The attracted attraction park
A fucking proper amusement park of the size of nirvana was in the middle of the Demon Lord's castle, fully functioning. That was not even all. Looking above him was a perfect sky! It was a sunny day.
What kind of fuckery was that? But Eric didn't have time to think about it anymore because for some theatrical reason his four students decided to run after him with maddened looks as if they finally figured out how delicious Eric was and wanted to have a big taste of him!
Eric had no idea what kind of evil secret the amusement park harboured but there must be one right? Right? However, choosing between the unknown danger in front of him and the sanity sucking tornado behind him, Eric decided to jump straight into the overly suspicious park.
With a loud bang, the door closed behind him and Eric ran through the obviously empty park that for whatever- for the evolution of his life- reason magically had their attraction function without anyone operating it or using it!
G-Ghosts? Could there be ghosts? Wait, this was the Demon World and not a ghost or fucking underworld! Right, this should be some kind of power. That was the only way Eric could explain it. However, once Eric stopped further away from the entrance into the ghostly terrifying amusement park, suddenly with a loud snap echoing across the park, the sunlight disappeared and the night came.
"I believe my eyes didn't just witness that," Eric indeed covered his eyes before counting to three and opened them again only to have his superfluous hope crushed to infinite powder and scattered across the attractions that seemed to go wild.
Ever since he came to the other Demon World and experienced all those usually-not-really-absolutely-not normal phenomenons, Eric started to act less and less like his dignified self and more and more like a child.
The fact that someone obviously tempered with the park and Eric's mind, causing everything to plunge into darkness and truly resemble a ghost paradise, made Eric's hairs stand up on his inanely smooth porcelain skin and drilled into him the thought of turning back and run, but the footsteps behind him, only ushered him further into his demise.
Eric gripped his clothes and quickly ran without looking back. He ran and ran until he couldn't hear anything anymore and only then did he stop, daring to look behind him. Eric caught his breath and saw no one but the eerie attractions moving on their own and giving off haunting noises.
"Damn it," Eric cursed. Did he find himself in a damn B-rated horror movie? Was that it? Was he going to become a damn victim?
Luckily, it wasn't Lyna's fucked up story about Slasherman coming to gorily murder him.
R-Right? Eric cautiously glanced behind and let out a sigh of relief when indeed there was no crazy murderer leeching after his blood.
Phew. Eric panicked for a second thinking about whether this was going to change genre. Of course not because Eric was scared.
But the longer Eric remained in this place all alone, the more vicious goosebumps broke out on his skin so Eric quickly came to the conclusion of making it back to the entrance and leave this damned castle once and for all.
The four unruly, maniac sons of some useless students must be somewhere far away from him, thus they wouldn't spot Eric sneaking away.
With newfound vigour in his buttery legs, Eric quickly retracted his steps back but to his horror—he was lost! No that wasn't it. It seemed like the park was constantly changing and trying to lure him away from the entrance deeper into its core. Eric has suspected this for a while but c-could it be?
The park had a conscious of its own? Eric quickly shook his head while slowly prying his way forward. Calm. Eric needed to be calm. Eric was always rational and no matter what he did, he gave off an elegant view.
So, Eric's nerves were pumped full with glistering sweat disguised as arrogance and he strolled through the park as if nothing could faze him, as if he owned this park.
Then to further convince himself and perfect his act, Eric's angelic smile was plastered on his face. Eric didn't know it but it looked incredibly fake and forced. If one didn't know better, it was Eric who was a psychopath controlling the roller coaster to dash at 180km/h and the merry-go-round to twirl at a 200km/h speed!
It truly looked like Eric was the bloody murderer looking for a victim to test his park on. Yet, Eric almost pissed himself in the pants.

Meanwhile, after the door banged shut. The four princes gathered at the entrance and looked around.
"You damn greasy bastard! It's all your fault that that stupid human ran away! Now we gotta waste our time to go looking for him!" Nol scowled.
It was his perfect opportunity to threaten that puny dung of a human teacher and Nol would roll in all the credits.
Just like good ol' group work. Nol's thought process was simple-minded. Since Eric was the best editor naturally it equalled to being the best author. Nol was really simple-minded.
"How is this my fault? Dear beloved elder brother, I feel always wronged by you," although Lav said those words, his smile caused Nol to misunderstand him again and think Lav was hatching some kind of evil plan.
"Stop with that disgusting dear elder beloved brother whatever shit!" Nol mimicked Lav and crossed his arms.
Suddenly, SNAP.
The sunlight disappeared and night flooded the park.
"Oh no," Lav looked around, "This is not good. At night the attractions go out of control. We should hurry to find teacher."
"Yes! We gotta split up!" Fil roared while Van just annoyed looked at the door.
"No," Nol narrowed his eyes, "We stick together," but before his words faded into the air, Fil already stomped away excites.
"What a bother," even Van left and disappeared into the park.
"I hope they know it's dangerous for a human to be at the park at night," out of everyone Lav was the only one who was sincerely worried for Eric while the other had the same thought as Nol. That was to exploit Eric!
So, this was a race to the top of the lazy mountain. Whoever captured the human first and twisted him here and there to make him obedient will become successful! Nol gritted his teeth. He never thought that his brothers became competitors like this!
Nol glanced at Lav before he hmpfed and strode away, "I won't stay here with a greasy bastard."
Then Nol also disappeared only leaving Lav sighing at the entrance.
Lav looked at the moon and also made the first step. Lav didn't want to use such underhanded methods, he sincerely wanted to learn and study under Eric, so Lav's objective was different from his brothers.
He had to save Eric from the park and his brothers. Or maybe... Lav's lips curved into a handsome yet dubious smile... he did want something else from Eric?
