Xeos continued to fly around on top of his new pet he named Iris. Alice told him that she was a rare type of wyvern and that her kind was almost extinct. It's been an month since they healed from their wounds and now they are looking for some easier demons that Xeos can fight so that he can get more experience so that he doesn't keep dying. Not only does it hurt like a bitch but it also takes a month to wake up.
He tries to experience everything he can and learn from it. So yes, while he hates dying and doesn't want to go through it. He still forces himself into dangerous situations to learn from it and experience it to gain knowledge. He purposely died a total amount of 65 times already and he has already started to go slightly numb to it. Not completely but partially and he figures a few more gruesome deaths and he'll be completely immune to it.
He also noticed thanks to Alice that the more he gets use to death, the shorter the time it takes to wake up again. For example before it took a month now since he died a couple more times, it only takes 2 weeks now for him to wake up. Alice told him that once he becomes completely immune to the feeling of death that it'll only take a day to wake up.
Xeos continue thinking deeply about his situation until he heard Iris give a slight roar to get his attention. Xeos snaps out of his daze and looks at what Iris wanted him to see. He was shocked but also excited when he discovered a new demon that he hasn't come across before.
It looked like a humanoid human with 2 long horns growing out the side of its head. It's face is reminiscent of a dog but also has very sharp claws, teeth, and fangs. He basically looks like a werewolf with a few demonic features to it and was almost covered completely in blood. Xeos grew excited and jumped down onto a tree once Iris went down far enough for him to safely jump.
Without missing a beat he sprang forward with momentum and slashed his sword at the demons neck hoping for a quick kill.
The demon having sensed him easily dodged and swiped his claws at Xeos's stomach. Xeos used his right foot to pivot around the attack and was only lightly grazed. A little blood spilled but nothing to worrying. The demon pointed his hand at him and saw a strange circle appearing and suddenly he was enveloped in light.
Xeos didn't feel anything at first but then suddenly began to feel very weak and cold. He also noticed that his hunger was growing and was confused. He didn't know what happened until he saw it. The little scratch he got was pouring out a lot more blood then it should be. He saw it floating and then made a stream to the demons mouth and watched the demon drink his blood.
It finally clicked what was happening and Xeos immediately pushed off the ground and escaped the light that was surrounding him. The blood stop flowing and seal itself up. Xeos fell to his knees and knew that he couldn't afford to get hurt anymore. He started laughing a little which soon turns into a mad mans laugh and all of a sudden, Xeos appeared in front of the demon and slashed one of it's arms off.
The demon was surprised by such speed and noticed that were his prey was last that there were wore bags filled with rocks that looked like weights and being intelligent enough knew that by releasing those weights, the humans speed had improved.
Xeos didn't waste anytime and threw his sword away which drew the demons gaze towards it and was stunned and confused why this human would have done that. Though before he could continue contemplating it, his vision suddenly darkened and he fell to the ground dead.
Xeos saw that the demon was distracted which was his plan and threw his only remaining dagger which was covered in a poison he collected after learning first hand how deadly it was. The dagger soared through the air and hit the demon between it's eyes and then it fell over dead very quickly.
Xeos took a deep breathe and fell to his knees. He was beyond exhausted and was extremely famished that it felt like his stomach was becoming a black hole and was trying to absorb anything it can.
He looked at the demons corpse and couldn't help but salivate and slowly moves towards the body. He remembered Alice's warning about not eating demon meat because it was poisonous but he ignored the warning anyways since his hunger was so great that his body was on autopilot and before he knew it he was chewing on the demons flesh and consuming it without hesitation.
He felt his body was in pain but he ignored it and continued to devour the whole body and then he started to eat the heart. As soon as he took the first bite an immense pain spread throughout his entire body and even his soul was being affected. This was such an immense pain but he pushed through it to finish off the heart since if he was gonna die anyways, might as well finish what he started.
As soon as Xeos finished eating the heart he collapsed and hit the ground hard and thus knocking himself out and died as well.

Some time has passed since Xeos fell asleep and his body was going under a new transformation. His muscles bulged out, his bones hardened and became stronger than Graphene. His veins turned silver and his blood turned black. His nails grew into claws and his canines into fangs. His hair turned red and his eyes turned gold. His body grew several inches and is now 6.5 ft. His senses became 3x stronger than before and finally he gained a passive regeneration. It wasn't godlike and it couldn't regrow limbs but anything short of losing a limb can be regenerated. If his heart gets pierced he could survive depending on how bad it is. If it gets ripped out he'll die.
Alice watched all of this happened and even she was surprised to see him turn into a half demon. She knew that there was a very small chance of it happening but didn't think it would. Also because of the immense pain from having his soul basically tortured and whatnot, he finally grew immune to pain and death. The only reason he hasn't woken up in 3 months was due to his body going under the transformation.
Alice figured that he would wake up sometime tomorrow but wasn't exactly sure when. She was busy inspecting the changes and making sure nothing detrimental was happening but luckily everything seems to be fine.
All that is left to do is wait and see how his personality might be after he wakes up and how his reaction will be to his new body and race change.
