"You're back, Liagnel," said the God of Death. "How's the trip?"
Liagnel, the messenger that was locked up inside the stock room, took off his cloak. His thin skin and bones look changed into that of a normal body.
"My Lord, you didn't have to put me in a spell inside those gross rotten bodies of dwarves!"
The God of Death laughed as he pats Liagnel's head. "My bad, my bad. So, what about my message?"
Liagnel likes having his head patted by his Lord. "I was able to convey your message, my Lord. I even left them with a gift."
"A gift? What's this gift?"
"Oh, just one of the minotaurs I've been experimenting with recently."
Liagnel has the habit of experimenting and exploiting monsters' capabilities and the extent of their knowledge.
"The one with the rainbow horn? That's an expensive gift. How generous of you."
God of Death once again pat Liagnel's head. "They'll love it. I've taught the minotaur some human movements to entertain the two kids."
The two of them were watching the two kids from above. The God of Death has been watching the fight for quite some time.
"This kid is promising." It was Fritz, Liagnel was talking about.
The God of Death seems to have agreed to what his messenger said. "I'd rather say that he's one hell of a lucky guy to have 'that' unique skill."
"Yeah. He's putting the skill to good use."
"Fritz it is? How about this kid?" It was Newt the God of Death was pinpointing. "How did he get his hands on the Holy Sword?"
"His name's Newt. He stumbles upon the sword when he was on his way to a raid."
The God of Death was lost in thought for a few seconds. "An Outsider, a
future hero and an outcast, their party's a unique one."
Five days ago, after Fritz killed the last orc, he leveled up and reached his second Rebirth.
[You have Rebirth successfully...]
[You have unlocked Bronze-tier classes.]
[You have unlocked another skill slot.]
[Maximum party number increased by one.]
[Your spatial inventory has improved.]
[You have gained 10 expendable points.]
[The Demon King's Path's description has been unlocked.]
'Just like the first time, my level reverted back to 1. And, just as I expected, I can now use two different skills, using different classes.'
Fritz checked what improved in his inventory. The capacity of the spatial inventory has increased. The items were based on their use were separated into sections. From weapons; Bow, Sword, Spear, etcetera. To potions, armors, and food.
'Demon King's Path? What's it doing here in my inventory?'
[Demonic Karma: 0]
[Collect the evil deeds of every living thing and turn them into Demonic Karma. You can use it to purchase demonic items.]
'The hell?! A Demonic Sword that omits the souls of the living. An Evil Brewed Health Potion that has some side effects. There's everything in here except for food. So, I should just need to collect these orcs' evil karma, right?'
[The amount of Demonic Karma you will collect from each person is based on how cruel, horrible, and evil things they have done.]
'That answers why every black ball is different from the other.' Fritz grabbed one small black karma and, it dispersed from his hand.
[You have collected 3 Demonic Karma.]
'Touching it means collecting the karma. Well, time for some harvest.' The kid began collecting every Demonic Karma the orcs left.
"What's that bastard doing? Did he hit his head earlier?"
'There, I've collected all the evil karma. Time to read the Demon King's Path's description.'
Fritz suddenly felt dizzy. His eyes blurry, and, thus, he fell to the ground. Newt saw him and immediately came to his aid.
"Were you too tired? You would just collapse?" Newt kept Fritz in a comfortable position and let the kid take some rest.
[Please patiently wait as we play the encrypted memories of the past Demon King...]
Fritz awoke in a different body he has no control of. He was just seeing what the owner of the body could see. Demons kneeling from both sides, as the owner of the body made his way towards his throne, they gave respect.
"What's going on? I thought it was just gonna be a description? What am I doing here?"
Sitting on the throne, the Demon King motioned his hand and, every demon stood straight.
"The time has come! Mobilize all demons and prepare for war!"
Fritz's sight went dark. When he came to it, he was holding his Demon Sword and, he was fighting the army of the Holy Empire. The latter consisted of different soldiers from the four Kingdoms united as one to eradicate the threat to humanity, the Demon King.
A brave man in his shining armor appeared. Holding the Holy Sword, the same sword Newt was wielding.
"Well, well, if it isn't my best friend, Hero Aegeus."
Hero Aegeus said the Demon King's name but, it was indistinct. "Where did everything went wrong? Why did you deceived and betrayed us?!"
The Demon Sword and the Holy Sword clashed against each other. It made a blinding light that brought Fritz back to reality.
"What was that?"
[The rest of the memory is currently locked.]
[Demon King's Path]
[Life isn't all about happiness.]
[You have one unique skill that is currently locked. Reach your third Rebirth to unlock the skill.]
[Unique Skill: ???]
[Description: ???]
Going back to the present time, where Fritz and Newt were fighting the minotaur, Liagnel experimented himself.
"Argh!" Lily couldn't hold her frustration anymore. She doesn't want to watch Fritz and Newt's stupidity any longer. "You two are so stupid! Why can't you two kill a minotaur when all it's doing is blatantly charge at you guys!" She walked towards Newt, snatched his sword away and, she gave him a dry look.
"We are still analyzing its movement patterns! Who would have thought that it could do a front flip?! That's not something a minotaur could usually do!"
Earlier, when Fritz gave Newt an opening to land a critical hit, Newt threw a full swing at the minotaur. The monster showed its inhumane reflexes. Just as Newt stated, the minotaur, to avoid getting lacerated, flipped forward.
"W-what?!" That move took them by surprise. "That's not what minotaurs are supposed to do!"
