Seven Sins System Chapter 2. The Seven Sins System

"The gate room?" I repeated once more in disbelief.

"Yes. He also asked you to come alone. He said he already has his own candidate," added Ivy.

I raised one of my eyebrows.

"His own candidate?" I repeated it in the same shock and disbelief. Seriously, I didn't know of another stronger and more trustworthy demon than what I wrote on the list.

"He asked me to call you so you can send him right away," Ivy said.

Curious, I got up from my chair. Ivy also got off my lap due to my movement.

"Clear my desk. I'll be right back." Without further ado, I used my Teleportation skill to the gate room in the first tower. My dark aura engulfed me, turning my body into a cloud of smoke.

A second later I was in front of a huge stone black door. The crest of the demon kingdom was in the middle. Engraving ancient spells surrounded the sides. Great power from within it convinced me that my father, Diablo Bloodeye de Nightfall, had activated the gate.

I walked in a hurry to the big door.

"Caedos!" I ordered and the door opened by itself. The sound of my footsteps on the stone floor echoed throughout the room which was only filled by the huge pillars.

My eyes fell on the gate which resembled a dark purple-black big hole at the far end of the room. My father was standing in front of it. He was about 6 feet tall, the same as my height, and had a good build body.

Even though we looked alike, his hair, which was longer than mine, covered the back of his neck and his face looked like a man at the end of his 30s. Unlike my neat appearance, he looked shabby by only wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. He was a king, but he dressed like he was going to the beach.

"Where's the candidate?" I asked without further ado since I only saw him in this place.

Instead of answering me, he asked something else.

"You've already made a contract with seven strongest demon beasts, right?"

"Yeah."

He nodded repeatedly.

"Good."

I frowned at his mysterious attitude.

"Tell me, what happened? Where's the candidate?" I asked again.

Again, he answered me with another thing.

I hated to admit it, but yeah... I had been relying on the power of wrath too much. That was the reason why I sank into insanity and slaughtered all my enemies mercilessly in the last war.

Indeed, it wasn't a nice move. Moreover, I felt like an unintelligent monster after that power overwhelmed me and as a leader, it would be unwise if I lost my mind.

"But doing this mission and expanding my power at the same time... Isn't that unwise?"

He chuckled.

"It's the mortal realm, Azrael. Even if your level drops to level 1, you won't lose. After all, you only need to look for evidence and the mortal realm's monsters are much weaker than ours." A mischievous smirk bloomed on his lips.

"In addition, they have many beautiful women. You should bring one or two as your succubi," he teased.

I took a deep breath.

"True." I studied the mortal realm through books some time ago. So this shouldn't be a problem for me. But then, I realized something important.

"Wait, what do you mean by level 1---" Unfortunately, it was too late. Faster than a flash of lightning, he teleported in front of me and pushed the seed into my core.

After that, I couldn't speak a word except screams of pain. I glanced at my core. The seed let out sticky black cobwebs before entering my core completely. The pain burned my whole body as my strength disappeared. It was the most hellish thing I ever felt.

I fell to my knees. One by one my demonic features crumbled into pieces, including my thick armor skin that covered my body.

- Brak!

As my last Demonic features disappeared from my body, my whole body hit the ground. The only one that came out of my mouth was my grunt since I didn't have the strength to scream anymore.

My vision was getting blurry. What I could see was only the vague figure of my father and a screen in front of me.

[Congratulations! You have reset your power!]

[Installing the seven sins system on your core... ]

"What... Have you done... To me... ?" I said weakly.

"The power of wrath has created an imbalance in you, so the seed will reset it. Don't worry, it doesn't disappear from you. The seed only keeps it and will release it gradually. Your power will be evenly distributed and your level will also rise quickly compared to others." That answer sounded faint to my ears.

Then I could feel my body slowly move away from the ground and float towards the portal.

"As for your job, I will take care of it. I have burdened you a lot over the last 100 years, but I have to create this seed. While your sister is still immature so I have no other choice but to put all of my workload on you. And Ivy, I will tell her about this. I also have prepared a puppet for your double so you don't have to worry. Just concentrate on your mission," he explained.

I wanted to ask a lot of questions but I was too weak. After that, all I saw was darkness as my consciousness disappeared.
