This anomaly, has existed since the very beginning, but it became more apparent during the rise of mankind. It is called corruption. Those with weak minds found themselves completely consume by it. It made them strange, it made them crave for the impossible, never satisfy, their desire grew more. Soon even the entities found themselves infected by it. Giving in to their own desire. The Entities became a threat to the very planet they swore to protect. Realizing this, they left the planet, thinking it would mend the wounds they cause. They couldn’t been more wrong.
The corruption that drove the Entities mad, fed off them. It became stronger, it became sentient. Soon an epidemic broke out, people were completely consume by their on twisted desire. And in the midst of all this chaos was a creature, it had the ability to break people and make them give in to their inner demon. They ended up calling him, The Demon King.
Chapter 4
God of Corruption
“What the hell Aaron!” I put my book down for one minute, and he slobs all over it.
“Anna, watch your language.”
“He just freaking drool all over my book!”
“He just want to play with his big sister.” Picking him up, she brought him close to my face. Salvia was still dripping from his mouth
“Yea, well I’m not in the mood.” Look away from them both.
“Aw, well if your sister don’t play with you, I will.” Lifting him higher in the air she begin making *whoosh* noise.
Since she is so preoccupied with, him maybe this is my chance to finally get some alone time. “Hey can I go outside to for a little?”
Stopping in her tracks, she quietly looks at me. “Hmmm, sure, just stay in view of the window so I can see you. If you don’t, I won’t let you outside by yourself again.”
“Ok!” I excitedly answer her while I ran for the door. But before I went out the door, I turn back toward her.
“What’s wrong? She look at me with a puzzle expression.
“I was wondering if can change out of this.” I was wearing a simple white sundress, Yea, a dress. I didn’t want anyone seeing me in this.
“No.” She said it bluntly. “You look cute in it.”
I’m use to people calling me a lot of things but “cute,” is something I don’t think I’ll ever get used to. But I do have to say, that this outfit do make me standout. Especially if you combine my black and brown hair and the eye-patch I’m wearing.
*Tch* “Alright fine” I headed out the door.
“Remember, View of the window!”
“I gotcha.” Leaving the house, I was greeted with fresh air, and the soft rustle of the leaves. This house is isolated from the rest of the town. It even has its own little wood. Which make my life all the more easier. No one will be able to see me, me do my little experiment.
I put some distance between me and the house, but made sure to stay in by window so she could see me.
“Ok.” I look back at the window to see if she was looking at me. “Alright I’m clear. I take a deep breath, and focus on my right hand. Soon a black mist form around it, covering my right hand entirely. Alright! I still got access to my magic. No surprise really, unlike mortals, who magic comes from their body. Us entities magic comes directly from our indestructible soul. Well I should say our soul is completely made of magic. Each and every one of our magic represent something.
Athena: Wisdom
Atlas: Strength and vitality
Venus: Love
Loki: Deception
And then there’s me, corruption. Still looking at my hand, I could sense my power was weaker. Again, no surprise. My mana comes from my soul, and the last hero directly tried to destroy it. Which greatly weaken me, hence why I’m stuck in this body.
Might as well test to see how weak I got. I look around to find a test target. Trees won’t do, I rather not leave a huge mark for people to see. And unfortunately there’s no animals around either. I look down at the plants and grass that surrounded me. Well plants are living thing too, I guess they’ll do.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Focusing on my right hand, I place it, in midst a sea of grass.
“Alright, let’s try another attack.” Focusing on my right hand, again I tried to make fist with it, but for some reason, my hand went numb. Soon my right hand begin feeling cold, like I stuck it in a pile of snow. What the hell is going on?
“….!!” Finally catching on, I quickly dispel the black aura that was surrounding my right hand.
“Holy shit.” I was in complete shock, my right hand was paler than before and the skin was flaking off. “Hahaha, how fuck up is this? My own power was killing me.” Even though I reside inside this body now, it’s still vulnerable to corruption. I can potentially kill myself with my own power if I overuse it.
Well lucky for me, while I was channeling my mana into my hand earlier. I sense that this body has its own independent mana core. I got two separate magic system flowing through me, how cool is that?!
Focusing on my left hand, I channel this body magic into it. How strange, this body power feel completely different than mine, It feels warm and full of life, unlike mine which gives off a cold and malign feeling. *Whoosh* A simple fireball was created in my hand. I then aim it at the tree.
“Alright, let’s see how much magic you packing.” The fireball flew out of my hand, and went straight for the tree. But before it could make contact with it, it disappear. “What the…” Suddenly all strength left my body and I fell down on the ground. “You got to be fucking kidding me!” One, just one! This body only have enough magic to shoot one half-assed fireball!

Alright, day two of mine Little experiment. I manage to fumble my way home after yesterday experiment. Of course mother ask what happen to me. I simply lied and said I felled.
Even yesterday though was full of fails, I was able to learn one important thing about this body, it’s ridiculously weak. But no worry. Today a new day, full of hope, and opportunity, and all that other good stuff. Today I will be trying to combine my magic. I mean I have two unique mana system running thorough me, there got to be a way that I can take advantage of this.
.
.
Nope, not happening. I been at this for an hour. And I can safely conclude, that’s it’s impossible to use two powers from different sources at once. You can use one or the other. It impossible to focus on both. It like reading a book while having a full-blown conversation with someone next to you. It’s just not going to happen.
I fell on the ground exhausted. Well this is the perfect time to try my other little experiment. I reach for the vile sitting next to me, that I put down earlier.
A healing tonic, it capable of healing minor, to mildly-serious wounds. I was able to sneak this out of dad drawer before he left. And the past, I was unable to drink this because it has some holy property in it which was bless by Athena.
Of course I never needed to drink this back in day, since all my wounds heal immediately, but I still wanted to try it and see how it taste. Needless to say, it made me sick. But back then I was being a dumbass, and took a huge gulp of it knowing it could probably hurt me. But right now I’ll just take a little sip, I’m in a human body now so it shouldn’t hurt me.
“Well here I go.” I unsteadily brought the vile to my lips. It took forever for me to pour some liquid into my mouth. The moment I did, my body acted on its own and force me to spit it up. This body completely rejected the healing tonic.
Fatigue soon swept through my body. “This isn’t going to work. This body is too fragile.”
