It was a normal morning, other people were started their morning activities and so do i, i was in the library,reading while surrounded by books. Normally, there would be someone sitting beside me, teaching while reading a book herself but today i was alone. Yes, Alice, who was always in the library from morning to evening, was not in the library today. For the past two weeks, i always saw Alice in the library, so Alice wasn't in the library was a rare occurence, for me atleast. But when i thought about it, Alice was the third princess of Laturey there must be something she had to do, she couldn't possibly be at the library at all time. in the end, the setting " Alice will always be in the library " was something i selfishly created and admitted. Reaching an end of my thought, my focus returned back to the books infront of me.

Browsing pages after pages, books after books, my research yielded to nothing. I was searching for the where about of the scythe of the previous demon lord, Noir, but All the books i had read so far only contained exaggerated information of the scythe power, being able to cleaved a mountain or killed thousands with one stroke. I didn't need some nonsense information, gave me some information of the scythe location, damn it !.

the reason why i searched the demon lord's scythe was simple, to battle the hero paty. In this world, my position is the same as the Twisted beasts, something that shouldn't existed. just like the Twisted beast, if anyone ever found out my job as tentacle, i would be hunted and killed in the same manner as the Twisted beast. You could said that i'm scared, but rather than be prideful dead-man i would rather be coward and cautious but alive, with my job and skill with scythe i'm sure that i could handled most of the people aiming for my life but, i know that there would be someone far stronger than me. And the most threatening enemy i could thought of right now was, the hero party, except Saya.

If it were them, they would tried to killed me as soon as they knew what my real job was, well, killing me, a human, maybe impossible for them and Saya would probably stopped them but even if they could only caught me, that would spelled my doom, Naoki and the others maybe wouldn't be able to killed me but the kingdom would sure to killed me, to hide the fact they summoned a monster. So in order to survive, i need to eliminated all possible cases that would lead to my death even the smallest one, to do that i need power.

The problem now was Naoki, he was the summoned hero and it was a given he would had some kind of cheat, as the hero and all, plus he would definitely had the holy sword and the best equipment. the same could be said to Reki, Shina and Saya, after all they were the hero party with the whole Laturey kingdom backing them up. A hero with cheat and holy sword, a martial artist and a mage with cheat of their own versus the scythe wielding Tentacle monster, the end of such battle was obvious, to even the oods i needed a strong weapon, a weapon that could rivalled the hero's holy sword, with a weapon like that and my Tentacle, i could dealt with the hero party in even ground. And fortunately for me, there was such a weapon, the jet black scythe clad in red aura, the weapon of the previous demon lord, Noir, the real Death Scythe called..............Dryst.

But The only thing i found was the location of the demon lord's castle and another exagerated story of his power and the legend about his fight with the previous hero party. with my search lead to a dead end the only option left to me was to searched the demon lord's castle for clue, distance wise it would take a year for me to reached the demon lord's castle but with the castle located in the uncharted region, going there without preparation would be suicide, i needed more power and that where my [absorption] power came in, although i still didn't know what power was this, it should proof to be useful, being one of my cheat and all. So, the time to experiment with my [absorption] skill and my skill with the scythe in combat had come. I couldn't wait to head to my first battle, but haste make waste, first, i had things to take care of.
