Day 3 Week 2
I clenched the handle of my katana and slowly unsheathes it, my taunt muscles contracting in preparation...
"1st form!"
Swooosh!
I then put the katana back on it's sheath and plop, an ugly large head of an unknown creature fell off

"Now It's easier to kill them, damn just remembering my first encounter with them... argh I almost died, thank the heavens I got this skill called Limit Break"
[Limit Break 1/10]

December 14
A disgusting and and nauseous smell was wafting on the air, on the hard and concrete floor was a kid who only has a rag clothes and skin and bones was only left on him but you can see a clear and willful eyes behind it
A while later there's a girl whose face was bright and can also be called pretty despite the dirt on her face and unkempt hair
"Zen! Look what I found, see? It's a fried chicken I saw on the trash bin over there, and it has only been thrown recently. Quick let's eat it now"
"You know Zen if I ever saved enough money I'll go to plenty of places, just like on the mall and buy beautiful clothes and of course you're coming wih me, I'll also buy you cute clothes just for you, hehehe you see I recently saved enough money for us to get out of here, that's why just wait ok? I'll promise we'll live happily after I finished my business hehehe"
Back then I also believed it, afterall I was just a kid but I didn't know the extent of cruelty of those adults
"Please stop! Please! That's my money, please don't take it. I saved that money for us!!!" The girl pleadingly cried to the man and kept begging
But the man just smiled cruelly and said "shut up! You've got no right to beg you whore! He, wow looks like you really saved enough money huh"
I couldn't do anything at all, I was there standing in place, frozen. I want to help but my body can't move because of fear, I can only grit my teeth from the savagery and their unforgiving act
"Z-zen... come I've f-found something to eat *cough cough* ah this one? Don't worry about it, it's just a slight fever nothing more, ah this time don't worry about it I've properly hid the money this time so just wait ok? What's with that painful face you're making?"
She put her thin and frail hands on my face "I love you Zen, we'll be together no matter happens" she then smiled and gone to "work"
Alas the gods really didn't favor us...
"Zen... why?" She asked "why is this? Why are the gods this cruel?" Her weak voice keeps resonating and her eyes has lost it's brilliance
"Hehe, Zen don't cry please? Your handsome face will get ugly you know"
Even when she's on her last moments she only thought about me, why?! Why?!!!?! Are you this cruel? Why is she a very honest and kind girl received this kind of fate?!
She held my hands "Zen, live a happy life ok? Always be positive ok? And if you get yourself a girlfriend treat her like how you treat me ok? And also Zen, can you travel, buy beautiful clothes, go to school for me?"
Tears kept pouring out of my eyes, I nodded
She smiled gently, her life slowly dwindling away and finally she closed her eyes
"Uwaahhhhhh!!!!! Elizabeth!!!!" I cried and cried and cried and cried and cired until no tears was coming out

I woked up by stinging pain on my stomach "oy! Wake up you brat, where's Elizabeth? Ah I see that whore finally died huh, well atleast she got useful till the end. Huh?! Why are you looking at me like that? You fucker!"
Bam!
A punch was sent directly onto my face, I couldn't dodge it because of being weak and having no will to dodge it at all
"Ptu! Such a brat looking at me like that, you're just like that whore"
Snap! I didn't know what it was but something just snapped within me, holding the hidden rusty dugger on my hand
My body suddenly thrust forward cathing off guard the man, no he is not a man, he's a demon on a humans clothing
"Guh! W-what are you doing?!" He stammered, he tried to remove me but he looked surprised as my weak body kept clinging onto him. I don't know how I suddenly got that strength but I kept plunging my dagger on his eyes, nose, mouth, chest, hands, ears and even his testicles
"P-please s-stop, please. I-I'll give you the money back okay?" He pleaded but I just kept stabbing the places that won't immediately kill him
I kept stabbing and stabbing and stabbing and stabbing amd stabbing and stabbing until I felt no more resistance
Blood was everywhere, flowing out of his body, even I myself was full of it, as If I was washed with it
"Elisabeth, I finally avenged you, this demon has finally been killed now you can rest in peace there Elisabeth... hic hic, E-Elisabeth I really miss you now"
"Please come back, please..." And those were the last moments before I woked up on a unfamiliar ceiling
Trivia no.2: Elisabeth was Zen's first family ever since he was abandoned, there they grew an unbreakable bond
