「 The King 」

I suddenly fall down backward and land on my back very roughly.

Well, I was definitely not prepared to be thrown around like this.

I thought, getting up.

I was now outside the Royal Capital, my 4 year old self was chasing down Sonju before he left.

Younger me finally caught up to him, I tugged on his pant leg to get his attention.

"Oji Sonju," I call.

"Yes?"

"Can you please take me away from here? Everybody acts like I don't exist, and my mama is really mean to me!"

He ponders.

"I don't know, Y/n..."

"Please??" I ask. "You're the only one who pays attention to me!! And I haven't been able to eat in days!" I beg.

I remember that feeling all too well, it made my heart sink.

I was ignored and even sometimes malnourished due to my mom's insane hunger, I couldn't buy any humans for myself at the time because if I took any riches from the fortress, my mom would get mad at me.

Sonju sighs. "When was the last time you ate?" he asks.

"Three days ago." I answer.

"Alright, come with me." he gives in, I cheer and follow him.

Something yanks me through a now visible open door that leads to the void. Once I enter through it I see the moment I met Mujika.

I drank some of her blood and I was given a roast pig to eat.

That's the moment that I could start surviving without eating human meat.

I'm so glad I could stop eating humans, the meat was disgusting. I don't even know how demons find it tasteful.

Yeah, they need it to survive. But most demons I've met also liked what they were eating.

Vile.

I gag thinking about it as the memory continues. Sonju had found a very expensive looking necklace in the Royal Capital on the ground before he left and took me with him, so now was when he decided to give it to me.

"Thank you, Oji!" I said happily, putting on the necklace.

I touch the necklace I'm wearing.

It's the same lucky necklace.

I thought.

I'm brought to a series of more memories. Leading past when I was taken from Mujika and Sonju.

Oh no...

I had to brace myself for the bad memories to come as I saw the scientists strapping me down to a table for one of the first times.

Just control your emotions.

If you do, it won't be so bad.

I take a deep breath in as the scientists fill up a needle with blood from different animals they found like an insect called the orange dartwing.

They stick it in my veins and I scream.

I fall back a little when I feel the actual sharp pain in my wrist.

What?

No!

This isn't supposed to be happening!
