----------------------------------------

***Bloodrose kingdom***

***Guard POV***

'*sigh* im on guard duty again... this is so boring!' I thought while staring off into the distance.

"I CAN SEE THE WALLS!" Hm? Whats that? My eyes almost fell off seeing what it was... a young beastman, around 11yrs old... long black hair with red streaks and.. four tails? Isn't that the disaster rank beast, gyro?

Naw, it can't be... BUT if a beast becomes old enough it gets enough power to morph and become more human-like... SHIT! I have to get on his good side or im dead, D-E-D.

The boy runs to the gates and I stop him on impulse. 'Why did I do that! I was supposed to get on his good side!' "Uhh you have to pay the fee of 1 silver to enter" i'll just charge him 1 silver instead of the norm 5... he frowns at my words. Shit! Don't tell me he doesn't have money? Well no shit! Its a beast!

The boy hands me cocoon made of chains... wait that face? The princess? It kidnapped her? Well, goodbye my sad life. "Capture the boy! He kidnapped the princess" I shouted. One of the guards shot a poison(paralyze) arrow on his leg. I watched as the boy slowly falls down to the ground, feeling thankful I didn't die when I shouted.

***Bloodrose kingdom***

***THEO***

I have this wierd collar on me again! 'Devour' I thought and devoured the collar and the cage. I walk towards the wall and punch a hole through it. What to do... oh ya! Adventurers guild and some food. I walk up to a vendor and using my super speed, I snatched a "few" skewers, only 10. Now, wheres the adventurer guild, lets ask that old man. "Halloooo, where the adventurers guild at?" He points north and I see a huge building with a sign that has a sword and shield.

Okay.. Go left and an ominous looking alleyway.. GO!

As I walk through the alleyway, I find a collapsed man. Are those wings? And a lizard tail too. I walk up to it and it suddenly grabs my leg. "Waah!" Fuck! That was some creepy shit, I stab his hand with one of the skewers he grabs my hand "EEP!" I let out a yelp since I didn't see that coming. He shoves the remaining meat from the skewer in his mouth. The color from his body slowly comes back, he stands up, and put his hands on my shoulders.

He looks me dead in the eyes and starts examining me, he has black hair, purple eyes and he is... disgustingly handsome. "BOY! How can I repay this favor of saving my life!" Hm? Save his life? Lets ask him who he is first. "Who and what are you?" He stands in an embarrassing pose and declares his identity "I am Arcien! Dragon king! Oldest and wisest being in this world!" Hehehe... dragon king? That will soon change to "food" also, I heard dragons are supposed to be prideful? He doesn't seem like it.

"Very well, arcien, I have a two questions for you. One, why aren't you prideful and arrogant. Two, what can you give me?"

He sits on a box in the corner and speaks "well, i'll answer the second one first, I can offer you my blood, and you will recieve "Dragon eyes" a racial trait that only the main blood line of dragons have." He cut his arm and pulled a cup out of nowhere and filled it with his blood and handed it to me. I drank it of course, after drinking it I felt my right eye getting crushed and being healed over and over.

While I was lying on the floor because of the pain, he kept talking. "As for the first question, we dragons are only percieved like that by the lower lifeforms, But you're also a disaster rank beast aren't you? GYRO" huh? Who's that?

"G-gyro? Who's t-that?" Damn, I can't even speak properly because of the pain. He walks up to me, I can feel the pain easing now... as I glare at him, he chuckles "Don't worry, we'll meet again" he said as he walk past me.

"Wait!" I shout, but he doesnt stop. Enraged, I clad my hand in the strongest flame I can make, it's a beautiful blue, but I didn't give a fuck as of the moment. My hand forms an arrowhead and and I dash off to hit arcien, using 100% of my strength and focusing it only on my arm, my muscles bulge and start throbbing... ahh! It hurts! But I have to EAT HIM! My hand cuts through the air and hits his chest then... No damage? Not even a scratch? How?

He turns his head and looks at me with a nasty grin. "Hahahaha! You can't harm me! You're too weak!" Maybe I should use devour on him, father said it eats anything right? I shout the name of the skill and will it to attack him.

"DEVOUR!"
