"Wake up, breakfast is ready . " A loud feminine voice shouted through the door .

Simon woke up from his slumber, yawning as he tried to get out of bed .

"Diana, I will be there soon, just give me a minute . " Simon spoke as he stretched his back .

Ever since his spontaneous resolution, Simon felt like he was truely enlightened . He didn't feel as much connection to his novel as he once did . He simply lived as if he was a person of this world . He worked everyday to grow his strength, reusing his old techniques . One of these techniques was of course the [Wraith's Talons] .

But this time, he knew he was no G.o.d power genius . He has no pills, he only has his knowledge and his own judgement . With the power of his own self, he had already decided to work until he can no longer improve . This would be how he can live his best life .

But of course, that is not all to Simon's new life .

Simon was born into the house of Crypts in the Demon World . The Crypts bloodline is one of pure n.o.ble heritage, tracing their family tree all the way back to Sata Crypts; Blood Monarch of Blades . Through this n.o.ble bloodline, he gained the ability to become a Devil even at birth . Although, this didn't instantly promote him to a high rank visionary .

His body was in autopilot for the last 16 years, where he made no contact with the outside world and only worked on building his foundations . At this point in time, he had finally gained control for an entire month and had grown to become a 3rd rank visionary .

This progress of course would only be considered as great, for his age group, but Simon knew that there are monsters in his age group that are already 4th rank . It's all a matter of talent . And Devils just have so much, even with the constant training, Simon could only amount to a 3rd rank .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

However, Simon is no ordinary Devil .

'Xander hasn't talked since I got here . Shame . I kinda miss the guy, even though I only knew him for a little while . '

Simon ended up being born into the body of Simon Crypts, the 4th son of Karlus Crypts . His older siblings were already n.o.bles of their own house by now or they were still attending Blood Academy .

He had apparently been born into a decent family, meaning that there was no infighting or schemes against each other . This however, didn't mean that he received much outward affections . His father desired for him to supplement his near mediocrity with effort . This meant that Simon lived a life of pure devilish pain as he trained his body and mind to grow accustomed with the true nature of devildom .

'Effort is key . '

Although his body was in autopilot, he could feel every sting and bruise . Nothing was easy anymore .

"F**k the plot . " Simon routinely whispered .

'Just have to remember an important thing, never become fixated with the plot . It's like Santa, non-existent . '

Simon left his room in his day clothes, entering a grand dining room as he walked Brough a long and wide corridor . Inside were 6 other similarly dressed young devils and a single adult devil enjoying a dark coloured drink .

"Simonifirac, take a seat . I have important news for everyone here . "

Simon took a seat at where the other young devils, pouring himself a cup of wine .

"Well then, my children . . . " The older demon spoke .

"Jazukal has been admitted to Blood Academy as the headmaster's personal disciple . Please tap your horns in congratulations . "

Simon remembered that tapping one's horns was a sign of respect or congratulations in his novel . A small detail that he wrote in because he thought that horns should actually mean something .

"Congratulations twin brother . " Simon spoke as he took his nail of his horn .

"Thank you, twin brother . " Jazukal bowed .

From the time he had taken his first breath, Jazukal could only see his twin's back . He was motivated to become strong by the unending efforts that Simon's autopiloted body had put into his training . This helped Jazukal find his calling in the element of fire, unlocking a genius potential within him .

And for the first time, his brother had congratulated him .

"Let it be known that Jazukal is the future of the Crypts family, he will be the one to inherit the House of Crypts and be named Lord Crypts . I myself can only amount to becoming a 7th rank Devil, but Jazukal has the potential to become a powerful 8th rank . He may even become an Blood-"

"Father, I wish to duel Jazukal for the right to become the heir to the house!" A slightly younger devil shouted .

"Telestion, you are but a 1st rank of average talent, your brother can kill you within a minute . " Karlus said as he waved his hand in rejection .

"It is best for you to work hard and build your own branch house . Jazukal has already been chosen and therefore the sole heir . "

Simon relaxed himself on his chair as he attentively listened to the conversation . All of the training that he had gone through had helped him remain calmer, but also left him a bit more distant when compared to his previous self . Although, at heart, he was still a writer . In fact, Simon had taken his off-time to write a smaller project . This project could be considered his masterwork . Unlike his novel, this project is one of slower pace and includes a plot that he described as 'it makes sense . '

The atmosphere around him felt homely yet intense . He enjoyed the thrill of drama, however, he did not enjoy his younger brother's annoying challenge, considering he obvious strength difference .

"Learn from Simonifirac, he understands what it means to be humble yet hardworking . " Karlus said as he directed his gaze towards Simon .

"Unflinching, powerful demeanour, great posture, doesn't m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.e and waste his body's nutrients like you and your younger brothers! Look at him! The pinnacle of manners and n.o.ble behaviour!"

Simon smirked inwardly .

'A refined mind requires refined behaviours . '

"I have hope that he will create a branch house that can craft its own legacy, unlike some of you, that still cannot even grasp the concept of etiquette . "

"It is pitiable that Simonifirac lacks the potential of Jazukal . Even all of that effort will never get him to overtake Jazukal . "

'Talent can be supplemented with knowledge and experience, it turns out I have quite a lot of both . Even if I lack talent, I will use my brain to grow in strength . As it turns out, masturbation lowers potential and growth in the Adulthood Ceremony, so necessary sacrifices are needed . As to why it is so bad? Well, Devils have a certain seal on each and every one of them, knowledge of this was lost millennias ago, and it is unlocked the moment that a devil climaxes . Cool detail right? Without a working seal, a devil loses a huge amount of benefits from the Adulthood Ceremony . '

The Adulthood Ceremony, a rite of pa.s.sage that unlocks a n.o.ble devil's true potential and cause exponential growth within them . As it turns out, not everything is about pure talent, some benefits can only be gained through restraint and focus . Simon didn't have any special abilities right now, nor did he have a physique, but his mental strength is unrivalled within his age group .

As to what actually happens in the ceremony, no one that hasn't gone through it know until they have done it, unless their name is Simonifirac Crypts .

However, Simon won't be able to do this rite of pa.s.sage for another 2 years since it has the age requirement of 18 years . So much for a quick and easy life .
