Cheat Awakening

"ᛞᚺᛖᚱ ᛞᛁᛞ ᚣᛟᚢ ᚷᛖᛏ ᛏᚺᛁᛋ!"

"What was that creepy sound?" Just as Myne was about to put away his watch and head towards Maya's house to receive another round of beating, suddenly a weird, but more creepy-looking sound echoed in the bar, causing everyone's hair to stand on end as they all started looking around trying to find the source of the sound.

"Why do those words sound so familiar, as if I've heard them somewhere before, and quite a lot of times?" Myne thought while looking around like most of the others. Of course, it was a different thing that his eyes automatically diverted to the colossal-breasted girl, full of regret.

According to his original plan, he would try to provoke this stupid fatty, then when the other party was at the peak of his ego, he would bet with him that if he lost, he would have to hand over his maid to him for a night, then he can enjoy her as much as he wants, without any worry about taking her responsibility.

Unfortunately, plans never kept up with the situation, and because the fatty messed up with Alex and attracted his stepmother's attention, everything was ruined just like that. So now Myne could only look at the colossal-breasted girl's juicy voluptuous figure retreatfully.

"Cough! Excuse me, Mister, If it's not a bother, could you tell me where you acquired that watch?" While everyone was searching for the source of that weird, creepy noise, suddenly the beautiful woman unexpectedly asked something, which made question marks appear on Myen's head.

Myne raised an eyebrow in confusion. "You mean this watch?" He asked hesitantly, holding his waist watch with different kinds of weird symbols which looked more like demonic faces, up for her inspection.

"Yes, precisely that one, could you please tell me where you got it?" The beautiful woman confirmed with a seriousness that caused her to subconsciously glance back at Daiko, the mysterious demon. She could sense his hands trembling with a mix of excitement and anticipation.

"And why should I tell you?" Myne replied with a tinge of hostility as he put the watch back into his inventory. If he weren't aware of Daiko's true identity, he might have been inclined to engage in conversation. However, knowing that Daiko was also a demon from the real hell, Myne had no desire for a friendly exchange on this kind of sensitive topic, which could only bring him endless trouble.

"It seems we need to demonstrate some sincerity before you'll be willing to help us... Sigh, Daiko, please clear the place. I require a private conversation with this gentleman."

The moment the beautiful woman's words left her lips, a phenomenon akin to Alex's previous experience unfolded. All the onlookers witnessing the drama felt like they were struck by a speeding train, slamming them into the back wall with tremendous force. They were ejected from the bar like cannonballs, only the fortunate few standing by the door escaping the wall-crushing impact.

They were simply launched into the building across the street, again ruining many people's sleep.

But this wasn't the end. Just as Alex thought he had narrowly avoided disaster, his body inexplicably began to float. His surroundings blurred, and suddenly, the horrifying, ugly face of the fatty appeared in front of him before he could even react. Find your next adventure on empire

He collided with the fatty's enormous, blubbery body, which saved him from being injured, but then, with an invisible force crushing down upon them, Alex, along with the fatty trio, were hurled ruthlessly into the basement.

Everything happened too fast, and until Myne reacted, in the entire bar, only Daiko, the hologram of the beautiful woman, and himself remained. The situation's rapid transformation left him utterly bewildered; he really couldn't keep up with the speed of the changing situation.

"What does this mean? What do you want?" Myne cautiously stepped back. He never expected this seemingly kind and gentle-looking woman would suddenly become so ruthless.

"Please don't be afraid. I have no malicious intent. I simply wished to speak with you privately. However, Daiko's actions were indeed excessive. Sigh... Daiko, please reveal yourself to him, only then he will understand why we did this."

At the beautiful woman's command, Daiko raised his hand, the one adorned with a gleaming silver gauntlet. He removed his hood, revealing an exceptionally terrifying visage that, Myne had to admit was more frightening than any demon he had seen yet, except for that snail monster in the Alban laboratory. Myne didn't think anyone could be more disgusting and ugly than it.

On a scale of one to ten for sheer frightfulness, Daiko's face undoubtedly claimed top honours. It was a skeletal red, almost devoid of flesh, with a bulbous nose. Two long, pointed ears protruded from his head. Three eyes dominated his face: the usual pair of glowing orbs nestled in dark, hollow sockets, and a third eye centred on his forehead with a black pupil and a white iris.

His mouth gaped open, revealing countless razor-sharp teeth, two of which protruded like elongated elephant tusks. His hair, long and white as mist, defied gravity, rippling around him like flames. Two crimson horns completed the nightmarish picture.

Daiko's lower body remained shrouded in his robe, but his face alone was enough to make Myne blurt out the word "F*ck."

After having thoroughly shaken Myne to his core with his handsome face, Daiko silently put back his hood and continued staring at him like before. But now, after knowing that the other party's three creepy eyes were watching over him, Myne felt a chill run down his spine.

The beautiful woman allowed Myne a moment to recover from the shock. A playful smile danced on her lips, she had the same expression as him when Daiko first revealed himself to her. Seeing another victim share her initial reaction seemed to amuse her.

"As you can see, Daiko is a demon. According to him, your watch originates from his homeworld, a place he's desperately strived to return to for over three hundred years. Unfortunately, he hasn't found a way back until now. Upon seeing your watch, hope rekindled within him. Although Daiko is my husband's slave, I deeply wish he could go back to his home.

Therefore, we were hoping you could enlighten us – where did you acquire this watch?" The beautiful woman after having enough fun, quickly returns to the topic and requests again.

Myne, having regained his composure after some reflection, hesitated slightly but ultimately decided to indulge their curiosity. "This watch is a gift from my wife."

"And where did your wife obtain it from?"

"From the market, probably? I am not sure about it, as I didn't think any person with a normal mind would ask such a stupid question while receiving a gift," Myne said with a frown. His scepticism regarding the beautiful woman's intelligence grew again.

"Sorry, I was simply desperate to find a way to send Daiko back to his homeworld. By the way, where is your wife? Could you please introduce us to her? Perhaps she can shed some light on the watch's origin? Please don't misunderstand, but it is really very important for us," The beautiful lady hurriedly explains, noticing his darkening expression.

"Sigh, she is far from home, and even I myself don't know if we'll ever reunite again..." Myne paused, then continued with a hint of hesitation, "That's all I have to say. Hopefully, our paths won't cross again." With that, he turned and headed for the exit. Halfway there, however, a thought struck him. He turned back at the beautiful woman who was seriously thinking about something and asked"

"By the way, can you understand the hell language spoken by this Oni?"

"No, I can't, but Daiko can transmit the message he wants to say directly into my mind, so I don't have a problem understanding what he is saying," the beautiful woman replied subconsciously while still deeply thinking about the information provided by Myne.

Wait... Hell language? Oni? How did he know about them? I didn't tell him about those things, The beautiful woman's brain was occupied by other thoughts, however suddenly, Myne's last question resurfaced in her mind, which jolted her awake. She hurriedly looked up, but sadly, Myne had long ago disappeared.

"Damn it, Daiko, quickly follow him. This guy definitely knows about your homeworld; he is just pretending to be an idiot. Hurry up, we have to find him," The beautiful woman quickly ordered. If not for the fact that currently, she was just a hologram projection, she might have already started chasing Myne crazily.

Daiko, who had finally glimpsed a chance to escape this backwards, hellish place and be rid of serving those puny annoying humes, didn't hesitate. The moment the beautiful woman spoke, he blasted skyward like a rocket. With a loud bang, he shot out of the bar and soared several dozen meters above Lucas Town.

All three eyes moved left and right crazily, trying to find that bald guy who was pretending to be that middle-aged, ugly uncle.

Tragically, after searching the town like a bat for nearly three hours, Daiko found no trace of Myne. Dejected, he could only return to the bar with a defeated expression etched on his face.
