Ch.3
7's name before was Dared-fe. Dared-fe was his true demon name. The numbers come from how many letters are in your name. Since my true name is Anung Un Rama, my number should be 11.
At least, that's what I expect it to be. I have no clue as to how the renaming with numbers works. I have debated on how to fight back. I figure I can use the stupid Rules to get out of this scot-free.
"First course of action, a number." Purple-Eyes said after saying to sit back from the Position.
I waited for him to ask my name. He looked as if contemplating something. I didn't move from my spot. kept my head down.
"I've done my homework on you, filth. Theoretically, since there are a total of eleven numbers in your true name and all numbers must be single digit, your number should be 2. However, you need to earn your number, you will be known as 0. Do I make myself clear?" Purple-Eyes explained.
"Yes...Master." I responded with clenched teeth.
"What is your name?" Purple-Eyes asked, testing me.
"Master, my name is 0." I answered promptly.
"Why is your name 0?" He asked.
"That is what you named me, Master." I answered smartly.
I could tell I upset Purple-Eyes. Nothing he could do. I obeyed is Rules. Punishing me just because he felt like it would only cause problems, and he knew it.
