"Ok, I'm willing to hear your sob story so make it quick,"
"For millions of years, there would be a demon lord born, born to ruler over hell and its demons. I served as the demon lord for a few hundred thousand years, but the demon started to question the authority in hell so they planned to kill me and take rule. But, my most trusted friend yes, I had a friend, told me about their plans so I went here to fight a vessel or a successor. And, here we are,"
"Every novel I have read the demon lord has the same back story,"
"Yeah, well, this is real life so take it seriously. Now, something I haven't told is,"
"What you're going to tell me that since you chose me as your successor, demons from hell are going to try and kill me?"
"You know, you might be a little too smart,"
"So, basically, you brought more problems into my life when I already have enough?"
"Yes,"
"I don't like you already, but let's work together because I will die without power and I assume you would die too?"
"Your intelligence is frightening,"
"So, how do I get your powers? Do you just give em to me all at once?"
"No, if I were to do that you would die a slow and painful death. You will need to get stronger so I have designed something like a system to help you,"
"Like a game? Couldn't be better, I'm an expert at games,"
"This is not a game, there will be life-threatening challenges you will have to face. If you want to survive you have to get strong, and fast,"
"Ok, ok, So how do I use this system, exactly?"
"Just say 'Appraisal' it will show you your stats, skills, shop, and inventory,"
"Why would I need a shop?"
"To buy armor and weapons,"
"What do I buy them with? I don't have a lot of money,"
"With Dp, Dp is Demon Points, you get them from doing quests, leveling up, killing demons and other supernatural beings,"
"So you want to turn me into a killing machine?"
"If you have a problem with taking a human life, I assure you that you will only have to kill demons and supernatural beings. If you want to kill humans, I won't stop you, it's all up to you,"
"Yeah, I know that. So when will these demons and supernatural beings come after me? I've been wanting to blow off some steam lately, I will never take a human life,"
"When they sense you. They will tell you are not normal and try to take your power so if you have friends or family I advise you to not make them known to anyone your just meeting,"
"I'm not stupid, ok?"
"Cocky bastard,"

"Yeah, I have something to tell you,"
"What it is?"
"That wolf was a werewolf. It was an alpha and from your intelligence, I assume you know what that means,"
"So, I'm a werewolf and a demon? Even better,"
"I didn't intend to turn you into a werewolf but since that werewolf was an alpha and it died and you were the only one in its pack, you are now the alpha,"
"So, you gave me a short cut? Not bad, you might not be as bad as I thought,"
Anyone who walked by would have thought Wade was insane talking to himself. After sitting there talking to his demon, he finally decided to go home, it was getting late.
On his way home, he heard footsteps behind him so he turned on a corner to see if the person was actually following him. When he turned, the person also followed behind him.
'So, is this person a demon too? Or like a supernatural being?'
"Yes, I can feel its energy. You have no choice but to fight, if you go home it will kill your family but you have a chance,"
'I don't even know how to fight, and I don't know anything about that thing. Its strength or weaknesses,'
"When you level up you will get strong enough to use my power,"

'Well, isn't that something, I get rewards for killing. This really is like a game, I wonder what happens at level 10. If I know anything about ghouls, I know how to beat this thing,'
Wade stops walking and the ghoul stops walking too. He opens a bag of chips and grabs a handful. Wasting no time, Wade kicks off his back foot and charges at the ghoul. Not expecting Wade to attack, he was surprised and wasn't able to invade or block his attack.
Wade uses his knowledge of fighting games and kicks the ghoul in its chest, making him fall to the ground. Wade puts his handful of chips in his mouth and down his throat. Ghouls weaken when they eat normal food so it won't take a lot to kill him.
With the ghoul trying to force the food up, Wade started punching the ghoul in the face repeatedly. While the ghoul was trying to force the food up, he didn't pay attention to who was on top of him, crushing his skull.
There was a sharp pain in his hand as he was getting closer and closer to smashing its skull. It was either the ghoul dies of suffocation from the food in his throat, his skull smashed, or he swallows the food and fights for his life.
The ghoul not wanting to lose to some weak human swallows the food and its body weaken and his strength decreases. It pushes Wade off of it and into a wall, creating a small crater on impact.
[You have taken 12 damage]
"Gaaah" Wade let out a pained groan as he fell to the ground. Wade recovered quickly and went to punch the ghoul and end the fight before things get out of hand.
The ghoul stopped moving and focused on his hearing to find Wade. Walking quietly and cautiously he approached the ghoul trying to be as quiet as possible. Accidently, Wade kicked a rock and alerted the ghoul. The ghoul sends its kagune towards the sound. Wade barely dodges because the ghoul was reacting fast so Wade decides to watch his steps the next time.
Not making a sound, Wade gets close enough to deliver a blow to the ghoul. Wade made a loud noise to where he was but he moved to the other side to trick it. When the ghoul sent his kagune toward the sound, Wade throws a punch whole his whole body, completely crushing its skull, killing it.

"I guess Dp is needed more than I thought,"
"So, are you going to tell your friend, Max?"
"Yeah, if something finds out about him then I don't want him to go in blind in battle,"
"Will you turn him into a werewolf?"
"I won't turn him unless he wants to, I should head home it's getting late. If I get home any later my father will yell at me, but I don't care,"
When Wade gets home, he is welcomed with a slap on the face. It didn't hurt him he was just a little surprised.
"If you can not respect me and my home, you will no longer live here. Did you get that? I want you out of my house, NOW,"
Wade's dad was furious, he couldn't tell if he was worried that he had been out for so long or he was looking for an excuse to kick him out. Either way, it would be a win situation for Wade. Since his job and school were closer to his mom's house, and he was going to live with his mom, the person he hadn't seen in years. This put a smile on Wade's face.
This shocked his dad because he had never seen Wade smile in years, ever since he divorced their mom. He was thinking that he was waiting for him to kick him out so he could spend time with his mom. What he didn't know was that he was making a big mistake kicking him out and disowning him.
Wade packed the clothes he hand in two suitcases, he let behind his gaming system because he had more important things to do now. He called his mom to pick him up and in 30 minutes she was there with open arms.
She didn't speak to his father because of obvious reasons but she tried to talk to his brother who only scoffed at her. She took this heart and made the decision that she would no longer chase after her first son. Now, she had her son back who loved her more than anything.
She didn't notice when she accidentally touched his side, he winced in pain but it was quiet so no one could hear it. Only being there for a few minutes, they left and went back to his mom's house. It was a long drive because his mom wanted to get every second she could with her son.
When they arrive at her house, it was a two-story house, and Wade took the room upstairs. When he finished unpacking, his mom asked him to come to her room.
"Take your shirt off," His mom said going into the bathroom and going into its closet.
"What for?" Wade asked confused watching what she was doing.
"You think I didn't notice the blood from your shirt? I need to clean it before it gets infected," His mom said grabbing some alcohol and bandage wraps.
His mom's name was Alice. She had brown hair, she had tanned skin and brown eyes. She was in her thirties so her figure was so bad. She could still pull a date.
"Now, are you going to tell me how you got this?" Alice said as she finished covering the wound.
'Should I tell her or should I lie?'
What should he do?
