(Hail: You may wonder why sometimes I use Child of destiny and other times son of destiny, Well, when it is in Reji's pov, in the game he could pick a male or female model, But in this world Pov, It was the son of destiny, As Reji cleared it with a male character)
--------
Reji placed his hand on the magic stone, and Shermen standing beside him immediately tensed up. The Shadow Demon was clearly prepared for the worst-case scenario: if their king was exposed by the human's detection, she would protect the king and retreat with all her might.
As the magic stone emitted a faint white light, symbolizing the lowest level, Shermen finally let go of the tension, her admiration for Reji growing even more.
Humans had magic stones a thousand years ago, so Shermen was well aware that even they the Shadow Demons couldn't guarantee a 100% concealment against such stones. Yet, the demon king was not only powerful and insightful but even in hiding his presence, he far exceeded the Shadow Demons!
Easily deceiving humans, despite possessing top-tier power, he could still disguise such a low-level illusion on the magic stone.
'Although I can also deceive the magic stone, there would always be a tiny bit of aura leaking out'
And even just a tiny bit, once detected by the magic stone, would likely cause the stone to light up brightly. If it were a lower-grade magic stone, it might even explode due to being unable to withstand the energy.
During the human-demon war a thousand years ago, that cunning Son of Destiny had used this to his advantage.
Intentionally using the lowest-grade magic stones to inspect the human elites, he easily identified many spies that the demon race had painstakingly infiltrated, causing them heavy losses.
Reminiscing, Shermen pursed her lips. Even with her indifferent personality, she harbored deep shadows and fears regarding the Chosen One of humanity from a thousand years ago.
This is also why, despite sensing that the humans around her were incredibly weak, all of them ants she could crush with half a finger, she remained extremely cautious and dared not let her guard down.
On the other hand,
'Indeed, as the Wisdom Demon said, the new demon king our race welcomed after a thousand years was like an endless treasure. The more we interacted with his majesty, the more we discovered surprises at every turn'
The gloom that once hung over them under the Child of Destiny seemed to gradually dissipate as she followed the new king, and the confidence of her and the demon race, once shattered by the Child of Destiny, was being slowly picked up again.
On the other side.
Reji could feel Shermen's respectful gaze.
But in reality.
The bitterness inside Reji, he knew best himself.
His attributes were all "1", where was the need for any concealment?
It was a natural performance, purely natural.
This further solidified Reji's resolve to quickly improve himself.
There's no need to look any further.
Once Reji completed the registration and acquired the adventurer identity, by casually taking on four commissions to fulfill daily tasks, with the rewards given by the system under the hundredfold enhancement of the Demon King's trajectory, he could undergo a complete transformation today, rising at least twenty to thirty levels!
Seeing the result from Reji's magic stone, the staff didn't discriminate against him for it.
Rather, this was the current situation for the majority of newcomers from outside areas.
Initially, the staff saw that Reji had a companion with him and wanted to test Shermen as well, but Reji stopped them, indicating it wasn't necessary. Afterward, all procedures went smoothly, and it wasn't long before a badge symbolizing the "Black Iron Level" was added to Reji's chest.
"Sir, this is the commission list provided by the association based on your rating. You have complete autonomy in choosing."
"However, please note that once you accept a commission, any breach, cancellation, failure, etc., will be recorded and affect your credibility rating.
If your credibility score is too low, we will forcibly revoke your certification within the association, and you will not be able to apply for qualifications from the association for a certain period."
As the staff spoke, they handed Reji a tablet. The tablet was enchanted with a simple spell, and text magically appeared in front of Reji, listing about a dozen commissions.
Being the lowest Black Iron level, the commissions were very simple, mostly involving tasks like delivering messages, parcels, carrying goods, going to the lowest-level wild forests to gather herbal materials, etc.
However.
Next, Shermen suddenly frowned, the affectionate and gentle expression she had while holding the little cat vanished entirely.
"My King, there's something wrong with this little cat."
Shermen seemed to sense something, changing her approach and abruptly gripping the little cat's neck tightly with her hand. The cat, which had been meowing, now seemed frightened, frantically flailing its limbs.
'Something wrong?'
'What does that mean?'
'Wait, could it be...'
Reji quickly guessed, the only thing that could make Shermen change her expression like that, he directly cast a [Check]on the little cat, and what made Reji's expression become serious was...
The Check spell actually Returned a result.
And to know, in the game, [Check]could only be successfully used on... corpses.
Seeing the [Check]return on the screen, Reji fully understood why Shermen was so tense and on high alert now.
