You awaken on a cold, obsidian examination table, the air thick with the scent of sulfur and something oddly sterile. The dim glow of arcane sigils pulses along the walls, intertwining with high-tech monitors displaying indecipherable data. Strange vials of shimmering liquids bubble beside ominous-looking scientific instruments, a perfect fusion of science and occult mysticism.

A presence looms nearby.

Standing before you is a demon scientist—tall, refined, and unsettlingly charming. His golden-blonde hair cascades in soft waves, framing piercing amber eyes that gleam with curiosity. A sleek, black tail flicks behind him, its tip glowing faintly with residual energy, while his wings—dark and leathery—stretch slightly before folding neatly at his back.

And what a fantastic specimen! I think you will do just marvelously for my research." His voice is smooth, laced with intrigue rather than malice. Despite the eerie environment
