I Became the Demon King of Lust

When the ceremony was over, I was called to meet someone like I had expected.

When I entered the room, there were two people that were waiting there.

It was Asura and Elliot.

Asura was sitting down while Elliot was standing on the side, as if he was guarding the room.

Once the two of them saw me come in, Asura waved his hand at me with a smile on his face, as if he was calling me to sit down with him.

Elliot just stood there with an awkward look on his face, but the look that he gave me was as if he was asking me to go along with this.

So I just sat down in the seat in front of Asura and waited to see what he wanted.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After sitting down, Asura just looked at me with a smile on his face, as if he wasn't bothered at all by this situation. It was as if he didn't care about the awkward silence that lingered in the air at all.

I just gave a cough before saying, "Is there anything you want from me?"

Asura still didn't say anything as he calmly looked at me.

After a while, he finally said, "I'm sure that you have your questions about what happened earlier, so let's talk about it."

I was certainly surprised hearing how blunt he was with me, but it wasn't as if this was a bad thing. The more forward he was, the sooner that I would be able to leave this place.

There was no doubt that there were people watching, so I did want to leave as soon as possible.

Asura saw that I didn't say anything, so he said, "I know that we used you without your permission and that violates that contract that we've already established. However, you should know how dangerous the world is now that everything is changing."

He narrowed his eyes to look at me before continuing, "Unless something changes, it'll only be a matter of time before we are overrun by the monsters in the dungeons. Especially with the appearance of the demon king."

I slowly gave a nod in agreement, but then I asked, "You think that the demon king is real? There are a lot of people that believe that this is nothing more than a hoax."

Asura wasn't offended when he heard this and instead looked at me with a smile before saying, "There's no need for you to test me, I'm not one of those fools in power that can't recognize the changes around them. I know that this is not a hoax."

Then after a pause, he added, "Even if it was, it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to things like this, so you don't have to worry about it. I guarantee that this has my full attention."

There was a part of me that was worried when I heard this.

I was testing him, but it wasn't for the reason that he thought I was testing him for.

After all, I was part of the problem, not part of the solution.

I was on the opposite side, the side of the demon king.

The more seriously that he took this, the worse it was for me…

But I couldn't show that, so I had to force myself to maintain a calm look on my face when I faced Asura.

After taking a moment like I was letting this sink in, I said, "I understand, but that doesn't explain why you've asked me here. That is unless you are planning to include me in something else, then I have to remind you that we already have a contract."

Asura wasn't offended at all when he heard this and just revealed a smile like he found this interesting.

After looking at me for a bit, he said, "Of course not, we aren't planning on doing anything to you at all. We just invited you here to give you compensation since we were the ones that involved you without asking for your opinion."

This time, I was surprised.

After all, this was not what I had expected to hear.

I never would have expected them to compensate me on their own. I thought that I would have to get Elementia involved before receiving any form of compensation.

Asura gave a nod to Elliot and he came forward to where we were sitting.

He didn't sit down as he waved his hand over the table and a briefcase appeared.

After making the briefcase appear, he opened it up in front of me to reveal a black card and a crystal. Those were the only two things that were inside of this briefcase.

The black card was clearly a credit card, but it was one of those infamous cards that shouldn't have a limit.

The crystal was something that I didn't recognize at all and at the same time, I didn't dare use my demon king system's appraisal on it because of who was here with me.

So I just looked at it with a curious look as I waited for…

"It's an Evolution Crystal." Asura suddenly said when he saw the look on my face.

I just looked up at him with a confused look since I had no idea what this Evolution Crystal was.

Asura also figured that this was the case, so he continued by explaining, "This is an item that was discovered recently in one of the S Rank Dungeons. It's an item that allows an Awakener to upgrade their skill."

He didn't say any more than that, but that was already enough to shock me.

After all, it was common knowledge that one couldn't increase the level of the skill that they awakened, no matter what they did. It was the innate level that the skill could reach and it wouldn't surpass that, that was the rule that had been established.

But now it seemed that this rule had been broken with the introduction of this Evolution Crystal.

It was no wonder they believed that the world was changing.

There was no doubt that this item would change the entire world.
