Ethan Blackwood was an ordinary young businessman. At least he was until, during a trip, he found himself involved in an event that defied all logic he knew. Unwillingly and unexpectedly, he becomes entangled with supernatural beings, and to make matters worse, he has to deal with a demon inside his body! Now, he must become stronger if he wants to survive the challenges ahead. Will Ethan, with his new abilities, be able to survive the new challenges involving gods and demons?
The echo of the crowd still resonated in the arena as Ethan approached Thaiel, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. Thaiel, drenched in sweat and still recovering from the exhaustion of the fight, felt a mix of pride and frustration when he saw Ethan. Although he was his leader, Thaiel couldn't help but see him as a rival as well.
"Good job out there, Thaiel," Ethan said, patting his companion on the shoulder. "That new ability, the 'Lightning Cloak,' is impressive. You've come a long way."
Thaiel tensed slightly at Ethan's words. Though the compliments were well-intentioned, Thaiel couldn't help but feel there was something condescending in them. After all, he had always seen Ethan as the goal to surpass, and receiving a compliment from him made him feel like he was being mocked.
"Thanks," Thaiel replied, trying to maintain his composure. "But I still have a lot to improve."
