UNDERGROUND HIGHSCHOOL FACILITY
POV LIAM
OK, what the heck is happening? Like the flames in my hands were and a moment later are black and red. Then the system tagged the skill as [CAIN DEMONIC PYROMANCY] now my head is filled with questions like why did my flame change? Who is Cain? Why me?
I deactivated the flame on my hand and looked toward Aurora and Rey maybe they knew something but when I looked at them they were shocked. "Emh guys, are you ok?" Then Aurora went over to me "Liam are you okay? You don't feel anything strange?" She then started to examine my body in search of injury or whatsoever "Emh I'm ok, I don't feel anything different" She sighed in relief and returned to her spot. From their reaction I can say, they may know something about Cain. "Big sis, Rey do you know someone called Cain?"
When I asked that question they were very worried. I knew it, they knew something. "Liam, how do you know that name?" Asked Rey "When the flame changed it changed the name too. from demonic pyromancy to Cain demonic pyromancy." "Did it say why it changed?" Asked Aurora "Not really" They sighed then looked at me with a sad look "Now Liam listen well. We are going to tell the story of the strongest and most evil Demon that ever existed."
{THE DEMON CAIN ORIGIN}
A long time ago, after the first humans, Adam and Eve were banished from Heaven they started a family of their own. They had 2 children, the firstborn Cain and the second-born Abel. One day these 2 brothers were tasked to bring a sacrifice to the gods and whoever made the best sacrifice would have been blessed by the gods. both of them did their very best trying to make the best effort they could. In the end, Abel was the one who got the god's blessing, Cain was furious not with Abel but with the gods, because they didn't deem his sacrifice worth. In a moment of anger, he tried to attack one of the gods present but was stopped immediately, The gods saw this as an act of insolence and cursed Cain by transforming him into a demon and put a Mark on him that made him immortal, the mark could not be removed as in a way to make sure he learned his lesson meanwhile, Abel was granted the possibility to become an Angel and he accepted. But that was their grave mistake.
After that incident, Cain started to learn how to use Demonic magic, when he learnt the demonic pyromancy it wasn't enough for him he wanted to make it more powerful, so he trained for many centuries and after a long time he was able to create his own demonic fire, It was so strong that far surpassed even the destructive power from the dragon race. He became very strong and started to fight everyone from angels to demons even the dragons, his objective was to conquer the world. The battle was long and brutal the 3 races had lost many people while Cain was getting stronger, in the end, they found another way instead of killing him they would have sealed him. So the 3 leaders of the 3 races at the time poured all their strength together and were able to seal Cain away, for all eternity.
{END OF THE STORY}
"So this is the story of Cain" I started to think about it, I can understand why he would want revenge against the gods but was worth it? "Liam I think you already know it, but it's better to use the fire magic only as a last resource" "Yes, you are right. If the others came to know I could use this kind of flames many people could get in danger" Rey saw how the atmosphere was getting heavy, so he decided to change the argument "Emr Liam, how about we try another spell to see how it works?" "Yes sure" "You already know how it works try to do it yourself" I nodded and did the same as before, and started to think. What Kind of spell I should try, what could be useful to me then I started to think about myself, I'm a demon now so I should be weak against light and Holy magic, if it's like in games and stories. Mhmhmh. I have 2 possibilities but I'm not sure about 1 because I don't know how to imagine it. So I'll go with the other option...
I can feel it...the darkness... I open my eyes to see a black with some purple parts ball of darkness in my hand

Yes, It's worked I then looked toward Aurora and Rey to see both of them surprised "Eh the umbramancy, I didn't expect that. The shadow is really hard to use but I am sure you will learn fast since I'm your big sis and I will help you the best I can" Said Aurora proudly, "Well thank you big sis" "Liam is there any reason on why you choose shadow magic?" Asked Rey "Well I first thought about my weakness as a demon, normally they are weak against light and sacred power." "So you wanted to counter them," said Rey finishing my sentences "Yes that's right, but I'm still not sure how to counter the holy magic." "Well we have a way to counter the holy magic and we will teach you in the future, instead the light magic is not a weakness." "Eh Really?" "That right," said Aurora "There's even a clan of demons that mastered the light magic." I should ask them about the other kind of magic. "Aurora Rey, is there any way to use some kind of anti-magic or similar?" both of them started to ponder about it. "Well, many people tried to create some kind of antimagic spell, but no one ever succeeded in the end they were able only to create some item" "Oh ok thank you" "OK today is enough for the spell, we will start physical training now." Said Rey we stood up, and Aurora made some steps back, then made a katana appear from nowhere (strange I can feel some kind of mana from the katana but it's different from Rey's mana) Nevertheless I got the sword out of the inventory and got into a stance "Let's go Liam" "Yes vice-president" then I went toward Rey ready to strike.
