Destroying My Own Novel

[ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CHANGE ZHERLTHSH’S [Race] FROM [Archdemon] TO [Human]?]

[YES] [NO]

Mykel tapped the [Yes] button, and then he looked at Zherlthsh. She looked the same as if nothing had happened, but that was because she was already in her human form.

The first thing he checked was the [Awakener List] in the command. He nervously typed Zherlthsh’s name, and he was right about it. He could see her name on the list, and so he checked her status.

[NAME: Zherlthsh]

[LEVEL: 100]

[AFFINITY: DEVILISH]

[BENEFACTOR(S): NONE]

[ARCANA COIN: 0]

[SKILL(S): CHARM, REGENERATION, UNMATCHED, PYROKINESIS, DAMAGE MULTIPLIER, FIRE IMMUNITY, WIND IMMUNITY, INVISIBILITY, EARTH IMMUNITY, WATER IMMUNITY, BODY MANIPULATION, WEATHER MANIPULATION, FEAR, MAGIC, SPATIAL, MIND CONTROL, TELEPORTATION…]

Zherlthsh’s [Archdemon] and [True Form] skills disappeared, and he expected that as well. Those were exclusive skills that only Archdemons could have. The [Archdemon] skill would be equal to [Godly Physical] Level 1 with [All Status Resistance] Level 10. [True Form] was similar to [Inner Power] for Awakeners which gave them a boost in their basic skills.

“How do you feel?” Mykel asked.

“I feel normal but weaker,” Zherlthsh answered as she clenched her fists and stared at them.

“It’s normal since some of your skills are exclusive to being an Archdemon, and now they disappeared. Anyway, try to say status. You can say it out loud or in your mind. You will see a screen in front of you,” Mykel said as he leaned against the railing.

Zherlthsh was surprised when she saw a floating screen in front of her. It was the first time for her to see the system since only Lucifer could use the system.

“So, this is what you guys have been seeing,” Zherlthsh said as she stared at her status screen. Suddenly she got a notification in front of her. “God Mykel Alester is offering you to be his Recipient,” Zherlthsh scoffed as she read the notification out loud.

“There are so many things that I need to teach you, but first, I need a drink and we can talk about this in the pub,” Mykel said, and then warped to the pub with Zherlthsh.

“Eh? Boss? Boss!” Gunnar’s voice was heard from the corner of the pub.

Mykel turned his head and saw Agnez and the others were gathering there. The table was filled with dozens of empty bottles, and they all looked a bit tipsy already. Mykel then approached them with Zherlthsh and sat down by dragging a chair from another table.

“Why Rozan looks bummed?” Mykel asked.

“He’s disappointed that he couldn’t find the truth about what happened to Eil World, and what kind of demons we were dealing with,” Jeanne answered as she looked at Zherlthsh and felt something off about her.

“I see. Do you want the magic book, Rozan?” Mykel asked as he nodded up.

“Huh? Do you have it?” Rozan asked with a surprised expression.

“No, but it’s still there in Eil World. I will give you the location, and you will figure out what happened there,” Mykel answered. “It’s better if you don’t try to use the book because Bartoth will come back to live again,” Mykel continued.

“Really?! I want to see it now, give me the location!” Rozan said as he stood up in excitement.

“Sit down, there’s something I want to say since you’re all here,” Mykel said as he poured the vodka into the shot glass.

“Is it about my sister becoming a human? What did you do to her?” Mazikeen’s voice was coming out of Agnez’s mouth.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they stared at Agnez, and then they averted their gazes toward Zherlthsh.

“That’s none of your business. It’s a secret between her and me, and no, it’s not about that,” Mykel answered, and then took a shot. “I will give you all a vacation for an indefinite time, but I will decide where you all will be taking your vacation,” Mykel said as he put the glass on the table.

“Are we getting disbanded?” Jeanne asked anxiously.

“No, it’s quite the opposite. I want you all to get stronger,” Mykel answered as he shook his head. “If you have any plans, do it now because I will send all of you to different places. Except for Rozan and Nagy since you both already have a place to train,” Mykel poured the vodka in the glass.

“You look more a bit at ease now, Mykel. Does that mean it went according to your expectation?” Jeanne asked.

“Yes, and now I can join you guys in clearing the towers without having to watch from the back,” Mykel answered. “Although, there’s something important that I have to do other than taking care of the towers,” Mykel continued as he stared blankly at the table.

“Anyway, enjoy your time, I still have business with Zherlthsh. I will pick you up tomorrow early in the morning,” Mykel said as he stood up, but everyone looked a bit bummed and uninterested. “Don’t worry, you all going to enjoy your vacation, trust me,” Mykel smiled mischievously.

Everyone shared a look with their eyebrows raised. Mykel then went to the counter with Zherlthsh.

Mazikeen was still taking over Agnez’s body, and she tried to eavesdrop on the conversation they had. Unfortunately, Mykel spoke telepathically to Zherlthsh so nobody could hear their conversations.

“So, Zherlthsh is a human now? Did you try to look into her memories?” Rozan looked at Lillith.

“No, I can’t. I think she has a skill that can stop me from doing so,” Lillith shook her head as she held a beer pitcher. “I wonder why he made her a human though,”

“It’s Mykel, you won’t know unless he told you,” Agnez replied as she rested her head on the table.

“Maybe he turned her into a human so she can become an Awakener and become his Recipient?” Gunnar asked as he chewed the fries.

Everyone went quiet, and it made Gunnar realize something was wrong with what he just said.

“What? Why are you guys looking at me like that?” Gunnar asked with his hand full of fries.

“Holy shit, dude, you really still have a brain in your head?!” Rozan asked with a shocked expression. “You’re right! That might be the case, and there’s no reason she wants to become a human unless it would benefit her!” Rozan said as he looked at everyone.

“Isn’t that a bit broken? Having an Archdemon with powerful skills and turn her into a human so she could also have the power of the Awakeners?” Vincze asked as he ate peanuts on the bowel with his arms crossed on the table.

“Might as well turn her into a God,” Sven scoffed as he shook his head. “Now that he has someone that’s so powerful like her, I don’t think we are needed here,” Sven mumbled to himself.

“He showed favoritism toward us, and so far, the only people who have been getting stronger are just a few of us here,” Sven said as he looked at Jeanne, Agnez, and Rozan.

“So? What are you going to do? Leave? Join the Fraternity? Go ahead, you will regret it more. Talking as if you’re the weakest Awakener in this pub. Open your eyes, people are struggling to survive in the tower. These people you see right now in this pub, they barely even cleared the fifth floor, and here you are whining like a bitch,” Lillith said and she looked so pissed for some reason. “Know your fucking place and shut the fuck up,” Lillith continued with a stern look.

Sven pursed his lips as he raised his hands. Gerrard patted Lillith’s shoulder to calm her down. The table became awkward, but everyone kept drinking since it was the only reason why there were in the pub in the first place.

“Body Enhancement and All Status Resistance? Why are you replacing my two skills with these? You know, I don’t think this is worth it,” Zherlthsh looked at Mykel with her eyebrows furrowed.

“It’s just a start,” Mykel answered telepathically as he smoked his cigarette. “I haven’t given you my skill,” Mykel continued as he blessed Zherlthsh with one of his exclusive skills.

“Limit Break? Wait, does that mean I can grow infinitely?” Zherlthsh tilted her head as she read the description of [Limit Break] skill.

“Yes, and now there will be no level limit on all of your skills. It took me a while to gain that skill,” Mykel answered as he drank his vodka.

Zherlthsh scoffed as she smirked. “Interesting,”
