Chapter 5 - System? What should i do

Thomas stared at the system's message unamused. What's wrong he wondered.

[You should remember, there is a thing called "Law" in this world, if you kill someone here in public, you will be arrested. You're too weak for now.]

So, in your opinion, what should I do?

[Play your part. Regain all the memories of your demonic version, become the strongest one in this world]

What do you mean, I thought I have all my previous memories.

[Far from it. As I said before, you lost memories of both lives. Not to mention older memories.]

What?!? Older memories?

[Did you think this was your first reincarnation?]

I… I don't know.

[Definitely not. And I am here, to help you recover all those lost memories]

Thomas was speechless.

[ Did you think that becoming physically strong, makes you powerful? Humans have many powerful magical weapons, that could erase you from existence faster than you could blink, does this explain WHY you shouldn't act out like you did when you became an evil spirit?]

….

[Listen to me. I will help you. I will make you adapt to this world, regain all the memories, of your most powerful lifetimes, just listen to me, and you will be a demon king in no time]

Demon king… I wasn't even allowed to be in regular hell, and now you want me to become one of their rulers?

[ No one from regular hell ever became a demon king. In fact, no mortal soul ever became a demon king before. You will be the first. A demon king first must undergo a trial of "The Cage" for thousands of years, until he adapts to that place, after he is no longer suffering inside "The Cage", that place will spit soul out, due to it no longer being able to suck out any energy from the person. This is the reason Royan broke the rules, and took you in, instead of your sister. He has high hopes for you.]

Huh?

[Do you hate Royan? Do you want revenge for what he did to you?]

No. I only hated him, for maybe the first hundred years in "the Cage". However, I even blamed my sister when I was suffering. Even if he didn't do that in hopes of me becoming a demon king. Even if he did that, just for entertainment. I would have done the same thing I suppose. Entertainment is important for a demon after all]

His conversation took hours in his mind. However, in real life, it was only a mere moment.

His mother still looked terrified. And that did put a smile on Thomas's face.

" Dear mother, are you alright? Shall we go? I hope I didn't scare you too much" Thomas teased her.

However, she called his father to pick them up, saying that she feels unwell and that she doesn't feel like being able to drive anymore. His father came 20minutes later. He took a bus to come here. He was very angry that he had to leave work 2 hours early. But unlike Thomas's mother, he didn't let his frustration take over in a public place. They all drove in silence, while Thomas's mother was still a bit shaky due to the immense horror that Thomas killing intent showed her. In about 20minutes, they were finally home. And Thomas knew what was waiting for him, he couldn't control his facial muscles, and once again his face light up with a devilish smile.
