Rank Up

Ben was annoyed, he had sat in the spring for hours now and the smaller demon next to him was sitting there, sunken in the spring to the nose and constantly blowing bubbles.

'If I just drown that bastard would something happen? What if it was an accident? ' Ben pondered.

Ben casually placed his elbow on its head and pushed it down. First, there was nothing, but after a minute or so it started to fight back, kicking its legs and waving its arms about like crazy.

"Kakakakakaaa!" A big and fat demon in front who was watching the show couldn't help but laugh loudly.

But as the movements of the small demon stopped, it roared angrily at Ben and stood up. Towering over him with his nearly 4 meters of height and completely blocking Ben's view. The huge figure raised its fist when suddenly a spacial rift opened and a 3-meter tall four-winged demon stepped out. Ben instantly knew this was a high-rank demon who must be guarding the rank-up springs. It pulled out a huge sword with red glowing runes, and before Ben could see what had happened, the head of the massive demon was dropping into the water in front of him. The huge and fat body fell backward, causing big waves and the water to splash everywhere. When the water turned purple from the blood, the high-ranking demon was already gone. Ben now saw for the first time how huge the gaps are among the ranks. Even in the world, he was before, he knew Ulgon was strong, but could not see him fight, and could not see how Ulgon easily ripped the humans, even with their horses, into pieces.

"HAHAHAHAAA!" Now Ben couldn't help but laugh the high-rank demon who appeared just mistook the fat demon for the culprit. Ben quickly let the two souls disappear into his mouth while the others still didn't get what had happened. Sitting there for another couple of hours, Ben's body suddenly felt different, a warm, comfortable feeling spread through him from the inside out.

Ben became much, much stronger, but he also felt something different inside him, a tingling feeling he could not explain. It was like an itch, but also felt good. So Ben took a look at his status.

His power level doubled and he finally had magic. When Ben stood up to leave he noticed that his skin was now light red; his horns had a growth spurt, and were now around 20cm long and much thicker, comparable to the horns of a young bull.

Ben was just walking and looking around for a place where he could try out his magic, but it didn't take long for him to get reminded that this was literally hell. While he was looking at some trees that were burning from the inside, he heard footsteps behind him; something was following him. To escape whatever was behind him, Ben prepared his wings and took off. With the dark vision that every demon is born with, he easily could see what was beneath him.

After flying for around an hour he found a wide-open space with a pond in the middle, where he circled around for a while to make sure not too many demons were around. When Ben landed in the middle, he scratched his cheek, searching his memories for how to activate his magic or use it.

Ben raised his hand and pointed his palm forward.

"Fireball!" Not even taking longer to form, a fist-sized ball of fire sped into the distance. Ben was deep in thought, wagged his tail.

"It took 10 magic points and was only enough to light a fire and what is also strange is i don't seem to have an affinity does that mean i can use all? But if they are all that weak they are useless to fight other demons."

Ben mumbled to himself.

"Lightning strike!"

"Waterball!"

...

Trying all the elements, Ben noticed that they were all the same and took the same amount of magic points. Disappointed Ben flew off to find himself a place to stay and maybe a few souls.

A few days ago in a modern world, you could see a group of 15 angles led by a priest walking around a church.

"Where is Mia?" A female angel with long black hair whispered as she leaned toward a tall blonde one.

When Aniela looked around while chewing something that must be bubblegum to spot her friend, she shrugged her shoulders.

"Maybe she found something interesting!"

Meanwhile, in a store, an old man was kneeling with tears in his eyes.

"THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! 'sob sob' The doctors said they can't cure me

and now God sent me an angel! I don't know how I should express my gratitude, just choose anything from my shop!" The man said, crying out of happiness.

Mia didn't even take long and instantly ran to the front of the store and came back hugging a stuffed animal that looked like a bear.
