As a demon, Lox had a unique ability to transform. He could take the form of different creatures after absorption, but being in the form of the girl Viola was unusual for him and required considerable effort.
At first he enjoyed his new shell, and it was exhilarating to feel himself in the body of a woman.
He was learning her movements, gestures and habits, trying to blend in as much as possible with Viola's image.
As time went on, however, Lox realized that inhabiting the form of a girl was beginning to drain his strength.
The demonic body was too powerful and relentlessly demanded energy.
Therefore, Lox had to periodically return to his usual appearance - the image of a cat. He could control his transformations, but still being in the form of a girl required more effort and concentration.
Besides, Viola's image evoked memories and feelings that were not yet Lox's own.
Sometimes he felt a longing for Viola's innocent and kind soul, which was not inherent in demonic passions and aspirations for power.
Back in the guise of a cat, Lox felt more comfortable and resilient. This form gave him flexibility and agility, allowing him to move quickly in the forest.
In addition, in the guise of a cat, he could easily slip away from prying eyes and prevent unnecessary questions.
"Damn, I could be killed in this form." - thought Lox.
Lox continued to wander the northern forest, exploring its mysteries and learning new things.
He didn't need to return to the city or socialize with humans because he found his freedom and meaning in being alone amongst nature and the magical mysteries of the forest.
His new shell in the form of a cat allowed him to easily reach deep into the forest and explore its territories. Every day, Lox found interesting materials and resources that could be useful for his future adventures.
He saw strange tablets in front of his eyes with the names and descriptions of various plants, berries, materials, and even monsters that lived in the forest written on them.
He read about what plants could be used to create healing potions or powerful elixirs.
He learned about the magical properties of berries and flowers that could be used in spells and alchemical experiments.
He also studied the names of monsters and their characteristics, realizing who he would have to face in the future.
The forest was full of dangerous creatures, and knowing about their habits and weaknesses could save his life in future skirmishes.
The red berry with white lines, also known as the dragon berry, was a beautiful and dangerous plant with a powerful poison.
This berry grew in a wild and dangerous area of the northern forest, and its rarity and lethality made it very valuable on the market.
Outwardly, the dragon berry looked like a small red fruit with white lines that intertwined across its surface.
This created a beautiful and strange pattern that attracted attention and beckoned people, but few knew of its dangers.

The Dry Demon Tree was one of the rarest and most valuable resources in the world of magic.
This mighty tree grew only in the darkest and darkest corners of the northern forest, where demons and powerful magical creatures dwelled.
Its bark was black, as if drenched in darkness, and its branches reached for the sky, as if reaching out to the distant stars.
The tree was known for its special magical properties, which made it an ideal material for making magic wands or brooms.
Witches and mages valued the dry demon tree for its unique properties and potential to enhance magical abilities.
Gathering the tree was extremely dangerous and time-consuming, as to get to it, you had to overcome dangerous traps and fight with spiders defending their territories.
Only skilled and brave mages ventured into this rare resource.

While training in the forest, Lox felt very hungry.
As he looked around, he noticed a fast rabbit hopping between the trees.
Grinning, Lox decided to test his new skills learned in Viola's body. He decided to try and catch the rabbit with his bare hands.
Concentrating, he smoothly and silently approached the rabbit and then grabbed it lightning fast.
The rabbit tried hopelessly to get out of his hands, but Lox was quick and agile.
Soon he managed to grasp the rabbit's skin and quickly and accurately removed it. The rabbit's hide turned out to be surprisingly thin and soft.
After Lox released the hide, he suddenly saw it begin to slowly disappear. At first he was surprised, but then he remembered his new ability, demonic absorption.
It turns out that not only could he absorb souls, but he could also create small spatial storage boxes.
He decided to try and use this ability to save the rabbit's hide. Concentrating, Lox placed the pelt into his inner space.
The pelt disappeared in front of his eyes, and he felt it become a part of his demonic being.
"Demonic absorption, how convenient," thought Lox. He realized that he could now use this ability to store various things and items that might come in handy in the future.
Lox continued to explore his abilities and skills that he had gained in Viola's body. He was surprised to learn about the ability to hide his aura.
This new skill gave him the ability to become almost invisible to others.
In the image of the girl, his aura would literally disappear, allowing him to move unnoticed and avoid conflict.
However, Lox noticed that some monsters with more advanced sensitivity could still sense his presence from a distance.
This meant that even when using the Aura Hiding skill, he had to be careful, especially when surrounded by strong and dangerous creatures.
"This skill is certainly useful, but it's not very reliable," Lox thought to himself. He realized that he needed to train and develop his demonic abilities even more to fully conceal his presence.
Lox also found it difficult to hunt, so he used the rib of a hare and one stone to create a bone dagger.
Lox tried to focus on the bone dagger he had created, but a strange tableau was still flickering in front of him.
He felt discomfort and irritation from this intrusive information that invariably appeared in front of his eyes.
Trying to get rid of this intrusive table, Lox tried to cover his eyes and distract himself from it, but this strange form of information still kept slipping in front of his gaze. It was unclear to him where it was coming from and why he needed it.
- Damn it! Why won't it go away? - Lox muttered, trying to concentrate on his thoughts and ignore the intrusive tableau.
He'd never encountered something like this before, and it was a little disconcerting.
Finally, Lox tried to accept the tableau and decided that it was probably part of his new abilities.
He scrutinized the information that flashed before his eyes and realized that it was a table with the characteristics of his bone dagger.
- Oh, I see now," Lox whispered, realizing that this table could be useful to him.
He decided not to fight it, but to learn how to use it to his advantage. It was another step in his development as a demon and a mage.

"Holy shit! Why did I have to put myself in a human body, is it just me?" - Lox thought irritably.
