After the demon disappeared, Lloyd regained consciousness and looked around.
'Hm I feel very light and full of energy!! Did my plan work? I won the gamble huh? '
*DING
**FLASHBACK**
As I delved deeper into the memories, I could feel my heart racing with excitement.
' This was it! This was my chance to make something of myself, to become powerful and successful.'
'Hehe so this was what you are hiding Lloyd.'
In the memories of Lloyd I saw his mother crying and an old man putting a seal on Lloyd's soul.
Lloyd was just a month old so he could have forgotten but since I saw through them I listened to their conversation and my my it was very interesting.
Lloyd was the son of a demon. Yup his mother was not human but a demon's descendant. And her great ancestor was Lucifer Morningstar The King Of Devils.
And by luck this boy inherited the bloodline of Lucifer himself but his infant body couldn't handle the power so his mother had to sacrifice her life to place a seal on his bloodline.
'What a touching story. Hah Like I care. Now I need to unlock the bloodline. If I am not wrong Lucifer's main ability was DEVOUR.
Which could devour a being and could get the targets power and experience. And convert the soul into mana and strengthen the mana core. '
This ability helped Lucifer sit on the throne and it was what caused his fall as his ability was too heaven-defying he was betrayed by his own kin and he died.
Now to unlock the seal I need to sacrifice a demon's soul.
' I'll summon a demon and when he tries to forcefully make me submit. He'll get devoured by the seal present in my sea of consciousness. But it's all a gamble, If the demon is careful then It would be the end for me. But If I am not wrong Mephisto is careless and his nature will mostly make him fall in my trap. '
**FLASHBACK ENDED**

'Haya~ Tricking the Demon of Tricks sure is fun. I don't have time, I'll go through the status later first I need to feel mana. '
'Finally I can start getting stronger and those question marks only makes my smile wider. This system will help me keep get stronger faster as with it I can keep track of my strengths .'
This world has system for everyone who has mana in their body.
' Should I take 'his' inheritance? Nah I am pathetically weak right now. I need to get stronger to even think about 'it'. '
I sat cross legged and closed my eyes. I could feel small particles dancing around me. This must be mana the magical energy
I tried absorbing them but it was very difficult because absorbing wasn't just taking the mana in but guiding the mana through my mana veins. I need to get used to it to be able to do it unconsciously.
Time passed and morning arrived.
Right at 7 am there was a knock on the door.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the room it was mess and my finger which I cut I put it back. Yes Thanks to Regeneration i could do things like this but it took alot of toll on my body.
*KNOCK KNOCK
I cleaned up the room and opened the door.
"Mas-"
'Sniff Sniff'
"What's this smell? Why is there a smell of blood in the room?" Said Mila.
"It's none of your business." I said coldly but deep inside I was pissed at myself for forgetting that Mila was 5-star fighter.
'Shit! I have to change the topic'.
But before I could say something.
"Well If you say so, now tell me do you have a mana co-"
Mila stopped talking and looked at me like she was looking at a monster.
