"Colin, what are you doing out here?" I heard Synthia's annoying voice enter my ears. I groggily opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was a lot of shadowy figures standing over . Once I fully opened my eyes I saw Claire, Tim, Roxy and Synthia looking down at . I tried standing up but I stumbled, my feet shaking from exhaustion and I felt incredibly weak for so reason. Then my mories ca flooding back, making groan at my own stupidity, but also joyful about my success.
"I got you, take it easy." Tim said, helping up onto my feet.
"Thanks." I replied
"What happened why are you out here? And why do you look dead?" Roxy asked. I looked at my hand and noticed that my skin looked incredibly pale and they seed a bit skinnier than usual. I also felt incredibly hungry.
"I don't know. Maybe I'm just sick or sothing." I lied
"Demons can get sick?" Roxy asked and Synthia just raised an eyebrow, she knew I was lying.
"How do you know that I'm a Demon?" I asked and instantly I knew how stupid that question was. I guess my brain was still lagging a bit.
"Oh, Claire told us." Roxy said
"Oh." I said and looked at Claire and she looked away.
"Either way, I'm fine now." I said and leaned off of Tim and almost fell back to the ground, but I forced myself to stay on my feet.
"Are you sure dude?" Tim asked, concern evident in his voice.
"Yeah I'm fine, see you guys around." I said while walking away.
"Do you think he'll be fine?" Claire asked
"Yeah, he should be fine in a few hours. Demons have strong regenerative powers, what I'm concerned about is what he was doing here in the first place." Synthia said and I could feel her gaze on as I walked away.

I soon reached my house or at least the place I was staying at for now. I imdiately went to the kitchen and took out everything that was edible from the fridge and I wondered how we even still have electricity. I figured the entire grid would have collapsed by now. Eating helped a bit, as the muscle mass I lost returned after consuming all the food in the fridge, but I still felt weakened, so I checked my status.
Na: Colin
Race: Demon
Level: 2/15( 1080 exp next level)
LP: 100/310
DP: 10/31
Traits: [Will to Live], [Senses Manipulation], [Demon's Pride], [Demon Enchant], [Holy Resistance]
Skills: [Regeneration], [Supernatural Physique], [Supernatural Senses], [Aura Vision], [Demonic Energy Manipulation], [Compulsion], [Contract], [Demon Transformation], [Hell Fire affinity]
My LP was recovering slower than before and so was my DP, no doubt an after effect of staying so long inside the [Holy Territory]. I'm guessing there was residual holy energy in my body, like poison flowing through my blood, and I could only hope that it would eventually disappear, and my body would return to normal.
[Holy Resistance: One of the oldest races of Demons were Angels who fell from the path of enlightennt and stepped onto the path of profanity. The once pure and holy creatures beca corrupted and unholy thus they could no longer be Angels and instead beca sothing new, Demons. They made the Underworld their ho but the Angels, their forr brothers and sisters, hunted them down but they managed to hold their ground. They found that holy energy hurt them severely, it was the bane of their new existence so they decided to do sothing about it. Using their knowledge of holy energy they created the Trait [Holy Resistance] and now they were prepared to battle the Angels once more. Many of these ancient Demons perished but a few still lurk in the Underworld.
Congratulations, you are now one of the few Demons that possess the [Holy Resistance] Trait. Your resistance to holy powers will grow as you are exposed to holy energy.]
That's a lot of information but most of it was useless to right now. And so, I decided to do what my body has been asking to do for a while now, I headed upstairs to my bedroom, fell face first onto the bed and fell asleep.
