Ch.3

"Verum faciem anima mea manifesta fierent!" "Verum faciem anima mea manifesta fierent!"

I keep repeating the words, and slowly, I could feel changes from my body. Something was coming out of my back, I screamed because of the pain in doing the transformation, as Codex told me earlier the first transformation will be very painful but after that I can transform back to my human and demon form without any problems.

As I screamed on top of my lungs, meanwhile the succubus stared at me intently as my body changes, I can feel how my wings slowly appeared on my back the pain was not funny at all, it feels like someone is forcefully sticking something in my back with a nail gun not only that every second feels like thousands of ants is eating my brain.

10 hrs later my transformation finally ended. I gasped for air and asked some water, the succubus gave me some water from the lake.

"You look like some ancient demon in your form, Mr. Sol."

I slowly walked near the lake, there I could see my new appearance, My hair color is black and white, half white, half black, Also my wings, I have six wings, four wings on my back and two wings near my hips.

My wings are also color black and white, the three wings from the right side is black on the left is white. though the white part doesn't look like angel wings even though it has feathers, It's more close to a dragon like wings. I also have a tail now.

My tail has three halo's swirling around it. My body became solidly built not too big not too small. I'm around 1.8 meter tall now also. What weirded me out is I have curved horns and a halo....

Wtf? I thought I'm a demon? Why do I have both?

While I was inspecting myself closely, My senses are heightened to unimaginable degree, the once dark forest is now clear to me, the forest is actually a forest of dead trees, Also the sky is now not red rather it is now similar to Earth.

I checked on Codex, what surprised me is that book also changed. The covers became wings. black and white wings swirling around it are bright halo's

"Wow."

I heard the succubus words, and looked at her. She's blushing for some reason.

"Ahhh....Ms?"

"Oh... no...no...no...call me Charlotte, or you can just call me Charl."

"Alright then.....Charl."

"I want to ask some questions, can I?"

"Sure! go ahead!"

"Where am I? specifically which part of hell am I? Though I can ask Codex about this but its much better to ask you since you are a denizen of this place."

I looked at Charl in the eyes and she ended up going fidgety.

"You are in the outskirts of Pentagram City and this place is known as the Dead Forest."

"I can guess why...."

"Also this place is located on the 3rd circle of hell."

"One of the places we can consider safe, but not that safe since there are still demons like that bear that wants to fuck things up."

"Also did you kill that bear?"

"I guess so....."

"As expected of a wizard! Demons like us never die actually we just resurrect somewhere and continue to live in this eternal torment."

"Demons can only be killed by Angelic weapons, High Ranking Demons and spells of a powerful Wizard."

"I....see....Hey! Codex is it true?"

"She's right master."

"Why are you calling me master now? you just called me human and mortal earlier?"

"Because your human form lack dignity and appearance unlike your form now!"

"What the fuck?"

"Ah...Ms.Charl since I am new here and I don't want to rely on Codex too much since he will just flaunt how majestic I am(which is not true), I would like to ask for your help and guidance to this place."

"No.....no...no....don't bow down to me great wizard Sol! I'll gladly help you!"

"We will go to the place where I work at, In Pentagram City!"

"Work?"

"Yes! I work in a hotel.....actually I came to this forest to gather some ingredients..."

"I think the owner I worked at can help you."

"I don't trust her master.....It looks suspicious...."

"Shut it you, we need help and since I don't know where I am, I'm lucky enough Ms.Charl is willing to help me!"

"Don't look at me when something bad happens, worst case scenario just summon an abyssal monsters and wreck havoc like a true King that you are!!!!"

True king my ass!!! I was just an 18 yr old college student a hours ago!

I accompanied Charl on gathering her ingredients in the forest. and I ended up having problems concerning my wings, my sense of balance is actually off, there are times I just fall down for no reason.

Also I got addicted on watching my tail, because it has some glowing halo's around it. Few hours later we returned to where Charl works at.

She told me that here in the 3rd Circle there are lots of kingdoms and cities, but the most famous ones are Ouroboros City ,Pentagram City and the Nightmare Kingdom.

Ouroboros City is a city surrounded by a large snake known as the Ouroboros since this snake eats its own tail a certain demon created a city at the middle, making the colossal snake a natural barrier, and the only way to enter the city is using a portal.

Pentagram City on the other hand is a lawless city infested of all kinds of unholy and corrupted beings. The city itself is hundred times the size of Asia, and they call this a city?

In the middle of this city is the hotel where Charl works at.

Nightmare Kingdom a kingdom founded by Elizabeth Bathory basically a kingdom of vampires. She is known as the Mistress of the Night. Despite being the Queen of the said kingdom she has never taken someone to be her king.

Her kingdom can rival some powerful kingdoms in the 6th and 7th circle. She also knows about Count Dracula or BloodKing Vlad Dracul Tepes. Dracula resides in the 9th circle known as Cocytus, The name of Dracula's kingdom is Regatul Dragonului.

After hours of talking we finally arrived in Pentagram City.
