Title: Champion of the Twin Gods
Effect: Enhances likability for races with Asmodian Heritage. Enhances effect of healing spells by 10%. Chance to execute enemies under 50% health by 5%.
Equinox's mind was blown once more for he got a title that gave him an execute chance. Well, Abaddon ain't the god of death for nothing. It was not overpowered since it did not give out a flat execute chance but it required a condition to trigger which balanced the title's effect in Equinox's opinion.
Now that he has verified everything, he was finally ready to check the area he was in. He was about to go out the door when he suddenly saw his reflection. He just looks like his human avatar but his skin has a blue skin tone with runic symbols etched into his skin in a symmetrical manner since the runes are of lines and shapes. He also has two horns located just above his ears.It is cylindrical in shape about 2 inches in length and 4 inches in circumference. He has light blue hair which changed from his previous black colored hair that he has set with his human avatar.
He then suddenly remembered Sirius and hurriedly summoned him.
"Summon: Sirius" Equinox chanted the a magic circle appeared on the ground and there Sirius emerged.
Name: Sirius
Species: Dog(Demon Lupus Strain)
Lvl: 6
HP: 120/120
Evolution: Possible(Expand)
Sirius looked at the new image of his tamer and felt an instinct to bow. His bloodline must have reacted to his tamer's new form.
"It seems nothing happened to you Sirius. Oh thank goodness." Equinox said while suddenly patting Sirius' head which the dog did not mind.
The duo then went outside and could not believe what they have witnessed. Outside was buildings of strange shapes with closer inspection was clearly carved stone building. The rocks that the buildings were carved from had this illumination that gives it an ethereal feel. The lights coming out from the rocks are reminiscent of the stars in the sky which greatly increased the aesthetic of the place. Suddenly a quest notification showed up.
●Quest Notification●

Equinox then looked at his surroundings and saw other Imps like him but with darker color hair which kind of piqued his curiosity but just went on his way to what looks like the village elder's house.
He reached a cave structure bigger than the other ones that he has come across. He was about to go inside when suddenly he heard a voice from an armored individual which he can guess is a guard.
"You there what is your business here" the guard said.
"I am Equinox.I am asking if this is the village elder's house because I am in need of guidance." Equinox answered.
The guard then scanned him from head to toe before telling Equinox to follow him. They went inside the structure and at what looks like a hall stood an old imp that gives off an aura of great wisdom. The old imp's line of sight went to the guard and then landed on Equinox. When the old imp's sight landed on Equinox, his eyes suddenly bulged for a moment then returned to normal. No one caught the change of expression that the old imp made. The guard and Equinox reached the location of the old imp.
"I'm sorry for interrupting you Village Elder but this young imp asks for your guidance" the guard said.
"It is fine. I am not irked by your interruption. You may leave to tend to your duties while I entertain the young lad" the elder said.
The guard bowed then left to return to his post. The village elder then faced Equinox and greeted him with a warm smile.
"Welcome young lad, I am the village elder of the town of Quazar located in the area called the Paradox Plane. My name is Ascalor." the village elder said.
