The (Un)lucky!

Three days passed and James ran out of food. There was no other choice but to go outside as his hunger started to cloud his thoughts. He took his sunglasses and walked straight towards the market.

Again he sees two enhancers holding a demon down. However, the demon used the skill which boost his speed and cut one's neck. While, the second one manages to inject him with some sort of drug. Causing the demon to groan in pain.

James shivers from the memory of how an enhancer injected him with the same drug. The pain was unbearable.

He ignores them and walks straight to the market. He walks through the entrance and the security guard stops him.

"Glasses sir."

"H-huh? What do you mean by that?"

James knows exactly what he means. Guard wants to see his eyes to see if he was a demon or a human. But in panic, he started to act dumb.

"Two days ago, a demoness wearing sunglasses came here and killed seven people and escaped. She did all that just for the sake of killing. She didn't steal anything. Just killed people and ran."

James became nervous as he was not sure how to deal with this situation. If he shows his eyes, the man will see his demonized eyes and if he runs, he will be suspicious. He decided to try and talk his way out of this.

"H-how horrible. What a monster! So… Was she caught?"

"No sir. She escaped by using shadows. Probably an assassin type."

"Probably?"

She? It's not him. However, James becomes sincerely curious as he didn't know much about the demon's classes.

"Yeah, he moved weirdly, there were also signs of him using dark magic and even healing."

Another elite class maybe?

"And you say healing, was she hurt?"

"Yes, a high leveled enhancer was shopping here at the time and managed to hurt her, however… The enhancer was killed. What's worse, that bastard revived that poor guy as a zombie and killed three more people!"

Necromancy. A rare but very powerful ability. Just by reviving the dead, a demon can easily level up by killing masses of people and what's worse a necromancer can stay hidden and just watch the show. Especially this necromancer who can move in the shadows. She probably is a high level, who almost reached enough experience to level up.

"A-anyways, can you tell me what hour it is?" James asks as he will try to use 'would you look at the time' on the security guard.

"Sir, just take away your glasses, why are you acting so suspicious?"

James pales as he hears this. Soon he sees two enhancers walking past the market.

"Hey, excuse me!" the security guard raises his hand and calls out enhancers. "This young fellow refuses to take off his glasses and acts very suspicious!"

When enhancers hear this, they start to walk towards James and the guard.

"Sir, please kindly remove your glasses." one of the enhancers demands.

The security guard puts his hand on James' shoulder and waits for the enhancers. However, James pushes him away and begins to run. The guard falls on his back and watches as enhancers chase James. Enhancers start shouting and demanding James to stop running.

"Demon! Stop running!"

"Don't make this harder than it should be."

One of the enhancers picks up a phone and calls for backup. To James, this is a nightmare. He pinches himself as he runs and feels the pain.

"Oh god, this cannot be happening!"

This is becoming a terrible situation. He often comes to this market, and cameras will definitely recognize him.

"Over, it's all ******* over!"

He wipes his tears as he runs. He doesn't know where he is running, he just wanted to getaway. However, in panic, he missed the turn and ran to the dead end. He hears steps behind him and remembers he had a skill. Shadow walking.

He stands and keeps checking behind him. The steps are getting closer and closer. He raises his hands, closes his eyes, and shouts.

"Shadow walking!"

But nothing happened. He keeps standing with his hands raised. His hands start shaking as his last hope failed.

"H-how the hell to activate that stupid skill?!?

He puts his hands on his head and starts shouting.

"Useless, what's the use of this stupid skill if I don't know how to ******* activate it?!?"

Suddenly he hears a shout. He looks back and sees the enhancers had caught up to him. All kinds of thoughts began rushing through his head, one of them was to give himself in."

"I wonder, what do they do to the demons. Where will they take me." he thinks as he lowers his hands.

He sees five enhancers. All of them were holding spears pointed at him. The spear's head was emitting some sort of red light.

James wonders, what will happen now. Will, they imprison him? Or maybe they have a cure!

"There's nowhere for you to run. Give yourself in, and we will make this painless. you ******* monster!"

However, the sentence made by an enhancer pushed away all the delusions that James had. He kneels as the tears fall down his face. He keeps wiping them out to no prevail.

"I-I never wanted this *sob* I-I… It's not my fault this happened to me! I only wanted to live in solitude. I never wanted to harm anyone… I just wanted to watch old movies, read books… I wanted to *sob* live!"

Enhancers surround him as he kneels on the ground and begs for mercy. On top of the rooftop, a demon that created all this mess stands and observes. He is prepared to jump in at any moment and save James, however, he gets a vision of the future. He and his shadow both start to smirk.

"Tell that to your maker!"

One of the enhancers stabs him through the heart with his spear. Electricity begins flowing within James, burning him alive. However, they notice that something is terribly wrong. They step back and watch James's trembling body.

"W-wait, step back!

"How is he still alive? I pierced his heart!"

"Hey, do you have the orb?"

One of the enhancers quickly takes something out of the storage bag. It was a beautiful black crystal orb. This orb is used to check the levels and ranks of both the enhancers and demons.

The enhancer who checks James begins to tremble.

"Well? What is his rank?"

"S-sir… H-he is triple S. A SSS ranked demon. We need to call for reinforcements"

They look at James, who was now lying down without consciousness. And begins to wonder, why a SSS rank demon is so weak. Something must be wrong.

[Due to the host's unstable mental state, the host will be put on autopilot mode and will act on the instinct]

Enhancers pale as they see James begins to smirk. Moments later he begins to giggle and after that laugh like a maniac.

"Hehe. Hehehe... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
