“Nothing is known about me in the world, right? In order to strengthen each other’s trust, we need a gift like this.”

Orifiel’s expression brightened at my words.

In order to determine superiority or inferiority in a transaction, it is best to hide one’s true feelings.

However, the Eye of Amon is not another object, but the true blood of the legend.

These were the special eyes of a werewolf called Jinhyeol of Jinhyeol.

As such, it is an object that can become the focal point of the sub-race just by its existence.

“The Eye of Amon! If we really have the eyes of this holy Jinhyeol, the future will be clear…”

So Oriphiel, uncharacteristically, continued to show joy.

Not only because of its symbolism, but also as if I had personally experienced its power.

The eyes themselves contain the power of true blood.

Except that it contains a huge concentration of magical energy that the average awakened person cannot handle.

It was a special item whose rating alone exceeded the Unique+ rating.

‘If you’re a shaman of Oriphyel’s level, that magic won’t be a problem.’

Before I knew it, Oriphiel was holding both of my hands tightly and shaking them wildly.

“So, Unknown, do you want to officially join our Crimson Teeth? If it were you, I would of course give you permission… No, since you are an unknown name, I would of course give you an executive position!”

The answer was more satisfying than expected.

For me, it was enough for him to simply take this item.

He didn’t know that the Eye of Amon was a trap.

‘Rather, this eye of Amon will become Orifiel’s shackles.’

Orifiel didn’t know anything about me.

If only I had seen Amon’s eye taken like this and still be safe.

I do know that I am somewhat resistant to demonic power and magic.

‘At best, I’m probably thinking of him as a contract of the devil.’

But that fact was clearly a misunderstanding.

Now I am not a contract of the devil, but a devil in the purest sense of the word.

‘Demonization was not a metaphor.’

The source of my demonic power is Song Si-ah and Ha Ye-eun.

In the original work, they are top-tier characters and human rights characters.

The special quests Demonization and Corruption of the Holy Grail were created as a result of those two people’s obsession with me.

Because of that, I went beyond the position of a simple contractor.

A newborn demon named Unknown.

I briefly checked my profile.

* Spirit: 100 (+50)

================================​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

All basic stats are now close to the top 1st grade level.

The average main stat exceeds 80.

Considering that the Aegis members’ main stats were around 80 at the time of entering Theia.

‘Now the progress is so great that even I can’t believe it.’

A level of progress that would never be possible with just a contract with the devil.

It was clear evidence that my body itself had surpassed that of a human being.

Although his main stats are slightly lower than Yoon Geon-woo’s 100s.

What’s important is that I am the silent eye of the great evil Amon.

Through that fraud power, I can perfectly read his mana flow.

When that power is activated, my physical stats can also see the effect of exceeding 100.

‘Now I’m getting closer to the plan I had in mind.’

Becoming a true powerhouse in the academy.

This means that the revenge of taking the spotlight that belongs to the main character, An Yu-min, is just around the corner.

This quarterfinal is against Aegis.

Anyway, when I didn’t reply for a moment because I was lost in that thought, Orifiel’s eyes became anxious.

“If you are worried about what happened with Horror Hall, there is no need to worry at all. That crazy guy had a lot of enemies even within Crimson Teeth.”

Oriphiel kept looking at me, worrying about things I didn’t even care about.

‘It looks like the effect has already been activated.’

Orifiel, the highest-ranking villain whose title “unknown” does not apply.

But I could tell just by the fact that he had already become low-key towards me.

He and I will both use the power of the great evil known as Amon.

He is just a human being and a contract of the devil.

However, I am a person who was reborn as a devil through the power and authority of Amon.

In other words, they are both direct descendants of Amon and their rank is firmly established.

‘No matter how good the contractor is, a contractor is just a contractor.’

So, of course, Orifiel will not be able to go against my will in the future.

I, I, have made the Eye of Amon my own.

I pretended to think about Orifiel’s recommendation, and eventually accepted his offer to join.

And next month, with the semifinals just around the corner.

Song Sia found me through DM.

***

Academy Cadet Competition.

The festival-like competition was also coming to an end.

Second game of the semifinals.

Tomorrow is Aegis and Lee Jun-woo’s Ignition.

There was a semifinal match between those two teams.

Song Xia received a call from her father this morning.

Even during the war period, training and lectures for cadets are carried out.

The exception is semifinalists.

And Aigis’ operator, Jeong Woon-kyung, told me to rest today to maintain my condition.

Song Xia had not yet gone to Theia and stayed at her mansion.

“Lady. The head of the family has ordered a visit now.”

And then a maid came into Song Si-ah’s room, which was larger than the house of a family of five.

Apostle of Valhalla.

A maid from the secretarial team.

In reality, she is an excellent maid who handles various tasks by Song Xia’s side.

It’s like a surveillance station that her father assigned to her.

The relationship between the two was always cold.

However, now the maid’s expression was more docile than usual.

“It seems that the head of the family has high expectations for the recent young lady. I couldn’t be happier that my only daughter’s team, whom I cherish so much, advanced to the semifinals of that big tournament.”

“Funny story. It would only be good to have an issue that could be used to control the media.”

“Hehe. You think of the head of the family as a cold person. Of course, he is a cool-headed person, but he still has a lot of affection for his daughter.”

It was absurd.

If it really was like that.

He would not have let himself be treated as an illegitimate child among the relatives of the Song family.

And they wouldn’t have been forced to undergo such harsh and terrible training from a young age that they could barely survive by shutting down their emotions.

Also, more than anything, Song Xia would not have left her mother, the only person she loved, to die like ashes.

The reason Song Yu-hwan is interested in her is not because she is Song Yu-hwan’s biological daughter.

Jinhyeol’s blood comes from his mother.

This is because Song Xia inherited the blood of a vampire, which is closer to the source than any other sub-race.

‘My father’s very existence is disgusting.’

My hatred for my father has not changed since I was young or even now.

However, deep inside the situation, there is also a terrible fear of Song Yu-hwan.

So, of all the things in the world, Song Xia hated spending time with her father the most.

I feel the same way today.

But I was able to survive today.

[Song Sia: I miss you so much. I really want to meet you today. Can you see me in the evening?]

Today is the day before Lee Jun-woo’s semifinal match with Ignition.

So the two opponents in that game should not meet.

I couldn’t bear it at all.

I wanted to see him every day.

I wanted to tell you that I love you and ask you to love me.

Lee Jun-woo has become stronger now.

For some reason, even though I woke up Jinhyeol’s blood and sucked blood, the charm doesn’t seem to work very well.

‘Okay… then you just have to suck more blood. And if Lee Jun-woo wants… he can at least share my Jinhyeol power.’

If I can win Lee Jun-woo’s heart like that, I can do anything.

Fortunately, Lee Jun-woo did not reject her promise today.

‘If Lee Jun-woo wants to get to the finals… he can lose.’

As I thought about Lee Jun-woo endlessly, I was able to forget about the current unpleasant interview.

A mansion bigger than the city hall of a metropolitan city.

After walking through the hallways and floors for a while, I arrived in front of the head of the house’s room.

“Matriarch. Lady Sia has arrived.”

After a while.

A voice came from beyond the huge door.

“Sia is here. Come in quickly.”

The maid was momentarily surprised by that voice.

At first glance, Song Yu-hwan appears to be a kind-hearted, yet gentle middle-aged man.

Although he has the impression of a teacher who would be liked by anyone.

In reality, he is so strong that ordinary people find it difficult to even utter a single word.

It was not for nothing that he was mentioned as the greatest person of this era.

The one who is called heaven even among master heroes.

The maid probably knows that it is never easy to hear Song Yu-hwan’s kind voice.

‘It’s just a pretense anyway.’

Song Xia snorted inwardly.

When she entered the matriarch’s room, Song Yu-hwan greeted her with a smile.

“Really congratulations, Siaya. You’re in the semifinals of the competition, no one in the guild will be able to ignore you from now on.”

Song Yu-hwan was so happy that anyone could be fooled just by looking at that expression.

Even Song Xia unconsciously felt that Song Yu-hwan was a caring father.

‘no. I never trust my father.’

I was planning to finish my current position quickly.

And I had to call the most famous makeup artist in Seoul to do my makeup.

The thought of meeting Lee Jun-woo was all that filled my mind.

“…… So, it’s Sia. There is something I want to ask you.”

“Yes…?”

So even Song Yu-hwan’s words were heard in one ear and passed out in the other.

Song Yu-hwan smiled at her and said.

“Yes, your opponent in the semifinals. A cadet named Lee Jun-woo. Can you tell me what kind of cadet you are?”

Song Xia’s heart sank at those words.
