Flying in the sky was very exg at first however the moment the strain on my back started to settle in, my joy slowly turned into exhaustion.

  "That's pretty normal on the first try. Don't be disced." At least her fort is helping albeit a bit.

  "Are we there yet?" I asked, if Serafall answered no, then I would ask for a rest.

  "We're just a few minutes away now. You see his boratory from here. Since you're practically a Devil now, your eyesight should be able to see more clearly and farther." True to her words, I stared at the distan front of me, and at first, I saw nothing but an expanse of green trees and nature however, once my vision adjusted and adapted, I finally saw the boratory that Serafall was talking about.

  It was breathtaking to see it. Standing in front of me was a sight that I hadn't seen before. It was a huge white dome with a radius of 500 meters!

  If you think a 500-meter radius is small, then think twice because that's almost as rge as a small town! sidering this is just a siructure housing a stist, it was impressive to see such a building actually exists.

  The white dome may look pin oside but I'm sure the inside is the opposite. Aside from the white dome, the structure's surroundings were also a sight worth seeing. The viity of the dome was quite simir to Serafall's Sitri territory, it was covered in trees and lush grasses that you wouldn't expect to see in a pce filled with devils.

  Additionally, my senses were tellihat there was a barrier surrounding the entire pce, probably the same barrier that Serafall was talking about earlier, the ohat could block teleportation, we might even be ihe barrier right now for all I know!

  "We're safe here, we d now. Ajuka is not known to have guards all around the pce, he's the kind of a person who would rather stay at his beloved home thaablish unication with someone." Hearing her roast the poor man behind his back again, I couldn't help but feel pity for this Ajuka guy.

  What kind of sin did he it to suffer such stabs behind his back?

  Landing after Serafall, only then did I realize just how tall the white dome actually was! Because my perspective was bird's view earlier, I failed to notice its height.

  But now that I'm on the ground, it's like I'm staring at two Empire State Buildings stacked against each other!

  How did these devils even mao build something like this? Do they perhaps have devil stru workers?

  "What are you doing back there staring for? e on." Thankfully, I was snapped back to reality by Serafall who had already walked quite a distance away from me.

  Chasing after her, we then arrived at the entrance of the white dome. It was that easy to get close to the structure.

  No guards, no devil patrolling, or anything like that. It's like visiting an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere.

  Either this Ajuka guy is an idiot for not hiring prote sidering he's a stist who ied stuff that could turn humans into devils or he's just that fident in his strength in case there are malicious intruders.

  I would prefer the tter since Serafall vouches for this man.

  Swoosh!

  The white metallic doors slid open, releasing a handful of steam in the process.

  Walking inside, my mouth went wide open as soon as my eyes sed the interior of the building.

  Where am I? Why does this pce look like an alien mothership?!

  The surroundings were full of stuff that I couldn't fully expin. All I know it's a bunch of advaeological things that humanity could only dream of reag.

  Screech!

  Immediately getting into a fighting stance, I searched my eyes around and saw an animal trapped inside a rge gss tube where a few hologram dispys could be seen.

  The said animal couldn't even be described as one. I would prefer to call it a monster instead. Unlike animals, this monster bore features that scream deadly!

  Its rge cws scratched the gss tube several times with , the disgusting sharp and pointy bones all lined up starting from its shoulders down to its tailbone.

  This monster kind of reminds me of WildMutt from Ben 10, except it was fused with Abomination from Hulk.

  "What is that thing?" I muttered a question to myself, which I purposely muttered loud enough for Serafall to hear so she could a.

  "Oh, that? I saw that in an animal diary! Though it looks a bit different. It was a-" Before Serafall could answer and finish her sentence, she was interrupted by an exhausted voice behind us.

  "-An Artificial Cerberus."

  Surprised, we quickly made a swift turn around and finally saw the source of the answer.

  It was a tall man with slicked-back green hair, wearing what I assume to be a b coat, looking at the two of us with a drained look.

  "What are you doing here again, Serafall? Look, whatever you're about to ask me to do and go with you, my answer is still no." Ign my presehe green-haired man only spoke to Serafall.

  'Why does this guy look like he wants to die already?' I secretly muttered to myself, the appearance of the man who I assumed to be Ajuka.

  His exhausted face along with a b coat was already enough for a ten-year-old to guess, not to mention he seems to be the only one in this pce.

  "Ajuka! It's so good to see you! It's been a long time since we st saw each-"

  "We just saw each other yesterday." Ajuka interrupted.

  "Gagkh!" Not expeg such a response, Serafall jokingly made an expression like she unched in the chest.

  "O-Okay. Maybe not a long time. But it doesn't matter! There's a reason why I'm here!"

  "Sigh, what is it? Aoy to py with? If so, I already prepared another one fo—" Just as Ajuka was about to turn around to grab the said toy, he was interrupted by Serafall.

  "Nope! I'm not here for that! I want to introduce you to Chamber right here!" Finally given the y preseo be finally aowledged, I was about to extend my hand for a handshake.

  "Oh. Hi." Only for the man himself to simply nod his head at me and say a single word before turning around to resume whatever he's currently doing.

  "Uh. Hello?" Now that my hand was extended awkwardly, I could only scratch my head and wave it at the guy's back.

  I'm not sure if the guy is being rude or something but I just hope it's not the former.

  "No no no! Ajuka e back! You 't just casually dismiss him! He's important!"

  "How important is he that it requires 3 minutes and 45 seds of my precious time?" Stopping in his tracks, Ajuka replied without turning around.

  "Because he's my new friend! And not just any friend! He's my best friend!" Proudly yelling back, I was stunned.

  'Oi, you're supposed to introduce me as the first devil-reinated human in front of the ior himself! Why does being your friend seem much more important than that?!' I quietly yelled inside my mind. W if there's something wrong with this girl's head.

  "Really? Good for you then. Someone will finally share my burden."

  'Am I seeing things or that a tear that rolled down from his cheek?' I blinked my eyes and rubbed them profusely.

  "And he's also a human who just turned into a devil thanks to your iion!" The moment Serafall yelled this, Ajuka quickly disappeared from his pd reappeared directly in front of me.

  Uo move my body, I raised my head and saw the excitement and eagerness in Ajuka's eyes. The exhaustion and weariness seemed to have turned ent.

  'What is wrong with these devils?!'

  "e with me, Chamber." Before I or Serafall could react, my shoulder was grabbed by Ajuka ah disappeared to God know-gah! Fuck that stings!

  o self, use Lucifer's name instead.

  ***

  By the time I regained my senses, I found myself sitting on a seat while Ajuka, with his white coat fluttering, was running several tests on my body.

  I could feel the tip of the needle pierg through the skin in my forearm directly through the bloodstream as Ajuka proceeds gathering a dosage of my blood.

  "What exactly are you doing?" I asked, having the trauma of the Marvel Universe and the cliche plot of ing, I was wary of having my blood taken.

  "I want to test your devil blood, to see if you still retain some of your human traits enes." Answered Ajuka without raising his head to look at me, simply immersed in a traption that looked simir to a puter that came from the future.

  Did this guy i puters ba the Marvel universe too?

  "So, am I like quarantined?" I asked with a small hint of fear. Am I about to be stu hell for the rest of my life?

  "Quarantined? You mean Isoted?"

  "Yeah, something like that." That's funny, some words ba my world haven't been ied here yet.

  Thinking of iing, maybe I could take this opportunity to produventions that are a resounding success ba my world like Smartphones, wait no, that's too advanced, maybe something like light bulbs or something.

  "No, you won't be isoted. In fact, I'm already doh you, whenever you want, you leave now. As a matter of fact, I'd appreciate it if you take Serafall and leave my boratht now, I hate w with the thought that there are other people in my b."

  I'm not sure if he rudely meant those words or that's just his way of speaking. Hopefully, it's the tter.

  "Before I leave, I ask you a question?" Seeing the ce to finally inquire about something that has been bugging me for a while, I spoke.

  "Sigh. What is it?" Sighing, Ajuka turo look at me.

  "Is there any way I turn back to being human again?" I gulped, hopefully he won't take offeo my question, after all, such question might came out as if I dislike being part of their race.

  Thankfully, Ajuka's rea says enough that he's not that kind of person.

  "…I don't know yet, devil genes are far more powerful than human's, not to mention, turning into devil involves iing Devil energy inside a human's body soul, but the same ot be said vice versa, Huma have anything simir to a Devil energy that could be ied inside a devil. So I hate to break this to you but it is impossible to bee human again." Shaking his head with an answer, my face sunk.

  I should've expected su answer but it still paihat I will no longer bee human.

  It doesn't sound that bad, right? Maybe someday iure, I'll be the one finding a way instead.

  "…Last question." I coughed.

  "Yes?" Once again bearing his previous monotone expression, Ajuka faced me.

  "…Where's the exit?" I wryly smiled. From the movement on Ajuka's eyebrows, I could already tell he was annoyed by my question. Well, you 't bme me when we just magically appeared in this b earlier.

  ***

  After thanking Ajuka who 'kindly' showed me the way back to where we left Serafall, I saw the aforementioned sitting on a couch with a bored expression.

  Upon seeing my presence, her face beamed up in happiness as she tip toed towards me.

  How cute.

  "ChamCham! You're finally back! How is it? Ajuka wasn't th on you is he? Just say the word and this magical devil will show him a lesson!" After saying those words, she flexed her arm as if she has a muscle.

  I was about to answer her question when my braiered what she just called me earlier.

  Wait!? ChamCham?!

  Seeing me froze, Serafall tilted her head in fusion. She stepped forward in front of me and stared directly at my face.

  Who wouldn't be? This is a first time someone called me by a made up niame, not to mention he ChamCham is.

  How and why did she made up of that niame for me!?

  "S-Serafall, please don't call me that." I forced a smile on my face as my face ractically beggi this point.

  "What do you mean? You mean ChamCham?"

  Crack!

  "T-That. Yes."

  "Hehe~ ChamCham?" As if finding my tickle, Serafall bore a teasing smile as she repeated the niame a few more times.

  By the end of her satisfa, I was now left staring at the sky with an expression that screams 'Why am I still here?'.

  "Chamber? You still there?" Said Serafall as she waves her hand in front of my face.

  "….Sigh. Let's go." Sighing to myself, I finally let go of it, at least she went back to calling me Chamber instead of ChamCham.

  "Let's go back to your world, ChamCham!" She happily tinued.

  "Ugh."
