43 Demon (1/2)

The residents of the afterlife were shocked at hearing that Adum had a master. Adum having a master meant that there was something above a god.

Adum told the three guards to go back to what they were doing. The guards were shaken, the mysterious force that was pushing them down, and trying to make them kneel was powerful. They would remember Karl for the rest of their lives.

Karl listened to Adum and followed him to his office. As they walked, Adum asked Karl a question, ”Master, what is that form you're taking?”

”Well, I couldn't take a form of an existing race, or else they'd think they were superior, so I chose this form. Why? Do you not like it?” Karl explained.

”No, it's not that. That makes sense, and I like it. I think it suits you very much, master,” Adum replied.

Adum greeted two guards as he entered his office. ”So, this is where I do my work.”

Karl looked around. It was very white. It looked as if everything was made out of marble. ”Did you create all of this? It looks good.”

Adum nodded. ”Yes, I was the first to discover that you could shape the afterlife with spiritual mana.” He grabbed a chair for Karl. ”Please, take a seat.”

Karl took a seat, and Adum sat across from him.

”So, what would you like to know?” Adum asked.

”Anything. Good or bad, I don't care,” Karl replied.

Adum nodded. ”Well, some of the souls are becoming reapers like the Kaitera.”

”How does that work?” Karl asked, curious.

”They go to school and are taught everything that a Kaitera knows. This is a temporary job, as the more souls they transport to the afterlife, the less time they need to wait for reincarnation.”

”That's pretty smart. So is that what the bad people are doing to shorten their waiting time?”

”Ehh... Not exactly. Some people have done a lot of bad things that I've sentenced them to over a thousand years in the afterlife. As you can expect, they didn't like this very much. A small, evil group of spirits has gone around, recruiting the evilest beings in the afterlife, and they're trying to find a way to break out of the afterlife.”

”That's bad. Have they made any progress?”

”Unfortunately, yes. They call themselves demons, and they've managed to corrupt spiritual mana to create their own type of mana that only they can use, Demonic Mana.”

”Demonic Mana? How different is it to the other types of mana?”

”Very different. It's an evil power that will corrupt the user no matter what, at least that's what we've seen. Using Demonic Mana, they've made themselves a physical body and have managed to change their species.”

”Let me guess. Their new race is called demons?”
