"Huh, where is he?" When I appeared back in the real world, I couldn't see that little devil anywhere. As I was thinking that summoning might have failed, I heard a munching sound from my study table.
Crunch~ Crack~
When I looked over my desk, I saw that the little devil sitting above my desk was munching on my pen, the black ink falling straight on my notes. This almost made me freak out.
"You mf! Get away from there." I roared, lunging at him with anger. These were the notes I made for my client in college, to earn a few extra dollars.
As I jumped at him, he had long vanished from there. When I looked at the notes, they were completely ruined; there was no saving them.
"You!" I looked around for this little devil, and found him in bed, also running with that black ink dripping from his tiny mouth.
This time, I didn't lunge at him, taking a few deep breaths to control my anger. After all, I was no match for his speed, and if I continue like this, I will be risking this entire room on the stakes.
"Okay, listen to me, you little devil… come on, put down that pen on the side," I tried to talk with him, showing him how he put the pen on the side by putting my phone down on the table.
Sure, he did follow suit, copying my action as he placed that broken pen down on the bed. Seeing his obedience, I decided to reward him with a candy that I stole from Emi's room.
Taking off the wrapper, I handed him the candy so he could eat it without the wrapper.
"Here, take it. This tastes better than that pen," I said, offering the candy with a sweet smile. At this moment, I felt like I was raising a pet. He could actually be considered one, because pets and summons shouldn't be much different from each other.
He took the candy from my palm and gave it a lick before he put the entire candy into his tiny mouth like a squirrel.
Crack~ Crack~
His tiny teeth instantly shattered the candy, but I could clearly see a delighted expression on his face. He genuinely loved this candy, as after finishing one, he again turned to me, blinking his tiny black bean-like eyes.
"Chee… Che…" he opened his mouth, and began asking for more in his native language.
"Hey, little guy, I don't have any left. That was the only piece I got." I tried to explain how broke I literally am, and somehow, he got it.
He sat down on the bed in silence and didn't make trouble for me anymore. I gave a glance at the ink-dyed note and threw it away. Now, I don't need to do this stuff anymore. I have the hellfire, I have this super-fast little devil, and if I continue doing these things of the beggars, then what is the use of this system and power?
At this moment of rare silence, I thought about checking this little devil's stats, and when I opened the system to check his stats, I was shocked.
Name: (empty)
Species: Devil
Rank: Mutant
Grade: Awakened
Talent: Undying, Cursed
Skills: Super Speed (lv 20), Razor Fang (lv12), Teleportation (lv1)
"Fucking amazing," I couldn't control my joy after seeing so many high-level skills and his talents. I felt like I had hit the jackpot. But when I checked the details of his talents, my excitement died a bit.
Undying: Extremely resilient to all kinds of spiritual, physical and elemental attacks.
Cursed: Affinity to dark magic and curses.
In a sense, this little guy wasn't actually unkillable, just a bit hard to kill. Overall, he was good, at least, far better than a giant ugly wolf.
"Well, little one, you lack a name. What do you think about me giving you one?" I touched his bright red skin with my hands, finding it quite rough; there were tiny bumps on his head, making his skin a lot rougher than it looked.
"Chee…"
He nodded to my naming arrangement, as his tiny eyes stared at me without blinking.
"Um~ let me think… what will be a good name for you?" Though I had asked him about his name, I didn't have a single good name for him. I thought while playing with his tiny horns, which could also be used as toothpicks.
"Okay, from now on, your name will be Mink." I finally got a decent name for him; it suits him quite well, simple and easy to remember.
"Chee… Che…"
He began jumping on the bed with excitement, his tiny body creating after-images all over the bed, with how fast his speed was.
"Ricky… come out, lunch is ready." At this moment, I heard the mom's call. I didn't know what to do with Mink. I have high doubts that he might cause trouble if I took him outside. So, the only thing I could do was to send him back to Hell.
After all, he was just summoned; the summons should stay in their summoning space. I quickly used some tissues to clear the ink from my desk, while throwing that broken pen into the dustbin, but those marks of ink were still everywhere in the room.
Sigh~
I sighed, just leaving it as it is. Now that I have the system, I won't be staying in this tiny apartment for much longer.
Finally, it was time to go out and meet my family. I didn't know if they would notice the changes in me, or not. But that could only be found after meeting them.
Unfortunately, when I took my seat at the dining table, Emi was already there eating her fill. When she sat down, she gave me the glanced and asked, "Why does your skin look a bit pale?"
"Nah, I don't think so, I just took a cold shower, maybe that's why," I answered while serving myself a very little salad.
