(Location: ???)
"Okay get ready to have your strength enhanced." said Kennith as he handed a vile of red liquid to Kono.
"What is this?" Kono asked, cautiously.
"Don't worry, it's nothing harmful. Drink it and we can begin to enhance your stats'' Kennith assured him.
"Well, okay, then."
Kono tore the cork off the vile and gulped down the red liquid within seconds. When he finished, he tossed the vile over on the floor.
"Now, let's get started." said Kono while wearing a grin. But the grin he wore was short lived as a tremendous headache appeared.
'What..the hell.'
A thumping pain struck Kono's heart as it started to beat faster and faster. Then Adding on was an overwhelming scorching heat to his body. Kono fell against the floor, sweating, panting and groaning.
Whatever he had just drank was most definitely harmful. With a furious look in his eyes, Kono lifted his head and glared at Kennith.
"You!...What..the hell did you make me drink?!" When he finished his sentence, a gut wrenching feeling of nausea struck him. Gagging and gagging, Kono vomited out blood, painting the floor.
In seconds, his veins were pumping with blood and his muscles were twitching and cramping up.
"Sorry, I lied. That liquid was actually demon blood." said Kennith.
Demon blood was a dangerous thing to drink. Most people who drank it would experience hellish pain before dying. But depending on the person, it was possible that drinking it would permanently enhance your stats dramatically. But the odd of that happening were 1 in 1,000
"So..what? I die now.?.." Kono asked while his pain only increased.
"We'll see. But the Dark King says your body is special. He says that you meet the right requirements to withstand the demon bloods effects."
"That's a load...of crap!!!"
Kono smashed his palm within the floor, sending cracks all around and quaked the entire room. Even the walls and ceilings were splintering.
Crack! Crack! Crackle! Shake!
After four long seconds, the chaos calmed down and Kono was back on his feet. A waterfall of blood fell from his mouth as the pain slowly vanished from his body. His face was drenched in sweat and he was breathing like he had run a marathon. But Kono wasn't even mad anymore, he was just relieved that his pain had disappeared.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Kennith walked forward clapping his hands in amazement.
"Looks like you survived. I've gotta say, you've exceeded my expectations."
"Now what?" Kono asked.
"You should take some time to get used to you new self. After you've spent a couple month training your body, we'll give you some blood of a demon general. Not now, though. You wouldn't survive drinking that in your current form."
After enduring pain like he did, Kono still had adrenaline flowing through his body. It was like he could feel the difference in his stats right away. Technically, we were now part demon.
"So how do I activate my demon form?" Kono asked.
Kennith shook his head and chuckled.
"I wouldn't know. That's something you'll have to find out yourself. Why don't you go outside and find some monster to kill or something."
Kono started to try walking off but he was limping and swaying side to side, on the verge of falling over.
"Maybe you should rest first, actually." Kennith corrected himself.
