Texas, America, is one of the birthplaces of cowboy culture, with developed agriculture and a pleasant climate.
It is also a state with a tough populace; Texas not only allows guns but is also one of the easiest states to obtain a gun permit.
The people here enjoy thrills, such as crazy motorcycle stunts, and Johnny Blaze is a rising star in this field.
On a TV in a roadside fast-food restaurant, Johnny Blaze was seen riding a dirt bike, flying over cliffs and through a sea of fire. The thrilling scenes made the audience scream, and he himself received a lot of money and flowers.
Ailer sat near the counter. When the stunt show ended, he averted his gaze.
"Sir, your meal is ready." A waitress, dressed in a yellow uniform with a red apron tied around her waist, brought Ailer his tray. She set the tray down and took the opportunity to steal a glance at Ailer.
"Thank you." Ailer looked at the fries, hamburger, and coke on the plate, then asked the waitress:
"Is that motorcyclist very famous here?"
As he spoke, Ailer pointed to the TV.
On the TV, Johnny was being interviewed by the media, looking triumphant.
"Sir, are you talking about Johnny Blaze? He's the hottest motorcyclist in Texas these past few years." The waitress wiped her hands with her apron, then satisfied Ailer's curiosity:
"No matter what stunts he performs, no accidents happen. He can survive any situation; he's practically immortal. His performances are continuous, and he's now the hottest stunt rider in all of Texas. He might even make it to Hollywood."
He can go far beyond just Hollywood… Ailer thought to himself.
Johnny Blaze, also known as the legendary Ghost Rider, signed a contract with Mephisto when he was young to save his loved ones.
Mephisto cured Johnny's loved one's cancer, and in return, Johnny would serve Mephisto on a future day.
Afterward, it was true that Mephisto cured Johnny's loved one's cancer, but Johnny's loved one still died in an accident.
Mephisto tricked Johnny out of his soul with a life that was destined to die.
Poor Johnny Blaze could not escape Mephisto's control, and before the contract took effect, Johnny would not die from anything.
Even if he fell from a speeding motorcycle, Johnny would only feel pain for a while.
When the contract takes effect, Johnny will transform into an existence beyond common sense.
"That's a really cool stunt. So, where can I see his performance?" Ailer, dressed as a tourist, asked the waitress curiously.
"Oh, I'll tell you…" The waitress told Ailer the performance venue where Johnny Blaze would appear. He seemed to have signed a contract there to perform for several years.
After noting down the address, Ailer nodded, then responded to the waitress with a smile, "Thanks. Oh, by the way, can I stay overnight here?"
"The outside area can be used for rest, and the restrooms are available, but there will be no service after midnight," the waitress replied.
"Okay." After replying, Ailer looked out the window.
By then, it was very late. Nighttime Texas was very quiet, and this fast-food restaurant, located by the highway, was the only light nearby.
Although he could continue traveling at night, Ailer wanted to stay.
"When will he finally arrive?" Ailer murmured, looking at the faintly glowing ring on his hand.
Ever since he entered this restaurant, the ring given by Sorcerer Ancient One had started to glow, though at first, the light was very faint, only growing stronger now.
This meant there was at least one demon nearby for the ring to react this way.
According to Sorcerer Ancient One, there are still a very small number of demons on Earth. They occasionally absorb a criminal's soul to sustain themselves.
These fellows are much more restrained compared to the demons of ancient times, when powerful demons could even pretend to be gods and openly accept human worship.
Compared to ancient times, the demons who still dare to remain on Earth are much more restrained now.
Only demons with cautious personalities, strong self-restraint, and who choose to absorb the souls of dying humans can remain on Earth.
According to Sorcerer Ancient One, these fellows have some skill, and she also needs these almost 'tamed' demons as examples to tell other demons that as long as she is here, you demons can only act with your tails between your legs.
Since the other party hadn't arrived yet, Ailer was not in a hurry to act. He closed his eyes slightly and then leaned back in his chair to meditate.
As the clock struck midnight, a figure walked in. He was breathing heavily, his gaze greedy, and he stared intently at the waitress who was wiping the counter.
The waitress noticed him then. She looked up and instinctively said, "Sir, we're closed. If you need a place to rest, just find a spot anywhere here."
"Hiss, ha." A greedy glint shot from the man's eyes. His gaze was unsettling. He pointed at the waitress and said very slowly: "What I want is you!"
"Sir, please don't joke, okay?" The waitress felt very uncomfortable under his gaze.
Screech—
The previously bright light bulb suddenly malfunctioned, and the entire fast-food restaurant plunged into darkness.
"Ah! Don't come any closer!" The already frightened waitress let out a scream. The figure suddenly lunged, but at that moment, another person's speed was even faster than his.
'Bang'
A lightning-fast kick sent the guy flying. Ailer, who had been guarding against the appearance of this 'demon', came behind the waitress after kicking the opponent away and struck her unconscious with a hand chop, ensuring she would forget everything she saw.
After doing all this, Ailer then looked at the guy who had been kicked away. In the dim light, the guy was adopting the posture of a Beast, looking for an opportunity to attack.
"So it's a Vampire Demon, no wonder it has such a strong predatory Desire." Ailer said, looking at the 'Vampire Demon' in front of him, who could no longer endure its hunger.
While normal Vampires are creatures of darkness, they are native to 'Earth'.
However, the Vampire in front of Ailer had demonic power within it, likely an experiment of some individuals.
"It seems those guys are also looking for ways to circumvent Sorcerer Supreme." Ailer took out his Desire Driver from his dimensional pocket. He fastened the Driver to his waist, then stared at the Vampire Demon and said:
"HenShin."

Black battle armor appeared on his body, a White fox mask was donned, and a White scarf slowly draped down.
Ailer stepped over the counter and slowly walked towards the Vampire Demon, "Let me see what this thing of yours can do."
