Chapter 7 - New Status

"I will go ahead with this plan." Although there may be better ideas, I want to see those scoundrels in person, I want to see everything and find out everything, I will make them witness what despair is.

I don't mind being patient, the revenge will be even sweeter when I crush them.

"I understand your Majesty, since you have decided to accept this option, we will prepare everything, as well as teach your Majesty etiquette, martial arts, and choose a weapon, we will also teach you how to use your magic," she says with a smile. Elena is very beautiful, I wonder if it's because she's a succubus or if she's special.

A servant enters and speaks with Elena.

"Your Majesty, here is a system crystal, I apologize for the delay."

"System Crystal? What is that?"

"It serves to create your system, so your Majesty can see how strong you really are."

'My status... I'm a little nervous, but now as the Demon King, I know that at least my status is not trash.' I hold the purple-colored crystal, and it soon glows and then turns completely gray.

"... So, that's it?" I expected more, it was quite simple.

"Yes, your Majesty, now you can check your status."

"Status."

15=Blood of the Ancients - As a being of the Abyss, your vitality is abnormal for living beings, so you can survive even if you receive severe damage or have vital organs destroyed.

"... WOW." I can only be impressed, this status is monstrous, my previous status was absolute trash compared to this one.

"W-Why do I already have the maximum level?"

"Your Majesty has the maximum level because you are the Demon King, all Demon Kings are born at the maximum level, but with a large part of their power sealed. Your power will remain sealed until your body gets used to the status."

'What a cheat...' All Demon Kings are already born as cheaters, and I like that.

"And all these incredible abilities?" I ask Elena why I have so many abilities.

"Since birth, all Demon Kings will have various powers, and this list will continue to grow as a new tab of learned abilities appears in the future."

"That's incredible..." Tsubasa, who has the highest level, only has level 4,000, and I have level 100,000, I'm much stronger than him.

"However, Your Majesty, even though your status is high, you must still be cautious, abilities and strategy are as important as status, and there are also items to fight against stronger opponents."

'She's right... I'm not invincible, if I'm not careful, I can be killed.' I would never accept losing my life again, I will be cautious, but it's impossible not to get excited about this status.

"I have a name... Was it the Goddess who named me?" I ask Elena.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the only one who could give you a name is your mother."

"I understand, so from now on my name is Pandora Aegis Oblivion." Saying my new name really makes me happy, it's as if my weak past self has completely disappeared.

I am no longer Takashi Nakamura, now I am the Demon King Pandora Aegis Oblivion.

"I want to test... Is there somewhere I can test my power?" I don't know how to use anything, but I can't stay still without testing how incredible all this is.

"Of course, Your Majesty, as soon as you finish eating, we can go."

I start eating everything quickly so we can go soon, the taste is delicious, although the raw meat has its own charm as well. After finishing the meal, I realize how huge this body's appetite is.

I just ate more than 30 medium-sized meals.

"Do I normally have such a big appetite, Elena?" I ask her, I think it would be a problem if I ate so much at every meal.

"Yes, Your Majesty, since you were just born, your body needs a large amount of nutrients, but don't worry, I've ordered the maids to make your meals with the maximum amount of nutrients possible."

"Probably in 1 week your appetite will start to decrease."

"I see, then let's go, I want to test my power." Seeing me act this way, it seems like my mentality has regressed, but I'm too excited, this is the first time since I was 13 that I've been so excited about something.

I had to mature earlier from that age due to bullying, so now that I have so much power, I can act however I want, whether mature or childish, no one will be able to complain.

Soon she takes me to some kind of arena, in the middle there are several people tied to crosses, all of them crying and struggling to get out.

'Demons seem to be a bit cruel, but it's not my problem.' I don't feel anything seeing them that way, all my morality died along with Takashi, to me everything in the arena is just targets for testing.

"What should I use first..." I think about my abilities.

"I know, Shadow Sculpture." As soon as I finish speaking, a black spear emerges from the ground, impaling one of my "targets." I notice how the base of the spear mainly arises from the ambient shadows.

'So if there are no shadows, this ability is nullified...' It's good to know my own weaknesses, I don't want to be caught off guard.

All my targets cry even more desperately at seeing what happened to the first target hit.

"Shadow Sculpture." I try to create something living, from my shadow emerges some kind of wolf.

"Just as I imagined..." The wolf has the exact form I thought, but does it obey me?

"Attack that person..." I give an order to the shadow wolf, it soon starts running and jumps on the target, it starts tearing the target apart with its claws, guts and intestines flying with each movement as the target dies slowly.

"This is amazing..." My first ability has already proven to be impressive.

'What does [Abyss Reflection] do? It seems super cool from the name.'

"Abyss Reflection." Soon, darkness spreads, covering everything, nothing is visible except the purest darkness, as if the place had been completely swallowed, all that exists is me, the objects, and the targets.

The people start dying instantly.

"W-What, why did they die?"

"Y-Your Majesty, cough." I look at Elena and notice she's coughing up blood, I quickly deactivate the Abyss Reflection and run to her.

"Are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."

"I'm fine, Your Majesty, forgive me for being too weak, my area of expertise is not combat, so I'm not very resistant to this type of attack."

"Why did they die? That ability should only weaken and paralyze..."

"This happens, Your Majesty, because if you weaken something too much, it dies. As Your Majesty is very strong for common beings, this is enough to kill them, but they can block the weakening with magic."

"I see..." They were just common humans, it was obvious they would die if taken to a part of the abyss, I didn't think a weakening ability would be so strong, and now all the targets are dead, and I hurt Elena.

"I have no control..." I'm strong, but my control over this power is zero, it wasn't my intention to hurt Elena, and yet she was affected.

"It's no problem, Your Majesty, you were just born, so it's natural not to have any control." She comforts me with a gentle smile, the smile is beautiful even with the blood, it seems to seduce me.

"..." The scent is great, my sense of smell can detect her blood from here. My race is a Tenebris Abyssus, I'm a daughter of the abyss as she had said, maybe that's why blood and meat tend to be tempting.

"Bend down a little." She's 1 head taller than me.

She kneels and looks at my face.

'Now it's too low... Never mind.'

I hold her face and kiss her, licking the blood, I've never kissed before, so this is my first kiss, but the scent is too tempting to resist.

Smack, chup.

I lick the blood on her lips as I deepen the kiss, I never thought my first kiss would be to taste blood, but the flavor is delicious. Elena seems very confused and surprised by my sudden kiss.

She's not sure whether to stand still, pull away, or return the kiss, when I finish licking all the blood from her mouth, I pull away, her gaze is slightly disappointed, as if she had lost a valuable opportunity.

'It's good...' Her blood was the tastiest so far, I don't know what makes the flavor better, but she was the one with the best taste so far.

"Let's eat something?" I finished the meal less than 30 minutes ago, but I'm already hungry again, at least this hunger will only last a few days.

"Y-Yes, Your Majesty." She responds, her face completely flushed from the kiss, the realization finally hits me.

'My Goddess...' I put my hand on my lip and realize what I did, I acted on pure impulse and kissed her, the taste and sensation still etched in my mind, her soft and delicious lips make me want to try it again.

I decide to stop thinking about it and follow Elena to go eat something.
