Prologue & Chapter 1 : The Beginning Of A Demonic Adventure

Prologue

   Long ago, in the World of Darkness, there were only humans. Most of humans were filled with arrogance, hatred, and ignorance. But then, a portal to a universe filled with monsters and creatures was opened. It was a punishment for the humans, and the war between monsters and humans, had begun.

Centuries later on earth, there was a Teen named Kazuki Nizeru. He lives in an apartment in Japan, Osaka and he is still 15 years old. His grades aren’t very great in his school. But, he doesn’t care at all about his grades. He likes to go to the gym to train his body. He likes sports, especially football. He also likes reading manga.

In his school, there is a girl named Akane Kirayami. She is the most popular girl in his school, she is always cheerful and also beautiful. Kazuki liked her.

One day, when Kazuki was playing football, he saw Akane watching the match. He wanted to show off, so he kicked the ball so hard that it flew out of the field. Kazuki found it on a railway, (But he didn’t notice it was a railway) then he picked it up and when he looked it front of him “Watch out!” Screamed Akane, he saw a bullet train. At that moment, Kazuki knew that he couldn’t run and he would die. So he closed his eyes. But, when he was in the brink of death, he heard a voice calling him and saying “Live.”

Then, Kazuki waked up in a place he doesn’t know. He looked around and all he saw was rumbles of houses in a forest. “Where am I? Shouldn’t I be dead?” he said to himself. He looked at his hands, they were different. He also looked at his clothes, he was wearing some kind of armor. And he could speak and understand a language he doesn’t know yet. He instantly realized that he was in Another World.

Chapter 1 : The Beginning Of A Demonic Adventure

He got up and saw a big fire from the other side of the forest. He walked and saw big monsters with horns, burning, and destroying a village. Then, someone called his name, “Rathomir!” Kazuki wanted to throw up because he had headaches hearing that name. He saw a vague flashback of a boy, but he heard a name, and it was “Rathomir Homura”. He guessed it was the name of the man he is possessing as in this world. He approached the man who called his name. The man was stuck in one of the broken houses. He helped the man get out, he was badly injured.

“Rathomir… I think I’m going to die soon. So take this sword, it’s not great, but at least it can cut something.” said the injured man.

“Thank you, I will use it to save the people in village” said Kazuki. Kazuki left the injured man there and goes to the

village.

Kazuki climbs a tree and sees the monsters gathering at one house, “Hmmm… They seem to be taking something tiny and… sharp?” said Kazuki to himself. Kazuki knew it had to be something special, but he can’t take the risk to take the box. The captain ordered the weak monsters to stay at the village until tomorrow and take hostage of the remaining villagers if, a small army from the kingdom comes. If not, kill them by afternoon. So he waited for some of the monsters to go. After that, Kazuki only sees six monsters in the village. Three guarding the house that the hostages are in, two other at the campfire, and one resting in a house. He first approached the one resting, he jumped into the window. He grabs his sword, but he looked at the monster, it was like a demon. “How could a demon be in a place like earth? Eh... now it’s not the time to think about that.” said Kazuki to himself.

He brings his sword closer to the demon’s neck, and cuts it. The demon screamed like hell when Kazuki tried to cut the neck, He put all of Rathomir’s power so he can cut it and make the demon die. But, the strength of Rathomir’s body wasn’t like Kazuki’s body strength.

Kazuki then used Rathomir’s foot to support the sword. It cutted the head off, but the other two demons at the campfire came. When he tried to pull out the sword out of the demon’s neck, it was too stuck onto the bed where the demon was sleeping. But luckily, there was a one-handed axe in the house. Kazuki picked it up, and it was small and light. One of the demons charged at him with a sword. He deflected it with the axe and splits open the head of demon. The other one charged as well, but he kicked the body of the demon onto the demon that’s charging. The demon was knocked down, that was his chance to kill him, and he splits the head. Kazuki learned that the head is the weakest spot and light weapons are good for Rathomir’s body. He looks for any items he could find in the demons pockets, he finds… a potion?

“So, this world contains magic as well? Great.” Said Kazuki annoyed, and a little bit scared. He walked to the other side of the village.

Kazuki found the house that the hostages were in, he saw only one guarding outside, so he assumed that the other two were resting somewhere. He quietly walked to the side of the house, and readies the axe. He tried to hit the heart with the axe with full strength of Rathomir’s body, and it worked, it killed the demon. But when, he opened the door, he only saw piles of body. “I swear I heard the captain ordered to kill the hostages tomorrow, but why now?” Said Kazuki to himself while being shocked and getting sick of the stench. He realized that it was a trap, and the other demons were here. Kazuki wanted to run, but it was too late, the captain and the other demons arrived.

“Take that lowly creature to the dungeon.” Shouted the captain.

“O- Oh yeah? Y- You think I’m just going to s- s- s- surrender like that?” Shouted back Kazuki angrily but scared at the same time.

But then, Kazuki hears a bunch humans screaming loudly coming to this village. It was a company of knights, they looked ready to die. A demon used magic to chain and hold hostage Kazuki, all of the demons ready their weapons.

“Stop, we have a hostage here!” Said the captain of the demons while bringing Kazuki to in front of the knights.

“We don’t care! The rules in this world is the weak dies and the strong-“ Said one of the knights.

The knight was punched with a pistol, “We are not here to make conflict with the people here. Our objective is to kill the demons and no more.” Said the captain.

The captain of the demons throws Kazuki far away back, he hits a house and passes out.

Kazuki opened his eyes and sees a girl besides him, he was in some kind of underground room,

and only a candle lights the room. “Ah, you’re finally awake!” Said the girl.

“Who are you, how old are you, and where am I?” Said

Kazuki while being dizzy and confused.

“My name is Khyeira, I’m 17. We’re in a secret room under my house. I heard some rumbling outside this room and I heard a human’s voice, I checked and it was, and you were passed out, so I brought you down here. What’s your name?” Asked the girl.

“I’m Rathomir and I’m….” Kazuki doesn’t know how old Rathomir is, so he just answers, “…15 years old.”

The girl laughed out at him. “What’s wrong?” Asked Kazuki.

“You’re actually younger than me?!?!” said Khyeira while still laughing.

Khyeira got up and opened the secret trapdoor that leads to outside. Kazuki took his axe and followed Khyeira out of the secret room, it was morning. They both saw many dead bodies of knights and some dead bodies of demons, the stench of the dead bodies were strong. He looks for any kind of weapons or items that he can find

in the dead bodies, he finds a short sword that Rathomir’s body can handle, and another light axe so he could dual-wield it. He also finds potions, Kazuki thought that he could find a potion store somewhere around here and get some information about what is going on with this world. “Hey, Khyeira. Do you know where these demons come from?” Asked Kazuki.

“No, they just come out of nowhere.” Answered Khyeira.

“Where do we go now?” Asked Kazuki.

“To the big city. But, we can’t get there in one day,

we’ll have to rest in other places.” Answered Khyeira while feeling doubtful.

Kazuki also looks for items in the houses, he found a backpack, and there was some bottle of water in it. He tells Khyeira that there is a house full of dead bodies. So before they go, they went to bury them. After that, they packed their stuff and started their journey to get to the big city.
