The next morning, Jake sat inside his room on his high-back chair, listening to the priests who were kneeling on the floor below.
"My Lord, there are no virgin girls left."
"Hmm, I know. It's been more than a month. How are the believers in the villages?" Jake asked.
The three priests Noah, John and Carlson looked at each other. They all said in unison: "We have successfully converted them, Lord."
"Good, good." Jake stood up from his chair and paced around on the raised floor.
As the villagers were worshiping the 'Lord' instead of the 'God', people coming from other places wouldn't know what was happening that easily.
Jake was planning to add a cult leader now, but no one around him qualified for that position. He wanted a 2nd Circle Priest at the very least. With the cult leader, he could manipulate the villagers more.
Such as having secret gatherings.
'Where I'll fuck every single woman I desire.' Jake was turning into a complete mad lad. A cautious, meticulous, and utterly evil mad lad.
"Stand up," he said and walked down the raised floor.
He went behind them and patted the backs of the priests one by one. Soon, whispers resounded in the core chamber as he told the three men about his plan.
They thought he was putting high importance on them. Their zealous eyes glinted with crazed lights.
"Praise the Lord!" they all chanted in unison when Jake finished speaking.
After they left, Jake went to his room. A large wooden bed was at the center of the chamber. Elena, Rose, Vin and Niru were coiled on the bedsheets. Waiting for him, naked.
A month and a half later, their tummies had grown. After he filled their fertile wombs with his cum until their pussies were dripping, they were bound to get pregnant.
Jake hadn't fucked them in weeks. Not that he had any aversion towards having sex with pregnant women. He had been busy. Today he was rather free, so he decided to do them the service they were too afraid or shy to ask.
He had heard that pregnant women have tighter canals and tender breasts.
Jake undressed and hung his clothes on the hangers. He approached the bed with a hard cock.
"Come here, Rose. Massage me," he called as he climbed on the bed. His knees sunk on the soft bedding.
Rose understood what he meant and crawled towards him. Carrying her heavy breasts, she mushed Jake's dick with them. Realizing that her boobs had gotten bigger and softer, Jake rubbed Rose's cheeks.
Vin pouted and came closer. Niru also followed the fit woman. She wanted to prove she was just as good as her mother. As a teen girl, Niru was more prone to mood swings than a normal woman.
Jake pulled her by her hand. Grabbing her waist, he slid his hand down and rubbed her pussy. Well look at that, she was wet already.
Below him, Vin squashed his balls with her breasts. These chest lumps of hers had grown by a cup size.
"Come, Elena." Jake rubbed the blonde woman's belly. She opened her mouth, and they began kissing.
With his free hand, he kneaded her plump ass.
Easy moans resounded in the room as Jake effortlessly began pleasuring the four women.
The other pregnant girls were not here recently. Amelia and Yunna were with the Dark Witch in her experimental chamber. Riri, Diana, and the two 2nd Circle Priestesses were doing the job Jake had assigned to them.
Such as directing the kobolds who were mining on the 15th floor, cooking in the newly made kitchen, and assisting Perry with planning the drainage system connected to the underground river.
Irene, Erin, and Perry were not pregnant. They were far too useful for him currently, so he couldn't weaken them.
Despite fucking around, Jake knew how to handle things better. Of course, after the 9 women gave birth, their turn would come. Jake was also waiting for Isa and the harpies to lay eggs.
He wouldn't have to worry about the monster girls, but Jake had to bring some village women as midwives when others give birth.
However, that was only after 9 months. For now, he could keep fucking.
…
Jake spent the evening looking for a new weapon. He had about twenty thousand points which he had not used after buying the flight skill.
Jake had filled his dungeon with monsters, so he could stack the points now. Not wanting to use them on leveling his skills, his choice was to buy a new weapon.
The scythe he had was too low-grade for him. Jake had bought it for less than a thousand points. He'd been short on Evil Points at that time, but now that he was 'rich,' it was time to buy a new scythe.
Jake had his eyes on a Unique grade weapon which could last a long time. However, even now his points weren't enough. Jake looked at the stats and
clicked his tongue.
[Item: Black Reaper]
[Grade: Unique (Mid)]
[Description: +85 Durability. Made from the bones of a Fifth Circle Silver Wyvern.
+20 Strength +25 Agility + 30 Vitality.
2% mana absorption per one successful slash which draws blood. Complete mana absorption of the opponents per successful kills.
Provides three uses of the unique skill [Blood Regeneration] per day when equipped.]
[Cost: 74,000 Evil Points]
'No matter what, I am buying this.' Jake wasn't going to settle for a subpar weapon this time. Tomorrow, he planned to hold a secret gathering. He just hoped it would give him enough points.
Jake stood up from his chair and went to the kitchen to eat something.
These days, daily rations were supplied from the villages. The concept of donations and sacrifices came in handy. He had implemented this a week ago.
Everything seemed to go smoothly. So smoothly that he was worried this was the calm before a storm.
No adventurer had come after Irene's party disappeared in the dungeon. Jake honestly had no idea what news or rumors were spreading among the humans.
The two men he had corrupted would be coming in about four to five days. That would tell him if the situation was good or not.
It looked all normal in the three villages today. The people were smiling, chatting, and doing their daily jobs like normal villagers. If anyone came here, they wouldn't notice anything wrong.
But the villagers were too cheerful, and they kept talking about the Lord. Well, it wasn't anything new to learn that they were religious. However, under the veil of all this, something sinister was about to happen.
It started as soon as the first silence of night descended. In the sky, a half moon shone among the countless twinkling stars. The winds blew gently over the roof tiles.
One by one, yellow lights lit inside the previously dark houses. They looked like fireflies from a distance. Villagers came outside holding lanterns and wearing brown capes. They silently glanced at each other and walked on the muddy village streets.
They were the working population. The few guests in the villages didn't know a thing. Sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, just like the children and elderly.
As more villagers joined those on the streets, a crowd formed. The three priests guided their respective villagers towards the place where the Lord would grace them.
Holding metal lanterns which gave off creamy yellow light, wearing inverted crosses and long hooded capes, the villagers looked wholly different. From each village, about 200 people had come.
They all headed towards the Redwoods forest with their priests in front.
There was a large altar about 70 feet in diameter. It looked new and was made of stones. The use of earth magic was evident. There were no trees in its vicinity. It looked abandoned if not for the man hovering over it.
"There they are…" Jake muttered as he folded his hands and stood stationary 20 feet above the altar.
With his dark vision, he could see a crowd of over 500 people heading his way. Jake recognized the faces of Noah and the other two priests. They were holding the cross in their hands and telling the villagers to follow them.
'Heh…' Jake looked at the women in the crowd. Their eyes had anticipation and delight.
"We're here!"
"The Lord will descend tonight!"
After some time, the villagers reached the altar. They started looking here and there. Above them, Jake took out a long bony cross from his pocket. He held it for a moment and then crushed it using his strength.
The mana in the surroundings acted and activated the spell enchanted in the bone cross.
"Wha-"
"It's… the Lord is here!"
The crosses on the villagers' chests started glowing red. It was just simple magic.
At the same time, imps flew and surrounded the villagers. The Dark Priests looked up and pointed at the flying man.
"There he is!"
The people's gazes focused on Jake who was slowly descending. Crazed cries resounded in the surroundings as the villagers knelt and crouched all at once.
Landing on the altar, Jake glanced at the people who were shuddering. He could see how zealous they were in their faith.
'Looks like the priests did a good job,' He thought.
"Hear me, my children," Jake said in a fake soothing voice. "Today, I am here to guide you."
No one spoke. They all reverently listened as the one true Lord began speaking. The villagers had not expected this night to come true.
"Ignorant lambs," Jake continued. "Without a shepherd, you have unknowingly committed far too many sins. However, I am benevolent. Tonight, I shall give you a chance at redemption!"
[Ding! Congratulations, you have acquired a new skill, [Deception]]
Jake spread his hands for theatrical purposes and violently spread his mana. A gust of wind spread from the altar and caressed the faces of the devout believers below.
Tears streamed from the eyes of the men and women. At this moment, Jake smiled evilly and spread his legs.
[Ding! You have equipped the title [Pleasure Demon]. Females within a 50 meters radius from you will be aroused.]
An invisible halo spread from Jake's position. It didn't affect the men but when it touched the women, they all simultaneously moaned.
"Annhh~"
"Urmahh~"
Jake unbuttoned his pants and took out his long meaty stick. He looked at the people below with no shame.
"The men shall preach, the women shall please."
Jake looked at the moaning females and walked forward. "Cum here and be baptized."
The women stopped moaning, and a heavy silence reigned. Then almost immediately, crazed cries resounded.
"Annhh~ Bless me, my Lord!"
"Please stick your holy rod inside me~"
The zealous women ran to the altar. They climbed and crawled to be the first. Pushing others and moaning louder than ever. Jake took off his robes and put it in his inventory. Of course, he wasn't wearing anything underneath. This was all planned, after all.
As he touched the unmarried girls, mature housewives, and unsatisfied widows, they all came one by one.
"Praise the Lord!" the priests turned around and began rousing the confused men.
Some were regaining their clarity, but when the priests used their skills, they all became devout believers again.
"If your wife, sister, mother or daughter makes the Lord cum, you shall be redeemed!" Noah shouted in a crazed manner.
"Praise the Rod!" Priest John followed by holding his cross high. That was intentional from him, instructed by Jake himself.
"Praise the Rod!" The men knelt and crouched, reciting to themselves. Their voices became smaller when the priests spoke slowly and louder when the priests spoke loudly.
On the altar, the women ripped their clothes off and plastered their soft bodies on Jake's tall, sculpted figure. They felt his eight abs, his back muscles and broad chest. The taller females kissed Jake. One smart woman crouched and devoutly sucked his cock.
Another one sucked his balls. The others hugged his thighs, arms and torso, taking a piece of him for themselves. There were over 200 of them. Jake had fucked all the unmarried girls here, so they wouldn't give him that many points. But there were still about 150 remaining whom he hadn't touched…
Yesterday, Jake had spent all of his previous points in Vitality and Stamina. He looked at the crowded, naked women on the altar. They appeared possessed, and he planned to fuck them all.
"Mrrnhh~ Ougghh… Mnnhh~" Jake moved his hips.
[Ding! You have committed a lustful sin. You gain 88 Evil Points!]
[Ding! You have committed a lustful sin. You gain 67…]
[Ding! You have committed a greedy sin. You gain 71…]
[Ding! You have committed a…]
[Ding! You hav…]
"Praise the Rod!"
"Praise the Rod!"
The fanatic men chanted as their women moaned on the altar. Any person seeing this scene would feel dizzy. In the middle of so many women, one man stood dominantly.
His horns would make people flinch, but today that was not the case. Jake wasn't using any type of appearance magic here because there was no need. The people were already brainwashed.
"Annhhh~ Anhh! Annnh!"
He was fucking the brains out of a woman whose name he didn't know. She was a brunette, taller than most women. He liked her fat peaches and the way she moaned.
Holding her waist tight, Jake was ripping her cunt from behind. She stood on the floor, supported by the other women who pressed her upper body for the Lord.
Phah! Paah! Pahh!
They looked at how his rod drilled this lucky woman's hole. How her peaches jiggled when he pounded her.
Jake stopped holding the woman and swung his hips. A girl sat on the moaning brunette's upper back and kissed Jake.
"Mrnn…Mwah~ Daddy…" She was Ashley.
Suddenly, a wave of naked females impatiently surrounded Jake and latched onto his body. He felt many fleshy assets squeezing him.
Looking around, Jake could see tens of impatient women sitting or standing on the altar. They were trying their best to get his attention by rubbing their pussies and moaning alluringly.
"I see, the view is not bad at all."
They displayed breasts and asses of all shapes and sizes in front of him. The women were practically crying to get his dick. His new title was more effective than the previous one. It aroused them to no extent.
"A-anhh! Ah, so deep! Annh~ Uwaannhh!"
The fucked brunette's legs weakly shook as she orgasmed. Raw pounding made her submissively cry.
Jake's balls chaotically hit her soft lower lips and he came inside her.
[Ding! You have committed a lustful sin. You gain 1120 Evil Points!]
The warm stream of semen made Alyvia slump on the floor. As soon as Jake pulled out, a blonde young lady presented herself to him.
"Lord, please ravage me," she said.
"What is your name?" Jake grabbed her waist and asked.
The young woman shuddered as he touched her and crisply replied: "My name is Ava- Annh!"
Jake grasped her thighs and pulled her closer. He aligned his rod's tip to her hole and pinched her clit.
"Mrrnhhh…" Ava glanced at him with a flushed face.
"Are you married?" he asked as she wrapped her thighs around his hips.
"Yes, my Lo- Annh!"
Jake suddenly entered her. Ava's heat spread to his body. He felt her wet insides clenching on his dick. She was tighter than the previous woman.
"Annh!" Jake moved his hips, making her cry in pleasure.
This was the first time she had moaned so sharply. Her husband couldn't have done it. The Lord's thick rod gave her the pleasure she never knew she needed.
"Yes, a-annhh~ Umhh… Annhh~"
The moonlight illuminated Ava's sweaty body as she sat on top of another woman, pinned by the tall man in front of her. Jake's fat pipe stretched her canal as he went deeper and deeper.
Jake brought Ava's thighs together and hugged them, bouncing his pelvis on her peaches which trembled under the force of his powerful thrusts. Her soft thighs were pressed on his chest and she had no control over her body.
The young blonde gave all of herself to him, moaning blissfully with the hot cock in her pussy.
"Annh~" She squirted, wetting the ass of whoever she was sitting on. Ava could never feel sex the same way after this.
"Mrmm, I-I apologize for this, m-my Lord…" A busty woman came and hugged Jake from behind. He could feel her hard nipples on his back.
Numerous soft hands clasped his thighs. Looking below, Jake found young girls waiting for him. Their tender bottoms were wet because of their own squirt.
"Annnhh! Annh! Arrrnnh!"
It didn't take long for Jake to shoot his load inside Ava. The moment he came, her turn was over. He pulled the head of a nearby girl and dangled his cock in front of her face.
She immediately opened her mouth and started sucking. Covering the back of her head with his hands, Jake fucked her face for some time before telling all the women to line up.
Below him, the fanatic cries hadn't stopped at all. The men saw their wives and daughters obediently laying on the altar and wiggling their asses.
They gulped as the Lord knelt behind one woman and sank his palms in her plump peaches.
"All of you shall be redeemed tonight." Jake held the hands of the woman who trembled at his touch.
He was at the center of this huge altar, surrounded by crouching women. This orgy formation looked neat from above.
"Annhh! Annhh! Ah~ Ah~"
Jake spanked the woman he was with and fucked her as she cried. He looked at all the females laying there and asked, "What I shall do to all of you?"
"Please give us your seed, Lord. Please fuck us as you wish!"
All of them voiced at once. They then began rubbing themselves.
200 females at once lay naked on the altar, moaning in distress for one man's cock while their husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers preached:
"Praise the Rod!"
"Annhh! More, Annhh~"
Pahh! Pah! Phah!
Dripping pussies and chirping women were all Jake could see and hear. Going deep, he clenched the tight ass and came again.
[Ding! You have committed a lustful sin. You gain 1255 Evil Points!]
Immediately, he left the twitching woman and went behind the one beside. She glanced at him with teary eyes.
"P-Please… I c-can't hold on any- Annhh! Annh~"
The girl came on the spot as he began fucking her. She submissively laid there, stretching her arms, feeling the hard cock plugging her tender pussy. Whenever Jake's balls smacked her wet clit, she would shudder in pleasure.
"Ah damn… now that's a tight cunt…" Jake pulled her hair and shot his warm cum inside her womb.
He didn't care if he impregnated her or not. If their bellies swelled after this, the preaching men may take care of it. The population of these villages was going to increase in the coming year.
"Next…" Jake pulled out and began fucking another woman.
A bell rang through Gera, the largest city in Karsuda province. The sound signaled midnight and came from the top of a church tower. Just one floor below it, there was a round cathedral room.
Inside it, a man was looking through the windows. His name was Ash Harley. Ten years ago, he had left his home as a squire. Today, he became a 4th Circle Paladin.
"Mother… Father…" Ash muttered to himself, remembering the fond memories he had of his childhood.
He hadn't been to Senesten in a long time. However, after becoming a paladin, he was finally free to visit his hometown.
Ash had heard rumors about some kind of dungeon appearing in the vicinity. He wanted to check that as well. Turning around, the paladin lightly kicked the ground and became a flash of silver light.
His agility was over 400 which made him multiple times faster than a normal human. Actually, after reaching the Fourth Circle, a person would become something more than just a mere human. This was a path to transcendence, and he was just stepping on it.
Whoosh!
Ash disappeared in the hallways which were lit by the mellow moonlight. Tonight was beautiful.
…
"Hah… Hah…" Jake panted and looked around. His eyes were blurry but he could tell it was close to morning.
On the altar, the women twitched and moaned. He had fucked all of them. All 273 women, he had pounded their cunts. It took him the entire night to do that and Jake was thoroughly exhausted even though his stamina was his highest stat currently.
In the middle of fucking, Jake had ran out of energy and he had to use the Evil Points to increase his stamina and vitality. Using tens of thousands of points, he had made them touch the barrier of 400.
If he increased one of his other stats, he would have the qualifications to become a 4th Circle Demon. It was ridiculous, but he had made it. Jake knew he would rarely get such a chance.
[Evil Points: 331,820]
That number made him lay on top of a woman's body and breathe heavily.
"Auunnhh…"
"Mrnnh…"
The women remembered the best sex they had in their life. The altar was wet with sticky juices littered over it.
"Fu… Fuck… I did it." Jake felt like he had accomplished a great thing. This had to be a world record!
Lifting his upper body, he looked at the broken faces of the girls whose legs were trembling. Their faces were smeared with his thick cum.
"Huff…" Jake laid back on the woman below him.
He brought ten strength potions from the system and drank the bitter liquid. Never had he thought that he would need these after sex.
'Damn… even my dick hurts… That's enough sex for tonight.' Jake regained some energy after drinking all the potions and stood up.
He immediately used flight to fly above and announced that all of his believers were then free of their sins.
"Take them and nurture my seeds well, those are my blessings for you all," he said, faking holiness again.
"P-Praise the Lord!" someone said weakly.
Most of the men were half-awake. They immediately snapped and started praying. Afterwards, they took the women who could not walk on their own.
"The Lord's seed is inside me…" Ava rubbed her belly and walked dizzily along with her husband.
One by one, the women blushed and fondly touched their bellies. Jake had satisfied them, so the title's effect was gone.
The first rays of light pierced through the night's darkness as the sun rose. The imps cried and hurriedly flew to the dungeon.
Hovering above the wet altar, Jake glanced at the villagers who were leaving for their respective villages.
'Well, it was fun fucking all of you…' He thought and turned around.
Inside, he felt some pity for these women who could not fuck now. After all, the Book of Light stated pregnant women must practice abstinence. Though not all of them would be pregnant.
Jake was sure his semen had gotten way thinner during the latter half of the night. Some women were also in their safe month, a few could be naturally infertile. There were many variables. Despite that, he was confident that about 40% of them would surely have children.
As he and the priests had brainwashed them, the villagers would nurture the children like their own. They might even go above and beyond to raise the children 'Lord' gave them.
The concept of children being God's gifts was prevalent among humans. Here, Jake had 'gifted' them in a literal sense.
"Lena, tell Perry to cook something special. It's best if there is monster meat in it…" Jake ordered his fairy after reaching the dungeon entrance.
He felt like he couldn't live by just consuming the mana. Jake wanted to eat something. He was feeling intense hunger.
'Eh, as expected!' He thought as he looked at the sin meter.
[Gluttony: 513]
Inside the dungeon, on the last floor.
Jake lay on a sofa after eating a huge meal made by Rose, Perry, and a few others. Right now, Riri sat on her master's lap, feeding him some milk.
She was wearing maid clothes which Jake had specially bought for her from the system.
Jake thought that the clothes in this world were too crude. They couldn't highlight the beauty of the girls most of the time. So he had bought clothes for all the women in his harem.
It was a pleasant view seeing Diana walk around wearing shorts or Irene dressed as an office lady.
'And there.' Jake bought the scythe.
[Ding! Congratulations on purchasing the item, Black Reaper.]
He kept it in his inventory for now and sipped the milk Riri provided.
As she put the glass down, Jake stroked her belly.
'It is warm,' he thought.
Riri obediently stayed like that when he started checking on her. She was happy that he actually cared about the children.
'A good offspring will be a great subordinate…'
She did not know what he was actually thinking. Jake only cared about the babies because they would benefit him in the long run.
At this moment, others also entered Jake's room. They pouted in jealousy seeing Riri getting master's love.
Jake patted her and stood up. He went to the bed and laid down. His women surrounded him while stroking their bellies. They sat on the bed and began gently catering to their master.
Some kissed him, some massaged his arms and legs while some hugged him and closed their eyes.
Jake silently acknowledged their care and called the system. He first checked his remaining points.
[Evil Points: 256,320]
'Do I unlock another sin or do I upgrade my stats?' He asked himself.
Jake decided to first take a look at his stats before deciding on what to do.
'Status.'
[Name: Jake Farlen]

[Inventory / Shop]
[Sinner's Roulette (Unavailable, Requires 100,000 Evil Points to spin again)]
[Sin Meter]
'I have too many skills…' Jake frowned.
He looked at his attributes and realized he was neglecting agility. His current attributes looked too imbalanced.
'Unlocking the third sin will give me more ways to collect Evil Points, but…'
Jake relaxed his eyebrows and stroked Amelia's thighs. He gently patted her butt while thinking.
'I'll improve my stats instead. My life is more important than the points, in the end. The more powerful I am, the better it is for me.'
Jake adjusted his position and turned around. He lazily laid on top of Erin, placing his wrists on her soft breasts and poking the empty air above her face.
"M-Master…"
"Stay like that," Jake said, pressing her belly with his own.
He first clicked the agility and used 18,000 points to increase it.
[Ding! Your Agility has increased. 220â†'400]
[Congratulations! Three of your attributes have reached 400. To advance, please prepare a demonic advancement magic circle. Ritual specifics…]
However, he didn't increase any more. When Jake tried increasing agility from 400 to 401, the system asked for 1,000 Evil Points.
'Care to explain why?' he asked inwardly.
[Ding! Connecting with the System Assistant. Replying to the host: The 4th Circle is a pivotal point in the advancement of any being. The power of beings cannot be measured with the same unit from this rank.]
'So you mean to say 100 is not enough now?'
[Replying to the host: Yes. The energy contained in 100 Evil Points is not sufficient for 1 stat point of a 4th Circle being.]
"Hah…" Jake sighed. To be honest, he had expected it.
From what he knew, 4th Circle demon nobles were called earls, way stronger than any 3rd Circle demon.
The gap between 3rd and 4th was ten times larger than 2nd and 3rd. Likewise, the gap between 4th and 5th Circle was larger again.
9th was the highest and Jake had only heard of it in myths. There wouldn't be such a great distinction if it was easy to climb the ranks.
[The value of points has not decreased. 1 stat increase in 4th Circle is roughly equal to 10 stat increases in the lower ranks.]
'So even a small improvement could have drastic increases to my strength…' Jake understood it now.
He dismissed the notification about advancing and asked the system another question.
'I have too many skills, is it possible to merge them into more generalized abilities?'
[Ding! Replying to the host: Yes, you can combine the skills by touching two or more of them at once. Warning, the process is irreversible, and every skill combination takes 10,000 Evil Points. Please choose carefully which abilities you want to combine.]
'Oh.'
Jake pushed himself up from Erin's body while tightly grabbing her breasts. She looked as her master left the chamber and went outside.
Jake first tested out all his offensive abilities and then decided which ones to merge.
He held [Mana Sense], [Mana Communication], and [Monster Tongue] together. A system prompt appeared which asked if he wanted to merge them.
Jake clicked 'Yes', instantly using 10,000 Evil Points. The three abilities disappeared but Jake felt like he could still use them. On their place, a new one appeared.
[Skill: Magipathy (Passive)]
[Grade: Unique (High)]
[Description: Able to sense and communicate through any being or object with mana. The said being or object must be of the same rank or below. Range depends on the amount of internal mana used.]
That was a pretty badass skill for perception. He could literally speak with anyone using magic. Not just monsters, humans, evles… but with even beings like puppets or golems as long as they had some sentience.
Also, he could sense any object in the surroundings, so hidden weapons wouldn't work unless they were of the Epic Rank.
Jake then tried out two combinations but they didn't work. He lost 20,000 points for nothing. However, on the third try, he got a new skill.
By combining [Fear Aura], [Marking], and [Corruption], he got a new ability whose name was,
[Skill: Degeneration Halo]
[Grade: Unique (High)]
[Description: Able to deprave the mind and powers of any creature lower in rank than you. The user can also deprave those of the same rank by severely injuring them.
Exceptions include magical or divine interference. The target must be present within the halo's range which is a 100-feet circular radius.
Upon a successful degeneration, a corrupted seed will be placed in the target's mind, which the user may use to control him/her.]
[Usage Cost: 75 mana]
Jake was pretty satisfied with this ability even though it had an extremely high usage cost. It was an Area of Effect skill, and an upgraded version of his Corruption.
After he was finished checking that skill, Jake paced around while trying new combinations. After 3 unsuccessful tries, he merged [Memory Erase], [Deception], and [Bewitching Gaze] to create the unique skill called…
[Skill: Malefic Enchantment]
[Grade: Unique (Mid)]
[Description: You can enchant any type of soul as long as your Will, Intelligence, and Charisma is higher. You can tamper with the minds of those you have enchanted. The changes done to a being's mind, such as adding new or erasing existing memories, shaping personality, etc can be permanent or temporary by your will.]
[Usage Cost: 30 Mana]
After looking through this, Jake tried one last combination, and it worked on the first try. By merging [Phantom Steps] and [Intermediate Scythe Mastery], he got [Phantom Scythe Mastery].
Immediately, the system transferred lots of information to his mind about this new skill. His understanding of a scythe as a weapon improved by leaps and bounds. Now he just had to familiarize with the movements of the Phantom Scythe Mastery and he was as good as a veteran warrior.
Jake knew that his combat potential had increased by a lot after doing all this. He had spent a lot, but about 150 thousand Evil Points still remained.
He increased all his attributes to 400. It took him less than 30,000 points to do that. Jake always kept his stats all-rounded.
He lightly punched before him, and a shock wave ran through the air. He ought to control his strength more now.
That orgy was the most fruitful, and he didn't know when he would get another such chance. Jake still had more than a hundred thousand points, so he decided to unlock the third sin.
He was curious about what it would be. Jake touched the Sinner's Roulette and from his status, the system deducted exactly 100,000 Evil Points. The dark disc spun for the third time and stopped ten seconds later.
The notification surprised Jake.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have unlocked the Sin of Pride!]
[You have unlocked your third sin, host. The system has updated the guide with the information relevant to the Sin of Pride.]
He didn't see the guide this time, though. Jake knew how to act prideful, but he was afraid he might act snobbish instead. As a demon, he was shameless and arrogant.
'What would be a prideful sin…? Undermining someone more powerful than me?' Jake thought. That might cost him his own life… but he would get points…
"This is a double-edged sword." Jake suddenly realized something. "Some sins complement each other while others contradict!"
Like greed and gluttony, for example. They went hand by hand. But rage and sloth as well as pride and envy, they were contradictory. However, sloth and pride were complementary. Refusing to do anything was being prideful as well as slothful.
Envy and Rage could also be used together. Jake could be envious of someone's success, and he could get angry because of it. However, he couldn't envy others and be arrogant at the same time…
Jake looked at the panel and scoffed, "Of course."
[Sinner's Roulette (Unavailable, requires 1,000,000 Evil Points to spin again)]
"System, what happens if I unlock all seven sins?"
[Ding! Insufficient authority. The host may ask this question after becoming a Demon Lord.]
Jake dismissed the matter for now. His power had increased by a large margin. Now he just had to advance to the fourth circle.
He clicked on the notification which he got right when his agility reached 400.
[To advance to the 4th Circle and become an Earl, the host has to either be at Hell or kill at least 1,000 inhabitants of this world. The advancement ritual can be fueled with the souls of the dead.]
Jake paused. It appeared the dungeon's evil mana wouldn't be sufficient now. He was not expecting such a condition to appear so soon though.
'It says inhabitants… but killing 1,000 cockroaches wouldn't be enough, would it?' Jake turned around and went to his room.
He would have to kill beings with high intelligence. They had the best souls which gave the highest amount of energy. Meaning, he basically had to commit genocide.

On the 15th floor.
"Explosion!"
Jake cast the magic spell, and a large fire boomed in front of him. Irene hurriedly cast her Mana Barrier to shield from the damage. Still, the shock wave pushed away her and the Hell Knight.
Behind him, three 2nd Circle Orc Warriors swung their swords at him. Jake powerfully rotated his Black Reaper and threw them away. Almost immediately, a fireball landed on his right arm.
The goblin shaman laughed and shot more fireballs. Jake used [Minor Regeneration] to heal his wound and pulled that Shaman with Demonic grasp. However, the minotaur caught hold of the goblin and saved it.
"Evil Flame Spear!" Irene cast offensive magic which was boosted by the Unholy Blessings of three priestesses.
It was 3 meters long and looked extremely dangerous. Jake didn't have any defensive skills and it would be fatal if he got hit by that. He could've dodged it.
However, Jake didn't bulge and instead pushed the minotaur who was trying to keep him occupied.
Jake took that flaming spear head on and it pierced cleanly through his left thigh. Resisting the pain, he immediately used the unique skill of his weapon, [Blood Regeneration].
To everyone's surprise, the bloody, charred hole in Jake's thigh began healing at an exponential rate. The flesh, blood, and even the bones regenerated to patch up that hole. Within a minute, Jake's leg was just like before.
[Flight]
Jake suddenly flew up, dodging his pet Lark's attack. Today, he had instructed his most powerful servants to team up against him.
He wanted to see how powerful he had actually become. Even though he was fighting two 3rd Circle beings, he wasn't using his most powerful unique skills.
The more he refused to use his full strength, the more notifications he got.
[Ding! You have committed a prideful sin. You gain 55 Evil Points!]
"Rwaarrrghh!"
At this moment, the Hell Knight activated his [Berserk] skill. The Earth Golems slammed the ground with their palms and pillars of mud rose, aiming to hit Jake who was hovering in the air.
He used Dark Fire and sent a hot shock wave, crumbling the mud pillars. He then shot downwards and immediately used his Phantom Scythe Mastery to confront the Hell Knight.
However, Keirth's usually closed eye opened at this moment and Jake felt a sense of danger.
The Hell Knight was about to use his unique skill [Eye of Anger] for the first time.
