My Angel system

Ella was busy reading when she saw Luis walk into the reading section carrying lots of books in his hands.

"Finally found them," Luis said, dropping the books on the table.

"What are those books for?" Ella asked. "Are you going to read all of them now?"

Luis paused for a while before answering.

"No, just the important ones," Luis said as he started searching for the books which might help him out with his research.

While he was doing this Ella grabbed one of the books which he had tusked aside.

"A fantasy novel about Angels." She said.

Dropping the first book she picked up another one.

\'Why is he looking into Angel-related books?\' She wondered.

She later came across a book that had the title. \'Angels in disguise how to detect one\'

\'Does he plan on catching an Angel?\' She thought.

She chuckled inwardly because of how ridiculous it would be if that was true because everyone knew that there were no Angels on earth.

She had opened the book and started reading the contents.

The first chapter reminded her of a certain scene that happened in the class.

"Angels are irresistibly attractive." She read with a mutter.

Luis himself had taken interest in a book that had the title. \'The similarities between an Angel and a Demon.\'

After reading the book Luis had learned about the similarities between these two contradictory races.

Angels and demons have similar skill powers like compel, mind read and unmerited Favor but the difference was that demons only had the fire ability while Angels had different abilities depending on their area of specialization, some Angels even had more than one ability. And an Angel like Zillah had access to many.

Luis wouldn\'t have easily believed all of this if it wasn\'t for the fact that he knew he was somewhat an Angel.

Ella had instantly forgotten that her prior reason for coming out today was to have a nice walk around and check out certain things.

But Luis still had the walk-in mind as he was getting ready to leave.

"Are you going to bring more Angel-related books?" Ella asked Luis after seeing him stand up.

"No, I thought we came out for a walk?"

"Oh, so you still remember that." She said with a smile.

"Yes, let\'s go," Luis said, making his way towards the exit.

"Aren\'t you going to return these books?" Ella asked.

"Don\'t worry they\'ll clear it," Luis said without even looking back.

Ella looked at the mess they had made of the table, she would have loved to clean it up but she had to catch up to Luis now.

"Hey wait for me." She said heading for the exit.

A few minutes after they had left a fairly tall and pale man came to check on their table.

\'Why would someone make a mess like this here?\'

He picked up one of the books and then picked up another.

\'Looks like the person was researching Angels.\' The man thought with a grin on his face.

He left the books and walked to the counters which were stationed at the north exit where the receptionist stayed.

"I want to see the footage of the last person that was on table 77." He told the woman who was behind the counters.

"Ok, sir." The woman said.

She brought out a large tablet and handed it to the man.

Looking at the screen the man had a smile on his face.

\'Bingo.\'

Luis and Ella had walked further out of school and now Luis wished he had worn a jacket like Ella because he was feeling cold.

\'This reminds me of the first day we came here.\' He thought.

"Hey look at a snack shop," Ella said pointing at a small shop.

This place was just like another city where almost everything was available but the thing was that Luis didn\'t know where they were, even Tammy didn\'t seem to recognize the place when they arrived.

Both of them grabbed a chocolate bar each and continued their walk.

"Do you know the name of this place?" Luis asked.

Ella shook her.

"I don\'t know, I came here through a teleporter and I\'m guessing you and everyone else did the same way." She replied.

"Yeah, but I just don\'t understand why they would keep our location a secret from us."

"You know how some kids can\'t keep their mouths shut, they may go telling people about the place and then demons will show up and burn it down again like last time."

"I know but that demon didn\'t just burn down the school."

"How do you know that?" Ella asked as they approached a bench in the street.

Luis paused as Ella sat down on the bench.

"I was the reason the school got burnt down."

"What?" Ella missed her bite on her chocolate causing some of it to spill on her gown.

She had many thoughts going through her mind now.

\'Is he the demon?\' She thought. \'That would make sense since it got burnt down on his first day.\' She thought forgetting that, that was also her first day.

"Relax, I\'m not a demon."

Luis had seen Ella\'s reaction after he spoke and was just curious to hear what was going through her mind but he just didn\'t expect her to think that he was a demon.

"The demon was after me." He said sitting beside her.

"Why?" Ella asked, confusion clear on her face.

"Do you remember your nice vice principal?" Luis said, referring to what she had said sometime.

"Yeah, Mr. Raph, I heard he died in the fire."

"Who told you that crap!" His voice had gotten a little harsh, startling Ella a little bit.

"I mean who told you that?" He said this time with a lowered voice.

"That\'s what they told everybody."

Luis paused for a while wondering why the school had come up with a lie regarding Raph\'s disappearance, and that was when he started to reason who Raph was in the first place because that was clearly not his real face.

"I don\'t know if he did anything to the real Raph or he had disguised himself from the beginning but that guy was a demon," Luis said.

"Demon?"

"Yes."

Luis went on to tell her about what had happened after Raph had called him out of class that day.

Ella had a look of disbelief on her face after hearing what really happened.

The school had kept the truth from the students because they were afraid that the children may feel insecure thinking that a demon may be with them without them even realizing it.

Tammy knew this and that was why she hadn\'t told anybody yet but Luis just had to make someone realize the reality of everything.

"Weren\'t you meant to keep this a secret from everyone?" Ella asked surprised as to why Luis had decided to tell him this.

"I don\'t know if you paid attention to what I told you but that demon was clearly after me."

"Yes, but why?"

"That\'s what I want to find out."

"And how do I come in?"

"Help."

"How can I possibly help you find out why a demon was after you?"

"Not now but we will start by finding out where we are," Luis said looking at the guards who were standing at the edges all over the place, it was clear that they didn\'t want anybody to go over that area.

"Ok but there\'s no way you are getting past those guys," Ella said pointing backward with her thumb.

"Just trust me and agree to help me."

Ella hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Ok, but I hope we don\'t get in trouble."

[ Quest Updated ]

[ First Ally: Ella Jones ]

Luis was surprised to receive this message out of the blue.

\'Ally? But she only agreed to help me find out why a demon was after me.

Luis had been trying to get Ella to agree to something like this but he was afraid because that question would startle her, so this was the best he could come up with but he didn\'t know it would count.

While he was browsing through the books at the library he picked up one that had the title \' How Zillah stopped the demons.\' and that was when his system started going crazy.

[ Ultimate Quest received ]

[ Lucifer is still around and scheming evil, as the only Angel on earth you are a trump card in stopping him ]

[ But to defeat Lucifer you cannot do it alone, gather your allies and comrades build your army and stop him ]

[ Quest Reward ]

[ ???? ]

\'Is this thing crazy, how do you expect me to do this? I\'m only seventeen.\' He complained to the system but he didn\'t get any reply.

Right now the system had told him that he had obtained Ella as an Ally.

\'Does it mean that she\'s willing to follow me.?\' Luis thought. \'Or is it more trust-related?\'

[ 30 EXP granted ]

Now, this was a message Luis could smile about.

\'30 EXP for getting an ally?\' Luis thought how easily he could level up by getting allies but would it be as easy as Ella\'s.

"Hey!" Ella yelled after Luis had remained silent for a while without moving.

"What\'s your plan on getting past those guards?" She said, "I\'m just as curious as you." She said with a smile.

Luis smiled back.

\'I just hope this doesn\'t affect her.\' He thought as he raised his attraction to 60%.
