CP: 2 - Contract

When Elijah tried to open his eyes one last time, he found himself in a completely different world. The aura in the place he was now was dark and heavy. This pressure was crushing his soul.

Elijah was gradually getting used to this pressure. His body and soul were quickly adapting to it.

"Finally!!!" A young woman's voice exclaimed. The voice was sweet and filled with sensuality, like a magical melody.

The dark aura around him had blinded him. Elijah was focusing all his attention to find the source of the voice.

The voice he heard had enchanted him. Elijah thought, "The owner of this voice must surely be an angel."

The dark aura around Elijah was slowly dispersing. When he found the source of the voice, he couldn't believe his eyes. Because he wasn't expecting to see a demon.

The demon he saw had a beautiful figure. The enchanting gaze in the beautiful woman's eyes was hypnotic. Her purple hair and wings added to her allure.

"Welcome. You must be Elijah, right?" The woman with purple hair asked in a sweet tone. The energy in the woman's voice was enough to activate all of Elijah's senses.

In the midst of all this emotional chaos, Elijah was still frozen, trying to grasp what was happening. He had burned. He had definitely died in flames. But inexplicably, he was now able to breathe.

While Elijah was trying to make sense of all this, another person in the room spoke.

"Elijah, we want to talk to you right now. You should be happy that I've spent my valuable time on a being like you. Don't be astonished."

The stern voice brought Elijah back to reality. He quickly composed himself. The harsh voice increased the tension in the room. Elijah could sense how powerful the entities around him were.

"Who are you? Where is this place?"

Finally overcoming his fear and confusion, Elijah began asking the questions that had been swirling in his mind. He hadn't thought about asking them; the words just came out of his mouth.

"Welcome to the Abyss, Elijah. It's called the 'Abyss,' though some name it differently. But generally, it's known as the Abyss."

A heavy voice spoke. This voice sounded like that of a man in his twenties. The voice was entirely dull and numb.

"You didn't die. You've just been pulled by the Abyss. I can explain how it works to you sometime."

The sweet-voiced woman spoke again. Her tone and way of speaking hinted at certain things.

"We are the first prisoners of the Abyss. We have a request for you. We want you to free us from the Abyss. We used to live with humans before being thrown into the Abyss. But..."

The numb voice spoke again. However, soon after, the arrogant voice interrupted his speech.

"That's enough of a story. We want you to make a deal with us. Each of us will give you a portion of our power. In return,..."

Ignoring the arrogant voice, Elijah intervened. Since childhood, he had heard many stories about demons.

In the stories he listened to, demons were depicted as evil and ruthless beings.

"I cannot make a deal with demons."

Although Elijah was afraid to say this, he had to express his feelings. Because the main reason he came here was one of the Satanic Cults, the Crimson Altar Cult.

"Don't speak so confidently, young friend. Remember! If you act quickly, you can save the other members of your family."

The silent figure within the darkness finally broke the silence. His words suddenly changed Elijah's mind.

Images of his family flashed before Elijah's eyes. Currently, his family was captured by the Crimson Altar Cult.

After seeing all this, Elijah felt that he had to consider some things. It started to make sense to pay a small price in exchange for power.

"What do you want!"

After a short while, Elijah was ready to return to the world.

"Don't forget! Don't waste your limited time on trivial matters. If you can't establish a connection between the Abyss and Earth in time, you will die."

The silent figure made a small reminder. Due to his speaking style, Elijah likened him to a teacher.

Because his way of speaking set him apart from other demons. While most other demons looked down on him, he didn't appear as arrogant as the others.

"Elijah, please wait... This crown is an indication that you are the Demon King. With this crown, you can communicate with hidden and sealed demons on Earth. Also, if you want to come to the Abyss, use this ring."

The woman with purple hair enchanted the atmosphere with her usual sweet and alluring voice.

The crown given by the woman with purple hair began to merge with Elijah's body. After a few seconds, it had completely disappeared.

Elijah could only think of his family. After a few seconds, he had finally returned to the world.

"I'm still inside the pit."

Elijah examined his body in astonishment. What surprised him was the absence of burns on his body. The burns had completely disappeared.
