I know that it's dangerous, but I've been on Earth since dawn.
I wanted to see if it was truly impossible for us demons to live here with humans, under cover.
Being the oldest and the most analytical of my team, I take pride in my work.
For the most part, it doesn't seem to be all that impossible. There are places that are dark and cloudy all the time, so we could find humans to kill much more efficiently.
But, we'd have to blend in entirely. One little slip up, and people will know. Then, those troublesome Demon Slayers will come after us.
I wonder what it's like to be human. They say that all demons used to be humans, before they're turned. But it's partially different for me and my friends.
Being the Seven Demon Princes of Hell, we were born from the Seven Deadly Sins. Each of us committed one of the sins when we were still human, which ultimately killed us, and turned us into demons of those sins.
My sin is Pride, the sin from which all of the others were born from. This means that my friends have to protect me, no matter what. If I die, then they all die along with me, ceasing our existence, and our sins won't exist anymore for us to reform.
My friends' sins are Sloth, Envy, Lust, Greed, Gluttony, and Wrath.
We're seven of the nine most important demons in the Shadow Realm, meaning we have to set an example to lower class demons.
But still... I really wonder what being human is like. Living off of beverages and different cuisines, instead of human blood and flesh.
Is that so wonderful? I can't remember...
"Hey Minhyung. Where are you?"
Shit.
Wrath is telepathically speaking with me, wondering where I am.
I teleported back to the Shadow Realm, within the city of our kingdom: Franta.
"I'm in town, checking up on things"
"Come to the meeting room. We're having an important discussion"
"Yes sir"
I sighed, walking back to the biggest temple in our kingdom.
The moon always shines over it, so if anyone wishes to speak with us, they know where to go.
Wrath may be younger than me, but I still have to address him as sir. He's our leader because he's the strongest, and the scariest, out of the sins. No one would dare to cross him.
Still, I wonder what he wants. We barely have meetings.
"Faster Minhyung"
He growled once more.
