Demon slayer x male reader

First steps

Shortly after receiving first assignment

(Y/n) was walking the edge of a swamp with the moon just beginning to creep over the horizon

As he walked the soggy shoreline his feet sunk in there mud soaking his socks and his pants

(Y/n):such a bland area. I'll eliminate this demon quickly before my wardrobe begins to match it.

He looked out across the foggy lake and spotted some lights through the mist

His crow landed on his shoulder

Sudachi:there! Yes there! The fisherman village!

(Y/n)'s demeanor became much more serious as he nodded and then suddenly vanished leaving a small gust a wind

At the fishing village it we clear the town wasn't very wealthy and was very poorly lit

(Y/n):*not a very populated area but that'd be an advantage here, not many will hear if something happens to a victim.*

He looked further towards the water and saw the houses get more run down and abandoned

(Y/n):*plenty of places to hide during daylight as well. I can't taste this demon in this disgusting environment either. So that means it's either very weak or very smart for hiding itself in this place.*

He jumped down into an alleyway and stepped out onto the sparsely populated street

(Y/n):*I have to find it before more humans are lost.*

He clenched his fist

(Y/n):*I'll make sure no one else has to lose someone they care about.*

He began walking towards the lone houses by the water passing a middle aged man

Middle aged man:step towards the water and forfeit your life in the process.

(Y/n) stopped abruptly

(Y/n):huh? What was that?

He looked over his shoulder

Middle aged man:that lake is cursed. And every night the curse spreads further from the waters edge.

(Y/n):is that right.

He was about to walk away

Middle aged man:the curse takes someone every night, all that's left is the ear piercing scream they leave.

(Y/n):I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Go home and this will all seem like a bad dream.

He continued walking leaving the man alone on the road

Middle aged man:you'll die like the rest, this village is doomed.

A few minutes later (y/n) was standing in the doorway of the house closest to the lake looking at a large bloodstain

(Y/n):*that blood looms about 3 days old.*

He walked in across the creaking rotten floorboards and ran his finger across the dry blood and licked his finger
