The Alpha was enraged. He glanced at the imp who was disturbing others and walked imposingly towards him.
The earth quivered, his chest heaved up and high, and his long barbed tail swayed around, hitting the walls harder than slaves’ axes.
The imp panicked, staring at his friend, who lost his mind.
"Kin! Kin! Kin! The Alpha is angry! Stop now! You’ll die."
However, Myles was careless.
He could not help but explode in a hoot of laughter.
I really thought that was the end. That my hard work to materialize into the reality of becoming above after below someone was put to an end by a bullet.
"Do you want to end your life now?! Kin, stop!"
Myles was startled awake.
He frowned and glanced at the imp.
"What are you screaming around for?"
"I should be the one asking that to you." A deep, rough voice echoed beside him.
He turned around and tilted his head upward just to see the other side’s face.
Myles gulped.
Damn, he’s huge.
"I should set you as an example."
Myles felt a sharp object struck the back of his head, instantly losing his consciousness.
The imp beside him wanted to shout but covered his mouth just in time.
His eyes welled in tears, helplessly watching his friend being taken away by the Alpha’s barbed tail.
The Alpha raised Myles high with his barbed tail and turned around.
He shouted. "Obnoxious worms will be taken out and sent to Mistress Veil. I’m pretty sure everyone is aware of the fate of those who were sent to her, am I wrong?"
They shivered in terror as they nodded their heads frantically.
Mistress Veil was the only daughter of the Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows.
As a succubus, they were known for their skills Charm and Energy Absorption. They suck dry the other demons with their energy absorption to evolve through the demon ranks.
It was exactly the reason they belonged to a noble race.
They glanced at the unconscious fellow imp in pity. In fact, the moment the Alpha laid his attention to him earlier when he fainted, they would not be surprised if he had already chosen him as among the batch to be sent to Mistress Veil today.
Every single day, as the imp race has a high fertility race, the Mistress Veil, who was currently managing the imps in the mine, ordered to capture an imp and be sent towards her.
Despite not stating the reason, everyone was already aware of the fate of those captured imps.
And today, it was Myles’ turn.
His only friend could only stare at him with teary eyes as Myles was dragged outside of the mine.
...
Myles’ eyelids quivered and slowly parted ways like a curtain. His eyes regained clarity and all he saw was a ceiling.
The ceiling was familiar...
Hmm? Did I return to earth? Was my death just a dream?
Soon, memories flooded inside his mind. He raised his hand and confirmed he had become a demon. The gaunt, red, long yellow nails... Yes, those were the nails of a repulsive creature.
He sighed.
He sat up and realized he was standing in a king-sized bed. The room was sumptuous and from how feminine the arrangement of the room was, he would not be surprised it was a personal room of a woman.
Myles bent his right knee and rested his right arm atop. He ruminated about his current circumstances.
I deliberately provoked that guy to escape from this place. I did risk my life but there’s no way they’ll kill a slave over something as trivial as laughing. I thought they would just set me free or sell me to a noble as their slave, that would definitely be better.
From my circumstances, it might be the latter. Although better, the situation might not be good depending on how my new owner will treat me.
He was currently alone in the room, so he grabbed the chance to understand his situation better.
"Do you hear me? What should I call you?"
The voice in his head did not respond.
Myles contemplated for a while and said, "Show me my current status."
[Name: Myles Martin
Demon Name: Vorash Kael Nethrux Zaal’eth Omnigra [Expand]
Rank: Rank 5 Lesser Demon
Bloodline: Ancient Demon of Gluttony [Expand]
Skills: Energy Drain]
Myles read his current status again and realized there was another section beside the Demon Name and Bloodline.
I might understand it better if it expands.
"Please expand the Demon Name."
The Expand word soon covered the whole hologram and a new wall of texts appeared.
[Demon Name: Vorash Kael Nethrux Zaal’eth Omnigra
Effects: Once others know and utter your full name, they will become your slave.
One word: slight weakening. Two words: You can sense and drain them remotely. Three words: You can issue mental commands. Four words: Their core becomes digestible. Five words: They will become your slave.
Restriction: Only a single individual shall know your name and utter them one at a time. Otherwise, the effects will be nullified.]
Myles was surprised. He did not expect that his Demon Name had opposite effects if others got to know and utter them.
However, the restrictions... It’s telling me to be careful in taking advantage of the effects.
As Myles was pondering the door knob twisted.
At the same time, he realized something.
He grinned.
The door was abruptly opened and a charming woman entered.
Myles was mesmerized. His heart skipped a beat.
The woman was definitely a demon, but her appearance was closer to a beauty queen in the human race.
Albeit, she had a long tail swaying around and tattoos-like spread around her body.
Her voluptuous body swayed seductively every time she stepped. Her purple plump lips screamed to be kissed. Her bedroom eyes swept around the room and when they landed at Myles, her tongue licked her lips as she smiled and walked towards Myles.
Myles’ heart raced.
He thought.
Fucking dangerous!
