Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: By Your Side

In these 10 minutes, Lucifer would try to get used to his new Ability so that he would be confused later. Without delay, he immediately used By Your Side to summon his servant.

Lucifer was both excited and worried.

He was excited because he didn't know what his servant would be like and if his servant was actually strong or not. But Lucifer couldn't help but feel anxious if this servant was even weaker than Lucifer.

If that was true, then Lucifer would probably suffer a great loss.

From within his shadow, someone was slowly emerging, or rather, an entity.

Although this entity had a human form, Lucifer couldn't call him a human because his entire body was only black. He didn't have eyes, nose, or mouth.

On his face was only a giant question mark.

Lucifer was almost certain that he could use this Ability to scare the slum dwellers at night.

If this thing suddenly appeared in front of Lucifer, even he would faint.

While Lucifer was carefully assessing and judging his servant's appearance, his servant suddenly spoke up:

"What the hell are you looking at, you bastard? Are you looking down on me because my appearance is different from yours?"

Lucifer took a few steps back in surprise. He glanced around the convenience store to check where the voice came from. But at this moment, there was only him and his servant in the convenience store.

Lucifer gaped at his servant, still unable to believe that his servant had just spoken since he didn't have a mouth to speak.

Lucifer decided to ask again just to be sure:

"Did you just talk to me?"

"Of course you idiot, there are only me and you in this convenience store." The servant replied immediately.

Lucifer's question was answered, but now he had a bigger and more serious problem. That was his servant's personality.

This guy didn't even bother to treat Lucifer politely like a servant should, instead, he talked to him like he was talking to a friend or someone of lower status than him.

Lucifer frowned. He couldn't accept being treated like this by a servant. After all, he was the master of this servant.

"Hey, servant? You're my servant, why are you talking to me like this? Don't you know how to respect your master?"

Lucifer thought that the servant would change the way he spoke to Lucifer right after that. But he was completely wrong.

Not only did his servant not show any remorse, he even raised his middle finger towards Lucifer and said:

"I don't like that. You are my master, but what law says I have to treat you politely?"

At that moment, Lucifer thought that maybe this servant would betray him in the future.

'I really want to change my Ability…'

***

Putting aside that rude behavior, what Lucifer needed to care about right now was his servant's current ability. He wanted to know how strong his servant was.

"Hey, what can you do…"

While Lucifer was speaking, the servant suddenly touched his head, causing Lucifer to stop mid-sentence.

He was curious, not understanding what his servant was planning to do.

Lucifer received his answer right away. Just a few seconds after the servant touched his head, his appearance suddenly changed. He was no longer a creature with only black and a big question mark on his face, but now he had the form of a human.

And no matter how Lucifer looked at it, his servant looked exactly like him. From the muscles, the skinny body, the modest height, the eye color, … everything looked exactly like Lucifer, except his hair color was black while Lucifer's was white.

It was as if the two of them were twins.

Lucifer asked his servant tremblingly, still in shock about what had just happened before his eyes:

"You...What did you just do? Why do you look like me now?"

His servant shrugged nonchalantly and said:

"I just changed my form to fit in with the world? Why are you so surprised? Oh right, and I can't change my form again, so even if you wanted to, I wouldn't be able to change into another form."

Lucifer's mood immediately fell in disappointment. He had thought that he could use his servant's shape-shifting ability to do many things, but it turned out that wasn't the case.

"Then what can you do? Do you know how to use a sword? Or do you know how to fight? How about a gun? Do you know how to use any weapon?"

Lucifer had hoped that his servant could at least use a weapon, but that hope was dashed when he saw the servant shaking his head.

"Ah, but I can fight a little, but with this weak body, it's going to be quite difficult for me to fight. Why can't you have a stronger body?"

His servant spoke as if it was Lucifer's fault for not having a strong and muscular body when he was the one who had arbitrarily transformed into Lucifer's body without even asking for his opinion.

"You're the one who chose me to transform? Why don't you choose someone stronger to transform into, you idiot?"

In conclusion, in this Trial, Lucifer had received a Destiny and he could upgrade it to the highest level as well as receive an Ancient Name.

But in return, his first Ability was nothing more than trash, at least for the time being. His servant's personality was also like garbage, not knowing how to respect anyone.

At this moment, 10 minutes had passed and in front of Lucifer was a wooden door to leave the Trial and return to his rotten, dirty room.

But before he stepped through the door, Lucifer realized he didn't know the servant's name:

"Hey, do you have a name?"

The servant thought for a moment before answering:

"No, I forgot. But you can call me Nothing if you want."

Then, Nothing returned to Lucifer's shadow. At the same time, the boy also stepped through the door. He had returned safely to his world.
