After waking up, I and Grayfia leave with Sebas in tow. In the dark of the night, I sense something a

I decide to go towards it. As I'm calmly walking down the alley a demon clad in white and black samurai armor that's chowing down on a human looks at me before saying

(Demon): "Hm? More food! Ah thank god, I didn't have to find some more.

(Akuma): "Arrogant." I say in a cold tone while slowly releasing my aura. Each step I take towards the demon I release a bit of < Demon Suppression > which cause the demon to slowly cower

{Demon's perspective} 'This human taste like trash! I need to find someone else.' then I see a child with long dark hair walk into the dark alley' "Hm? More food? Ah thank god, I didn't have to find some more"

(Akuma): "Arrogant." 'HUH? Who is this kid? What is with this aura! It's like he's the death incarnate himself!

{ Back to Akuma }

'Hmmm, I need to test my devil powers. Maybe I should use ?'

(Akuma): "Hey you demon. Either die here or work for me."

(Demon): "Work for you? Why would I work FOR you!?"

(Akuma): "Good question... Maybe I could give you power? Or I could just kill you here. There are no second chances."

(Demon): "Who the fuck do you think you are? Do you dare kill ME? I'd rather die than work for you"

(Akuma): "Okay, remember this was your choice!" I say while pulling out my scythe and as I'm pulling out my scythe calmly he starts pleading

(Demon): 'This kid is no good!' "W-wait, wait, wait! Okay, I'll work for yo-" before he can finish his sentence I cleanly cut off his head before spinning my scythe and putting it in my < Inventory >

(Akuma): "I said no second chances." I take his soul which is just floating there before leaving.

'I guess red souls are demons huh? I wonder which color Muzan's is.'

After walking out the alley I call out Sebastian and Grayfia, "Hey you guys want to eat?"

(Grayfia): "B-but master... We don't need to eat?" Sebastian nods in agreement.

(Akuma): "Ah stop blabberin' let's go eat!" you can hear my cheerful voice as I haven't tasted the food of this world except for the orphanages as I don't need to.

After saying that I tug both with me while getting stares from everyone until a group of people walks out the alley in front of us.

(Boss): "Hey kid, give us the maid so we can 'train' her real quick. Heh.

(Thug 1): "Yeah! You heard boss!"

(Akuma): "Why would I do that? Do you think I'm weak?" 'Fucking thugs ruining my mood'

(Grayfia): "Please master let me handle this." Grayfia says walking to the group before knocking all of them out

(Sebastian): "Good job Grayfia-san."

(Akuma): "Shall we continue?" I say with a cheerful smile on my face. 'Im glad I chose these two as my followers..'

When walking into the restaurant the scent of ramen is invading my nostrils. Especially with my heightened smelling, It's like a bloodhound smelling blood. It leads me to the waiter

(Waiter): "Hello! How may I serve you today?" She says while we're staring at the menu to decide which to pick from the plethora of food on the menu.

(Grayfia): "Can I get the asparagus tempura? ((I'm on a diet))"

(Akuma): "I'll get the tonkotsu!"

(Sebastian): "Can I get the chicken katsu with white rice."

(Waiter): "Of course please wait a few minutes."

After waiting 30 minutes the waiter comes back with 4 plates in tow. The Tonkotsu soup has a rich scent that smells like pork and creamy texture and the noodles are perfectly cooked. With a boiled egg and a leek in a bowl.

'It smell's so good! I hope it tastes as it smells.' After taking my first bite It fills my mouth with bliss and a warm sensation. After taking that little bite in a few minutes I devoured all the food.

Sebastian and Grayfia have a surprised look on their faces before I ask "What? Is there something on my face?" before they nod in disagreement and go back to eating.

After finishing eating and paying for the food, We entered the Inn, I rented a room and then went to bed, not before saying 'Siri wake up me in the morning'

[Affirmitave!]

Then I fade into sleep.

[*RINGING* Wake up admin! It's morning.] With that I wake up and sense Sebastian in my shadow and see Grayfia coiled around my neck.

'Good morning Master.' They both say to me in my mind, (Akuma): "Goodmorning guys it's time to make our way to the demon slayer exams" I say before leaving the Inn. And then I use

'Wait.... which way are the exams???' "Siri show me the map and set a waypoint for the location of the Demon Slayer exams"

After that a mental image of the location of the Demon Slayer exams 'Mount Fujikasane huh? I wonder what makes demons hate wisteria... WAIT will I hate wisteria? Ugh a problem for another time'

Hopping from shadow to shadow I arrive at the mountain where I see Tanjiro, I make sure no one's looking before I get out the shadow. Then I create a black skull mask, The skull has three eyes and the third one on his forehead and the strap has a rose pattern while the mask itself has golden highlights with two horns protruding from the top of its head. Then I made the eyes glow in the dark hehe' {Practically this https://tinyurl.com/y2zzetyj except lest dusty and actual eyes}

I put my mask on then started looking around, spotting all the main characters like Inosuke, Tanjiro and Zenitsu and Kanoa. 'The devil / Grim reaper should have wives right? Maybe I'll make Kanae and Shinobu my wives in the future hehe. But that's for later, let's pass this test ((Which should be easy for me)).'

After finishing my inner monologue a scene that gives off the sense of nostalgia happens. A boy with a blue coat with white clouds on it yells towards me yelling my name attracting the eyes of every other participant.

(Tanjiro): "Akuma-niisan! You made it! I would've thought you would have quit by now hehe."

(Akuma): "Me? Quit? Since when! Do I look like I shy away from a challenge?"

(Tanjiro): "Yeah yeah. Where's your weapon? You know this is the Demon Slayer exams right, It won't be easy without a weapon? And what's with that snake across your neck!"

(Akuma): "Who says I don't have a weapon? I don't even need my weapon to past this test. And this snake is my maid Grayfia!" I say with a smug smile on my face.

(Tanjiro): 'He's lost it... Calling a snake his maid..' "Are you nuts? Calling a snake your maid. I think you lost some marbles on your trip her-"

Before Tanjiro can finish. Two identical twins walkout, the only thing different is their hair color.

They start explaining the exam before wishing us good luck.

(Tanjiro): "Akuma-nii, I'll go first. See you at the end of the exam okay?"

(Akuma): "Of course! Don't die on me or I'll revive you and beat you up! {He's not joking}

After saying our goodbyes, I walk into the forest and immediately sense hundreds if not thousands of demons. "Ahhh It's gonna be a long day of contracting demons. I need a force to rival Muzan's Twelve Demon Moons but I'll probably only find 1 or 2 good candidates here." I sigh while talking to myself.

'Sebas, go and find strong demons to recruit then take them to my house in my universe... Except the one Tanjiro is gonna fight. He'll need that for the experience. (Sebas): "Yes master."

"I would make my own demons but It's better to work hard to see it blossom, but maybe one won't hurt." Then I start walking around to find anyone to fight. I see about 4 or 5 demons in a group eating 2 kids.

(Akuma): "Hey, you guys like your food?" I say in a cold tone that brings shivers down their spine

(Demon 1): "Yeah? Do you want to find yourself to our bellies?"

Then I start running towards the demon who spoke first and my scythe appeared out of nowhere leaving all the demons stunned, then I throw my scythe like a boomerang on a calm day. It curves and flies through the air decapitating all the demons like a butterknife on warm butter.

All their heads fly into the sky while their souls slowly float out their bodies before I place them in the inventory. I see a girl who looks about 19, she has her black hair in a sideways ponytail and a butterfly bow on. This is Kanao.

(Akuma): "Don't you know it's wrong to peep on other people?

(Kanao): 'He saw me?' 'She flips a coin that lands on heads before saying "No..."

(Akuma): "As expected. What's your name?"

(Kanao): "Kanao Tsuyuri"

(Akuma): "Well Kanao, a piece of advice. Learn to make decisions yourself.

(Kano): "How'd you kno-" Before she can say anything I disappear.

'Phew, she's a freak' I say to Sebas and Grayfia. 'Indeed, she must have gone through a lot to become like that'

While I'm still shadow walking, I see Zenitsu running away from demons before he trips and goes unconscious. 'Who let this kid into the exam anyway?' then I start running to him while throwing my scythe at the three demons on his tail.

My back facing him he slowly opens his eyes to see my black robe with stars on it and three dead demons with their bodies slowly burning. He blinks and by the time he opens his eyes the young man is gone. 'W-w-where did he go! I didn't get to thank him!'

"Ughhh, I'm so bored. Let me go resurrect a few people who I can add to my team." I say before walking. After scouring he sees a girl with silver hair in a ponytail and a voluptuous figure in a white kimono. 'Huh, it looks like I found one. She kinda looks like Miyamoto from Fate G/O...'

After inspecting her. I start resurrecting her as her soul is still there. When she wakes up she starts looking around everywhere confused. I would be too after being resurrected after endless dark that feels like infinity. She then looks at me. ' Didn't I die? Why is this boy looking at me? Did he do this?'

[FLASHBACK]

(???): "Damn it! Why are there so many after me?" A girl can be seen running in a forest while being chased by multiple ghoul-like demons. Then she trips... stupidly over her own leg.

The demons catch up to her and then say (Demon 1): "Well pretty lady. You sure lost your step there!"

(???): "Let me go!

(Demon 2): "Now why would we do that? I haven't had a meal in this damn forest in so long."

The demons all pounce on the girl ripping her flesh by flesh while laughing

(???): "AGHHHHHHHH"

[FLASHBACK END]

(Akuma): "Hello, my name is Iguro Akuma. What is yours?"

(???): "Umm Akuma-chan are you Shinigami?"

(Akuma): "Hahaha! Very good question but unfortunately those are beneath me. You could say I'm the God of Death? Or The Devil.

(???): "Well... my name is Cho... Cho
