HP: A Sociopath Gamer In Magic World [ Chapter 113: Black Demon Title! ] (Patreon)

Next, I took the recipe book, and dismissed the window asking if I wanted to learn it. Flipping through the pages I found it had instructions on how to create a wide variety of undead as well as artifacts that could enhance them further.

I'd look at it later, right now there was still one more thing to check.

Standing about a foot off the ground was a black flame the size of my first. Everything about it just seemed to scream sinister, especially the way it seemed to pulse like a heart every couple of seconds.

[Black Demon Soul-Rank: Legendary

Description: This cursed soul is capable of granting those who eat it extraordinary power for a price. By eating it, their soul will be damned to hell once they die and the gates of heaven will forever be closed to them. In exchange they will be able to connect and draw energy from the dark dimension. This will also grant them an affinity for Darkness and Demonic abilities. (Warning: VIT must be 50 or higher.) ]

Looking at my stats I wondered how much I need.

I might as well use some of the points now.

"Hold on, what do you think you're doing?" Hermes interrupted me by jumping in my face just as I was about to raise my vitality.

"I think that's fairly obvious."

"You're seriously going to eat that? Didn't you read the part where it said your soul will be damned to hell?" he screamed at me.

I raised an incredulous eyebrow at him, "Are you telling me that's not where I'm heading already after all the things I've done?"

"…well you got me there."

"Its fine, if anything this is a blessing in disguise."

"How so?"

"Well now that I know there's an afterlife, I can plan accordingly. Afterall if there's a way to get in, then there's a way to get out. And don't worry, I don't plan on dying any time soon," I reassured him.

He looked at me for several seconds before sighing and stepping aside, "Fine, just be aware that I have your back if anything goes wrong."

"Thanks… partner."

Putting the bare minimum amount of points into VIT I felt a rush of energy.

Then I reached for the flame, finding it freezing rather than hot, as if I was sticking my hand into liquid nitrogen. Slowly I brought it to my lips and felt my insides freeze from the inside out.

I stayed motionless as my body adjusted. After several minutes I let out a frosty breath as it settled down.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just a little cold?"

[You have obtained the Title: Black Demon]

Thankfully there were no outward changes I had to hide.

"Right then, now that that's over let's get to looting this entire place. I saw a set of marble statues-"

"I already called dibs on the statues."

"Fine then I call the paintings," I grumbled.

As expected, I was able to breeze through the exams with plenty of time to spare.

My specialty lay in theory, so the written test proved no challenge at all. It goes without saying that my wandwork and brewing skills were also fairly advanced so the practical exams were just as easy.

Suffice to say, I was a shoe in first place.

"It's finally over," Terry let out an exhausted sigh before falling face first into a beanbag chair.

Padma took the other, "Now we have a full week to just relax."

The other Ravenclaws were also in similar states of disarray as many of them had spent the last week reviewing their notes.

"What are you doing Charles," Antony said from his place on the floor, too lazy to even reach his bed which was currently occupied by Mandy.

"Something I've been working on," I told him as I retrieved my top hat and took out a brown wooden box, "It's based on the Oasis theor-"

"Nooo. Don't say anything else, I'm too tired to think," Lisa cried out from her spot on my bed, placing a pillow over her head.

"Well fine, I guess I'll just skip the explanation. Simply put, I made a few magical objects and could use your help testing them out," I told them, opening the box and taking out one of my magic mirrors.

Michael looked up from his seat, "What is it?"

"Something that should hopefully let us keep in touch during the summer," I explained tossing one of the mirrors to Sue Lee from across the room and another to Terry. Grabbing my own, I pressed down on the power button and the screen lit up to show a list of numbers. "As most of you already know Cadimus is credited for the two-way mirror."

"Who?"

"What's a two-way mirror?"

"Nooo, my brain is melting."

"I guess not, to make a short story even shorter, we'll be able to communicate using the mirror. For example," I demonstrated by choosing the number corresponding to the one in Sue Lee's hands causing it to vibrate and show a message saying someone was trying to call her. "If you want to connect, choose the green button, if you want to decline, choose the red," I told her.

Once she accepted, my screen changed to show her surprised face.

"Wow," she said in awe.

Walking around I handed everyone a mirror, "These are still prototypes, but I'm hoping one day I can market it and start selling them to others."

"What are you going to call them?" Padma asked, inspecting her own.

"Haven't decided on a name yet but let me show you guys how to use them."
