“Looking at the goods, I can offer you 5o gold, for each”
“Right, about that I am not here to sell anyone, I simply wanted to meet with the owner.”
“I see, surely you aren’t here just to waste my time, right?”
“Of course not, I did not come here to sell someone, but I am here to sell something.”
I stretch out my hand, grew a small plant in my palm, I kept the plant on the table.
“Ho, and why should I even consider buying it.”
“I wonder, in this brothel, how many women are there? And I wonder men have simply used the women in this brothel and thrown away, I wonder how many men have given the promise of love to the women yet disappeared after few nights, So, I give you this fruit, the women who eat the fruit will obtain beauty and charm, that can lure any man, and bind him to her for a lifetime.”
“You expect me to believe that and buy it without any proof, and even if what you say is the truth, the price of such fruit would be immeasurable.”
“The fruit also has some flaws, like how the effects would disappear in a week, then the person would have to consume the fruit again, and for the proof, I will give 12 fruits to you, as samples and come back again to receive payment once you have verified it is genuine.”
“Very Well, such an offer how could I refuse, I accept.”
“Then, I shall take my leave.”
“So soon? Are you sure you don’t want any pleasure?”
“I am afraid I am too busy.”
We left and headed to an inn,
While eating food, Delvin said, “If you keeping selling that fruit, we could be rich in no time.”

Alva asked, “Umm, would it be ok if I also tried one?”
“You idiots, you really think such a fruit exists? The fruit I gave them was the cursed scarlet fruit of beauty, similar to cursed scarlet fruit of youth, but it grants beauty, and ability to seduce men instead of healing wounds.”
“So, we basically scammed them”
“No, Remember I gave them the samples for free, I wanted to give all of them for free, but it would have caused suspicion.”
“So, we are not going to receive back any payment.”
“How do you except dead people to pay us back?”
“I forgot that they would all be converted into demons, but how long would that take?”
“It should take around two to three days, once even one of them is converted, then the smell in the air would multiply tremendously, then rapid change would occur, as by then this city would be covered by sinners.”
“What do we do in the meantime?”
“Relax”
3 days later…………………………
The fight over the owner of fruits had begun, the people from the slums had decided to share the fruit with the commoners and join up with them to go against nobles and royals, Those who tasted the fruit had now been filled with gluttony, the nobles who could only watch as the commoners obtained youth were filled with wrath, envy, and greed.
The brothel popularity had increased with by many folds, the men who slept with the women were filled with lust, and greed of keeping them to themselves, the women who seduced men were filled with the desire of wanting more, men had begun fighting over the women, and the women were watching with pride as they felt a new sense of importance.

We were watching all of the events form the top of the hill, that’s when the first person to change into a demon had occurred. It was one of the men, who saw the women he cared for go with another man, filled with excessive wrath, and envy, finally he had turned.
After one turned, more started turning, now even the people of the slums who were consuming the fruit like madmen had begun to turn.
Soon, the entire city was filled in the sights of demons, a demon here was a bit different, the demons made from commoners fought with demons made from nobles, and the men who fought over women kept fighting even after the conversion.
Just within an hour, the city was under the brink of destruction,
“So, how do you like the view of a city being destroyed?”
They could not even look at the city with a straight face.
“Oh, look over there isn’t that the nanny that took care of us in the inn, you three had made an excellent connection with the people in that inn, but look, is that a demon trying to destroy the inn.”
Delvin looked towards the inn and saw people over there, “We need to ... We need to save them.”
“Saving just them when everyone else is dying now, now that would not be fair, would it? Beside look again they are already dead; the demons tore their bodies apart and killed them”
Their bodies were trembling, mind in confusion.
“Why? Why do you look away? You should be proud, be proud and look at the city we just destroyed in the name of God, we killed everyone even the innocents in the name of God, now be proud as worshippers of God.”
