Chereads / Crimson Grave / Chapter 3 - Dream

Chapter 3 - Dream

Kol looks up at the sky. The sky 2as blue like the ocean.

"Ah, it's time for work again..." Kol muttered and held his back close to him.

Kol slowly walked to his office and started typing words inside his computer.

When he checked the time, it was already 5 p.m.

"Time passes so fast huh?" Kol sighed and stood up from his spot before leaving the office.

The next day, he arrived back at his office again and began working.

This continued for a long time even Kol didn't notice.

One day, Kol looked in the mirror and saw a man with baggy eyes. It didn't feel like it was him.

"Wait, why are you?" The person from the other of the mirror stares at Kol silently.

Then it said one thing. "When are you gonna wake up?"

Kol's eyes widened and he suddenly woke up from his word dream.

He couldn't move and looked to the side. His arms and legs were tied to the wall.

"Ah, how long was I out..." Kol muttered as he heard a light footstep coming over him.

Then he saw a figure of a white robe man with white hair probably due to stress.

The man looks to be in his 40s as he looks at Kol for a long time.

Kol stayed silent and waited for the man to speak to him.

"You are a human, right? How did you escape the farm?" The man's eyes stare at Kol sharply.h The gaze looks as if it pierces through Kol's body.

Kol didn't know anything about a farm and he was scared to let any information that might make him die.

"Yes, I am a human and I won't tell you how I escaped." Kol slowly looked at the man's eyes and saw his hand slowly getting darker.

The man takes a deep breath and the dark color dissipates. "It's okay, I have someone here that can extract information out of you. I'm just saying this is your fault for not telling me."

"I'm hungry..." Kol starts getting hungry because he hasn't anything. He still remembers the system telling him that he could only eat demon meat to satisfy his hunger.

The man offered a bread into Kol's mouth and he spit it out to the ground. "I need meat, not bread."

"You ungrateful creature!" The man's arms start to darken again and slashes Kol's face with his sharp claw. Kol's face then starts to bleed but slowly regenerates itself. His cheek starts turning back to normal.

"Unbelievable... Normal humans couldn't possibly do something like this... Guess you are worth living after all. Fine, I'll give you the meat you want so badly." the man then gives Kol the meat he wanted badly.

The hunger slowly starts to get worse and Kol looks at the man. "I need meat... Demons meat specifically."

"...Fine"

After the man gives Kol demon meat, the hunger is now gone but the system tells Kol something unexpected.

[As you eat more demon meat, you will eventually turn into one]

[Eating demon meat (3/10)

Reward: Demon race]

'What... This is unbelievable, I thought the reward was for me to get stronger. Why should I turn into this disgusting creature' 

[Your body is now accustomed to eating demons. From now on, any food other than demons will poison you.]

'Fuck fuck why you didn't tell me this earlier System!' Kol thought in his mind as he tried to grab his hair but he forgot he was tied up.

As usual, Kol got 1 more stats point into his strength and he decided to put 40 evil points into his strength bringing it to full 10 strength.

He still has 60 points of evil points and he decides to keep them unchanged. He then started at the rope for a long time before something appeared again.

[Basic dark rope]

He then asks the system how much strength he would need to just break this rope.

[Basic dark rope - 20 strength needed to destroy it]

Kol looked at the man again "Could you... Tell me more about this farm. I seem to have lost my memories after I escaped" Kol lied to the man.

The Mam thought for a moment before answering Kol's question. "Since you are my specimen, for now, I'll tell you"

Kol didn't like being treated like a specimen but he nodded anyway. "We use farms to raise humans for demons to eat but we only eat the strongest humans. The human will each other until one is last standing. The one that survives will be given to a demon to eat. Also, the human that died will be given to the demon in the crowd."

Kol was disgusted by this. This made him hate demons even more but he didn't show any reaction to it. "I see... How about you untie this rope for me? I'm uncomfortable."

"Haha, do you think I'm stupid?" The man's face turns cold as he looks at Kol. His hand then turns black in front of Kol's eyes.

Kol stared at the man in silence until the man said.

"For what you want me to get rid of it?"

"You know what, I'll be your specimen and you feed me demon alright?"

Kol request to the man as the man thought about it and a chuckle escaped out of his mouth.

"yeah, alright" The man then smiled, and Kol nodded at him.

"Then how about you cut this rope for me?" The man looks at Kol for a long time and he slashes at Kol's hands.

Kol thought he was gonna get cut but when he looked back at his arm, there was no scratch. Just like that, the other rope was cut down.

"Don't be foolish trying to attack me. I'm much stronger than you and you are lucky to be my specimen rather than being at the farm." The man then turns around to get something from his lab.

The man came back with a syringe and a strange black liquid constantly moving around and trying to break out.

"Also, what is your name? I don't what I should call you" Kol said as he looked at the liquid curiously.

"Just call me Rom. Anyways give me your arm here." Kol gives his arm to the Rom and he presses the syringes against the skin of his wrist.

The needle slowly goes inside of Kol and Rom lets the liquid move into Kol's arms. The vein inside Kol's arm started getting black and Kol was in extreme pain.

"When I tried to put this thing inside of a demon, the demon quickly died but what if it was inside of a human? Much less a regeneration one." From chuckles as he watches Kol's body start getting black.

Kol was in extreme pain because his body would break down and regenerate at the same time.

"H-hungry... G-give me.." Kol struggles to speak as he feels very hungry to the point he would eat the Rom.

"Hmm you last longer than the demons before but just wait"

After a minute of struggling, returned with meat, and Kol immediately took it out of his hands before eating it.

Kol eats a bunch of demons' meat just to last against the black liquid and he already ate 10 kinds of demons because of Rom.

[Warning! Evolution will start now]

Kol starts to scream as the pain starts getting worse. The pain did not stop as two sets of horns started growing out of his head and his body started getting larger.

Kol's eyes went blank and Kol passed out with Rom standing there witshockedck expression.
