Come with me

Demon King Darase and his elites demon knights worked night and day on all the information they received. Over a million of women to go through. They decided on the age of the women first. Between eighteen to twenty-five, that cut half of the women. Then the health of the women. Ruling out a thousands of them. They were surrounded by boxes of files of women. They use one big boardrooms to sort through the files.

"My Lord, can you tell us what you are looking for in a bride? We might be able to bring this down a bit more." He sat there thinking more on the subject.

"I never thought about this. This is more than we can handle. No one with a criminal background for one."

"All right that take out fifty thousand women. Let's keep working to see more in to it." All the them looked through their files. Every ten files there was one they miss. Through the night hundreds thousands women were rule out. It's lucky demons do not need a lot of sleep. They can go for ten days at the most. Some for less. But for the elite demons twenty days. The Demon King can go without sleep for one hundred days.

"Now we have four hundred thousand women left. Can we bring it down more?"

"What more can we do?"

"What are we missing?"

"Yes. What are we missing?"

"How about they way they look?"

"Your asking for the impossible. To me humans all look the same."

"Your just think that they are not demon, that they look the same as look at animals. I am corrected."

"I never said that."

"That just the same as you said it."

"You're making things sound worse than what are."

"Just give it up, Gus Luk. We all know you don't like humans."

"Gos Huk, I never said I don't like humans. I just see them all alike." All of them look at Gus Luk. Even the Demon King looked at him.

"Let's move on to the next few women we can take out."

"Right. My Lord. Your next move."

"Mmmm. Let me think." He looked at one of the files. Reading into the documents on this woman. There was something on her having a child by her ex-husband. "How bout woman who have children. We can rule them out. I can say that a woman who has a child already will only think on their child. Never having time for a new relationship or a beginning of a relationship. I seem to recall one of the business partner just got out of a bad marriage. Not wanting to get in to a relationship due to having a child." Taking out another two thousand more women.

The morning came and they stop to eat. It's luck there was a restaurant next door to the company. Jus Luk order food to be delivered to them for the next ten days. Not all work stop in the company. About seven of the elite demons went to see the company continues working. The another five stayed. Half of the day looking through the files. Demon King looked at another file. Learning more about the young lady before him. She had a college degree. He put it down and pick another. Between the two, one was in college and the another was out of college.

"Let's go with the ones that finished college and are in a working in the field."

"What about the ones that never went to college?"

"Let's put them in a separate pile. And let me see them. If I think they are good enough I will consider them." That cut more then half of them. You would think that they would want a higher education. But not all can afford it. One hundred fifty thousand files left.

"My Lord, how far are you cutting the numbers to?"

"I tried to cut it down to less than two thousand. Give or take."

"What about magic my lord?"

"No. Not right now." He pick the next file. Looking through it. He found one thing that he did not see the first time around. This woman can't leave for she was in the military. "Are there some that are in the military if so please remove them."

"Yes my lord."

Another two thousand are remove. Once again he looked at another file. This one had a family member that was serious ill and can not leave their side. Once again he remove those who had the same issue. A thousand of them were remove. Another file was before him. Looking through this file. Learning a few thing about humans was they like to lie. She put on her application she was not married. Only to found out she was married a few days ago. Had a fiancé before she fill out the application.

"Did you found ones that were married days up to now?"

"Well I found about five of them that were. But I remove them."

"I found one."

"Nothing as now my lord."

"No, nothing."

"Not here."

"I found one so if you see any just remove them. I can not see why they are here to begin with."

"Well went we started. All of them are single. About went we did a background check all of these came through."

"All right. Let see want else we can get rid of." Looking once more. He found more to the women. He just hate it going through this but kept going. Finally the rest of the elite demons came back and reported to him of the problem was going on. He put a side the files. Went to his desk and turn on his computer. He worked for two hours. The rest of them went to the restaurant to eat. They lock the door and posted a guard at the door. No one was going in or out. They were not taking any chances with this selection. Two more days of this and they will have the numbers they needed.

The Demon King finishes his work. He got up to see his right hand man. Jus Luk came with food for his Lord. He sat back down.

"My lord, what do you think of this whole selection on the women? I am just wondering why all of sudden you want a wife. And does it have be a human woman?" The king of all kings. Knew this question would come up. He had many answers to that question.

"I would not think you of all people know the answer to this question. But I figured you wouldn't ask this question."

"That not it. I just wanted to be the right answer to that question. And for one I wish you did not push in to this."

"Do not think that I would fall for this human. You are wrong. I change the humans world by bring magic to the them. The more they interact the bodies change because of it. I found this out went the brith went down. Only ten percent of the humans were having kids. This went on for twenty years. I tried to find out why. It's the magic we introduced to them. Some of the bodies can't handle magic to excessive." He signed. He finish his food. Than turn to the window.

"My lord if this is true, then the human race will come to end. Then we the demons will be left with this world."

"We do not belong here. We only came here to live. In do time we will go back to our world."

"But my lord, than why change this world. We could just on a island away from the world."

"We could, but how long would it take for me to destroy every thing. The human would turn to us and tried to kill us. The best way was to coincides with humans. But to think that magic would destroy them to extinction. It was my choice to help them. To live on. That was only one of side effect to magic. I found out there were more of them. Magic sickness was also here. Over two million humans died this year alone. Last year was more than that. In the total of thirty years 1.5 billion were sick with this disease. That cut one third of the humans. If this keep up they will extinct. Even if we leave it will continue to be this way. I can not destroy magic once it is given. I thought that given the humans magic would change their outcome on us. I kept this hidden so do not tell a soul."

"Yes My lord." Jus Luk stood there quietly. Waiting.

The outcome of selection took a whole week. Out came the result. One thousand two fifty women were selected. Each woman were notified what the next step. If they were selected by a matchmaker. That matchmaker must make sure that the selectee has the necessary documents.

Jennie didn't have time for this. Her work came first than everything after. She became a work alcoholic. No time for romances. She worked her way up. Some will say she slept her way to the top. Only to find out that was not true. In this day in age people will say anything just to get rid of the people that do the real work. Went the matchmaker show up at her job.

"My dear it is time. Come with me."
