I saw my health jump significantly it was almost to the point of being equal to my magic power. It also split my points into several karmic categories. But if I read it correctly it told me that it was the Holy Demon system.
‘I thought I was getting a demon lord system What changed I asked it.’
Due to the quest not being made by the gods of this realm they have interfered with your system and made it, so you can be a hero or demon or a mix of both. But you will still be considered the main demon lord their will be another one chosen shortly to hide you. Once this one is defeated by the Hero the true quest will be hidden so on one will see it again until the next quest period.
‘What do you mean next Quest period?’ I asked it.
Do to the nature of the quest it reappears every 100 years after the completion of the last subjugation quest.
I now understood what was happening a god form another world probably made the quest and posted it himself. Then when the gods of this world realized that since they couldn’t get rid of the quest or change anything in it they decided to override it with a hidden quest that will hide the true quest when completed.
‘Can I see my new skills?’ I asked it.
Hero of ???:
???
???
Demon lord of the Apocalypse:
Corruption (lvl 1/100)
Demonification (lvl 1/100)
Devil Promotion (lvl 1/100)
‘Really Apocalypse?!’ I shouted at it in my head.
“Hay not my idea!” A feminine voice appeared in my head shouting.
‘Wait you can talk?!’ I said surprised.
“Oh, guess I can.” She replied.
‘Thanks for the info but I have to get up so its not too suspicious why I’m looking blankly at the sky.’ I told her.
‘Ok good luck Eclipse.’ She replied back.
I sat up and saw Talia also sitting up assumingly after checking her new system.
“Hay Eclipse! What hero are you?” She asked.
“I don’t know all it has is question marks for everything.” I replied.
“Oh well I’m the Hero of Peace.” She said happily.
“Can I see your stats?” I asked.
“Yah as long as im able to see yours.” She said happily
“I nodded while modifying my stats to hide anything I didn’t want her to see.” Then I used gods eyes withc absorbed Observe to look at her stats and skills.

“Wow you have some good skills but your curse is kind of problematic.” I said with my hand on my chin.
“Wait you can see my curse?” She asked surprised.
“Of course, its because I’m also cursed.” I replied. “But how did you become cursed?” I asked her.
“Well when I found Demetiry in that ally when I stepped on one of the dead guys and I heard this crack like something broke under my foot. I think that’s when I was cursed.” She replied.
“That’s understandable.” I said thinking it was probably the basterd that hit me with a knife.
“But forget about me how did you get cursed?” She asked me.
“Well while I was still in the other world I was known as the curse collector. But in truth I should have been called the curse destroyer. Because I would brake the object or melt it down, so the curse would be destroyed.” I replied looking up to see Talia’s surprised face.
“You were the infamous Curse collector!” She nearly shouted.
“Yah I thought I told you this?” I replied.
“Not that I remember.” She replied shaking her head.
“Oh, sorry I thought I told you. But I got to ask will it be a problem?” I questioned fearing the answer.
“Hmm, not that I can think of.” She replied.
“Ok good now lets head to the closest village.” I replied leading the way because obviously she couldn’t.
“Wait for me!” I hear behind me.
“You know you can teleport to me, right?” I shouted back
“Oh right!” the little voice said then teleported to my shoulder. “There.” Scythe sighed sitting down her purple form slightly ruffled.
“Uh why are we heading back to the field dungeon.” Asked Talia.
“Well the village is on the other side of the field dungeon.” I replied.
“What!” She nearly shouted.
“Yah you headed in the opposite direction I mean it can’t be helped with your curse and all.” I said as we hit the edge of the trees. Then I heard barking to my left I looked over to see a shadow wolf trying to get at a hive in the trees.
I used gods’ eyes on the hive.
Hellfire Wasp nest (Infected): Wasps that have powerful paralyzing venom in their stingers. If a normal human is stung by them they will die within 24 hours of the sting.
Current enemy’s:
Shadow wolf
False Queen
Taming requirement: Kill the shadow wolf and the false queen setting free the true queen.
I smiled at the new develop meant and drew Excalibur and threw it right into the wolfs eye hitting an instant kill spot.
“Eclipse what are you doing!” Talia cried.
“Well I think I found a way to get a new job.” I replied moving forward.
The wasps apparently figured out that the Shadow wolf was now dead they started coming out of their nest. Then one fat one came up to me.
“You human were you the one to help my nest?” It asked.
“So you’re the queen?” I asked it.
“That I am now bow to me.” It replied proudly.
I then used Gods eyes on it.

“Well aren’t you going to kneel human!?” She shouted in my face.
“Sorry but I don’t kneel.” I said as I drew Rubilacxe and sliced her in two.
The wasps were about to attack when a blue portal opened and a slender wasp with a black exoskeleton with red markings covering her came out. She looked up to see her colony charging.
“Stop!” Said a gentle but powerful voice.
All the black wasps stopped in their tracks. So I used Gods Eyes in the wasp that came from the portal.

I smiled. “Welcome back your highness.” I said while bowing and sheathing Rubilacxe.
“Thank you. You may rise and please don’t call me highness I would prefer it if you called me mam or Salem” She said.
“Ok Salem I just happened to notice your hive was under attack, so I helped out that’s when the other bee came and was severely rude to me but thanks to a skill I have I was able to see through her and killed her on the spot.” I relied when I stood back up.
“And I thank you for that. Because without you I would still be stuck in that dimension and my hive would have likely died. You have my eternal gratitude.” She somehow bowed in midair. “How may we repay you?” She then asked.
“No repayment necessary I’m simply a new Insectomancer helping out potential allies.” I replied.
“Oh, so you use insects as weapons, but you still see them as allies? Most humans consider us as pests or tools not as equals.” She replied.
“Well I’m not human so please don’t lump me in with that species.” I said.
“I see well can we join you?” She asked.
“I don’t know. Can you manage to get along with other insects?” I asked.
“We can how many you got?” She asked.
“Well I have one other hive she is an Iron shell bullet ant queen and her nest.” I said.
“Wait did you retrieve them from the Ancient hill in this forest?” She asked surprised.
“Why yes after helping them with their little problem the queen gave me her eldest daughter, so she could make a nest in my pocket dimension.” I replied.
“Well me and the queen were great friends, so I think I and her daughter will get along swell.” She said happily.
“Wait you want to go into the Pocket dimension?”
“Yes, so as to repay your kindness we will help you on your quest.” She said happily.
“Well ok then. But how are your going to move your nest?” I asked.
“Oh, that’s simple walk up to my nest and pluck it like a fruit then take it into your pocket dimension and hold the part you plucked up to a tree then well take care of the rest.” She said happily.
“Ok.” I replied as I walked up to the nest. I reached up and grabbed its base and twisted then pulled the nest from the tree with a resounding snap as the little bit of cement connecting to the tree snapped. I then reached down and removed Excalibur from the Shadow wolf. “Let’s go.” I said then opened my pocket dimension.
I walked in and made sure to dodge the Bullet ant hill and went right for the tree in the middle of the field. I then held the nest up to the tree and watched as several of the Wasps gathered at the base after a few second the moved and they’re was a new string attached to the tree and then I slowly let go of the nest. I was surprised that the small tether would hold the nest and its occupants who were currently weighing my head down while complementing my hair and its color while they fiddled with it.
“Oh, you’ve returned so soon and with more guest?” Asked Yuki.
“Oh, hello Yuki how’s the colony coming?” I asked.
“Oh, it’s going great and we’ve even found things we can eat here. But I would like t know about our new guest.” She said happily then inquired about the Hellfire Wasps.
“Well that’s good.” I said remembering that I was afraid I would have to constantly gather food for them. “And about your new guests they are Hellfire Wasps that lived at the edge of the forest their queen said she was good friends with your mother.” I replied.
“Oh, you mean Salem the strongest wasp queen!” She nearly shouted.
“Yes.” I said happily.
“Yaye I get to have a close friend and another queen to help me.” She cheered.
“What’s going on here?” Asked a soft voice near my ear.
“Ah!! Oh, it’s just you.” I said taking a deep breath. “Sorry Salem I was just talking to Yuki about you and it seems she is overjoyed to have you here.” I Said gesturing to Yuki.
“Yuki?” She looked down at little Yuki. “It is you!” the queen squealed then rushed down and hugged Yuki. “Oh, I thought I would never see you again.” She cried.
“And I you queen Salem. When that sword impaled itself into our mound two years ago I thought we would die before Eclipse showed up. We had just run out of our food supply when she showed up removing the sword and giving us food.” She cried into Salem’s shoulder.
“Wait you both got trapped 2 years ago?” I questioned.
“So, it seems. Why?” Questioned Salem.
“Because that means it was a Blatant attempt to either kill you or make you into their servants though false acts.” I pointed out.
Both the queen’s eyes popped open in realization.
“Your saying that.” Yuki started.
“Bothe our scenarios were not random but blatant attempts to sabotage us then capture us.” Finished Salem.
“Yes, that is what I believe I just happened to come upon you and stop the sabotage before they arrived.” I replied.
I looked at both queens and saw them pissed at realizing that their suffering was all planed out.
“If you would. Would you mind a little quest?” Salem asked me.
“If it is what I think it is then you already know the answer to your question.” I said with an evil smile.
“Then in the name of the queen Salem and new queen Yuki I hear by grant a request to hunt down this Saboteur and Kill them in the most painful way.” Salem said empathizing several words.
A new quest has been given.

Failure: death or loss of favor of the queens.
“Hay Salem I know this is a long shot but are you able to track enemy’s by injecting them with venom” I asked.
“Yes why?” She asked.
“Well I was thinking if they are coming around here to retrieve you then if you leave one wasp to attack them it will mark them as an enemy and it would be easy to find.” I replied.
“Good idea and once the wasp stings them then they will return to us or die upon escape. But that would also mean one of us has to stay with you to tell you who is marked.” Replied Salem.
“I know but I have a solution for that. Since your wasps liked my hair so much one of them can hide within the black parts of my hair and tell me when they see the marked target.” I replied.
“Brilliant! Teresa, Aboron come here!” Shouted the queen.
“Yes, your highness.” Tow voices said while appearing before the queen.
“I want Teresa to stay with Eclipse in her hair to tell her targets. While Aboron stays behind at the original nest location and waits for anyone to approach when they approach quickly sting them and come back to us. But if he doesn’t appear after a year then come back because we would have been dead by then.” Said the queen.
“I Understand my queen!” Shouted Teresa.
“Yes, my queen.” Replied Aboron.
Teresa quickly flew up to my head and her black body diapered within my hair. Then Aboron flew out to the forest to wait for the person that might arrive.
“Ok well I have to get back I’ll be bringing more insects and maybe a few beasts in over time I’ll make sure they don’t mess with you as long as you don’t mess with them.” I said while heading to the portal out.
“Ok by.” Both queens said then went back to their homes.
After walking out I closed the portal and walked back to Talia. “Ok sorry about the weight but I needed to settle some things.” I told Talia.
“Well ok I’m guessing your going to be an Insectomancer.” She asked.
“Yes, that will be my main job the Insectomancer hero. While my sub jobs will be decided later.” I replied. “Now let’s go to the town.”
“Yah but it will be weeks of fighting and travel to cross this Field dungeon.” Scythe said gesturing to the open fields now crawling with skeletons and zombies.
“Oh the lightning will take care of that.” I replied.
“What lightning its sunny with no chance of-” Talia started.
“My thunder rain down upon my enemy’s bringing chaos and harmony to the land. (Holy lightning storm)” I chanted.
The sky then lit up as thousands of bolts rained down upon the Field dungeon and wiped out several thousand zombies and skeletons. Talia was standing there in shock with her mouth open while Scythe was laughing on the ground gasping about Talia’s face. I then pulled up my Mp.
Mp 599/600>
I nearly laughed at how my status displayed the cost of mana even though the spell costed millions of Mp it only showed it as costing one for me. I wanted to laugh but refrained as I turned to Talia.
“Ok let’s get a move on we don’t have all day.” I said like it was nothing special.
“Um ok but I need to warn you. People don’t think girls should have magic, so they crucify them as witches and execute them on sight so please when we get into town don’t use any magic.” Talia pleaded.
“So light magic is fine but any other magic is like saying I’m a witch?” I asked her.
“Yah even light magic will get you crucified as a witch.” Talia said sadly.
“Gees these people really need to stop making woman look bad.” I growled.
“I know but that is how the world works. If your female your expected to work at home and make babies or you are a close-range fighter with no magic.” She replied.
“Then how did you become a paladin?” I asked.
“Well paladins are practitioners of buffer magic and healing which is allowed for women to learn in fact only women can learn it.” She replied.
“I see but you also learned light magic to make the noble paladin like you would see in games.” I said as we walked.
“Precisely but everyone thinks I just use scrolls and skills when I use them.” She replied.
“Understood I won’t be using any magic in public only in dungeons.” I replied.
“Good then let’s hurry I don’t want you to have wasted all the Mp for nothing.” She said the sprinted.
I laughed at her as I sprinted after her catching up knowing she wasn’t going full speed because her species was known to be faster than the blink of an eye.
