As she saw me her face darkened, she must have known that she was taken by bandits and was now facing the one who slaughtered them all. By now she must have been thinking what kind of monster I was.

I just stood there as they walked back. I did not do all of this for nothing. Twenty minutes had passed since they got back and a person started walking towards me. It was a girl dressed in rags holding a small chunk of what looks like a very appetizing meat.

She lay the meat down next to me and scurried off back to the town with haste. All of the soldiers and the towns people were looking at me with a sense of fear. I ate the whole thing in one bite and then…

[Sense danger] Activated

You have been poisoned!

Healing effects have stopped the poison!

I would slaughter them all now if I had the choice but I do not know if there are any hero’s or adventurers who are better than the guards in the town. I will not take that chance. At least, I know now to not to come into/avoid human contact. That settles it, after my family was taken away I thought that not all humans could be so cruel. But now I know that most of them are, even if it to something that just saved someone’s life.

In the crowd was not just humans though, there was also a good mix of beast kin and elf’s. But they held all one thing in common, they were all fearful of me. To think elf's and beast kin would look at me the way the humans did… It disgusted me. There was no eye in the crowd which did not hold hostility, even the children and cubs…

I walked up to the wall of shields and gave them a threatening growl when a window popped up

Poison successfully has been transferred to glands!

You can now spit poison after consuming poison!

As soon as I read that spat the poison onto the shield of one of the guards. It made a small green splatter on the shield. After about a second the splatter had eroded the part of the shield that it had landed on. Leaving the face of the guard dark and more fearful than before, but the face of the girl who gave me the meat was even more so priceless.

After the show of power I left. I had not gotten used to fighting anything other than other animals so far and I had no element of surprise so it would be hard to kill the strongest ones with ease.

I started to head back home. I killed anything which came towards my position be it birds, lizards, dogs, cats, anything. It would die in one fowl swoop. I walked through the night and killed some insects, owls, and other nightlife. Everything I killed did not go to waste though, every last bit of it was eaten, but the bones of course! Ha ha ha.(Author note: Oooo scary~~)

It had become day by the time I had reached home. All I wanted to do then was sleep. After killing about 100 or so creatures which confronted me, anyone would be tired right? So I took the chance and slept.

Oh, how good I slept! Nothing awoke me and by the time I awoke it was dawn, of course not of the same day. Even that is not the best of it though. I also awoke to

[Demonic Shadow Fox] *Rare*

As a demon, you will learn the demonic language.

From the horns peak you can cast magic.

Being a demon also grants you the ability to morph into any creature you have

killed and eaten. It also allows you morph

certain body parts into those of a different animal which

you have killed but this will deplete you Mana rapidly.

Ooo another rare? I guess I did kill a lot of things yesterday… I don’t think I need to eat today hahaha… Today I think I will head in the opposite direction to the town today.

I start to walk towards a mountain to find a cave to explore or something along those lines. Surely enough I did find something. I saw a grand entrance to a cave, a dungeon I guess.

As I stood outside of the entrance I heard noises. Muffled voices.

“I'm a little sad we didn’t get a big haul today” Said a soft feminine voice

“What did you think we would get tear, a basilisk tooth?” Said a booming male voice

“No, at least, I wanted something better than a ton of monster meat…

Just something interesting you know? Maybe a spell book!”

“As of our agreement, I would keep all of the magic related items. If we did not acquire, one I am not obligated to protect you on the way back” Said a female voice which seemed devoid of almost all emotion.

“HEY! You do know we could have you killed! If we told anyone that you're a necromancer it would be bad for you!” Said the Male again

“Humpf”

With every word they got closer…

“Maybe we would have gotten better gear if the Archpriest wasn’t training”

“We couldn’t have gotten past the second level, you buffoon”

...Until I heard their footsteps

They walked to the entrance of the cave in a group of 3, a human warrior wielding a tower shield and a long sword while being plated in chain-mail armor. A female cat beast kin wearing leather armor wielding two daggers. Lastly, a dark hooded figure with lavender coloured hands holding a large book which was most likely a grimoire.

As I looked at two of them I recognized them, the warrior and cat I remember from the crowd. But the lavender-skinned one… they were not in the crowd. To that one, I held no grudge against but the other two. It was my chance, they would die today or I would die trying.

I hid behind a rock at the entrance of the cave to lay in wait. Step. Step. Step…

The hooded figure was at the back while the warrior was most near me. I jumped and aimed my claws and teeth at his head for it was the only bit not guarded, if not taken out first he may become problematic. The man was standing up, screaming. Taking a chunk out of his neck, it would be the most appropriate response.

As for the girl, well, she tried to jump me while I was on the warriors back. You can imagine how that ended, impaled, on a spike, screaming, wanting to die. I was happy to oblige. The warrior died of blood loss and the rouge of suffocation.(Author note: They all died of death of course ('3').)

After I removed their armor and shoved it into the dungeon it went. A darkness surrounded the loot and it was gone in a matter of seconds. Well if it helps they can have it, whoever it is.

I looked back at the hooded figure and we stared at each other for about 3 seconds. She curtseyed and left before I ate the corpses of the 2 people with glee. The warrior gave me 20 endurance and the rouge gave me 30 agility.

I surveyed the surrounded area on the stone of which I hid behind earlier and before I set off, a voice sounded in my head.

Oh god, what was that...
