I returned to Nazrat and the other Imps talking in Impan. The Human Imps broke away to speak in Falaran with each other, but when they saw me, they went silent and joined the rest in the back. Amon was studying the Falaran text translated by Nazrat on the floor. He uses the arrow on his tail to mimic the letters of the Human language. Amon must have the ancestor's Wisdom like Nazrat, who is quick to learn. Since Amon said he has the Glutton Sin, I used the interface to study his details while he was not paying attention to me.

"Interface, open Details of Amon," I whispered in English.

[Glutton (Clay):

Your hunger goes beyond food. It craves your opponent's abilities, unlocking the Sin-Glutton Evolution tree. You can consume blood, flesh, organs, and bone at Clay Rank without chewing, gaining weight, or feeling full. You will lose this skill if your hunger is satiated]

I stand in silence, trying to process the incredible titles and the Druid abilities this Blood Mage Imp has. But the evolution tree was what made me re-read it several times.

Amon can gain all the elemental affinities? Won't that make him an overpowered Mage? I guess the Deadly Sin Imps are like living Cheat Codes. Why would his previous owner sell him without even trying to meet the conditions of his evolution tree?

I asked Nazrat to question Amon about how he ended up here and how he acquired Druid's abilities. After the two had a lengthy conversation, I got a surprising answer.

Amon was born to a Mage Cast Female Imp, an old Human Mage tamed in the Dharman Kingdom, North of Arya. The old man recognized Amon's studious nature and taught him the art of Spellcrafting in the Impan language, hoping he could create his own Bloodmancy Spell Scroll. However, Amon went beyond and created new Blood spells with the help of his ancestors' wisdom, which made him famous and caught the attention of the King's Court. Unfortunately, one of their Mages possessed a book with a Spell Tome that could control time. They used it to see Amon's future and found he would destroy the Dharman Kingdom. So the King ordered Amon's execution with his master, but the old man sacrificed himself to help Amon escape the Palace. Amon managed to board a riverboat sailing south, hiding in the cargo hold for days and surviving on rats and bugs.

Eventually, he had to hunt larger prey, so he sneaked into the Cook's quarters, where they kept livestock like goats, chickens, and pigs for fresh meat during the voyage. However, a Druid Shape Shifter pretended to be one of those pigs to hitch a ride. The Druid shapeshifted into a wolf and tried to kill Amon, but Amon managed to defeat him by draining all the blood from his body. The Druid was a Non-Human, so Amon gained his class and one skill to transform him into an animal. But the fight caught the attention of the Cook and the rest of the sailors, who locked Amon in a cellar and starved him to weaken him since he almost killed them all when they tried to capture him.

After several days, he was in a state of despair and dreamed of eating all the Humans aboard the ship and gaining their skills and memories. That was when his Gluttony Sin awakened. The ship's captain sold him to a creature Trader in Rodwin, and the man happened to be Redrock, who had heard of the Imp who could shapeshift into Animals. It has been a week since Amon left this warehouse to wait for a suitable customer to buy him from Redrock.

"Why didn't Redrock teach you the Falaran language?" I asked, and Nazrat relayed the question in Impan.

"Amon's greatest pleasure was learning the 'Art of the Spellcaster' on his own. So he resisted Redrock's attempts to teach him a language the easy way." Nazrat explained.

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

"Oh? Will he accept a translation book?" I asked, and Amon nodded after Nazrat relayed it.

"Great! I will buy Impan-Falaran from Whiterock if he has one." I reply.

"No, I will teach him! High-Chief should focus on helping him Rank Up!" Nazrat reminded.

"All right! But has he chosen a path, or is he leaving it up to me?" I ask and wait for the translation.

"He wants to take the path that includes all the options," said Nazrat.

"A true Glutton. Where are the other two Sin Imps?" I ask Nazrat.

"They are still with other Non-Believers. I tried my best, but they want to talk to you first." Nazrat said as he pointed to where they both were in the warehouse.

"They speak Falaran?" I ask.

"Yes, Redrock taught them the language but told them not to speak it unless you pick them," Nazrat explained.

"Oh! It was supposed to be a test to see if I could know their potential." I reply. "By the way, what are the rest of the Imps?" I add.

"Out of the 77 I picked. There are 6 Miner Caste, 4 Builder Caste, 30 Warrior Caste, 15 Priest Caste, 12 Smith Caste and 10 Hunter Caste Imps." Nazrat reported.

"Any of them have something special?" I ask.

"There is a Hunter Caste Imp gifted in Archery and a Smith Caste Imp who can turn Gemstones into Rune Stones to enhance the weapons and armor he makes," Nazrat explained.

"I think it would be interesting to have a Rune Smith, but for now, I am going to focus on the other two Sin Imps and make them serve me," I declared before walking over to the other side of the warehouse. While they were trying to hide among the other Imps, I noticed that their bodies were different than the rest. One of them had the body of an adult male orangutan with orange hair, while the other was a Mandrill with white fur. However, both of them had the horns, tails, ears, and eyes of Imps. I used the interface to examine their details and discovered that the Mandrill had the Greed Sin, and the Orangutan had the Wrath Sin. Their status windows were hovering before me, and I took my time reading them.
