Well… It’s already been a week since I arose in this god forsaken forest but nothing much has changed. The sky is still as blue as ever… Trees retained their verdant hue… And the damn self-proclaimed Hero is as stubborn as ever.
Though I can’t really say that this whole week was a complete waste since I’ve managed to release quite a bit of my pent up frustration during our interrogation sessions with that Hero kid. What do our interrogation sessions include you might wonder? Nothing that much special.. really.. First, I try to ask him a few questions of interest to me with a gentle disposition. Unfortunately to every question that I ask there’s only one answer – Silence. At this point in time Hero usually looses a finger or two. This method is very effective since it helps break the silence between us. Much to my dismay, instead of the so much wanted answers to my questions all I receive is “I’ll never succumb to your torture you violent demon scum!”. Sometimes he does change some things in the sentence but in the end the “demon scum” stays the same. After that we proceed to further stages that are best left unmentioned. Though regardless my interrogation skills seem to be somehow lacking since we repeat this process on daily basis and hes yet to answer a single question.
Hell.. He should be in so much pain that even keeping that unmoving pokerface on all the time should be impossible yet he manages to spill those demon scum sentences one after another. To give you a better understanding of his situation at present.. Well.. He’s pretty much already dead.. Died the second I pierced his chest a week ago when he and his now dead groupies tried to assult me the second I appeared in the middle of nowhere.. nowhere being this damn forest.. God how I’m tired of this place! I’m so burning it down right after I’m done playing here dealing with the Hero >.<.. Uhm.. Back on topic.. So basically the only reason he’s still around to get on my nerves is because my magic keeps him alive… Healing magic you might’ve thought… No. Demons don’t swing that way.. Soul manipulation.. Magic unique to my demon clan but more on that later… I pretty much trapped his soul inside his body.. Why him of all the 5 people that jumped me? Simple.. Last man standing.. Since he was the strongest of the group I thought that the amount of information that he possess should be higher than the others.
Moving on.. Sounds like a convenient way to cheat death right? Well.. it isn’t.. The moment his body went limp it lost it’s ability to house a soul.. Imagine yourself being stuck in an adamantine shoebox, your nerve system intact while the shattered bones and and smashed body parts pressuring the walls of the shoebox only to be repelled back.
True.. must be hard to imagine something like that but sure doesn’t sound like a fun experience, right? And here this guy is not even making a sound.. Damn it! Looks like I’ll have to think of a different way.. Why not kill this and find someone that would be more willing to share some information? Pfft.. If I decided that I’ll get all the information I need from this guy whether he wants or not.. Heck.. if he doesn’t know something I’ll still make him spill it damn it!

This is all that crazy old man’s fault! Who’s the crazy old man? My ass of a father! Why do I treat someone that raised and taught me everything that I know? This is a simple one.. remember how explain why storing a sole in a dead body is a no no? Well.. During one of his lessons I had to learn it the hard way.. When I was but young.. almost a new born demon, no more then 100 years old… actually that day was my 100thyears birthday.. So dad decided that the best present would be a spar with him without holding anything back claiming that I should be honored to see him using his full power. How did it end? The second the signal for the fight to start was heard.. I was blown to pieces.. Literally.. I mean come on.. my dad didn’t even move from his spot..
It took our demon maids the whole day to find and collect all of my missing little pieces from the floor, walls, ceilings and some even flew out into the yard through the window. While everyone were busy cleaning things up.. I was busy retaining my soul in the biggest chunk of my blown body.. Though I was lucky to be a demon born with extremely high vitality and it took me only a week to regenerate my body completely using the scavenged pieces of myself and regrowing the missing parts.. All in all, it wasn’t a fun experience.
Though it doesn’t even compare to the reason why he kicked me out from the demon realm.. The geezer seriously got a screw loose after living for like I don’t know.. Eternity?
What? You want to hear the story how my father forced me to do an almost impossible task and when I was a step away from completing it he got pissed and banished me from the demon realm? Well.. I guess I can consider sharing it with something.. Some say that releasing your emotions outside works. *SOB*
Well.. To begin my story I guess I’ll have to tell you a little about the demon world realm for you to understand this bitter tale of an innocent young lad, no older then 48763 years of age, who was falsely accused by his tyrant father and exiled from his home for who knows how many eons to come in it’s entirety.
AuthNote: Well.. So far so good.. I know that this chapter much like the last doesn’t really cover much just a bunch of inner monologue or more like just what pops up randomly in my head put on paper.. Well.. More like put a in word doc in our case.. Either way the next chapter will cover how he got exiled in the first place which probably should have been the prologue but I just felt like putting it in this order would make it more fun.. Just consider this few chapters as a training montage since our MC doesn’t need any which gives more space to introduce the story itself first before going out and wrecking havoc in the human realm ;) BTW I’m yet to name the world that he got banished to if anyone has any nice ideas than feel free to offer also any other suggestions are welcome
