It all starts here

I will Become a Djinn.

It's not a hard choice considering I live cornered without any choice because of monsters wrecking countries.

I accept it all, my soul is a small price to pay when they offer me so much in return. At least with the Djinn contract I can have someone there with me throughout my day.

Waking up from what seemed to be a dream, I slowly listen to the apartment ambience, It consists of hearing low rumbles an rustles of the other tenants above.

I finally open my eyes to see my apartments ceiling, it has a small amount of water damage as repairs are not covered by the landlord, what a shame. I wish he was less stingy. Afterall I dont exactly live like a king here. Why should the rent be so high. Just because the sword saints at Cubes family once lived around here doesn't make this area any more valuable.

Low amounts of foot-traffic can attest to that, It's hard to make a tourist attraction out of a below average resident area.

With my contract all done I can feel the will of the, Devil? I believe that's what a Djinn calls them. Honestly they dont feel that way to me. Afterall they all have names and personality's, they are individuals. I can talk to them and they understand me.

(Let's go on a walk) a voice cooed

I agreed obviously

Now with what I can do as a Djinn I hardly fear what can attack me outside; Monsters, demons. none of which are my competition anymore.

I have Power.

I have a devil as my master.

I have it all.

Raising up off my mattress I head towards the door of my room. I pause and remember what I am wearing, a pair of shorts and a red t shirt.

'Right I have to change and clean myself up'

Stopping in front of the door I turn around and head towards my closet to pick out a new outfit.

(What we wear is fine for now, Lets just go, we can change later) The same voice insists

'We are just going on a walk, no need to dress up' I reason as we are not going anywhere special

I put on my shoes which look rather worn, a few years ago these were my treasure as I bought them second hand and found out they had memory foam soles. Which was a quality of life improvement for me.

They slip on easily and I start heading out of the apartment. Planning on maybe walking all the way out to...

'where do I go?' I wonder

Maybe towards the shopping center, I can window shop. What about a restaurant I can order some quick brunch. The mall has more to do, I'll go there first.

(A Museum sounds Nice, I hear some interesting individuals are is going to be there today) Masters voice suggests

Not exactly convinced about masters choice for the museum I start heading to the mall

(Chae Nayun and a special little healer will be there. Go) demands master

I turn and start walking at a leisurely pace. I shortly wonder why we head there just to meet The immortals grandkid, and if she will want to tell us about him.

Maybe I get to meet someone cool there, afterall the upper floors are full of many cool artifacts and monster hunting gear. A famous hero would be nice, Even a rich mercenary would work because they might actually want to buy one of the display pieces.

If they see me, they might actually try to scout me now that I am strong. I start becoming full of such thoughts as masters voice continues to explain what we can see at the museum. On the surface I appease him and appear hopeful of seeing the place.

Sadly to master though, I have desires outside of his orders. I want to eat some kebabs.

A street stall is not far away as I can already smell the meat coated lightly with honey garlic sauce, A delicacy that cost 6000 won for three of them. I can see the vendor is having a slow morning with his stall, I cant help but be even more excited since that means the meat must be freshest compared to the rest of the day.

Once in front of the stand I reach into my pocket to pull out my wallet

(Stop. Museum. NOW) This time he seems angry

I hurriedly abandon the Idea of eating on the way there and start jogging to the museum. Master was already upset at me stopping. I dont want him seeing me be late to meet the healer he wants.

Oh boy we can remember this right?
