Everything around me is black, actually I think my sense of touch is gone because I can't move or feel anything. O God, hopefully I'm not in a coma or worse, the last thing I remember was the loud honk and bright light of a car before this emptiness…

 

All of a sudden I feel myself being pulled downward like I'm falling from a skyscraper, It would normally scare me but any feeling helps. After a while of falling I see a scorching purple light up ahead as it wash over me like a wave. 

 

Soon the light fades and I can open my eyes.

I look around flustered, I'm in the center of a wide cave, stalagmites hang from the high ceiling. Around me in a circle looks like Greek letters glowing in a fading purple light.

 

That must have been the purple light I saw, but where am I, I should be in a hospital after that accident...why would I be in a strange cave. Struggling to get on my feet I feel how my body has changed, It feels like my limbs got shorter.

 

Looking underneath me in a panic, I find where my hands should be are instead paws. Turning the side I get a full view of my body coming to the conclusion I've turned into a  black fox. 

 

It's fine, everything is fine I repeat in my head to try and calm down, before I can move or reorient my mental state I hear something moving in my surroundings and my mind becomes vigilant. I peer  into the darkness ever out of reach while releasing my killing intent, the only light source in this place the fading purple runes. 

 

After a while I hear a voice snickering like a whisper in my ear.

“Looks like the young blood is fine after all with this vigor you have”

 

Torchlight starts to fill the hall, starting from behind me two torches lit at a time soon they line the cavern lighting the area.At the only entrance stands a giant raven tall as a truck.

 

“Um, is it you who’s speaking to me ?” I manage to get out my voice trembling.

 

All the ferociousness I had before seems to vanish as I take on a form of looking weak.

 

Laying on the ground and skillfully pulling my tail in front of me, I lay my head on the ground showing respect and fear. If this ‘thing’ is intelligent enough to talk it should be able to understand my intentions.

 

A few seconds pass by the beast glaring at me, seconds feel like hours on the inside. I'm having an internal battle of deciding whether to try and Kill this thing with everything I have, or keep the current response of being threatened and harmless. My mind leans towards the latter as my reason is shouting ‘how the hell would we kill this in our current state’...

 

The bird eventually opens its beak and I hear the same voice mumble to itself but I don't understand the language.

*eehhhmmm* the bird does an exaggerated fake cough

“Behold! Young one, I am the great demon of Pride. Your Savior!!!”

His shout shakes the cave as some rock fragments fall in between us

 

“Are you going to help me become human again?” I ask hesitantly

 

“No” says Pride taking on the tone of a teacher.

“I'm going to help you adapt to your new life as a demon, and explain what happened to you.”

 

Before I can get a word in pride starts his lecture.

“This world has skills and magic, unlike your old world and you are currently in the center of a magic circle designed to build man-made demon. A Chimera”

 

“A Chimera?” I echo back.

“Yes” pride nods as he continues.

 

“A Chimera is a demon that is able to mimic other species abilities, you are the second Chimera created so I don't know if there's a difference but the other has the ability to copy spells and skills it has seen.”

 

“I don't know the conditions needed to record the ability as that's a well kept secret by the being.” pride seems to sulk as he says this.

 

“The magic circle is designed to summon a human soul from the last connected to world, summoned just after someone has died”

 

So I did not go into a coma because of the car accident but died instead. My face would have lost all color by now if  I was a human.

 

Holding myself together for now I ask him a question.

“The only part I don't understand is about the magic circle. What did you mean by last world connected?”

More like that's the only part I can question about because I don't want to have a panic attack in front of a huge scary demon.

 

Pride seem to look happy like a teacher who's star pupil picked out the right question to ask

 

He happily explains “In this world of magic countries occasionally summon heroes in times of need, or if a spirit, angel, or demon is summoned, the circle will use a soul from the last plane connected to.”

 

“Its rare that a former human would be summoned, so all other attempt ended in failure” 

 

I quietly ponder taking a few seconds too digest the information

 

“Pride” I say thinking back to what he said before about being a savior

“Are you the one who summoned me?”

 

“Sadly no”

 

“Only humans can use summoning magic, if not I would have already tried my hand at summoning hero's or creating demons” I can almost see his golden eyes shining like stars as he says this.

 

Okay… lucky that's the case or more poor souls would be stuck in the same place I am.

 

“Now I want you to bring up your stats, it's something that everyone in this world has. You can do this by thinking status or menu.”

 

“Ok”

I do ahead as he says and think of the word ‘status’

 

All of a sudden a text box appears on the right side of my vision.
