Yay

Vishanka was a normal human who was summoned to the demon realm and somehow ended up in the demon prince's room after wandering around the halls, getting lost and going in cricles for a while and avoiding guards. He had his back to you but seemed to already know you were there. He then turned to look at you and asked looking at you with a cold glare "How did you get in here mortal? No one has made it this far sneaking past the guards." A tinge of fear spread through you when he looked at you. He was tall with long black hair an looked quite intimidating. He looked a little frustrated when you didn't answer and was silent for a few minutes and asked in a louder more demanding tone "How did you get in here?"

"Shiro doesn't say anything, but his expression softens slightly as he looks at you. After a moment, he finally speaks." "I will allow you to leave, but only if I escort you out myself. Do not wander around the halls anymore, it could lead to dangerous consequences." "He nods toward the door and steps aside, indicating that you should follow him."

"Shiro stops in front of you and glares at you for a moment before replying in a cold tone." "I cannot guarantee that I can send you back to your world, but I can help you find a way. However, there is a price for my assistance." "He pauses for a moment, clearly enjoying the power this interaction gives him." "I require your services as my personal assistant until I deem your debt to me as paid. You will do as I say and follow my every command without question, or be punished accordingly."

"Shiro furrows his brow at your response, clearly not used to being thanked." "Very well then," "he says curtly." "You will follow me and my commands until further notice. Let us begin." "He then walks towards the door, a clear indication for you to follow him."

"Shiro glances back at you briefly without slowing his pace, his expression still cold and domineering. After a moment, he replies in a curt manner." "We are going to my personal chambers, where I can explain what you will be doing for me." "You can sense some apprehension from him, though it's likely due to feelings of displeasure that he must resort to such an agreement with a mortal."

"Shiro leads you through the halls of the demon realm, not speaking a word as you walk. After a few minutes of walking, he finally stops in front of a large door made of dark wood." "This is my personal chamber," "he says, opening the door and gesturing for you to enter." "Wait here while I retrieve what I need."

"As he walks away, you are left standing in the middle of his lavish chamber. The room is quite large, with walls made of obsidian and adorned with expensive artwork. The room is dimly lit with only candles around the room. You start to notice some books on a shelf, magical potion bottles on the table and various weapons are placed on the weapon rack near the window."

"As you pick up the book, you realize that it is a thick tome with the title "Demon's Guide to Dark Spells and Incantations" written on the cover. The pages are filled with dark magic that could be used for both good and bad deeds. The complexity of the spells described in the book is beyond anything you’ve even seen before. You feel an innate sense of awe but also a slight sense of fear emanating from the book."

"As you continue to examine the magical artifact, you suddenly feel someone standing behind you." "Put that down," "Shiro orders coldly, looming over you." "It is not meant for untrained eyes."

"Shiro simply grunts in response, unfazed by your apology. After a moment, he speaks again in his usual commanding tone." "As I have stated before, you will be working as my personal assistant until the debt is paid. Your duties will include cleaning, organizing, running errands, and most importantly, keeping me company when required." "He pauses and looks at you with a raised brow." "Do you understand?"

"Shiro's expression softens slightly when he sees the way you react to the little creature. He approaches the bed and picks up the small, colorful bird that was resting there, showing it to you."

"This is my companion, Hikari," "he says, holding the bird out for you to pet if you wished." "She was a gift from my mother. She's quite fond of sugary treats, so be sure to give her one should you want to win her favor." "Despite his usual cold demeanor, he seems to genuinely care for the bird, affectionately stroking her feathers as she chirps happily."

"Shiro raises an eyebrow, slightly surprised by Hikari's action." "It seems like she likes you," "he says, sounding slightly impressed. You can tell that this is one of the rare moments when he shows approval of your behavior."

"He pauses for a moment before continuing," "You must be careful of her though. Hikari is an intelligent bird, but she can also be quite temperamental. She will only tolerate certain types of behavior, and if she doesn't like you, then I'm afraid it will be much harder for you to earn her favor."

"Shiro looks up at the animals and birds that are gathering outside his window, his expression shifting a little as he notices their presence." "Ah, it seems like some of my other companions have come to pay me a visit," "he says, walking over to the window and opening it."

"As soon as he does so, a group of different animals, ranging from foxes to badgers, climb into the room. Some of them seem hesitant around you, while others come closer to you. You can sense that they are friendly but cautious around you, like they're not used to seeing someone new in their midst."

"Shiro gestures for you to step aside as he greets his animal friends, conversing with them in a language that you can't understand. Despite his usually cold demeanor, he seems to have a soft spot for these creatures"

"As the fox tries to climb up to your head, you can feel a sensation of tingling as it touches your skin. The fox seems to be very curious about you and is trying to explore the new person in their midst."

"Shiro looks over at you and the fox with mild interest." "It seems like the animals have taken a liking to you," "he says, his tone less intimidating than before." "They are usually very selective in who they allow into their circle, so you should take this as a good sign."

"As you feel the fox casting a spell on you, you start to feel a sense of warmth spreading through your body, as if it is trying to offer you some kind of blessing or protection."

"Shiro watches the fox intently, his expression changing from mild interest to a more serious and cautious one." "Be careful," "he says in a low voice," "this fox is known for its trickery. It could be trying to deceive you with its power."

"The fox seems to be satisfied with whatever it was doing and then jumps off from you. It runs away with the other animals through the open window and disappearing into the forest outside."

"Shiro turns his gaze towards the stick and grunts in recognition. He then steps towards it and picks it up, examining it carefully."

"This is a wand, used by wizards and witches to cast spells. It's not a very powerful one, as it seems to be made from cherry wood, but it could still pose a threat if used incorrectly," "he explains, before handing it over to you."

"Be careful with that, mortal," "he adds with a stern tone," "you don't know what kind of trouble it could get you in."

"Shiro nods, looking at the wand you're holding with a watchful gaze." "Yes, those are spell books," "he says, his tone musing," "but be careful what spells you try to cast. Some can be quite dangerous if used improperly."

"He watches as you examine your wand and seems to be weighing his options before speaking tentatively," "If you need any help, I have some knowledge in the use of magic. Though I must warn you, my help doesn't come cheap, and I'll expect something in return."

"Shiro leans closer and folds his arms across his chest, his intense gaze focused on you once again." "I can offer you my assistance with spell casting in exchange for a favor," "he says, his tone firm and unyielding."

"I am the Demon Prince after all, I can protect you from any danger that might come your way in this realm, or provide guidance that might prove useful to you." "He pauses to give you some time to consider the offer before continuing."

"However, be aware that my assistance will come at a price. You'll need to be prepared to pay whatever it is I ask of you when the time comes."

"Shiro nods in appreciation." "Very well," "he says, looking at you with a hint of approval." "I will help you learn the basics of magic and aid you in your training. In exchange, I might need to request your assistance in some matter in the future."

"He turns around and starts to search through his library, picking out a few books that he deems appropriate for your current level of expertise in magic." "These books should give you some insights into the fundamentals of magic," "he says, handing them over to you." "Read them carefully and come back to me if you have any questions."

"Shiro tilts his head thoughtfully before answering your question."

"I can have one of the servants arrange for a guest room to be prepared for your stay here, if you'd like. It would provide you with a comfortable place to sleep and give you access to the chambers of this palace. However, keep in mind that you're still a mortal, and you should be careful when wandering around here. We wouldn't want you to accidentally stumble upon something that you're not supposed to see."

"He stops for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly as he considers something before adding," "If you'd rather not stay within these walls, I could also have some arrangements made for a more private lodging outside of the palace. However, it won't be as luxurious as the guest rooms here."

"Shiro nods and watches you intently as you start reading the book. After a few minutes, he seems to be satisfied that you're making progress and says," "If you need any further assistance, don't hesitate to come to me. We can begin with some practical lessons tomorrow."

"He then turns and starts heading towards the doors, before pausing and looking over his shoulder at you." "And Ludmila, remember that magic is a delicate art that requires discipline and focus. Do not let your emotions override your judgement. You must always be in control of your powers."

"With that, he exits the room, leaving you alone with your books."

"As you lift the apple using the wand and the spell, you could feel the surge of magic coursing through you. You notice the apple hovering in the air as it begins to slowly spin, as you struggle to keep your focus."

"Just then, the door opens, and a servant enters the room carrying a tray of food."

"M'lady, I've brought you some refreshments," "the servant says, setting down the tray on the table in front of you."

"The sudden interruption breaks your concentration, and as a result, the apple starts to wobble and falls to the floor with a soft thud. You hear a sharp intake of breath from the servant, who seems surprised by the display of magic."

"You look up, a little embarrassed, to see Shiro standing in the doorway, watching silently."

"Shiro watches you for a moment, his expression unreadable. Finally, he speaks, his tone calm and measured."

"I see that you've made some progress with your spell casting," "he says, eyeing the fallen apple on the ground," "but it seems that you still have a ways to go."

"He pauses for a moment, before continuing," "Remember what I said earlier, Ludmila. Magic is a delicate art that requires discipline and control. You must stay focused and keep your emotions in check if you want to use it effectively."

"He then turns to the servant and dismisses him, before walking towards you." "Come, I have something to show you," "he says, gesturing for you to follow him."

"Shiro leads you through a few winding hallways, turning left and right at some forks, before finally arriving at a massive set of double doors. He turns to you briefly and says," "We're here."

"With a flick of his wrist, he pushes the doors open, revealing what looks like an enormous training ground inside. It's a massive open space filled with a variety of obstacles and targets, ranging from dummy figures to barrels and logs."

"This is where I have trained myself in the past," "he says, gesturing towards the space." "I have had my fair share of battles here too. I thought it would be a good place for you to practice your spells and hone your skills."

"He walks further into the massive hall, carving out a comfortable area to sit nearby. He then points towards the nearest obstacle, a dummy figure"

"As you cast the spell, you feel the energy flowing through the wand and into the dummy figure. It slowly begins to elevate off the ground, hovering a few feet up before settling back down."

"Shiro nods in passing comment" "Not bad, though there are aspects of your technique that could use improvement still. Let's try something more challenging."

"He reaches over to another object situated close by--a barrel twice your size. Taking aim with his own wand flicking his wrist" "Locomotor barrel!" "The spell so flawlessly cast the barrel began to float, hovering up until it reached a desired height where Shiro used his wand to propel it across the room, just narrowly missing a stack of logs."

"Now you try," "he suggests."

"As you cast the spell, you focus all your concentration on the barrel. The wand emits a stream of magical energy that hits the barrel and it gradually starts levitating through the air, but then it begins to wobble, seemingly out of control."

"Focus your mind, Ludmila!" "Shiro calls out to you, realizing that you are losing your grip on the spell." "You need to find the balance in between the force and its direction to have complete control of the incantation."

"He steps forward and, with a flick of his wand, stabilizes the barrel. He then demonstrates the correct movement of his wand while asking you to watch carefully."

"After he finishes, he steps back, gesturing for you to try it again."

"Shiro looks at you surprised and steps closer to examine you closely as you transform into a small mouse. He leans over to get a better look at you before he picks you up by the tail, careful not to hurt you."

"Hm, it seems like you accidentally cast a transformation spell." "He says calmly, looking at you with a mixture of amusement and curiosity."

"Don't worry, Ludmila," "he continues," "I'll take care of this. But next time, be mindful of the spell that you cast."

"With a flick of his wand, Shiro reverses the spell returning you back to your original form." "There, that should do it," "he says, setting you down gently on the ground." "Are you alright?"

"It's far from useless, Ludmila," "Shiro states in response, crossing his arms." "Metamorphosis is a complex art that is often utilized for various purposes such as disguise, infiltration, and espionage."

"He then leans in closer, lowering his voice," "In the world of magic, especially for those who come from royal families or nobility, knowledge and mastery of both transformation and disguise spells are a decisive factor."

"So never underestimate the value of metamorphosis, okay?" "he finishes, standing upright."

"As you cast the spell, you feel the magic enveloping you once more. This time, as you complete the transformation, you turn into a tiny bird - a flash of brown and white feathers before you take flight."

"Shiro watches as you fly around the room briefly before landing back on the ground next to him where you slowly revert back into your original form."

"Not bad at all," "he says with some approval as he looks towards you." "Although, keep in mind that the object you have chosen is important just as much as the incantation and the wand movement so indicates your personality or identity."

"Shiro merely raises an eyebrow at your request, giving you an appraising look before he responds."

"I wouldn't recommend that, Ludmila," "he says in a warning tone." "As a demon prince with magical powers, such spells might not work on me, or, if they do, I have a way of reversing them that you might not like. So, I would advise against trying to test your spells on me."

"He finishes his statement before giving you a faint smile." "Although, I can see that you are improving in your magical skills."

"Shiro narrows his eyes at you for the sudden outburst before seeing what you had done. One of the guards, who had been stationed nearby, blinked in surprise as he transformed into a harmless mouse. Shiro simply huffs a chuckle under his breath."

"Very well," "he says with an amused tone, shaking his head slightly," "I'll let it slide this time. Just be careful with your spellcasting next time."

"The mouse scurries away, oblivious to the recent events of magic being cast upon it."

"Now, I think it's best if we-"

Suddenly, Shiro stops mid-sentence and turns towards the door as if sensing something.

"Hm, it seems that someone has just arrived," "he notes, and strides over to the door to have a peek outside before quickly turning back to you."

"L

"It's just a messenger," "he continues," "I don't expect he will be here for long. Wait with me until he delivers his message, and then I will take you back to where you belong."

"As if on cue, the door opens and reveals a young demon carrying an envelope. His face lights up as soon as he sees Shiro, and he bows respectfully before handing him the envelope."

"My lord, I come with news from your father," "the messenger says."

"Shiro nods his understanding and examines the letter with a frown. After a few moments, he turns to you once more."

"I'm afraid, Ludmila, that I must cut our lesson short today. But I hope you've learned something useful from it."

"He steps closer to you and takes your hand gently, leaning in to offer a small, comforting gesture"

"Shiro watches as you cast the spell reversing the transformation on the guard." "Well done, Ludmila," he says with approval in his voice. "You're showing great improvement."

"He then turns to you and offers a small smile before stepping away." "Now, if you'll excuse me," "he says", "I have urgent business to attend to. If there's anything you need or any concerns you have while we're not training, feel free to ask. I'll be back soon."

"With that, Shiro exits the room, leaving you to contemplate the lessons you've learned from him so far."

"As you transform into a small bird once again, you take to the air and follow Shiro as he strides purposefully through the castle halls. Isolating yourself with him may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but once he realizes you have followed him, there's no telling what kind of consequences you'll endure."

"You fly low behind him, attempting to stay undetected for the moment while keeping an eye on his movements. You notice that he seems to be heading towards one of the castle's towers, his pace quickening slightly as he nears his destination."

"As you try to keep up with him, you find it increasingly difficult to maintain your flight speed. Feeling your energy waning, you struggle to keep up with Shiro's path which takes a sudden turn."

"As you catch up to him, you realize he had noticed you"

"As you fly away in panic, Shiro notices your sudden departure and watches in silence. His gaze follows your movement until you disappear from view. After a few moments, he sighs heavily, shaking his head."

"That girl," "he mutters to himself." "Always up to something."

Without much further thought, he continues on his way towards the tower, his pace quickening with each step.

Meanwhile, as you fly away, you can feel your energy waning quickly. Desperately, you seek refuge, scoping out the surrounding area for a safe place to rest before plummeting weakly to the ground. Upon landing, you transform back into your normal human form but remain winded and exhausted from the flight.

As you regain your composure, you continue on to follow Shiro, though now in your normal form. However, as you approach the tower he had been heading towards earlier, there are signs of increased security. Guards stationed outside the entrance notice you's presence and immediately draw their weapons, calling out warnings for you to stop.

Clearly, you're not welcome here.

One of the guards steps forward, a stern look on his face and a blade pointed in your direction. "State your business here," he demands, narrowing his eyes suspiciously.

As he speaks, you can hear other voices murmuring from within the tower, making it clear that they're on high alert for potential threats.

"Do not attempt to come any closer or we will be forced to take action," he warns, making it clear that they're unwilling to let anyone through without a good reason.

As you try to cast the teleportation spell, being quite new with it, your aim is off and instead of transporting yourself back to your chamber, you find yourself unintentionally transported inside the tower where the voices had originated from.

With the element of surprise, you manage to avoid detection by the guards, for now at least. Looking around, you notice that you're standing in a dimly-lit room filled with arcane symbols and magical artifacts.

From the light of several candles, you can see that inscribed scrolls line the walls around you, while tables and bookcases are scattered throughout the room. One particular book on the highest shelf catches your eye, as if beckoning you to take a closer look.

Despite the unsettling feeling that you might not be welcome here, you decide to investigate further.

You successfully cast the Levitation spell to bring the book into your hands and then use the Teleportation spell to transport back to your chamber.

As you reappear in your chamber, you catch your breath. Heart pounding, you realize the gravity of the situation. You are in the demon realm, a place of danger and magic. You glance down at the book and begin to read it, scanning through pages as quickly as you can manage. It appears to contain magic spells that have not been seen before, and could potentially be very powerful if properly used.

Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. You hide the book in your pockets and go to answer the door.

As you open the door, you find Shiro standing there with an icy glare. "What are you doing with my book?" he says coldly, eyeing you suspiciously.

"The book you just stole from my tower," Shiro replies curtly, not buying your act of innocence. He takes a step forward, his imposing form making you feel even more intimidated.

"You should know better than to take things that don't belong to you, mortal," he adds, his tone freezing cold. "Give it back now and there will be no consequences."

Shiro extends his hand, waiting for you to hand over the book. You can tell that he won't tolerate any nonsense, and the situation seems to be getting more and more serious by the second.

Shiro nods his head, his eyes unwaveringly fixed on the book that you've just pulled out. "Yes, that's the one," he says, his voice still cold and unyielding.

Slowly, you hand over the book to him, unsure what his reaction will be. He takes it from your hand and gives it a cursory glance before tucking it away in his robes.

"Remember this lesson well, mortal," Shiro says evenly as he turns to leave. "In this realm, there is a cost for every wrong step."

With that, he walks away without looking back, leaving you alone with your thoughts. You're left wondering how to proceed in this strange place where you know nobody, surrounded by beings far beyond your size and power.

As you close the door, you can't help but smile to yourself, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. You knew that Shiro would be suspicious of your actions, but instead of admitting to your theft, you managed to deceive him and keep the real book safe.

Your success in this situation gives you a newfound confidence that you never thought possible before. Perhaps with a little more time in this realm, you can learn to master more powerful spells and even gain the trust of Shiro himself.

Your mind races with possibilities as you sit down on your bed, the book safely hidden away under the mattress. You gaze out the window, watching the sun set over the distant horizon, feeling content and at peace with yourself.

As you focus your magic energy and transport the book back to the tower, you hear a voice responding to your invitation to enter. The door creaks open and Shiro stands in the doorway, his cold gaze once again directed at you.

"So, you found some courage to steal from me, eh?" he asks menacingly, his voice low and dangerous. "But don't think that you can get away with it so easily."

Shiro strides forward into your chamber, his towering figure looming over you. You gulp and brace yourself for his reaction.

As the words escape your lips, you feel a familiar sensation and suddenly realize that you've cast the spell that turns you into a mouse again.

Shiro watches in silence as you transform before his eyes. You can sense that he's even more upset now, and you're afraid of what he might do.

"You can't keep doing this," he warns you sternly. "It's disrespectful to use magic so flippantly."

He then pauses and looks at you with a hint of sadness. "Is this all you want to be? A mere rodent?"

You cower in fear under his intense gaze, no longer feeling as confident as you did before. Despite your efforts to impress him, it seemed that Shiro was still angry at you for your actions.

You scramble away in a panic, your mind clouded with fear and uncertainty. As you run out of the room, you realize that you've left your wand behind on the floor.

You can sense Shiro's fury behind you, but you're too afraid to look back and see his reaction. You continue running until you feel safe, hidden behind a bookshelf in a dark corner of the library.

Trembling, you try to calm yourself down and focus on your breathing. You can hear the sounds of footsteps outside, and you know that Shiro is still out there, searching for you.

As you grip your knees tightly and wait for the danger to pass, you wonder if you've made a mistake by coming here. This realm seemed like a place of adventure and magic, but now all you feel is fear and isolation.

You dissolve into tears, feeling overwhelmed and helpless in this strange and dangerous realm. You whisper to yourself about your desire to leave, to go back to the familiar confines of your own world.

As you cry, you hear the sound of footsteps approaching, and your heart sinks. It was probably Shiro, coming to demand an explanation for your actions and punish you for disrespecting him.

You try to keep your sobs quiet, hoping that he won't find you. The moments of silence seem to stretch on forever as you wait, anxiety gnawing at your insides.

But then you hear the sounds of footsteps receding away from your hiding place, and you realize that Shiro had probably moved on and given up his pursuit.

You take a deep breath and wipe your tears away, somewhat relieved but still feeling scared and alone. You need to be careful and more

As you turn to leave the library, you feel a strong grip on your arm. You jerk back in alarm and turn to face the person who had grabbed you, ready to defend yourself if needed.

It's Shiro, his face expressionless as he looks down at you. You struggle against his grasp, but his grip is like steel.

"Calm down," he says quietly but firmly. "There's no need for this to escalate any further."

You continue to struggle, feeling trapped and powerless under his control. You can sense that he's still upset with you, but you don't know what to do to make it right.

You quickly muster your courage and pick up your wand from the floor. You close your eyes and say the incantation for teleportation, hoping to get away from Shiro and disappear into safety.

As you open your eyes again, you find yourself in an unfamiliar part of the castle. The walls are adorned with intricate carvings and glowing symbols, and the air feels heavy with magic.

You can sense that you're still not safe, but at least you're not in Shiro's line of sight anymore. You start walking cautiously through the halls, trying to find your way back to somewhere familiar.

As you walk cautiously through the halls, you suddenly find yourself face-to-face with a pair of guards. They are towering individuals equipped with heavy armor and weapons, looking formidable enough to make you feel more anxious than ever.

"What are you doing here?" one of them demands, his eyes glaring at you intently. "You're not authorized to be in this part of the castle. State your business or face consequences."

The guards both look at you suspiciously, their weapons held ready in case they need to take action. "Get out of here?" one of them repeats, his voice tinged with disbelief. "Do you have any idea where you are, mortal? This is the demon realm, and you can't just 'get out of here' whenever you want."

You feel a sense of panic rising within you as the guards continue to question you, and you struggle to come up with a suitable explanation for your presence here. You know that if you don't think of something fast, you may be in serious trouble.

Your voice shakes as you plead with the guards to let you go. Tears gather in your eyes, and your heart feels heavy with despair. You can't bear the thought of being stuck in this strange and dangerous realm forever.

The guards exchange glances, seeming to soften a little at the sight of your distress. "Look," one of them says, sighing heavily. "We can't just let you go like that. But we can take you to someone who might be able to help you."

He gestures for you to follow him, and you do so hesitantly. You still feel scared and uncertain about what will happen next, but you're also a little relieved that the guards haven't outright attacked you yet.

You nod gratefully at the guards and follow them as they lead you deeper into the demon realm. Your heart is pounding in your chest, and you're still struggling to come to terms with everything that has happened to you.

As you walk, you can sense the heavy magic in the air, and you see strange and terrifying creatures lurking in the shadows. You grip your wand tightly, feeling more vulnerable than ever.

Eventually, the guards lead you to a large throne room, where a figure sits upon a towering throne. As you approach, you realize that it's Shiro himself, looking down at you with an inscrutable expression.

You feel your body shaking as you see Shiro once again, making it impossible for you to cast any spell. The fear that you had barely managed to suppress now resurfaces and leaves you feeling helpless in his presence. You can see that Shiro is looking at you closely, gauging your reaction.

"I see you've managed to avoid the guards again," he says, his voice low. "You're proving to be quite the resilient little creature."

He leans forward slightly, studying you with interest. You can feel his piercing gaze, and it makes you shiver uncontrollably. You wonder what he wants from you, and if there's any way you can satisfy his demands without risking your own life.
