Chapter 73: Strange voice again
After getting home, the first thing that happened was that I fell onto my bed and entered a deep slumber.
I didn't even bother eating anything or taking a shower, I just fell asleep as soon as my face hit the bed.
When I woke up, I found that it was already morning.
The first thing that I did was check my bank account and I found that as promised, the money had already been transferred over.
Seeing all that money in my account, I couldn't help revealing a silly smile.
A few weeks ago, I barely had enough money to sustain myself. But now…I was rolling in the money.
It really was strange how all of this could change in the matter of a few weeks, but I was very grateful to the Demon King System for bringing this change into my life. Without the Demon King System…it would be hard to imagine where I would be…
"At least you know to be grateful."
When I heard this, I immediately snapped out of my thoughts and started looking around for the source of this voice.
However, I wasn't able to see a single thing in this small apartment of mine.
This was a small apartment, so it really would have been hard to hide in here.
After making sure that there was nothing here, I slowly asked, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? Who do you think I am?"
That voice rang out again, but this time I had been looking at my apartment the whole time. This time, I was certain that this voice wasn't coming from anywhere inside of the apartment.
Rather since I was listening to it closely, I could tell that it seemed like this voice was coming from inside of my head.
Could it be that I was going crazy from exhaustion and the stress of this whole situation that I was now hearing voices?
"Humph, even if you are crazy, that doesn't mean that I'm a voice from your imagination. Think carefully and remember whose voice this is."
I couldn't help knitting my brows when I heard this, but I did follow this instruction and started to think carefully about this voice. After all, it did seem quite familiar to me…it was just I couldn't put my finger on where I had heard this voice before.
But then all of a sudden, I remembered who this voice belonged to.
This was the voice that I had heard when the Demon King System had first awakened.
This was the voice that had guided me when I had first awakened as a demon king.
I had thought that this voice would keep talking to me afterwards, but it had suddenly disappeared after the incident with Wang Bing.
"You finally remember me? Took you long enough." The voice rang out in my head.
Slowly, I asked, "Where have you been this whole time? You're the one that suddenly disappeared."
The voice gave a snort before saying, "Humph, it's all your fault! If it wasn't for you being so slow in gathering the demon king's power, then I wouldn't have taken so long to awaken. What kind of virgin are you that it takes you this long to gather enough power to wake me up?"
I couldn't help being stunned when I heard this, but in the end, I could only counter with, "I'm not a virgin…anymore."
The voice gave another snort before saying, "I know, I've been watching the whole time. It's just that I wasn't able to do anything about it. I can't believe that you've been holding back your desires the whole time and haven't done anything like the demon king of lust at all. You should have taken both of those sisters when you could."
I was shocked when I heard this before saying, "All that would do is cause more trouble for me! You should know what would happen if the world were to find out that I was a demon king."
"If you gather enough power, is there anything to fear?"
I didn't say anything in response to this. Instead, I changed the topic by asking, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? Who do you think I am?" The voice suddenly asked in a teasing voice.
I was taken aback by this and just sat there in bed in silence.
"Alright, I'll stop playing around then." The voice said after seeing this, "I am the Aspect of Lust, the one that gave you this Demon King System. I am the origin of the demon king of lust."
I revealed a shocked look when I heard this as I tried to process what I had just heard.
Slowly I said, "Are you some kind of invader from another world? Or are you something else?"
After all, the dungeons had suddenly appeared when that voice had told everyone to slay the demon kings…No one knew exactly where these dungeons came from, but the general guess was that they were from another world.
The voice didn't respond right away, but it still said in a slow voice.
"I…don't really know. I just know that when I gained consciousness, I was to find someone that suited the Demon King System that could become the demon king of lust."
I knitted my brows when I heard the voice say this, but I knew that there was nothing else to gain from questioning the voice.
Before I could say anything else, the voice suddenly said, "That's right, it really was hard trying to find someone that would fulfill the role of the demon king of lust. That is until I found you."
I couldn't help feeling a bit flattered when I heard this, but then the voice quickly shut me down.
"I had thought that someone whose last thoughts before dying was that they wanted to lose their virginity would act much more like a demon king of lust instead of being hesitant like you…But in the end, I was disappointed."
The voice even gave a sigh after saying this.
All that I could do was reveal a bitter smile after hearing this.
