Time To Live

South Heaven, deep inside the Eternal Fire,

Planet Lifeflame, Barta city Brothel.

due to the vast amount of crowd surrounding it's entrance, nobody took particular notice of him as Rakshasa went out of the Brothel with a slight smile on his face.

even though he had already understood that his cultivation path will be extremely hard to walk on, he didn't put too much pressure on himself.

and for now, he had other things to do too...

what other things?

mainly, he had to kill that old man, who, using poison, had killed him before,

not for some revenge, but to ensure that the fact he died once remained a secret, otherwise things could get troublesome

and he also had to check out his 3 innate abilities,

in his knowledge, demon society in its base was split into four kinds of demons

at the lowest rung were people like his body's previous host, Hiranya, who didn't have any innate abilities to use from birth

these people weren't uncommon, rather, they were the most numerous among demon population, people who aren't able to use their innate abilities.

and then, there were people who could use only one of the Demon ability, these people were considered above the previously mentioned demons in all categories, from job hunts to, even rights,

and then, there were people like the current him, people who can use all three demon abilities but aren't able to cultivate even to the first rank,

these people don't have any special rights that the previos guys didn't have, but they are considered as the best servants by strong demons, but their total population was very low,

much lower than every other category

there will barely be 1 out of 100000 demons of this type.

these people, NO, demons mainly include demons with crippled cultivation.

and then finally, the Demons with most rights and greatest living conditions, they are even allowed to have slaves among other category of demons,

they are demons capable of cultivation, these demons don't have any problems with their innate abilities nor do they have any problems in cultivating, they are the ruling force of demons

and among them, the stronger you are, the more important you will be.

and as a person previously from the lowest rung of society, Hiranya's killer, Old Man Rody, can only be someone from the same class

why would a stronger person care to scheme against him? they would just straightforwardly kill him through Law loopholes.

But just in case something went wrong, he planned to first use one of his abilities,

Soul Devouring, to increase his strength

even though he can't cultivate, he can use this ability to grow infinitely stronger, of course, that was just a fantasy, Why?

he could only eat 10 or so souls a day, and if he had to do only that to grow stronger, he will atleast have to eat souls for a decade without break and even then, he will only be as strong as someone in rank 1, as for reaching rank 2 level strength with this ability alone, he will need to eat 10 rank 1 level souls daily without a break for similarly long period,

this amount of strength that he achieved through decades can be achieved in merely months or even days if you had a cultivation method

but the first time you eat souls was supposed to give you a major breakthrough in strength at mortal level, so he wanted to get the best of it before going to have his 'revenge'

he was, a, Cautious Posseser after all.
