--- Empress Akasha Zeul POV---
Akasha Zeul was sitting on her throne, several elder demons kneeling in front of her. As the one of six "High demons" positioned in Terra an only reporting to the Demon lord Voldemort she was the highest rank in the Asia Gate Area.

She clicked with her hand and a metal cage door opened. There were over 20 human children of different ages. They were cuddling together watching her with horror. You boy "COME"!
One boy about 12 years old stopped trembling and stood up. It approached her in hurried steps and stood still. Akasha looked into its ayes staring her in horror.
"You are such a gourmet" one of her lackeys flattered
"Oh, yes indeed I am. I like my morning food fresh, untouched, clear and fresh."
"Is that why those humans are not under obey miasma?" Another one of the demons licked his lips wondering how will they taste?
Akasha didn't waste her time and bit the boy on his neck. The boy convulsed for 30 seconds. but made no sound. Its body wrinkled, blood spilled from its eyes, nose, and ears. Once done she grabbed the body and threw it with inhuman force towards a corner to join another few children bodies"
"Ah refreshing" exclaimed Akasha. Her mood immediately improved
"To think that the parents of those little ones offered them on their own will Hahaha. How low have these humans fallen" another commented
Akasha pondered about the recent past. It was a heavy battle for Terra. The Forces of Light put up such a fierce resistance, yet the demons prevailed. Still Demon lord Voldemort paid a heavy price, as most of his army was decimated... It will take few centuries for their forces to re-grow back to full health by the standard ways. Time they didn't have if one of the other demon lords smelled their weakness. Being a very old demon lord, Voldemort devised a genius plan to speed up the amassing of their forces and even multiply them by several times.
Which led her to her current situation being in charge of the Protection of Terra and in charge of the largest populated zone of mortals. She was enthroned as the empress of Japan empire but her command was absolute for the entire area.
"Let the council begin" ordered Akasha liking few drops of blood from her fingers.
First to stand was Asmodeus. As an elder demon he has only one name. The number of names showed the power of the demon and his rank in their armies. A name can only granted by the Voice.
"As the head of the defence department, I am to report no serous issues in last six months. The only noticeable movement of FOL was an attempt to breach the barrier last night"
"What an assassination squad?!!!! Why have I not heard about that sooner? Are you scheming behind my back Asmodeus" Akasha raised from her throne releasing her full demonic aura.
Asmodeus started to tremble.
"Nothing of sort oh, great general Zeul. I wouldn't dare. It was insignificant case, not worthy of your time"
Akasha calmed down and sit back.
"Well, explain and I would be the judge of that. Be warned if I don't like what you say, I will personally suck you dry"
The other demons started snickering on the expense of the visibly terrified Asmodeus.
"Silence"
"Proceed Asmodeues"
"Last night at 10:26 local time the barrier reported an attempt to breach. It was one soul transport circle originating from Paradise Prime as the evil eye rituals confirmed. The soul was level 1-2 and burned down completely, once it's protection failed. No other suspicious moves from FOL followed"
A dead silence followed the speed report of Asmodeus
Finally one of the others couldn't hold it anymore and laughed
"hahaha"
Akasha followed and then the rest, even Asmodeus joined.
HAHAHA
ahaaha
ohohoo
After several minutes of laughing the demons finally calmed down
"To think the FOL are so desperate to send a level 1 to assassinate me. Are they that low on quality soldiers?" Akasha
"I think that they are so despaired that someone of their bosses dropped his powers and committed a suicide" another one suggested
"hahaah", followed another 5 minutes laughing.
Akasha felt quite amused. The usually boring council meeting begun with such an entertainment. And to make it even better, as a well cultured and classy vampire she grabbed another snack".
"Girl COME" using her innate puppeteer skill she summoned another lamb to the slaughter.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Unfortunately for Akasha, the rest of the council was as boring as usual.
"And this concludes today's meeting." said Akasha. Then she rose from her throne and announced loudly:
"I have announcement to make. Considering the plans in Terra progressing better than expected The great demon lord decided to award me a vacation for 8 months. Akasha triumphantly looked at her subordinates for their reactions and continued .." at the Hell hounds pit!!!"
A murmur of congratulations (enveloped with envy) filled the room.
"Asmodeus, you are in charge while I am gone. Make sure everything is working as planned, but I am confident nothing can go wrong" Akasha snickered and headed to the Demon Gate for extraction.
------Akira POV----
A ray of sunshine reached Akira's sleeping face. He murmured something, hugged the plushie and turned his back from the annoying sun.
"Akira, are you awake?" Kornelius
Akira stretched in his conformable bed and opened his eyes. He hugged the plushie - it was soft, it felt nice.
"Agh good morning to you partner, I actually slept very well after that terrible moment." Akira yawned
"Where are you now, what happened?"
Akira explained details of events last night.
"About those nightmares, I think they are abnormal, but it will take me forever to dig the right information from the public library"
"That's bad. And there is no other way to find out faster, like to ask an expert or something?" Asked Akira still hugging the plushie.
"Well it was the second available approach, but it is not desirable"
"How so?"
"Well a consultation costs SU"
"How much?"
"A hundred SU! Daylight robbery I am telling you..." Mumbled Kornelius
"You cheap bird brain"
[ you have transferred 100 SU to Korenlius. current balance 23o SU ]
"Well thanks Akira, and you don't have to be so rude"
"Yes, I am sorry I am rather hungry. You go and get that consultation. How long it will take?"
After some pondering
"About 3-5 hours depending" said Kornelius
"Ok you do that and I will find a way to keep myself busy here.... stomach gurgling .... starting with the breakfast.
"Ah the famous growth hunger" snickered Kornelius
"Huh what"?
"Well putting those points in the strength in vitality leads to explosive body growth until you reach "10" in the attributes. The so called magic puberty"
".... Why didn't you tell me about this?" Akira
"Well, it is a well known fact even the children know about it"
"But I DID NOT KNOW!" Akira growled like an angry kitten.
".....well, now you know" Kornelius
"Good bye Kornelius" Akira threw the plushie in anger.
"Oooh!" , he quickly jumped from the bed and picked and hugged the plush toy dragon.
Akira sat on the bed and a strange feeling of safety being home erupted.
"it is actually not bad here" said Akira
Body/soul synchronisation rate registered 89% -> 90% Intelligence +1 8->9 Soul + 1 10->11 /mana 100->110
"Huh, that is weird. Another system shenanigans. But I would not refuse more mana and more brain" giggled Akira
Soon the stomach announced again that the hunger issue hasn't been cleared.
"Huh magical puberty and secondary growth of the body. Will I become as big as Hulk?? Akira pondered while trying to tame his messy morning hair with a brush. A few hair clips finished the improvised styling. He put his bunny slippers on, picked up the pink dragon plushie with one hand and stood up in front of the door, hand holding it ready for open.
"Ok time to move on"
"I am a predator, I feel no fear, but my foes fear me, I am the Exorcist the Demon's bane" Akira quickly recited now his favorite mantra and opened the door. The coast was clear. He went down to the kitchen without issues.
There he put the dragon on the table and opened the fridge. It was full of products.
"Lets see what should I prepare for today?" Akira said pondering about
"Oh, who I am kidding I can cook shit. Caroline was always taking care of it"
Yet he made a decent solid breakfast : Boiled eggs, glass of milk, several toasts, ham and cheese and some olives. For the dessert he decided to award himself with a box of a ice cream. He didn't have a sweet tooth on the Earth, but apparently his new body much enjoyed the sweet cold sensation of the ice cream.
"If the body enjoys it, then so should I." said Akira and put a overfilling spoon in his mouth.
"Brain freeze, brain freeeze" -squeaked Akira
"I see you have found the Ice cream again. I thought I hid it better" A gentle female voice scared the shit out of Akira. The spoon still standing in Akira's mouth, cheeks bulged with ice cream and brain freezing he only managed to mumble.
" Hut Mormhink"
"And don't talk with your mouth full, young lady" The woman tried to look stern, but her eyes were laughing.
Few moments of an awkward silence followed, then the woman said.
"How many times have I told you not to put Hoshi on the table? Will you ever learn?" This time she really looked unhappy
"Hoshi??"
"Hoshi the great dragon, the defender of the demons and your favourite toy" Said the woman looking at the plush sitting in the middle of the dining table.
Akira felt startled. How did he pick the favourite toy of the late Akira from the entire pile of them. A chance - possible, but not likely. His thoughts were cut short.
"Well, how did it go? If you are not speaking, probably not good..."
"What?" Akira
"The swimming competition you dummy"
"......"Akira
"Anyway, cheer up, your school never won a single time, so it was somehow expected"
Akira lowered his head, as not knowing anything about a competition. What he was certain thou, was that he won't put "that" swimsuit ever. The thought of his ass cheeks presented to the cheering crowd made him shiver and blush at the same time.

"So what are you planing today? I know it is Saturday and you want to go out with your friends, but I want you home at six. You know you father returns from the abroad trip. I want us presentable, if he needs us both to serve him tonight."
"I am not sure..."
Look Missy you are a woman now and as the demon church teaches":
"A woman must please and serve a demon touched with all her body and devotion" The woman, obviously Akira's mother recited this mantra while her eyes lost focus for a second. Akira noticed this for further consideration.
"You want me to serve my own father?!" A dreading feeling started creeping in his brain as the serving was probably that way. And considering his recent knowledge Akira's father was a spider man.
"No, I will not do it" Akira said shaking his head in denial.
"Your father has been demon touched for 3 years already, and I cant keep up with his demands anymore" Some days I can't get out of the bed feeling weak like a jellyfish". The mother complained
"I thought you will help me with that. I saw that you are already in the school's "dropout" program, so you should have a lot of practice pleasing the demon touched in your school".
Akira couldn't stand there anymore, grabbed Hoshi and ran to his room. There he shut the door and put his back to press it in case the mother tried to enter.
So, Akira's father is a spiderman and he was probably aiming to fuck his own daughter. And the mother had nothing against it, even encouraging it. On top there was this thing about a "dropout" school program involving pleasing "demon touched" students
He needed to sit and think the things trough. He needed a plan...
