1 I am a Man!

I hate this darkness. How long has it been? I feel like, I am sleeping in this darkness thousand of years. I used to see through my owner, my creator. But the last thing I saw was a big humanoid creature hit my head. Then everything went dark. Has my owner died?

Maybe he is still alive, but closed his eyes, and ears, and all other feelings. It doesn't mean he is dead, just because I can't feel anything.

I used to like this darkness. It was my home, place I waited the moments my creator call me again. I named this darkness "Longing Hub" where I waited for my owner to summon me once more, and wishing those words. He never gave me a name but called me "buddy." Ah, how I loved this word. I was his buddy, and he was my buddy. Well, your buddy is all alone in this darkness now. Where are you, buddy?

Is this? Am I being summoned again?

I felt the similar yet entirely different energy invading the darkness. I hold on to the heat surrounded me. I walked out of the Darkness, to see my savior. It was a young man, with dark hair, dark eyes. He looked at me with disappoint. I can't blame him. I can't even save my creator. I will not give up. I will not return to that Darkness!

I climbed over his shoulders to lick his face. I have to get familiar with it. He is my owner now.

"You said, I can erase him from the pendant?" talked my new owner.

"I understand. It will be expensive, but it is a waste the use this Divine Item to use it on such a creature." my owner talked about me. He wanted to erase me from this pendant. He is right.

The pendant is a Divine Item. I always wanted to tell my creator this, but I never able to speak with him. Now, this pendant can serve with better. At least I will eat those killed my creator. I couldn't kill them, but I will eat them.

There were 101 creatures. They were sleeping in this underground chamber, and my new owner killed them all. Eating their heart wasn't so hard.

After I ate all of their hearts, from their dead body, I felt a surge of energy running through my body. I felt stronger, and I can speak?

I walked out of the chamber, where my owner waited. I flashed to his shoulder with amazing speed, even surprised myself. He murmured "Observe" and his forehead form a frown.

"What is going on? Was this fellow strong?" he talked to himself.

"I see. So, you ate the Otherworldly Creature's hearts."

"Oh, I should give you a name. So are you a boy or a girl?"

I gathered my manliest voice and said: "I am a man!"

"So you can speak. That fellow must imagine you from this world's beast. When you become Saint Beast, you get the ability to speak." my owner said. Am I a Saint Beast now? It should be hearts of those evil creatures, made me stronger.

"What should I call you? You are a boy, ahem man. I'll call you Jon. I had a friend called Jon. He was the biggest cat fan." my owner said.
