*Sigh*
'Beauty, you will not suffer long. I promise to make you happy'.
Jozef was impatient to return to his room. He had many things to do, buy the technique to control demons, eat the fruit that Alice gave him and wanted to investigate the affinity crystal.
He quickly got to his room, he sat cross-legged on the bed and the first thing he did was buy the technique.
"System buys the Demon Heart Technique."
[You have acquired Demon Heart Technique]
[-500 DP]
[DP: 30]
A scroll appeared in his hands after taking it out of storage.
.- Plant a seed of light inside the heart of the demon. The heart of the demon plays a fundamental role in the functioning of the body of the evil being since the demons do not have a soul.
Although the indications called it a seed, it was actually a magical rune. The demon has to voluntarily lower his defenses or be injured enough for the user to introduce the rune with the help of the light element and his blood.
The magical rune lodges in the demon's heart and makes it a faithful servant. His thoughts are corrupted and the reason for his existence will be to serve his master.
The manual also detailed how to draw the rune, the shape, the amount of mana, and the flow of energy.
Jozef dove into understanding the technique. By the time he finished, 1 and a half days had passed. His stomach was rumbling, so he left his room intending to eat something and seeing his lovely mother.
The moment he entered the kitchen, all the maids blushed when they saw him. He evoked some memories and discovered the reason. All the junior servants had passed through his bed.
'That guy was causing a lot of trouble.'
"I want to eat something. Please take the food to the dining room."
He went to the dining room and waited.
After a few minutes, they brought the food. Everything was going well until a woman with black hair and red eyes walked into the dining room and sat across from him.
The woman was Stephanie Blodzky, a vampire. Although her skin was pale, her face was beautiful, she had a healthy and well-proportioned body that exuded a heavy aura of blood.
'System description'
[Description]
> Name: Stephanie Blodzky
> Age: 114
> Race: Demon
> Lineage: Vampire
> Level: 19 – True Demon.

> Weakness: Ozhrilium, Light.
'System. What do you mean by true demon?'
The system explained to him.
Humans classify demons by levels, but even they have names for cultivation. For example, demons from level 1 to 9 are rankless demons. From level 10 to 18 the name is Demonic Origin. From level 19 to 27 it is True Demon. From level 28 to 39 it is Demonic Infant…
"Why are you looking at me so much?" Stephanie smiled.
"I wonder where your sister is. You are inseparable."
"Oh. She went out with my mother. They had some business to take care of outside the city. Why haven't I seen you in the last few days?"
Stephanie tried to change the conversation. She didn't want to talk about her sister.
"I was too drunk. She couldn't stand up"
"Why didn't you use mana to cleanse her system?" asked the vampire curiously.
"Why do that? If I drink wine, it is because I want to be drunk. Jozef smiled.
A beautiful smile spread across Stephanie's face. "haha that makes a lot of sense, Jozef. Did you think about what I told you?"
5 years ago Stephanie tried to seduce Jozef, but she failed. The previous Jozef hated demons more than anything. He preferred to fuck the maids and not this beautiful woman. Since then, that rejection became a shadow in the vampire's heart. She could force it, but her father would punish her. So she offered him resources in exchange for him becoming her lover.
'This is the perfect opportunity to try out the Demon Heart Technique.'
Jozef pretended to think for a few seconds before answering.
"What kind of resources do you offer me?"
Stephanie was caught off guard, she doesn't expect him to finally agree.
"Really?"
He nodded.
"One D-grade Wind Magic Fruit per month. What do you think?" She couldn't help but smile with a victorious air.
Magical fruits help the mage increase mastery over an element or mana level, some fruits can take the mage directly to the next level. Fruits are classified into SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, and F.
"It's a good offer. To seal the deal, I want you to answer one question."
Stephanie became alert. "What kind of question?"
Jozef smiled. "Don't worry, it's nothing complicated. My mother gave me a grade B fruit, 5-seeded heavenly fruit a few days ago. Do you know how she got it? I remember that fruit was in your mother's possession."
"I…" Stephanie had a complicated expression on her face.
"Tell me, I won't blame you."
The young woman relaxed a bit. "Your mother knelt down for one day, outside my parents' room, to ask for that fruit"
Jozef hit the table and got to his feet. "WHAT? Why would she do that? Once again he had to pretend to be upset so as not to arouse suspicion.
"In 3 months, an inheritance cave left behind by a powerful human will open. Only those under 30 can enter. I guess your mom wants you to have a chance."
"Chance?. That's just an illusion, I bet the big devils will be there to take away everything we earn within the inheritance." Jozef smirked. "Mother shouldn't have done that."
'Hahahaha everything I earn will be saved in system storage. I want to see how those idiots take something from me.' His thoughts were the complete opposite of his words.
Stephanie couldn't have cared less. "Regarding our deal?"
"In a week, at night I will leave the door of my room open."
Jozef finished his breakfast, went back to his room and started cultivating.
'That woman has done a lot for me, even though I am not her son. I can't let her down, not to mention that it's a great opportunity to strengthen myself.
The sun went down and a huge purple moon hung in the sky. After meditating for 10 hours a small explosion occurred inside Jozef.
'I broke through'.
'System shows my stats'.

'System, if I consume the 5-Seed Heavenly Fruit, can I become a Rookie Magician? and how long will it take?'
[Yes host. 5 hours…]
[Host I recommend you to convert demonic points into mana points, 10 DP equals 1 unit of mana].
'You're right. If I gain 300 DP and convert it, I can reach level 9 and then use the fruit to become a level 3 rookie mage.
"I'd better go hunting."
Jozef left the palace, went to the slums with the intention of killing demons and testing the Demon Heart Technique on low-level demons.
He walked for a few minutes before activating cloak and plunging into the dark alleyways where demons drank blood and ate human parts.
After 40 minutes, he accumulated 310 PD.
'I think it's time to capture a demon and practice the special technique.'
He soon captured an Ignus blaze demon. She beat him half dead.
'System'.

The young man approached the demon who was lying unconscious on the ground, used his blood as ink to carve the rune on the demon and recited the spell, "Xcapou cor deamoni" the light element penetrated the demon's skin.
"Ahgrrrr…" the demon regained consciousness and let out a terrifying scream.
After screaming for a few seconds the demon exploded.
"Shit, I failed."
Jozef didn't stop and kept looking for demons.
"Xcapou cor deamoni…"
"Xcapou cor deamoni…"
After 3 attempts, there was finally no explosion. The badly wounded demon knelt down and lowered his head.
"Master".
"Finally," the young man fell on his butt while he gasped. "ha... ha... I didn't think it would be this difficult."
He looked at the demon and said. "Tomorrow at 10 pm see you in this place. I want you to gather 5 devils of your level."
"Yes master".
The camouflage was about to wear off, so he ran back to the palace. He entered his room, lay down on the bed, and immediately fell asleep.
Using the technique not only consumed mana, it also drained blood from him.
