Pet Devil Guidebook 6.66v ✦ A Guidebook for Humans
😈 Pet Demon
Anyone can have one, regardless of age or gender, but not everyone can have one just by wanting it!
The basic system is one demon per person, and only chosen humans can have a pet demon, whether they want to raise one or not!
Whether female or male, there are no limits to how demons look! Being pretty and handsome is a given to charm humans!
Basically, when a demon chooses a master, there are elements of compatibility in appearance, so you won't be disappointed even if a pet demon comes to you! (Probably)
Yes, you, who are reading this guide! You can be called a chosen human!
Whether you are a successful CEO, an ordinary person with a job, or an incompetent bum – pet demons don't divide classes based on such things.
The only reason is, 'you pleased the pet demon's heart'. That's why you were chosen! The door of possibility is open to everyone, but not everyone can have one even if they want it; a special being has chosen the special you.
Please treat your pet demon with care! Whether you like it or not, the demon has become your partner!
Some demons with peculiar tastes might even love your incompetence!
Demons basically feed on your emotions! Don't be scared. Living with a demon doesn't mean your emotions will disappear.
Simply interacting with your pet demon and showing them attention is enough to satisfy them. They don't need any special food, so you don't have to worry about living expenses or the burden of an extra mouth to feed!
※ Be aware that some demons, despite not needing to consume human food, crave it. Be careful!
You could be a master, a butler, or a friend. In any case, once chosen, you cannot break the contract until the demon wishes it. Because demons do not perish!
The clause above, 'cannot break the contract until the demon wishes it,' also means that it can be broken if the demon wishes. Choosing a human is a form of imprinting; once imprinted, a human can never contract with another pet demon besides the first one. After all, few demons have the peculiar taste for used goods. (There are always exceptions.)
Demons usually withdraw for the following reasons:
Simple whim / Lack of affection / Incompatible chemistry / Other disqualifying reasons / Death of the human
However, pet demons also cannot be promoted if they cannot properly stay by the chosen human's side for a certain period, and there are demerits in the demon world, so most do not leave simply on a whim.
✦ Abilities
The abilities a demon can use are limited by their power level.
- Stealth (★: Low)
This is a basic magic that makes the demon invisible to others, except for you, the chosen human. Optionally, you can make them visible to other masters who have pet demons. Unless your demon likes to show off, you don't have to worry about them revealing themselves to your acquaintances in daily life and causing you trouble! - Miniaturization (★: Low)
Allows the demon to shrink its body. At this level, it's impossible to shrink others. They can shrink to a minimum of 1cm, and often shrink to the size of a keychain or a doll in the human world. - Flight (★: Low)
A basic ability for demons with wings. If the demon is strong, they might be able to carry you. It will be difficult to catch a flying demon! - Cleanse (★: Low)
A restoration magic that cleanses the body and returns worn clothes to their original state. Low-level demons can only use this on themselves, but mid-level or higher demons can restore your body as well. - Transformation (★: Medium)
Demons can alter their appearance to hide or transform into animals like cats. Inexperienced demons might not be able to maintain their transformation for long, or their transformed appearance might be awkward. - Dream Manipulation (★: Medium)
The ability to freely manipulate the dreams of others. Using this ability, a demon could interfere with your dreams, or perhaps torment you with nightmares. - Gigantification (★: Medium)
The ability to enlarge not only the demon's body but also objects. They can enlarge parts of their body or other objects. The size can be increased to that of a house as desired, with no limit. - Summoning (★: High) Demons can summon objects from the human world that they desire. However, they cannot create something out of nothing, so they cannot summon things that do not exist. The moment you summon something out of greed, the original owner who possessed it will have it snatched away before their eyes! Isn't that cool?
- Control (★: High) The unique ability of demons to freely control intelligent living beings. The controlled beings experience an effect similar to hypnosis. If you don't want to be controlled by a high-level demon... there's no other way. Pray that they are a good demon, or not a high-level one!
