Destroying My Own World-Chapter 62 - : The First.
Mykel was chilling on the private beach as he stared at the sea with Rozan and the boys swimming there. He then looked at his status screen and the timer showed him that the system would come back in fifteen days. The time felt like it moved so slowly when he was waiting for something, and he decided to stop looking at it and enjoy the day.
"Are we really going to enjoy our time here? Aren’t we supposed to help the Sun Guild and Zoroaster Guild on clearing the portal in Ethiopia?" Aurea asked as she sat next to Elena who was sunbathing with Lyneth.
"They’re not ready for it, and their Gods don’t want them to enter the portal for some reason. We can go there and deal with it ourselves, but we have been traveling almost around the world the past two weeks, let’s enjoy this for a moment," Mykel answered as he lay down on the beach chair. "Also, we will have a guest coming. Someone wants to take the artifacts that we took from the Raid Guild," Mykel continued.
They spent the afternoon on the beach, and then they went back to the villa they rented for a week. It was a big mansion, and when Mykel was about to get to his room, someone rang the bell. When he opened the door he knew who it was, it was Johan and he smiled at Mykel with excitement.
Mykel didn’t want to be bothered and gave all the artifacts that he got. At first, Johan looked a bit disappointed, but when he saw Kang Jo Yoon’s sword and tested it out, he looked thrilled. He realized that the sword was more than enough, but he didn’t decline the rest of them.
"You said back then that you wanted something that worth all of these artifacts. Now that you have fulfilled your promise, tell me what you want and I’ll deliver it to Sir Alfredo," Johan said as he looked at his men carrying the cases.
"I would rather ask it personally to Alfredo. It’s something that he should hear first no matter if you’re his most trusted advisor," Mykel answered as he shook his head. "I might visit him very soon," Mykel pointed out.
Johan hummed as he looked at his phone.
"It appears Sir Alfredo will be busy this month and next month. I’ll tell you when he’s free," Johan said with a smile. "Since you’re on vacation, I should excuse myself. Good evening, Mister Mykel," Johan continued and then left.
"That old man is too healthy for his age," Lyneth said as she stood next to Mykel and saw Johan get into the car. "Do you think he’s one of them?" Lyneth asked.
"It’s hard to tell since they’re still human, only the soul is different," Mykel answered. "Even if he’s one of the Dukes, he seems to play a different role, and perhaps he could be the first Duke that the Redhsield family summoned," Mykel continued.
Mykel went to his room and thought about the next plan he wanted to do, but since the atmosphere and the wind that so relaxing, he fell asleep.
(Somewhere unknown)
"You did great for someone who doesn’t know how to fight," A beautiful black-haired woman with bright gray eyes said. She wore a black dress and showed off her long left leg. "But do you think you can fight him?" she asked as she gently put her hand under Sasha’s chin.
"Why? Why do I have to do this?" Sasha asked as her whole body was crushed and flattened to the ground.
"What do you mean?" The woman asked as she slowly got down to her knees and gently stroked Sasha’s hair. "You’re the one who sold your soul and asked for it to happen!" she screamed in Sasha’s face as she pulled Sasha’s hair.
Sasha screamed in fear as she was sobbing and closed her eyes because whenever she stared at the woman, her whole body felt like being stabbed by burning needles. Listening to the woman’s voice was enough to make her head feel like being crushed from the sides.
"How was she? Did you train her well?" Lucifer asked as he landed behind the woman.
"She was doing fine, I just need to train her a bit more. She needs to be obedient, right? I’ll do that in a flash, or I can take my time and just enjoy it," The woman replied.
"You have made a mistake in the past, don’t make another one now, Lilith," Lucifer said. "Do your job as the Lord has ordered you," Lucifer continued.
Lilith’s body trembled to hear Lucifer’s voice right behind her ears. She then walked away since her job was actually done, and she was just enjoying her time to torture Sasha.
Lucifer healed Sasha’s body and gently picked her up, and then he brought her up high into the sky. It felt like he just flew a second ago, but he had already arrived where he wanted to be. He then carefully and gently put Sasha down on the ground.
It was the first time Sasha felt a wind that made her feel relaxed and aroused at the same time. When she opened her eyes, she saw a beautiful garden with a fountain in the middle and a waterfall in the distance.
"Sasha Ferdinand," A soothing and manly voice called Sasha’s full name from behind. "It is painful to watch you suffer," the voice continued.
Sasha turned around and saw an angel, a beautiful face she had ever seen that she couldn’t look away from. The angel then slowly walked toward her and offered her right hand to her. When Sasha took his hand, a notification appeared in front of her.
[You have been chosen by the higher being]
[You have Awakened and become an Awakener with strength and the ability to defeat demons. You are given an opportunity to save Earth, and those who prove themselves will be rewarded]
[To access your strength and ability, you can say "Status" to check]
[You have been gifted a skill called [First Virtue: Humility]]
Sasha was so confused as to what she saw, and it felt like something that came out of a fantasy novel. She then looked at the angel and Lucifer who were standing next to each other.
"Status..." Sasha said quietly.

"What’s this?" Sasha asked with a confused look.
The angel put his right hand on Sasha’s head and she saw flashes of memories and visions of what was happening down on Earth. She was shocked when she saw Mykel slowly take over the world with the characters from the novel. She was petrified when she saw how bad the condition on Earth was.
"You have been given a chance by The Lord to redeem yourself for what you have done and caused. The Lord has shown you mercy, and now you will have to make the world a better place," The angel answered.
"Make a world a better place?" Sasha asked again and she was still looking confused.
"Prevent Mykel Alester from destroying Earth. You and the other Chosen Ones have to stop him before it’s too late," The angel answered.
"You’re going to bring me back to life?" Sasha asked and she looked shocked.
"For a moment. You’ll be back here after you have done with what The Lord ordered. If you have no other questions, I’ll send you back to Earth," The angel said.
"Her soul is mine, Raphael," Lucifer said as he glared at the angel. "I’ll be the one who sends her back," Lucifer continued.
Raphael glanced at Lucifer, and then he slowly walked back and let Lucifer do it. Lucifer then grabbed Sasha’s hands and flew away with her and descended to Earth. Once she was back on Earth, her soul was put down to her vessel inside the coffin. Lucifer whispered something to Sasha, and it made her whole body tremble.
"This is a farewell gift for you, Sasha. No matter where you are, you’re mine forever," Lucifer said and then left.
[You have been cursed by a skill called [First Sin: Pride]]
[First Sin: Pride (Lv.1): One of the seven sins skills that makes the Awakened to be the strongest being that cannot be defeated by anyone as long as you devoted yourself to the Devil. The higher the level, the more benefits will be unlocked that will help the Awakened to become strong]
"No! No! Please! Someone! Help me!" Sasha screamed as she tried to get out of the coffin. "Mykel... please help me..." Sasha said as she sobbed and hugged herself in desperation.
Mykel jolted from his bed and he just dreamt about Sasha who was struggling in her grave. His heart was racing and the dream felt so real that he knew it wasn’t a dream but a reality.
"Mykel? What’s wrong?" Lyneth asked since she was startled when she looked at Mykel covered in sweat and breathing heavily.
"We have to go back. We have to go back to New York now," Mykel answered.
