AN-
I know. I know. Please don't yell at me for not uploading a chapter in the last 19 days.
On the bright side, my exams went really good, and I'll upload 4-5 chapters a week.
On the not so bright side, I have a soccer selection coming up next week, so I'll need to practice that.
Anyway, the change I'm making is that it's now 3rd person normally, unless I specifically engineer it to be Kai's POV.
Enjoyyyy!
----------------------------------------
"So...."
A young child was sitting across a woman in her mid 20's. They appeared to be in deep conversation, and while the woman was smiling at the boy, apparently intrigued, the boy looked like he couldn't care less, yawning with his elbows propped on the table.
As their conversation reached a conclusion, the boy got up and began to walk towards the door. The girl pleaded with him for something, and the boy kept refusing until just before he left, where he mentioned something to the auburn which instantly brightened her expression.
After she bid him a cheerful goodbye, for the next few moments, she did nothing except look up at the ceiling in silence. When she got up, she immediately made her way to the window, where she stroked the leaf of a tulip in a flowerpot.
She grinned, and looked up smiling. It was a bone shivering, spine chilling smile, that instantly reminded people of their worst nightmares, the most horrifying Devils they had seen. Any viewer would instantly abandon whatever they were doing and run for it.
She slowly raised her index and middle fingers at the sky, and did nothing except whisper a phrase, "Bang."
And then everything went black.
******
12 hours later(Or maybe less, I have no sense of time)
The same boy from yesterday was seen again, casually walking in a hoodie, hands stuffed in his pockets, a black mask with blue patterns covering most of his face. He seemed exactly like an indifferent teenager, with no care for the world.
Instead, however, it was a completely different scene.
[This is awesome!] The system whooped in my ears. [Did you hear me? This is unreal!]
'I hear you,' Kai muttered mentally.' Cut it out.'
[Nope!] He said brightly, and if possible, his voice increased even further. [ I mean, give me one good reason!]
'Well for starters,' the son of Hades responded, his voice dropping conspiratorially low, 'Makima's watching .'
The system gulped, visibly uncomfortable. And Kai replied with a chuckle, pleased that he had been able to shut the idiot up.
Outside, however, no one has the slightest indication that the boy was hosting an interdimensional system and having an internal monologue about a bloodthirsty Devil hellbent(bad pun) on rewriting the fate of the world with a love deprived puppy.
As they say, all in a day's work.
"Are you done?" The boy cuts coldly through the explanations of Makima to a confused Devil Hunter, who was supposed to be "coordinating with the newbie" and "showing him the ropes".
What a joke.
Makima pouted at his words."Aww, not again, Aizen kun! You told me you wouldn't interrupt our conversations like this. Look at the poor guy," she waved exaggeratedly at the man, who looked even more confused than ever. "He's completely unaware of who you are, what to do, or how to do it! So what's wrong if I take some time to clear his confusion?"
"I came her to fight Devils," The transmigrator responded, the temperature of his voice, if possible, dropping even colder. "not to babysit ignorant ninnies."
"Nin-" He looked beside himself with rage. Before he could snap back, the Head of the Fourth Division patted him on the back.
"There there, Suzuki-san. Aizen kun isn't that bad, but he is impatient. After all, from his viewpoint, he needs to stretch his limbs every now and then."
"Stretch his limbs." Suzuki repeated incredulously. He looked at the masked man, and wondered what kind of black magic fuckery was happening here.
Makima clapped her hands together. "Anyway, Suzuki kun'll give you the info and he'll be guiding you. Good luck with your plaything!"
She leaned forward to give him a kiss, but he leaned back disgusted. "Keep your lips away from me, woman. I'm a minor."
Makima smirked, then blew him a kiss. "Well then, I can wait."
He simply rolled his eyes, narrowing them as she walked towards her car.
[Fuck, is she swaying her hips?]
The system waited until she was gone before gazing at Kai with a judging look.
[Why the fuck did you say that?]
'Because I wanted to, asshole. DenReze for life!'
[You...*sigh* I can't even argue with you now.]
Unaware that this conversation was going, Suzuki cleared his throat, thinking that Kai was just zoning out. This made the man even angrier, but he forced himself to calm down and think clearly. This man, or mercenary, as he was professionally called, had been recommended by Makima herself, and he wasn't going to risk being in her bad books. No one at Public Safety was.
"So, Aizen kun..." He began, clearly in a voice that was horribly forced, "shouldn't we-"
"Where's the Devil?" 'Aizen' cut through, not wasting time on formalities or shit. He wanted a fight, and he wanted it right now.
"Aizen kun-"
Kai began walking towards the car like he couldn't hear him, triggering a laugh from the System.
[Pffft, know your place, fool.] His voice changed midway into a perfect replica to the King of Conviniences.
The 'fool' looked at him.
One second.
Two.
Before throwing a tantrum.
Whatever he could have handled calmly, this had gone way beyond that specific point.
"YOU BLOODY NITWI-"
Kai paused, as he actually heard. He turned around slowly, making the irritated guy smile, as he had actually caught his attention.
But what happened next clearly wasn't worth it.
"What did you say?"
The man froze, and started wishing that he hadn't opened his mouth. And also simultaneously doubting Makima's mental condition.
Because what was standing in front of him was a demon.
[KAI POV]
What a scaredy cat.
Honestly, all I do is show him 1% of my aura-
[Cap.]
Ok fine. Maybe not 1%, around 15%. Same thing.
[There's a lot of difference between 1% and 15%, you know. Its basically the difference between Yuta and Yuki.]
Hmm, Yuki still better though than Bumta.
[I agree.]
Anyway, I show him that amount of my aura, and his shivering like I gave him a death threat. I can see the beads of cold sweat rolling down his face, and the only thing stopping him from yelling "Help! The Great King of Terror is here!" and running away is his respect for Makima.
[Or lust.]
Or lust. I released my aura, lightened my gaze and called out in a much warmer voice[still cold] , "It's alright. I don't bite, I swear..."
Yet.
He clears his throat, wondering why he became a pussy in front of a teenager(curse you Makima! Why'd you have to say anything about my age?) and says, "Well, I'll brief you on the way," and tries not to run to the car.
Another soul dominated. The legend of The Blue Mask will indeed live on!
Speaking of my Blue Mask, I took inspiration of one of two people who possess necromancy and can hide them in their shadows.
Possibly.
In the novel, as far as I read, Suho used some Demon mask he collected from a mission while rescuing victims about to be become Blue Mist Monsters. While in the manhwa, since his control over shadows was already good enough, he managed to change them into masks.
Just like me.
The shadows beneath my feet convulse and writhe before a partial world's body changes into another mask. I look at its description given by the system.
[Name:Shadow Mask
Rank:Basic
Description- A basic mask formed out of the shadows to assist the Son of Hades in his exploits. The shadows are dark beyond comprehension, and limitless. The Child of Hades is merely playing about with his abilities.]
A tick mark appeared on my forehead. Playing about with his abilities? Seriously?
[Suck it up, dickie. Besides, there's something more important you're not paying attention to.]
Huh? Oh yeah.
*Sigh*
I.
Can.
MAKE ITEMS WITH MY SHADOW!
WOOOOO!
Motherfucker, I was seriously worried about not getting any shadow abilities because I had necromancy rather than Shadow Extraction. On the other hand, I guess it's not important. Shadow Extraction, or at least the prototype version, was unable to extract shadows of beings with insufficient mana. Necromancy, on the other hand, is a lot more overpowered, because I can summon anything that's dead.
But I guess I get it.
Heh, of course I'm going to be overpowered without any system. I have the bloodline of Hades after all.

Me too.Hey, but more practical question, why isn't this skill shown in my status page?
[It's a subdivision of Umbrakinesis. I can show you if you want.]
I don't need to nod. That's how good our chemistry is.

Good. No. What am I saying?
This is goated.
Hey, but I never unlocked Umbrakinesis before.
[That's because you unlocked it when you tried to.]
But you never told m- Never mind.
[...What?]
I was spared the pain of answering him when the scared dude shouted out of his car from the shotgun in a overly respectful voice, "Aizen san, arecyou ready to go now?"
Hmm, let's change that to a sama next time.
12 MINUTES LATER
Damn that took way too long.
I step out of the passenger sighing, before cracking my neck and looking up at the street.
And of course it was beautiful.
The broad boulevard of Omotesando stretched out ahead, a refined paradise of towering zelkova trees and sleek, glass-fronted luxury boutiques.
[Stop drooling!]
I didn't even realise that I was staring until Resident Evil here reminded me.
[Heh, thank you.]
It's Biohazard.
[Fuck you!]
I turn my eyes to something not that pretty, something my senses had been picking up even before we reached.
Behind a building, way above us, I saw a cloud of dust rising. It's in a cloud, and it automatically makes me flinch.
In just about every book, trouble always stratys with a cloud of dust. Every time.
But I'm not scared. I grin as I snap my neck.
I was looking for a good fight anyway.
Just then, a black silhouette rises above the chaos, and dives back in. I narrowed my eyes, as I activated Sprint to dash there.
And what I saw really wasn't that unexpected.
People screaming, running, cars smashing and a black piece of crap dive bombing everyone.
Vulture Devil.
A devil born of humanity's fear of vultures. As far as the brief went, it's main abilities are flight,ripping flesh, killing flesh, picking flesh...ugh.
It dives again, this time against someone stuck in rubble. I seriously don't want to play the hero, but...ugh.
A flash suddenly appears next to the ugly ass beak, as I punched it away. It screeched as it flew away, wings flapping desperately, but it still crashed into a nearby building.
I lift the rubble with a single hand and throw it away.
"Go."
"Tha-Thank you!" The woman scrambled away, running for her life.
Tch, why is this feeling so weird. I'm a transmigrator for god's sake, not the main character!
Anyway,what have you got for me, world?
I look back at the scrambling bird, who got up and roared at me, ready to take revenge.

For the next couple of seconds, I just look at it, before it decides to charge.
Oh hell, this is going to be sooo boring....
AN-
2119 words.
Very long.
Planned to publish it yesterday, but I realised I didn't hit word count. And I would rather keep you waiting then give a shortass chapter without any emergency.
Anyways, watch out for next one.
And yes, do tell what you thought of 3rd POV.
I also think I'm gonna add his runes(status screen at the end of every chapter
Love y'all😘😘
