Rubix POV

I was born into the royal family of Dorama, as the first prince and future king. I started learning magic at the age of three. And started training in combat at the age of five. I was held as a genius. Undefeatable and unmatched by my peers. At the age of six, when I entered the ‘Royal Noble Academy’, I was already a low-gamma. I didn’t enter the ‘Royal Narth School Competition’ as I wanted to enter it alongside my little sister next year

Today was the start of the first round of the competition. I was confidant in my skills that I have been honing since the age of three. It was going well, my sister and the other three had won their matches. After the fourth match, I quickly entered the stadium and awaited for my opponent. The announcer introduced me and my opponent

Rubix: ‘Lanza huh. What a weakling’

Is what I thought. I didn’t want to fight. Why, well because I wanted to hide my skills until the second round and surprise the world. I wanted to show them my greatness especially the beautiful women that would be watching

I offered the commoner a choice to surrender and save himself form the pain and humiliation that I was about to bestow upon him. But he didn’t even response

Rubix: ‘How dare him’

I was filled with rage, now I was not going to hold back, I will end his miserable life, right here and now

Announcer: “BEGIN”

Even before the announcer had started the match, I had already started to convert mana and gather it on my hands

*BOOMM*

Rubix: ‘WTF happened’

Before I even realised, I was in the resting area, my whole body was hurting.

I used my light attribute to heal myself and barely managed to get backup. I was dizzy but I still managed to make it back onto the field. There he stood, where I was standing

Rubix: ‘What did he do?’

He then ignited a small pink flame in one hand and shot it towards me. I put up a light shield to defend against it. A light shield cannot be seen during the day

Just as the pink flame was a meter away from me, everything went dark

Rubix: “I-i-i s-surrender”

Rubix: ‘W-what, why would I surrender’

I didn’t know what was going on, I was on my knees and tears were flowing down my face. Everyone in the entire stadium saw my disgusting side. While he just turned his back to me and started to walk away, as if this was nothing to him

Rubix: ‘Him. This is his fault’

I healed myself and started to combine wind and water mana to form an ice spear and shot it at his back. My intention was to kill him. Just as it was about to hit him, Intense flames erupted from him and covered his entire body. The flames melted the ice spear and he walked away as if I was nothing compared to him

Lanza POV

Me: ‘Damn I’m hungry’

Using the ‘Lustful Dream’ ended up depleting all my mana, even tho I used ‘Lustful dreams’ at only 1% capacity. That was because of three factors

First was the Dream to reality time ratio. I spent 2 hours in Rubix’s dream while only a few seconds passed in reality

And the second was manipulation, I manipulated Rubix’s dream however I wanted. I took away everything he wants

The last factor was when he shot something at me. I used the last of my mana and made flames erupt from me. The reason I did that instead of dodging was to impress Seira

When normal people use up all their mana, they lose consciousness or get extremely tired, while on the other hand am not normal. My body is that of deity, so when I use up all my mana I get really hungry

As the first stage ended with 4 nobles and 1 commoner qualified for the next stage, I was walking back to my academy to fill my belly when Frantelle called out my name and I turned to face him

Frantelle: “Lanza, where are you going. There is a party bring held in the noble academy to congratulate the winner”

Me: “I’m sorry but I’m really tired”

His lips curled upwards

Frantelle: “Seira will also be there”

Me: ‘Sh*t. I have to go then’

I changed directions and went towards the noble academy again. Frantelle guided me to the hall where the party was being held. Upon entering the hall, I sensed killing intent directed at me

Everyone in the hall were noble students and the academy teachers. Everyone’s face showed an irritated or aggressive expression’s, well almost everyone. Seira showed me a bright smile, a smile that will light up the darkest parts of the world

Me: ‘Beautiful’

My face was red and I started to daydream about me and her, about our future together. I was standing there looking like a retard when I hear a voice from behind me

???: “Excuse me”

I turned to see who the voice belonged to. He was an old man, in his late 40s, blond hair that reached his shoulders, shape black eyes that may cut the air itself in half. But was caught my attention the most about this man, wasn’t his appearance, but the crown he wore on top of his head. He was the King of Dorama, Majin Enno Lily

Majin: “That was quiet a match young man”

He said with a voice that was as cold as ice and continued

Majin: “You show great promise and I have never seen the way you used your flames. Truly amazing”

He then took a step back and gave me a small bow and in a low voice said

Majin: “I apologize for what my son, Rubix had done after the match had concluded”

I and everyone in the hall were shocked at what had just happened. The King of Dorama bowed his head in front of a child and to make matter worse, that child was nothing more than a commoner

Me: “M-my lord. Why are you apologizing? No harm was done and a king should not bow to a mere commoner like me. It should be I that bows to you”

He then went on to say

Majin: “I am not apologizing as a king, I am apologizing as a father, whose child has done something wrong”

Me: “B-but my lord --”

Majin: “Young man. It is a parent’s duty to teach their children about the true values of life and to bring them up with discipline. My daughter Seira understood it all but my son Rubix, fell on the way. His mind got clouded with the authority he has as princes and the power he attained at such a young age, among other things. Today’s loss has affected him a great deal, but with it, his resolve is anew and I promise you that he will be a better person tomorrow then he was today and for that I thank you young man. Thank you very much”

With that said he turned to leave. The two guards behind him showed a happy expression. What made them smile was that the king they severed wasn’t someone who would abuse their authority or power for personal gain. He indeed is a great man and worthy to be king

The king and his guards were leaving, I heard some whispering to each other about what had just happened. Ignoring all of them, I turned, upon seeing who was just a few inches away from me. I was throw off my guard

Seira: “We meet again Lanza”

That voice. I could hear that voice all day long without getting tired of it

Me: “H-h-hi S-seira. Hahaha how are you”

I said awkwardly

Seira: “I’m good. That was a gre---”

*Growl*

She was interrupted by my stomach. I immediately looked the other way, trying to hide my face from her

She let out a cute giggle while saying

Seira: “We can talk while eating *giggle*”

Me: “Y-yea”

Seira led the way to a table where the food was placed. When I saw the amount of food, my mouth began drooling on its own. The smell didn’t help

Me: ‘I Want it. I WANT It! IIII WAANNTTTT IITTTT!’

I rushed forward, not caring for table manners, I picked up the food with my bare hands and started stuffing it in my mouth. Everyone including Seira looked at me, like I’m a wild animal who hasn’t eating anything for weeks

I didn’t stop. I knew that I was hungry, but not this hungry

After 5 minutes of stuffing my face, my hungry finally disappeared and the food was satisfying. I look around to see the disgust on everyone’s face. I see Seira, her face shows shock, but then she says

Seira: “haha. You are a heavy eater”

Me: “Not always”

I said in a low voice

Me: ‘Man that was embarrassing. What the hell happened? It was as if I couldn't control my own body’

???: ‘That’s indeed right, ya pig’

The voice was in my head, but it didn’t belong to Asmodeus. I knew what this meant

Me: ‘And you are?’

???: ‘I am Beelzebub, a flame of hell. The sin of Gluttony’

Beelzebub can create an invisible flame that fuses with the user, creating an armour of flames that cannot be seen or penetrated.

Me: ‘Tell me Beelzebub, why was I so hungry?’

Beelzebub: ‘We sins amplify the emotion we represent. So you’re lust increases because of Asmodeus and hunger because of me. We can stop the amplification of that emotion if you want’

Me: ‘…..’

That means

Beelzebub: ‘Oi pig, are you listening’

That I have been lusting over Seira because of Asmodeus

Me:’ASMODEUS YOU BIT*H. Why the hell did you not tell me something as important as this? I would’ve done something really embarrassing’

Admodeus: ‘Heheheh. Well you see boya, I did it for fun’
