It had already been hours from when the three friends focused on anything around them. Though they were out in the wild, it seemed to be more quite and peaceful.
After arranging their thoughts, the three friends finally opened the "Handicap".
'Open'
'Open'
'Open'
Completely in sync, their thought's opened the "handicap". Similar to the message sent by Lucifer, a black transparent 2 dimensional rectangle appeared out of thin air.

Target: [Herold Juniper] ]
'Hmm.'
'Its like those mmorpgs menu thingy'
'Its called a status screen you dolt!'
The handicap was extremely helpful for them or so what Daniel thinks. It gives them information about what they have and their own physical well being.
'What's identity?'
Stephen asked.
[Identity: Titles, Names, or any form of identification used by the world's people towards the host]
'I see'
Having the identity being blank meant no one knew them. They didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
'Guess our family won't be in this "Gaia" huh'
Stephen had a saddened tone. Although he spent hours contemplating about it, it still couldn't help him feel any less grieved.
'Well... were dead men walking in the world of the living, its sad that we don't have a family anymore but at least we are family'
'Thanks Jerry'
They didn't know why the topic changed. But it was best that they avoid it for now. Daniel couldn't really speak in the same level as the two as his family disowned him, he was basically living his own life and was actually being successful.
Changing the topic as quickly as possible, Jeremy asked a question.
'What's this... Talent?'
[Talent: Gift, power, or a blessing given to individuals from either birth or through achievements.]
'Then why is my talent lock?'
[Individual Jeremy Wade is currently not the main host of the body]
It explained that Jeremy Wade cannot have his talent used as the current main host is Daniel, therefore Daniel's talent, skills, and abilities, are being used.
'Wait! You said 'currently not the main host' which means control over the body is transferable?'
[ Yes, as long as the current main host agrees to your request.]
Control over the body was transferable according to the thing.
'Hey thrisix, What's [Colony Emperor]?' Said Stephen.
'Thrisix?'
'question mark?'
[Colony Emperor: A Talent that gives the user the powers to create an egg and place it on another living entities body for incubation. It can spawn an entire army given enough time]
'So basically the alien?'
'Hey we're not just gonna ignore thrisix!'
'What does that even mean?!'
Daniel and Jeremy was surprised on what Daniel's talent can do but they wanted to know what Thrisix is.
'Well since it came from Satan, i named it Thrisix or Thrice six which is 666.'
'Sounds... kinda nice actually.'
Daniel didn't argue on naming the "Handicap" as Thrisix.
'Thrisix, who is our target?'
Everything else was self explanatory like status and skills, plus Daniel wanted to skip the [Egg Production] and [Impregnation] abilities.
The black screen appeared in front them again and gave a picture of a man. Ash coloured hair, golden eyes, a handsome face, and milky white skin. He wore leather armour with metal pauldrons, gauntlet, and greaves. A sword was on his side and a bow and quiver on his back, he had a blue pendant that gave a feeling of gazing onto the cosmos.
[ Herold Juniper: Current target. He is an adventure on the town several miles from this area, he stole a necklace from a godly entity of this world and now the reaper cannot harm therefore giving him a sense of immortality. Herold has avoided the flames of Hells many times over. ]
'So he basically cant die of old age?'
[ Yes ]
Stephen was disappointed. Their target was basically a normal person who gained the power to live for years, and that was a sin punishable by death? How?.
'Why is he a target? just because he stole from a god doesn't mean he should die for it.'
[ Host Stephen is correct. The target isn't punished not because of the stolen artifact but because of the stolen time. Herold Juniper has lived for countless centuries and have committed inhumane crimes, He has avoided punishment and the pain of retribution for far too long. ]
Herold Juniper was an adventurer who wandered the world for centuries. There were times where he killed the innocents, times where he help the innocents, and times he ignored the innocents. Lucifer wanted Herold to feel the the pain of those who he wronged.
'So he's a far away place from here... i guess it's time we do some preparations. If we're gonna live in this world, lets live it right.'
A bright light shone from the horizon. The morning sun has began to rise, and with this the first day of their new life began.
Daniel began walking towards the forest and out of the open plains.
'Wait... Thrisix, what's [Egg Production] and [Impregnation]?'
[ Egg Production: An ability that allows the user to create a fertile egg.
Impregnation: An ability that allows the user
Impregnate a living entity to incubate the egg. Depending on the impregnated creature, the hatchling may gain additional strength and power. ]
'Hahahahaha!'
'Hahahahaha!'
"What are you two laughing at!"
While the two laughed, Daniel was ashamed of his power.
'You're a smut!'
'Hahahahaha!'
"Shut up!"
It wasn't funny, but depending on your type of friends, you can basically laugh at anything. What infuriated Daniel even more was that he was also beginning to find it funny.
'Wait... Thrisix, Doesn't that mean Daniel will become a mother once he successfully hatches an egg?'
[ Yes ]
'Bwahahaha!'
'Stop! i c-cant-bwahahahaha'
"Im surrounded by idiots."
****
It took them hours to finally figure out they were naked. Daniel tried as much time hiding behind the tree line as possible.
"Couldn't we have started with clothes?! The devil can literally resurrect as but cant create clothin-"
Before he could finish his sentence, a wooden wagon smashed itself onto the ground.
"WHAT THE HELL!"
'WOAH!"
All three of them were surprised by the sudden surprise.
The wagon had barrels and crates, its wheels were smashed by the sudden impact of hitting the ground. Two injure on top of the wagon, a middle aged man and a woman wearing light armour.
Blood was everywhere as the man and woman's legs were torn off and their arms twisted in weird angles.
"The..."
'Oh god...'
It was gruesome, both victims locked completely pitiful. What on earth managed to create such a scene.
*Flap* *Flap* *Flap*
Red skin, curved horns on its head, long bat like wings, large tusks on its moth, a lower half that resembled a goat, a body the size of a tank, and pitch black eyes.
[ Sup, Satan again. Needed clothing and food right? Devil Deliver is at your service. Those barrels and crates contain everything you'll need. As for the humans... Well they'll be helping with your abilities. If you ever spare them or kill them then ill give you a long and painful ride back to hell. ]
If Satan was here, then he'd have a wide grin.
By now Daniel already knew what his "Talent" could do. Just by comparing it with the alien for the Aliens movie. If he was to use his abilities on them, they would die upon birth of the "hatching".
"I..."
Faced with a tough choice Daniel couldn't really dodge or avoid this situation. It was either they die again or do satan's biding.
Morality has always been etched into the human minds since birth. Right and wrong, two sides of the same coin. When humans pick a side it was usually the first option but what now? what can Daniel, Stephen, or Jeremy do?
