Layha was grateful for the city she found this time, it seemed quite friendly and comfortable to live in. Layha immediately walked to the guild shown by the gatekeepers so that she could earn some income for herself to eat. Although, he rarely felt thirsty and hungry.
The job offered by the guild, was none other than being a servant in the guild. The servant's job was to guide the adventurers who had just arrived in the city and also explain the rules of the city. Not only that, the duty of servants in the guild, also to serve customers who want to order beer or a meal provided by the guild. For a person who works as an admistration, they are the ones directly chosen by the guild owner. Those who are trusted, will be appointed as admistrasi and serve adventurers who are looking for a mission, receive a mission from someone, and so on.
And Layha, herself worked as a servant in the guild. His wage was only 4 gold coins per month. At that time, gold coins were very valuable.4 gold coins at that time, can be used to support life for one to two months. It depends on the life pattern of the person.
Layha worked hard, every day she woke up before dawn, took a bath and prepared herself. Every morning, he always swept the front yard of the adventurer guild office so that customers and adventurers, comfortable with the clean condition of the guild.
After sweeping, Layha who had been fully dressed in a servant suit, returned inside for the next, preparing to serve the customers cheerfully and happily.
And that, Layha continued to do for years. Until he was unaware, he had been in the city for 9 years.
"It's true, the other races are the best. I've had a lot of wrinkles but, you guys from different races, still look young. This is what makes me like you. Customers always love beautiful girls. I don't have to bother looking for workers every year with you guys" said the handsome Guild Owner in front of the nine employees in the adventurer guild.
It has been nine years, but Layha's physical condition has not changed. Layha still looks like she is 18 years old although she should be, she has now reached the age of 37.
Well, he's not surprised anymore. He has a lot of money because the money he did not use to buy food all this time. Because Layha is rarely hungry, she rarely buys food. She often visits the clothing store on weekends to restore her beauty.
The whole money is used more to buy clothes than to buy food every day. He does not always buy clothes, sometimes when he is bored with clothing stores, when he is off, he often feeds birds in the city square.
In essence, Layha very rarely eat food if he does not want to.
"Welcome~" Layha said in welcoming customers who came to the guild where she worked.
His days as a servant, including fun for him. In addition to serving servants, Layha was often useful to scare off adventurers who committed crimes within the guild with her demonic form.
Although he began to know the workings of his new body, but if without being told by a teacher, he could not unlock the potential in his own body. At least, there must be an intermediary who tells what Layha must do so that the potential of his demonic power can be used.
If not, then it took a long time for Layha to realize the potential in him. And for a long time, Layha would remain a weakling. Even though he became a demon.
Almost 10 years Layha served in the adventurer guild in the city, it is difficult to be happy he lived with a happy cheerful face. No matter how difficult the obstacles he walked, Layha still lived everything with all her heart.
But one day... Suddenly he woke up somewhere different. He went back to where he came from. After she fell asleep that day, Layha woke up on a throne located inside a dungeon.
Wearing demonic clothing, sexy clothes, Layha awoke in the same place as when she woke up from a long dream once.
<"Aaahhhhh. The proof is, you were able to regain your consciousness after I took over your body though, you can only maintain it for 10 years. So did I."> a voice sounded from inside his head. The voice stated that she and Layha, had shared life together.10 years for Layha, and 10 years for her.
"Are you a black fog?" Layha asked quite loudly to herself.
<"Yes. Name, Archela. I, the Demon Queen who leads the demon races!">
"Wait!" shocked by the speech on his head, Layha's body goosebumps feeling the chill that occurred from her fear of powerful beings.
<"It's natural for a creature like yourself to fear myself, Layha. But now you have become half of me. I am also half of you. We are a unit now,"> said the voice continued his sentence.
<"I can't freely use your body because your determination to live, is huge. All I can do is wait patiently for my turn. Take it easy, I'm not messing with your life,"> said Archela.
"Why are you this good?"
<"Why am I this good? Is that a question necessary?">
"Ma...."
<"I'll answer, I don't want to lose someone with great potential like you. If you can't control me, I'll get you tied up with me. From today on, I will give you special training to use my magic power!"> said Archela in a very excited tone.
"Why?"
<"Why did you say? Don't you realize you're weak?">
"I know that but I don't want me to abuse my power... I mean, your powers."
<"That's undeniable, Layha. Humans are often emotionally disturbed. They will do anything when their emotions are beyond their limits. It doesn't matter if you have to be angry twice. You're free to express yourself, Layha,"> said Archela trying to encourage Layha.
"Fix it, I..."
<"No protest! Today's lesson is, the basics of magic! I have prepared various books before you wake up, from now, morning until night, you must memorize everything written in the book!">
In front of Layha, there were about dozens of books piled up before her eyes. The book that looks a lot and thick, Layha must read and memorize each page. No matter how difficult she was to memorize, Layha had to give it a try because otherwise, Archela would just force her from her subconscious psyche.
Morning, afternoon, evening, night, even while sleeping, Layha constantly forced Archela to read and memorize everything written on every book that Archela has prepared. Starting from books on basic magic, intermediate magic, how to use magic, magic evolution, and so on.
Archela forced Layha to read many books because she thought that Layha was very weak. Although the potential in Layha is very large, however, if the pilot who drives it is not proficient in driving it then, it is in vain.
Moreover, Archela could not act arbitrarily with Layha's body. Layha continues to struggle from the subconscious so that she can reuse her body.
If Layha had not fought from her subconscious, then it had been a long time since, Archela had mastered her body freely.
If Layha sleeps, Archela will bring all the remaining books into Layha's dream so that Layha can read them there. There really is no stopping. Layha until not had time to walk outside in about 2 years after he mastered the awareness of his body again.
<"What's discussed?"> ask Archela every Layha finished reading one material.
"Pulse... Combined rather than magic, was something of a special ability of a 3-star mage. The magic combination includes the five basic elements of magic, Fire, Light, Darkness, Water, and Earth. A magic combination is a combination of two or more magic elements. Only 5-star mages were able to combine up to 5 basic elements at once in a single area explosion attack."
<"Blowout magic, should require the corresponding elements of each of its mergers however, if the explosion magic or what you refer to as magic combination, is used by 5-star magicians, it is used by 5-star magicians, then they are free to combine any basic elements of magic.">
"Wrong again?!" shouted Layha who now lost 40% of her female nature.
<"Yups, we raise the vibration?">
"What?! Don't make me misunderstand!! I didn't sign the punishment contract!"
<"Eh.">
"Don't talk about anything nasty to me anymore!"
<"Well, 8 more years we will change consciousness. I'll be patient that long.">
"Please don't do anything bad to my body this one. You're good, you devil, you're free to change bodies. But me? I'm just an ordinary human being who's now half a demon."
<"Let's just calm, won't break anyway.">
"Your words make me worry."
Up to three years later... Half of her waking life, Layha managed to study and memorize all the books that Archela himself gave to her.
<"Alright, let's go out to get some fresh air?"> said Archela invites Layha who is in control of their body, go outside to take a walk.
"Gakun~ I want to sleep pretty~" said Layha who did not care about Archela's words and instead chose to sleep.
<"Ugh, what can you do, you can take a break for a moment.... afterwards... let's take a walk outside?">
"Yes..."
****
Resfl Empire, a magnificent empire with many small kingdoms that became part of the empire. The empire that had just formed 28 years ago after the destruction of the kingdom of Lima. The government that produces slaves**** which is where human trafficking activities, the majority of which have been banned humanitarian.
"Hey...!!?"
A girl ran away breathless, running like she was being chased by something. The girl ran so fast that one day, someone pulled her arm until she got into a place.
"You, demon?"
"Um.. You could say yes, and no!" that's answer. Layha Namsaka's. During his 5-year stay, Archela took him flying to the Resfl empire, far from Archela's hiding place.
Now, in his remaining 2 years of consciousness, Layha Namsaka must carry out a mission from Archela to conquer the Resfl empire.
When viewed from Layha's point of view, the mission that Archela had given him was impossible to complete. Only with his newly awakened power would Layha have to conquer a large empire, coupled with several other kingdoms that were within the influence of the Resfl empire, the comparison of his strength was 1:5,000,000. Although Layha had awakened her demonic power, she had not understood at all about how to use it.
And now, he had been chased by the imperial guards because he had once again made a mess since he entered the empire, it was now safe because someone had pulled him into a secret hiding place.
"What is a demon like yourself looking for in this place? If you try to conquer this empire, I would rather advise you to surrender" said the man after questioning the truth about Layha who is a demon or not.
"Why is that?" ask Layha curiously.
"There is a story, where once there was a demon queen who intended to conquer the Resfl empire. Well, that's an old story, it happened about 200 years ago. At that time, the Resfl empire was still under the leadership of the emperor Haira. And the name of this empire used to be Haira Empire" he explained. A man in the typical dress of commoners, was someone who pulled Layha's arm.
"...." without answer, Layha looked at the man with begging dog eyes.
"Do you want to know the full story?" when the man said he would tell Layha his full story, Layha heard it...
"Of course!!!" Layha shouted excitedly at the man.
Eventually he will know the history of the devil who shared his body with him. But nevertheless... Of course it's not that easy.
<"You can know what you can know. It's not time for you to know who I really am!"> said Archela tightly from inside Layha.
'True as well.' Layha said in her heart.
They moved, because according to the man, the place they had been, was not suitable to talk about anything heavy. They went to an inn and rented a room there.
"Ethto,....."
"What?"
"Ah no.." beset by disturbing emotions, Layha, who realizes that the man seems to be trapping her, is forced to be patient until the man's bad intentions are revealed. Because if he doesn't, he won't get anything but, battered in the face of time.
"Lake in!" said the man after arriving in front of the inn room.
"Well.." with the condition of the heart that is increasingly agitated, Layha hopes that the man does not have bad intentions to him.
I hope that.
"Well, of course, a big piece of information is impossible for me to give to someone I don't know other than that person paying for it."
"...." - ".Layha just fell silent to the man's words while continuing to pretend innocence.
"You're the new demon? I think you're a passionate person because of your sexy style of dress."
"...." - ".Layha was getting more agitated because the man's speech seemed to be getting more and more into perverted things.
"Just one round... ok?"
"...." There was no answer, Layha just fell silent to the man's words without asking any questions until the man's business was over.
<"When you can pay him with money,"> said Archela from inside Layha's body.
'Where's the money from?! You didn't give me a penny!' layha said shouting in her heart to Archela as she kept her back to the man.
<"You can collect money just like you did before. Why don't you do it again? Don't-don't, you really want to...?">
'I'm not that kind of person!!!!"
"Miss...."
"imm?"
When the man called himself....
"I am not an easy person to break a promise..."
"Ba... Good then!" said Layha who was getting nervous about her current situation.
"You look funny when you try to pretend to be strong. In the original, you were so ashamed. Right?"
"....." Layha was silent again.
"Well, I shouldn't be playing girls anymore.I have a wife, please forget what I said."
"Mr...."
"All right, I'll tell you."
