Reader's POV

"What demons are?"

"Aren't they just those kind of monsters?"

"They can't maintain their shape and form unless they eat humans.
They're monsters that don't have shapes,"
Norman said, my eyes widened slightly.

"No one knows what they looked like at first.
Probably something similar to bacteria. Bacteria mostly multiply by binary fission.
 They don't change. They just increase as clones. 
Then how did such bacteria change and evolve?
The answer was in spontaneous mutation and horizontal transmission."

"The horizontal transmission of a gene... absorbs the genes of other organisms (sometimes transcending species).
Their evolution was similar to that. They evolve by eating. They absorb the genes of what they eat... and inherit the genes' characteristics."

"If they eat a bug, they turn into something resembling a bug.
If they eat fish, they turn into something resembling a fish. By repeating that, they obtained various characteristics... And evolved into various shapes."

"And they eventually ate humans. By doing so, they acquired the form, high intelligence... language and culture of humans.
Humans became their favorite food. And they rapidly surpassed humans. Became humans' natural enemies.
Humans feared them. An overpowering existence that evolved at astounding speed. And called them by various names-- demons, monsters, devils, gods."

"But they were also just creatures. And their characteristics weren't exactly beneficial.
There are individual differences... and it's not like they return to their original form...
but they cannot maintain their characteristics unless they keep eating."

"The reason they eat humans... is because unless they do, they can't keep their form or intelligence.
After discovering and desiring human taste, intelligence and form... they continued eating humans. Even after the formation of the promise. That's the real nature of demons."
Norman told us.

"They eat to evolve?"
"Just from eating?"
"And for that... they eat humans"

"That's why there are so many different forms and shapes,"
Nat muttered.

"And that's why they raise us... by creating farms,"
Nigel said.

I took a deep breath, everything had started to get blurry again. 
I leaned against the wall, and everything faded.

I could still hear everyone talking, my eyes just weren't opening for some reason.

Then...I could see.
But I was back at... I had no idea.
