Miss Demon Lord Please Find Me A Gf

Jisoo swallowed as she ran her gaze over the inscriptions on the worn out text one last time. She's really doing this. She flipped it over and a shiver ran through her spine at the sight of the peculiar symbol.

It wasn't anything bizarre, oddly enough but the pattern smeared in red was ominous to say the least. It made her stomach churn.

She carefully placed the dilapidated parchment at the centre of the symbol she had replicated on her basement floor (She was never good with drawings but she thinks she did a good job this time. Mostly.)

One by one, Jisoo placed rest of the materials on the sheet.

Lock of a maiden's hair. (Hers, because she's a virgin!)

A Freshly cut nail without a speck of dirt. (Hers, because she's a clean freak.)

3 Hyacinths, as white as snow.  (She got it from her friend Seulgi who runs a little flower shop infront of the uni.)

And lastly....

Jisoo swallowed. She wasn't afraid or unfamiliar with the idea of getting hurt but it still delivers a squeezy feeling to purposely perform the act, as small as the prick maybe. Jisoo felt her insides twist again.

The basement was completely devoid of sunlight. But the 21 candles she had lit as instructed, served to disperse all her fear.

Who was she kidding, she was scared shitless!!

Wtff am I doing. Nonono this is a mistake it's stupid! Kim Jisoo you are stupid!! There is no demon or fairies or elves or whatever!! Let's just stop.....

....

....

....

FXXX IT!!! (censored in her head) If its not real then what's the harm in trying it out?? Hey no losses here...

Here it goes.....

A drop of the summoner's blood...

Jisoo took the needle and hesitantly pricked her and extend her arm towards the parchment with her eyes shut tightly.

Nothing. Nothing?? Huh? Jisoo looked around finding no displacement. fxxx so it really was a.Noooo I paid that old lady 10k won for this!! fxxxxx (curses censored in her head).

Jisoo crouched down with her hand on her face, wiping it in distress. She was never one to fall for scams but last time with that lady, it just happened. Maybe because uni started and she didn't get the magical transformation she was hoping for and she was eating alone like she had the past 17 years or because she was told she would have to pack her bags come 3rd of next month, her birthday, she was turning 18.

There weren't any other children in the old community orphanage. Jisoo and Mrs Kim lived alone there for the past 4-5 years. Mrs Kim was now very old and frail, barely leaving her bed.

She loved Jisoo, even gave Jisoo her last name. But even naïve and silly little Jisoo knew the lady hadn't much time. She knows it from unresponsiveness to when Jisoo reads her books and from how she barely eats no matter how much Jisoo insists.

When Mrs Kim's son visited, he said he was taking her with him to the states and selling all property in Korea. Jisoo doesn't even know if that's legal. But she can't argue.

So yeah she wouldn't have a place to call home. Not because of shelter. She already found a student lodging. What scares her is losing the warmth of belonging somewhere, once she leaves Mrs Kim's place she would have noone.
