof. The fire of the incense was normally small, suddenly became big fire and also rose up to the roof.
"Father, what happened?" seeing the excessive smoke from outside, Mrs. Li ran in and was completely shocked to see the fire rose up.
"A powerful demon...has come to the mortal world." said Old Li, whose face was completely pale.
***
At the tower in country A
"What is happening to me?" Oni screamed out when blue fire suddenly appeared around his body although he was not angry and did not intend to use the fire either.
Gradually, the blue fire turned red and rose up to the roof.
"What is happening to my fire?" wondered Oni.
***
Somewhere, the firefighters were trying to extinguish a forest fire. The fire was nearly put out by them, there were just small fire here and there, but it was basically over. Suddenly, the fire rose up and went strong again.
"What? Impossible!" uttered a firefighter, totally shocked.
***
Back in the System's dimension
"So tell me, Dyrroth, what did you say that made you retract it when you saw me?"
"Ah, it's nothing important!" Dyrroth said before dodging the scythe that was swung at him.
"Ha, good, you still have what I taught you engraved in your mind!" said Thamuz.
Right at that moment, Patrick received notifications

While listening to the notification, Patrick prepared to go out of the System's dimension.
"Hey, boy, where do you think you are going?" said Thamuz, who had turned his head to look at him.
Patrick could feel a ton of pressure on him as Thamuz walked to to him.
"Baby fat, milky-belly, I did expect my Master to be weaker than me, but NOT THIS WEAK!" Thamuz observed Patrick closely and felt disappointed.
Patrick couldn't help stepping back due to the pressure and the heat from Thamuz.

("Wait, what are you doing, System?")
Thamuz looked at the status window of Patrick that the System showed him.
"BELOW AVERAGE!"
Thamuz swung his scythes, one landed to the right of Patrick, another landed to his left.
("Crap, I'm sandwiched!")
"Normally, if I met a creature this weak, I would kill it. But since I can't harm you, then you need some training, boy. And I mean RIGHT NOW!"
Suddenly, Dyrroth appeared behind Patrick and pushed him, making him fall down on his face.
"100 PUSH-UPS!"
"Are you mad? I can't do..." Patrick stopped what he was saying when he saw the menacing aura of Thamuz. He turned to his other Heroes, asking for help. But what he received were
"..." Saber stood there without saying anything, Patrick couldn't know what he was thinking.
"Although I do think that making you fall down like that is extreme, but training will be good for you, Master." said Layla.
"You can do it, trust yourself." said Eudora.
"Ok, fine!" Patrick said and began to use his arms to raise body up and down, accepting his fate.
"One, two, three,..." counted Dyrroth.
But Patrick could only reach four and his arms could not take it anymore.
"Garbage, do it ALL OVER AGAIN!" shouted Thamuz.
"But..."
"NO BUT!" said Thamuz.
Then Patrick began doing push-ups again. This time was better, he reached five before his arms gave in.
"START OVER AGAIN!" shouted Thamuz.
("Ugh!")
The process kept repeating until there was a notification from the System.
<
< Note: a little below average human.>> "We will stop here for today!" said Thamuz, shaking his head. ("Yay") thought Patrick before he logged out of the System's dimension. *** In the evening, the royal family dined with each other. ("Ugh, my arms are so tired and painful. I can't hold my knife and fork right!") lamented Patrick, who was having a difficulty holding and using his knife and fork. Noticing this, his uncle mocked him "Oh, my nephew, don't tell me you forgot how to dine properly! Vincent, show him!" Vincent, Patrick's cousin, who was even fatter than him, smiled and said: "Cousin, you have to use the knife like this and the fork like this." said Vincent while cutting the steak and put the cut piece into his mouth. "When there is no important matter, refrain from speaking when eating." said the King, while glaring at Patrick's uncle and cousin. "Yes, Father!" "Yes, Grandfather!" *** At dawn, when Patrick was sleeping soundly, suddenly, his phone rang. "Who is it?" Patrick took the phone and asked. "WAKE UP! YOU WEAKLING CREATURE! And run around the palace for 10 rounds!" shouted Thamuz on the other side. ("What the hell! They can even call me!") Patrick then hung up the phone on Thamuz, turned off the phone and lied down. "BOY! HOW DARE YOU HANG UP ON ME! DON'T YOU REMEMBER THAT WE CAN TALK WITH YOU IN YOUR MIND?" shouted Thamuz in Patrick's head. ("Then why the hell did you call when you could use some kind of telepathy.") < *** This morning, Patrick's grandparents were completely surprised when they saw him woke up so soon and did exercises in the morning, along with running around the palace. ("Maybe he had realized his responsibility!") thought his grandfather. But in reality, "RUN FASTER! You run like a chicken!" shouted Thamuz < < Note: below average human.>> And Patrick was completely exhausted when he came to the dining room for breakfast. He didn't have the appetite to eat. "EAT! If you don't eat, you won't have energy for the training!" Thamuz said in his head. Patrick was about to complain when he saw notifications from the System: < <
