Chereads / Demon Lord's Fable - Mythos Alpha / Chapter 2 - A White Horse

Chapter 2 - A White Horse

[Welcome to the Realm Of Zaias]

"...the hell?" A black holographic screen with golden borders and text appeared like a pop-up notification from nothing. 

The system welcomes the future Demon King. Any further assistance required can be requested by saying keyword "System."

"...expected of a typical isekai?" As the system screen appeared out of nowhere and put me in the moment, I just spilled out what I was thinking in my mind. But really, I was very interested in this system. If it were like the other "systems," I know this is broken.

"System?"

"Yep, this is overpowered. It seems like the perks I chose were given to me. It looks like they're called perks, huh? And what the heck is with that title?!?! You dare call me a wannabe!?!" I was pretty angry over the fact that even the system called me a wannabe. Like I even asked for it in the first place! Go ask that dumb almighty being or something, stupid system.

'Rustle.. rustle..'

"Huh? The heck's there?" 

The movement and slight rustle of a small berry bush thicket caught my eye. I noticed that whatever was in there was a living thing, and I could see it moving through the thicket. It had a splendid type of white skin, probably an animal, a long silvery tail, a mammal then. Suddenly, I could hear it charging, probably in the direction where I'm positioned.

"Agh!" I jumped out of there, luckily dodging the mysterious silver thing's charge. Once I stood up, I got a clear look at it. It was a white horse, a unicorn, I must say. A horn that seemed carefully carved was protruding out from it's forehead. I was mesmerized, to say the least, considering this was the first time I had seen one.

"Woah.. that horse is beautiful and strong!"

Recalling that I had a skill related to spears, I focused on a long branch that looked like a makeshift wooden spear. Considering my skills and current condition, I ran to the spear and grasped it with both arms. It's mediocrity is sufficient in this case. The white unicorn positioned its head for the angle of attack and rubbed its hooves against the ground as it got ready to charge once more. 

The unicorn rushed at me as I sled down it; I could see its pale belly. The spear pierced its abdomen as I thrust my hand. I felt as though I struck a vital part of its body because the unicorn fell directly on me.

"Hahh... first blood in this pitiful world."

I felt a sudden desperate urge to eat—no, to devour something, anything. It felt terrifying. I tried to reason why I was feeling this, trying to remember any information that was correlating to this urge. Finally, I remembered my [Devour & Plunder] skill. That must be it.

I jumped at the unicorn carcass, grasping its sides with my hands, and took a huge bite of its exterior flesh.

"...delicious—no, this is mouthwatering!!" 

I yelled that too very loudly. I wasn't sure if I was a human in heart and mind anymore. It felt good to eat this equine corpse.
