The day was going smoothly, people were selling their merchandise, people talking in peace, overall, everything was peaceful....
Besides one thing...
"Catch him!" a young man pointed at a teen
The teen was wearing skin-tight bodysuit with light armor on top of it, it seemed to be scavenged from a box of scraps
The teen was holding a bag full of food while muttering a couple of curses under his breath
A couple of people chased after the young teen before he took a turn to the right, into a alleyway
"Get him!" all of them turned right to follow the treacherous teen
They turned to follow the teen, and there was a dead end. The young teen turned around to glare at them with a frown
One of them cracked his knuckles before saying
"No where to run now, brat"
Somewhere else....
'So much noise, can't I have a coffee without commotion?' a young woman with red hair was drinking coffee, at least, trying too
Her beauty was nothing but angelic, truly a face made by God, she was wearing sunglasses, hiding the fact that she had pure crimson eyes. And she also wore a small hat that had a yellow flower on it. She also had a beautiful black dress on, and the skirt reached her ankles
If this was a cartoon, they would have seen a exclamation mark slowly burn away on the top of the young woman's head. But you could still see the veins on her face
Chugging her coffee, damming her future self stomach, she placed the cup down and called for a waitress
The waitress quickly came over and asked what's wrong. The young woman waved her hands dismissively before saying
"I'm done, here's the money" The young woman placed a coin on the table before standing up to leave
The waitress took the cup to place it on her tray before taking a look at the coin she placed. Grabbing it, she took a closer look before letting out a yelp and almost dropping the coin
'... T-this is one of the most highest currency you can get here?!' she was petrified at the thought. Why? Because she tended to a damn royal! Without even doing her best! She vowed to herself to treat every customer from now on like they were royalty
The young woman walked down the street with unhurried strides, humming a small tune with a faint smile as she was swinging her arms with childlike innocence
A lot of men stared at her almost unreal beauty, and some were looking at her with a distasteful grin while whispering a few things to each other
The young woman ignored them while taking wide strides
The city was quite peaceful this time around, the floating vehicles was zooming past, a couple of automatons was moving crates full of supplies down the street. The building towered over everyone, it was quite an uncommon sight of a wooden building like the cafe earlier, not because wood was a rare resource, just because there were better alternatives than wood, so almost everything was obsidian colored. A couple of billboards flashed some ads that the young woman didn't pay much attention to other than the fact that it was almost blinding. The outreaches of the city was nothing compared to the inner workings, but at least it was more peaceful
She saw a young girl staring at her, she gave her a small wave and the girl excitedly waved back while her parents nodded with small smiles at her
She was having a wonderful day, not including the commotion earlier of course
She walked down the street for awhile before someone tapped on her shoulder. She frowned at the thought before turning around to see a burly man grin
"Heya beauty, wanna have some dinner with me sometime?" his tone was so full of arrogance and pride, so distasteful
The young woman couldn't suppress the roll of her eyes when the burly man spoke. Sadly, the burly man noticed the roll of her crimson eyes
"What? Do you think you're too good for me? Prideful bitch!" the burly man forcefully grabbed the woman's wrist, intending to pull the woman away to have some 'fun'
The young woman sighed as the burly man tried to pull her away to no avail, he then used both of his hands, but still didn't work. Furious, he used his cybernetics in his body to pull as hard as he can,, but that only made him fall on his ass when she did not budge at all
Everyone was watching the strange scene, they were also some gossips about who the woman is. But the burly man was embarrassed and furious, so he stood quickly to throw a punch at the defenceless woman
And before he knew it, he was went flying a few feet backwards, knocked out cold. The bystanders gasped in unison, confused on what just happened
The young woman hummed a happy tune again while striding down the street with little to no care for what just happened
She hopped from time to time as she finally reached her destination, a small hotel she rented one of the rooms
Somewhere else...
The young teen from earlier dropped the bag full of food onto the rundown table. He took off his shoes to throw them aside as he ruffled his raven-black hair
His deep sapphire eyes scanned his room, checking for anything that was missing, well there was one thing but it wasn't worth mentioning
He took off his light armor and threw them into a pile of the same pieces of armor. He went into the bathroom and took a shower, changing clothes and then coming out to the main room
His 'home' is a abandoned apartment complex that he found, he found the most spacious room to live in. He wasn't living like this because he was poor, heavens no, he was living like this to avoid suspicions
He stretched his arms before locking eyes onto the irregular thing in his room
"What are you doing here?"
The exquisite woman that looks almost like them, same raven-black hair, deep blue sapphire eyes and a sharp jawline. Anyway, the woman on his bed laughed, stretched her limbs before saying in a teasing tone
"What? Can't your mother be with her son?" she grinned
The young teen groaned and rubbed his face
"You're my 'god' mother, not my biological mother"
The woman on his bed shrugged before saying
"Same thing"
The young teen stared at her some more before trying to pull her off this mattress. She immediately gripped onto the bed to prevent herself from being pulled away
The young teen grunted and finally managed to pull her off the bed and onto the cold hard floor. He immediately took the chance and jumped over her to lay in his own bed
The woman stared at him angrily before standing up to sit on his chair with a smirk before asking
"How did you get away from those people? And what did I say about robbing?"
The young teen on the bed stared into the celling silently, he then spoke
"To answer the first question, I simply hid into the crowd and made an illusion of me running into a dead end. For the second question, I tried to pay but they immediately assumed I was shoplifting, so I had to dash" the young teen rolled his eyes before closing them
His ability of making illusions isn't anything noteworthy, but can be used in situations like this to trick your enemies
The woman on the chair sighed before asking
"Are you planning on going hunting tonight?" the woman frowned at the thought
The young teen nodded, and slowly the curse of Sloth took over and he fell asleep, followed by the cold embrace of dreams...
There was blood, too much blood really, and then there was fire, eating away at everything, and he ran, ran so far he lost his way, then, a beautiful angel saved him....
Then he woke up in a cold sweat, sitting upright with speed that shouldn't be possible for a human
The woman on the chair glanced at him before asking
"Bad dreams?"
The young teen nodded before she spoke again
"By the way, your horns are showing"
The young teen moved his hands up to feel his horns, sharp as they always were, breathing slowly to calm himself worked to make the horns go away
He was a Daemon, a half-demon, half-human hybrid, in this world, Daemons were frowned upon, hated by everyone, punishable by death even. Usually the horns only show when under extreme stress or emotions, but not all Deamons have horns, some have tails, some have wings
Calming himself to hide his horns and for the upcoming battle he would need to participate in
His godmother seemed concerned with her godson but she didn't try to push, instead she asked
"When are you going out?"
The young teen exhaled loudly before saying
"Now" he rubbed his head with a frown before getting ready
He dawned his skin-tight bodysuit again with light armor on top, he draped a cloak over his shoulders to hide his face, he also grabbed a sword he had and put it in his scabbard
His godmother clapped happily at the sight before asking with a smile
"Do you need me to come with?" she raised an eyebrow
The young teen shook his head before exiting the apartment through the window and landing on a rooftop
He walked along the rooftop for awhile until finding the building he was supposed to enter. He jumped from the side to catch himself onto the window and broke through it, landing softly on the ground, he looked up
A crying woman, tied to the floor with multiple corpses around her in a circle, their blood marked into a demonic circle
Multiple cultist stared at him before one of them ran at him with a knife, screaming something
The teen sidestepped the clumsy attack to grab the cultist by the arm and twisting his body to throw it at another cultist, both of them slammed onto the wall, completely shattering their ribs, if they don't get immediate emergency attention, they would die a painful death, but the young teen didn't care
Another cultist stared at the two cultist that was crushed against each other in fear before turning his head to already see the teen descent upon him like a omen of death. Grabbing him by the head, he exerted all of his strength to crush the man's skull, which he did quickly, he threw the body away before turning his eyes onto the last two
One of them had a kitchen knife in his hand, while the other had a gun in his, this type of gun is the more cheaper version of a revolver
They say you need to be faster than a bullet to dodge one, but all you have to do is be faster than the person pulling the trigger
When the teen saw the person finger curling to pull the trigger, he deduced at where the bullet would fly towards at how the cultist pointed the weapon
The teen ducked down and dashed, the bullet flying over him as he unsheathed his sword to disbowel the shooter. He watched as the person screamed in horror as his guts spilled out
He slowly turned to the other one, he was terrified and tried begging for his life, saying things like "they forced me too!" or "I wanted to stop them but they had a gun!" useless things like that
He slowly approached him until the cultist was backed into a corner as he crying his eyes out
He placed a hand on his shoulder, his warm hands feels nice, until it wasn't. The cultist died from burning alive in flames
The teen watched with an expressionless face, thinking
'Guess you weren't as pure as you thought you were' with that, he turned around to look at the young woman
The young woman seemed scared of him as he slowly approached, bending his knees to kneel before the woman
His hands reached out and the woman closed her eyes, prepared to die in flames just like the man who killed her family died, instead, she felt the rope holding her down turning loose
She opened her eyes to see the cloaked man slowly untie her restrains, first her wrists, then her ankles. The second she was free, she backed away slowly
The young teen looked at her before gesturing for her to call the authorities. He then jumped out of her window
Somewhere else....
The whole charade was watched by a woman with red hair and crimson eyes, with a small smile on her face
