Dai:
It was a horrible day for me. Not only was work shitty, but… I had to deal with… Disrespectful workers and a minimum wage job. What the f**k was I to do when I was only making only $9,160 won per hour. That was going to f*****g kill me and I knew it wasn’t enough to survive on my own in America, the place I really wanted to go. I hated living in South Korea. It was horrible and I was going to save as much as I could to make it to the United States.
“Ugh, I need another job.” I said to myself as I walked over to my apartment building.
I stayed in the lowest part of South Korea and that was beginning to be a hard road for me. I wasn’t making rent on time and I barely had any money left for the bills, including my water. As I got to my apartment building, I stopped when I saw an unfamiliar man standing in front of my door, Apartment 1A.
“What can I help you with?” I asked the guy.
“Are you Dai Jin?” The guy asked me.
“Who’s asking?”
“Oh, someone who can change the outcome of your life.”
I chuckled and tried to walk past him, but he stopped me in my tracks.
“Aren’t you tired of being broke, Mr. Jin?” He asked me.
“I’m making money just fine.” I told him.
He smiled widely before looking around me.
“You stay in the most terrible place in South Korea. Either you are a fool or you’re not trying to see what I have instore for you.”
“Whatever it is, I’m not buying.”
“Oh, it’s free.”
He moved out of the way and I finally got to the door. Once I opened it, I walked inside and turned to him. When I tried to close it, he intercepted it with his foot.
“What if I told you, I can make you a billionaire in America by tomorrow morning?” He asked. “I can have a man come get you and take you to your new life.”
“I’d say you’re a f*****g scam.”
“Not if you do as I request.”
I looked around before I opened the door back up. What he was saying had me interested, but I had to be cautious.
“And what is that?”
“Invite me in.”
I stared at him for a second before I moved out of the way. He nodded and walked into the house. Then, I shut the door behind him and turned around. The guy stood there looking around.
“Okay, how does this work?” I asked him.
“First, you hear my request.” He told me.
“Fine.”
“I change your life, but you must live with a powerful demon inside of you for eternity. You will become immortal and you will be stronger than the others in hell. Once you agree, then we can move forward.”
“A demon? What are you? Who are you?”
“Oh, let’s just say I love to make people’s dreams come true. Wouldn’t you like yours to come true?”
“Will I die?”
“No, but your soul will become one with the demon himself. You will have some dark sides entering your head, most of the time.”
He was uncomfortable with what the man was saying.
“What are my rewards?” I asked him.
“A powerful ally. He won’t let you die at all. You’ll live a normal life and… You’ll be dating someone.”
“Dating?”
“Yes, someone from college. A junior.”
“Hm. Will I change?”
“You won’t be 45 years old anymore. You’ll be the first 19 year old billionaire.”
“How will I keep that money up?”
“Drugs, s*x clubs, fight clubs, whatever.”
“Drugs? I don’t even use.”
“You don’t have to use your product to sell.”
No, I thought to myself. That would be too risky. How was I going to get away with that?
“Having doubts?”
“I’m just not liking the ways you want me to go.”
“Your demon will help you with that.”
I paced back and forth, keeping my eyes on the man.
“And how do I know everything you’re telling me is true?” I asked.
He removed one of his hands from the glove he had on and extended it to me. I looked at it before I looked back up at him.
“Do we have a deal?” He asked me.
“You’re not giving me much of a choice.” I told him.
“You didn’t even have one to begin with.”
I sighed and slowly reached up to grab his hand. When mine got close, he quickly wrapped his hands around it and I felt the most agonizing pain ever. I dropped to my knees as soon as he let me go. My hands went to the side of my head, trying to shake that forced migraine out of it. My s**t felt like it was going to explode.
“UGH!” I groaned out loud.
Just to feel that I was going to split in half, I curled up into a ball, trying to fight off that painful feeling that shot its way into me like a bullet.
“Once he is in, you will go to sleep and your life will be different, beginning tomorrow.”
The guy left my side and walked off to the front door. I tried to get up and go after him. I wanted to know what he did to me.
“Wait!” I shouted, getting off the ground, slowly.
He just turned and smirked at me.
“Enjoy your new life.” He chuckled.
I finally was able to get on my feet, but I was bent over.
“Wait!”
Black smoke appeared around the guy and as soon as I got close to him, it disappeared, I scanned the whole area, but he was not even there. I felt lightheaded. Dizzy at that point and when I took a step forward, I had fallen onto the floor. My energy was depleting fast and my eyelids were beginning to droop.
“f**k…” I whispered before I closed my eyes.
Once I was close to going into a deep slumber, I swear I thought I heard a voice from within.
Hello, Dai Jin… I am Sukuna, the demon who now lives inside of you….
***
6 hours:
Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!
My eyes snapped open and I lifted my head up. My eyesight was a little blurry and when I tried to stand, I felt like a newborn deer. My head was pounding and the damn knocking on the door wasn’t helping at all. I leaned against the wall, trying to hold myself up.
“UGH!”
I stopped moving after hearing the bass in my voice. What the hell was that? I rushed over to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes widened at what I saw. It wasn’t my usual self at all. I looked completely different. It was not even me at all.
Thats because you look like me….
That voice. Could it be the voice of the demon I was told about? I cleared my throat, ready to ask questions, but the knocking at the door was still there. f**k, I forgot about them.
“Who is that?” I asked.
Able to control my legs now, I rushed over to the door and opened it. Two guys in suits stood there with swords and glasses on.
“Are you Dai Jin?” One of them asked.
“Yes.” I answered.
“We’re here to take you to America to your new estate.” One of them said.
“America? My estate? Wait, who are you guys?”
The two men removed their glasses and the first thing I noticed was their glowing red orbs they called eyes.
“Who are you?” I asked them.
Don’t worry; they’re our guards….
“My name’s Joo-Won and this is my brother, Jum. We are your guards and we’re here to escort you to your new home. Please get ready as we are on a time schedule and we must get you to college.”
“College?” I asked him. “Why?”
“We’ll tell you everything in the car.” Jum told me. “Do you have clothes?”
I looked behind me at the f****d up apartment and shook my head. Joo-Won nodded and the two of them moved out of the way for me.
“I’m going to need a passport, ID, birth certificate and many other things.” I told them. “I wasn’t prepared.”
“We have all of that.” Jum told me.
We got to the car and my eyes stared at the beautiful black BMW X7 parked in front of me. Jum unlocked the back door for me and I got in, immediately. Wow, I was stunned. As soon as Jum and Joo-Won got in the car, I needed to ask about the car.
“Is it for me?” I asked him.
“Yes.” Joo-Won replied. “Everything that we are using today is yours.”
“How can a 19 year old, such as myself, have access to these items?”
Jum started the car and turned to look at me.
“You can do anything once you make a deal with the devil, himself.” He told me.
Jum pulled away from the apartments and we headed over to our first location.
***
4 hours later:
I had everything from new clothes to a new phone. A new ID, passport and even a birth certificate.
“How did you guys get this?” I asked, shocked as hell. “Doesn’t it take years?”
‘We have our ways.” Jum sighed.
“When you get to America, we will get you over to the school. You won’t make it until the 3rd period, though.”
We stood in front of an all black jet and I couldn’t believe that belonged to me. Everything was mine and I was excited to see what America was going to be like once I got there. Joo-Won chuckled and patted me on the shoulder.
“School first.” He told me.
“Did HE explain about the girl at the school?” Jum asked.
“That we’ll be dating.” I told him.
“Of course, HE wouldn’t. Well, once you and the girl meet, you will be with her for a good five years. However, you are to take her soul after those five years are up. She is to be your wife in the underworld.”
I looked at him with wide eyes. I was supposed to kill the girl? How was I to do that? I’ve never killed before. Jum looked at me and smiled.
“With Sukuna in you, you will be dealing with enemies that want him dead.”
I’m ready for them…
Just hearing Sukuna’s deep voice within me, put me at some sort of ease. I didn’t fear anything at all. Sighing, I waited for the jet to open up and when it did, I hurried up and got on the flight. I took the first seat and Joo-Won and Jum got on, sitting behind me.
“Do you have a picture of the girl?” I asked them.
I heard some rustling behind me and then, a picture was handed over to me. Once I took the picture and looked at it, Sukuna whistled.
Oh man, I love black goth girls…. They just do it for me…
I smiled and handed the picture back.
You work with me, then I will work with you…
“How about I leave the enemies to you.” I told him.
Fine with me….
Hopefully, he was as strong as the men made him out to be. The flight finally pulled off and I was ready to get to the destination. It was taking a long time and I was very impatient. America was my longest dream ever and I couldn’t wait to touch down over there.
“You’ll be meeting your guards and the people who will be staying with you.” Joo-Won said. “You’ll even meet the bankers who will be in charge of your bank and your funds.”
“I have my own bank?” I asked him.
“Yes and you have people who already have people coming to your bank, too.”
“How much do I have?”
“Billions, close to a trillion.”
“Trillions?”
“Yeah, your businesses are doing excellent in San Francisco, California.”
“Is that where we are headed?”
The two men nodded. I sighed and leaned back in my chair. A woman waitress came over to me and smiled.
“Are you hungry, Sir?” She asked me.
“Do you have a menu?” I asked her.
“Just tell her what you want and she’ll make it. Joo-Won said.
“Nice. Um, can I have a Beef Ramen bowl with tempura shrimp added?”
The woman smiled and bowed before she went to the back.
“Oh man.” I sighed.
“This week we’re going to need to visit your businesses.”
I felt a tap on my shoulder and a folder was given to me.
“While you’re on this jet, you have some papers to fill out. It’s for your businesses. You must get them in before midnight.”
When I grabbed the folder, a groan escaped my lips.
“This is a lot.” I told them. “How am I supposed to get all this done?”
“Sign the first page and the signatures will fill up every page.”
“What is it for?” I asked.
“Rules, contracts and everything else. Your businesses are not allowed to fail.”
I sighed as I looked over the first page and when I touched the edge, the paper stabbed my finger, causing blood to leak onto the paper.
“Shit.” I said. “My finger’s bleeding.”
“Did it leak on the paper?” Jum asked.
“Yeah.”
“That’s all we need.” Joo-Won said as he reached for the folder.
I handed the folder back to them and glanced back at my finger. The papercut that I had, disappeared.
“What the hell?” I asked myself.
It’s my ability…. To heal you, to protect and to keep you alive…
“Hm, I might need you for something else.” I told him.
And what’s that?
“Your voice.” I told him.
For that female? Hm, I think I can do that…
I nodded. A few seconds later, the woman brought a tray with my food on it. She handed it to me and I began to chow down. I moaned from the deliciousness of it. The s**t was so good that I fell in f*****g love, instantly.
“Enjoying yourself?” Jum asked. “Good. We have more things to go over.”
***
Fuck, I had a lot to do, but that’s what happens when you’re a billionaire, right? I sighed, becoming exhausted at that very moment. I was ready to sleep. Slowly closing my eyes, I let my soul leave my body.
When Joo-Won woke me up, the jet had already stopped. I looked at the time and it was 9:45am. I stretched and unbuckle the seatbelt before I got up from the seat. The jet crew opened the door for me and they even let the stairs down. When I got to the door, I looked outside and saw about six more guards outside. All of them had swords, guns and even sunglasses on. When I got closer to them, they bowed to me, standing in a horizontal line.
“He’s to be taken to the school.” Jum told them. “Is his papers and stuff in the school?”
“Yes.” One of the guards answered.
“Good.” Joo-Won replied, then he turned to me. “We will see you after school to take you on a tour.”
“Okay.” I told them.
“Right this way, Sir.” Another guard said as he escorted me over to another black car.
The guard opened the back door for me and I quickly got in. He shut the door for me and then, he hopped in the driver seat. He started the car and pulled away. As he left, the others followed. He drove by many things like tall trees, lots of buildings and even a lot of restaurants. There was plenty of places to go and to have fun at.
Thinking of dates, already?
“What is she looking for exactly?”
An Alpha male. Someone who’s powerful, sexy and dangerous at the same time…. Your original voice doesn’t have that deep bass that she’s looking for…
“Then, will you help me out?”
I’ll give you my voice…
“Sir, here’s your bag and stuff.” The guard in front of me said.
He handed me the bag and I took it.
“There’s nothing in it.” I told him.
“Your books are at the school.”
“Hm, alright.”
He hit a hard left and I turned to the window beside me. The school was very nice. He pulled into the front of the school and parked the car. Then, he got out. He rushed around to my side and as soon as he opened the door, I got out.
“Here’s your schedule.” He told me.
“Thank you.” I told him.
I looked at my schedule and I sighed. Most of this s**t I had known already. Biology, first period. Missed it. Oh well. Second period, History. The Islamic World Concentration class? What the hell? Third period, math. History of Mathematics? Oh my f*****g god, these classes are boring! I looked up at my guard and he just shrugged his shoulders at me.
“Every class you have is with the girl.” He told me.
“Is she an Honor student or something?” I asked.
“She is.”
“No wonder. What’s her name?”
“Rhoyda.”
“Rhoyda, huh? How old is she?”
“18.”
“Hm. Okay.”
“Look for her at the school. Also, I think it’s best if you let Sukuna take over.”
“Wait, what? Why?”
“Because she’s looking for a bad boy type.”
“How do I get him out, then?”
The guard reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace with an ancient coin on it.
“Nobody can see it, but her.” He told me.
“Invisible to the eye, huh?”
He nodded and I sighed as I took the necklace and threw it on around my neck. As soon as the gold touched my skin, I felt that sudden dark energy surpass me completely. I could feel Sukuna take over me.

Sukuna:
I stretched my arms up to the sky and laughed.
“Oh man, it feels good to be free.” I smirked.
“We’ll see you after school.” Ryoko said to me.
“Hold on.”
I walked over to the rearview mirror and checked myself out. Ugh, I hated the clothes that my other side had chosen for me. Shaking my head, I turned back to Ryoko.
“Does he have other clothes in the car?” I asked.
“No.”
“Of course, he doesn’t.”
I decided to do something with the clothes. I fixed my hair up, taking it out of that f*****g bun that joke had me in, then I decided to unbutton the shirt, showing off my abs and chest tattoo. Focused on my eyes, I decided to change the color of them. Brown… Ugh, boring. Gray, I can do that. I felt a slight sting as my eye color changed to the color I wanted.
“Ugh, I could never get use to that.” I said to myself.
“Now, are you ready?” Ryoko asked.
I nodded and looked at him.
“Of course.”
