- Demon

While reading all the notifications, Zex progressively felt a choking pressure. In a short amount of time, he was able to perform actions detestable even to him. His conscience was screaming at him intensely.

After a while, he closed his eyes, took a very deep breath, and exhaled turbid air.

'To what extent are the changes?' Zex decided to bury his thoughts and feelings behind for now --- A defense mechanism he was extremely familiar with from his past life. He opened his Character Page and set it as 'Simple View'.

"Doesn't that mean that as long as I have experience points in my stash, I am close to invincible?" Zex widened his eyes at the effect.

(New Passive Skill) [Soul Contract - Alzeius] Your soul is bound to Alzeius. He will be able to sense your location most of the time and you will never be able to betray him.

'Figures' Zex scoffed at the contract. He then took another deep breath and toughened his resolve before backing out from his Mind Space.

Back in the throne room…

The Demon Lord Alzeius planned to wait for a while and let the man adjust to his emotions for a bit longer. However, to his surprise, the turbulence in the man's demonic aura was becoming clearer and clearer at a rapid pace.

'A gem. I FOUND A GEM!' He was excited for the first time in a very long time. It would seem his premonition was right. This newly acquired servant will be his greatest boon!

"How do you feel?" He suppressed his excitement and asked the man.

"Stronger. I am no longer human." Zex was giving his all to resist the urge to bite his lip and clench his fists.

"Good. Your aura is still weak right now but you will recover in no time." Alzeius said as he examined the new general he created in front of him. He could still sense some rage, guilt, and disgust from the man but he decided to ignore it.

"Thank you, my lord. What do you wish to have me do?" Zex did not wish to dawdle and cut to the chase. He was transformed into such a strong demon for a reason.

"You will become a general in my army.

Expand my territory and make my name known throughout the land." Alzeius applauded the man's straightforwardness in his heart and declared his ambition.

Zex's heart was racing at the thought. Wasn't he given too much authority from the start? Was it because of the soul contract that the demon lord does not fear his betrayal?

"As you will, my lord. However, I will need time to familiarize myself with the land and take control of your army." Zex declared.

Alzeius grinned and then said: "Of course! I will transmit to you some of my knowledge of the land."

Zex was relieved at the convenience. "Thank you, my lord."

Alzeius then continued. "As for the army, you do not need to bother just yet."

'So he does not trust me just yet. Understandable.' Zex mused to himself. No matter what society it is, it will take time for a recruit to be given much responsibility, especially when his ability to fight has never been tested before, much less lead or make important decisions.

However, the demon lord said: "Because I don't have an army yet."
