After being curious about what's happening in the underworld and after thinking for a long time, I decided to go and check on the source of smoke.
Kind of hungry. More like starving.
"Am I okay? I keep talking to myself."
Wait, there's a man he's tatted too. But I said to myself I shouldn't trust a stranger. You know what I don't care.
"Hello, what kind of prison did you crawl out from!?"
I'm glad that I didn't ink myself, cause it looked like even in hell he was inked.
"eefksvk kuj?in xmusk? ju q?wxzc !!??"
"Eh!? What language is that?"
Aegerian is a language belonging to the race of an Aefer, people who live by inking themselves with the divine ink.
"Who the hell?"
Shhh! Whisper while you're talking.
I'm Cheon Dal. I'm beside your soul.
So you're the one who keeps talking to me, I thought it was my subconscious rallying against me, as I'm so hungry.
...
Weird, he's not talking to me if I talk inside my head, but he talks inside my head. Well, if that's the case, should I just try talking while whispering to see if he can just hear me while talking using my mouth?
"So you're the one who keeps talking to me. I really thought that I had mental illness for a second there."
I can talk inside your head, read your expression, and send words in a language you understand. Also, it is you who keeps talking to yourself.
...
I hid you just now using my external technique: Divine cloaking of the hidden dagger.
"The thing you called technique is a martial art." Whispered.
Yes, that is a martial art I just used to hide you.
"Also, you're the owner of this body?" Whispered.
No, but you transmigrated to my descendant's dead body; this body should have died because of the curse. Also, this world is no hell.
"This isn't hell?"
Of course, there's no hell; hell is a state of mind, as heaven too is a state of mind.
I'll help you become stronger and translate any language that comes your way.
I'll help you fight, but you control the body. In this sense, I'll guide your little soul.
"May I know the reason for helping me?" Whispered.
My soul reached the threshold, I'll vanish. 10 years, you must become the strongest to avenge this body.
"Hold on, you're helping just to become the strongest in the world of Manaqind." Whispered.
Feel free to possess it.
Cheon, the noble name of the Heavenly demon king, I keep hearing this name and seeing this over some light novel or manhwa.
"Hold on, you said earlier that your name is Cheon Dal. Are you a demon king?" whisper.
I'm kind of happy you noticed the noble lineage name of Cheonma.
But no, I'm no demon king, I'm an orphaned scholar of the 10th heavenly demon king and became noble by name and produced descendants to compete in the demon king selection.
So even the Heavenly demon king bothered to adopt you because of you're talent.
...?
That confirms it, so he can't hear my consciousness.
Too bad I'm not here to make you sit. I'm here to make the strongest that ascends to the unreachable plane, the 13th plane.
"You're kind, mister venerable soul." whispered.
Cheon dal laughs.
You know how to please this old man, Little soul. Remember, I'm no venerable, just a dying old man stuck to you. Goodbye, I'll be unconsciously helping and guiding in a form of familiarized text.
"Wait, how do I get back home?"
You'll find it out soon enough.
"I see a UI System to translate." whisper.
[keyword activated][Demonic Scholar Guide System activated][Transmigrator System activated]
"What's this?"
A screen popped again, the screen that appeared at Lee's phone, the abnormal thing that happened along with our transportation.
A cheat. A system, but I think this is the one that transported me.
"I should have asked Scholar Cheonma about my other friends." Whispered
Is that food I smell? After looking down, I saw an Aefer pulling a cart surrounded by a look of a soldier.
"zxvcbn uitb e w-[Translating through the DSGS] = "Whose that? Chief, I think I heard someone speaking in another tongue!"
"They can speak to each other."
I thought they just make noises.
[Demonic Scholar Guide System Activated]
A mirage of a footstep appeared and the footstep flickered like a Morse code.
..-. --- .-.. .-.. --- .--
F~O~L~L~O~W I followed as my instinct tells me that this is because Cheon Dal system is activated.
[Translation] "THE SIMURGH HAS BEEN FOUND."
The Aefers ran and left the cart one by one.
Simurgh the crazy ass tall bird? They are sure panicking.
"You there, we're leaving it all up to you so guard our cart," hurriedly said an Aefer.
As I sneaked, following the footsteps, it flickered again like a Morse code.
- .... .-. --- .--
T~H~R~O~W by this situation, I should throw a rock to distract.
"I got it, Scholar Cheon, but where?" Whispered.
A line shimmered and flowed at the neck of the Aefer.
"Master, I can't aim well if this is what I'm throwing." Whispered
The light changed direction and became a foot to the tree and flickered there, saying throw again.
"Understood." Whispered.
I then postured myself, then saw a flow of light. the flowline followed where the eventual destination of what I'm throwing.
"What's that?" Confusedly said the Guard.
"Whoa, I can see where the rock goes." Whispered.
This is op!
Then the mirage of footsteps appeared again and gestured that I should go there and plunder the weird-looking fruits.
"I Understood, Master Cheon." Whispered.
I then plundered the fruit, and then the [Transmigrator System] appeared.
[Store Item] [Confirm?]
What a great Idea, and then I stole all the items that it was carrying.
[Stored Taec fruit X76, Cursed branch X1, and Bik Meat X3]
I see them gotta go escape.
After the escape of Sin
"The hell, this meat called Bik is so Fishy and Tough, and what's this a cursed branch? At least the fruit was good."
[Demonic Scholar Guide System Mas.lvl.1]
[Bik = An animal similarly to the earth animal called crocodile, as I do not have similarity as it can only swim in the water as it doesn't have feet to go into the surface, guardians of the spirit world and psychopomps who lead the spirits of the dead.
I never said anything but Mister Cheon Dal helped me. So this is a crocodile meat, where can I cook it and eat it?
"Unc-I mean Mister Cheon Dal-"
[Bik meat = A delicious food enjoyed by wealthy or powerful family. Can only be cooked by hellfire.}
So I can't eat it.
"Mister, where are they taking this cart?"
[Aeger = The home of the Aefer and the ruling of evolve race Aegere.]
So this is what it's called.
