In Another World As a Demon

"Shitty hangover …" Xavier painfully groaned while clasping his wildly aching head. He would always tell himself not to drink too much beforehand. But, every time he took a sip once, he always lose himself and would only know he drank too much the next day while experiencing a heavy hangover.

Fortunately, he was prepared for such situations. He had already bought several hungover relieving pills for himself a few days ago.

After gently massaging the sides of his forehead, Xavier slowly opened his eyes.

However, what greeted him was an unfamiliar wooden ceiling.

Alarmed, Xavier hurriedly sat upright on the bed and quickly surveyed his surroundings.

He found himself in a small room, with only simple furniture like a table on the side. His drawer filled with luxurious clothes was gone, so were his laptop, expensive clock, and so on!

What's worse, the small room was only being lit by a candle which was placed on the wooden table!

Xavier had experienced a fair share of cruel things himself. His mother left his father and him when he was 3 years old.

He vividly remembered that his mother told him she was going to the 7-12 convenient store to buy chocolate milk, but she never returned after that.

Feeling betrayed, his father who was in a lot of pain, indulged himself in alcohol, temporarily forgetting his pain.

Luckily, his father was a rather gentle and responsible man. After burying himself in alcohol for a week, he realized that he couldn't let the situation turn worse than it already was.

Having no helpful relatives, the father was basically on his own.

Hence, he worked several part-time jobs just to have barely enough money to buy necessities, pay the bills, and more.

When he was outside, he was tirelessly working, and he was at home, he was busy doing chores and playing with his son, trying to fulfill both motherly and fatherly love to his son.

Consequently, he died of excessive exhaustion when Xavier turned 18. His father was a smart man, he seemed to already know his imminent demise and bought some insurance for himself.

And when he ultimately departed, Xavier received an ample amount of money. He smartly used all the money to push himself into success.

Eventually, after many years of hard work, he graduated from a prestigious college as one of the top graduates!

He believed this his father was watching him from the afterlife and was quite proud of his son.

"Was this Julie's doing?" Xavier scratched his head, annoyed. He reckoned that his sex friend was the one who drove him home after partying all night at a bar. From what he knew, Julie herself was quite a joker. She would pull stupid pranks on him sporadically.

However, those pranks were rather simple such as abruptly inserting blocks of ice inside his clothes, placing a toy snake in his room, and so on.

"She changed my clothes as well…" Grumbled Xavier as he looked at his clothes.

"This is…kimono?" Seeing his clothes were now replaced with a blue-colored kimono, Xavier was more certain that Julie was the one playing the tricks on him.

After all, what if the situation was much different from what he previously imagined? What if someone broke into his house and kidnapped him while he was dead asleep?

Xavier was both irritated but more relieved.

"No, this is not good. I need to lecture that girl before she takes her pranks too far…" Xavier swore before taking off the soft white quilt and leaving the bed.

He then tidied up his kimono, straightening the crumpled parts, before walking towards the sliding door of the room.

Now that his mind became much clearer, Xavier discovered that his room was akin to a Japanese room except for the western bed, which was the bed he had lain on earlier.

However, before he even got near the sliding door, it was abruptly opened by a person outside.

Xavier then saw a beautiful woman donned in black yukata.

The woman was one of the most beautiful females Xavier had ever seen. Normally, Xavier would do triple acrobatic jumps towards her and ask for her number directly. But, for some reason, Xavier felt something dark and bleak coming off the woman.

It felt like a cruel, bloodthirsty monster was hiding beneath the flawless white skin.

What's worse, the woman had scarlet pupils!

Needless to say, Xavier was spooked.

The 2 looked into each other's eyes for a moment. Seeing that the other party had no intentions to break off the awkward yet dangerous atmosphere, Xavier picked up his courage and opened his mouth.

"Hell-"

Swoosh!

Before even Xavier could finish his first word, a bloodied tentacle with a sharp tip sprouted out of the woman's back.

Xavier was scared shitless by the sight.

'A ghoul! A freaking ghoul! Why would there be a Tokyo Ghoul's ghoul here?'

In his panicked state, Xavier opened his mouth widely, intending to yell for help, but never did he think that the woman would take this chance to shoot the tentacle right into his mouth!

"Cogk!" Chocking sounds came from Xavier's mouth, as he felt the tentacle slowly going down his throat, blocking the passage of his lungs, causing him unable to breathe.

Thud!

Xavier's knees gave in as he fell onto the ground on his knees. Tears were pouring out of his eyes.

'Pain! So painful!' Xavier inwardly screamed. He then used his hands to grab the tentacle. He was about to use all of his remaining strength to pull out the tentacle when sharp spikes abruptly sprouted out from the part of the tentacle he was grabbing on and pierced through his hands!

Currently, Xavier was feeling so much pain that he wished to die immediately to end it.

Psss!

From the corners of his mouth, warm blood started to seep out and fall on the wooden floor.

After a few moments, there was now a puddle of blood on the wooden floor.

Then, Xavier suddenly felt the tentacle use its sharp tip and stabbed straight to his heart!

Sharp pain! The pain he was in intensified further!

Unable to endure it, his mind gave in. Xavier's pupils constricted before rolling to the back of his head.

Thud.

His unconscious body then falls on the puddle of blood, splattering it all around.

After supplying her blood into the man's body, the woman retracted her tentacle. She then stared at the man's unconscious body, then saw it start convulsing.

The man's brown skin then started to turn pale white, and his black hair was turning purple. Overall, the man's appearance was undergoing a sudden change.

"That should do it." The woman's cold voice reverberated in the silent surroundings. With a last glance at the convulsing body, the woman turned around and left.
