The Cheat Seed

Chapter 91: Being Of Envy

"It's me, Marcus....."

"Just like every human has..."

"You have one too and that's me!!!!. KEKEK"

.................

.................

.................

"Behold... Your INNER DEMON"

............................................

The Demon chuckled. He slowly paced towards the chained Marcus and ran his hand through the chains.

"As I said, I'll be tutoring you"

The demon grabbed the chain around Marcus's mouth.

"And for that... I'll be removing this"

With a swift pull, The demon freed the chain around Marcus's mouth. Marcus gulped air as soon as the demon returned him his right to speak.

"For me to teach, I will have to hear your scream...Nope!! 'S - C - R - E - A - M - S' of agony!! Kekekekekek"

The Demon laughed analogously to that of a psycho serial killer.

"You!. You are not Pyraze!! my Inner demon?. What are you even talking about??"

Marcus retorted, he had enough of this bullshit already.

"Yes... I'm your Inner Demon. I'm composed of all those nasty intentions that ran inside your mind from the day you were born"

"............"

"Marcus G Orno's notions were what made me this powerful, mostly Jealousy!!"

"........."

"I am truly... the other side of Marcus G Orno... The Other side that Marcus wanted to become"

"............."

"Whatever you hated the world for, whatever you wanted in your life, is what pumping through my obsidian body"

".........."

"I'm the other side... OF YOU!!"

Marcus gasped. Inner demons were just philosophies and fantasies of people. But everything that had just happened 5 minutes ago was all once upon a time fantasies as well.

"Why are you doing this?"

Marcus spat his question at the Demon.

"Where's my system??"

*Slap*

"Shut Up idiot. I said I'm here to teach you didn't I?... I hate it when people drag matters which are easy to understand."

Marcus gulped as he clenched his teeth. The pain the slap left... the pain that coursed through his face was unbelievably tormenting.

*Slap*

"I said what I had to say... I don't give a fuck if you don't catch what I mean... do you understand??"

*Slap*

"Oh is it hurting your handsome face???... Aww poor thing"

*Slap*

"This pain will be nothing compared to what's going to happen to you... KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKKKK..."

"Do you realize how weak you are without your powers?"

*Slap*

The Demon boomed as he slapped Marcus cross cheek. Combining it with a backhand slap as he finalized his words.

"This bloody system was fondling you a lot!!. Even now! It was making an effort to deduct the trauma to the smallest feasible dose it could!! HAHAHAHAHAHA"

"Poor dude. He was so immersed in it that I effortlessly snuck inside him. No wonder people say 'IGNORANCE IS A BLISS' KEKEKEKK"

Marcus's eyes widened at the Demon's laugh. He reminisced... Moments ago, just moments ago, he was irritated at his system as it was taking a lot of time, typing, and indexing on the window tab.

He was inflamed at that time because he thought the system didn't care for him. Yeah... He was simply, yet again, contradicting his views about his system. He said a moment ago that his system had emotions and just minutes after that he was screaming how it didn't.

A tear rolled down his cheek as he realized the system was doing it all for his sake. He realized that he was in the wrong. He had always been... from the onset.

*SLAP*

"Pathetic, Just Pathetic!!. What the fuck are you crying for??! How fucking weak can you be??"

The Demon slapped yet again. This time increasing its power to 2 fold.

With a reckless jerk, The Demon grabbed the chains around Marcus's body and pulled his levitating figure closer to his obsidian body.

"You are 18 physically, but you are mentally nothing less than a snot faced 5 year old brat who can't stand up for himself. It's pathetic to know that you were chosen to be the guardian."

The Demon was not at all cutting Marcus slack. He was landing blows after blows on the already broken red head man.

"And It's even more pathetic to know you never grew up after all that old geezer went through to pass down the greatest obligation of defending the entire planet to your hands"

"........"

"Tch"

"........"

"It's Hella Disappointing..."

The dark-skinned Demon made out of obsidian and lava shook his head as if accentuating its dissatisfaction.

.............

Marcus cried, his tears spewed out of his eyes like water from a fountain. He cried with the realization of how true his inner demon's words were.

He had always been a crybaby. Always!. Even after attaining powers that could slay gods, he was just ultimately a miserable crybaby.

Why?. Why was he a crybaby?.

He was, perpetually, during his childhood, the only one who was prejudiced against by the other students in his academy. It was Dave who kept on sticking to Marcus even though the autocrats were not interested in the yellow haired boy.

It was, at the same time, ironic to him when he recalled the same bullies prepare lectures against the very topic itself which held up gravity.

........

'Bullying'

........

From his childhood, he had only been dispirited and biased because of his frail looks and lack of talent. No one would befriend him, No one would talk to him, which dissuaded his cognitive growth. The only exception was the yellow haired brat Dave.

Marcus was always a shy one, even when he was in the later phases of juvenility.

The hardest Marcus ever tried to do something in his academic life was on the day of the awakening. The least he tried to do something as well, was on the day of the awakening.

The hardest he tried was to gather the courage to propose to Alisha, which was cast out to be a horror for him.

And...

The least he ever tried was when he was above, on the academy terrace. The least he tried to do was to console himself that it was not the end, that suicide was not the correct answer.

*Slap*

"Hello!! Hell To Marcus!! Wake up Blood shine!!"

The Demon yet again swept his hands across Marcus's cheeks.

"Do you understand how much of a failure you are??"

The Demon snorted.

"And that's why, as your Inner Demon, I'll be teaching you all about pain and agony!! KEKEKEK. Why pain you ask??... KEKEKEK"

The Demon once again began his maniacal laugh.

"Because... 'Pain'... It is, in every word... the purest sense!!"

..........

"Let me explain the benefits of this 'turturing' class (Drum Rolls) Get it?. I won't explain the joke to you coz it is pathetic to explain something easy to an idiot."

"......."

"Ah... Back to the Benefit(s). My 'turturing' package carries the combo of Infinite pain with guaranteed maturity. I'll say it again"

"G - U - A - R - A - N - T- E- E- D"

"M - A -T - U - R - I - T - Y"

.........

"Please... don't... I beg of you..."

Marcus implored as his tears plummeted to the barren ground.

"This is why I am doing this Marcus!!. Because you are PATHETIC!!. Look at you cry and whimper... aren't you ashamed of calling yourself the Guardian??"

".... I AM!!"

Marcus screamed as he cried.

".. I AM!! *SOB* I grew up this way!!. THIS IS WHO I AM!!... JUST A FUCKING CRYBABY NOBODY!!"

"........."

The Demon went silent for a second. It was starting at Marcus, analyzing him with his eyes.

"Then it's good Marcus... It's great that you know who you are."

The Demon strode closer to the wide open door.

"But don't you worry We'll be the ones to reform you"

The Demon's voice grew serious. From the looks of it, things were going to speed up.

"Dang, he was right."

".... We???... He??.. What are you talking about."

Marcus asked in between as his sobs shifted to intractable hiccups.

"Yes, We... After all, I was sent here by someone"
