Healer found himself in the same damned white room, no, it was white but it was a little different from before, he looked closely at the floor, then he noticed, there were lines on the floor segmenting the room into a cube pattern, almost like a chamber of sorts
"i was looking in this body and found some interesting things" dreamer said to healer in an arrogant yet calm tone "one of those things was a human soul from the monster-human massacre, what was her name again? Oh yea!" He snaps loudly "it was Mara!"
healer tenses up, over these long years he seems to find that he likes Mara the most [what have you done to her]
"calm down bucko! Man if looks could kill you'd kill-" he thinks for a moment or so "ME!"
[i wish they could] he made a mental note to find someone with the power to kill with a look, he would like that greatly
"your thinking of a way to do that now... aren't you?"
[and if i am?]
he covers his face and laughs "man! You demons must be so arrogant!"
[if we are, we have the strength to back it up] he clenches his fist [im gonna beat you so hard your gonna become a furry]
"... what?"
[nevermind....] why did he say that? Well he wanted to sound cool, but now there was this weird sexual tension that neither of them wanted to break in any way shape or form
dreamer was the first to speak "if your gonna beat me that hard ill.... ill.... i got nothing" but even he was having trouble finding words
[if it makes you feel any better... I'm taken?]
"what" he was astounded, 'who would date this beast of fur-' he saw who in an instant looking through healers memories, while seeing some things he'd rather unsee he did end up fining a word describing his partner 'furry... god.... damnit.... kill me....' now the sexual tension was through the roof, but only for dreamer, healer had no clue dreamer looked into his head "hey, healer"
[what is it?]
"we never speak of this, even after your death"
[agreed, this goes to both of our graves]
they both nodded in agreement, then the tension vanished [wait, kill me? You've tried, but failed every time]
"so? There are a few rings left until i have to give up" he shrugs and sighs "also it may be true you wont die, more go into a full mental retardation"
[oh]
"yea"
[hey i was wondering]
"shoot it off" dreamer makes finger guns
[are you able to steal the powers of the body's you take over and then transfer them to a new body with you?]
"sharp one, well the answer is yes, i could easily so that, but only do that when i need to"
[why is that?]
"i take a part of the person with me and i suspect i do it to often and ill go insane"
[oh really now?]
"the same fate will happen to that puppet of a boy of yours"
[hey! He has free-!]
"its greedy to think things will go your way" he says as he snaps and the next ring is brought upon healer
...
"will!" 'Oh great, he did it again, now where am i?' As healer looked around he saw luxurious mansions and cars everywhere the demons walking about seem to be wearing boushie clothing some demons were in chains and held by leashes and collars "greed, the place of gambling" healer recounted his memories of this place, mainly filled with gambling and women, he regained at the memories, but the remembered 'oh yea, the lust ring has better women' this was true but this will be given at a later date
'First things first' healer thought 'let's see how i measure up to these guys' he runs at a demon at full speed, upon making eye contact a greed demon it pulls a sub machine gun and one of his assumed buddy's pulls an uzi 'I forgot there guys are a pain in the ass, most are weak physically but they have anti demon guns and bullets' as he runs he doges demon A but demon B's uzi happen to graze him a couple of times
demon bullets work by using forgotten symbols and the combined power of the system to bring these anti-demon incantations to life, what they do is burn the demons skin making instant regen impossible and hurt like a bitch, demons used to use swords with anti-demon incantations but it happened that was a double edged sword, pun intended, most demons then saw the invention of guns and adapted them for infighting, that, is how the demon population was kept in control, they kept killed just as many of themselves were born, it was quite convenient for the humans, and maybe that was devised by the system when it first created the demons, you see, the power life's a game was able to alter history so that demons, and even angles always existed, though if this got out, that would mean all religious were full of shit, now, back to the fight
Healers skin burned as he rushed towards the greed daemons, their shots getting more accurate as he was becoming a bigger target, so he ran towards them faster 'this may be counterintuitive to some, but thats why it works' he was minimizing the damage taken and shaking up his opponents and it worked well, he ran up to one and ripped his chest open jumped to the next and ripped out its throat with his jaw
he looked at his handy work in joy, he never got over the thrill of the fight, his blood was always pumping, always on edge, always looking for his next prey, then the hellgate opened and he got out to find his prey, humans! Petty little human! But they ended up slaying him, with a hydrogen bomb, nothing was left, he was forced to become a crystal to survive
After a bit he noticed a casino, nice, maybe he could get some free stuff, casinos here acted as a sort of arcade you could win prizes from, excepts if you lost all your money and went into debt you had to pay it off with back breaking physical labor, remembering the memories, he flinched
he walked in to see black flames that had a humanoid figure meaning each station, he walked up to one
"bleck jeck" it said in a whisky tone
this would do he started to play
...
after an hour and a mild gambling addiction later, he was broke, he was forced to work off the money carrying stacks upon stack of gold bars 'why the hell am i- oh yea' he had tried to fight his way out but it happened that they couldn't be hurt and that trying produced small burns he had to heal off while working, this was truly back breaking work, but one thing that healer knew nothing of was that the game were rigged so you lost frequently, only letting you win for ten rounds to get you going then lose all your money to the casino, why did they do this? So that the ruler could collect less taxes and just take from the casino, a fun face healer remembered was that greed had the most gang wars out of all the rings just because of the fact they were always looking for more money to gamble away, in fact, that is what they spent their money on solely, the houses and cloths were all prizes and ways to show how luck you were, thats all this ring was about "stuff"
...after paying off his debt in another few hours he was back at gambling his life away, determined to win tickets for prizes, eventually after a couple more cycles of dept he found out the pattern and won enough to get a prize, some were guns, one assault rifle and two pistols of high quality and an extra two daggers, with these he probably stood a chance, he had enough to to get a luxury item, a white coat with a fur poof by the neck, he walks out satisfied
once he gets out he decides to confront a small gang of demons, they all start to fire simultaneously, he throws his daggers piercing twos demons head and runs up to one and rips its heart out, after a Monet he jumps off and hits a demon sending it tumbling, he then kicked a demons head exploding its head leaving a small shockwave "BRING IT ON YOU FUCKS"
this spurred the demons into action and they started to shoot at healer, but he was able to dodge, he was getting good at their patterns of attack, he ran up to the gun men and shot them in the heads making sure to use theirs instead of his
after a little bit and a blood covered hand and mouth he retrieves his thrown daggers holstering them
he walks into the demon lords "castle" if it could be called that, it looked more like a moderns mansion, it was actually quite weird, there weren't any guards or anything but then he walked into the main quarters and he saw why
"so you have arrived"
rage filled his eyes as he looked at Mara, tied up and bloodied "oh hoho, you should just go straight to hell, oh wait-" he stopped as he rushed at mammon
"NO INTRODUCTION!?!" Mammon yelled as he shot at healer
healer of course dodged all this, but he lost his mind, he used to call this rage mode, he would only go into this state if he was angry, and even then he had to feel only fury, in this state he let his animalistic instincts take over and he used his full power, but unfortunately using this would make him lose his. Mind you, he usually woke up in random places surrounded by bodies of demons and/or humans
"i see you wont say anything" mammon said as he dodged and weaved, even him having trouble with it mammon unloaded magazine after magazine "are you ever gonna stop" he was getting angry then "AGH" he saw a dagger in his thigh "FUCK"
he unloaded his pistols into mammon
"AHHHH FUCKING HELL"
next the assault rifle
"AHHHHHH.... I'm... surprised I'm alive-"
next stabbed in the head, noticing his opponent to be dead he walks over to Mara and gets close to her
"h-hey, healer... what's wrong?" She said scared
no response as he opens his mouth ready to devour Mara
"h-healer... your scaring me!"
this seemed to have snapped him out of it as he looks at his hands "oh my god... what was i about to do..." he unties Mara "I'm sorr-" he gets a big hug from Mara "OOMPH"
"It's ok now, you have me, ill make sure you'll be ok now, get some rest"
at this command he falls asleep on the bed in mammon's room
///
Mara looks at the sleeping healer and smiles, he may look terrifying but when he gets to know you he's a big softie, at least to mara, in all honestly neither knew why the other liked each other, they were just incompatible, and yet most would describe their relationship as an older sister and younger brother
after an hour mara started to get bored, wondering what to do in the meantime she looked at mammon's body and cut into it, but to her surprise his insides shifted from clouds into organs in mere moments, she was curious now, where they in a dream, or was the body fake, she looked over at healer concerned, then they were both enveloped in white light, she ran to healer and hugged him, after a minute or two they found themselves in a white room, a stranger looking at them, she recoognized him, the one who gave her to her captor
