BEEP!
Lucas frowned as he studied the watch that had been worn on his arm. It was black in colour and had a single screen with the number '10' flashing rapidly.
"What is this for?" Lucas asked in confusion, he had just fought with a legendary being and the guild were putting a tracking device on him?!
"Oh, it's the guild's head who introduced them to us." Lily said.
"..."
Lucas remained silent, the confusion in his mind growing as he thought more about the watches.
"They made them for all the guild members, it shows your current C-points amount." Lily explained to Lucas with her hands crossed.
Lucas yawned, then, jumped off the bed with his eyes lowered to the ground and his face showing deep contemplation.
Lily followed with her body shifting into something more human. Her once pointy ears had turned human, her sharp teeth had turned as blunt as a normal human beings, and the white started to return to her eyes.
Lucas opened his wardrobe, it was empty, dust had settled on the bottom of the wardrobe and the empty hangers glared back at Lucas.
"You'll need a change of clothes." Lily said with a serious expression.
Lucas had no option than to accept his fate, what could probably go wrong in this world?
Well, thinking back to what happened inside a simple black gate, everything could go wrong.
----
Various hideous looking creatures where running at an abnormal speed towards a group of people who were clothed in red from head to toe.
One of them was a boy about Lily's height, he was holding a silver lance with the words 'death bringer' engraved upon the blade.
"King Kage, these demons had separated from the main horde, according to our scouts they seem to be attracted to Deathbringer's immense power." A tall man with a sturdy build said in a deep voice.
Kage didn't speak, he was focused on the wave of creatures coming at them, if one looked hard enough they would see that Kane's body was shaking from excitement.
"At our current strength, we are able to take them on head on, but if the attack persists we would be injured slightly." The man warned Kage, he knew anytime Kage was silent, it means he was hungry for blood.
"How long can we hold the horde of until father arrives?" Kage finally managed, his words filled with influence, the power to affect one's behaviour with the help of charisma.
"About eight to seven weeks, blood will be split Kage, we have to be ready for the worst." The tall man was serious as he spoke, no hesitation in his voice, he may sound cruel, but that was the truth.
This plane of reality existence is based on fear, the fear of the unknown had kept the inhabitants of the centre plane in their places.
War between gods would break out here and there, but the story are always the same.
The weakest becomes the strongest and joins the gods to protect the plane, a circle of immortal power.
"Well, tell everyone to transfigurate, we take no chances whatsoever." Kage sounded like the royalty he was meant to be, and from his composure he was good at it.
Kage took a deep breath as he walked elegantly for the fight of his life.
"Where are you sister."
----
Lily felt a sudden drop in her lifeforce, she staggered forward, but quickly grabbed Lucas's clothes to stop herself from toppling over to the ground.
"Brother, what have you done?" Lily wanted to grasp her chest to help her with the excruciating pain she felt.
"Lily?" Lucas turned to hold Lilly who had almost collapsed to the ground, her entire body was as cold as a corpse again.
The fear of Lily reverting back to what she once was drove Lucas to pick her up, and dash into their dorm giving some staring hunters the wrong impression.
"Look how close his face is to hers, something must be going on between them!" A female hunter whispered to a male hunter beside her.
Lucas ignored them all, he wouldn't have helped Lilly if she hadn't been a member of his team, anything strange would be pinned on both of them.
Immediately Lucas dropped Lily on the bed, she started thrashing about violently, her demonic features returned to her as she lost her concentration.
Suddenly Lucas had a vague idea of what was going on, with no time to waste, he made a cut on his arm with Darksteel and allowed the blood to drip into Lily's mouth.
[Lifeforce transferred!]
Lucas froze as his eyes fell upon the words which shocked him the most.
[Hp: 15/20]
"What the..."
Lily had finally stopped thrashing about in her bed, she seemed to have finally fallen asleep.
Lucas was shocked, his blood could do that?
"Status." Lucas said with a lot of questions in his head.

[King tier demon core: (absorb)?]
[Yes/No]
Lucas was shocked at the message now before his eyes, one he never thought was possible.
[You have reached level 5!]
[Would you like to evolve?]
He would have never dreamed of this to happen, suddenly Lucas felt a heavy weight being lifted from his shoulders.
He had once fear of reaching his peak and being unable to grow beyond, but this system had solved all these problems for him.
He would evolve at his peak, and continue to grow, evolving whenever he reaches his limit and getting stronger than any demon out in the world.
Lucas clenched his fists, all his hopes of ever being a hero were dashed, why can't he just be what he is?
He is a demon, and he has to accept that, at one point or another they might turn on him, and the choice will be onto Lucas.
To fight with demons or fight with humans, one way or another, he will have to pick a side.
The question is, what side would he stand on?
