《Under The Game of God》Chapter 11- Acedia
Advertisement
Lying in sofa lazily, a teen look at the remote control that lay on the table in front of him. Stretching his right hand slowly, he grabbed the remote control and was about to turn on the television when it suddenly fell from his grasp.
A frown appeared on his face as he stared at the remote control that fell half a meter away from him as he closed his eyes in contemplation.
Marie felt strange. 'I am only gone for two weeks, what happened to him?'
'His transformation was too much for me to handle!' She grabbed her hair as she was frustrated, thinking that Jack change was because of her.
She looks at Jack and thought that he was thinking of something. But after watching him for almost 10 minutes, she realized that.
'He was sleeping, dammit!'
The urge of smacking his head surface to her mind when she looks at him. But seeing the peaceful expression that Jack currently has, she stopped and bitterly smiled. 'Perhaps, this is good for him, Westly and his mom are mostly away from him. So I have to spoil him to make up for his parent's absence.'
Marie stroked his hair as she smiled. "Auntie will protect you."
When Jack felt someone touch, he woke up and lazily sat on the sofa as he stared at Marie in front of him. "Why are you always disturbing my sleep?"
Marie was stunned, she didn't expect such a question, she felt that this Jack was too lazy and treat her as a stranger. "Jack."
"Are you Jack or someone else?" Marie musters her courage to ask this question.
Even if she was not together with her nephew for a long time, she knew his personality well, this Jack in front of him was a stranger to her. She doesn't feel a hint of the Jack in her memories, the thought that her nephew developed a dissociative identity disorder scared her. She encountered this type of situation in the past when she was still studying at her university, a friend of her also has multiple personalities.

(Dissociative identity disorder- Multiple Personality)
She developed that disorder due to bullying and abuses of her parents. The other her has a bad temper and violent tendencies, so when she thought that Jack experienced the same thing, Marie was nervous and afraid at the same time.
"Oh, quite smart, but you're not completely correct." Jack lazily said.
"What do you mean?" She asked confused.
Jack closed his eyes as he said. " You could say that while I possessed his other personality, I also own a soul that can devour him. In other words, I can replace him anytime I want, but I was lazy to do that."
Marie's face turned pale. "Are you an all..."
"Yes, I am;" Marie want to ask if he was an ally, but he stopped her from talking too much as he thought that it was a hassle to listen if he already read her mind.
"Are you."
"Yes;" Jack answered as he already read her thought.
Marie's face was turning paler, as she didn't expect that he can read her mind.
"You don't have to worry, as I don't have the intention to erase our origins, even If I am lazy, I am not crazy enough to erase the existence that making us alive." Jack stared at Marie with blue eyes.
Marie felt uncomfortable, as she feels nude in front of this person, but endured it as there still many questions she wanted to ask. "Well basically, we have to thank that pill because of it, Jack obtained the power and turned to a God!"
"You don't believe me, right?" He stared at Marie with a deep gaze.
"HAHA, believe me, Jack will become a God. We are an existence that can predict the future, instead of rebelling against our creator why don't we help him?" His voice started to get stronger.
"But right now, his power was so weak that we need to wait until he releases us. If not for our fear that his body will collapse due to our power dominating this world is not difficult at all." Jack lazy face turned excited as he said. " I am called Acedia, one of his servant, we seven swear that we will serve the ruler of the universe!"

Acedia turns his head and looks Marie. "Protect him, don't let him die. His power is still insufficient, the power that this world hold is many if he encountered a dangerous situation, one of us will come out to protect him. But we don't wish that to happen as it involves a lot of risks."
"Protect him." After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Arg." Jack opened his eyes and saw his aunt looking dumbfoundedly at him. "Big sis, what happened?"
'How come I was here, didn't I lose my consciousness inside the cave?' Looking at the familiar living room, Jack felt that something was wrong, so he activated his status window and found out that he stepped to the First Stage of Body Tempering;
He thought that he failed his breakthrough as the psychic power stored within his body is insufficient. Feeling the strength circulating within his body, Jack was eager to test this newfound power.
'I don't know, what happens when I lose consciousness, so I have to ask Big sis about it.' he thought.
Looking at his brown eyes, Marie knew that her nephew came back, but her thought was still on Acedia. 'That personality of Jack didn't develop an eighth-grade syndrome, right?'
'And furthermore, he said seven, so there are more six personalities in his body?' Her thought was in disarray, as she grabs her hair in frustration.
'What the hell happened to Jack, did his school mistreat him?' Marie cried as she thought of Jack pain.
Oblivious to her thoughts, Jack stared strangely at her aunt and thought. 'Is she under menstruation?'
Jack controlled his psychic field around his body, so he was naturally ignorant about her thought.
If Marie knew his thought 'Menstruation your dad, I am worried about you, but you didn't even appreciate it!'
Marie hugged Jack who was staring weirdly at her. "Aunt promise that she will never leave you."
She didn't say her Jack multiple personalities in fear, that Jack will disappear and replaced by that psycho.
Jack didn't understand her at first, but when she made contact in his psychic field, his emotionless face turned pale. 'Acedia, one of the deadly sins!'
'How did he take over my body!?' Jack didn't know that when he exhausted his psychic force, his soul was affected and entered a dormant mode. His body turned into the empty shell without a soul, so to protect him from harm, Acedia, one of the seven souls decided to take over his body.
The seven souls reach the agreement to send Acedia as he was the weakest among them. If any of the other six take over, the probability of destroying his body is quite high as they possessed much more understanding of the Dao.
Dao is a comprehension of the universe, so absorbing the dao with a weak body will lead to destruction. Jack was not aware of the seven souls are his subordinate, so he treated them as an enemy that will influence him.
When he thought, that those seven can freely control his body, a shudder run through his body. Marie felt Jack was acting strange, so she looks at him notice that his face was pale. Suddenly, a thought struck her, if that psycho can read her mind then.
"Jack, can you read other's mind as well?" Her aunt seriously asked.
He trembled slightly."No."
Marie sigh in relief, she didn't want to feel transparent to her nephew as she will no longer hide anything from him.
