=========================Albi's P.O.V=========================
I was scared looking at master his eyes and tatoos glowing red fear streamed through my body i couldnt
tell if it was master and i wanted to approach and embrace him but my instincts said that i shouldnt
and keep my guard up he was still staring at me but didnt attack he had blood stains all over his body
and some bruises i wanted to heal him so i spoke first
-...master ?
He didnt answer me and just looked away to the forest i didnt know what to do he didnt seem to
pay any attention to me nor emit any killing intent but i still didnt want to chance it and so he started
moving i followed him
we walked for over 1 hour and entered the forest on the way i saw a lot of damaged trees and craters and stained
blood everywhere i was very wary of master because he had that dangerous aura with him the blood that
was scattered everywhere i identified it.it was animal blood of demons they all got slaughtered some wanted to escape
but didnt get the chance and just got eliminated looking at master i sniffed him and made out that he was the person
who killed those animals a cold ran down my spine but i kept it in me and followed him i wanted to ask
master what happened but when i wanted to say something i realized that the person in front of me was
not my master so i followed him in silence
After 30 minutes of walk master finally stopped i front of a cave at that he collapsed and i quickly catched him
mid fall master fainted i inspected his bruises all over his body his eyes shut and tatoos didnt glow
anymore but he didnt wake up i held him and nursed him hoping he would wake up in that
time i didnt embrace him i was too worried a lot of thoughts and emotions kept on building up
and after 4 hours master woke up
======================Damons P.O.V======================
I woke up i felt my body it was really bad it felt as if i didnt rest for even a minute
i opened my eyelids the first things i saw was a beautiful girl with silver hair and eyes
she was looking at me intently i knew that girl she was my familiar albi
she had a sad face with ears down as if she was about to fry any moment and when she noticed
me opening my eyes
She hugged me really strong with her inhuman strenght but it didnt hurt i felt only remorse out of it
as if i have done something bad albi still hugged me
-...sniff..hughh...sniff
She was crying while hugging me i couldnt understand but then realized why so i padded
her head and after some she calmed down a little and stopped crying she then said
-STUPID MASTER WHERE THE HECK DID YOU GO !!
Not gonna lie i got a little startled there she used her beast roar while saying that so she scared me a little
I looked at her face she was red all over and head tears on her face i approached her and wiped them off
she pouted at that angrily and looked at me with those big eyes i felt really bad
After that we started talking what happened so far and why i was here and how she found me
she told me how she found me and i told her how i got here hearing her story it seemed like
i will always return here when i am asleep and get headaches if i go away so it seemed like
i didnt have any other choice then to enter the cave i was really hungry and there was blood and
dirt all over my body but luckily there was a river where i could clean myself and albi picked some
berrys she didnt like the idea of leaving to get food nor me entering the cave she was full bodyguard
mode right now but i couldnt help it seeing her being desperate at the end by the way only
i can enter the cave albi cant enter because there was a invisible barrier keeping her from entering
she couldnt break it either so she had to stay and guard she got a little sad by it but i think she needs
sometime alone so i entered the cave
When i entered the cave i and walked halfway through i couldnt see anything that wasnt a problem thou
because i have my perception skill i could determine where i was going but what really annoying was that
whenever i stepped at a spiky rock or something i would get hurt and that was really annoying because how perception
works is that i can see my surroundings without using my eyes but i cant make a large scale area very detailed
for me of course i can concentrate on one place so it can be detailed for me to know what it is but that
would just take too much time and so i walked for a half a hour and finally came to and end
The end of the tunnel there was a big room in the middle of the room there was stand where a purple
colored stone was it looked very devilish because it had some dark fragments flowing out of t
i didnt touch it because i didnt want to get any curse the stand itself had some strange runes engraved to it
i couldnt make out half of the runes so i just ignored the stand for now
In the back of the room there was a table with shelfs attached to it there were a lot of books but what really
caught my attention was that one book in the middle of the table the table itself was
empty with only this one black book the book had Sorenmite ore at the edges as ornemants attached to it
Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
and had some strange ass scribbles on it that looked like sex related stuff or murderous i couldnt
feel anything out of ordinary out of the book and i inspected the table there wasnt anything indicating that it
was a trap so picked it up
At that moment i could feel a really cold shiver running down my spine as id directly touching me i turned around
but there was nothing so i opened the book the title said
-Introduction To Demons
Suddeny the whole room turned white i didnt get the chance to get what happened the room was white
without exit nor enter the table and the stand were still there and the book in my hand also but i wasnt
panicked it seeing that the moment i opened the book this happened must mean that i had to continue
the book and the title Introduction To Demons it had something to do with me so i dont know what
I turned the next page but when i turned the page it started talking the book started talking
-Hello fellow if you found this book that means you have entered the demon rank up stage what that means i
will shortly explain you may know what i am talking about but i will explain either way
what Demon rank up stage ? i couldnt comprehend that a book was talking but i still listened to it
-The demon rank up stage is a ceremony when a demon comes to age and has to change its race for its duty for the
society of the demons
So it is like ants that give jobs to each one of them like warrior worker and harvester
-This rank up activates when you have gathered enough wisdom and intelligence through years and practice
it will effect your demon instincts and bring you here for this to work yo have to touch the elder stone
it will determine what you will be by touching the stone you will get your specialized demon race dont
worry if you going to mate it wont affect your child your primary race is still a demon so its okey hehehehe
I didnt like the part where he was laughing but okey
-so without further do touch the stone you can ask questions now this book can answer them when you finish
the ceremony thou the book will change to the information about your race and you will have to learn
about it
I was thinking this book was holding a lot of information so asked
-who are you ?
-...
Hmm the book seemed to be not answering so i thing there is not answer so as i wanted to ask another question
-I am malah the demon priest i give those low demons rank up stages when they turn 18 years old
18 years ? i am 7 years old right now how come ? does it have to do with my reincarnation that i have the brain of a 37
year old ? or the fact that i am just intelligent ?
So with that i asked another question
-why is this in the elven territory ?
-A long time ago we demons figured that there are some crossed breeds of demons so we decided we would
build a secret rank up stage on each continent
Well that explainst things but crossed breeds ?
-Do crossed breeds have any kind of effect on this rank up or so ?
-Yes there are it may happen that you wont get the complete potential out of the ceremony because of being
half blood but the ceremony itself is neccesery so you wont get insane because if a demon doesnt
get a rank up he will go berserk because of all the information in his head activating it instincts
That explained my red color mode that brought me here
-what are these tatoos on my body ?
This question is not related to anything but i should at least know
-they divine demon crests that each demon has it shows that you are still developing demon you can
hide the crests by will as well when you rank up your appearance might change but you will be the
same age not bigger not smaller but the crests will change by the rank up
I can hide the tatoos or crests ?
-how do i hide the crests ?
-You have to imagine them disapearing and thats it
Well one problem is away now what else ?
-What type of races as demon can i be ?
At this question the boom started glowing and turned pages showing me a lot of names
like Imp,Incupus and so long
I figured that these names are the demon races i can be but i wont decided so i have to wait and see
without hesitation i approached the stone and touched it
I could feel it the power streaming through my veins it was a really good feeling but it was too much
to control i was starting to lose conscious and so i fainted
