I coughed hard. Blood spilling from my mouth. For a demon so fat and big, it's more flexible and faster than it seems—I thought to myself. My ribs sent waves of pain into my head, my back hurt like hell—vision blurry. "Now... Do you remember me, Chris?" The demon asked, its voice sounded like a young lady I knew—a wicked smile spread across his face."Now... I do," I grunted slowly I stood to my feet. I remember that disgusting skin, that annoying smile—that ugly body... It's going to fall before my blade. "Wow—" am honored by those touching words of yours, at least now when you die—you will know who was responsible.You have it all wrong bastard—slowly I picked my sword with my right hand, I'm going to end your pathetic life. Here and now! I swung my blade around."Bring it!" The demon advanced with a burst of speed. We both met at the center of the base. His claw came down on me, I met it head on with sword. He tried to grab me with his left hand, I ducked. "Arghhhh," it roared af

"Ahhh..." I groaned as my eyes slowly opened. A chilling cold pressed against my back and seeped into my bones. Sticky, warm demon blood clung to my skin.I pushed myself up carefully, legs wobbling like a newborn’s. My vision blurred as I turned to my right. There lay the demon’s corpse. I clutched my head with both hands; loud, pounding sounds echoed inside my skull. It felt like my head was about to split open.Slowly, I took one shaky step after another. “Fuck!

I glanced back at the demon’s body. *Now I see.* I had eaten its flesh. I guess I only did it to protect my family.“Wait—my family!” My eyes widened. *Fuck… Please, you guys should be alright.*I shot to my feet and immediately regretted it. My skull pulsed like a second heart—every heartbeat drove fresh spikes of pain behind my eyes. Spit slipped from my

"Why are we heading towards the bridge, brother?" Jubi asked. "Wouldn’t it be a disadvantage for us? We might end up surrounded by demons.""After I defeated that demon, I gained some intel from it," I explained. "Half the city has already been taken over by demons. We’re currently in the half they control.""So we cross the bridge, then wait for them to come to us—is that the plan?" Williams asked, his fingers firmly wrapped around the machine gun."That’s it," I replied. "But we’ll need to make sure there’s only one path between us and them." My eyes caught a glimpse of the bridge in the distance."Bam-bam-bam." Praise hit the car’s body three times. "I can see the bridge up ahead, guys!""Yeah, I’m beginning to see it too!" John added."Now we’re approaching the bridge, brother. What’s the plan?" Williams asked."We’re going to destroy every lane except one," I said, my knuckles whitening on the steering wheel. "We’ll be on the other side to make sure none of them cross over. You g
