Corrupted (Male Reader x Charlie) (BOOK 1)

A Façade

            Y/N's mark glowed bright like a lone star in the night sky. Alastor eyes peered at the foreign wound with an intrigued smile.

"You mind telling me about that little thing?" he said, ripping Y/N's shirt off to get a better view. He saw the black veins slowed in his body, slowly stretching across him, with a new color of charcoal to replace his normal flesh colored skin.

"Yeah, well you see..." Y/N started but realized there was no talking his way out of this one. "Fine, when I got dragged down here, the person who dragged me here slashed me with a scythe and I got this mark and kind of destroyed a city" he said, rubbing the back of his head, uncomfortable with revealing his dark secrets.

"You destroyed a city? And didn't invite me to WATCH?!" he said, ending the sentence in a static-like voice.

  "Wait, what? You're not mad that I decimated a city?" Y/N said shocked, then again noticing how he revealed his homicidal accident to an overlord of Hell.

  "I'm upset that you didn't invite me to the show. That's top notch entertainment. Mind telling me Y/N, what city did you decimate?" he said with interest, hoping to see this side of Y/N in the future.

"Uh, Sinville" he said, grabbing his shirt and putting it back on.

  "Sinville? Haven't heard of that one, probably because you killed it!" he said with a small chuckle. Y/N then felt more pain and the veins spread onto his face and all the way to his hands.

"My boy! What do you need?" Alastor said, worried he would destroy the hotel, demolishing his prime entertainment. Then he began to put too and too together. He destroyed a city when he changed, presumably for chaos, but there had to be something else he craved. It clicked. Alastor grabbed a vial of demon blood and shoved it down Y/N's throat, and his now turned white hair turned normal, and the veins retreated. Y/N took a calm breath and looked up at the Radio Demon.

          "Thanks" he said, getting up and checking his wounds, making sure there wasn't any strands coming from it. "What was that?" he said, dusting off his pants.

"Just demon blood. I figured since you craved chaos that you also enjoyed demon blood, which I happen to have a lot of" Alastor said, walking with Y/N back outside.

  "Why do you have a lot?" he asked, opening the door.

"Ask the donors!" he said with a laugh, and interrupted by Charlie hugging him.

"Y/N? Are you ok? What did Alastor do?" she said, grasping his face and examining him, trying to see if he was still in pain.

  "I'm fine! Alastor actually helped me get rid of my sickness" he said, smiling with a fake grin along with Alastor, the overlord knowing that just by Y/N's voice he wanted to keep this secret.

"Alright, so you're good? And also what's with the skin?" Vaggie asked, concerned but not as emotional about it.

  "I honestly don't know. But I'm ready to get back to training" he said, but Charlie put her hand on his chest, stopping him.

  "No, you need a break" she said, grabbing his arm and bringing him inside.

"Break from what?" Alastor said, curious with whatever Y/N, this unique one of kind being was doing.

  "He was trying to get powers" Vaggie said, closing the door behind them.

"You want powers? Well why didn't you ask" Alastor humming as he rubbed his hands together.

"Huh?" he said as Alastor blasted him with some light blue swirls, blasting into the human/demon. He stopped, and Y/N took a breath.

"What did you just do?" Charlie said, helping Y/N up.

"Well, I know someone who helps in crafting powers and he owed me a favor a while back and he taught me his craft" he said, taking Y/N outside.

  "So what did you give me?" he asked, looking around the area.

  "Just think cold thoughts" he said with a chuckle. Then, Y/N thought of cold thoughts and something happened, ice particles appeared from his hands and created a giant icicle.

'Woah' Y/N thought as he had realized Alastor gave him ice powers.

  "You could just give him powers?" Vaggie yelled, understanding that their research was for nothing.

"Of course! I just didn't know he wanted some" Alastor said, before going back inside.

"Well, looks like today went right" Charlie said as they all headed inside.
