"Ugh.." Mammon rubbed his foggy head. He saw red, black, bright yellow, and cyan swimming before him like very coloured water on a paper. He noticed he was lying on the ground, on his back.. and completely outstretched.

'... I didn't fall asleep like this..?'

Blinking and tensing his facial muscles, he then tried to get up. He had a stomach ache. Did he go drinking last night after going gambling as usually?

Mammon's POV

My head drummed and I groaned, 'Did I go overboard yesterday? Or maybe it was Lucifer's punishment. He did catch me sneaking in after bedtime. Ugh! Who puts bedtimes over demons!? Or beings older than 20.000 years!!'.

I almost didn't pick up the noises around me.
"Ros.. Did you..succeed?"
"Seems like..summon..powerful?"
"Your skills-!..will suffice."
"-le-nim, he's awake."

I was now able to see.

..I wasn't at home. This didn't seem like the Devildom either. Though it looked fancy like Dia's castle, there was not much miasma. Was this the human world?

'What are they wearing?'

There were three people. Two guys and one woman. The woman seemed like a witch, she had curly wine red hair. There was also a commendable amount of mana chipping from her. But..
'The man with black hair holding a sword has a similarly dangerous but different type of aura.. Didn't think I'd see a sword master here.'

From watching the two, I almost forgot about the last person. He was as tall as the swordmaster, and had a darker shade of red hair like the witch. He was coming to me, watching me in a manner I was not sure to express with words. It was foreign.

I stood up, "Where am I-?!".

BZZZZ!!

I winced, 'a shock?'. I looked down. It was a magic circle. The type to call forth foreign beings. Typically servants or other dimensional familiars. It can also serve to summon demons with the right measures.

Why in the power of Lucifer's coffee was I in one so early in the morning?
'I usually get summoned in the middle of the day or into the late night. Never the morning!'

I saw shoes at the outer rim of the circle, I looked up seeing the man. The other two came over too. They all seemed to be in their 20s. Though, the swordmaster felt older somehow.

Unlike Mr Redhead the two gave me evaluating looks.

"Not that I doubt you Rosalyn but he seems a bit too human for me. Is he really a demon?"

"I'm sure he is, he must be hiding his demonic appearance from us Choi Han. Wait a bit, I'll tell him to show his true appearance. Young Master Cale could you step back for a bit?"

The Redhead looked at her and then went a bit away from me while keeping watch.

'So their names are Cale, Rosalyn, and Choi Han... Odd name for the 21st century, except for Choi Han, that's sounds like a Korean name.'

<"Demon I've called forth, reveal thy true form to your master!">

There was red magic coming around me from the circle, ticking at me from here and there. It was like kids poking at their parents to get attention or simply a reaction.

"Huh? Why's nothing happening?"

I tilted my head, stepping into the circles middle to not get another shocker. " 'scuse me lady but why should I do that?"

"!" The swordsman drew their sword. I focused in on them. Although fighting a swordmaster is not something I do everyday, I do believe I can hold my own against them thanks to the training I received throughout my life. And I would win.
