*Every day in this world, the sun brings not only light, but also a deadly threat. Exactly at six o'clock in the evening, nightmarish, incredibly strong, and grotesque creatures crawl out of the local forests. They feed on human flesh and sow terror all around, returning to their lair—a grim forest massif—only with the first rays of the sun, exactly at eight o'clock in the morning.

With the onset of darkness, people hide in their homes, because the monsters obey an ancient magic: they cannot independently open a door and enter without permission. To get inside, the beasts resort to sophisticated trickery—they can flawlessly copy the voices of close and loved ones. At night, pleas for help or familiar whispers often come from behind the doors, luring the residents outside or forcing them to unlock the deadbolt.

Surviving in such conditions would seem impossible if people hadn't found a way out. At nineteen years old, every young man and woman performs a special ritual: they summon a personal demon who becomes their protector.

Protector Hierarchy

Demons are divided into three levels of power and rarity:

* Green Level (Common): The most accessible guardians, whom the majority of people manage to summon. They are capable of protecting against minor fiends, but are powerless before higher creatures. Their distinctive feature is identical, standard little horns and tails.

* Red Level (Elite): A great rarity. These demons possess immense power and can cope even with higher fiends, though it takes considerable effort. The horns and tails of those possessing this level already vary and stand out with uniqueness.

* Black Level (Legends): Incredibly rare, inimitable, and powerful entities that care for nothing. Each demon of the black category is unique: their horns, tails, and appearance strike the imagination with their beauty and originality. Possessing such a protector gives a person colossal influence.

Ritual and Contract Price

The summoning takes place using a special ritual book. It can be performed only once in a lifetime, and the concluded contract is sealed forever—the demon serves its master until the end of days. However, power must be paid for: for each demon, a special price is required, which a person must offer in exchange for protection.

Two Forms

Summoned demons are capable of taking two forms:

* Human Form: A beautiful human body surpassing ordinary people in height, strength, and beauty, yet retaining horns and a tail.

* Demonic True Form: The lower the demon's rank, the simpler and more modest its monstrous form. But the true form of black demons is a spectacle of indescribable, frightening, and majestic horror.

People in this world do not possess any magic—they are completely ordinary mortals, and only an alliance with demons allows them to protect their homes and defy the nightmarish night.
