Chapter 79: Reflection

"I was taken over by the Monster?" Desire spoke as he looked at the Unknown.

Although what happened with the Dungeon of Spirit of Fire and the key was crazy, that wasn't enough to shake Desire.

However, the fact that the Unknown is telling him that he was taken over by the Monster horrified him.

Although Desire didn't know in what way exactly, he just couldn't believe it.

"How is that possible?" Desire spoke as he tried hard to remember things.

Usually, he would always remember every single detail once his eyes saw something.

He would even know something just by feeling as long as he has consciousness, thanks to his Heavenly Demon Trait.

However, it seems that Desire couldn't remember anything happening like that as he spoke.

"I don't feel weird..."

If Desire were really taken over by the Monster, Desire's consciousness shouldn't even exist by now.

He shouldn't be able to think, see, or even move his body.

Hell, Desire shouldn't even be himself right now if that did really happen.

However, Desire couldn't find any wrong or damage to him.

He felt fine, and he felt like he could even go at a monster right now.

That was why it was weird.

Why is the Unknown saying that the Monster took over Desire's Vessel when nothing was wrong with Desire?

"Sigh. Everything's wrong ever since I woke up." Desire spoke as he shook his head.

Although the fact that he was taken over by the Monster was dangerous, Desire couldn't really do anything at this point.

After all, Desire didn't even know who the hell the Monster was.

Desire also didn't even know a single thing about Desire's Vessel.

How would he solve things when he didn't know about them?

That was why the only thing he could do right now was just to complain to the air.

However, that soon ended as he realized something.

"Now that I think about it, I don't really know myself."

What Desire said was the truth, and no one could deny it, not even himself.

After all, Desire didn't know anything about himself that it felt like Desire was a stranger to himself.

During the young age or childhood phase of a human, not knowing about oneself is pretty normal.

People live their lives and age naturally. It is only when one takes an adventure in their life and matures that they find out about themselves.

When they do, they find out about their passion, their likings, their fear, their love, pretty much everything about themselves.

There are even some people who create their best version after knowing that they are the worst versions of themselves.

That was why it isn't strange for a child not to know anything about oneself.

That is also the reason why Desire didn't really mind or thought much about it before.

After all, Desire is a human.

He, too, would grow, age, live his life, and only then would he find out about himself.

Although he didn't have parents to guide him when he is still a child, Desire was confident in finding the truth about himself.

He was confident that he would be able to learn things about himself.

After all, even though the time he lived was short, Desire has always lived alone.

Even if the Suckus or Jarina were right beside him as he grew up, Desire couldn't feel any sense of familiarity with them.

As much as he loves monsters, Desire was feeling the difference with their race.

He felt that he, a human, doesn't 'belong' with the Suckus.

If Desire had to compare it with something, it would be like a puzzle.

Although he fits perfectly in the picture, the piece called Desire doesn't match with the rest of the pieces.

That was why he was confident in himself, although he didn't show it much.

However, it seems his confidence and his thinking was wrong, as this incident proved it.

After all, even though the Unknown was telling the answer to Desire, he still couldn't understand a single thing about it.

Why? It was simple.

It was because Desire didn't know the question.

"Haaa." Desire breathed in and out when his thoughts got deep.

He then shook his head as he slapped his face with both of his hands.

Clap!!

The sound of his hands hitting his cheeks resounded out in the area, and Desire spoke while squeezing his face with his hands.

"This is no good at all."

Desire didn't like how he didn't know the question.

Things would have been solved already if he just knew that question, but since he didn't know, things got complicated.

However, it's not like Desire could help that part.

After all, Desire was born without his parents.

Being born without parents is the same as living your life while being blindfolded.

That is how harsh life is.

Desire could even be considered lucky as the Suckus race was there to back him up.

Well, it was mostly Jarina and her mother and the people he met in the village as well.

However, even those Suckus could not help Desire in learning about himself.

"Life is hard, huh." Desire shook his head when he said those words.

He didn't really mean those words.

Although life may indeed be hard, Desire didn't really believe in that shit.

After all, he could just correct things when it goes wrong.

And that was exactly what Desire planned to do from now on.

He would bend things to his way if he didn't like it.

He would change everything to his will if it were a pain to his ass.

He would destroy everything or everyone on his way if they meant harm to him.

That's what he has set out to do ever since he started practicing the Heavenly Demon Trait.

He wanted to get stronger, so people won't be able to talk back to him.

"That's right; nothing changed at all..."

Even the Monster who has taken over his Vessel is just another ant on his way.

"I will find out about you and destroy you!!"
