Chapter 286: Doom and Gloom

Seven Sins System Chapter 286. Doom and Gloom

My chuckle carried a wry amusement, echoing within the confines of the conversation that had veered into rather unexpected territory.

"Is it because I tortured that soul?" I ventured.

Her nod was measured.

"It's just a form of his punishment," I acknowledged. Indeed, the tormented souls within the realm bore the weight of their actions, their agony an intricate dance with the sins they had committed.

Still, Julia's perspective was a reminder that not all could perceive our realm through the same lens. "I know it's just a form of his punishment. Still... I think death is better than long torture like that," she confessed, her voice a gentle whisper carrying the weight of her empathy.

A quirked eyebrow conveyed my curiosity. "He is dead already," I remarked, a hint of dry humor underscoring my words.

Julia's counter was swift and laced with a touch of defensiveness. "It's just a metaphor. I don't really mean that," she clarified, a hint of a sheepish smile gracing her lips.

Taking a deliberate inhale, I let the weight of my confession hang in the air for a moment before releasing it into the currents of conversation.

"I'm a devil, Julia," I stated candidly, my words carrying the weight of my reality. "And I act like one." There was a measured honesty in my tone.

With a contemplative pause, I continued. "I punish souls and manage the underworld city, the kingdom, the realm. I know what I do in the mortal realm is very different from this and there is a time when I have a hard time adjusting there without all the privileges I have."

"Yeah, I can imagine that..." Her voice held a mixture of both understanding and uncertainty.

"You have a point..." she conceded, her voice carrying a hint of realization.

A knowing smile curled on my lips. "That's why you shouldn't be afraid of the shadow," I asserted, leaning back casually against the couch. "We exist precisely because the light doesn't always want to finish the job properly," I continued, emphasizing the nuance of balance.

"They only want to take the good things and leave the dirty work for us," I declared, the words ringing with a certain truth that resonated within the confines of our reality.

A chuckle escaped my lips, a wry expression that held a touch of irony. "Light and shadow are two things that cannot be separated after all," I mused aloud. It was a symbiotic relationship, one that existed not in isolation but in harmonious coexistence.

Instead, I shifted the tone with a shrug, an air of nonchalance that often marked my demeanor. "So... Here we are, living in the shadow and more accustomed to the art of torture and punishment than anything else." I picked up my glass, swirling the champagne within with a thoughtful gaze. "But hey, it's not all doom and gloom," I quipped, breaking the intensity with a playful grin. "We've got our own brand of adventure, mystery, and a nightlife that's to die for," I added with a wink, raising my glass in a mock toast to the unconventional reality we shared.
