C-2: Defying Death

Right after Maou fell to the ground, he died, and found himself in an infinite abyssal darkness. He tried to look around, but he couldn't even tell if he was looking around because everything was the same void black. However, in a split second, a violet screen with a black outline and golden words appeared in front of him.

------------------------------

Maou looked at the holographic screen in front of him with wonder, curiosity, and greed, before willing it to show more races. There were almost an infinite amount of others, so he folded that and proceeded to look at the others. From what he heard, the little girl, or rather the woman from before was a demon, a demoness to be exact, so he wondered if he should pick that, but he put it on hold as he looked through the other selections. The God one made him huff an internal laugh, but other than that, the others bored him, and some he didn't even know, so he picked Demon. After that, another purple screen with golden words and a spinning red skinned humanoid appeared in front of him.

------------------------------

He 'smirked' and immediately picked Primordial, before adjusting the body, and inputting the name. He put his own name, Maou Black, then 'smiled', before willing it to accept. Almost right after that, the body he created manifested around him in the abyssal darkness, and he moved it around to get used to it. The body he created was a man with long void black hair and crimson eyes, with a height of 7 feet 3 inches and a very defined body packed with cable-like muscles. A beautiful pearlescent white was the shade of his skin, and he had a um... a very thick 18 inch meat stick...

After a few seconds of adapting and inspecting his new body, he 'smirked' once again. Another screen appeared right then, with the same purple color and golden words, however this time, it showed his something that made greed arise from his very soul. It was a window showing all sorts of skills, elements, traits, and abilities that he could buy with points. Hell, there were even packages for some skills and elements. It made him laugh hysterically in the infinite darkness for a while, but he eventually turned back to the screen and went to work. He currently had 3000 Points of whatever, so he decided to buy everything he could for now.

Soon enough, his 'cart' had everything he could buy, and he scanned over them one more time with an evil smile.

[Confirm Purchase?]

Yes |--or--| No

------------------------------

He pressed confirm with a strong and slender finger, and then smirked as a buttload of information poured into his head. After all of the information was finally integrated into his head, a small prompt appeared in front of him, but with bluish-green colors.

------------------------------

[Please Select A Destination To Transfer To.]

~~~~~~~~~~

(Earth): _____ |--or--| Random Surface Land

------------------------------

A slight nod was given from Maou, before he input (Tokyo, Japan), and pressed confirm. The next moment, the darkness disappeared, and he found a dumpster full of trash in front of him. He looked up and found the moon, however despite it being night, everything was clear as day. His revelation caused a small smirk to appear on his face, and it only widened when he looked down and saw his divine, or rather, demonic flaccid dragon. However his smirk disappeared once he came to realize he was naked in the middle of an alleyway, but, then again, it was night, so the chance of onlookers was slim to none.

Anyway, he looked around and saw a couple of sleeping homeless persons huddled together in order to stave off the cold. He walked over to them with completely silent footsteps, before using a simple Spatial Spell called Aport to take off all of the man's clothes. The ragged and rather small clothes appeared in his hand neatly folded, but then and there, the man woke up. The cold seemed null to him as he laid eyes upon Maou. His cries for help and desperate calls were lodged in his throat.

"Say not a word. I will be taking these, in exchange, I will come back later and give you an offer, if you're still alive that is." Maou spoke will not an emotion audible, but the homeless man knew not to speak, in fact he couldn't at the moment, so he simply nodded, inciting the Primordial Demon to disappear from sight. Maou used another Spatial Spell called Blink to disappear and reappear on a nearby rooftop, it was a handy spell similar to Teleportation, but with a way shorter range and nearly instant spell casting time.

But with that said and done, Maou used yet another spell from the unique category called Clothe, once again a simple spell with a name that says it all. Afterwards, he whispered, "Status," indicating a response from his system that showed his status along with an option to go to the Store tab, as well as a new and apparent Quest tab.

His lips curled up slightly, before dropping as he tapped on the Quest tab. Three quests were available, one of them inciting an eyebrow raise, another a cracked smile, and the last a click of the tongue.

==============================

He stood the in the dead of night on top of a roof wearing ragged clothes that adjusted to just large size, and wearing a wicked smirk. Raising his palm out to the sky the next second, he took a glance through the Akashic Records, then spoke with a ghastly echoed voice. "Call of Souls." After which, a dim grey magic circle appeared out of his palm and enlarged to a the size of a flat beach ball. The next second, bluish-white lights spung out into his vision and gathered at his palm from all around. From what he now knew, these were wandering and leaving souls, all of which which were now gathering at his palm in a 500 meter range. He 'felt' his soul absorbing and getting stronger from each one he took in, and the feeling of having his soul condense the others and integrate them into itself was truly addicting.

Maou continued to absorb wandering and leaving souls like this for another 10 minutes, before he closed his palm and grinned, then under his breath, he whispered, "...Delicious." To him the souls were truly delectable, enough to make him want an infinite amount, however he had things to do. A world to dominate, a Royal Demoness to dominate, and a God to kill, but honestly those would take some time, so in the mean time, he'll 'gather' some funds, get himself a place to stay, and get some god damned clothes to wear.
