A dark underground cave near the forest of the capital city. A group of Rakshasa black mages had succeeded in fulfilling their calling...

< "O' great lord master! Descend upon this unholy world and grace thy humble subjects!" >

The dark cave was only lit by the strange light coming from the red-eye-like gems on the unfathomable statue.

It was a vast cave; the ceiling was low, but it was more than enough for this one giant, distorted statue.

There were headless human bodies lying before the hooded people standing before this hideous monstrosity.

The bodies of people looked young, and many were young girls.

The scene was gruesome and devastating, but the even more devastating scene was before the now lifeless bodies.

Many black-clothed hooded people were standing below the aisle. Their eyes fixed before them, on not the lifeless bodies but the fabulous altar filled with fresh, important human organs, as well as a separate table with their ultimate sacrifice...

The final and most important sacrifice.

A being that was closer to nature than any normal human.

A young soul that hadn't even seen much of the world yet.

Lying on the empty altar just before the weird statue, an unconscious young boy was the center of attention of these sinners.

The boy had attractive features that couldn't be defined by human standards.

His ears were pointy, indicating his unique spices.

The boy was an elf, but he was unconscious, probably already on the death's door.

He was almost dead now but thankfully he was unconscious... he wouldn't have to experience the things that the now-dead people had suffered through the time they were imprisoned here.

The statue's red eyes were looking down at the people gathered here and the light coming from the jewel eyes was intensifying with each passing moment.

The delight on the faces of the people was increasing, and the three priests were even more excited than anyone else here.

Everyone was crazy...

The fresh-looking 'things' on the altar were perfect, the blood-stained ground was excellent, and the auspicious time has arrived after their many long restless nights.

They had waited long enough, but not anymore.

< "For the master!" >

< "FOR THE MASTERS!" >

-Putch!

The three priests were holding three weird bone knives with red, nerve web-like patterns... which they stabbed into the eyes and heart of the unconscious young creature.

He was their last sacrifice... and as soon as they stabbed their knives into the body of this young soul, the knives glowed, and the boy lost his life on the spot.

-Oooooooooong!

A dark light, unlike any pure color, rose from the three knives and at the same time, the red light coming from the statue intensified and painted the entire cave in its bloody red!

-Shuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Dark energy came out of the eyes and covered the whole statue and at the same time, the dead bodies, the offerings on the first altar as well as their main offering of a creature of nature melted in a black fluid and flowed towards the strange statue.

-Oooooooooooo...

A weird sound reverberated throughout the cave and the statue, covered by the dark red energy, sucked in all the red light around the cave...

And then,

-Booooooooom!

With a booming sound, the black-red light exploded and the two red eyes melted in the statue, and at last...

-Oooooooooooong!

< "Welcome... master." >

A red magic circle that could never be defied by the laws of natural magic that every being knew about covered the entire open area where the statue previously stood.

The light that shot out from the magic circle was so intense that it pierced through the ceiling of the cave and created a giant hole, evaporating everything in its path.

A black-red magic circle made of sticky, evil demonic magic covered the cave and a creature slowly ascended from the magic circle.

A demon ascending from the depths of hell would be the most appropriate word as the figure that rose from the red ground was the personification of the 'scary demons' talked about in the tales of the world's countless folklores.

A tall, muscular body bigger than the known trolls that were taller than the previous ceiling of the cave appeared on the earth.

The body seemed to be only made of muscles and there was no skin like a human to this creature, showing the nerves and red muscles.

The body was red and there were strange blades coming out of its arms, and legs just like any demon noble. This one also had two large horns and bat-like wings on its back.

The eyes of the creature were as red as fresh blood filling the ground below and as soon as it appeared...

-Booooooooooom!

Dark energy blasted from its body that practically destroyed all of nature in the surrounding!

The air was polluted with its dark demonic essence, the plants that got into contact with this energy died, the trees withered and the color of the soil changed to murky ash white.

The creatures in the area that touched the waves of this energy either died, vent berserk, or accepted this dark essence and turned into ferocious demonic beasts.

But they were few, as most outright just rejected the darkness and chose death instead.

The demon in a humanoid form laughed and inhaled deeply this fresh air of nature.

< "Human world. Truly, it's as delicious as the rumors say." >

It spoke in the human tongue, but the voice contained an evil aura that could shake the very soul of every pure creature of this nature.

< "Hoh? You are the ones who summoned me to this wonderful~ realm?" >

He was looking straight at the puny humans who had signed the contracts with his kind. Not with him, though. The chances of summoning a demon with the corrupted artifacts were random.

They might be the ones who betrayed their kind and became the followers of evil, but they certainly weren't related to him in any way.

Still, he got the chance to come up to this sweet world thanks to them. They had at least earned the right to live.

And they were delighted by just the grand appearance of this demon.

Their souls were also shaking a bit. The presence of this demon, who definitely was a noble, was too overwhelming.

< "We greet the master!" >

Still, the three priests walked forward and bowed before the demon.

< "I am not your master though? Hmm... from the looks of it, your master is some other demon noble of similar rank as me." >

He was smirking with his sharp teeth and though they knew he wasn't their master, they still showed the greatest respect.

< "We know that. But just being in the presence of thy majestic self is our greatest honor." >

The three priests were like loyal subjects of a king who would lay down their lives at the moment's notice.

The demon smirked even more at that and nodded his head.

< "You three are cute. But the ones shivering behind you aren't much fun. How about you get rid of them? I might just give you a little gift if I'm entertained." >

He was a being that would induce fear in every creature in its presence. But the three stood strong before him. So the demons liked their tough act.

He knew about the ones that betrayed their own kind and helped in the summoning of the demons and their ploys.

Every noble in hell knew about them. And among the ones that summoned him here, the three were acting as respectfully as a little dog.

He would certainly reward them if they entertained him for a while. He needed dogs and servants in his new life in this sweet world anyway.

< "It would be our pleasure." >

They said just that much and turned around.

Looking at the fellow kin that helped them in this wonderful work with delight in their pure black eyes, they raised their hands toward the frightened hooded black mages.

< "Thank you for your amazing work, everyone. Now die so that we can be of some help to the great master." >

The mages who had helped them in this ritual weren't afraid to give up their lives for their master.

But to their utter foolishness, they didn't know someone other than their master would be summoned.

The priests had lied when they said they could liberate their master, but now some unknown demon was asking for their lives and the priests had naturally agreed.

They betrayed them without a single thought, maybe with delightful thoughts, but they were tricked.

And as they saw the smiling faces of the bastard three people, they bit their lips enough that their black blood flowed down.

They wanted to resist but the black thrones that rose from the ground like vines just cut away their limbs one by one, grounded them, and then their heads were severed just like they had cut down the heads of the lowly humans.

They could only scream as they died and their screams were even more grave than the screams of the humans that had seen countless inhuman things before they died.

The black blood from their torn and grounded bodies further polluted nature, but the three priests just smiled as the blood of their fellow kin stained their pale white faces.

< "Hahaha. Yes. Humans. You definitely are amusing creatures. But I guess you don't want to be called human anymore, right?" >

He smirked at them, and the three priests in hooded outfits knelt down to receive their rewards.

It was cute, so the demon laughed once again and clapped.

Then he moved his razor-sharp nail that was part of his finger on the finger of his other hand and made a small cut.

The cut wasn't that deep and was already healing, but before it healed, the demon moved the finger above the kneeling trio, and a single drop of pure black blood, as dark as the abyss, fell down on the three of them.

It was a single drop of blood, but just when it was above their heads, a strange reaction happened to this blood and it exploded above their heads like a water balloon popping.

A very big water balloon too, as a single drop of blood covered all three of them.

< "Leave the limitations of those insignificant bugs and be reborn as beings worthy enough to serve me!" >

The demon's laugh rang throughout the forest and at the same time, the three priests felt a strange sensation washing over their bodies.

They felt strong.

A strength that they had never felt in their human bodies.

They had left their humanity a long time ago, but they couldn't escape the limitations of human bodies.

They were trapped in their insignificant bodies, which couldn't even be as powerful as some filthy creatures.

They used to feel disgusted... but not anymore.

Now, they didn't have those restrictions.

Their bodies became stronger, larger, and more conducive to the amazing dark energy.

They were reincarnated with this.

They felt joy and looked down at their evolved limbs, body, wings, and horn that resembled the one standing before them.

They weren't just some Rakshasas anymore. They were now a kind that was even closer to their masters.

They were now demonkins. A new, powerful race that could definitely be helpful for their new master. The one before them.

They were rejoicing. Examining their new powers as being that was above their puny human selves.

The giant demon was smirking at these toys... when he twisted his head to the other side.

"What a mess..."

"We were a bit late, it seems."

"Fucking bastards!"

An adult, good-looking and strong man, a young boy, and a young girl suddenly appeared in the air before them.

"It's fine though." The strangely good-looking man said with a smile as he looked at the two children.

He was looking straight into the eyes of the demon noble, but then he nodded at the two of them.

"He's just a viscount. It will be quite easy so you can take the three bastards and the wild beasts over there, ok? The demon viscount..."

He looked at the demon again. Straight in the eyes. And when the boy gave him a smile, he smirked while looking at the giant demon.

"He's weak anyway."

< "...?!" >

And these words shook the whole being of the freshly ascended demon.
