Demon necklace
Chapter 14
[Demon necklace]
It was Sunday morning. I got out of bed and took a bath. After taking a bath I ate breakfast and worked out a bit.
[Strength: 74]
[Agility: 72]
[Stamina: 72]
[Defense:72]
I did my usual workout and got 50 stat points added to my strength, agility, stamina, and defense. This shocked me. I was much stronger than before.
"Isn't this kinda cheating? I'm growing way too fast" but I couldn't actually complain.
I opened up a portal so that I could test out my strength.
I was at a canyon and saw a group of low ranked demons. I grin started to form on my face.
***
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
I levelled up 3 times making me now Level 6.
[Level: 6]
[Health: 150/150]
[Strength: 78]
[Agility: 74]
[Defense: 74]
[Stamina: 74]
[Intelligence: 110]
[Exp: 0/600]
I then realized that I can now use the demon necklace. I quickly took it out and wore it.
[Demon necklace equipped +100 all stats]
The necklace was just a black stone tied to a bit of string. It looked plain but the effects it had were really good.
I tested it out by punching the stone wall beside me.
Crack!
Shatter!
The whole wall was demolished by a single punch. I wasn't even using my strength multiplier. And then a notification popped up.
[Completed quest "surpass the limits"]
[Gained skill "limit breaker"]
I didn't know this quest existed. But what bothered me the most was the skill.
[Limit breaker (passive): removes progress bar of any skill.]
I was shocked by this. Now I can use both strength multiplier and lightning speed at full force. But after seeing what I can do. I think that I should not use those two skills for now.
***
I was walking around the unknown world until I stumbled upon a sight that would cause normal people to shiver in fear. It was a gate that was guarded by a three headed dog.
Just from seeing the guard which was Cerberus without a doubt. I already knew what it was guarding. The gates of hell itself. I walked towards it and to my surprise Cerberus bowed down.
"Was it because of the demon necklace? If so then this thing is really useful"
I held one of Cerberus' heads.
[Do you want to make Cerberus your dimensional beast?]
"Yes"
And without warning the ritual started.
***
I woke up and just like before Cerberus is now my dimensional beast. I kicked open the gate.
"I should really learn how to control this" I thought as I saw the gate went flying.
I then saw a sword that was engraved into a boulder. I pulled it out with ease.
[You have received item "Demon Lord's blade"]
[???]
Nothing about the item was displayed.
[This is new]
"Why?"
[I haven't seen something like this before. I mean I know the name but I can't seem to measure its power. You better be careful on using this. It might be too powerful.]
"Eh? Worried for me?" I teased the system a bit.
[W-what are you saying?!]
"Tsundere"
I suddenly felt as if someone smacked me in the head.
I looked around and saw no one.
"Was that you?!"
[...]
This will truly be troublesome.
***
I got back to my own dimension and ate lunch. I then realized something.
"Hey uhh system?"
[Yes?]
"Do both Rulid and Cerberus have the need to eat?"
[Yes, however as they are currently inside you they won't feel hunger. But not feeding them would make your bond lessen.]
"Thanks"
[...]
She didn't reply huh? I sighed.
They came out and I was both shocked and amazed. Before they were both 5 meters tall now they 're only a mere 2 two feet.
I then went to the fridge and took two raw meat. I gave one to each. They seem to enjoy it. It seems like even though Cerberus has three heads it only had one consciousness.
After they finished eating they returned to my shadow once more.
A memory then popped up in my head. It was the secret cult that Kyle had.
[Whatever you are thinking don't do it]
"Alright alright"
Why was the system suddenly so caring? Ever since for some unknown reason it got a consciousness it became like this.
While looking at my status I looked at my skills and saw a new skill.
"Shadow claw?"
[Ah…]
"How can you forget?!?"
[I am truly sorry!]
Is it just me or did I just feel like the system tried to sound cute?
***
It was afternoon. I went outside to buy more meat.
Once again I saw them. I was tempted to check their hideout once more. But even so I listened to the system and ignored them.
I then heard a familiar voice.
A nerve popped out of my head.
"How TF do I keep running into either Hina or Stella!?!"
[Chick magnet?]
"Oi!"
[Pft! Ahahaha!]
I sighed and waved back. She ran closer to me.
Even though she was trying to hide it I could clearly see that she wanted to ask something.I sighed.
She nods
"Eh? Preliminary matches? Isn't it too soon? Are they rushing the event?"
I then realized that this would be a good way of gaining exp. I nod.
"What the? I didn't notice it. Hey system? Can you warn me every time this happens?"
[Sure]
"Why was glowing anyway?"
[Answer: it's because of your thirst for power. The cause sometimes is rage or you just being serious.]
"Thanks"
I closed my eyes and my eyes turned to normal.
She's suddenly trying to act cute.
