Deranged Writer's Afterword

As I'm lying down on the bed waiting for Patrick to arrive with the items, I think back to the conversation I had with Archdemon Bal earlier today.

~~~~

''I need two things.... a pair of high ranked Ascaris and an artifact that's lo-''

Before I can complete speaking, Bal interjects by saying,

'' Impossible. Ascaris have gone extinct, I don't know how you know about their existence but other than a few that already have contractors, none exist.''

'' You seem to have plenty of them for making spies.'', I look at the receptionist when I say this.

'' I told you already they're contracted and the only way to own them would be to kill their masters.''

Ascaris were organisms that existed on the demon's home planet, they were parasitic in nature, when they find a suitable host... they enter the host through any viable openings and situate themselves in the host's brain. From there, they completely take control of the host and become the host in a sense. The most frightening aspect about them was that when they took over a body, all the memories and powers of the host get transferred to them, this makes them be able to trick people into thinking that they were the same person.

When the demon folk found out about the existence of the Ascaris, they first ordered a 'kill on sight' rule for them as they were disgusted by how the Ascaris survived. But this changed when they understood that they could be tamed. Demons started to weaponize the Ascaris. As a result, chaos ensued as enemies made use of Ascaris to fight against each other, seeing the chaos the demon king banned the taming of Ascaris and started hunting every Ascaris insight.

Finally, after almost a year of hunting Ascaris, the demon king declared them extinct. But the truth was that the demon king had left out some Ascaris and took them in his care and bred them, they were like his pets. He made use of them when the need arose, like for planting spies among enemy ranks. Patrick was an Ascaris, he had originally been a human but an Ascaris was forced into his system effectively killing the 'real' Patrick. That was the reason why none of the spies had horns because they weren't demons, but Ascaris.

The Ascaris only had a single weakness, it was soda. Something inside the soda killed the Ascaris. The demon king didn't know this when he first planted spies so he lost a considerable amount of Ascaris due to this. When the Ascaris dies, the host dies as well so there were no large issues.

The only people who knew about the existence of the Ascaris among the demons were the four generals and the demon king. The rest thought that the entire species was extinct.

'' What about the ones in the demon king's collection ?''

When he hears my question, Bal appears shocked once again,

'' How do you even know about that ?"

'' I have my sources. Tell the demon king that if he wants his granddaughter back, he's going to have to make a dent in his collection.''

Bal grits his teeth but doesn't say anything more.

'' Make sure to give me a pair above S rank, the second thing I want is an artifact that's hidden in the 'Langar' region. It's near......''

After explaining where exactly the artifact was, I also added.

'' Make sure to send very strong people after it.''

'' I'll go myself, I won't even ask you how you know this since you're not going to tell me either way.''

I smile at his words.

'' I don't have to say this but if the artifact is tampered with in any way then the deal's off.''

'' Alright.''

I turn around to leave but before I can Bal says in a low voice,

'' I don't know who you are, I don't care... but if you don't keep your end of the deal, I'll kill you and everyone you love.''

Goosebumps rise on my skin but I ignore my fear and say,

'' Be my guest.''

~~~~~

I feel a 'thud' coming from my window, I get up from the bed and head over to the window to find Patrick standing outside my window, it's a good thing my room was on the first floor, otherwise smuggling Patrick inside would have been difficult.

Before opening the window, I make sure to lock the door to my room.

I slide the window open, a ' creak' sound follows me as I open the window and Patrick jumps in, in his hands were two jars. After getting inside he takes a look around my room and without saying a word he walks towards the desk in my room and places the two jars that were covered with a cotton cloth on the desk.

After doing this, he removes the cloth surrounding the two jars and the contents of the jars are revealed.

A small round object was suspended in water, it was red and squirming around indicating that the object was a living organism. After unveiling the jars Patrick turns toward me and says,

'' They're both SS class, the demon king personally chose this for you. They're the best in his collection.''

'' I'm grateful.'', I say.

As expected the demon king relented to my wishes if I don't fulfill my end of the deal, which was to bring the princess to them then I was as good as dead. I was given the time limit of six months to keep my end of the deal, It would be hard but it wasn't entirely impossible. I had already started planning on how exactly I would save her.

Enrolling in the Unity was a good idea, it made the whole breaking out the princess thing much easier.

Patrick takes out a bunch of papers from his pockets,

'' This is their contract, after you complete it you will officially become their master.''

He pushes the paper towards me,

Taking the contract in my hand, I ask him,

'' Should I just use a pen to sign the-''

But before I can even complete my sentence, Patrick takes out a pin from his pocket and pokes my thump with it.

'' Oww !''

I glare at him.

A smile breaks out on his face and he says,

'' Stamp it with your blood.''

Che. Damn Parasite.

I use the blood flowing down from my thumb to stamp the contracts, before stamping them, I read the contents of the contract thoroughly. Everything seemed to be in order.

As soon as I stamp the contract with my blood, the contract turn's to ashes and enters my nostrils. I almost feel like sneezing but I hold it in. I should have just made them glow or something but I thought this method would be more unique when I was writing the novel.

I feel a connection to the two Ascaris on my table, it almost felt like they were communicating with me. But it could just be my imagination as well.

'' Do you feel the connection ?''

I nod my head at Patrick's question.

Patrick stares at me for a full minute before saying quietly,

'' Treat them with care... they're my younger siblings.''

I'm not surprised, almost all the Ascaris are related to each other in some way.

'' I see.. these blob- I mean Ascaris are your siblings, I'll treat them well.''

He frowns a little but doesn't say anything else.

'' Where's the second item ?''

'' The artifact will require a little more time to procure.''

'' That's alright then.''

'' Remember human, if you don't keep up your end of the deal within the given period, you along with your entire family will be killed-''

I cut him off and say,'' sure, sure.''

I take both the jars and place them in the drawer on my desk.

'' I'll take my leave-''

' Thud' 'Thud'

Both Patrick and I become startled as someone knocks on the door to my room.

Shit. Shit. Shit. Quadruple Shit

I needed Patrick out now, but if I open the window then whoever was knocking would hear the window sliding open.

Damn it. I can't be found out this soon...

Unlike me who was panicking, Patrick looked calm.

He starts unbuttoning his shirt-

What!

Why the fuck is he undressing?

I wanted to shout, ' WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU UNDRESSING ?', but I can't can I?

Instead, I try to ask him with my eyes, seeing the look on my face Patrick smiles and shows a thumbs up.

What. the. fuck.

Instead, he continues to undress until the only thing he was wearing was his underwear... wait.... were those panties?

But I couldn't even process the shock of him wearing panties as at the next moment, something even more shocking happens.

He starts transforming.... into a girl.

His[her ?] breasts start getting bigger and his[ her?] body becomes curvier...

He walks over to me and removes my shirt, while doing so her[his?] breasts slightly graze my skin.

....

....

....

I feel a bulge growing in my pants...

he [ she ?] then walks over to the bed and lies down and signals me with his [ her ?] hands.

Does he want me to open the door?

I have no clue as to what exactly was happening but I decide to do as he said and opens the door,

I look at the digital clock in my room to find that it was currently 12:20 am.

I find Geoffrey at the door,

'' Young master, are you alright ?.. I could hear sounds coming from your roo-''

Geoffrey stops talking as his eyes fall on female Patrick.

'' Oh.'', he meekly whispers.

Female Patrick winks at Geoffrey.

Geoffrey blushes slightly.

'' As you can see, I'm a little busy now, Geoffrey.''

'' I'm sorry...young master. '', saying this Geoffrey closes the door.

I press my ears against the door and hear his hurried footsteps.

'Sigh..', he left.

I turn around to face female Patrick who had already gotten up and was getting dressed.

'' What was that ?'', I ask him

'' It's a skill called,' Gender swap'. The only downside is that I can't change back for twenty-four hours.''

Ah.. it was a skill... that makes sense.

In the novel, Patrick was just a minor character that was mentioned in passing so his abilities and skills weren't mentioned.

Who would have thought he had such a skill?

I didn't even know a skill like this existed, which was surprising because I had created this world.

'' I'll leave now.''

Before turning around, Patrick smirks at the bulge in my pants.

'' Wait,'' I call out to him.

'' What is it ?'', he asks with one leg outside the window.

'' Do you still have the skill book of this skill ?''
