Chapter 1: Summoning

*I just recently moved into the apartment that I inherited from my late grandfather, and I haven't had time to completely sort out my things yet, but I've just cleaned up. Sitting down on the sofa, I exhaled and thought to myself:* 

"My God, there's so much more of this stuff! And I told you back then that Grandpa needed to figure this out!" 

*I took the photo that was standing on the bedside table next to the sofa, and after slightly wiping it, I smiled tenderly: after all, it depicted a little me with my grandfather, and after a little nostalgia about the past, I smiled slightly and put it back in its place. Getting up from the couch, he stretched and said:* 

"Well, let's get out of here! It was lucky that the move happened during the holidays." 

*I exhaled and became sad, remembering that I had to go back to university in 2-3 days, but there was nothing to do, so I went to sort out the closet. When I got to it, I turned on the light and, opening the door, saw an even bigger pile of junk that I was leaving at the end. Scratching his head, he thought:* 

"My God, I'll be sorting this out until tomorrow! Grandpa, why would you keep all this stuff?" 

*I looked around, and a strange book that looked very old and battered immediately fell into my eyes. I said:* 

"Wow, what's this, and why haven't I seen it before?" 

*I reached out and picked up this book. Pulling it towards me, a pile of boxes almost fell on me, and I, pulling harder, fell to the floor, and the boxes fell on top of me, but I successfully dodged them and, wiping my forehead with my sleeve, said:* 

"God, I'm so lucky!" 

*I looked at the book, saw a strange sign, and, getting up from the floor, walked quietly into the hall, sat down on the sofa and, calming down, opened the book and began to leaf through. With each page, my face became more animated, and after a while I laughed hard and said:* 

"Well, what kind of nonsense are demons? Grandpa, did you really believe in such nonsense? Also tell me that magic exists!" 

*I stopped at a badly worn page and barely read it aloud.:* 

"When... summoning demons?" 

*I could barely contain my laughter, but, becoming interested, I tucked my legs under me and said :* 

"Well, what do they say here? It even became interesting!" 

*I started reading the draft list.:* 

"You will need to: draw a pentagram on the floor where you want to summon a demon, place candles on the sides, keep the room in the shade from sunlight and moonlight, and then drop a drop of your blood." 

*I laughed weakly and said:* 

"Seriously, that's it? And where is the animal sacrifice or crucifixion?" 

*I nodded to myself, making a note, and then started reading the book.:* 

"After summoning, a demon of the type with which you performed the ritual will appear in front of you and fulfill your wish, after which he will ask for the price that is worth it. If it's a simple wish, then he will ask for more of your blood, and if it's a strong wish, he can take your soul or the life of someone close to you!" 

*I grinned and said softly,:* 

"Huh, Grandpa, what kind of nonsense were you writing here?" 

*I turned over the page where the classification of demons was, but the pages were torn out, and I said with a half-sad smile:* 

"It's probably a pity that I can't read this funny book in full!" 

*I went back to the page where the appeal was, and I had a funny but stupid idea in my head – to use this appeal and prove to myself that this book is nothing more than a joke. Repeating the recipe again, I began to think where to spend it, and, looking at the floor of my apartment, I nodded to myself and, putting this book on the sofa, went up and pulled the curtains, took the red chalk in his hands and, gently pressing on the chalk, drew a pentagram and said softly:* 

"God forbid, this chalk won't erase, I don't want everyone to think that I'm some kind of psycho who believes in this crap." 

*I lit 5 candles and put stars in the corners, and then I picked up the book again and read:* 

"So, all that remains is to drop and read this crap." 

*I looked at this and grinned, because I understood that nothing would happen, but there was still some doubt inside me, because my grandfather was completely sane, but he wrote this book anyway, and once again I exhaled and began to read strange words.* 

|2 hours before that - Demon World - Acheron Clan Mansion| 

*Reina was walking in the garden near the mansion with a maid and admiring the view of the property of her Acheron clan, because she was the daughter of the head, and leaning on the railing, said:* 

"What a wonderful view, though!" 

*Then a guard flies up to her and very quickly:*

"Princess, the portal between the human and demon worlds has been attacked again! The head has already left, and they need your support!

*Reina nodded anxiously and, running to her room, put on a combat suit and, taking her sword, flew towards the portal.* 

|After 10 minutes| 

*Reyna flew to the battlefield and, seeing her wounded father, rushed to him and hugged him, saying:* 

"Father, are you okay?" 

*Her father coughed up some blood and hugged her, saying:* 

"Daughter, I'm fine, and you made it just in time." 

*Reina looked into his eyes and nodded weakly, walked away from him and said:* 

"Father, what happened? Did the enemies strengthen and decide to attack at the same time?* Her father nodded and said:* 

"You're almost right, their leader has come out this time, so if we can win, we'll cool their ardor for several decades." 

*Reina nodded and, taking the sword out of the pocket and spreading her wings, said:* 

"Okay, Father, then I will try to help in this battle. We can't let them enter this portal." 

*Her father nodded, but grabbing her hand, he said with a gentle and kind smile:* 

"The main thing is to survive, you are the hope of our family." 

*Reina smiled at him and nodded, saying:* 

"I promise, Father, I'll be back!" * Her father watched as Reyna flew away, and, smiling tenderly, said:"Your mother and I are proud of you." 

*He turned around and, keeping up, ran to the place where the head of the capture demons was, and said:* 

"Well, let's have some fun, guys!" 

*At that time, Reyna was fighting with other soldiers of the Acheron clan and was winning this battle, and when she deflected another blow from the enemy, everyone felt a strange energy, and everyone, including the capture demons, stopped and looked to the side, to where this energy was coming from, and it was coming from the portal, and Rayna said:* 

"What's happening?" 

*Then a part of the portal fell down, and this blow resounded throughout the battlefield, and there was surprise in the eyes of the Acheron clan warriors, and the capture demons decided to take advantage of this moment and, only then to figure it out, began to attack, and one of the shooters fired an arrow and hit Reina's hand, and the arrow did not enter very well deep, and with a gasp, she pressed her hand to the spot of the hit and turned towards the shooter to use her wings to get closer to him and cut him with a sword. The battle continued.* 

|After 1 hour and 30 minutes| 

*The head of the Acheron clan was able to defeat the leader of the invading demons, the soldiers of the Acheron clan rejoiced and killed the suppressed soldiers of the invading demons with even more enthusiasm, and after a while they were able to kill more invaders, and when the head of the clan arrived on the battlefield, he saw Reina lying, and the doctors were hovering around her, and the head ran up to her and said with excitement in his voice:* 

"My daughter, what's wrong with her?!" 

*The medics bowed and said calmly:*

"Your daughter is fine, the wounds are not deep, and she is slowly recovering." 

*Reina smiled and said, looking at her father:* 

"Father, it's okay, it's just minor wounds, they'll heal quickly, so don't worry." * Her father nodded and said:"Don't worry, daughter, we won, so you can live in peace." 

*She nodded and, closing her eyes, the doctors carried her to the medical department, and her father looked at the portal, which was missing a small part of the structure, and exhaled, said:* 

"What happened if this portal collapsed? You will need to read about this in the notes of the previous chapters." 

|After 28 minutes| 

*Everyone was recovering from the battle, and the head came back and sat next to his Reina and told her:* 

"Well, daughter, what do you think caused the portal to collapse? I need to hear your opinion." 

*Reyna sat up and nodded, saying:* 

"I believe it could have been an invader attack, but I can't completely guess." 

*Reyna was lying on the bed already in her usual form (a purple dress with cutouts for wings and a tail). Her father nodded and said:* 

"Okay, I'll take your suggestion into account at the council with the elders, then I'll go." 

*Her father got up and went to the door, but as he approached the door, he felt a strange energy and, turning around, he saw seals appear under the Rhine, and without having time to warn her, he ran to her and, holding out his hand, said:* 

"My daughter, no!" 

*He didn't have time to touch it, as it disappeared, and he hit the floor, where cracks appeared, and he gritted his teeth and said:* 

"Damn you!!" 

|Present time - The World of people - Ashina's apartment| 

*I had almost finished reading the spell, and when I finished reading it, I opened my eyes and saw that nothing was happening at first, and exhaling, I said:* 

"Well, I told you, it's nonsense." 

*I was already up when a strong wind blew from the seal, and it was so strong that it blew out the candles, and I covered my face with my hands and said:* 

"What the hell is going on?!" 

*After a couple of minutes, the wind stopped blowing, and I took my hands away, looked, and my eyes opened wide: I saw that in the pentagram there was a girl with long purple hair, bat-like wings, in a purple dress and with a thin tail, and I said softly:* 

"Yours....."
