Demonic games

James slowly gets up. He keeps laughing and shaking his head. Enhancers look at him with terror in his eyes. Before he showed no signs of power but now, the energy James emits is making them dizzy.

"No, no, no! This won't do! I need to protect myself, I need to fight back!"

James's eyes glow red. He walks towards the enhancers and extends his hands towards them.

One of the enhancers takes the dagger out of his storage bag rushes towards James and punches him in the face. With a dagger in his other hand, he cuts James's neck.

James's nose was bleeding, he closes his eyes and giggles once again. His expression turns naughty as he bits into his lower lip.

"Harder daddy! Harder!"

James waited for a few moments and noticed that the enhancer isn't attacking him, so he grabbed the enhancer by his throat and crushed it with his bare hands. And then he tossed his towards the garbage disposal box that was near the wall.

The other five enhancers could only watch in fear how their partner was murdered

"Hehehe. This one was no fun! Hehe, I accidentally broke him too soon. Come on boys, give me your best shot! Hit me! Punch me! Stab Me!"

James's cheeks were red as he kept rubbing them with his hands. He blushed from the thought of punishing these five people that dared to awaken him so early in his evolution.

James walked towards the wall and disappeared into the shadows. All he could see was darkness, but due to the instincts of a demon, he always knew where he was.

Behind of enhancer, from the shadows appeared a hand, it slowly reached the enhancer's leg. James grabs his leg and pulls the man into the shadow. The other enhancers watch helplessly as their partner disappears into the shadow.

In the shadow realm, time is slowed by about 10 times so James takes his time, torturing the man as he is the shadow realm can not move at all. Only demons with shadow affinity can move within that realm.

For a few minutes the enhancers stood there, they called for the reinforcements and kept waiting. The elite squad is on the way.

Suddenly James reappears from the shadow on the wall and extends his both clenched hands towards the enhancers.

"I have a gift for you boys, choose the hand! And we will play the game!"

Jame has a naughty expression on his face. He watches the enhancers with excitement. He starts to feel hot inside as he watches them lose their hope.

"Don't make me ask again! Which hand!"

One of the enhancers decided to play along with James, just so he could buy time till the elite squad arrives.

"R-right… Right hand."

"Hehehe"

He unclenches his fist and shows what he holds. It was the teeth of the one, who got dragged into the shadow realm. James chuckles as he starts explaining the rules.

"The rules are simple, the one who chose the hand will lose one of what I had in it! since it's a tooth, you will lose one tooth!~ Everyone else will lose all, of what is in my other hand! teehee~

He unclenches his left hand and shows what's in it. A human eye!

"You're lucky, you will only lose a tooth! Your friends tho… hehe~ are losing their eyes!"

The enhancers trembles at the expression that James had on his face. He looked at them as if they were prey or toys for him to play with. This was the nature of a demon. A wicked creature, who's only driven by his instincts, self-amusement, and greed.

James disappears in the shadows once again and reappears behind another enhancer. One by one he pulled them all except the one who decided to play the game into the shadow realm where he tortured them.

Soon they were all released from the shadow realm. The player could only watch as his partners showed up from the shadows groaning in pain. They held their hands on their face, as their eyes' sockets were bleeding.

"Look at the bright side boys, at least you're alive!~ teehee"

James tosses the groaning enhancers onto the ground and steps over them while walking towards the last one.

"Now, you're!~ don't worry dear, it won't hurt… Too much!~"

James rushed to the man who held the spear in a defense position. James grabs the spear and takes it away. After that, he breaks the spear in two.

"You're the last one! You know, you touched my heart… Quite literally!~ Hehe"

James forces his fingers into the enhancer's mouth. The enhancer pales from the horror, he wants to scream he wants to run away. But he can't. The horror petrified him from within. All he could do was stand and let James do what he wants to do. Soon James rips his teeth out. James takes the hand of the enhancer and gives him the teeth,

"Think of this as a souvenir. Hehe. My gift to you."

An enhancer clenches his fist and stares at James's face. His breath was slow and uneven. He feels like the time slowed down.

Suddenly, James looks around and comes closer to the face of the enhancer. He kisses his cheek and blushes.

"This was really fun!~ I hope, we can do this again someday!~"

James walks toward the wall that has a shadow on it. He walks straight into the wall and disappears within shadows.

"Bye!~"

An enhancer hears the goodbye from James and when he sees him disappear into the shadows he relaxes. His legs got numb and suddenly he kneels out of relief. He realizes that they shouldn't mess with this demon. They should have called for an elite squad from the very beginning. However, this demon acted like he was a weak one, so they had no idea how powerful he might be.

The man on the rooftop was thrilled at seeing James' demonic self. To him, James' demonized for is the perfect candidate to be his partner. Both in crime and in love. Even his shadow was trembling from the excitement. Even tho the demon just stared and grinned while looking at the enhancers. His shadow kept flying from wall to wall. It showed how the demon feels.

The demon walked towards the shadow.

"Can you please stop moving around? I want to use you as a portal!"

The shadow nods, and get's stuck to the demon, like it is supposed to normally be. The demon starts to sink into the shadow and soon disappears.

*Hour later in the opposite side of the city*

James wakes up, again his clothes drenched in blood. He leans to the wall and begins to cry. He sits down and silently sobs.

"This is it. I am a fugitive. I probably killed all those people"

He doesn't remember anything after he was stabbed. All he knows is that he is in an unknown place completely drenched in blood. He checks his pocket and finds there some teeth. He throws them into the wall.

"What do I do now? Where do I go? How do I live?"

He has many questions and none of the answers. He doesn't have anyone to tell him what to do. Nor anyone to help him. To a human society, he is a monster that will never be redeemed. A being that is not worth any pity or love.

Suddenly, he hears a cracking sound coming from the wall. He looks at it with indifferent eyes, as he already lost his all will to live, but curiosity has still gotten him and he decided to check. He gets up and sees a shadow on a wall getting bigger, so he checks behind him if there is anything. But he sees nothing behind him. Shadow was growing on its own. Suddenly, from the shadow comes out a person. James expression turns cold as he shouts

"Y-you! It's you!!!"
