a corpse?

The dazzling light of dawn forced my two heavy eyes to open, the dawn breeze gently touched my cheek, one thing I thought about the first time I took a breath, as soon as I woke up.

"Huh, I live again, apparently .." I complained after sighing in disappointment.

When I wanted to move my two feet, at that moment I realized that I was currently hanging by my neck tied to a tree trunk. "What is this? Did I just kill myself? " I felt my neck to make sure, that this root were literally wrapped around my neck.

"It turns out that you and me, both have the same thoughts, huh .." then I held the ties wrapped around my neck, and turned my body backwards. after that stepping my feet on the big tree that I hang myself before.

The knot looks haphazard, as long as the tie is important but it is not thought how long it can last, "very carelessly." I can see that the roots have been binding for quite a while, maybe around 24 hours, because now they look quite weak and easy to open.

after I opened the ties that were wrapped around my neck before, I felt the marks of his stinging and painful ties around my neck. "I feel like I've been hanging for a long time, but why didn't I die? Or .." I looked at the tree roots hanging on the big and lush tree trunk where I hung before.

"before this body was already dead, then maybe I fell and accidentally. possessed it, but it's still weird ... "

I again felt my neck where there were still marks from the deep roots of the tree, "why don't I stretch and feel in pain like I should?"

"Y-you !! How can you still alive, devil ?? !!! " Exclaimed an old man who was surprised when he saw me, while pointing a pitchfork at my face. still alive? So they're the ones hanging on my neck right here? ah, very disappointing .. so this girl doesn't have the same thoughts as me apparently ..

But, is he said..Devil?

.. no wonder.

There were horns above my ears, and a long tail that had been wagging around, how could I not notice?

"Get away from our village or I'll burn you alive !!" he exclaimed, then after that several men appeared behind him and each carrying a weapon in their hand. "How do you burn me, if the way you hang me is wrong?"

"Hah?!!"

I walked towards them, trembling legs and nervous face making my heart pound as if my stamina was slowly replenishing, but still, it didn't excite me.

"If from what I see, it looks like you asked them to tie that bad knot around my neck," I pointed at the old man who was standing in front of the young people behind him, "you did tell them to tie the rope tightly, so I won't fall easily. But, you do not think about the consequences of how long the ties will last, not after a day the ties have started to loosen and are easy to untie. "

"Shut up you devil !!" one of the men behind him pointed his spear at me with an irritated face, "A devil like you has no right to doubt the Master!!"

"Hm .. that's just right," somehow seeing stupid subordinates like this makes me furious, "if you just gonna do like this, there isn't a single devil you can beat," I looked at them, "let alone beat the devil, you can't even protect yourself."

"SHUT UP YOU FUCK!!!"

"Laxus, stop !!"

Ah, I thought this would happen. The chief of this little party who loves his subordinates too much, and the subordinates who don't get any lessons to protect themselves from danger, because their chief always protected and attacked first without giving them a chance to develop, make this party a mess.

His way of pointing his sword at me was wrong, just one dodge and putting the back of my foot in front of his step made the young man full of enthusiasm fall on the hard ground. "so useless."

It hasn't been a while since his friend fell on the ground, the one who I thought wouldn't move even when he saw the blood in front of him was currently aiming his two daggers randomly at me.

As I thought before, even if these seven men attacked me at the same time, nothing would change. I will still win this fight.

"Haah .. Haah .. please spare our life.." begged the chief who was already battered while kneeling in front of me.

seeing the chief begging for forgiveness, seemed to drop the pride of his subordinates who had tried to defend him.

I squatted in front of the chief who couldn't even raise his knees properly, "how strange," I said flatly as I tilted my head to see his face which was full of cold sweat, "even though I only lasted and you were the one attacking me, but why are you all so battered?"

"It's because you are a devil !! Devils have a lot of power, when compared to us who are just peasants, you can kill us easily !! You guys are cheating! You murderer !! " snapped one of his subordinates who somehow got that wounds on his face. "Shut up Gio !!"

"Answer that doesn't make a sense," I stood up, "even though I only avoided and defend myself, but why do you even blame me who is in the form of a devil like this?"

"The demonic powers only act at night, and they will fall asleep during the day. Isn't that the same as you humans who are active during the day and sleep at night? "

"Don't equate us with underworld creatures like you !!"

"Well, we are not the same." I looked at him lazily through my narrowed eyelids in annoyance, "but you are too weak to be called the most perfect creatures of the gods."

Seeing them staring at me with wide eyes, at the same time I thought that it was very rare for a demon like me to say that humans were perfect creatures, especially when I said God in front of them. Well, it's no wonder they look at me strangely like that.

"huh .. how troublesome.." Instead of dealing with people like them, it's better if I find food.

After seeing their previous fear which made my heart beat quite fast, and replenishing my stamina. that's when I believed that the memories of this body could be trusted.

I guess it's just my thoughts of demons influenced by day and night, as well as their fear slowly filling up my almost exhausted stamina. Even though this body's soul has left, it seems like it still leaves its memories inside this horned head.

Although not everything I can remember well, like how could those people be able to catch me who is a devil and even hang my neck begging easily for example.

I walked past the roots of the trees that had sprung up and the tall grass that even passed my waist. my stamina had replenished, but still I was starving.

After look around here and there, and eating the fruit I encountered on my way, finnaly my eyes caught a river at the end of the forest. Because the water is clear, I can see several fish chasing each other inside.

I can feel the saliva dripping from between my lips, and my heart is beating fast with enthusiasm, this is the feeling of excitement I've been waiting for.

I took out the dagger that I secretly took from one of the pockets of the person I met earlier.

"hm .. this isn't called stealing, is it?" once again I watched the sharp dagger in my right hand at this time carefully, "it's okay, I just borrowed it anyway, when I finished I'll return it."

Having no hook or rope to tie the bait, the spear was the only option. with a single little dagger like this, it can't directly stab a fish that swam rapidly in the water, so a spear was the only option.

After cutting the log along the riverbank, I tapered the end of the log using a dagger and then when I was ready with the spear, and the fish bowl which I made after making the spear, then I walked towards the river which was filled with big and delicious fish.

"Come to think of it, don't devils have powers? I wonder what power this skinny body has. " For a few minutes I watched the thin hands and the ribs arising from this torn shirt, and I could tell that this body was indeed malnourished. "Did she just eat fear from humans before, huh? Then she is just a fool who— "

My words stopped the moment I saw something bigger than a fish, as well as a dry log drifting in the river.

See it sparkling in the sunshine, and sound as it crashes into the rocks of the river. The first time I thought that it was the pot trash that was drifting in the river, I had started to have prejudice about the villagers who were stupid because they had thrown garbage in the river, but after I brought my steps closer to a large object that stuck on the rocks on the riverbank ..

That's when all my thoughts changed the moment I saw, "corpse ..?"
