부패

As the Black Dragon revealed its presence to me. My body went numb and I fell on my knees...

'Wake up Child... You have no time to waste... Purity will soon meet its Corruption.'

My senses returned but I still couldn't move my body. After spending a few minutes trying to get out of this paralysis, I was finally able to move. But suddenly,  My chest got tighter and tighter and my heart began beating faster and faster, Then I heard a voice in my mind saying; 

'My body... Give it back... It belongs to me... And me only...'

After that everything returned to normal. I went outside to collect myself and sort what was going through my mind.  As I was walking someone patted my back. I turned around and saw a beautiful girl. I was so surprised that words refused to come out of my mouth.

Akira: H-Hi do i know you?

Girl: Huh? What do you mean? We see each other everyday. It's me Ciel

Akira: Ciel?!!! You're a girl??!

Ciel: That was rude but yes how can you not know that? 

Akira: Don't blame me. You're the one who wears a hat and uses a suit all the time; plus you're the only girl there that manages the Hunter Association.

Ciel: Well... Good point. So where are you going? You seem tired.

Akira: Oh... I just have a lot of stuff on my mind right now.

Ciel: Like what?

Akira: Well...

As I began explaining my chest got tighter again and my heart began beating faster than it did the first time and I fell to my knees.

'My... Body... Give... It... Back...'

My mind turned pitch black as I slowly fell into the void. After a while, I woke up at a random place. I saw Ciel so i quickly asked her,

Akira: What... Happened?? Where am I?

Ciel: I'm sorry you fainted in the middle of our d-date and brought you back into my house.

Akira: Date? What?? I asked you out on a date?! Oh god, this is really awkward. 

Ciel(In her mind): Yes he believed it.

Akira( in his mind): Shit my mind is totally blank I don't know what happened...

Ciel: We were about to kiss when you suddenly fainted.

She let out a smirk as I got flustered, began stuttering and spewing random words out of my mouth. 

Akira: K-K-Kiss y-y-you?!!!

Ciel: Yep~

I covered my face and a notification from the system pop up

'Hello, Mr. Akira. The Chairman Of Hunters Association Wants To See You'

Akira: So uh Ciel why does the chairman want to see a nobody like me?

Ciel: They wanted to ask you about how you Cleared an A-Rank Portal on your own

Akira: I don't think I can tell them... It's kinda private for now, I can tell you so you can tell them and change some of the information so it would cover up who I really am?

Ciel: Of course sir I'll gladly do it for you.

I told her the whole story about what happened Inside the Portal and how I got inside of it. She was speechless and surprised.

Ciel: This is crazy! I didn't know you were so powerful, I'm sorry for treating you like a normal person.

Akira: Normal person? I am a normal person, treat me like a normal person not a demon king or something.

Ciel: You are an Archdemon what do you want me to do about it? You're basically a Demon Lord at this point.

Akira: I swear... just do something about the chairman and I'll do anything you want. I don't wanna get involved with that remember? i want to keep my anonymity.

Ciel: Anything?~ 

Akira: Yes anything just deal with them for me

She let out a big smirk and I knew this is was a bad idea. Then a private system message came to me that said

'Meet me behind the Huge building 63 miles east away from where you are there's an S-Ranked portal that needs to be cleared we're gonna split the drops 50/50 if you come inside with us and split it 80/20 if you solo 80 is yours'

I thought about it for a while and it didn't seem to be a bad trade. I momentarily pushed back the questions about their identity since knowing wouldnt changed the situation for the better or worse. If push came to shove, I would just use my abilities to fight or escape the situation. I rushed there as swiftly as I could after saying goodbye to Ciel. I arrived there and saw this huge Orange portal. It was bigger than the A-ranked portal I faced but I wondered how did the Hunter Association did not alert anyone about this instead this anonymous party knew.

I saw a group of men in black sitting in 2 groups of 3. I walked up to them and tried to see if I recognized anyone. I didn't so I told them I was going solo and they agreed. I entered the portal.
