"Ugh," Argen flopped down on the rocky ground after his day of labor. He mostly picked out outfits, massaged her body, and other small tasks that just added to his fatigue.

They were pretty useless tasks, only to make him tired and miserable.

"Are you a new worker for Mistress Chang'e?" A boy that seemed to be around Argen's age said walking toward him and sitting down with an excited look on his face.

"Yeah… "Worker" I guess you could say something like that," Argen said sighing as he wondered how to get out of this.

It wouldn't be too hard if Chang'e didn't catch him, and he still believed she couldn't actually hurt him.

He didn't know any legends of her, but he guessed from her name she was from Chinese mythology.

Who knew that all these other things existed besides the Greeks?

"So how'd you get chosen? I was sold by my parents when I was 3!" The boy said after a short moment of silence.

"Hush it up over there kids, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow, those mines don't mine themselves."

Looking behind him, Argen saw tons of slaves like him leaning against a dirty wall, all of them looking defeated.

"Workers? Are you all stupid? This is clear slavery," Argen was usually able to handle his emotions, half the time he was perfectly stable, but this time was different.

Argen saw a bit of himself inside these people, and something else inside of him grew.

("Finally…")

Argen's eyes glowed silver for only a second before a hand was placed on his shoulder. "Don't, They'll kill you."

It was the boy that had talked to him before, their own eyes glowing blue, a tight grip around their shoulder.

"What are you?" Argen asked before passing out, the fatigue from not sleeping for weeks finally catching up to him.

"Something," The boy answered before going to sleep as well, prepared for the work tomorrow.

…

Three days of labor and massages later Argen was sick of it. He was wasting time here. Thankfully him being here had given him some insight in things.

The goddess he needed to prank for The Monkey King to give up the secrets to becoming a god.

The wife of the Bull king, a monster who rivaled The Monkey King in nearly every legend, that was who Argen needed to prank.

He also got closer with the boy with the blue glowing eyes. His name being Chain, signifying his slavery since young childhood.

They had spent basically every second together since Argen had first set foot on the cell.

"Tonight, We leave tonight," Argen said, knowing Chain knew what he was talking about. They had talked about it for the last 12 hours, and Chain seemed rather excited to finally be free.

"Is it true free people get to shower every day? And what about food? You guys eat all the time?" Chain had asked enthusiastically later that day.

He had been against leaving at first, not knowing anything else, but this was all it took for Argen to convince him.

Argen didn't know why he had even told Chain about leaving, nor did he know why he was talking to him in the first place.

But what he did know, at least subconsciously, was that he was lonely. He missed having friends to hang out with him, being used to being surrounded by people for a year and suddenly leaving had changed him.

He missed having people to talk to, people that he could mess around with, listen to, anything they wanted.

And so he decided to take Chain in as his own. Chain was only one year older than him, but Argen still decided to treat him as his younger brother, he had even promised on the River Styx to bring him wherever he goes for as long as they live.

"Yep, when we get out of here we can do whatever we want… What do you want to do first?"

Argen saw something was different about Chain, no scratch that, something was the same about him. He felt familiar, and that was also the main reason he wanted him around.

"Hmm… I want to try Green Beans."

It was something simple, something that would seem more of a punishment to the normal children of today, but to Chain Green Beans seemed like a delicacy only rich people could try.

"Okay we can eat those… Show me that thing again, We have to be one hundred percent ready for tonight."

Chain widened his eyes before looking over both shoulders. Then, with his eyes glowing, he burned a hole in one of the rocks in front of him.

"Haha, Nice…" Argen said with a smile, only thinking of how that would help him. It was a powerful ability, one that Argen could copy with his own energy if he wanted, but not that powerful.

("Kill him")

Argen blinked and looked around, confused as he could have sworn he heard a voice.

("Kill Him!")

This time it was more noticeable, like an echo throughout the cave. "Who said that…"

"Argen?" Chain asked as he saw his friend acting weird all of a sudden.

("Kill him")

("Kill him")

("Kill HIM")

"It's nothing, you know the plan?" Argen said ignoring the voice, and soon it went away. Chain, dismissing Argen's odd behavior smiled widely and nodded, trying his best to hold in his happiness.

"Tonight when I get back to the cell then…" And with that Argen went to give the last massage he'd ever give to his captor.

…

"So you're planning on leaving tonight?" Chang'e asked halfway through her usual afternoon massage, causing Argen to freeze with his hands on her lower back.

"Huh?" He asked trying to sound confused, but it was too late, she clearly knew everything she needed to.

("Take a bite, eat, eat, eat!")

The voice was louder as he backed away from the goddess, making his mind go numb as his body went into shock.

"I'm not sure why you would want to Lea-"

Chang'e stopped talking as a loud crunch halted her words.

"H-Huh?" She stuttered out looking behind her and seeing something she had never expected.

It was just like the time Argen had fallen asleep fighting against Zeus and the others in the small prison.

Chang'e wasn't looking at Argen anymore, at least not one that could be talked to normally.

Standing with silver and red aura enveloping him, eating the flesh of the shoulder he had tore out with his mouth Argen stood there, his eyes glowing bright silver.

"Kill."

(In Another place)

Beezlebub was sat on his throne sighing as he knew things would start to change.

"As the prophecy predicted, I guess there's really no changing it now…"
