In the Silver Barony, specifically within the Baron's castle, Jamie was gazing at the night sky, intently observing the stars, while addressing the Deal Demon that was possessing the body of the maid, Emilia Wilton... before forcing him out of her with a mysterious power.
The demon cried out loudly, trembling in shock: "How! How did you know who I am?!" Jamie looked directly at him and said in a firm tone: "I know that the demons of the Hell Realm are each born with an extraordinary innate ability, and it is always tied to their demonic bodies." The demon snarled: "What do you mean, human?" Jamie replied calmly: "I... was a demon in my previous life." The demon burst into laughter, the sound of his chuckles filling the hall: "Ha! You're joking, right?"
But Jamie did not smile. Suddenly, he extended his hand and began absorbing the Deal Demon. The demon screamed violently, bloody tears streaming from his eyes: "Nooooo! Please... have mercy on me!! Damn you!!!" But Jamie closed his eyes and focused. He was gathering the demonic mana inside him with immense precision, merging it with the sacred mana he inherited from his mother, the pure demonic mana, and then the dragon mana that flowed through his bloodline.
Boom! The First Circle was completed. Jamie moved his hand, using Second Circle magic, and employed primal mana to move a teacup on the table. He said calmly, as if testing his ability: "Oh... that's a good development." Then he stood up and walked toward the mirror. He looked at himself and activated his extraordinary innate ability: The Eye of Wisdom.
A blue screen appeared before him, displaying:
Name: Jamie Silver

Jamie closed the screen, then sat quietly on the chair, saying to himself: "The Eye of Wisdom was my innate ability in my previous life." "With it, I could see everything: the past, the present, the future, and even different dimensions." "But now... I am extremely weak." "I can only use it once a day because it consumes a terrifying amount of mana." He paused for a moment, then continued with an inner questioning voice: "It's strange that my innate abilities are still bound to me, even though demon abilities are usually connected to their bodies, not their souls." "Could my ability have bound to my soul because it was special? Or perhaps... due to the level of power I reached in my previous life as the Demon King, Diablos?"
In the Weiser Viscounty, on a bitterly cold night inside a forest shrouded in shadows, Ceron Silver appeared walking alongside Viscount Weiser, with soldiers silently following behind them. Ceron said in a low voice, without looking back: "Hey, Viscount... because of the long journey, we will arrive in three or four days." "I heard your son is going to fight Jamie..." The Viscount replied coldly: "So? What do you want?"
Ceron gave a subtle, lopsided smile: "I don't want anything." "If Jamie doesn't win, I will take power, and you will get what you want from our deal." "As for if he wins... I will support him in ruling the barony." The Viscount laughed loudly, saying mockingly: "Do you really think Jamie, that weak little boy, will defeat my son? Hahaha!" Ceron slowly raised his head toward the sky, where the purple moon gleamed on the horizon, and said softly: "...I hope... I just hope..."
