"Lucian... There are very few dark mages left in this world. People see us as evil mages because our concepts works on alchemy of equal exchange law.
If you want to achieve something, You have to sacrifice Something. That's what dark mages use... A normal mage receives his powers when he begs to the god but it's different in our case and that's why we are hated in the outer world.
If you are a dark mage and your found on a murder site, Then you will be the first suspect to get caught and if the real suspect didn't got caught, you will be the one to die in his place.
I want to ask you one last time... Are you sure that you want to become a Dark mage ? Because, The path you are taking will be gruesome and at one point you will definitely regret becoming a dark mage." The old man asked with a smile.
"The more you say it, The more intresting it sounds... I will become a Dark Mage." Lucian replied with a smile.
"Fine... Come with me then." The old man spoke as he stood up from his seat and started walking towards the stairs.
'Haa... This is exciting. I am going to become a fucking dark Mage.' Lucian thought as he followed the old man.
"Dark Magic stands on 7 Legs... Lust, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Anger, envy and Gluttony."
"The Seven Sins ?" Lucian asked as both of them started going up the stairs.
"Yes, The Seven Sins. Those who can get their control over the Seven Sins properly... Can become the Strongest among the mortals.
Every living thing on this planet is binded with the seven sins. You just have to find what sin they are binded to." The old man explained.
After reaching the second floor, Lucian noticed many magic items.
Some of them were lined up on the table and some were packed in glass boxes.
There were two girls working on this floor... One was working with some chemicals and the other girl was working with some wooden dolls.
"Hello, Girls... Meet Lucian. He is here to become a Dark Mage." The old man spoke as he pointed towards Lucian.
"Hmm...? A Mage ?"
"Really, Grandpa ? A Mage ?"
Both of them immediately stood up From their places and walked upto Lucian with a curious expression.
"Is your learning power good ?"
"Can you release fire out of your mouth ?"
Both of them started questioning strange things to Lucian.
"Lucian, She is Kelly and she is Velly... My granddaughters and you are not allowed to touch one of them." The old man spoke with a smile.
"Oh, Hi... I am Lucian." Lucian spoke with a smile.
"I will get all the preparations done on the next floor... Meanwhile, you can spend some time here with them and they will get your affinity checked out. But, If you looked at them with lust... I will take your eyes out and believe me, I can really do that." The old man spoke with a smile and a threatening voice.
"I-I understand..." Lucian replied with a smile.
"Good." He spoke as he immediately went to the next floor.
"Hi... I am Velly and I am a 'Puppet Master'. Can I take one of your hairs ?" She asked with a smile.
"Me too, Me too... I want your hair too. I am Kelly and I am a 'Dark Alchemist'." Kelly spoke.
"Why do you guys want my hair ?" Lucian asked with a confused expression.
"Please..." Both of them requested with big beautiful eyes.
"Fine... Here." Lucian spoke as he immediately took out two hairs from his head and gave it to both of them.
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
Both of them immediately went back to their benches and started doing something.
Velly attached Lucian's hair to a wooden doll and then took a pin out of her hairs.
She then stabbed the doll's right leg with the pin.
"Fuckk... What the fuck was that ?" Lucian spoke as he felt insane pain in his right leg.
He immediately took off his shoes and looked at his leg, only to find out that nothing was there.
"Did you feel that ?" Velly asked with a smile.
"It was you ?" Lucian asked with a serious expression.
"Yeah... It's a Voo-doo doll." Velly replied.
"Don't do that again. It hurts." Lucian replied with a serious expression.
"Hey, Tell me if you feel this..." Velly spoke as she stabbed the pin directly into the doll's heart.
*Cough-Cough*
"S-Shit..." Lucian immediately vomited blood as he felt immense pain in his heart.
"Oh shit... I-I am sorry. I will fix it immediately." Velly spoke as she immediately removed Lucian's hair from the doll and picked up a healing potion out of her drawer.
"Here... Drink this." Velly spoke as she handed out the potion to Lucian.
Lucian immediately drank the potion and healed back to his original state.
"Are you a fucking idiot ? Do you want to kill me ?" Lucian asked with an angry expression.
"I-I am sorry, Lucian. I-I just wanted to practice my techniques on someone... Please forgive me." Velly spoke as she started to Apologize and tears started coming out of her eyes.
"Yeah, I could've been dead."
"Haha... It's done." Kelly shouted as she showed a pink coloured liquid to both of them.
"Did you made that using my hair ?" Lucian asked.
"Yes, but don't worry... I won't hurt you because I am not as idiotic as she is." Kelly replied as she drank the potion.
"Now we wait..." Kelly spoke as she looked at Anon.
Suddenly, her face started to get deformed.
"Woah... What the fuck is happening with her ?" Lucian asked as he immediately backed off.
"Don't worry... It's a disguise potion." Velly spoke with a smile.
Suddenly, Kelly's face was formed back... But, It wasn't her face. It was Lucian's face this time.
"That's me.... With Boobs." Lucian spoke with a surprised expression as he noticed that only her face has changed and her body remained the same.
