Warlock of War: My Ares System

[You have unlocked the Rune Path: Blossoms of Rage]

But, just as I was about to touch the rune on the back of my neck, it throbbed like a beating heart seeing their first love for the very first time.

It hurt, but it had a reason to, and when I leaned against the sink to catch my breath, the ring on my finger returned, and I swear I saw it smile.

I swear the little rose-like indents creased into a tiny smile that almost urged me to touch it, feel it, or possibly caress it.

"Slick bastard… what do you want?" I asked as a deadly presence appeared behind me, a pair of hands slowly creeping up my chest and then slowly caressing my bare neck.

"Your body. What else,"

It was a question, but it wasn't at the same time, causing me to sweat large bullets of water that moistened the collar of my shirt.

"Well, it seems you don't know who owns this body," I smirked before looking into the mirror and seeing a beautiful man with long black hair, sharp black eyes, and a decently muscular body.

He had two massive demonic horns spiraling above him, and his leathery wings weren't in action, so they were folded behind him.

But the thing that made me very weary of him was the chain and two rings connected to his left hand that emitted what seemed to be his true power.

"Well, it seems you have no clue who I am,"

"I do… Satan. Satan the Demon King of Wrath. You're the only one who made sense for the King of Sloth to warn me,"

Satan's light grin warped into a malicious smile, and it seemed hungry, as if he was ready to devour my body whole.

"Gotta warn me before you start chomping down on me!" I shouted and then attempted to elbow the demon king in the face… though it was, of course, caught with a new hand sprouting from his face.

"Your soul looks quite delicious, but your potential looks even more delicious,"

Another drop of sweat rolled down my face and into my eye, stinging it, but I barely even closed my eyes.

I knew that if I closed my eyes now, everything would fall apart, and this damn demon king would take control of my body or even soul.

"Huff… huff… huff…."

"Do my hands feel that good on your body?" The demon king smirked.

"Nah… it's just ur hand keeps tightening around my neck. If you're going to kill me, how about you do it now," I smirked right back at him, and it seemed it wasn't wise to provoke him as his fingers dug into my windpipe, blocking off all air.

I tried to struggle against him, but it was like struggling to push a brick wall, no matter which limb I tried to move.

"Kuh… huh… huh…."

I continued to gasp for air, but the demon king mercilessly brought me to my knees until my consciousness fell apart… and I felt something foreign slip into my chest.

…

(Luna POV)

"Hey~! It's time for dinner, asshole!" I called out to Orion, but there was no answer, so I gave him some time… exactly thirty seconds, and he still didn't answer.

Tch

I clicked my tongue before kicking down his door and storming the place, only to find Orion in some loungewear that was totally soaked with water.

"You good?" I asked as I crouched down to his level, but just as I saw his blacked-out eyes, I instinctively jumped back, allowing me to dodge a swift attack.

His hand was in the shape of a claw, and it seemed like he tried to tear my throat apart with that one attack.

"Come on, man, you can't be taken over by a demon just like that…." I smiled, but deep down, I was shaking from fear.

The thing inside Orion… pause… the thing inhabiting Orion's body was so much stronger than the one that inhabited Bella's body… it was way too strong… way too fucking strong.

"W-What are you?" I asked, and as Orion's body was lifted up seemingly by puppet strings, his head snapped forward, and his blacked-out eyes stared at me eerily.

A chill was shot down my spine, and large beads of cold sweat rolled down my face, leaving me stuck there.

I couldn't move. I couldn't move. I can't move. Moving was impossible… I was scared. So scared that I felt like I was going to die. I cried out for somebody to help within my mind. I was weak. Too weak. Too damn weak.

"*yawn*... Then do you want power?" A voice suddenly called out to me upon the entire room freezing.

Time had stopped. No the entire world had stopped under the command of this floating demon in front of me.

He had short, dreamy, and almost ethereal blue hair and drowsy baby blue eyes, but at the top of his head were two demonic black horns that curled to the side of his head like goat horns.

Finally, he had a pair of black wings folded behind him despite his body constantly rolling in the air like a tumbleweed being blown by the wind.

"Who… Who are you?" I repeated the same question but now for the young man in front of me.

"*sigh*... Nobody… *yawn*... Special. Just your every other day, napper… you know… the usual," He responded unenthusiastically.

"Are you… a demon king as well? Just like the one that had taken over Bella's body?"

"Ding ding ding… Zero points cause you're human, but you gained some of my respect… I guess… Anyway, I tried to warn him, but it seems Satan is too powerful… welp. If you want to be the babysitter for all of these new vessels, accept my power. Form a runic contact with me…"

The young man who was about at my neck level stepped dreamily in front of me before looking into my eyes.

He reached out his hand, which glowed with an eerie and demonic dark red light.

"Nah… I'm good,"
