3rd Pov
Three years had passed since the day that Kevin started his new life as Roy Belphegor.
After using his brain to actually think and not laze around which went against his moral codes, he had learned the language of devils.
Using that he had learned quite interesting things about the world he was reincarnated into.
First of all besides humans there are many races such as devils, angels, youkai and a lot more. Even the gods from some mythologies that he knew of in his previous life were also in this world.
As stated in the reincarnation center, the place that he met with the so-called god and got reincarnated, his race was already pre chosen as Devil.
Unlike what he thought Devils in this world were much different than what was shown in many works of fiction or different religion books.
The devil's literally lived their life similar to Humans with few minor differences such as being powerful and not weak like most humans due to having access to magic and more.
Though he did find out that most devils lacked the motivation to get stronger as their magic system mostly relied on imagination unlike human magic that needed equitation and calculations.
What's more is that the way their society was ruled was based on hierarchy, with strong being at the top and weak bowing down to them.
Devils with higher social standings were noble beings and mostly looked down on the devils that weren't part of them or were reincarnated devil, giving them treatment that would have made people on twitter go crazy in Roy's previous life.
The Noble Devils came from 72 pillars which most of them went extinct due to wars that happened.
Most of the 72 Pillars had a unique ability or trait to themselves and bloodline which originated from lucifer.
For example the Bael clan had the power of destruction while a clan like gremory had Dumb luck.
An example of that dumb luck was how the gremory clan had managed to score with the Bael clan and be somewhat allies.
Luckily he found out that he wasn't part of this 72 families. He was born in the Belphegor clan which was part of extra devils.
Being born in a clan with that status, he was rejoiced as he didn't have to focus or rather be forced to be the heir of a clan, giving him more time to rest and laze around.
While not being part of the 72 pillars, he still had awakened a unique trait thanks to Big G, giving Roy the ability to grow his demonic energy just by being lazy and resting.
Similar to a tree that photosynthesis and grows by doing almost nothing, Roy's Demonic power also grows stronger by simply doing nothing.
Truly a blessing for a person like him. But of course there were a few things that disrupted his rest from time to time.
One of them being his older sister, Roygun Belphegor who had a similar appearance to his mother, who was more charming because of her prosperous body.
the first time he saw her was when he was one year old and apparently his sister had just found out that she had a little brother.
But his sisters looks weren't the only thing that caught his attention.
It appeared that his sister was some sort of big shot in the underworld and was treated with high respect by devils, due to her brilliant performance in rating games, which he didn't know what kind of game it was nor he cared about.
The problem with his sister was that she weirdly had an obsession with young people, I like'em young as she said it herself. Thankfully her obsession was Not that bad to do anything to him but she still did spoil him a lot.
The main problem of this was her conflict and rivalry with Vermeil.
Roygun and Vermeil seemed to have bad blood against each other as they couldn't handle the sight of the other one taking care of him which most of the time ended with them fighting each other, ruining his peaceful slumber and stopping him from sleeping.
He could just use some energy and ask them to stop it because he needed to sleep, but talking was too much of a hassle for him so he just tried to sleep through their fights.
He was so lazy that the author had to write in third person point of view to stop him from using too much energy while monologuing.
Truly a lazy bastard.
'I heard that author.'
...Stop casually breaking the fourth wall mf.
Anyway back to the story, as it was stated before, Roygun and Vermeil had a weird hate/rivalry relationship but still were respectful towards eachother.
Or that was what Roy thought.
Currently he was in his sister's embrace and she was caressing his hair very affectionately, while Vermeil glared at her.
"Big sister why do you cut your nails? most girls I've seen keep them long." spending some energy, Roy asked with curiosity.
He remembered that from his past life that girls tended to love having long nails for fashion or something like that. But There really wasn't any reason why he asked that, it mostly to waste some energy so he could sleep sooner.
"It's a secret, and it's better for you to not know that till you've grown up."
Roy simply nodded his head but then he felt a disturbance in the mana around them.
'As a wise man once said, I feel a disturbance in force.'
Vermeil had cast hundreds of spells as many magic circles had appeared and were aiming for Roygun.
"You bitch I was suspicious at first but now I'm sure about it. I will make sure you won't be able to cut your nails again."
Roy looked at both of them with confusion and wanted to ask why Vermeil acted like that but decided against it as it was a waste of energy.
"How dare you accuse me of doing something like that while imagining my little brother? I might like them young but he's way too little for that."
Vermeil calmed down and the magic circles disappeared.
"I see. Sorry for thinking you would do something like that."
"Of course I wouldn't do that. I do it while imagining him a few years older."
"..." Vermeil was at loss for words and like before she cast the spells again.
"Lowly Scum like you deserve death."
'I get it now. She masterbutes with me in mind.' Roy thought to himself and didn't think any further about it as it was a waste of energy.
Looking at the fight between Roygun and Vermeil, Roy was intrigued by their spells to a certain extent.
'Magic huh... Wish I could also use it too.'
It was then that he felt as if the gears in his mind began to shift and with a single thought he had learned the principles behind magic.
'What the fu-'
[Young men do not fret as this is part of the power I have given you. You have the ability to process and learn things at an unimaginable speed.]
'Even though I'm thankful for this ability, I'd rather not have it.'
[Why do you think so young man?]
'Because that's just lazy writing.'
[...I do not get what you mean by that but keep that ability. It suits you very well.]
'Alright.'
Using the newly awakened ability, Roy decided to test it right away which later on would probe to be a bad idea.
He knew that too but still did it, as he was a firm believer of -It's for the future Me to deal with.- Saying.
'How did megumin do it again..? meh I'll just say the explosion part, god will do the rest.'
Roy lifted his small arms upwards, gaining the attention of his maid and sister as it was one of the rare moments in which he decided to take an effort and move his body.
"EXPLOSION!"
As the word left his mouth, Roy felt something similar to an energy force move towards his hand and then the awaited result arrived.
An explosion happened which destroyed and obliterated anything that was in its vicinity, or that's what he expected till he opened his eyes and saw that nothing had happened.
"When did you learn that? If I didn't stop it in time you would have blown this room."
Vermeil said as she took the previously levitating Roy in her arms.
"I just copied what I saw big sis and you did."
Roygun snatched Roy from Vermeil and hugged him affectionately "My brother is a genius. I now have to protect him from wrenches that come in his way."
She looked directly at Vermeil while saying the last part earned a glare from her.
"This brother complex of yours truly disgusts me." Vermeil said as she prepared to fight with Roygun again.
'Sigh... They're gonna go at it again. Well it's not my problem so I'll just sleep. I'm sure they have made up after I wake up.'
And thus Roy fell asleep while ignoring the chaos that was happening around him.
