Chapter 57 - Envy kills

The man was surprised by the success of the demon, to have overpowered his own, and with no ability's at that, this meant he had superb strength on his own and didn't use his own powers as an amplifier, but then why, he wondered, was the boy so weak when not using his power and boosters, he did some digging and found some old videos caught on CCTV cameras of his fights and he always seemed to be useless without his powers, and the fact that after the sinkhole incident ended with the report noticing him without his reapers necklace suggested he died, as he described his powers were nullified, and he died, but why wasn't the demons strength inherited? Then he also found something strange, the boy had purchased 2 unknown items from when the black market was still illegal to go to, the transcription stated he bought, one demon heart and one demon eyeball, what he did with these procured items is unknown, but as he dug deeper he learned that the boy had found ingestible boosters to gain power from, and how he used these items was through digestion, honestly the thought was morbid, even for him to what he was concluding, but that seems to be the only explanation for these events and as to why they're missing, on another note, he found it interesting as to how he described finding the demon booster in the first place, he said 'it felt like it was calling to me' then the article described how people attacked also looking for the stone, but were quickly killed by him, he was quickly made a prisoner but that was soon vetoed by someone of high power, so he was able to walk away scot free, he even stopped aging, so he was able to illegally enter a specialized high school for hero's and ended up winning the tournament they held there, this boy has been all over the place, slowly influencing the world around him, honestly it was quite extraordinary and Awe inspiring, until you realized he could only do this through the power of that booster, and yet it seems to be taking of the boys body slowly yet surly, he also noticed something off about the boys records, they always referred to him as marsh, and yet that wasn't his birth name, the name that he uses was an alias in the monster-power killings incident, but after looking long and hard he was unable to find his real name, its like he never existed until he got that booster-

[so, you found out he has no name, huh?]

"it would appear that i did"

[well ill have the system explain]

"system?"

{i will explain}

"WOAH" he held his head as sounds and words filled his mind, it hurt quite a bit, and yet it was sort of addicting, in a way

{the boy !&*$%# lost his name due to *&%%#%^'s power of *^&^%^%, but the residue energy of the demon we shall call "healer" was able to somewhat repair the damage done to him, slowly giving him back his free will, when he absorbed "healer" he was being fully repaired, but as that happened an error accrued and i, the system, was boosted in power in the boy !&&^% and was able to reach the same to similar level of the power holder of "life's a game" because of this when the power holder of "life's a game" died the power found the boy *&%%^& holding me, the "(hidden)" power of 'knock off games a life' and latched on waiting to become "(true)" power of 'life's a game: the sequel' that is the basic information on *&&^%^$^}

....... "uhhhhhhhhh, what?"

{the boy !&*$%# lost his name due to *&%%#%^'s power of *^&^%^%, but the residue energy of the demon we shall call "healer" was able to somewhat repair the damage done to him, slowly giving him back his free will, when he absorbed "healer" he was being fully repaired, but as that happened an error accrued and i, the system, was boosted in power in the boy !&&^% and was able to reach the same to similar level of the power holder of "life's a game" because of this when the power holder of "life's a game" died the power found the boy *&%%^& holding me, the "(hidden)" power of 'knock off games a life' and latched on waiting to become "(true)" power of 'life's a game: the sequel' that is the basic information on *&&^%^$^}

"I KNOW" he shouted in anger, the 'system' hurt his head when it spoke, how did the boy bear this awe full pain!?!

[well there you have it, now how do you feel?]

"i feel like i want to take some Tylenol..." Tylenol appears in his hand

{Tylenol x1 given}

... "this is a mind scape, i coulda done that myself"

{noted}

"better be, wait... since when were we at the beach?" He looked around noticing that the three (excluding the bodyless system) were at the beach sitting in beach chairs looking at the ocean, sunset in sight ocean waves calmly waving sounds of the sea soothing their ears

[i like the beach, its one of the cool places on earth, even if my brethren don't agree with me] the demons voice, now called healer broke the calm soothing scene entirely

"maybe its best you dont talk"

[...]

they surrounded themselves in each others scilence, ad miring the beach as it was intended calmly and peace fully, there was no feeling like the one they felt right now, no hostilities in place, but that only lasted for a moment

[so, am i free no-]

the man who liked to call himself dreamer, while he stares into the sunset he revels at the fact he's the world number 10 assassin for hire, and that he was contracted to take over the kid known as 'marsh's body, he thought it would be an easy fast take over, but nope, he had to have a demon of all things in his brain

///

"-w?" 'Wait... where am i!?' He looks around at the housing, all the houses dont match the other some show different signs of wealth and scatter themselves, as he looks around the hellscape full of fire poverty and wealth he saw more demons, or foes, they all walked by themselves no one following the other, every demon looked different, it took him a full couple minutes to realize where he was "ENVY" 'I missed this place' he shad a tear, the reason for this was simple, while he lived in hell envy was the only place you could accurately measure your strength, as there was always one demon stronger then the other, so you start out with the weakest, which is what he was gonna do

...

after an hour he found it, the weakest, he was huddling against a wall holding his stuff close to him, he was looking at every other demon with contempt, he grabbed the demons throat "so you'll die how you lived, huh?"

it gags a wheezes clawing at healer but doing no damage

"a pathetic little shit"

a loud crack can be heard from afar, drawing demon from around a mile away to see who beat who, you never saw one help the other out, just as you saw no one content with where they were everyone envied each other leaving no room for kindness, hell, it didnt leave room for talking, why envy another on their communication skills? That is why this part of hell was known as the silent mans hellscape, as the demons approached healer grew cautious "ganging up on me huh? Well ant that no fair" he looks around As he notices that there are at the very least 5 people who out class him, he didnt feel like dying to today, unfortunately for these demons, he ran towards the weaker looking side grabbing to demons head "i remember a retro game my host played! KICK UP THE DOOM MUSIC"

///

... dreamer would entertain the demon this once

///

the doom music kicks in as he slams the two demons heads together causing brains to splatter all over the walls "OH YEA BABY" he yells as he twists a demons neck 180 degrees, his blood was pumping like it never had before, he ran up to a demon readied his leg and smashed its head inwards, the crunch it made was sickening and almost made a few and did make a couple throw up "it'll be gross but who cares!" He runs up to the vomiting demon and shoves his fist up the demons mouth and goes through the demons head "OH HELL YEA" the weaker demons see this onslaught a couple crapped their pants, some wetted themselves, but one tapped him on the shoulder, as he looked that way he was slugged in the cheek and sent flying into a wall, he was seeing stars as he tried to get up, no demons helped the stronger demons, afraid of getting hurt themselves by a new opponent

...

after a while the demon wakes up and slowly walks around stumbling and barely catching himself on the walls on the buildings, then hw sees a bar named 'es strongere' he remembers this bar quite fondly as he visited this one most often, he opens the door hearing that familiar jingle, of course it was empty, 'I bet that man is using these as "save slots" or something, he then notices the beverages downing them, at least the red ones

... after a long rest he looks in the cupboards and finds the drinks, you see, the bars in this world acted as stat improvers, he finds a bottle named "regen" and downs it, he feeling himself slowly gain power, its weak but its there, further more, they also gave one unique ability's and ways to improve those powers, he downs some brown ones, he feel much stronger and can see bulging muscles, the blue one and he can feel his speed grow, next and last the green one, he drinks it and feels energized, you see, aside from ability's one could gain, red was heath, brown was strength, blue while thinking it could be mana was actually agility and speed, and green was the typical stamina, as most would guess his usually beverages were the brown and the blue, he never needed to upgrade stamina because he was for some reason born with excess amounts and paying for the drinks just wasn't worth it, but if he didnt have to pay it wouldn't hurt to try

... after some fights and a lot of walking he enters the demon kings quarters, he finds a giant basilisk "leviathan, been a while, huh?"

"it quite has old friend, but it seems as of now i cannot call you that can i?"

"Afraid not, I'm here to slay you, but worry not, the real you will be fine and dandy, also, maybe ill make my host get some tea and crumpets with you" it was trues that as weird as it sounds, leviathan made a mean tea and crumpets and help parties of the "tea" kind for his friends, he was quite unique as a demon king

"well then, i bet the real me would love that" he rushes at healer at immense speed

healer braces for impact and grabs leviathans gaping jaw holding it open and planting his feet in the ground, after a couple seconds of sliding he cannot bear the pain anymore and jumps into leviathans mouth getting swallowed

"!?!?!?!??! WHAT" leviathan was very confused

but after a minute he was confused no longer as he felt something digging through his flesh at an incredible rate, eventually a figure emerged covered in black blood "BOOYA" healer runs up leviathans back and digs his hands into his skull breaking in tearing out the brains

... he pants on the ground thinking 'man, i really want some tea, maybe i should get my host to go' he's then enveloped in a beam of light and disappears
