I have a question I’d like to ask. Do you think I am able to reflect Dante’s emotions to the reader? If I am not able to do so, how can I do it better?

Don't forget to like and comment so I can write more enthusiastically.

Something unexpected happened… I opened my eyes again.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the cave ceiling full of sharp stones. Although the stones seemed as if they were about to fall, they did not. Perhaps their roots were strong, or maybe the mana in the environment had made them harder.

Moreover, I could feel that all the wounds on my body had healed.

“Damn it,” I whispered and touched my closed left eye.

Although the deep sword wound on it had healed, it had left a large scar behind.

But I was sure of one thing. My left eye was definitely not blind. Actually, I don’t know how to explain it. I’m just sure that my eye is not blind. It’s like an instinct.

I got up with the support of my arms and looked around.

“What the hell happened here!”

In front of me was the corpse of a goblin warrior. The blood from this corpse had been drained, and there was no sign of its head.

Did someone enter the dungeon?

I dismissed this thought as soon as it came to mind. If someone had entered the dungeon, they would have taken me and the corpses here. I don’t know who killed this goblin warrior, but it might have something to do with the system window I saw before I fainted.

Thinking this, I murmured “system…”

As soon as I did this, the system notifications that had come while I was unconscious appeared before me.

[Your body is being altered by an external force…]

[System is intervening…]

[System intervention failed!!]

The system windows that opened before my eyes surprised me. I kept my composure and read these system windows carefully…

For the first time in my life… I couldn’t believe what I was seeing with my own eyes.

My body had changed. Even if I hadn’t noticed, I had become stronger and was no longer a human…

I had become a demon, a race feared in history books and the magical world. More precisely, I was a half-demon.

According to what was taught at the magic academy, demons were the physical embodiment of pure evil and the rulers of fire.

This was terrifying… in the eyes of others.

“This is incredible…” I whispered, looking at the statistics window in front of me.

“Finally… finally, I can become stronger!” I said, looking at [Ego: SSS++].

As far as I understood, this statistic served the same function as willpower.

Potential… Infinite potential.

The highest statistic seen in the world was [S]. It was not known if there was a level above it, or it was not told to those of lower rank.

I don’t know if it’s because of my potential, but I could see the mana particles flying in the air with the naked eye.

This was incredible… my dreams… my ambitions would become reality.

Just thinking about it made my heart beat fast and made me clench my fists.

“I must stay calm… This is more serious than I thought. First, let me examine my new abilities,” I said and calmed myself down before looking at the description of my first ability.

[Bloodless Body(%1)]: Your body has been altered by an unknown entity, and you have turned into a being that should not exist.

*Effect: There is nothing inside your body that pertains to life. Only and only infinite darkness exists. Your blood does not flow, and you do not feel pain.

“This will definitely cause me trouble…”

Not feeling pain was not too much of a problem. The real issue was that my blood did not flow. People who saw this would certainly be suspicious and worried. After all, every human’s blood flows, even those at level [S].

“At the same time, it could be quite useful with a healing ability…”

In a battle, the biggest obstacle in front of you is not your opponent… it’s the pain you suffer. As the pain increases, willpower weakens. When this happens, the body cannot show its full potential. But a body that does not feel pain… can show all its potential. When a healing ability is added on top of that… a body that dominates battles emerges.

After thinking about this, I immediately moved on to my other ability.

[Blood Harvest(%1)]: The most basic ability of demons is, of course, to kill others.

*Effect: When this ability is used, it strengthens your physique by absorbing the blood of the corpse you are touching.

*Note: Since there is no blood in your body, the ability will make you even stronger.

This ability was quite good and a bit savage. But I didn’t care. What I had lived through until now was a nightmare. Now I can become stronger, and it doesn’t matter how I do it.

Also, when this ability combines with my potential, I will grow incredibly fast.

After reading the description of this ability, I turned my head and looked at the corpses of the dead group.

The levels of this group varied between [E] and [E+]. This made them as powerful as my current state, even more powerful. If I absorb their blood, I will definitely become even stronger.

As for respecting the corpses of people… I didn’t care.

“The corpses aren’t going anywhere. First, I’ll look at my abilities,” I said and looked at the description of my next ability.

[Hybrid Body]: An ability formed thanks to your existence. This ability has no mastery; as you evolve, the ability also strengthens.

*Effect: Supernatural regeneration.

After reading this ability, something crossed my mind.

“What does it mean that I will become stronger as I evolve? Can I evolve?” I said in astonishment.

If this is possible, I can become even stronger! No matter what happens, it doesn’t matter what I turn into. Besides, I don’t need to think about it right now.

“The healing this ability provides will match very well with my [Bloodless Body] ability,” I said and moved on to the next ability.

[Eye of Despair(%1)]: A boon from the deepest layer of hell, it healed your blind eye and turned it into a weapon that all beings will fear.

*Effect: Beings that make eye contact with you, if their willpower (Ego) is lower than yours, will be stunned. Using this ability for a long time consumes a lot of durability.

“What?!”

That was the only response I could give after reading the description of this ability.

A weapon feared by all beings…

The deepest layer of hell…

These were words that I couldn’t understand the meaning of for now. I don’t like things I don’t know spinning around me. But I will learn them over time.

Maybe I’m just comforting myself.

“The willpower mentioned in this ability is probably my [Ego] statistic,” I whispered.

“I don’t think there are people in the world, even in the tower, who have a higher willpower statistic than me. If there are, they must be very few,” I added.

If the situation is as I suspect, this ability will work on everyone I make eye contact with, regardless of level.

I raised my left hand and placed it over my left eye. Just as I knew I wasn’t blind, I knew it would hurt if I opened my eye. Actually, this is quite absurd. According to my ability, pain should only be a concept for me.

“It doesn’t hurt to try,” I said and lowered my left arm.

Then I opened my left eye.
