The change inside Victor's body happened dizzyingly fast. His hair, which used to be both blonde and silver, now was only silver, just like his beard. But somehow the wrinkles on his face faded instead of changing in the negative direction like his hair.
"Gun Devil? Didn't think there'd be a class like this."
Victor didn't expect to awaken a class that matched his career like that. Though it was a bit lacking since he could only use guns, not rockets or other higher-damage weapons.
The ability was described pretty simply: he could turn any part of his body into a gun. As for what kind of gun, that depended on his current knowledge and strength.
He pointed his index finger forward, and his finger immediately turned into a gun barrel, firing a shot through a house pillar.
"Hmm… The power increases with my strength, huh? That's interesting."
Victor smirked, but deep in his eyes flashed a hint of cruelty. The ones opposing him... It was time for them to leave their bodies behind.
"It's weird that Lucifer suddenly wants to become savior… But whatever, just help him as much as I can. The dirty work he doesn't wanna do, I'll lend him a hand. Once I've prepared a team of awakened people, I'll report the results."
Even though now it was certain that after this life ended, his soul would officially 'join the ranks'. But that didn't mean he'd stop working. Laziness wasn't how he lived.
He took a drag from his cigar and calmly walked out of the room. His overall aura after awakening had risen another level, making his subordinates stare in awe.

Scarlet's apartment had three doors, and now two of them had been kicked in. The only one she could still open and close was the bathroom door.
"My place now looks really…"
Looking at the mess everywhere, Scarlet felt stressed because she didn't know where to even start cleaning. What kind of bad luck did she run into today? It was honestly exhausting her to death.
"Both Dad and Lucifer really can't put my mind at ease. I hope they both don't do anything too awful."
She didn't know why, but it seemed like her fate fit really well with 'villains'. Her father was very good to her, but she knew Victor was extremely cruel to his enemies. And Lucifer… what decent thing could she ask from a demon king?
Just thinking about Lucifer brought that handsome yet extremely annoying face into her head, and she immediately shook her head like crazy.
"Damn it, why would I find that bastard handsome?"
The more she spoke, the smaller her voice got. Her face had turned red without her knowing when. Maybe Lucifer's behavior looked like a mess, but his level of handsomeness could totally lighten his crimes.
As soon as she mentioned Lucifer, he suddenly appeared and scared her. In his hand, he carried some strange zombie she didn't recognize.
"Didn't think this whole building only had three zombies total. So I had to go outside to find this thing. Shoot it."
Lucifer said and then held the zombie up in front of him. Clearly he wasn't afraid she'd miss and hurt him instead.
"No."
"Huh?"
Scarlet suddenly refused, and he couldn't understand why. Based on his observation, she shouldn't be the kind of weak person who's afraid to kill a zombie.
"My dad said using firearms can't awaken."
She said and then forced herself to stand up. She didn't know what cream Lucifer had used on her wound, but it worked pretty well. It still hurt, but it was way better than before.
"Can you take it out of my room? Killing it here would be messy…"
While talking, she saw the other headless zombie corpse in the room and fell silent. Her room was already this dirty, so what difference would a little more dirt make? She was probably going to move out anyway, so screw it…
How could she screw it? She'd lived in this room for years, so she had some attachment to it. Right now she was extremely annoyed.
She grabbed a dumbbell and used it to smash the zombie's head in extremely brutally, even Lucifer was stunned.
It wasn't that he couldn't react to her speed. It's that he didn't expect her to say one thing and do another like that.
Zombie blood splattered everywhere, even landing on Lucifer's face, making him wince in disgust. This stuff didn't harm him, but the smell was unbearably foul.
"You fucking want another spanking, huh?"
Lucifer's eyelid twitched in annoyance. For a lazy guy addicted to gaming who rarely stood under the sun like him, showering was obviously something he did very rarely.
Yet now he was forced to shower because of this goddamn stinky mess, and he had no mood left to play games.
But Scarlet wasn't paying attention to him. She had her eyes closed and was sinking into the feeling of her body changing. Her long, fiery red hair suddenly lifted as if blown by wind. Her whole body was covered in harmonious flames with no heat at all.
She pointed her finger at the ceiling, and a glowing red magic circle appeared up there. From that place, a fire phoenix flew out.
Its size wasn't very big, probably because her current strength was only at a newly awakened level. Right now its height was much shorter than hers, and its wingspan wasn't even as wide as her bedroom.
Scarlet opened her eyes, and from her amber gaze, a brilliant flame flickered just like the fire phoenix's.
"What's your class?"
Lucifer asked just for the sake of asking, but looking at the signs, he could already guess at least seventy percent.
"It's Fire Phoenix Summoner. Ha ha ha, my current strength is several times stronger than before. I'm not afraid of you anymore."
Feeling that her butt wound healed completely in an instant, her confidence skyrocketed. She then raised her middle finger 'friendly' toward Lucifer and smirked arrogantly.
