23rd of August
Damian was woken up by being jumped on; he opened his eyes to see Alice on top of him, kissing his forehead. " What are you doing, Alice? " he asked, still waking up. I was waking you up because it's your sister's birthday today, isn't it? "
He stared at her face before hitting her lightly on the head, causing her to pout. " Don't go prying into my family matters, but thank you. " Isabella also woke up from this commotion. " Good morning, you two. " Damian got up from the bed and walked towards the bath. " Hey, the tub is pretty big. Do you two want to join me? "Isabella immediately got up and followed him. While Alice was visibly sad, she said, " I'm alright. "
Damian went to her, " What's wrong? You look sad, and you would be the last person ever to say no ". Isabella remembered the burns on her back and thought she must not have healed them all " Is it the burns, Alice? ". Alice panicked, " Isabella, you said you would stand up for me ". Isabella tried to talk but found out she could not and looked towards her master, who was staring intently at Alice. " Take off your top, " He said as he circled around to her back.
Alice took her top off and revealed her back to him with 3 burn marks in the shape of a claw on her back. When he touched her back, Alice shivered and ran his fingers along the burn marks " What about them? ". She was shocked. She thought her master wouldn't like how they looked on her " D-Don't you hate how it looks " Damian looked at her strangely " The only thing I don't like about it is that another person touched you ". Alice hugged and thanked him. ' I didn't do anything, though? '.
They all got into the bath, and Damian thought about the system " You two wash me ". The girls were eccentric about this chance to see their master naked but were bummed when he was covering his waist with a white towel, ' Status '.
{ Finally, remembered me, host, I was so lonely: C }

" FUCK " Damian shouted out, seeing his stat points causing both of the girls to panic " Are you okay, master? ". " Yeah, I'm okay, don't you two worry " he patted both of their heads. ' System, where did I get 7 levels from? And what do you mean I can evolve? '.
{ Each person the host kills gives him 10 Exp. This does not include kills from members of the house. Last night, the host killed 2,095 people, so he rewarded 20,950 Exp points. As you might have already noticed, you don't resemble a demon because you're a lesser demon. You barely possess any demon genetics in you, which is why you're still basically 99.99% human, but evolving changes that, for example, after evolving from a lesser demon, you will be an intermediate demon. Gaining some demon powers potentially along with increasing your stats and looks }
' Still hard to swallow that I killed that many people last night, but I did it for a good cause, well, my cause. Should I evolve before or after my sister's birthday? I need to claim the rewards for the killing mission, System claim my rewards please '.
{The Space breaking pill will be on the table side of the bed }
{Skill obtained: Blaze of oblivion: MP cost: depends. When supplied with enough mana, Channel all of your mana into a single blast that decimates anything in its path. After this move, you will not be able to use any skills for 10 minutes }
" We are done cleaning, you master. " Damian was excited by his new Skill but was taken out of his imagination by his two slaves, who were looking at him holding out their towels. " Thanks, girls, Alice, stand in front of me ". Alice stood in front of him while he looked over her body and took off the towel that covered her breasts " I never noticed you had such a nice body. Do you want me to wash your body for you? ". Damian proceeded to wash Alice and then Isabella after she got jealous.
Damian left the bath and saw the space-breaking pill in a little jewellery box on the bedside, so he grabbed it. He was about to leave but thought, ' Should I invite them? We will be travelling together in a few days, so introducing them might be better. Why the hell not '. He walked back into the bath and asked the girls, " Hey, do you two want to come for my sister's birthday today ". Before he was finished, the girls were fully dressed with makeup and pulling him out the door ' Where the hell did they get that speed '.
Isabella drove them all to Damian's house, where they got out. He knocked on the door. His sister opened the door and welcomed him in, stunned by the 2 beauties who followed him in. When they walked past her, they apologised for intruding, which Lily didn't mind, and stated they were welcome there.
Damian went inside and said hello to his parents and his sister's friends. When it was time for dinner, everybody sat at the table and sang happy birthday to Lily while also pointing fun at Damian for somehow getting such a cute girlfriend. Then it was time for presents. First were her friends, who gave her some little trinkets, money, gift cards and the sort. Mum and Dad gave her a new phone and laptop for school, and then it was Damian's turn. He took out the space-breaking pill, and everybody was stunned by the pill that seemingly had cracks emerging from a galaxy inside the pill.
" This is for you, little sis. I want you to be strong as well, and this can help you. Also, you're not allowed to ask about where I got it from or the price. " Lily giggled at how well her brother knew her and swallowed the pill at the table. Suddenly, her skin started to break and seemed to rupture the space around her. Then, a bright light covered the whole room and slowly got absorbed by Lily.
After 5 minutes, everybody looked towards Lily. She seemed the exact same except for a sharp aura like a deadly blade that she radiated. ' System uses the potential scouter. '
{ Lily Locke }
{ Highest Potential - Sword Saintess - SS- }
{ Lowest Potential - Mage - F- }
Everybody continued as usual. Sometime later, people started to leave, including Isabella, but Damian asked Alice to stay due to her status.
" Hey, Mum, can Alice stay over tonight? " Damian asked, wanting to talk about her strength and didn't feel like going to Isabellas. '' Sure, But I hope I don't hear any weird noises from you two. " Alice blushed, while Damian just sighed and brought her to his room. " Don't touch anything, or I'll hit you, "he said when they got into his room.
" Sit on the floor " Alice did precisely that while Damian sat on his bed and pointed his shoes towards Alice, who took them off and his socks. "If you went all out in a fight, could you beat an A-Rank ". Alice looked down and shook her head " No, A-Rank is still too much for me, master; while I might be able to stall them, definitely not defeat ", he patted her head " At Least you're honest. It's never good to overestimate your skills, It will always come back to get you, Show me your status ".
{ Alice Greenwood }
{ Race - Cursed Dryad }
{ Class - Demons nurse, A rare class for healers, whenever healing a demon increase healing by 50%, Able to sacrifice souls in exchange for power }
{ Souls held - 59 }
{ HP - 740/640 }
{ MP - 1,860 }
{ Total - 505 }
{ Rank - B }
{ Strength - 83 }
{ Endurance - 74 }
{ Intelligence - 186 }
{ Agility - 57 }
{ Charisma - 105 }
Damian noticed something about her status: " What is with your souls held? I know it's class-related, but what can you do with them? ".
" I don't know, master, it won't give me any option for them; maybe it's a specific number I need ". He nodded in response, thinking that sounded accurate. ' If I want to get her to A-Rank or High B-Rank, I would need to spend around 500 for the lowest of the low A-Rank, but I need around 800 for the same rank, and I'll still have around 1,000 points left. " Alice, If I give you the power, do you promise to get 2nd place in the Academy test ". Alice looked at him and nodded " If you wish to master, I will get that position with your power ".
Damian patted her head in response, thinking, ' I really need to stop this. It's really addicting. '.
" I can give you power in any of your 5 stats; I have 700 points for you to use to get to A-Rank; decide on what you would like for your stats ". Alice thought it over and decided on 200 for strength and intelligence, 100 for endurance and agility, and 100 for charisma. ' If I'm to ever be in a 1v1, then I'll need to be able to survive and battle back. I don't have any magical attacking skills yet, so I shouldn't invest too much into intelligence. I also need good survivability, so that's for my endurance and agility, while my strength is to punish. I think this is the best for now '. Alice told Damian about her choices and gave her the stats that she wanted so her stats would be ready.
{ Alice Greenwood }
{ HP - 1,740/1,740 }
{ MP - 3,860/3,860 }
{ Rank - A }
{ Total - 1,205 }

{ Charisma - 205 }
{ Rank up reward - Skill obtained: Life drain. MP cost: 100. Latch onto a target for 5 seconds, then heal for 10% of the damage dealt. Cooldown: 10 seconds }
Damian grinned at his slave, getting stronger. He thought about something else: ' Hey, system, do my slaves also get a system or a status window? The ranker cards don't display information this in-depth. '
{ The system takes their strengths and gives them numerical values so it's easier to understand while doing the same thing for the host's slaves. Ordinary people, such as Alice's father, would understand his strength well. While the cards do not display the information in depth, the people themselves understand it. It's quite an annoying way to do it, but that is how she did it " }
' Who's She? '. Damian was suddenly hit with a powerful aura and had to take deep breaths to ensure he didn't pass out.
{ You can not know yet host }
Damian stopped paying attention to the system, hoping not to feel that aura again, and turned his attention back to Alice. " I hope you can get 2nd place with these stats; if you can't, then you will stay behind. " Alice looked him straight in the eye. " I will do this, master, and nothing will stop me from getting 2nd. " Damian patted her head again and suddenly got interrupted by the system.
{ If the host is going to sleep soon, Do you want to proceed with the evolution while you are sleeping? It won't cause any discomfort or cause you to move around }.
' Okay, system, proceed with the evolution when I fall asleep '. Shortly after, Damian fell asleep with Alice, and the system evolved after he had gone to sleep.
