A Gamers rise in Marvel

Chapter 11 : Viva Las Vegas, Baby!

I woke up early in the morning and quickly checked out of my hotel as I didn't want to stay that long. Who knows who might catch my scent. My earlier debacle with Shield this week only proved that I cant be lazy. My forgeries need to be flawless from now on.

So with a new name and face I make my way to Las Vegas. Sitting on a bus to be exact. LA to Vegas, 7 hour drive.

Was this necessary?

Couldn't we just go there by portal?

And alert the defiler of my presence? Sorry SYSTEM, but we gotta go the normal way. Besides, I always wanted to see California and Nevada. Sure its mainly desert, but sometimes its a pretty desert.

Now back to business

If I recall the Defiler was one of those brawler type of demons. Fueled by lust and all muscle with no brains. That's why I want to do a sneak attack on him. Get him quick, stab him in face a few times and that's it.

Wont he be able to sense your magical energy though?

How are you going to get close?

That's... a really good question. Shit I didn't think of it. If I recall my only stealth skills right now are "Stealth" which essentially silences my movement and "Invisibility" which is self-explanatory.

Guess I need a new skill.

Using my Mana manipulation, I focus on the energy within my body. With enough effort, I can sense the swirls of energy flowing in and out of my body. It's one thing to see them, but another thing entirely to stop them. Its like patching holes in a submarine, only for another one to pop up somewhere else.

'Dammit, at this rate no skill will be created!' I think while smacking the side of the bus, making the other passengers stare at me. i quickly look away in embarrassment.

Using my telepathic skill, I make the passengers forget my outburst and force them to look away.

Ok. back to my problem. Sneaking into Vegas while hiding my magic.

What about a skill merge?

That... could work. Why the hell didn't I think of that?

Probably because you're sitting in a cramped bus, The Ac isn't working and its 39 Degrees Celsius?

That's probably it. Well thanks for the Help SYSTEM. Couldn't have done it without ya.

Relationship with SYSTEM +5 (65)

Your very welcome Boss.

:)

Oh, I totally forgot. What happened to my 50 REP reward I was gonna get from you after I passed level 50?

I forgot?

Of course you did. Can you give it to me now at least?

Item acquired: Soul magic grimoire: Soul magic deals with the manipulation and use of Souls, the fabric of all life

'Pretty good darling. You always give the best presents' I think while chuckling.

You're very welcome boss

Now then. Skill merge: Stealth LV 43 and Invisibility LV 58. Destroy both!

Merging skills...processing....Success

Skill created: Presence concealment LV 1 (E Rank) (hide all traces of your existence, costs 5.000 MP/m)

Destroying skills...processing...Success

Skill levelled up: Presence concealment LV 75 (A Rank) (hide all traces of your existence, costs 50.000 MP/m)

Damn. Another servant skill. Nice!

Cant use it now though. If some woman suddenly disappears on a crowded bus, someone's gonna notice. And yes I'm a woman right now.

Ive been improving my Glamour magic for a while now (mainly by changing my features beneath my baggy clothes) and am proud to have it at LV 47.

So now I'm Shiki Ryougi, a twenty something Student from LA, going to Vegas for vacation.

I'm here to gamble and watch some shows playing on the strip. Mainly the rock concert playing in three days for which I already have my tickets for.

I'm dressed in light clothing to combat the heat. Shorts and a tank top. And my appearance is completely different once again. For some reason, making myself look like characters from the Nasuverse is much easier than using normal faces.

So the face I'm using now is that of Shiki Ryougi, whose name I also took, The protagonist of the "Garden of sinners" series.

I have Ink-black hair which is short and unkempt, along with a pale skin colour and black eyes.

Simply put, I have a solid cover. I'm actually born in America to two Japanese migrants. I even have a drivers license, Passport and a social security number. Take that Coulson!

Not that I actually need it this time. Shield wont be involved in this. I may encounter some agents from the MACUSA's Auror division though. If I recall the devourer's actions were actually endangering the Supernatural community's, as they may expose their existence.

New problem, Does Shield know of the MACUSA? I'll have to ask about that. Should I meet them at least. Something I'm not actually planning for a few years.

For thinking things through +3 Wis + 2 INT

That's always nice. But I'm no longer in the mood to think.

The heat is finally getting to me and we have a 5 hour drive left. You know what! Fuck secrecy and all that. With a new idea in mind, I focus on the air-conditioning which is only blowing hot air right now. Guess that wont work.

Using my Water magic, I form small ice crystals in the unseen areas of the bus, mainly under the seats and walls. I also use my telepathy to make sure no one notices the appearance of the crystals and the sudden drop in temperature.

Soon enough, the inside of the bus cools down to acceptable levels. I'm also constantly using my magic to renew the crystals and to collect the water that melts. Wouldn't want any puddles to form in here.

'Ahh...much better' I think, happy with my work.

As I don't have anything else to do, I retrieve the new grimoires from my inventory and put them in my backpack. From there I pull them out and start reading.

While I mainly focus on necromancy and soul magic , I do regularly give the Eromancy Grimoire a good peek.

Turns out that Necromany cant actually bring back the dead in the way I promised to Kaecillius. Sure I can make corpses move again and turn them into zombies and other monstrosity's, but I cant bring back people as they were before death. To do that, I have to get their souls. This is actually more important then their body, as even just a bit of DNA would suffice to make a new one.

So I need to retrieve the souls first from whatever afterlife they ended up in. that could prove difficult. While I do have Lucifer's favour ( I think so at least) getting souls from realms other than Hell is currently impossible.

Perhaps I should try to contact death later on. My perk should easily help me with getting her to help me out. Or it should at least give me the chance to befriend her.

Urgh, Abstract entity's are such bullshit.

Well back to reading then.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Las Vegas, the "Sin city" is finally coming in to view. Not a moment to soon as well.

My back is killing me! Sitting in the same place for 6 hours is never good, I tell you.

At least I got something good from it.

Water magic levelled up to 16

Skill created Soul magic LV 24 ( Target must be incapacitated or have a smaller level than the caster)

Sub skills: Soul bind, minor Soul manipulation.

Skill created Necromancy LV 28 (Target must be dead and of equal or smaller level than the caster.)

Sub skills: Create undead, minor corpse modification

Skill created Eromancy LV 12 ( Can be blocked if defences are specifically tuned to it)

Sub skills: Pleasure manipulation, minor body modification

The soul binding could be great for downed enemy's. Not sure about Soul manipulation though, some tests are required first.

Create undead is self explanatory. Make some zombies, and send them to munch on someone.

minor corpse modification will probably allow me to strengthen their bodies a bit.

The last one is honestly the best.

It's hilarious that Eromancy basically undermines any magical defences and I'm pretty sure no one in the magical community would even consider guarding against it. Just imagining having an enemy orgasm mid-fight makes me chuckle. That could be really great!

Oi! the bus is emptying!

Oh right. I have to go now.

I grab my backpack and exit the bus, now finding myself on the famous Las Vegas Strip. Always wanted to go here and see how good my luck is. Especially now that it's an increasable Stat.

So what's the agenda?

Well I have three days until the rock concert, meaning I need to check into my hotel and otherwise enjoy my stay.

Sounds good.

Like a vacation actually.

'Why of course! If you're in Vegas, might as well enjoy it' I think jovially while entering the lobby of Ceaser's Palace. Heading for the counter and joining the line, I look around and spot the brochures describing the shows available in Vegas right now. After getting the keys to my suite, I make my way over and look through them.

The "Blueman group", always wanted to see them. A dozen variations of "Circ de Soleil". Some magic Shows too. The ones available are Chriss Angel Mindfreak, David Copperfield and Zat-

You've got to be shitting me!

Why! What's wrong?

Oh I Just found the show I wanted to see, that's all.

Is this "Zatanah Zatara" really that good?

You have no Idea SYSTEM.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Zatanna Zatara

To say that she was worried, was an understatement. Zatannah had been loving her life and enjoyed to continue the work her father left her. The profession of a Stage magician using real magic.

Most mages believed her mad, to use her extraordinary talents on something they considered beneath her. Zatannah cared little for their opinions on the matter. She loved the stage while working with her father and now that he was gone, she would continue in his footsteps. It went really well for a long time. She rose in fame and recognition, eventually becoming a star attraction to people all over the US.

Simply put, she was in the big leagues. But now that was being threatened, by a bloody demon no less. This "Defiler" arrived two months ago with his band "Corruption of innocence", an apt description by what she heard, and is now wreaking havoc so to say. He used his demonic magic to attract the crowds who listened to his music, making them practically beg for more. And it was no secret to herself as to what happened to fans that were invited "Backstage".

Urgh just thinking about it made shivers crawl up her spine. The bastard forced himself on the female fans and devoured their souls, strengthening himself. The biggest problem is that he simply discarded the bodies in the streets, with no care for whom may find a soul drained corpse. The Auror team now permanently stationed in the city was basically reduced to corpse disposal.

She honestly hated how this situation turned out. One may be wondering why the aurors haven't moved to kill him yet and the answer is really disheartening. They are afraid and uninformed. No one knows what alliances the Defiler may have in hell, nor does anyone know how powerful he really is. The only ones who could help, the Papal exorcists are very unwilling. According to them " A city of debauchery within a nation of heathens, which caters to sinners and witches deserves whatever damnation the demon has in store for them!".

'Dammit! Why the hell are their most capable members such damned zealots!' Zatannah thinks in rage. Sadly she cant really help either. While her inherited "Logomancy" had proven incredibly versatile and powerful, she wasn't trained to use it in combat properly. Sure she could hold her own against other mages and what not. But a fullblown Demon? One that no one knew anything concrete about? Yeah she wouldn't risk that.

'Cant think about that now Zatannah, you have a show to perform' she mentally berated herself. Yes, this was what she had to do, dazzle and amaze. Soon enough the curtains lifted up and the show began.

It was business as usual. She did her tricks and the people loved it, but this time Zatannah had an unusual feeling about it. Something was off and she would know what. So she started inspecting her surroundings, searching for the source of this unease.

She couldn't stop of course, that would make whatever was watching her suspicious. So she continued the show. Her current trick employed an assistant she had taken from the crowd and had already sown in half. A minimal spatial distortion with some optical illusions in the mix. That's all it was. She put the man back together and sent him to his seat. That's when she saw her.

A Young woman of Asian descent, dressed in casual clothing and ink black hair. What really enraptured Zatannah were the eyes. Those pitch black eyes couldn't be natural. So Zatannah started peeking at her guest here and there, finding three things of interest. First was the appearance, which through careful deduction and a carefully hidden spell was revealed to be a glamour of sorts. A highly sophisticated one at that. The next surprise was that the woman joined in the applause of her performance, something most magicals would never do out of their stuck up pride. This girl seemed to honestly enjoy her show, that's a first for a fellow witch. But back to her findings.

The last one frightened her honestly, as it was the source of her unease. The girl gave of no Mana, something that was impossible. Every being with a soul gives of miniscule amounts of Mana, be they magicals or not. To have no Mana was to be dead or to have no soul( which is essentially the same). As the woman was using a glamour, that couldn't be the case. The only remaining option scared her a bit. It would mean that the mysterious guest was a trained assassin or operative specialised in taking magicals by surprise. But why would such a person be here.

The only reason She was able to notice that feature of her's was because of Her own magic. It dealt with the raw fabric of magic, causing her capability to sense Mana to develop exponentially. Most magicals consider the idea of non magical beings to have Mana as false ideas and unproven science. Zatanah knew of its validity due to her own abilities but would never dare bring that truth to the magical world. that direction of ideas was followed once before and it ended in entire categories of magic being banned. so she rather concentrates on her strange guest and continues to observe her. Anyone else would be completely blindsi-

'I thinks she saw me staring' She thought in panic. 'And now she's smiling at me, Great'.

Zattanah finishes her show and heads backstage to her private room. She starts changing into different clothes hoping to leave as soon as possible. When she gets to removing her heels, she's interrupted by a knock at her door:"Zatannah" one of the stagehands calls out." There's a fan here who wanted to meet you. should I send her in?" he asks.

Damn, looks like she just ran out of time. Deciding on her course of action she calls out"Sure, send her in would you?"

Time to face the music.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Jeanne Dark

'Hope this wont be to awkward' I think while waiting for the stage hand to talk to Zatannah.

Argh who am I kidding, she totally saw me checking her out. Going by how often she stared at me and how uncomfortable she looked, I guess she was a bit crept out. Damn it, if you wear a sexy leotard and fishnet stockings that look that good, what do you expect to happen!

I'm getting worked up over a theory, lets just see how this goes and if I can get an autograph. Ogling aside, I actually really enjoyed the show. Using my mystic eyes to see how she used her magic sometimes was really amazing. The last trick was really good as well.

She reached into her hat, causing a giant one to come out of the ceiling. She then grabbed someone from the audience and pulled him out of the hat all shrunken down. She quickly made him grow in size and sent him back to his seat.

Dimensional portals that shrink or expand whatever goes through. I loved it!

I don't have to wait long, as the stagehand quickly returns, telling me I can see her.

Opening the door, i'm greeted by Zatannah wearing only her corset and leotard. Seems like I caught her while changing. Before I can greet her she utters" well come in already, close the door will you?"

Doing as she asks, I approach her, unsure at how to approach this. Should I just as-

"Are you here to kill me?" she asks in an unsure tone, a bit of fear in her voice.

"What!? No why would you even think that!" I ask in shock, surprising her as well.

"But I thought...why are you hiding your presence then?"

"Maybe to conceal myself from the demon that's in town!" I say, making her eyes widen once again.

"Oh... that makes sense, but. Why are you here then?" She asks making me smile in return.

"Because I wanted to see your show of course! I'm a fan!"

"What? You're a fan, but you're a witch aren't you?" She asks incredulously.

"Why of course, your magic show was amazing" she doesn't seem to believe me," I guess other witches think that you're misusing your powers on something they consider a waste. Did I get it right?"

"Well yes, does this mean you don't share their opinions about my job"

"Of course" I answer enthusiastically. I start to talk about various act of her show and which parts absolutely amazed me. After a while she also started getting into it as she began explaining her inspirations and methods for various tricks.

This goes on for a while before I say :" besides I'm not the normal witch myself. I came to the city on business but saw your show was playing. I always heard good things of it, so I thought I would see it."

"well. Thanks a lot for that, its nice to be praised by a fellow witch for once. Well you knew this already, but i'm Zatannah"

"I'm Shiki Ryougi and... and that's a lie, my names Jeanne Dark, pleasure to meet you" I correct myself.

"likewise Jeanne. I take it your name and glamour charm are related to this business you have? I'd really like to know what you could possibly want here in Vegas?" She asks.

"I'm actually here to get rid of that demon who thinks he's a rock star" I answer her.

"What? You cant be serious, do you have any idea what you're doing" she quickly berates me.

"I do actually, but I would like to know what exactly you mean with that." I ask, prompting her to explain the situation surrounding the Defiler. Getting the Aurors to clean up his messes constantly is honestly hilarious.

"in the end , the main problem with attacking the demon, is the fact that we don't know his relations in hell. We just have to wait until The ministry knows more." Zatannah says, clearly distraught over the situation.

"Well I didn't come here to wait around, besides" I say while showing the mark Lucifer made on my hand:" The one who sent me definitely has the authority to do so."

Zatannah stares in shock at the symbol, followed by a scared look towards me. I guess Magicals don't deal with demons that much. "You...you are under orders for Lucifer? You work for him?!" She asks in a rising panic.

"Calm down, I made a deal with him that's all" I try to calm her.

"That's just as bad!" She practically yells.

I wait for her to calm down and tell her an abridged version of why I'm here. I'm telling this to her so she can relegate it to the wizarding community. I hate repeating myself after all.

Basic story is: An unknown witch has been tasked by the devil to hunt down demons that angered him. She does this because he promised her a cure for a rare affliction she possesses.

"That's quite a bit to take in, are you sure no one else knew how to cure you?" she asks.

"It demonic in nature and incredibly complex, so no one else could help in the matter."i answer her before continuing "if possible, id like you to keep my name a secret when the aurors question you on this matter."

"I can do that, Id also prefer to keep my anonymity in your situation. Should I give the other name you gave me earlier?"

"No, I have something better. Lucifer granted me the title of Dragon Witch, I intend to use it."

"Well it wasn't taken, sounds a bit scary though" Zatannah laughs a bit trying to lighten the mood.

Soon an awkward silence befalls the room, prompting me to remember what I came for."oh I almost forgot, I wanted your Autograph actually." I say while getting a postcard with her depicted on it. "Don't worry, its not secretly a contract or something." I try to reassure her.

She gives me her autograph after a while making me beam at her. With our business concluded I make towards the door." Oh here's my number by the way" I say while giving her a slip of paper," Give that to the aurors later on so they know how to contact me. If you ever find yourself visiting new york, give me a call will ya."

With that my first contact in the magical community was made.

Relationship with Zatannah +30 for liking her show, unlike other magicals.

Obedience with Zatannah +40 for being employed by the devil himself.

She wasn't sure if she wanted to recruit or kill Zatannah to be honest. You see Zatannah wasn't actually a human, but a rare species known as Homo magi. Beings to whom magic comes ridiculously easy and naturally. Zatannah's own magic Logomancy, can virtually do anything that's described in its spells and is incredibly versatile or even limitless in its capability's.

That also explains her Level.

Well i'm not sure how i'm gonna deal with her, as I don't actually need her magic. What I do plan on having is that beautiful ass of hers. And that I wont budge on.

Enough of that for now. Back to business.

Now with a bit of backstory as well and knowing the situation, I can properly prepare to take on that demon. 'Ha, He'll never see me coming' I grin while making my way to the hotel.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

3 days later.

Say what you may about this bastard, but his magic is quite effective. The Defiler, a man dressed like a wrestler and built like a bodybuilder, could not sing.

The fact that the people around me are cheering for this screeching just pisses me of more. My stats and presence concealment prevent me from being affected by his illusions, making me hear the uncensored version of his terrible singing.

Honestly, I don't care about his crimes, but this singing is an abomination that must be destroyed at all costs.

It takes about an hour for the concert to end and about another one for the guests to start leaving.

Me? I'm staying at the front yelling how I'm the demons biggest fan and how I want him to sign my tits. The bastard obviously takes the bait, As he is a demon of wrath and lust. His stats were a bit disappointing honestly,

Wisdom= 2

Intelligence= 30

Charm=50

Luck=0

Unique skills:

Herculean strength (Wrath)

Helltaker (Lust)

I'm Really interested in that last perk. The rest of his stats are also really great, so I will be devouring him. Me and a few other girls are invited for a "Private Show" to which we're being led now. They take us to a large suite in the Belagio, at least they'll treat us before munching our souls. At least they don't notice anything off about me. Something I learned from my run in with Zatannah, was that I couldn't completely hide my Mana. So now I'm letting a completely normal, muggle amount of Mana leak out of my body. I'm broken out of my inner boasting by my target.

"My my, such a pretty girl here. Where are you from Darling" The defiler asks while taking me into his private room. What a gullible fool. He didn't even notice me using my telepathy to make him single me out.

"Oh I'm from L.A., but my parents are from Japan." I say in a ditsy voice" they would be so happy I got to meet you, Ive been your biggest fan for along time!"

"I'm sure they would" he says while giving me that creepy smile. His band members, who are also demons, are busy with the other girls. I'm now alone with him, in a bedroom, which is also soundproofed. Bloody perfect.

"You know, the biggest Fan deserves the biggest reward" He says while lifting at my shirt

Gamers mind activated

Did he just try to compel me? Well he will regret it. I let him undress me while I answer"Yes I do deserve a reward"

he laughs at my response, while pushing me to my knees. "But only good girls get a reward, so tell me dear what are you? " he questions while unzipping his pants. Well this is perfect.

Servant mode

"The witch who's gonna kill you of course" The expression changing on his face is priceless as I plungeSt. Catherine's blade into his chest. I quickly kick him in the shin to make him drop and wrap my hands around his throat. He desperately tries to break free, but my strength is three times greater than his own. He's also trying to scream due to the blade burning his flesh from the inside out. I guess a holy blade, even when cursed, can still repel a demon.

30 seconds left.

Shouldn't've been this wasteful with my time I guess. I let go of the defiler and retrieve the Flags-spear. Argh a few seconds to gloat wont hurt. " Well well, little demon. Looks like you pissed the big man off" I say while pointing to my pentagram. " Time to die my friend"

He starts screaming for forgiveness as I prepare to swing. In one quick movement, the spear tip slices through his throat and grazes his spine.

15 seconds left

Its a near instant death, as he quickly collapsed while trying to hold his throat. Wanting proof of my victory I quickly grab his corpse and use Soul that, a reddish ball of light flows out of his body and into my hand.

Item Acquired:

Soul of the devourer

Good. I have about 10 seconds left. Quickly retrieving my weapons and putting the body into my inventory, I burst through the door, surprising the girls and demons remaining. Moving quickly I throw the spear into the first demons chest and run towards the rest. The second demon quickly reacts by pulling one of the girls in front of him as a shield. Not even flinching I plunge the sword through the girl and hit him in the side.

Servant mode off

'Shit' I think while my armour vanishes. The third demon uses my momentary pause and punches me in the temple, knocking me backwards.

-13.450

Damn he packs a punch. With most of my Mana gone, I'll have to get creative. Rushing backwards with sword in hand, I grab my gun and shoot a fire extinguisher next to the two remaining demons.

Using the bought time to regenerate my Mana, I quickly activate my presence concealment.

"Boss! Boss where are you. This bitch is killing us!" The wounded demon screams out. They quickly move through the smoke looking for me. The two remaining girls are screaming incredibly loud, which thankfully wont draw any attention as this room was also sound-proofed.

I rush around and retrieve the Flag-spear, placing both in my inventory. Lets hope this works.

I drop the Presence concealment so I can fully utilize my MPr. The two demons immediately charge towards me, but its already to late. Using the entirety of my Mana, I blast both demons with the strongest plume of hellfire I can conjure. While not burning them away as I hoped,(guess it wouldn't work that well on demons) it does singe their skin and blind them for a short while. Using this chance I once again retrieve my blades and charge the two. They barely notice my attack and are powerless to defend themselves. I stab the wounded demon through the throat with my spear and carve up the others chest with my sword. Both wordlessly fall to the ground with a slump.

Level up X 47

Sword mastery levelled up to 35

Pole arm mastery levelled up to 42

Hell Fire levelled up to 8

'Damn that was hectic', I think while inspecting their bodies. They better have been stronger than me or this entire battle would have been a waste of tactics.

Lesser Incubus LV 90

Strength=150

Vitality=100

Dexterity=50

Wisdom= 5

Intelligence= 15

Charm=50

Luck=10

So they really were stronger than me. Might as well take their stuff then. I use Soul bind once again to take their souls, Lucy may want them after all. I also store their bodies, as they may just prove to be a decent meal later on.

Soul of a Lesser Incubus X 3

Now all that remains is the two girls screaming their hearts out. Using my telepathy I calm them down and put them to sleep. I need to clean up now after all. Hotel room covered in blood and a dead groupie in the corner. Could've been worse.

I pull the dead girl into my inventory, She's fresh meat after all. I'm a growing girl, I have to eat.

I chuckle at the macabre thought. Devour really has fucked me up.

Urgh, I'm not really in the mood to cover this mess up. Shouldn't the Aurors be around to help out.

Might as well check. I activate my Presence detection and hone in on any magical signatures. Soon enough I find two Magicals which I hope are Aurors, leaving their hotel room which was only 20 rooms away from this one. I guess they noticed the demonic signatures suddenly vanishing.

Making myself comfortable on the couch, I start drinking some whiskey I stole from the minibar. While slowly sipping liquor, I repair any damages my glamour received during the fight. Happy with my repaired disguise, I rest my head on the pillows and wait for the Aurors to arrive.

Soon enough they burst through the door with their wands out. They seem shocked at the scene they find, quickly seeing me. This time i'm letting my Mana flow freely, making them know that in don't need to be obliviated. The first one points his wand at me" State your name and tell us what happened here!" He orders me.

Oh I don't like being ordered around, so I ignore him and continue with my drink. This angers him and causes him to approach me " I am Ivan McDougall, Auror Captain of the Pacific state department of magical law Enforcement and you will answer me imminently!"

Ok now he's pissing me of. I quickly stand up and show him the pentagram making him immediately back up. " Now listen up! I was sent here to kill the demon. I did my job and now I'll be leaving. Zatannah Zatara knows the details and will inform you of any questions you might have.

She will also give you means to contact me. And I wont tolerate this form of disrespect again!" I berate as I open a portal to my hotel room and leave.

With that finally over, I start packing and soon check out of my hotel. Ive had enough of the east coast and want to go home for now. With my decision to finish up my business I head into an empty valley and open a portal to Lucifer's penthouse.

Guess he isn't here right now. Damn.

Going to the bar, I once again make myself a drink and wait for his unholiness to arrive. I don't have to wait long for him to exit his elevator and greet me "You know I have a front door, something that should be used rather than opening a portal to my Club every time you visit."

"But it so much easier like this, beside I finished the first Job."

"That's odd, I would know if the defiler's soul had returned to hell. No such thing has happened Jeanne. Are you lying to me?" he says while his eyes slowly turn red.

Not saying anything I pull the demons soul from my inventory:" And here I thought you wanted them delivered to you instead." I say with a smirk, enjoying his dumbfounded expression.

"You really are full of Surprises Jeanne" he says while approaching me. He points to the soul:"May I? "

"Of course, that's why I brought it after all." I say while handing over the soul. Lucifer takes his time and inspects it. He suddenly laughs after a short while:" Stabbed in the chest with a holy sword? That's got to hurt.

I must say Jeanne you really are something. Were you even aware that our deal didn't have a time limit?"

"Of course, I just wanted to get it finished as soon as possible. By the way, what will these get me?" I ask while handing him the remaining souls.

"My we do have a busy body here ey? Well i'm feeling generous now. Make a wish my dear, nothing to big though."

Make a wish huh. But what to wish for? Hmm maybe a new weapon? Ive noticed during my fight with the incubi that my two weapons aren't the most versatile in most situations. I also cant have a repeat of Servant mode draining away all of my Mana. But what could help me there...

Ohohoh, I think I got it.

"You have any grimoires on enchantments or alchemy you could lend?" I ask, hoping he agrees to the request.

"Hmm, I do have some very advanced alchemy books in my possession, but they're a bit to valuable for this situation. You making a Philosophers stone would make things to easy after all."

SYSTEM are you two cousins or something?

Not at all.

Though I do agree with him.

:)

Of course you do.

"What about enchantments then? " I ask hoping this one will work.

Lucifer opens a Portal into hell next to him and pulls out an old book which he promptly throws at me. I barely catch it as it flies towards my face. Lucifer only laughs at my dilemma.

Let see what we got.

Item acquired:

Expert enchantment Grimoire

I barely contain my happiness at this development. " Thank you Lucifer" I say in an innocent tone making him cackle like a madman.

We really are shaping up to be great friends. Probably because of my perk though. Stan lee really gave me something awesome.

You're very welcome

And he's still stalking me. Yaaaayyy

Coming back to the present I check out my REP with Lucifer.

Lucifer Mornigstar LV 666 ( Depowered )

REP(58.63)

OBE(0)

Perk awarded:

Devil's Advocate: Beings from Hell will be drawn to you. You intrigue them, making the want to be your ally or owner ( Rep gains with Demons and Devils multiplied by 2 )

Not bad at all.

Lucifer has calmed his laughter down by now and is preparing some sort of spell. He blasts me with demonic energy causing my stomach to painfully react. Soon enough the process is done and I'm left on the floor panting.

Fuck that hurt.

Ultimate Sin of Gluttony(devour) 1/5 ( Can devour 3 bodies before Hunger reaches previous intensity)

Damn. This is was at least worth it.

"Well thanks for the power up Lucifer. It'll be a while until I see you again. The others are after all not so obvious with their locations. Be seeing you. I call out while opening a portal back to my apartment in New york.

Home sweet home!

Going to the kitchen I plop the devourers body on the table. Time to dig in then.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Please select a new class

Primary classes:

Warrior, rogue, Sorcerer (Thaumaturgy)

Hmm. I'm guessing a sub class is the way to go as my combat skills are pretty much covered right now. SYSTEM what cant Engineer do?

Engineer class. Grants 2 INT per Level. Triples experience gain of all technological skills.

This could really help out with not just hacking, but also anything related to my Work for AIM.

Yes, this will do nicely.

Engineer it is.

Sub class = Engineer Lv 17

This was a really great trip. But for now i'm gonna get some rest. After that i'm gonna start my work in moulding AIM into the next Tech giant.

The sudden ringing from my phone breaks me out of my thoughts. Taking the device out of my pocket, I see an unknown number appear. The Aurors perhaps? Pressing the button I answer :" Yes hello?"

"Miss Dark, we have another Job for you. Please know that this is of great importance and we cannot have you decline. I'm sure you understand. The details of the job will arrive in your mail today." The voice James Wesley states, shortly followed by him hanging up.

That BASTARD. If he thinks he can just boss me around and even threaten, ME THEN HE HAS ANOTHER THING COMING! I guess Aim will have to wait for now. I have someone to kill!

Looking up my old Quest, I start plotting.

Kill James Wesley for for underestimating and threatening you.

Bonus objective: make it look like an accident or suicide

Rewards: 9000 XP , 2 gacha tokens

Bonus rewards : 1 Assassin catalyst

Looks like he's dying earlier than expected. Well, he has no one to blame for that but himself.

Author's note: Sorry , this story arc is taking a bit longer than expected. I'm finishing up loose ends in new York in the next chapter. After that we will probably have our first time skip. Probably.
