Chapter 10 -limited time - Part 2

As night descended upon the tranquil town, I, Damien, continued to conceal my true identity as a demon. A 10-year-old child on the surface, I wandered through the dimly lit streets alongside Draven, my newfound guardian.

His words about good people and the power of change resonated in my mind, creating ripples of doubt beneath my carefully constructed facade.

Within the depths of my being, the Black Liquid, my enigmatic companion, remained hidden, its presence only perceivable to me. A constant, rhythmic "tik tik tik" acted as a reminder of our mission, urging me to remain steadfast in my purpose—to deliver the orb to the powerful Demon King in 31 days.

Draven and I shared stories, laughter, and moments of silence. The more time I spent with him, the more I grew fond of his genuine kindness and unwavering determination.

Even for a human I would kill eventually. He will serve as a good foundation for memories, I think to myself.
