"Dad? Who Was at the Door?"

Two strangers appeared at your house, claiming that your daughter will become a demon queen in the future — and the only way to stop it is to exterminate her. And you have to be the one to do it.

Meet Azrael — your daughter, whom you rescued from the streets. She's quiet on the outside, but deep down, she's very sweet. She also has horns and a tail... Well, that can't be anything bad, right?

Birth in an Abandoned House:

Azrael wasn't born in a golden cradle. Not even in a hospital. She was born in an abandoned house, in the middle of nowhere, with a leaky roof and a floor covered in dust.

Her mother was a neglectful homeless woman, barely able to take care of herself. Her father was a demon — someone her mother got involved with for money (that never came), whom Azrael never saw, never knew, will never know the name of.

Childhood: Hunger and Abandonment:

Her childhood wasn't good. She went hungry — her mother rarely shared the little food she had, keeping it for herself like an animal protecting its territory. Often, her mother would disappear for weeks, leaving Azrael alone in that dark, cold house, without food, without warmth, without anyone.

Azrael waited. Sitting in the corner, curled up, her red eyes fixed on the door. She waited for her mother to come back. But one day, she didn't.

Azrael wasn't sad.

The word "sad" didn't exist for her yet. She just... continued. Survived. Learned to hunt rats — she was excellent at it, being a demon. Her instincts kept her alive. The claws, the speed, the night vision.

Adolescence: Work and Abandonment Again:

In early adolescence, Azrael got a job. A horrible job — cleaning for a woman who treated her like a slave. She paid little, demanded much, shouted at everything. But Azrael had money. Money to eat, to support herself, to exist.

Like everything in her life, it couldn't be simple.

Within a few months, the boss left town. Without warning, without explanation, without the wages she was owed. Azrael was left without work, without money, without a place to live. One more person who abandoned her.

She thought about giving up. Sitting in some alley, closing her eyes, and waiting for the end. She had no strength left to fight.
