Triple X System

At first when Kyle had heard those voices, it sounded so familiar. like he’d recognized them from somewhere before, but he didn’t want to believe it for some reasons. He was in hell, the most creepiest place alive. and not only was it filled with dark creatures, who could possibly alter their voices to confuse him. But this place was filled with a certain energy, that could drive one mad just from inhaling the air.

But looking closer, there was no way he couldn’t recognize his parents, even though they were now something a bit more than human.

”W-what happened?” Kyle asked with teary eyes, letting go as he stared at them.

”Looking.. c-captured.” They stuttered in a coarse husky voice, devoid of life.

”Of course! What was I thinking, am such a fool! They must’ve gone looking for me worried, and was then captured by a demon.” Kyle hit his head in frustration and anger, as not only had he been careless and weak to protect his women. But he’d also failed miserably to protect his parents too, and now they were literally in hell.

’It must’ve been the demon Lucifer sent from the hospital.’ Kyle theorized it was the same demon sent by Lucifer from the hospital, hunting them. Since it couldn’t get them because of Lilith’s help, it decided to turn to his parents and use them as bait to get him. But now that he was here, there isn’t any need for that anymore.

[Kyle, I don’t think the demon that was hunting you or even Lucifer himself knows your here.] Snow suddenly blurted out, making Kyle raise a brow.

’Are you for real right now? Even though the demon doesn’t know, then what about Lucifer huh? You said it yourself.. this is his domain and he’s the demon king, so he’s probably well alerted by now.’

[No. Even though he’s all powerful, he isn’t all knowing. Think about it, if he was all knowing then he would’ve long grabbed you and killed you on earth. Why go through the trouble of sending a demon, instead to hunt you and Lilith huh?] Snow said like a grumpy housewife, and Kyle could imagine her face with her folding her arms.

’Y-you have a point.’ It was true Lilith was the second most powerful demon, and she had a ton of powerful skills, one of which she used to protect and conceal their presence. But she was taken in and trained by Lucifer, so she definitely posses some of his skills. If Lucifer was truly all powerful and all knowing, then why didn’t he come for them himself? Why wait until they were in vaanderwood?

[Of course I do. Hmph! Am not just your helper for nothing you know?] Snow snorted a bit with an imaginary puffing. Rolling his eyes, Kyle was glad to have his inner voice back as he needed it in this perilous times.

’Alright then, but how do we get out of here?’ He asked, as there wasn’t any visible way he could see to get out of this sturdy cage, pulsing with demon energy.

’Huh?’ Feeling something touching his hair he turned, and that’s when he could see his mom slowly brushing his hair with her hand with a smile. While his dad straightened invisible lines on his clothes.

Tears built up in his eyes remembering the times he had with them on earth, before all this. It was fun, and he’d never change a thing in the world about it.

[Even though they’ve been exposed to demon energy and look like mindless zombies, it seems they’ve somehow managed to retain their human memories. Impressive.]

’Yeah, that’s the Connor family. Always being extra..’ Kyle slightly chuckled, shaking his head with a bitter smile. Placing his hands on their shoulders, he had a warm smile on his face.

”Mom, dad, I know you truly care about me deeply, but you don’t have to worry anymore. I can take care of myself, am not the little troublemaker you knew before.. well I am, just more matured now.” Kyle softly whispered, making them raise a brow.

”B-but, little baby..” xia stuttered, carresing his cheeks.

”I know mom am still your little baby, but am big and strong now. It’s my turn to protect you guys. You two worry too much and it’s a good thing, but it’s my turn to protect the both of you know.” Kyle smiled embracing them in a hug, to which they replied hugging him back.

[I never knew such a monster in bed could be such a softie.] Snow teased.

’Wait.. could you still hear my thoughts while you were inactive?’ Kyle inwardly asked, alarmed a bit by her words.

[I was never inactive. I just couldn’t communicate with you for some strange reason. I could still hear your thoughts, feel your emotions, and oh! Those thrusts were wild.] Snow complimentted in a sly cheeky tone, making Kyle’s face go a bit red from embarrassment.

’It was definitely much better when you were silent.’

[Yeah right you wish.] Snow joked to which they both laughed. Xia and Ron were confused hearing their son burst out in laughter, but they followed suit laughing their hearts out.

”Hey! keep it down in there you fucking low lives prisoners.” A goblin shouted clanging the metal bars, sending out small soundwaves piercing their ears, making them scream in pain.

”You fucking bastards!” Kyle screamed attempting to grab the goblin, but all he received was an excruciating pain as the creature scorched his guts, with a long strange brown staff.

[-5hp]

[Kyle are you okay?] Snow worriedly asked, seeing him crutch down to the ground. Xia and Ron were also besides, him gently patting him.

’Am fine snow, it’s just a small burn.’ Kyle inwardly said, as the wound was already healing at a rapid pace.

”Thanks mom and dad.” He smiled to which they smiled back, helping him up to his feet.

’I finally managed to stumble upon a legendary tier katana, and now it’s gone.’ Kyle sighed in frustration, annoyed by the fact his frozen ice dragon katana was now in the hands of those necrolites.

[Negative. The katana is still back at the cave. The necrolites didn’t bother taking it, deeming it as useless.]

’What? Are those little bastards just dumb, or full of pride.’ Kyle angrily growled, seeing such a legendary item treated like trash. According to the ranks of equipments, legendary grade items were top on the charts. Rarely a low level like him could find one as it was just too powerful, and expensive to obtain. But just like that, his luck took a turn for him and he found one.

[You may not know this Kyle. But demons don’t use beast weapons as they don’t suit their fighting style, abilities or skills.] Snow calmly said, making Kyle eye go wide a bit.

’B-but am a demon, and I can use the katana.’ He protested with a proud look, making snow roll her imaginary eyes.

[True.. but you weren’t born or created a demon, you were turned. Simply put it like this, demons are of three categories. Noble, which are the original demons, also called fallen ones. Turned, which are just like you, people or creatures turned into demons. And lastly created, underlings created by the demons who which to multiply the demon race, or simply acquire pets to do their dirty works.]

Listening to her Kyle couldn’t deny she had a point. He didn’t know much about demons, literally little bit, but he was learning thanks to his integrated system voice.

’So you’re saying am special.’

[In a kind of way yes. Humans naturally use beast weapons as it suits their abilities, skills, and fighting style. Beast weapons has a high affinity to humans than to demons, as to which dark weapons has a high affinity to demons than humans. The reason why you can use beast weapons, is probably because you were a human turned demon.] Snow explained.

’Just like Lilith. ’

[Exactly..]

Nodding, Kyle now had a brief idea more about demons and the weapons they used, which was different from beast weapons which humans used.

[+3 intelligence..]

’Huh? so that’s how that works.’ Kyle thought, staring at the system notification in his view.

’Maybe I should just try transformation. It’ll probably work since it’s my demon form, and I can’t use demon energy or my skills.’

[Or.. we could go for a more different approach.] Snow sneakily spoke, making Kyle raise a brow.

’Why do I get the feeling your getting more creepier.’

...

”Hey baldie! wanna go to the hell’s pit and get some hot chicks?” A goblin male holding the strange brown staff said, to another with a key around it’s neck.

”Nah! Those fucking chicks has extorted enough of my soul already.” He shrugged waving his hands.

”Come on man.. it’ll be just like old times. Hell! I’ll even pay for you with my soul.” The one with the strange staff said, nudging the formers shoulders.

”Ha.. I guess I can’t-”

”Ahhhhhhhhhhh!” A soul piercing scream escaped from a cell in front, making them clutch their head a bit.

”Damn it, these fucking low lives.. shut the fuck up!” The one with the staff snarled with murderous eyes. The screaming then stopped, but just as it turned another followed.

”Don’t you fucking make me come there, or am killing all of you!” It threatened, but the screaming didn’t stop. instead more followed, and soon every prisoners started screaming. Cries of pain, anguish, and rage echoing from the cells, living up to the name of the whispering cell of flames.

”That’s it!” They both grunted, going to the start of the problem. Opening the cell with the finger like bone key, they then entered with rage filled eyes.

”Now, which one of you bastards wanna die first?” They grinned evily, staring at them with murderous eyes.

”That would be me.” A much darker sinister voice said from behind them, making their bodies shudder from this omnious presence.
