Magic

"Ah!"

That may not have been the ideal start to my day, but it was the only sound I could muster when I woke up to intense blonde eyes staring back at me.

"You scared me, Gyari. What are you doing?" I asked my blonde hair companion after the distinct wake-up.

"Waking you up?" Gyari said with a cheeky smile which I found both infuriating and adorable so to rebel, I once again fell back to my bed.

"Nyx?" Gyari called out to me but I paid no heed to her as I once again enjoyed the softness of my pillows. I felt Gyari move as she placed a hand on top of my head, gently stroking it.

"Well, if you act so vulnerable..." Gyari brought her head close to my ear. "...I will eat you up." A warm breath and whisper reached my ear making me shiver a little.

Gyari was being lewd again, was my first thought. Second? Two can play that game.

Gyari was surprised as I grasped her by her elbows. Such an unusual situation when I was the one initiating physical contact, even more, when she was suddenly shoved back into the bed, I previously occupied. The landing itself was cushioned by the bed, but the gesture was truly brazen. She was tense, confused, shocked, and then-

"Gyari, oh dear colleague of mine." I hummed quietly, almost smoother than anything she could have expected out of me. "If you act so loving, my heart couldn't help but drum loud and mighty before your kind words."

My right palm set by her left cheek, cupping it as my thumb slowly trailed from the furthest to the closest point to her lips. At first tenderly and chaste and then Gyari's eyes widened as she felt something soft, something cold touch her cheeks.

I had given her a soft kiss on her cheeks as I caressed her cheeks sending a jolt down her spine as she looked so...submissive. It was a rare sight as I knew how proud of her dominance Gyari normally was. And yet here she was, behaving like a shy anime girl that had just gotten flirted right by her crush.

"But alas, I could not partake in your offer. I told you, I would belong to you if you surpass me, but the time hasn't come yet. But I wish to genuinely thank you for thinking so highly of me."

Gyari was shivering, her smile twitching making me hard to contain my laughter. So, I burst out laughing, spoiling the slightly pink atmosphere that seemed to have enveloped the room.

"Haha. That's enough for now, Gyari. I am awake now, let's go to breakfast now." I say finishing our daily banter. Since, becoming a demon, my urge to tease others has also increased. So, Gyari and I usually banter and tease each other for fun.

I got off my bed and walked to the bathroom not noticing the glazed expression of Gyari and the fire I had lit beneath her.

...

Precision. That was my [Bloodline Magic]. Granting absolute precision on any endeavor. It was a potent ability, but it also remained an enigma.

In Nyx's Memory, this ability never manifested yet the moment I possessed this body, I instinctively knew about it. So, it does raise some questions. Was this ability manifested by Nyx herself, or did it originate from me, the outsider?

But then again, this magic was the reason I could have a certain degree of confidence to complete my goal.

So why was I bringing this up now, one may ask?

Because my ability might be subconsciously acting on this body. Making everything precise. I looked in the mirror. What was reflected was a set of perfectly white dentures, each perfectly aligned. Both upper and lower teeth, aligned perfectly inside my mouth.

The reflection showed a girl with skin so smooth that one may not be surprised if it was a perfectly crafted doll. Each feature seemed to just align in such a precise way that it accentuated the beauty even more. The long black hair was also smooth with no curls. Everything was so...precise.

I unfolded my wings, which were pretty standard when I possessed this body, but now they looked a bit more defined. The lines on the wings appeared straighter, the edges sharper, and the color a shade darker. My wings had changed.

I knew for a fact that some abilities were always passively active. For example, Elizabetta's bloodline magic, [Full Love Gauge], worked by making those who smelled her scent more predisposed to her. It meant that her alluring scent could never be shut off, though she could control the intensity of her control.

Perhaps it was the same for me. When I purposely wielded Precision, the accuracy of my actions became impeccable. Not only could it help me mimic other people's voices, but also their body language. That meant that my bloodline ability already affected my voice box and my brain to mimic others.

So, it may already be affecting my biology to a certain extent, like regulating my blood or stabilizing my heartbeat.

It was frightening to know that the bloodline ability itself was affecting my biology, making it precise without my knowledge. I would not have noticed if not for a random comment by Gyari about my tooth.

If the one who transmigrated gave me this as a boon, then what was the price?

Would it be free? I was in doubt since they even threatened me with eradication.

*Sigh*

For now, let's just be me and see where it leads to. It was the mandate I lived by in my previous life and concurrently the current one as well.

Well...I will manage or collapse crying as a wreckage of a human being(demon) before offing myself. Just kidding.

"hehe," My humor was as dark as usual.

I mean who doesn't like dark humor? Even my blind grandma sees it's funny.

"Nyx! Hurry up." called a voice from outside.

I tore my gaze away from the mirror and stopped my periodic depressed episode. Also, I better stop blind jokes...I just don't see the point.
