"I agree," Elijah nodded, "But can you help me with one thing?"
Royan already knew what it was. Elijah wanted vengeance. He wanted to vent his anger, and that put a smile on Royan's face again.
"Don't say it, just go wild and kill everyone you want. After that, I will claim your soul."
For Royan, a person like Elijah was like an invaluable treasure. Elijah inherited the spirit of a saint from his heroic ancestor. So corrupting someone like him, and turning him into a demon. It's like the biggest slap into heaven's face.
Elijah became an evil spirit, by Royan's curse, he was able to touch the mortal world again. For three days and nights, he slaughtered every male human that was unfortunate to get into his eyes. To calm his anger, a tribe of pagans started giving sacrifices of a ram lamb, to quench his thirst for blood.
After those days. Royan tossed Elijah's spirit into "The Cage". While Elijah was already demonized, after killing hundreds of people. He started losing his mind. He has grown cat's ears, cat's tail. His spirit (d)evolved.
However, in the cage he regained sanity. And he only felt regret. Why? Just why he has to suffer like this? In this place, there were nothing else, but burning spirits of sinners. And in this place. He will have to suffer for thousand more years.
"Is this the end?" Elijah thought to himself. There were times where he wanted to just disappear, but now. He felt fear. "I don't want this, I want to exist." And then he heard a voice. "Thomas please, it's my all fault". "Thomas? Who's Thomas? Wait, how can there be people in this place? What in the hell is going on?" Elijah had so many questions. Then he slowly opened his eyes. The room was white, there were two people inside. A person wearing white clothes, and a teenage girl, was crying. What in the hell?
The girl noticed that Elijah opened his eyes. And wanted to jump hug him, however, she changed his mind, due to him being very injured.
"Are you alright Thomas?" She asked, however, she blushed in embarrassment after realizing it was a stupid question. If he was alright… He wouldn't be here in the hospital.
"My head hurts" Elijah replied. And after then he felt like his head will burst open and his eyeballs will fall out due to immense pain. He started having a seizure.
[System updating 8%] – What in the hell is the system? What is going on with me? Elijah felt helpless, while his newly acquired body was in immense pain. He felt worse in hell, however, this body was not used to that, and because of this, he no longer could control his limbs
The girl immediately called for the nurse.
[System updating 100%] – pain finally ended.
[System asked for permission to fuse with the host.
In case of rejection, you will lose your previous reincarnation]
[Accept/Decline]
Elijah thought [Accept]
[Fusing previous memories]
Now he knows. His name is no longer Elijah. He is Thomas Walker, an 18-year-old high schooler. Due to protecting his childhood friend from bullies a few months ago, those people started to target him instead and drove him into suicide. However, this Thomas is no longer the same Thomas who will endure the same suffering. Thomas's demonic nature took over, while he imagined all the painful and torturous ways he could bring those people and he grinned, the same way, how he grinned while killing hundreds of people thousand years ago.
