I wake up too Gary’s panicked voice, so what’s got your panties in a twist. Well master there’s a group of people outside trying to break the wards.

Why is there always new stuff? Can’t I get I day of relaxation. Well master it’s kind of their fault so if someone should get punished its them. Of course it is Gary, I say grabbing my magic wonder rod of doom, changing out from my pyjamas doesn’t really seem all that important, they kind of look like robes I guess.

I run out in the living room yell at Gary too take Godfrey with him and follow behind me at a safe distance. There’s 7 people out there. 6 of they are in fucking in mediaeval fucking white Armor and swords and shields, and all the knight shit. And a guy in something that looks like a priest outfit yelling prayers and throwing some kind of white bolds, at the house wards. The wards are still there although they are probably not going to hold much longer, flaring up and throwing of energy at them not really doing anything due to the priest’s wards stopping them.  I yell inumbrass from the top of my lungs throwing dark bolts at them and fire a shitload of lightning from my rod. The priest wards flare up but still holds, the knights run towards me but the priest appears to be shielding them too. I divert my fire power towards one of them and manage to break through his wards but his Armor shields him. Godfrey yells at me too stop using darkness and switch too fire. So, I yell firuas and send fire bolds at him he starts too scream and falls over. I switch to 2 others and soon they go down too. The other priest changes wards, and my magic stopped working on the knight. Godfrey yelled too channel as much darkness through the rod as I could and blast the priest so I do. A huge black lightning bolt flies towards, the priest his wards breaks through his stomach and he appears to turn into a mummy. The 3 remaining knights started hammering at my mana shield, throwing me around like pinball, they break my leg in the process. I improvised and drew power from my link with the demons and Godfrey, and manage too fry 2 of them with a flame trower, but the last one only lost his helmet and half his face was burned. My mana shield faltered from a swing of his sword hitting my shoulder cutting into it. Only for a clawed hand to stab him through the neck. Godfrey yelled at me too cauterize my wounds, a highly painful experience, then just before I passed out, he yelled at Gary too do something.

I woke up in my bed happy to have survived the fight, still I felt pretty horrible my reserves felling empty, which shouldn’t really be possible because of the phoenix blood. I looked at my shoulder while I had a pretty big scar it wasn’t really as big as I thought it would be, the phoenix blood probably pulling through on that at least. I got up from my bed going to the kitchen too get some alcohol, too dull the pain then I went to the living room and laid on the sofa. Godfrey laying on the table and Gary watching TV, I naturally thanked Gary for the save, but he just answered that hell sucks so it wasn’t really anything to thank for.

Well kid I guess you didn’t do that bad for your first fight, but I’m still pretty mad about the whole drawing from me, you asshole couldn’t you just have drawn from the demons it was fucking painful Godfrey said.

I answered well you get too fucking fry my brain regularly o evil grimoire stop whining . Well touché kid he uttered. How come I have empty reserves Godfrey I thought you said the whole phoenix thing would fix that I said. Well kid the phoenix blood draws a lot of power from you continually too heal you, and I’m also drawing power from you too fix my reserves too. At least I managed to steal their souls, whit the help of Gary. You also pretty much doubled your reserves due to the drawing from us which should have blown you up not that they were big before, cool being part phoenix hu. still I don’t recommend doing it again while imps can’t really eat your soul from something like that anything bigger probably would have.

Ok don’t draw power from demons. And how the fuck did you steal their soul thought you needed a contract to do that? I answered.

Well kid since you drew from me I managed to steal some of your affinities specifically corruption and soul. Turns out soul affinity is a lot more useful for a warlock than I thought. In my experience its only really useful for water and earth mages for golem creation and advanced stationary enchantment’s. Then I combined a few rituals improvised a lot and with the help of Gary I was successful, incredibly useful since I think I probably can do it again. The corruption can probably give me the ability to absorb other books again highly useful. This probably makes me one of the most awesome and powerful grimoires in existence cool shit kid.

Ok no boring buying soul’s thing, that’s pretty awesome more mind searing not so much. What do warlocks even use souls for Godfrey.

I thought you had gotten more intelligent since the whole drawing power through your bonds kid, not that it was very smart but you didn’t exactly know that. And warlocks use it to summon greater demons why do you think you don’t have a lepracon yet?

Oh, I guess that should have been pretty obvious. Hey couldn’t you absorb other stuff like my rod or bag of holding. That’s pretty genius kid although It will probably require a shit load of energy. But since the evil fucking bible thumper had an amulet he was drawing faith power from his flock, we could probably drain them. it will probably kill them and destroy their souls, and also the amulet. whose worth a shipload of money by the way. But it’s probably worth it making me more awesome. And it will also get the rest of the inquisition cell killed off.

What do you mean drawing power from faith through an amulet? And killing of a shitload of people doesn’t seem very smart Godfrey.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

A have explained before that magic is affected by will and belief, faith is a pretty powerful type of belief. And the whole amulet was probably owned by a saint or some shit, as such people they believe it’s a holly artefact, it connects it with them, and not just them too their god. And killing a shitload of people, probably, its only about a hundred or so and since they have faith in the amulet it’s going to draw a shitload of power absorbing the rod will probably even make the effects, even more powerful and the increase their power will make my reserves bigger, so I can use them better. You just got yourself a fucking legendary artefact level fucking up kid. It’s also not like it can be tracked people will just think. it’s some idiot summoning some truly powerful demon like a succubus getting eaten, and allowing it to roam for a while. So you won’t get a shitstorm  from it said Godfrey.

Oh, succubus killing hundreds of people I guess not summoning one was pretty good advice. Also, I guess the whole idea doesn’t sound so bad after all, I am supposed to be an evil warlock after all I said.

Y succubus’s pretty much suck, badumchi. Now get something to eat and take a nap kid you are not very useful right now. So, I did.

Next day Gary woke me up. I got some breakfast and I felt pretty good the bigger reserve, fells very good. So, Godfrey what’s the plan? Well the plan is doing the ritual too make me more powerful before any potential, remaining inquisitors manage to disconnect the amulet while they are assholes, they are not stupid enough to allow a connection too their flock in the hands of a warlock said Godfrey.

Ok cool gather up stuff go too mouldy basement I muttered annoyed.

What are you talking about, do you think your servants do nothing all day, they have cleaned it up already and prepared the ritual he said.

Oh, cool Godfrey, I go going to the basement, that’s now entirely cowered in runes and other stuff, so it’s pretty hard not step on something important. Okay Godfrey this looks pretty ominous followed by godfrey frying my brain but I’m awesome, so I would never faint.

Well kid it’s a pretty extensive ritual we are doing, now go towards the bowl in the middle, put me in the pentagram in the middle of the other artefact’s and stand in the big pentagram on the right.

I follow the instructions he gave me.

Ok now kid you say the magic paragraph I just gave you he says.

So, I do the paragraph it turns out to be more of a novel than a paragraph, again it ends in simzalabim. I feel a small draw from my reserves, and all the runes light up a few minutes pass, I start thinking that the ritual might have failed, but I stay quiet since Godfrey doesn’t comment on it.

Pretty soon about half of the runes turn away from mana glow, too white and the other half turns red. There comes a flood of white energy mixed whit grey rushing to the amulets. The amulets light up and the glow turns black. All the artefact’s but the grimoire turns too energy and rushes towards the Godfrey and the grimoire is cowered in a giant puff of smoke, when it clears Godfrey is cowered in a lot of new glowing lines. Cool shit I say and pick up my book.

Now you have a super legendry and awesome artefact, the ever amazing grimoire Godfrey the mighty, Godfrey says.

I think the biggest change is your ego Godfrey I answer.

Pff, I’m like insanely more powerful, I can like do a lot of things, throw black lightning, change size, store a shitload of stuff, even soul. He states.

Wait what I say, if you can’t hold souls, where did you store the inquisitor’s souls?

Well in an object of course he says while I make it too the living room. O what kind of object?

Look at the table kid he says.

Wait what you stored souls in a bloody rock Godfrey. that seems kind of condescending towards their souls I say.

What do you care kid they were bible thumpers? Touché Godfrey.

Now kid I’m having one of the imps get a chain he’s going to attach it to me, so go get some alcohol or whatever you are going to need kid.

So, I do and make it back to the living room, the imp is still attaching the chain too Godfrey. So, I turn on the news watch the classic friends. Naturally there’s a breaking news story, about how 243 people died all at the same time looking like they had died of dehydration, they had also figured out that it was done by magic. The local leader of the black enclave a guy called Nathaniel black is explaining how it most likely was done by an amateur earthen summoner, and that he would already be dead, and the demon would have been banished too hell now. Then he urges all earthen practitioners too go to the local relevant enclave too get proper, training and guidance and proper magic protocol. Then he goes on about in being a horrible tragedy and them doing everything too stop such a thing from ever happening again

Well that’s a bit bloodier than I thought Godfrey.

Stop whining kid says Godfrey having had the chain attached around him too keep the book closed. and a longer one too probably have over your shoulder like the priest happened to have. An imp appeared whit the book on soul magic, I had bought placed it on Godfrey only for it too be absorbed by him. Now kid put me around your neck he shrinks too become like an amulet making it possible.

I follow his instructions luckily, I was seated on the couch because I feel a horrible pain in my entire body but not my mind I pass out again.

I wake up and say fuck you Godfrey What’s up whit that I didn’t even get any knowledge.

Well you really should say thank you I fixed your tattoos. What fixed my tattoos I check my arms turns out my previous tattoos, have been removed and lines appear to be under my skin instead. Ok what the fuck is this Godfrey.

Instead of having crappy tattoos I scripted them directly on your aura also I changed, it so all the spell scribing would come from me, instead from the crappy tattoos so now your protected from me instead of crappy tattoos, also it keeps you from leaving me too be bored, all kind of shit places since you would be without protection except in your house, I don’t really want to go to bed whit you anyhow. Also, it gives you more powerful and versatile spell work so thank my powerup.

Oh, the whole being whit you all the time I’m not really so keen on, but I guess I don’t really have much of a choice. The whole superpower full spell work is kind of cool I say.

Well it’s not really that more powerful kid. You really need the wizard affinities. Reality and arcana for that. True wizards are actually pretty rare most of them are just mages or witches. Although it is more versatile and the whole intend control is much better since I do it now, also you can channel and throw black lightning or just lightning bolts from your hand, also you have level up by gaining an inventory.

That’s actually very cool despite the whole lack of large power spike I say.

Well kid getting political protection from that Nathaniel black guy, and summoning a leprechaun, should make you quite more powerful.

The now famous leprechaun sounds fucking awesome Godfrey.
