It was 10 p.m. on March 3, 2018. Kaiser, a 14-year-old boy, was walking briskly home after a long day at high school. Suddenly, a chilling sensation ran down his spine.
He turned around and his eyes met those of a black cat. A shiver ran down his skin as he noticed the animal's piercing, creepy gaze. "Hey, bug, what are you doing here?" Kaiser murmured, trying to make the encounter less important. However, his instinct told him otherwise.
Suddenly, the cat jumped at him, trying to scratch him. With a swift movement, Kaiser managed to dodge it. But when he looked at it again, he was horrified to see how its body transformed, taking the form of a feline-like demon. "What is that?! Oh my God!" Kaiser screamed, running at full speed for cover.
The demon cat pursued him relentlessly, closing the distance between them with each stride. "Why are you running, kid?! I just want to play a little!" the demon roared in a guttural voice, his eyes glowing with hellish fire. Kaiser, trembling with fear, could barely utter a word: "What the hell do you want?" "Your soul!" the demon bellowed, lunging at him with razor-sharp claws.
Kaiser struggled with all his might, trying to escape the demon's grasp. With a precise blow, he managed to connect his fist with the monster's jaw, knocking it back.
The demon cat, enraged by the blow, roared in pain and vowed revenge. "You'll get me back, I'll turn you into mincemeat," it threatened as it prepared to strike again. Just at that moment, a female figure appeared from the darkness, standing between Kaiser and the demon.
"Are you okay, kid?" the girl asked in a soft, melodious voice, with a slight Maracaibo accent that set Kaiser's antennae alight. "What is this thing?" she asked, pointing at the demon in terror. "A demon cat," the girl replied calmly. "It's an evil being that has taken the form of a cat to deceive its victims."
As they spoke, the demon cat stood up, its head regenerating grotesquely. The girl was shocked to see this. "It can't be!" she exclaimed. "I cut off its head twice."
The demon cat, with a mocking smile, said, "I'm a demon cat. I have nine lives. And every time I lose one, I get stronger. How many heads did you cut off? Two, right? That means I'm now four times stronger than before." The girl, understanding the situation, was filled with concern.
The demon was now a formidable enemy. The feline attacked the girl furiously, dodging her swift movements with ease. The girl was about to be defeated when, suddenly, a voice echoed in Kaiser's mind:
"Use your power, unleash it. Show what God has given you." "Who is it?" Kaiser asked, confused and astonished. The voice only repeated: "Use your power." And out of nowhere, a katana materialized before his eyes. "Use it, use your blessing," the voice commanded. Kaiser opened his eyes suddenly, propelled by an unknown force.
A snap of his fingers, and the katana was fixed to his back. He gripped it, unsheathed it, and the voice echoed again: "Say 'gift release.'" As he spoke the words, the katana's power enveloped him, transforming him. A black hood covered his head, a white shirt hugged his body, black jeans hugged his legs, and brown shoes completed his outfit.
