Deranged Writer's Afterword

I've lived for a long time as both John Sinclair and Adam Creed,

Along the way, I've learned a lot of things,

The most important thing I've learned is that whatever happens.....will happen. It may sound confusing but it is what it is.

So, I've decided to just ignore my Dina problem....at least she won't hurt me now....not until all her memories come back.

It might be a different story then...

' Forget it...', I thought neatly arranging my clothes in my room.

' I wonder where those two went ?'

I hadn't seen either Lecia or Eric, but I wasn't too worried since they believed my lie and all....maybe I should take up lying as a job...I think I would pretty good at it.

After finishing up, I go take a quick shower to freshen up.

I had a lot of stuff to do today.

" I want an audience with General Kirsi."

" Hmmmmmmm....can I ask why ?", Laurine Gem asked curiously.

I've been thinking about visiting the demons for awhile now, I had many questions for them.

" I have some questions for her.."

Seeing that I wasn't going to share more, Laurine sighs and says,

" Well...I'll ask the higher-ups."

She gets up and goes down and tells something to the bartender before beckoning me towards her.

We were currently at 'Looters', a back alley bar that also acted as a base of operations for the demons within the human empire.

I follow Laurine to an elevator, which we use to enter the secret underground level.

Long story short, they teleported me using a gate.

Unlike last time, I didn't have to cross a dessert to reach the place, I was directly sent to the throne room.

'I wonder why they did that the first time...', I thought bowing my head before the demon king, Belial.

Belial surprisingly looked healthy...

" You've changed a lot child...", Belial commented on my appearance with a warm smile on his face.

" Well...this was an accident.", I say pointing at myself.

" You look like a girl...Hahahahahahahahahha", Helmer laughed loudly but soon stops-

' Smack'

Aurora smacked him on the back and says,

" Don't interrupt the king."

Helmer lets out a little 'Oww' and goes silent.

" Tell us the reason for your visit, Adam.", Belial ordered me ignoring the bickering of his generals.

" Actually, I....wanted to talk with General Kirsi."

" Oh....yes, you may talk with her."

....

None of them moved a muscle and stared at me.

I wanted to talk with her alone...but I suppose I can do it with all of them present.

" Well....can you use that skill on me again ?", I asked Kirsi ignoring all the stares.

Kirsi's face was cold as ice as she answered clearly,

" No."

Gasps of shock ran out through the room, of course Belial was composed as always but the only thing missing for the others was popcorn.

Something tells me that the demons here are all incredibly bored.....

" Can I ask the reason why ?", I asked politely

" I don't wish to experience the horrors of your soul again, Adam Creed."

'Gasp'

'Gasp'

'Gasp'

" Would you do it...if I ordered you to ?", Belial interjected.

Kirsi's face hardened when she heard her question,

" I would."

Belial thought for awhile before asking me a question,

" Why do you want to do it ?"

" Well.....whatever's inside of me got out during an event and it was bad so I wanted to find a permanent solution before things...get more out of hand."

Belial thinks for another good minute before speaking,

" Well, If Kirsi doesn't want to do it....I won't force her, I suggest you find another way.", The king politely declined for Kirsi.

Hearing Belial, I could see Kirsi hiding a small smile.

Well...this must be why everyone likes him...

It's a shame that they won't help but I can't blame them all that much, they've already done a lot for me. But I still can't help but feel a little bitter.

Without Kirsi's help, I was lost on how to get 'X' out of me....but I'm sure that I'll think of something.

As I said earlier, whatever happens.....happens or was it something else...nope that's it...I'm pretty sure.

" Well....I guess this is goodbye then...", I say turning around.

" No....we can't just send back a guest, why don't you stay for dinner ?....I'm sure that Tania would appreciate your presence..", Belial suggested awkwardly.

" I suppose I can sta---oh I almost forgot....I did have another question for all of you.."

" For all of us ?", Bal asked puzzled.

I nod my head.

" Well then.....ask away !", Belial proclaims smiling.

I'm a little nervous....but these people or demons should know best..

" This may sound strange....but what do you know about 'transmigration' ?"
