<aside> 😈 “You have some nerve summoning the devil and then taking your own life."
Satoshi, who was just moments away from leaping off the roof of the building, startled backward and landed hard upon his buttocks.
“Watch out.... I own half of your life now that you've summoned me. If you die here, it wouldn't be worth all the trouble.”
“What? What? Who?”
The devil became irritated by Satoshi's astonishment.
“You climbed four flights of stairs to get here just now! Then down two, up thirteen, then down twelve, then up six more steps, paused for six minutes, then up six more steps to get to this rooftop. And ended this ritual with a long sigh.
You've cast the spell of my contract with you. I have seen it! I have heard it!”
No doubt.
The bullying at school had brought Satoshi here to end his life. But when it came time to face death, he flinched, losing his nerve. In trying to steel his nerves, Satoshi worriedly paced the stairwell -- which resulted in this accidental incantation.
"Oh, if you're the devil. Do me a favor! I can't take it anymore! I want revenge on all those who did this to me!Kill them! I want you to kill them all!”
The devil grinned.
“Typical. Humans are so shallow, aren't they? What kind of revenge would that be? Boring! Instead, let them suffer the pains of hell, let them linger in it!”
The devil had a point, though Satoshi's eyes glittered suspiciously at the devil's lure.
“What should I do ....?"
“Good question. But I know a way to make them suffer in hell. It's ......”
“It's ....?”
“You'll become so successful, they won't be able to utter a single word to you.I can see the pain and humiliation on their faces!You see, with my training, you'll have all the power, money, and influence you want! Everything and anything at your disposal!I'm going to give you a good, hard time tomorrow -- so be ready for it!”
“What? Success? Training?”
“That's right, I'm going to make you the King of All Mankind!I will make you so great that even Michael Jackson and Bill Gates will shudder!”
In spite of being coerced into this terrible contract, Satoshi felt strangely refreshed.
“I'm gonna get revenge on those bastards!”
The black Power Source of insinuating darkness pointed him toward life, not death.
“Please, please ....!”
”Mm! Oh, and don't forget that you've forfeit half of your lifespan to me.Now we just need to close the deal! Sign here!”
The terrible devil that would take half of Satoshi's life... He realized now that she seemed like... Megami.
“Satoshi Nakamoto.
Not a bad name!”
