Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 490 Change your Fucking DESTINY

“Is it not a Shame?… Even dogs will bite for their freedom!”

Those words of Lenny’s reverberated in Victor’s heart.

It was like his head was the wall that was made to echo Lenny’s voice.

He couldn’t help but pause in his struggle, and then the memory of when he was captured washed through his mind.

Now that he thought about it, was he truly worthy of saving?

All he had done was scream for help, just like he had always done.

After all, for most of his life, there has always been somebody protecting him.

There has always been somebody that was willing to give their life for his, and over a long period of time of enjoying this privilege, it had finally gotten to his head, and now all he could do was cry for help.

Whether it was his mother, Elder Isiah, Moses, or all the others, someone would always protect him.

He remembered one time, a very long time ago, when he had seen his father before a group of Ironback Werewolves. They had visited and were causing trouble within the city of milk and honey.

As a one-man army, he took out thirty of them, proving that he was not just alpha by having a quick mind but also physical prowess.

Back then, he had come back home, thinking about it all day. Even that night, he could not sleep as the images of his father ripping the Ironback Werewolves to pieces flooded his mind.

That was the kind of man that he wanted to be. He wanted strength to be able to protect this city that he loved so much.

However, he could not help but remember Lenny’s words when Lenny had thrown him to the mutated beasts of the wastelands.

And then he suddenly came to the realization that it had actually bugged him.

“Do I deserve to become Alpha?”

Victor thought back to Curtin, his half-brother.

He did not like Curtin very much, but even he had to admit that Curtin was indeed an incredible fellow.

He had a mind, unlike most people.

Victor had seen him bring down all the others who had a decent chance of becoming Alpha of the Pack, and he had to admit that Curtin had what it took to be a leader.

It was not that Curtin did not have his terrible parts, but his ability to be able to twist events in his favor was an incredible ability that Victor had to admit was necessary for any leader to possess.

Even his own father, by one method or another, killed off his own competition for him to become Alpha.

Compared to that, Victor realized that he had only been lucky until this point.

He was already fifteen, and he had not wolfed out.

According to natural selection, he was supposed to have been weeded out a long time ago. And he was most sure that if Curtin became Alpha, then he would be the first person that his half-brother would kill.

With these thoughts so far, he could not help but use the one eye that had not been sewn up to look about him.

All of a sudden, he did not see the people sewn to the walls as just disgusting things anymore.

Rather, he saw them in a different light. After all, most, if not all, of the people here had actually struggled to live.

Many had fought with a blade and mauled themselves with their teeth just to be free, but fate was cruel to them, and they now hung on the walls as they did.

He knew this from the storm of memories that they sent his way.

Compared to the sacrifices that they made, he could truly see that he was not deserving of freedom.

At this moment, Lenny could see that Victor had stopped struggling and crying out for help.

And then drops of tears ran down his one eye that had not been sewn shut, all the way down his cheeks, mixing with the blood that flowed from the punctured holes on his face from the old woman’s needles.

Lenny squinted his eyes. It looked as if they were smiling, even though his lips were not. .𝒄𝒐𝒎

Lenny knew what was happening. He could tell that Victor had now come to terms with his uselessness.

It was time for the next phase of the plan, and that was simple. After all, the only place that a person who was at the lowest point of his life could go was up.

All he needed was a little push.

“Victor… ” Lenny called out, “Victor…” There was still no response. Lenny used his ability of Influencer again, “VICTOR!”

This time around, the boy’s pupil moved, staring intently at Lenny.

“Trust me, I know more than you how useless you are.

But I want you to listen to my words carefully. Even shit can be used to grow a mighty tree. One is only useless if one chooses to be. Roses have thorns, and even the mighty birds have predators.

Life is shitty. Yes, it sucks. But it only sucks if you take it as you see it. If you don’t want it to suck, if you don’t want to be left behind, or better yet, if you want to climb to the top and earn the title of Alpha, then break through the restraints that hold you, even at the cost of your life.

Fight, break, mend, break again, and then break some more. Break until you can break no further, but always mend back. And every time you mend back, become a stronger you.

Become a better you. ‘FATE’, fuck that! Take life by the balls and shape it as only you see fit.

Charge through your restraints and show the world that you deserve much more. And if they say otherwise, fuck them all.

VICTOR, Change your fucking DESTINY. After all, that right is in your hands. It is all in your hands…

(Author’s note: Remember, guys, your fate is all in your hands…)
