He found out that Jhon was a widower, and that his son had died on a portal expedition, noticing that Jhon was enjoying talking about his life Arthur decided to leave it until later, Jhon was already helping him so he thought he should at least hear his story. Arthur continued to follow Jhon home, most of the way Jhon told him about his life.
Jhon's house was not far from the cemetery, about five minutes by car, cars were still a means of transportation these days, but to travel long distances portals were the most used. When they arrived at the house Arthur sat at a table in the kitchen while observing every detail of the house was simple, but welcoming, seeing Arthur's curiosity sits on another chair and they begin to talk again.
"So kid who are your parents? and why were you inside that tomb, from what I remember it's been there for about a year"
"Secondly, why is your name there if you are 'alive'?" asked Jhon with a little curiosity, after all things were not making sense.
"My father's name is Walter Scheuer and my mother's name is Naomi Scheuer, as to why I am inside the tomb I really don't know, as I told you I was being beaten by some bullies and when I woke up I was already there" answered Arthur
"Some things just don't make sense" said John
"I'm sorry,,, when I find my parents I'll ask them what happened"
"Well whatever, I can't leave a child sleeping in a graveyard, plus I suggest you go look for your family tomorrow they may be worried." Jhon replied with a laugh.
"hahaha yes i'll go"
"Come, I'll show you your room and especially the bathroom you need.
And so Arthur was taken to his room and then to the bathroom, Jhon also gave him some clothes that belonged to his son, it was a little big on Arthur but he didn't mind. After the bath Arthur and Jhon went to dinner.
"Boy, how long exactly has it been since you've eaten?" asked Jhon with a smile Arthur only smiled back and continued eating as if food was the only thing that mattered to him.
After dinner Arthur went to his room where he would check out the skill he had received as a reward for leveling up, lying down on the bed he said.
"System" And a blue screen appeared floating in his field of vision. But this one had a slight change, it was more detailed.
[Name: Arthur Scheuer]
[Level:2] [Exp: 0/200]
[Hp:16]
[Statistics] [Skills] [????] [????] [????]
'Humm, this is different' thought Arthur.
He thought 'skills' and the screen soon changed showing his skills.
[Skills]
>Healing {Level 1}: Is able to heal minor wounds and fractures.
{Cost: 1 Aura per second} <
>Bounce {Level 1}: Allows you to move anywhere within five meters.
{Cost: 3 Aura } <
"Aura? What the hell is that?" Arthur wondered.
[AURA: Type of energy needed to use skill]
Arthur was confused, it seemed the system could answer his questions, the question was what and how much could the system answer. "Aura must be the same as the magic that humans know. Well later I'll see about that" Arthur said already jumping to the other thing he wanted to see.
'So {Jump} was the skill I gained and {Healing} is my original skill, both are as level 1 so it should get stronger in the future, especially {Jump} could be quite useful' thought Arthur
For a minute Arthur traveled in his own mind, he pictured himself controlling disappearing between an enemy and appearing somewhere else, he could use it when he needed to rest and heal himself.
"Huhuhu I will be invincible" he said smiling, more quickly stopped wondering how childish the phrase was. Little did he know that he was more than right.
''Now it's time for [Stats] " said Arthur what he would do next.
[Stats]
>Hp: 16 {Each level, 5 points will be added automatically / Points cannot be distributed to this statistic}
>Strength:2
>Agility:2
>Stamina:2 {Every 1 point in Stamina will increase Hp by 1}
>Intelligence:11 {Each 1 point in Intelligence, aura will increase by 2}
>Aura:22 {Points cannot be distributed to this stat}
[Remaining Points:5]
"Ohhh, my aura points are extremely high" "Now where do I put the remaining points?"'
"So I started at level 1 and my HP was 10, I gained a level and 5 more points were added, and then I gained 1 more point in each stat that totals 16!"
'Oh my god I'm talking to myself I better go to sleep, tomorrow will be a long day, I can't wait to see you mom and dad' Arthur thought for fear of speaking and Jhon thinking he was crazy.
And so he hoped to get a good night's sleep, unfortunately things tended not to go so well for Arthur, that night during his sleep he was taken to a place he had forgotten, to a time not too long ago, one where he was constantly tortured.
And when he awoke it would bring back some of his memories of hell, memories that would gradually return and along with them would come the trauma, the fear and terror of being tortured.
The plot follows the story of Arthur a 15 year old boy who after waking up in a dark cell,
discovers that he has died and is in Hell. After years of being tortured, just as he is about to fall
into oblivion, someone comes along with an unexpected proposal, "Become the next Lucifer",
a proposal that will allow him to return to Earth, and perhaps take revenge on his murderers, a
proposal from Lucifer himself.
