-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day after departing from that Orphanage he called home, Meelis was resting under the shade of a decently big tree and decided to finally dedicate some time to make his new 'identity' a reality.

[To craft the skill (Life Magic) it costs 700LP]

[Confirm?]

'Confirm'

[-700LP]

Meelis then used (Discerning Eye) on his new Skill.

[(Life Magic)]

[Magic with a Life attribute. Can be used to manipulate the Life Force of organisms to produce effects such as accelerated growth. Can be used to create non sentient life forms.]

'Good, but not exactly what I wanted, good thing I can edit.' Meelis pondered how to go about enhancing it.

'Ah. Got it.'

[To edit the skill (Life Magic) it costs 500LP]

[Confirm?]

'Confirm'

[-500LP]

[(Advanced Life Magic)]

[Magic with a Life attribute. Can be used to manipulate the Life Force of organisms to produce effects such as accelerated growth. Can be used to create non intelligent life forms. With enough mastery, the life force of other organisms can be extracted and consumed by the user.]

"Perfect." Meelis looked at his new skill with pride.

Suddenly, Meelis felt extremely tired because of the excessive LP usage.

To test it out and hopefully regain some LP, Meelis used the (Advanced Life Magic) and sucked out the life force of the tree he was resting under.

The tree suddenly started withering at a supernatural pace. The mighty branches on the tree started drying up, the leaves went through decay until they turned to dust, the roots and bark on the tree started cracking, before finally stopping.

[+350LP]

"Oh yeah… everything's gonna work out just fine." He said to himself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Scene Change-

After days of travelling, Meelis finally made it to the capital, Lucifaad.

Every passing second of him being inside the capital just made him more and more excited.

Naturally, Meelis was an otaku and the prospect of being isekai'd then experiencing a new life and learning all these magical skills excited him to no end.

It's only in moments like these when his inner child shines through.

Getting his bearings, Meelis quickly made his way through the capital and studied each place he visited just in case he gets lost or needs to visit a specific place.

Sadly, it was not as interesting as he assumed, he quickly got bored of it, so he just decided to head to Lucifer Castle to request his Evil Pieces.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Scene Change-

Making his inside the Giant Medieval Castle, there was a small line of kids, who are most probably nobles, alongside their family servants, waiting for the receptionist to let them through into a separate room.

Being an impatient person, Meelis approached the kid in front of him in line and asked, "hey dude, is this the line for the Evil Pieces, how long is the wait?"

The kid turned around, looked at Meelis' attire and snorted in disdain, "A low born devil shouldn't even be here, don't waste your time here peasant."

Meelis' expression froze for a second, before rage almost consumed him, having always been pushed around by others for one reason or another, Meelis was sick of being looked down upon or being manipulated; however, he wasn't stupid, he knew now was not the time to pick any fight, so he shut his mouth and did his best to ignore the kid before he snaps his neck in rage.

The kid and his servant noticed Meelis' expression, but neither cared much for a low-class devil.

Meelis also noticed them not caring and studied them carefully for any identifying feature so he could get back at him one day. He immediately noticed the Naberious house symbol on the servant and became thoughtful.

'Naberious… isn't that the house that did experiments on their servants?'

'Then this kid… he should be a younger clan member of the guy who owned Kuroka and Koneko.'

Meelis smiled in his head and began plotting.

 Eventually it was finally his turn when the receptionist asked him. "Hello where is your request form?"

Meelis, obviously not having one since he was not from a pillar house nor a high-class devil, went about the procedure a different way.

"Ma'am, I am an illegitimate member of the Zagan house, I want to obtain my Evil Pieces and reform my house. I was hoping you'd keep my visit a secret and call a Satan to verify my authenticity." As he said that, Meelis pulled out a sack full of Ahras.

The receptionist, initially astonished, quickly got herself together and skillfully took the bag, "Don't worry lord Zagan, I'll make sure you identity is both kept a secret and verified by a Satan."

-Scene Change-

(Sirzechs POV)

Sirzechs was as usual handling the devil affairs, slaving away at his desk, when suddenly he gets a call from Ajuka.

"Ajuka, it's unusual for you to call me instead of working on your research, did something happen?" Sirzechs asked with confusion.

"Yes, something did happen Sirzechs, I just got a call from one of my employees, apparently there is a child claiming to be an illegitimate child of the Zagan house." Ajuka stated in a serious tone.

Sirzechs was shocked, while the Zagans were not the strongest or deadliest house, there is no denying the strategic value that they possess.

"Well, what is up then, did you verify the child's identity?" he asked.

"I did a preliminary background check on him, completely blank, he used to live in an orphanage and didn't even have a name, not to mention he never demonstrated any bloodline abilities." Ajuka stated.

"So, you think he's lying?" he asked back.

"I don't know, he could have awakened his ability late, or simply never used it for fear of being kidnapped or killed. I'll only know once we verify his magic and his family Crest magic circle." Ajuka answered.

"Well, what are we waiting for then, lets verify the identity of our little mysterious Zagan."

Both Sirzechs and Ajuka individually teleported to the castle where Meelis was at.
