Chapter 43 - Deal between demon and a god

Next morning in the elemental kingdom's royal academy. A young boy lies on the floor. He was all wet and unconscious. Dying. The reason is that students drowned his head in the toilet for too long. After the bullies realized they went too far, they ran away. They did not call for help because that would get them in trouble.

Isaac noticed this boy and rushed in to revive him. However, something unexpected happened. Isaac saw the young boy stand up on his own. He was wondering, how a dying person recovered so soon. Isaac checked his memories and heard a robotic voice. "Reincarnation system activated - Memories regained in 3...2...1"

"What the hell?" Isaac became confused. This is the first time seeing something like this. What the hell is this? Who revived this boy. He decided to check his memories again, but once again he heard the same robotic voice " Intruder alert. Memory's protection activated"

"Huh?" The more he tried to check this boy's memories, the more confusing it got. This never happened before, how's it possible to hide your memories from a god? And how it is possible to return from death without his help?

After the fourth time, the boy glared at him and spoke. "Dude, you reek of heavenly energy. Makes me wanna puke!"

"You… You can see me?" Isaac stuttered. The boy became even a bigger mystery to him.

"I am not blind you know." the boy answered and then asked. " What the f*** are you, I know you're not a human and deffinetly not a demon. And why are you here?"

"I am a god, I… I wanted to resurrect you, so you could get revenge. Wait, that's not important, how the f*** are you alive?" Isaac was curious. This is the first time he noticed someone resurrect without divine help.

"My memories… Are quite foggy. My… My name is Drake… No, wrong, my name is Royan, I am a demon." The boy scratched his head until it began bleeding.

The system once again reacted. "Host is injured, do you require demonic transformation?"

"Huh?" Both Isaac and Drake showed their surprise at the same time.

"No, not before I understand what's going on," Drake replied. "explain to me, how this system works."

"This system is made by past you, demon king's version of you. So that after you reincarnate, you would be able to regain your memories and power in a short amount of time. As long as you keep your memories getting triggered, you will regain all your memories. Also, the system is working as a balancing tool, due to different personalities."

"Interesting" Isaac was listening. So this is the demon king huh? That's good, really good. "You said your name is Drake right? I mean, human's name."

"Yeah, wait, can you leave me alone. You stink of holy magic!" Drake became frustrated, the holy energy was so strong, he could barely keep up thinking straight.

"Yeah, soon. But how about we make a deal, Drake." Isaac smiled.

"A deal? What kind of deal?" Drake became suspicious. " If you want me to revert into being a goody-two-shoes, forget it"

"Oh, far from it. What I want, is to return your power. I may not be able to return your previous demonic memories, but what I can do, is help you to figure out and understand your previous skills and magic spells." Isaac smiled. He noticed, that memories were blocked by the system when he tried reaching them. However, the lock on his powers and skills was so low, to Isaac, it was non-existent.

"And what's the catch?" Drake was curious. This sounds too good to be true. The man in front of him was good after all.

"You will be yourself. That's all I want. Go party, go on a killing spree. Do whatever you want for all I care." It was a lie. Isaac wanted to help Drake, or should he say Royan. By helping a demon king, Isaac will become a devil much faster than he anticipated.

"Sound's like a good deal to me." Drake smiled. He knew, that Isaac is hiding something. But right now, what was most important to him, was to return to power as soon as possible. After that, he will get revenge on those garbage people, that killed him.

They both shook hands, and golden light invaded Drake's mind. He screamed out of pain, but soon he just stood still and endured it. His body remembered all the torture that happened in hell before he was a king. So his body and spirit became quite durable. If not for his popping out veins, it would seem that the pain he feels is nothing. After the pain was gone, Drake smiled. While Isaac's energy became so corrupt for helping a demon king that he was almost ready to fuse with Jim.

"Thank you" Drake looked at the mirror. His body was almost ready for a transformation. His eyes were already that of a feral fox and the teeth already mutated to have animal fangs.

"No, thank you!" Isaac smiled and vanished from the new reincarnated monster's sight.
