《》Chapter 22

Drew's POV
It's been hours since Bella has left. While the Guillos took her to Boss, they led me away into the ship and into my habitat. From the outside, a thick pane of glass is surrounded by the metal iron walls. Through the glass, you can see every part of the space that Bella and I have been living in. Well, except inside the shack.
The Guillos that took me on the ship, shove me which makes me almost fall to the ground. I plant my feet firmly on the ground and try to stabilize myself. Then, with another shove, I move forward.
One of them, moves over to a part of the wall that has a key pad on it. He punches in 2065 in it and pushes the wall open. I try my best to memorize the code. I bet I could use it in the future. The Guillos shove me into the room that has a bunch of keyboards and monitors. Is this what Bella called a computer? In front of the "computers" are chairs that are filled with creatures. Two of them I recognize as Cokara and the other one I have never seen before in my life.
The unrecognizable creature stares at me as if he is looking at my soul. As he looks at me, I look at him and try to memorize his features. His skin is a shade of mint green and his hair is coal black. Atop his head are five-inch horns that are the darkest shade of black and is speckled with green and yellow jewels. He is thin but has a lot of muscle on him and his eyes are completely black with the iris as a deep blood red that completely contrasts with his other features. Parts of his skin, jut out in blocky formations.

This dude really just looks like the human embodiment of mint chocolate chip ice cream, I thought.
He blinks and then turns his chair to face the computer, no longer paying attention to me. I am forced to move forward as the Guillos open another part of the wall and am pushed through.
The Guillos stands in front of me and as I take in the fact that we are in an empty room, I didn't realize the butt of the gun hitting my forehead.
_______________________________
Drew crumples to the floor in a heap and the Guillos that hit him steps over him, being careful not to touch him. He closes the door and nods at the others that gave him questioning looks.
"Get XY-35 And XC-28 to escort the human to his habitat. He will wake up shortly," clicked the Guillos.
"Yes, Commander Dacan," replied the mint chocolate chip looking Fae.
The Fae leaves and gets the escorts needed for the Human. It was weird looking into his soul, he thought.
I could see his past, present, and future. I mean the future isn't set in stone but still ... I could see the immediate future. His past was awful, though. The love that he held for the boy that died was almost too painful to bare and yet he kept pushing forward.
The war and pain that humans go through... He sighed.
The Fae goes down a series of corridors and into the docking bay.
"XY-35 and XC-28 are needed in Section H. I repeat, XY-35 and XC-28 are needed in Section H," The Fae yells, before turning to go back to his station. It's going to be a long day, he thought.

Summon Imp!
Travel with a newly born demon as he grows and learns in his own world as well as in other worlds as he gets summoned again and again. Usually to die or kill for others in strange and exciting places, but it's never certain what the next one will bring. It has its perks. With each new world comes a new story with new experiences and new lessons. There is always more to see, more to learn and more to know. Maybe, someday, it will all make sense. For now he will just work hard to become stronger, to be useful and, hopefully, survive that way. A coming-of-age story, but different. Things start to slow down to a crawl. Colors blur into one another until my vision is completely white. All I can think is "Shit, not this again!" I hate being summoned. _________________________________ updates once a week until I get more time The idea for this story began in two places. One was the ridiculously rapid pace of gaining power in many novels. Both in games and in novels, I enjoy the struggle of the beginning character, why always the rush? The other was the way many monster or non-human MCs always seem to hurry to become human (again). It always felt like a cheap way to grant the character extra powers without the difficulty of writing a non-standard thought process. Thus I wanted to write the slow(ish) progression of a monster character gaining strength and intelligence, while remaining distinctly non-human. There are no stats, xp or systems, no reincarnated soul or completely formed being to start with - unless I want to make fun of those. While the MC 'evolves', the process takes months if not years to proceed step by little step. Sit down with me and imagine, what would it be like if...
