༄chapter 1༄

A small clink of a lighter could be heard, igniting its flames in all its glory, a cigarette was lit against it, pulling back the cigar in his lips was seemed to be a man.

The man had noticeable dark blue wavy hair which was held up by a ponytail similarly he had dark blue eyes matching with his hair. He wore a simple navy suit with a white shirt underneath with a few of his shirt buttons undone.

He was walking through quite a quiet street, he saw little to no people around him. As he was walking down the street he accidentally had rubbed his shoulders against what seemed to be a woman.

"Oh I'm certainly sorry," the man said as he offered help to the woman he had struck

The woman blushed when he saw the man in front of him but accepted his help.

"Sorry for that, perhaps I could repay it with some lunch?"

The woman seemed to be happy at his request which she happily accepted to it.

As they were walking towards the city the man had appeared to be walking in some circles.

"Don't mind me, just some shortcuts here and there" the man said as he pointed to a narrow alleyway to which The woman seemed a bit nervous about going in.

"Um, do you think that's a good idea, mister...?"

"Think it's the best idea! Chop chop to the lunchbox!"

The man then took her hand towards the alleyway but in midst of the walk, the woman slapped his hand away. This time she didn't look nervous rather that she had a big smirk on her face as she slowly chuckled.

"You thought you could trick me into this!" The woman continued her so-called evil laugh as the blue-haired man had kept a stoic face in front of her.

"Too bad for you! Your plan failed" her body started showing abnormalities with such cracking noises her body started disfiguring resulting in a large monster with Numerous teeth on her belly.

"SCREAM! SCREAM FOR ME HUMAN!" But before her teeth could bite into him, the dark-haired man clasped his fingers

"Ah you might be wrong there lady, my so-called failed plan went accordingly," he said as a trail of fire followed her belly resulting in high combustion. The monster screamed in agony as she was still reaching for him with her hand.

"Not back down eh?" He said as he kicked her hands away as she slowly burnt to nothing.

"This city seems to have a lot of stray devils... The one in charge lazy or something?"

Ring ring

He was interrupted by the ringing of his phone, he quickly took out the phone from his pocket and answered.

"Heyyy Zac already here in Kuoh?" The caller said with a happy tone in his voice.

"Already had run some errands with a stray devil"

"No wonder, sensed some of your mana a few minutes earlier, you still remember my request do you, Zac?"

"Yeah yeah, hope you have prepared the arrangements Azazel"

"Oh, sure old friend!"

With that their call ended, the man named Zac or Zagreus as his full name got a notification on his phone, just a map leading to his house Azazel prepared for him.

"This should be a nice one Azazel or else I would kill you," Azazel said as he put a cigarette in his mouth.

Scene change

"HEAR ME, YOUNG MAN! IF YOU WANNA LIVE AT MY HOUSE YOU WILL FOLLOW THE RULES! NO PETS! NO NOISE! NO LOVEMAKING AND ALL THAT CRAP AND NO SMOKING!" The old lady said as she snatched the cigarette from Zagreus's mouth and stomped on it which only made Zagreus Drop a sweat.

'Azazel you damn perv!' Zagreus thought to himself, he knew his damn friend would do shit like this which would make him suffer.

"Hey! Are you listening to me!?" The Old lady brought the man back to his thoughts as he just fixed a smile and nodded to the lady.

"Alright then, Take these keys the door is room 109 it should be upstairs.

"Thanks, Oba-chan," Zagreus said as he head towards his room but he heard a faint 'I am still young' from the landlord which he didn't seem to care about.

The journey to his room was a short one only a few floors up. 'room 109...' The man searched for his room until he finally found it, he quickly unlocked his door to see that his room was quite small, a living room, a bathroom, a small kitchen, and a small bedroom.

'At least it's not filthy...' the dark-haired man thought to himself as he put down his bag and let out a notepad. He started writing a few notes already preparing for the work Azazel his 'dear' friend gave him.

He took out a document which was labeled as 'job files' Azazel did inform him he was supposed to be teaching at a school in this devil-infested city.

'Let's see how much funds did Azazel gave him, as he searched through his bag he found various documents which he put out nicely, and he saw a few pictures the first one he pulled out was a picture of a girl which crimson hair with blue eyes.

'Rias Gremory, Sona Shitori...' Zagreus thought, they both were quite well known in the supernatural world due to the houses they represent, but from his experience before... He would say the girls were not that good at their job...

Also the main thing..."DAMN AZAZEL DIDN'T LEAVE A SINGLE YEN THAT BASTARD!!"

"STAY QUIET BRAT OR I I'LL THROW YOU OUT"

"Sorry..."
