Demon System.

Unknowingly for Erix, he slept the whole day. He had come home yesterday by 4:30 and had slept till 9:00 am. He was so tired and worn out that he didn't even recall what happened yesterday.

"Why does my head hurt so much?" Eric winced in pain, while holding his aching head.

He was feeling sick, probably because he had caught a cold from the boy's water ability and the heavy wind outside, but he didn't have anything now. It was as if what happened yesterday was a lie and that today was the start of a totally new life.

However, to start his life in a new way as he thought, he decided to take a shower. It was 9 am already and the military was supposed to come pick him up by 10 am. So he had only an hour to prepare before their arrival.

He didn't have to take his luggage with him since the military will be providing them everything, and since they would be in uniform there, they didn't need clothes either.

Quickly entering the small bathroom, he didn't take shower at once.

He first took off his clothes and looked at himself in the bathroom mirror.

Erix had clear crimson hair but preferred it black. The reason was because the red hair usually attracted unnecessary attention which would always end him being bullied. So he always end up dying his hair black before leaving for school every morning.

His eye color was the same as his hair, just that it was a little darker. He wasn't as ugly as some of his bullies but wasn't handsome either. He was just in between the tiny lines.

Though, he had the impression that he had changed a little.

"Is it I or my hair is a little smoother?"

It wasn't just his imagination since it was real. Due to the boy's water ability that soaked him drenched yesterday, all his hair was ruffled all over his face, whereas now, it was a little more arranged.

"It's not like I usually care about them anyways, so I see no point in focusing on that." He brushed off his thoughts and entered the bathtub.

His shower was unusually long. He still had one long hour before the military would arrive, so he cleaned himself as much as he could.

While washing himself Erix noticed something in his skin. He noticed that his skin was strangely smooth and new as though his old skin was torn off and replaced with new one.

"My skin isn't as beaten as before. It almost appears as if I gained a new skin overnight."

Not lingering more about that, he went on with his shower, and after forty minutes or so, he got out. The shower was indeed refreshing. He felt so refreshed that he had the impression that all his worries went away.

Not that it was by any means possible but the thought only, reassured him. Joining the military would be the biggest catch of his life and a totally new beginning in his life. Though the information about what they will do there was unrevealed, he still believed that it was for the greater good.

The military was quite secretive about their operations. They didn't share any information about themselves with the outside world because one, they weren't the only powerful force on earth, there were also other big families. So if the military was sharing every bit of their training aspect and other stuff, they would surely be at a disadvantage over other forces. Second was because of how intelligent Sulckers were.

Though the war ended with a peace treaty between both races, it wasn't completely over. Sulckers only backed off for a while until earth lowered its guard. And as a matter of fact, many humans were working for them.

These were the people that believed that humanity had no chance of winning the war, so in order to live, they surrendered themselves as slaves to Sulckers. So after the war, these humans were sent as spies to earth. They were to gather information on how earth was progressing in strength.

So the military needed to be secretive to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of them, and their human allies to know how they proceed.

For now, peace was only there because there were enough powerhouses on both sides that were preventing each other from evading. So if the military was attacked the balance would be distorted and another war would break out.

After coming out of the bathroom, Erix put on some clothes and prepared himself to eat.

Since he couldn't afford meat, Erix had forcibly turned vegetarian.

So he prepared vegetables since he only had that.

Not that he could have been able to eat more anyway. His stomach was small so he needed to keep living even without much food.

Once the vegetable was done, he served himself, and in no time he was eating.

However, something happened. The vegetable tasted sour, and it was disgusting. He tried to eat it but just couldn't. After many attempts to continue eating it and wouldn't, he spit them all out from his mouth.

"How come? I ate vegetables yesterday morning, and they never tasted this bad." He was talking to himself before something appeared before his eyes.

It was green in color and looked like the video game rich kids normally plays after school.

[Poisonous substance has been consumed]

[Cleansing action activated]

"What is this?" He asked the thing but got no answer. Instead, the disgusting taste he once had in his mouth faded as though it was cleansed for real.

A few seconds later, the message disappeared.

"No, No, wait, don't disappear like that," Erix said in a pleading tone, but nothing happened. He then tried to visualize the window screen in his head, and surprisingly, something with digits appeared in front of his eyes again.

"What…the….fuck..?" Erix stuttered with wide eyes.

This green screen appeared out of thin air. It was strange because numbers were indicating his stats in real life.

He tried to touch the screen but his hands only passed through.

"What the? Does this mean I'm the only one seeing this?" He questioned himself. He then ran to the mirror in his bathroom to see through but there was no reflection on it.

"Seems I'm the only one seeing this thing." Curiosity was getting the best of him.

Looking closely at the screen, Erix noticed a few smaller tabs under it. The tabs were all arranged in horizontal rows.

However, just like he did a while ago when summoning the screen, by visualizing it, the first tab beneath the screen surfaced out.

[Skill tab]

[Skill locked:????]

[Skill locked:????]

"As supposed, which level 1 could be granted skill just easily," Erix said in a tone of anger but quickly calmed. There were still more tabs to check out.

[Unholy shop««««Locked]

[Reach level 10 to unlock Sin shop]

"Otherwise, it could have been too termed easy. But can." He thought before moving over to the last tab in the row and that was the [Quest] tab.

[Main quest]

[Daily quest]

Unlike the two other tabs, this one had a subcategory. So Erix went in order and thought about the main quest category.

[Main quest]

[Reach level 10]

"That would surely take a lifetime to achieve."

He then moved toward the next subcategory.

[Daily quest]

- [Do five push-ups

Reward: 5 exp]

- [Drink 1½ Litre of water

Reward: 5 exp]

"These two look kinda easy." Erix then looked at his watch. "Whoa, 9:50 already. Time flies pretty fast when you're busy. I should try these quests before the military gets here."

Erix quickly got on his knees and began to do the five push-ups simultaneously. Even though he was weak and a poor level one, five push-ups were nothing to him.

[5 exp received]

"Wow, at least I know the thing works," Erix said, excitement evident in his tone. He rushed over to his study desk and grabbed two bottles of water. At once, he gulped one and half of the water in it.

"Shit! Feels like my stomach is gonna burst any time soon."

[Daily quests completed. 5 exp received]

[+2 quest points]

[Experience point]

-[Quest points: 2/100]

-[exp:10/100]

Just then a loud knock was heard on the door. The sound was so sudden that it made Erix's heart skip a beat. He looked at his watch and saw it was 10 am on dot.

At that moment he needed no sorcerer to tell him who was on the door.

So quickly, he rushed and grabbed his coat on the bed before going to answer the door.

"This is the military. The vehicle is waiting outside. Let's leave now." A tall bald headed man in military uniform announced the moment Erix opened the door.

'As expected, they are always on the right time.' He thought before exiting his room.
