"... I died... I... I died!!"
The boy's words were trembling as they met Marcus's ears.
Marcus was 5 meters away from the weeping boy, who was convincingly his younger self.
Marcus was pretty sure that he could not hear anything, anything at all!! besides the ringing cries of the boy which echoed deep inside his eardrums.
Oddly, he was not able to take his eyes off the weeping boy and focus on his inner demon, who seemed to float above him, shouting something at him.
But all the connotations and shouts from the Demon did not reach Marcus as it got inundated under the volume from the cries of his younger, whimpering self.
He felt that his demon was telling him something very serious. His intuition never lied to him, but as it was now, he couldn't move the way he wanted, instead, he could only keep his eyes straight towards the weepin
"I'm not afraid of you anymore... Because I have something else I'm scared of." "Just take me to the next one" "Sure thing" ............................................ The demon turned his back towards Marcus as he stepped closer to the very edge of the land inside the abyss. "I hope you realize what you are supposed to do inside this hidden memory of yours, Marcus" The demon spoke as he walked over to the edge. "Yes... I think I do have a rough idea of what I am supposed to do here" Marcus replied, his voice had greatly changed. It was no more the same voice that leaned a bit on the high pitchside. Instead, his voice which he uttered made the demon feel like he was talking to someone mature. Well, it made the demon feel like he was talking to someon
"Then what's the wait for?... Let's stop dawdling and just get this over with"........*Flash*Marcus and his demon jumped into the portal without any hesitation. Marcus seemed more interested than the demon as he took the first step into the void less portal.The demon who comprehended Marcus's interest was surprised, just minutes ago, the man before him was crying for petty reasons. Now just after enduring the hidden memories of his first dungeon which was supposedly one of his biggest traumas, he had started acting how an 18-year-old would.The light inside the portal was a bit too blinding,it was a bit too lustrous for Marcus, who had lost his powers for the time being. But he didn't wince, Instead, he stared into the exit point which was, now just a few meters away from him.The demon grinned to himself as he watched Marcus dive
On the very center of the screen was a familiar 'Play' button.Marcus, without any hesitation, clicked on the button.*Pant* *Pant*It was a movie... It looked like one.What played before Marcus was someone panting heavily while walking through the familiar dungeon of the nine tails. But the viewpoint in which it was exhibited was, oddly,in the first person.The experience, for him, felt like he was dwelling inside the movie.Just like Virtual Reality!!.And with the 8D sound ringing inside his ears, it was ultra realistic.The man, who could be probably Marcus as he thought, was walking through the woods.Suddenly, the bushes beside him started crinkling. Marcus watched as the man on the screen tried to start running.....&nb
"Which means I can use my system for casual purposes as well. And look what I found in my inventory"Marcus grinned as he showed his inventory to the demon.The demon's eyes gleamed as he looked at the inventory and laughed."No way!! KEKEKEKEK"[CR Cheat Perk: Omnipotent Master Of 6969]............................................"The name... *Cough* is interesting... I wonder what it would be... but I'm more interested in the perk I was supposed to obtain after clearing this dungeon"Marcus said as he tried clicking on the perk which was shaped as a science lab vial.But it didn't seem to react. It could've been probably because the system obstructed it for the time being or it could've been because he still had to finish the hidden memories and regain his powers back first."I kn
"It's simple..."Marcus stretched his limbs before turning back to look his demon in his eyes."You boost me up... and I'll climb"....."Seriously?"The demon asked."Why do you even ask? It's simple. You boost me up and I'll jump and grab one of its tails"Marcus pointed upwards as if accentuating his point."But you only have your right hand freed. Did you forget your left hand which is still chained? How will you even manage to pull yourself up there with just one of your hands?"The demon shrugged.It was a fact. Marcus still had a memory to clear, which meant he still had to break free from the last chain which was refraining him from freedom."Don't worry. I trust in my hand. This..."Marcus paused as he looked at his right hand which was the only one he could u
"Man..."Marcus sighed as he frantically clicked on them."I don't even know what they mean"Marcus thrust his finger into the window and held it on the vial as he sighed in downfall.*Ping*.....*Ping*"Eh... Woahhhhhh"Marcus who exclaimed had suddenly gone silent as he saw the details on the window tab which opened up before him as he held down his finger on the vial, which was displayed inside his inventory.[Useless CR Cheat Perk: Demise To Power][Demise To Power explained below][Demise To Power is called a Useless CR Cheat Perk because it's simply impossible for a mortal to achieve.

Ere"Oi Oi Marcus... If it's over, can you come down?. Let's get this over with"The Inner Demon poked his ears and looked at Marcus who was adoring something imperceptible to his eyes."Yea yea... I'm coming... By the way, you won't believe what I just got"Marcus said as he jumped from the 15 meter statue. He landed safely on the ground and seemed to grin smugly.But that was then when he realized something.He realized something that he ignorantly let go through his mind.He was oblivious of the fact that he had no powers... Which meant if he landed from that height, then his legs should have at least sprained if not broken.He recollected his memories back to a minute when the Demon called him down. It was as if he knew, Marcus would jump without hesitating. It was as if some part of his plan had worked successfully.
"You'll die in this pathetic state of yours Marcus..."The Inner Demon chuckled."Hm??... Are you sure about that??"Marcus's voice was like a striking bell to the demons as they almost lost balance because of the pressure Marcus gave out."I got something you never would have expected me to receive my demons!!""USE ALL"Marcus roared as he snapped his fingers.[Using all of the gift capsules]The system pinged......[Useless CR Cheat Perk: Demise To Power][Demise To Power explained below][Demise To Power is called a Useless CR Cheat Perk because it's simply impossible for a mortal to achieve.
