(You finished the quest. Every stat increased by 1.)
Killing 10 wasn't such big task. I already needed to hunt to get food. Also there were a lot of creatures trying to kill and eat me. Finishing it in 2 days didn't even took extra effort.
(New quest. Kill 15 enemies. Difficulty D)
This time it is 15. Quest reward wasn't a really big one. Considering how easy I finished it it was natural that reward also would be small. But if every quest and their rewards were like this I could quickly increase my stats. Especially my magic and charisma. I understood my magic being low but charisma? Maybe my face was that ugly? Then again everything I saw here were ugly. Then again I currently did not cared about it. My other stats could be used to survive but charisma? I did not see so much use. Maybe it would be used to get mates? Demons here only seemed to interested in killing and eating each other. Even if reproduction happened I doubt it was something romantic or relied upon charming other sex. I stopped wondering about that. It did not affected my survival. I wondered if other demons thought like me. Did they only thought about surviving or did they also wondered about other things? Since I did not have anything else I wanted to answer my question. For that I needed to find another demon. But how would I even communicate with them? Only noises I could make were growls and roars. I tried to talk. I tried to copy what Imps said to me back then.
"DaDJ jouy ruzt nor munuy?"
That did not worked like I wanted. Maybe my body wasn't built to talk? Talking, like actually talking took a complicated system of organs after all. Or maybe I just had to practice more? I looked front of me and realized that a demon was there. Should I just attack it? No, maybe I should try to communicate. I lifted my hand and waved. It looked at me and growled. Okay, frick you then. I rushed using Fury. Since it walked on 4 legs its neck it was hard for me to target it. So I targeted its eyes. After a brief struggle I was able to kill it.
(1\15)
I looked down at the demon I killed. Killing it wasn't hard. But did it being easy meant I should be doing it?
"Follow your heart. Be good. Only in goodness we can protect this world. Please, promise me. Promise me that you will be good."
That headache again. What is this? Why it is happening? Who are you? Who I am? Did other demons also felt like this? Did they also had memories that weren't their own? Wait, why would I have memories that weren't mine? I felt something running down on my cheek. A tear? Why?
(Surpassing unnecessary emotions.)
My head became blank at instant. What were I thinking? I didn't remember. Whatever, I am hungry. I bit down on carcass. It tasted disgusting. Not just taste but texture also sucked. Maybe if I could cook it it would taste better? I looked at my claws. Even if I could find the materials no way I would be able create fire with this savage things. After eating as much as possible I tried to use my hands. I tried to grab things and use them. What I wanted to do most was to see whatever I could pick up and throw rocks. It ended with failure. I could pick them up from ground but getting the position and throwing them was impossible. Three fingers are not enough. Still I probably can carry things. If I find something valuable that's it. I also wanted to find a place where I can sleep without getting attacked. A cave, perhaps? At my first days I tried to sleep at top of the trees but they attacked me. I looked at the purple sun slowly setting. At night stronger demons roamed around. They were bigger than me. Maybe most demons are actually noctural? Regardless of the reason I better lay low during the night.

I growled. It drove me crazy. This life. Hunting, killing, eating, shitting, sleeping. Like an animal. Doing bare minimum, living bare minimum. How did other demons lived like this? It felt disgusting. There should be something more. Something much more.
"Roarrrr!"
Ah, shut up! I slammed my wristblade to roaring demon. It made weird noises and died. I couldn't even think without getting attacked! Those disgusting, stupid things. They didn't even understood I was stronger than them. They did not even tried to attack my weak points! How stupid they were! Maybe ones that come out at night are smarter? I decided that I would go out this night. Unlike the day I tried to be stealthy. My posture was already hunched down so it wasn't such a big deal. But despite my suprise I couldn't find anyone. Well, anyone alive at least. There were a lot of corpses. Most of them were adult demons. Weird. Whatever killed them it didn't ate them. Why? There weren't any bite marks. They seemed to be killed by something sharp, in one strike. Ambushed, perhaps?
"Better to hide."
I did not knew who or what did this. And I wasn't sure if I wanted to meet with it. I looked at blood red moon. Despite finding it beautiful it also felt eerie. I found somewhere to hide and slept.
