I blinked.

Suddenly I felt a weight on my chest and the ground beneath me perished. The surroundings became blurry as my knees felt weak to hold me.

So Almorach killed me...

A gasp left from my mouth as I placed my hands on my mouth. My lips quivered.

"So... Is it hell?" I asked because Callahan was with me and since he was a ruler of Hell that meant I was in Hell. And all that happened downstairs were all illusions.

He chuckled. "No, it's not."

"So... Heaven?!" I furrowed my brows.

He laughed. "You know, you are cute." And he pecked on my nose.

"Then what did you mean by I just died?" I asked with a questioning glare.

"Ah! Well..." Callahan said as he led me to the bed and pushed me to sit. I sat while he stood there and looked at me for a while as if reading my face then said, "You kinda died yesterday..."

I nodded with confusion as he placed his hands on my shoulders. He felt like he was a bit hesitant to say it and he was finding it difficult to arrange his words. He pursed his lips. "And I had to make you a demon."

I nodded and stiffened. Wait! What?!

"I-I am a demon now?" My brows were knitted on my forehead. I looked everywhere and it did seem like my senses were enhanced as I had been feeling everything a bit different since I woke up and not to mention my image in the mirror.

I looked at my hands and they turned back to normal. They had claws and my eyes were hollow exactly like Callahan. "So, I can transform now?"

He nodded.

"And I can go anywhere like you guys?"

"No. You can't."

I raised my brow. But that seemed like a cool feature in devils not to mention, I could save money.

He must have read my motive as he chuckled again. "You can't do that. Not yet, at least. You need to train as your body is not accustomed to these new things and besides, you are unstable."

I nodded. "But I can have that teleportation feature, right?"

"Yes."

I looked back at Callahan and saw he was still watching me. His shoulders were a bit tense and although he displayed a carefree attitude, I could still see through his hard outerior.

"What?" I asked a bit flustered as he was observing me. Was I looking weird?

"How are you feeling?" He asked with a concerned face.

I shrugged. "Good...I guess?"

He nodded as he sat beside me and said after taking a deep breath, "When Almorach killed you, I felt my world was gone." His eyes portrayed a gloomy expression as he held my hands and stroked on them and my stomach fluttered.

"I lost my sanity and I didn't know how to get you back. Making you a demon was the only option left." He looked at me with guilty filled eyes, "I am sorry if you didn't want that."

So this is why he was feeling a bit rigid? It made my heart filled with warmth. He was worried. He was worried about how I would feel about this.

I smiled and shook my head. "I am not offended, Callahan. I knew I had always belonged to you and I felt it somewhere but couldn't tell you."
