Chapter 15: Life's Just Unfair

In the large bed of the guest room, Satou slept peacefully. After an entire week of drinking blood, killing a single maid in the process, he finally stopped and fell asleep.

Light peered through the window of the room, and the glare woke him from his slumber. He got up in a daze and looked around.

“Good Morning, young master.”

A single black haired maid bowed, and greeted him.

“Ah, Good Morning.”

Satou stared at the wall in a daze, not really thinking, not really doing anything. He looked around the room, and thought, “That’s right, I’m not on Earth anymore. Wait a minute...”

Satou turned to the maid bowing right next to him, “Um, you are?”

“My apologies for the late introduction, young master I am Rosalie Rosen, a Vampire Maid. I’ve been assigned as your personal servant, bodyguard, and bloodbag.”

“Bloodbag?”

Rosalie replied, “Yes, you’re free to drink my blood whenever you please.”

Satou looked at her confused, he asked,“Why would I want to do that?”

She replied, “Does my blood not meet your taste? It may be difficult, but we might be able to find a virgin maid who can serve as your blood bag. It may be more suitable for you palate.”

“No no, why blood?”

Satou wasn’t sure what was going on, or why this maid was so insistent on having him drink blood.

Rosalie turned her head, “Why? Young master, it’s not healthy if you don’t eat properly. Blood is very nutritious. You won’t grow up to be big and strong if you don't drink it. Actually you’d be a corpse.”

Satou looked at her as if she was crazy, “Isn’t that unhealthy? When has drinking blood ever been good for you?”

Then he remembered, “Oh wait, I’m a Demon. Shit I really need to get used to this, but do I really have to?”

Satou awkwardly stared at the maid not knowing really what to say. Was it the norm to drink blood, should he really drink her blood, and wait she’s not a virgin!

Noticing his eyes the she said, “Young master, since you’re awake I’ve taken the liberty to contact the lord. He has commanded me to prepare you for the Naming Ceremony.”

Satou got out of bed, and wondered, “Naming Ceremony, it’s self-explanatory but why do you need a ceremony for that?”

Satou walked towards the door, but before he could opened the door the maid stopped him and said, “Young master you can’t go there naked.”

Satou watched her go to the closet and pull out some clothes. He wondered, “They were fine with us not having clothes before though. I mean it’s not like we-”

Satou looked towards his crotch, and noticed something odd. No it was something normal, it was something that should have normally been there in the first place. In the first place what was odd was that it disappeared, but it returned. It returned!

He fell to his knees and looked at it. The motion of falling down caused it to gracefully swing in the air giving him that familiar sensation in the lower region of his body. Satou was quietly cried tears of joy, as he looked at it. He returned, his lifelong companion that disappeared ten thousand years ago had returned. There in his crotch stood his the mighty sword every man is born with.

He cried out, “JUNIOR, YOU’RE BACK!!!”

Satou remained on the floor crying naked, ignoring everything else. Nothing could end this joyous occasion. Not even the maid who was awkwardly staring at him confused.

“Young master?”

The maid called out, but he ignored her.

“Young master!”

She walked over and shook his shoulder, but he didn’t respond. She shook him and shook him constantly calling out to him in an attempt to get him out of his stupor, but he ignored her. For now he can jack again! [1]

*BANG*

The door slammed open

“Rosalie what in the hell are you doing taking so bloody long.”

Nevil barged right through the door furious. He looked over at Satou was was still on his knees, butt naked on the floor staring at his cock, crying, “What the hell is he doing?”

The Rosalie stood up, and tried to explain “I’m sorry sir, I don’t know what happened to the young master, but he just fell to his knees and remained like this.”

Nevil clicked his tongue walked closer to Satou. He took out his cane and he quickly directed a gray colored aura towards his general direction. Suddenly Satou felt an extremely terrifying, and chilling feeling walk up his spine, causing him to jump. Nevil extended the top of his cane towards Rosalie’s hands holding clothes. The clothes disappeared and reappeared perfectly fit on Satou’s body. He slammed the tip of his cane down onto the floor and Satou was suddenly teleported into an almost empty throne room.

Royce stared at him, and laughed, “Well you sure took your time.”

Nevil bowed, and said, “My apologies.”

Royce sat on the throne, with his wife Elaine to his left, and Azule to his right. Nevil walked over to the lord's side slightly behind Azule where Garius and Tristan stood.

Satou, who was previously in a fright tried to calm himself. He looked around and wondered, “Is this that ceremony?”

The Lord looked to his left and right, before he turned to Satou and said, “Child, do you know why we called you here?”

Satou replied, “No...”

The Lord turned to Azule, and Azule said, “This is the Naming Ceremony which binds us demons to our names. We who have died once, forge an identity that forever follows us for the countless years to come. Our names signify our very being. One day should you ever form an oath, you must make it on your name.  And that oath must never be broken, or rather it should never been broken. After all the only fate that awaits those who break their oath is a fate worse than death.”

Azule made a small book appear in his hands and threw it over to Satou. Satou looked at it, and as he opened it recognized it as his Grimoire.

Elaine spoke, “As the Clan that summoned you, we the Rosen Clan hereby give you the surname of Rosen.”

The book in Satou’s hands began to glow, and the sound of fire could be heard. Satou opened up the Grimoire again and noticed a part of the first page was burning. The flame quickly disappeared leaving behind the words Rosen under Name and Affiliation.

Azule said, “This name signifies your origin, should you ever leave the clan then and only then will it ever be discarded and disappear. ”

Royce said, “As the Lord of the Rosen Clan, Royce R. Rosen I give you the name of Daemon.”

A flame appeared once more engraving the name Daemon into the grimoire.

Azule continued, “We pass you this name and hope it will one day server as a symbol of your loyalty, should you ever choose to serve a new Master only then will you receive a different name to live by. Until that day where your name should change, live and serve the Clan of Rosen.”

The Lord stood up, “Daemon Rosen, we formally welcome you to the Rosen Clan.”

Everyone in the room began clapping. But Satou could careless about that, instead he looked at his book. He thought, “What sort of name is this! Daemon? I get it I’m a Demon, but couldn’t you think of a better name! Maybe I need to find a new Master(author) to give me a better name.”

Tch, he’s technically not breaking the wall. Yo author this is okay right? It’s okay? Fine, you win this round.

He looked over the rest of the book ,and noticed a few changes. His rank went from Rank 1 Lesser Demon to Rank 3 Lesser Demon. And his race went from an Imp to a Noble Vampire.

“Ah, now that I think about it, my skin’s a different color too. Why does this remind of Michaelle Jackieson?”[2]

Satou looked at his arms, they were no longer red, and were instead a pale white. And he wasn’t just a noble vampire he was a Variant it seems, a New Moon Noble.

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

He looked at the list of things below. Of the one he previously had: [Lesser Blood Control], [Soul Furnace], [Essence Absorption], and [Demon Sight], [Lesser Blood Control] turned into [Blood Control]. And there were some new ones: [Blood Domination], [Moonlight Form], [New Moon Void], and [Bloody Moon].

Satou looked at them and wondered, “What are these even, abilities? And how did I get more? Is it cause I turned into a vampire?”

All the new abilities he received were all Moon or Blood related in some way. But Satou didn’t have a clue what any of them did, or how to use them.  

Satou looked up and noticed that Azule walking over. He said, “Well we’ve got no time to waste, you’ve missed class for an entire week,  we need to catch you up to the others. Daemon come.”

“Huh, class? A week!?”

Satou followed Azule out of the throne room. He lead Satou to an empty library on the first floor. The library had a large array of books and extended up three floors. There were a number of ladders everywhere and a few Latus crystals. Azule walked over to a table and told Satou, “Take a seat.”

Azule walked over to a Latus Crystal and he quickly found several books. He said, “Well let’s start with introductions. I’m Azule Dein the former heir to the Dein Clan. I’ll be your teacher for the next seven years or so, so let’s get to know each other.”

“....”

“Nothing huh? Well that’s okay for now, Daemon do you want to know why everyone puts you in such a high position for your age? I mean you’ve only been alive for a week, technically a week. Technically you’ve only been reborn for a week, but shit gets complicated if I go into that so yeah.”

Satou nodded, “Isn’t it because of that Anti-Seal Rating thing?”

“Correct,” Azule smiled, “you’re oddly clever. Even for a demon with a complete soul you normally shouldn’t have this level of intelligence at this point in time.”

Azule opened up a book and said, “You see our Demon Realm Arkadias is one of Three Great Realms, there’s the Celestial Realm Ecclesia, Mortal Realm Padanilam. Naturally our Demon Realm has Demons, the Celestial Realm has the Angels, and the Mortal Realm houses the mortals. There exists a Great Seal that traps us here in the Demon Realm, not even all those old monsters combined could break it”

Satou said, “But I can.”

“Not exactly, breaking it’s going to take a few hundred thousand more years. But the seals weak enough that we can can pass through it. There's been a few successful, so everyone began to start testing the likelihood of passing through the seal. But you’re the first Demon in exactly 2,992 years of the seals existence to have a 100% chance guaranteed of making it through alive.”

“Wait,” Satou interrupted, “The seals only been there for only 2,992 years?”

Azule put the book down, and turned it around he pointed at a point in the page titled the end of the Great War of Padanilam.

“Yeah, it hasn’t been too long since we’ve been sealed in the Demon Realm. Daemon, Arkadias is massive. It’s been a few quadrillion years and only within the past hundred billion or so years has a map been completed. Demons still haven’t fully settled down even now, with all the wars going on. Demons only started moving to the Mortal Realm maybe only five hundred thousand years ago. And the Great War started only only a hundred thousand years ago.”

Satou looked at Azule dumbfounded. The Demonic realm has been around for a quadrillion years, that's several hundreds if not thousands of times longer than the lifespan of a sun!

Satou looked at Azule and asked, “I get that I can pass through the seal, but what does that entail?”

Azule opened up another book, and said, “It’s simple. Right now you are a Lesser Demon, by absorbing enough Demonic Energy your body will begin to slowly change as it goes up in rank. And once you reach the 10th rank of your stage you will be able to breakthrough to the next Demonic Stage.”

Azule passed him the book he was look at and on it were a list of all the stages. From weakest to strongest they were Lesser Demon, Lower Demon, Mid-Demon, High-Demon, Archdemon, Noble Demon, Demon King, Demon Emperor, and Demon God.

“The Demonic Realm naturally has an abundant supply of Demonic Energy for us to use and grow stronger, but with the trillions of Demons alive there is only so much Demonic Energy to go around. On the other hand the Mortal Realm has less than a hundredth of the Demonic Energy present in the Demon Realm, but if a Demon were to monopolize all that energy let alone breaking into the Demon King Stage, even the Demon Emperor stage wouldn’t be just be a dream.”

Hearing these words Satou was shaken. A large smile couldn’t help but form on his face, “Man life is so unfair, but it sure as hell is working in my favor...”

Hey guys a bit of an early chapter! Sorta short to. This is Saturdays chapter, so don't expect one tomorrow. But I might post another chapter cause the length of this one sort of irritates me.Anyway luckily my friend came back to help me work on the chapter, cause I told him MC was getting his dick back. The whole dick thing was just a stupid joke, we were planning on giving him tentacles actually. He wasn't even supposed to be a vampire, he was supposed to be an abomination, but as things went down it was a bit of a pain so we changed it. You can see from the chapter he was evolving he was experiencing immense pain. Well his body was supposed to undergo crazier, and more drastic changes. But those changes changed.  

Anyways lots of exposition, with a bit more to come later. Well  I gave our MC a few new abilities, but he won't use some of the for a bit. I suppose I am making him too OP, but again this was brought up and he's immortal. I could change it, and make it so people could kill immortals, but I didn't want the story to go in that direction. Anyway this stories gonna be a bit of training, exploring the demon realm, but with the way its set up you should realize the MCs gonna eventually end up in the Mortal Realm.

Thanks for reading, tell me any suggestions, and mistakes. I'll make a poll one day and see if I made the MC to OP. Well time for a little Fun Fact

Not Really Fun Fact

The Demon Realm is one Massive super continent with only a few lakes every now and then.

The Celestial Realm are a large number of floating islands and a total of 12 continents

The Mortal Realm is a single Super Continent surrounded by a large ocean. There are a few smaller continents scattered about in the ocean but a large majority of the planet is water.

Edit: Cause it's short expect two chapters next week. A short one and a decent sized one. Oh and for anyone waiting for action it's gonna happen soon.
