2 Beginning of madness

Ugh my head...Uhhhh What?

The moment I woke up I saw everything around me. No waking slowly and no blury vision I simply saw everyrthing around me. The ground, The tree tops, and the area surronding me clear as day.

...Im seeing things...yes...maybe i should look for anything dream like.

After paying special attention I saw a corpse...nothing wierd...So i guess the body dumping was real...Shit...okay I have to check it.

I tried to walk to a tree and grab a nearby branch to toss at the corpse since this is exactly what some mad torturer would do...Unfortunately I cant move

...Shit he betrayed me didnt he...I shoulve killed that bastard and burned his corpse...no its fine its impossible for that merchant to abandon me...Then again dont know if there are any rumors surronding my partner...

I countinued to try to move eventally succeeding in moving a step ahead towards the corpse. In what direction I have no idea.

Some wierd drug was used on me huh...Shit he did betray me...

I continued to move slowly making my way to the corpse.

Eventually I made it to the corpse. The moment I arrived at its legs I regretted everything.

There's no head but thats my body but thats my skin, those are MY scars, and those are MY clothes, and MY worn out leather shirt and pants with clearly MY bag full of silvers.

...HAHAHAHA NICE TRY AS IF ILL FALL FOR THIS...

I began to reach my arm out to tear off the corpses pants.

Instead if seeing a brown skinned arm I saw a strange blue liqued.

Huh?

I continued to move my arm swinging it around and bending it unfortunately the blue liqued copied everything I made my arm do.

Actually I cant see my legs...If I see everything why cant I see my legs?

...Shit dont tell me those dumb stories are real...no this has to be a dream...Yeah im sure if I wait a bit ill wake up.

-A bit later-

Come on wake up...WAKE UP....WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP...No no no those stories cant be true...its impossible...I CANT BE TRAPPED DAMN IT!

...I know if I wait ill wake up...yeah I just need to sit still.

I began to stay still eventually trying fall asleep thinking ill wake up since you cant dream in a dream...

Even after waiting so long nothing happened. As I waited I began to grow hungry.

The hunger continued to grow as I waited growing every second pains eventually appearing and increasing along with my hunger.

Eventually it was simply to much. I looked for something to eat around me anything but the dirt.

Fuck Fuck Fuck it hurts so god damned much.

Eventually I decided to just eat the leaves on the ground as Im definitely to weak to tear bark of the trees.

I picked up one of the leafs off the ground and ate it completely ignoring the fact that the blue liqued picked the leaf wrapped itself around it then dissolved it.

Yeah this is all a dream...Yeah I just fell asleep a little hungry thats all.

I began to grab more leafes eating them till I was full.

As I ate the leafes the blue liqued began to turn black eventually becoming black sand. It still moved the same it simply changed colors and looks.

Seeing this I decided to stiffen up my arm just to see how far it could copy.

The moment my arm stiffened up I suddenly fell down the black sand turning into a rock.

Huh?

"Guess I was right about you huh...Good job me."

This voice...

"Hello hello there my new and favorite child. How do you like your new body. Actually dont answer that ofcourse you love it."

I immediatly looked for the source of that voice

I saw A man...He has horns...His legs arent human...Hes covered in purple scales...

"Alright then I believe you already know me. Now tell me about yourself."

...The king of demons?

" Yup you get ten points now let me be the first to say this isnt a dream."

...Theyre real...no No NO THEY CANT BE REAL!

"Yeah not all of those stupid stories are real but some of them are. ANYWAYS congratulations on being one of the very few to catch my attention.

...no...no please let me go...please.

"Sure but before that how about you do something for me. Oh and dont worry I wont eat a soul as new as you."

...What do I do?

"Do what you always do and set up traps to kill some things. Ahh but youll have to be the trap."

Thats it?

"Yup oh and real quickly I have to say no matter how much you eat to youll never be as strong as me okay."

You are the strongeest demon and im no idiot so I wont ever try to harm my liege.

"You really did keep a lot huh...Hey if you fill yourself up four times and make it deep enough Ill let go with a special gift."

Thankyou my liege.

"Oh and your leafy meal doesnt count. Figure out how to hunt on your own and umm what was it give me a moment."

Of course my liege.

"Fuck it Ill tell you when I remember now heres a free stomach full."

Suddenly a bunch of lights surronded me frome every angle.

"Wait I remember now. Don't eat anything other than souls."

....Yes my liege.

"Alright bye bye have a good time and other things see you soon."

...

He's gone...This is a lot worse than being drugged...no its fine killings my specialty.

I began to eat all the bright lights surronding me one by one.

...These taste pretty good...

The more I ate the more black sand would wrap around the other lights...no everytime I ate a soul my bite grew bigger...

I ate and I ate and ate until eventually I couldn't think anymore. My body began moving on its own eating as much as it could as fast as it can.

After a while there where no more souls but even so I continued to look for more.

After finding none my sanity returned to me.

...I died...im a soul...no a demon...and I just ate innocent souls...I ATE INNOCENT SOULS...WHY WASN'T I THINKING!!!!

...That bastard...he did something to me...he made me into an idiot...no just an idiot around him...I kept a lot WHAT DID I KEEP YOU BASTARD....

I want to talk...I want to scream...I want to hear my voice from my mouth...WHY WHY WHY DAMN IT...

...no matter how much you eat youll never be stronger than me. Huh...maybe if I eat enough ill be able to eat him...no...but if people died here they definitely werent good...I mean look at me...Yeah...Ill hunt...ill hunt everything including you...
