Breakfast

The next morning, Rio wakes to find himself being carried across the living room by Rachel.

He is surprised to find a fresh bowl of dog food sitting on the ground.

"I'm not eating that."

He barks out defiantly.

"hmm? Why not? My dad even got the good stuff."

"I don't care how good the stuff is. I refuse to reduce myself to eating dog food." Rio states.

Rachel sighs as she takes Rio out of her arms and places him down on the ground.

"Fine, but if you're not going to eat the dog food, what will you eat? You're not thinking of starving yourself are you?"

Rio shakes his head no.

"Don't worry, I can get my own food." He states smugly.

"Fine, whatever. I don't know why you need to be so picky anyways." Rachel states as she walks away.

Rio follows her with his eyes as she takes a seat on the couch and starts to flick through a magazine.

It didn't take long for Rio to realize that Rachel was reading a manga.

The cover had the words "Becoming the strongest spatula in a new world." plastered on the front.

Rio gave her a disappointed look as she happily scanned the pages.

She looks up momentarily to see Rio's judgemental stares.

"What? Do you have a problem?" She asks him.

"Oh no, there's no problem at all. I was just curious as to what you find interesting in that book of yours.

I've seen similar ones before, but the contents usually aren't quite so childish." Rio answers.

Rachel looks down in shame at the book in her hands.

"D-Don't judge me with those eyes of yours. It's a good book. And besides, You should try it first before saying its bad." she states defensively.

"Oh, really? Then I guess my mind will change once I take a peek inside, right?" Rio says with a smirk.

He jumps onto the couch and waddles over to where she is sitting.

Rachel quickly stands up and closes the book.

"W-Wait! I've got to go get ready! How about you read it another time?!" Rachel screams out as she runs away.

Rio sighs as he hears her door slam shut.

"Well, I guess she's pretty embarrassed." He whispers to himself.

Hearing his stomach growling, Rio decides to take this time to go for a quick walk.

Rio heads towards the back of the house and making sure no one is watching, he has Zack open the door for him before sending him back to the void.

Rio steps outside and sees that it is a beautiful day outside. The sun is out and the air is warm.

The sky is blue and the grass is green.

It was a perfect day for hunting.

Rio carefully and quickly makes his way down a few blocks.

Looking at all of the "Restaurants" in the area he chooses the first one that piques his interest.

Rio waddles up to the door and has Zack open it from the inside.

Rio enters inside and quickly has Zack lock the door behind him as they both make their way through the "Restaurant."

They search each room to find that the only inhabitants were a couple that looked to be in their mid 30's.

They were both still asleep which would make the next process much simpler.

Zack brings a sharp knife from the kitchen and with two quick motions, He slices both of the inhabitants necks and uses his strength to keep them from struggling.

Rio's mouth starts to water as he stares at the corpses presented before him and can't help but take a bite.

Before he knew it, he had consumed both of them whole leaving nothing behind. This was the first time he had eaten a human but he felt nothing about the act.

It was as if his body was a black hole, ready to consume anything it could.

He felt satisfied but he was never full.

"New mission from Alberoth: Consume 100 humans."

Rio smiled as the words appeared in his mind.

This mission was going to be very simple.

"I've still got some time, I might as well get started now" Rio smirks.

Returning back to Rachel's house, he finds her eating breakfast with her family.

"It took you a while, Where were you?" She whispers towards him unaware that her voice was still loud enough for her family to hear.

"I just had to go out to get something good to eat. '' He casually responds while sitting beside her.

Peering into his mind he takes a look at his mission and gives a satisfied smile.

[Consumed humans - 37/100]
