Chapter 8: It's Me, The Devil.

Seven Sins System Chapter 8. It's Me, The Devil.

The sound of footsteps from behind me distracted me from her.

"Ava, what did you do to him?!" Carl snapped as soon as he arrived at my side. His anger filled his friendly face. I didn't even see his fear anymore.

A five-year-old boy was lying weakly in Carl's arms. His slightly skinny body looked dirty as well as his messy blonde hair. He buried his face in Carl's shoulder and his hands wrapped around his father's neck.

Due to his weak condition, I used my skill on him.

'Analyze.'

[Name: Conny Dewfire]

[Ages: 5]

[Level 1] [Race: Human]

[HP: 21/31] [MP: 11/11]

[Skills: N/A]

[Emotion: Fear, relief.]

[Condition: hunger, dehydration, bruises]

"We only taught him a little lesson," Ava replied.

"He's starving. How long has he been there?" I asked before Ava answered Carl's question.

"A-A day," Ava said.

"He's innocent. He has nothing to do with our problem. Why did you do it?!" yelled Carl hysterically. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

Ava gritted her teeth and looked at Conny with anger.

"That brat tries to run away and keeps raving about you!" she yelled.

"You!" Without a second thought, Carl grabbed the gun behind his jeans and shot Ava.

As Ava's body fell and her HP point changed to zero, an announcement appeared in front of me.

[All enemies have been defeated!]

[Congratulations! You have completed your first quest!]

[Congratulations! You have defeated your first enemy!]

[ATK: 275] [M.ATK: 275]

[SPD: 31] [DEF: 31]

"Ah, what a waste. You can sell this bitch on the street if you want, ya know," I said in a nonchalant tone. To be sure with such her annoying attitude, I had no interest in making her my succubus.

"I don't care anymore," Carl said desperately. His sob sounded between his words and tears rolled down his face.

He put his gun on the table and walked towards the exit with a blank stare. His frustration was evident on his face.

After I took out the pitcher from the tray, I reached out my hand for the other ingredients.

'Devil's craft. Nutritional Tonic.'

Dark miasma burst out of my palm and enveloped all the ingredients, engulfing them in the darkness. A couple of seconds later, the darkness dissipated like smoke, revealing a glass filled with a creamy liquid with an appetite-stimulating fragrance and a pile of disgusting black trash by its side.

[A Nutritional Tonic has been created!]

[Name: Nutritional Tonic]

[Type: Usable Items]

[Special potion made from food essence and an HP potion that can restore one's health. This potion is suitable for the sick.]

While the waste on its side was the residue.

"Give him little by little. Then let him sleep, he will be fine by tomorrow morning," I instructed.

"W-What's that?" asked Carl.

"Nutritional Tonic. It works faster than any medicine."

Seeing I had healed Conny's wounds, Carl helped Conny to sit and gave him the drink as I said.

Conny drank it slowly. But after a sip, he finished the tonic quickly out of hunger and thirst.

"I'm thirsty, daddy..." Said Conny.

Just as I expected, his face looked brighter.

Fluids were more easily absorbed than any food. After all, he also needed it due to his dehydration.

Carl's worry started to disappear. Swiftly, Carl gave him another glass of water.

[Congratulations! You have completed your first side quest!]

[Level Up!]

[You are now Level 5. HP +20, DP + 20, ATK and MATK + 5, DEF and SPD +2]

[Now you can use your tentacles]

[ATK: 280] [M.ATK: 280]

[SPD: 33] [DEF: 33]

'Sweet!' Since I could use my tentacles, everything would become easier. Even before the system came to me, I used my tentacles for everything. Well, mostly killed my enemies. But it was also very useful for doing my paperwork.

"Carl, can you take him upstairs? I have to take care of this." My gaze pointed at Ava's corpse near the wall.

"Okay," he replied.

After Conny finished another glass of water, Carl picked him up and hugged him tightly. As his feet stepped towards the stairs, he buried his son's face into his shoulder, trying to hide the terrifying sight around them.

Once they were upstairs, I stood up from my seat and called out my tentacles.

'Gluttony.'

My six tentacles burst out of my back like fierce snakes out of their nest. Thousands of mouths resembling those of bloodsuckers' filled them. I grinned evilly.

"Let's eat them up."

Note: There are many types of demihumans in the mortal realm. So the mortal realm also uses magic threads for their clothes.
