' Inky, pinky pon key ' Max mumbled in his mind as his finger landed on the foot soldier option.
Max stared at the foot soldier option as he blinked his eyes twice and contemplated whether or not he should really choose the foot soldier class.
" No, fuck this shit, Ravan is not going to be a fucking foot soldier, His destiny is to be a king! A fucking vampire god! ". Max said in a maniacal tone as he disregarded the inky pinky result.
' Don't choose the blood shaman class Max, choose the primordial vampire warrior, I repeat don't choose blood shaman! '. Drax shouted inside Max's brain.
" I got it old man, stop yelling inside my brain. Don't choose the primordial vampire class, choose blood shaman ".
' NO, THAT'S EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT I SAID .... MAX LISTE- '
" System, I choose the class ' Blood Shaman ' ".

( Meanwhile Sebastian )
" Please let go of me, I'll do anything for you, just let me live my life, I-I trusted you, even treated you like my own grandfather, why are you doing this to me? ". Sebastian begged the demon inside him to let go of the control of his body.
Over the past few days the demon had progressively assured Sebastian to sometimes let go of the control of his body and switch places with Asmodeus so that the demon could teach him stuff/ help him achieve tasks that Sebastian was too green to do himself. However, the moment Sebastian dropped his guard, Asmodeus took over the control of the body, making Sebastian's soul a foreigner within his own body.
" Shhh, little boy, stop crying, I'm accumulating power to wash your soul today. Although it will be painful, from tomorrow onwards there will be no pain whatsoever as you will be a soul with all its memories being washed. Nothing but a vegetative power bank, running this godly body". Asmodeus said evilly as Sebastian squirmed in fear.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm" Why? Why are you doing this? Why me?". Sebastian questioned
" Isn't that answer simple, stupid boy?..... I'm doing it because I can". Asmodeus said as he began laughing.
" M-my father will kill you! One day, he will kill you ". Sebastian said with conviction, he had already came to terms with his fate but he wanted to plant a horror seed inside Asmodeus before he became a vegetative power bank.
" Yes, If he finds out what I did to you, he will. But he won't find out, because I'll be the best and most talented son he has ever seen, and right as he starts trusting me, I'll plot to kill him, sacrificing his stupid life to the lord Lucifer". Asmodeus replied, as he got prepared for the soul washing procedure.
" Any last words boy? " He asked, wanting to hear cry and beg for his life, however, Sebastian did not give him the satisfaction replying with all his pride intact
" Go to hell you fucking demon".
It was supposed to be an insult, however, Asmodeus only laughed as he said " Yes, that's my home afterall..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ".
He then started the procedure, torturing Sebastian's very soul, wiping off all his memories.
It was an unfortunate day for the universe, as a promising demi-god fell at the hands of a despicable demon.
