{ CHAPTER - 9 } AN ALLIANCE WITH A DEMON

It's a beautiful day that is just the right temperature for having fun outdoors or doing anything else.

Instead, he is only sitting in his room looking at the ceiling and contemplating the deal that an actual demon from hell—who for some reason is now inside of him—offered to him.

Karma sighed as he talked to himself while lying on the bed and gazing up at the ceiling. "Oh, how I miss the days when everyone thought I was a regular person."

It has been some time since the chief left, and Karma has since met "Agastha." According to Agastha, since he chose Karma and, for some reason, decided to stay inside of him, Agastha can't leave his body until the day Karma dies. If he stays inside of him, other demons and sins will also come after him, of course, to kill him.

Karma must either become his conjurer and die, or he must not become his conjurer and die.

Karma got out of bed and said, "Ok, then it's decided," while clenching his fists.

His mother called him down while he was chatting to himself and said, "Karma!, come here for a bit!"

"Coming!" replied Karma.

He went downstairs, and there stood his mum, all dressed up, at the door.

Karma walked downstairs and inquired of his mother at the door, "What happened, mom?"

"I'm going out for a little while. I cooked your lunch. It's on the table, okay," his mother remarked as she put on her heels.

Karma asked her mother where she was going to see if she was dressed.

"Today is my friend's birthday celebration, so I could be a bit late."

"Oh, yes, mom. I'll also be leaving soon with my buddies; we've agreed to go for a stroll. "

"I see. Alright then, make sure you don't stay out too late, ok?" her mother replied as she walked away.

"You as well, Mom."

Karma lied about going out with a buddy, but technically, he was going out with someone, so it's not all lies. "Now then, shall we begin?"

!Grumble! 

While he felt he was ready to go, the sound of his empty stomach urged, "Let's eat first."

Since U.K. Karma resides in a state in northern India, it is surrounded by mountain ranges and receives funding each year based on how extensive the state's forest lands are nationwide.

Karma hired a cab and traveled a little outside of his town to a remote area of the highlands.

Then, calling for him, he entered a section of the woodland that would be separate from the others.

In a chilly voice, he said, "Agastha, come out."

Birds began chirping loudly and flying loudly all over the sky as the environment suddenly became black. The airflow shifted, and it started to become a bit chilly inside.

The devil inquired at that very moment when it materialized behind him. (Did you call for me?)

A 6-foot-tall man with red-glowing eyes in place of his face and a menacing red-glowing smile instead of his mouth is seen emerging from the black fog. For a while, Karma did nothing except standing there and look at him.

Karma inquired after pulling himself out of his daze.

"If I don't accept your offer, would you leave me alone?"

"Unfortunately, we are unable to do so; we will remain in this position until the day you die."

Karma sighed and said, "Thought so."

"Then I'll take that deal you're offering. I should at least put up whatever fight I can if I am going to die anyway."

Agastha said with a smile that glowed red like a bloody mouth (a wise choice).

So, how exactly do I become your conjurer? "What should I do? " Karma asked, scratching his chin.

(You don't have to do anything; we're already one; all you have to do now is accept me.)

Hearing this perplexed Karma, who inquired, "How?"

(Just feel that we are one; for starters, sit down and try to meditate for a few minutes.)

He sat down on that rough surface without much complaint and began meditating, just as Agatha had instructed.

After 20 minutes, nothing happened, so he asked Agatha for clarification. Is there something I'm missing? "Nothing has changed in my opinion."

(Simply meditating will not get you anywhere. A human usually meditates to calm his mind, but you already have a pretty calm mind, so don't calm yourself, but find yourself and me inside of you.)

Karma questioned his statements, but he had no option but to do as he was commanded to "Find the both of us inside of me, huh."

He took another deep breath and resumed his meditation, but this time he understood what he was doing wrong and what he needed to do.

Karma continued to meditate and sat in the shade of the tree for another hour.

With each breath that Karma took, the environment started to suddenly alter, and even Agastha could feel it.

The same thing happened when Agatha first appeared minutes ago—everything was fine until it suddenly turned cloudy.

(Look at this kid)," Agatha thought to himself, astonished.

After another hour, Karma finally opened his eyes and remarked, "I found myself."

Agastha stated this after seeing their serene gaze.

(I knew I didn't make a mistake when I chose you.)

Karma placed his palm up to his face, puzzled, and asked, "Are you sure this was it? I still don't feel any changes. "

"Of course, this is it; what else did you expect to happen?"

"So, am I super powerful now or something?" Karma asked, waving his hand.

(No, you're not abnormal.)

Karma made a foolish expression and turned to Agastha, saying, "Huh, did I just get ripped off?"

Karma was perplexed when he heard the term "normal" from Agastha. "Hold on, wait a minute, I remember you saying breaking past human limitations or something, what about that?" he asked Agastha.

(Of course, I said I'd allow you to overcome your human limits, but I never said becoming my conjurer would suddenly make you super powerful.)

Karma was questioning everything at this point, wondering whether the monster had scammed him.

"Is there perhaps a method to get stronger?" he wondered.

(Yes...)

Karma was relieved to know that he wasn't completely scammed. "So, what's the way then?"

(It's by training.)

"What do you mean training, like lifting weights or something?" "With a dumbfounded expression on his face," Karma said.

(Yes..)

At this point, Karma was certain of one thing: the cunning demon got him.

"Are you kidding me? Did I waste my time with you? How will lifting weights help me when I'm being attacked by demons?" Karma stated, pointing out the obvious.

Agastha corrected himself with, "No matter how hard human trains himself, he will eventually reach his limit, which is when he can no longer grow any stronger, and as I previously stated, becoming a conjurer breaks that limit, so a human can train indefinitely and even use unknown"

Things were becoming clearer to Karma, and he was beginning to understand his foundations more clearly. "What exactly do you mean by a human using the unknown?"

(This means that a human can now use the power that he couldn't before.)

Karma didn't understand that part and inquired, "Can you enlighten me on that?"

(Assume a human obtains a weapon of divinity or some item that does not belong in the human world; as a result, they cannot use that item as a human; they must find a special way to use it, one of which is by becoming a conjurer for a demon.)
