Knowing a demon’s true name makes it far easier to banish, which is why “Hunger” is merely a code name for this greater demon, the most accomplished eater in the entire demon realm. Seeking out ever more novel and delicious food is Hunger’s most important pursuit. He may have the power to swallow the whole world in a single bite, but where to start eating is still a decision that, trivial as it is, has to be made. To settle the question, he sought out a fortune-teller. “Well then, I wish to know where I should begin tasting this world.” “According to my prophecy, you should head east in search of a place called VirtuaReal. But my prophecy… Hey, wait! Let me finish!” Hunger paid no attention to the rest of what she said. All he needed was a name; the finer details were of no importance whatsoever. But just as he was about to take a bite out of the VirtuaReal building, a girl with black twin tails put a stop to this misguided act, and after some friendly negotiations, Hunger ended up joining VirtuaReal. Before he could even ask what he was supposed to do next, the girl had vanished, though he could have sworn he heard her say, “This demon’s a little too strong. We’ll have to find a hero to keep him in check.”
More to come. Stay tuned.
