006 Lord of flies
Underworld
The floating city of Agreas
Rical
The Satans are some of the most powerful and influential devils in the underworld. They also happen to be the leaders of my new race. The only devil that can compete with them in terms of influence is lord Zekram Bael, The Great King and the unofficial leader of The Great King Faction. Having your title as the faction's name shows that he isn't really trying to hide that he rules the nobles.
That is why I am perplexed as to why a satan would want to talk to me.
= FLASHBACK =
It's been a day since I woke up from my "coma." My mother finally left at 8 pm after fusing over me the whole day. My new father tried to get her to leave with him when he left a mere half-hour after meeting with the doctor about my health.
The look my mother gave my father was scathing. I wouldn't be surprised if he slept in a guest room last night.
Luckily my new mother won't be coming today or for the next few days. Instead, she decided that she would personally look for items to increase my strength rapidly because formal training just won't cut it.
This might be an anime world in my old life, but in this life, it is a very real world, and I am not some protagonist that will be able to increase my strength just by squeezing some tits.
I do not have much time to get stronger before canon, so I will be working my ass off to get stronger. Hopefully, I will get something from the gacha to help me along the way. I might not know what prizes await, but it's a gamer system. So there have to be some goodies that will make me stronger fast.
Now that I think about it, I haven't had a look at my status since I woke up in this world.
Opening my statues for the first time makes me depressed at the abysmal strength and the long road ahead of me.

Looking through my status, I immediately see something different. I had 1000 points in my points tab that was not there before my rebirth. Thinking about where they came from. I concluded that the points were a beginner's pack or bonus.
I desperately want to use the gacha now, but I hold back, deciding that it is too dangerous to use now. If something happens, like getting sent to a different world or an item popping up. I don't have an inventory, and I do not know if it will just pop up in mid-air or would it store itself away until I claim it.
Knowing my luck, it will be the first, and the item will just pop up in mid-air.
I do not know if I am being watched or not, and things appearing out of nowhere would be challenging to explain. Even if I'm not being monitored, I won't be able to hide a large item in this room till I leave the hospital in a week.
Imagine I win a spaceship, and it just pops up in my hospital room. Explaining that would definitely give me the bull shiting skill.
"Knock" "Knock" Someone softly knocking on the door.
"Come in." I say to the door, curious who has come so early in the morning to disturb me.
As the door opens, I dismiss my status screen. I must remember to continue exploring the system later when I am alone.
In walks in the doctor from yesterday, what was his name again? Dr. Cooper, I believe.
He's not alone. Behind the good doctor walks in a black-haired man that looks to be in his mid-forties wearing a green pinstripe suit. But what is really interesting about him is his orange eyes with an elongated pupil, much like a reptile.
What drew my attention to him is the suffocating aura he is releasing like a snake coiled up and ready to strike.
This is definitely not a man I can mess with, or I'll find myself six feet underground. I don't have plans to meet the administrator so soon if he is even willing to see me again. The administrator might decide I'm a failure for dying too quickly and that I am not worth giving another chance.
"Morning Doctor Cooper, what can I do for you this morning, and who is your friend?" I say, trying to dig for answers on who the man is.
"Morning Rical, I was on my way to check on you when I met Lord Falak. He was curious about the wonder child that woke up after being declared dead."
Falak, Falak, where do I know that name? I know I have heard it somewhere, but I just can't place it right now.
Then it hits me like a ton of bricks, Beelzebub's queen. Falak, the Arabian legend's giant serpent, and Ajuka Beelzebub's queen.
It is rumored that like Serzecks Lucifer's wife and queen, Grayfia Lucifuge, that Falak is also someone at the satan level. What would someone that strong want with someone weaker than some trained humans?
No. If Falak is here, then he is here for his master Ajuka.
"Lord Falak was curious about me?" I ask, feigning ignorance.
"Yes. Lord Falak said he would like to talk to you about something. I'll leave you to it then." He leaves as fast as he can go, clearly not wanting to spend any more time than he needed to with Falak, and honestly, I can't blame him. Falak is one scary guy.
"Hello, lord Falak, what can I do for you?" I say to Falak with a slight bow trying to be as respectful as possible to a being that could literally kill me with a sneeze. Hating every second of being subservient, but there's nothing I can do till I'm stronger.
"You?" he says with a sneer. "What could someone as weak as you do for me. I am just here to collect you and take you to my lord." He continues, while scoffing at me, clearly not happy with dealing with me at all.
"May I know what lord Beelzebub wants with me?" I say, still trying the fish for information, any information I could use to my advantage.
"I don't know, and I don't care. Let's go." Falak just grabs me by the arm, and we teleport to a waiting area outside of what looks like an office.
= FLASHBACK END =
And that's how I ended up here, waiting outside what I can only assume is Ajuka's office.
I hear footsteps to my left. And in walks Ajuka Beelzabub current Satan in charge of science for the devil race.
I take a look at Ajuka for the first time. Ajuka is a handsome man who looks to be in his early twenties with light blue eyes and green hair slicked back. And again, like his queen, he also radiates an aura. Ajuka's atmosphere is like an invisible mist that makes it hard to sense anything from him, making him seem mysterious.
He seems to have noticed me looking at him.
"Ahh, the young Phenex I asked for." Ajuka comments as if he ordered me off a takeout menu.
"Hello. Lord Beelzebub."
"Hello, young Phenex. Let us talk more in my office." He says as he leads me into his office.
