After that fake family 'reunions', I started recollecting my mana. I had never cultivated divine, pure mana. Thus, I need to recollect my old demonic mana, through a dangerous process. "As the divine mana lies through the surface of the earth in another form while demonic mana is another form."

To obtain such mana, Firstly, The man woman shall feel the mana through the skin and absorb it. It also lies in the innate talent inside a human. Suppose, if you pour liquid on a closed container, If you absorb too much mana, it overflows. Such overflow causes the internal organs to be disrupted. The human body is made of positive and negative radical energy,

Like the yin and yang energy, mana operates like that too.

But for a demon's body, It was simply made out of nothingness. We, the prince of hells and mother Lilith originated ourselves, through malice and desires of the old humans.

it should be filtered from the divine mana. While divine mana itself is pure and easy to use and contain.

While demonic mana lets its user take up as much as it wants, at the price of sanity and life force.

If a human takes too much negative or demonic mana within, It overtakes his ability to think.

Such mana works.

It has been a curse and blessing for humanity as it will remain so until it is extinct.

But we, the seven princes of hell originated from mother Lilith. The mother of demons.

The first demon lord.

She gives us birth through her flesh.

And assigned us as our roles,

Lucifer is the great demon of Pride.

Mammon is the great demon of Greed.

Asmodeus is the great demon of Lust.

Leviathan is the great demon of Envy.

Beelzebub is the great demon of Gluttony.

Satan is the great demon of Wrath.

Belphégor is the great demon of Sloth.

I was the sloth demonic prince.

Such as that, The gods also assigned a role for each of the 7 heroes. They were known as angels later.

But as a great demon, Belphégor. That side effect is nothing.

I asked my family not to enter my bedroom they seemed confused but they said okay and I started absorbing and cultivating demonic mana.

Divine mana shines bright and looks warm but the demonic mana around the surroundings looks like creepy black thing that is very disturbing for humankind. As for me, "I don't care."

As I connected all the demonic mana, I accidentally touched the divine mana subconsciously. It was a small amount, so I neglected it.

After 15 hours,

Bel wakes his eyes up.

"Ahhh, This is it," says Bel.

I have obtained a tiny bit of my mana now. Let me check my mana pool.

Mana pool refers to the mana that has been stored.

I look carefully through a large ball of demonic energy.

"This body can handle this much? who is this boy?" I think to myself. But Since I know body reformation, it will be easy to regain my power.

Bel sees another mana pool.

"What?" Bel screams.

"Two mana pools? no way. Humans don't have two-man pools-

Ah, The demonic mana pool is mine, so this one is of that boy's soul?

It is quite larger than me. If he had been born XX years earlier, he would have been a hero.

An extraordinary one, on top of that. Bel thinks for a moment.

So, Can I cultivate divine mana now?

Bel tries to recollect the divine mana in his other mana pool.

It's complete now.

But if I open my both mana pool, such a large amount of both manas, won't I die?

What if I combine it?

"Ah- I'm going to do it."

Suddenly as Bel tries to experiment by mixing his mana himself by releasing a huge amount of divine and demonic mana, bam opens a door.

Ivy and Yuki scream, "Brother, are you okay? you have been here for a whole 2 days."

Bel snaps.

"H-Huh? Y-Yeah I am."

"Don't stay there too much and come socialize," Ivy states.

At the last minute, his sister saved him and themselves too.

The twins open the door.

BAM!

"I discovered mana and I was training them." Ivy and Yuki seem genuinely happy to hear that.

Yuki flutters her black hair, "You did it, brother!! As expected."

Ivy nods her head.

Con- congratulations" she screams but it wasn't a scream, it was kinda silent.

Mom and Dad also rushed there but left because it was too stinky.

"But you stink," They said as they swayed their hands and pinched their nose to stop it.

I was in awe, but I smiled a little and went for a bath.

After a moment,

F*ck, I did it again. If I had mixed both of the mana, It would have destroyed the body and soul of the boy.

Even on top of that, Those four wouldn't have lived. Such a powerful mix of these two mana would blow that doesn't leave a trace.'

Bel heard a voice.

See, You demon, you can never be a human and the sins will always burden you to death. You demon, you almost killed humans who are not even your real nemesis.

Bel hears another voice.

"Why do you care? They are just humans. You have slaughtered millions and now you worry about them?"

Bel had never felt these words ring to his soul. Now, as in his human body, He is vulnerable to the feelings of humans.

Demons have the mindset of power and nothing else but power.

....

what happens when it vanishes?

"The guilt consumes If they have a human heart in the first place."

Where Bel does have one.

Now, It has overcome him, Even though he doesn't want to respond, his body and subconscious do.

Bel put his hand against the wall, as he has difficulty breathing.

He hears his dad speak, "Alright since my son has gained mana, I gotta work hard to send him to capital school."

Mother also says, "Why don't I make something tasty for a celebration?"

Ivy and Yuki giggle.

"Yay! Although our brother is dumb, he had a good thing awakening by himself (so late even though)." Ivy speaks.

....

Bel smirks. "Hah! I gotta be better, so I can at least keep them safe."

I have expectations to keep up.

... Dad calls me down. I slowly walk down. My hair had a little bit grown due to the sudden growth of mana in my body, but my height and weight remained the same.

The stairs creak as our Bel goes down for what has his father called him for... And as he stands on the floor swiping his hair backwards. Everyone is in awe while Bel stands there in confusion.

"Wah! Bro turned into a girly in a few days," Ivy exclaimed as she pointed directly at him.

Yuki snickers. Dad said, " So daughter? There is something we need to talk about!

I replied, "I still have that."

Dad replied, 'All right. So, I could get you a ticket to the entrance examination of the school. They said it's hard for a peasant to enter, first, you have to have at least a class C mana level so you can have Technical knowledge to earn your living.'

I was fine with being at a small school but the capital one.

'I'm sorry, son. This is all I can get for you.'

I replied, 'It's okay, t- thank you.'

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh- It's embarrassing thanking somebody for the first time."

He placed a hand on my shoulder and we went to the table.

I will get admitted into the school but I would have to stay low and *Yawns

I forgot what I was it was-

ah... I need to find a way to return to my original strength but there seems to be a curse stopping this body from recovering properly.

After two months, I needed to take my examination.

So I remained diligent.
