Prologue
"This is utter bullshit. I hope the demon kills you all. Self-righteous pricks.""Dammit!"I slammed my controller down in frustration, not caring that it was on its last legs from all the beating I gave it before."Another $60 gone down the drain. All for what, so I can play a game about self-righteous bullshit!"This is the problem with stories nowadays: there are no true villains. And whenever they are, they always have some hidden goodness within them that the MC is somehow able to bring out.Without giving the game another glance, I quickly grabbed my phone. My fingers were burning to write another one-star review.'Trash game. I admit the concept was good in the beginning and it could've been one of the best games I've played all year if it wasn't for the linear storyline. It was uneventful at best. Matter of fact, it would be a tougher task losing at this game than winning.It started off interesting where you get to play as an up-and-coming hero in a hero academy. The twist co
The Demon's POV
'A demon!''This thing is a demon!'Not just any demon either. This is the demon king! I recognized him from Demon Among Us.Is this a dream? Am I dreaming?No, this feels too real! The heat from the flames was scorching me. It felt as if I was being burnt alive.Could this be hell?! Did I finally bite the dust?My body was only a ball of light energy, but still, I knew this was real.The flames… The demon… this looks all too familiar. This reminds me of the prologue. This scene reminds me of the first scene in Demon Among Us where the demon king extracts fractions of his soul.These fractions would later be the demons who would invade the hero academy."The seers told a prophet of an up-and-coming group of heroes. Heroes who would be strong enough to defeat me."The demon king spoke in a strange tongue, but somehow I was able to understand him perfectly. I also had an idea of the heroes he spoke of. It was the main character of this game along with his friends."Your task is to st
A New Family
Before the cataclysm that changed the world and brought forward demons, rifts, and other worlders, the Seymour family was one of the most influential families there was.They were deep in the oil business and made a fortune, but as soon as mana crystals were discovered, that all became obsolete.Their business fell, and they were forced to pay off investors. Coupled with that, all the fraudulent activities they were involved with came to light.In the end, the family went bankrupt. They were seen as a disgrace, and their legacy was forever destroyed.And to add to their misery, they could not afford the expensive treatment their son needed in order to survive.They even sold their adopted daughter Sophia the moment she awakened with a special skill. Even then, the money they got wasn't enough to save their son.They originally adopted Sophia to be the caretaker of their son Damien, and since they were the same age, they hoped they could bond together.Sophia was originally an orphan w
The Power of Transmutation
Transmutation, huh?It does sound interesting.I practically created a replica of Damien's skill since its secrets were still hidden within my DNA. It was all thanks to the power of my demonic skill and my quick thinking.[Skill Description: The Power to change a substance from one state into another.]Reading the skill description, I felt as if I struck gold. Being an avid gamer and former otaku, I knew a fair bit about transmutation.Imagine turning paper into gold. Or turning an ocean into quicksand. Or furthermore, what if I add a property to a body of water that makes it electrify anything it touches? With this power, I can rewrite materials on a molecular level, changing its form into whatever I please.Of course, this would depend on my proficiency of the skill combined with my talent, and right now it was looking grim.[Proficiency: 0.1Your proficiency in this skill will depend on your application of your ability combined with your scientific knowledge of molecular structures
A Gift
My mother's surprised voice rang out from behind me. I slowly turned around to see her covering her mouth in shock."Am I dreaming? How are you standing right now?"I guess seeing her son who has been crippled from the day he was born standing in front of her must've come as a shock. Maybe she would think it's the work of demons."My baby boy."She lunged off the bed and wrapped her hands around me. She didn't think for a second that I might not be her son."I don't understand. How are you standing right now?""It must've been the awakening. It healed me," I answered.Just then, Sophia and Jonathan burst into the room. Sophia's face was as blank as ever, but Jonathan looked at me in shock.His son was no longer bedridden.We spent the night celebrating my seemingly miraculous recovery. They were so excited that they didn't even sleep that night. When I showed them my awakened skill, they got even more excited.Why did I show them?It was simple. I needed to make clear my intentions to
Omelet Rice and a Happy Family
In the days that passed, Sophia's mood seemed to lighten a bit. Her glare wasn't as sharp as it once was. Though her eyes were still scornful."I swear you get more handsome by the day. You clearly didn't inherit your father's genes," my mother squealed as she wrapped her arms around me from behind.It was a morning occurrence. She always waited outside my room and ambushed me with a hug every morning."Yes, you're right, our son looks like a young prince. He'll be quite the hype among the girls when he finally enters that academy. When he returns we might find we have a grandson or two." My father chuckled as he drank his morning coffee by the table. "If he didn't have the same hair and eye color as me, I would have to wonder if he really was my son," My father wasn't an ugly man but he had quite the round stomach. He had a bit of neck fat and a mustache above his lip. He looked just like those prick nobles I used to faceslap on the games I used to play. While my mother was more be
The Talk
"Son, we need to talk."My father looked more serious than usual as he spoke. It was the kind of look you give your son when you find out they have been getting into trouble at school."Come with me."I nodded, and the two of us retreated to his and my mother's bedroom. This room used to be a storage room, but my parents converted it into their bedroom. Though it was a bit cramped, they decided to make do.I think this was because they felt guilty about everything that happened. Both Sophia and the former Damien were used to a life of luxury. Before everything that happened, my mother didn't know how to cook or clean, but after a while, she gradually got used to it.My father, being unathletic, wasn't used to physical labor, plus the harassment he has to endure at work. It took a while before they both adapted to their current situation. My father gestured towards the bed for me to take a seat.I took a seat, and he drew out a chair and sat in front of me."Son, I'm about to teach you
Meet Up
Sophia raised an eyebrow and gave me a look that seemed to say 'Are you serious?'"You do realize it's raining outside, don't you?" she asked, frowning."I know, but I have important business that needs to be taken care of tonight, and I need you to come with me."She rolled her eyes and walked past me without even giving it a thought.It seemed this was her answer."The next time you stalk me outside the shower, there will be consequences," she warned as she walked away."What if I told you that this business has something to do with my parents? That it would help them out greatly. You know how bad their situation is right, having to take care of two kids?"She immediately froze. She didn't dare take another step. She knew just how bad our financial situation was. As things stood, we were barely surviving. Her conscience wouldn't allow her to walk away if she knew there was a way she could help ease their burdens.She sighed heavily and spun around on her heel."Fine, what is this bu
No Longer Human
Sophia clutched her chest and continued to breathe heavily. Her face was as pale as a ghost as tears streamed down her cheeks."I can't do it, I just can't!"She shoved me aside and burst out of the bar. Throughout the chaos of the bar, no one seemed to have noticed what happened. They were all too captivated by the bartender to pay any mind to us.With a sigh, I turned around and went after Sophia. I found her in the alleyway beside the bar. She had broken down in tears on the ground. I suppose this was the part where the hero would comfort the heroine and solve all her problems for her, making her fall madly in love with him.I had no such fantasies or any intention of doing that. A lot has changed since I became a demon. One of such things is my emotions or lack thereof. I didn't care for the weeping girl in front of me. My warm mother, my gentle father, none of them meant anything to me. They were all just tools for me to fulfill my role as a demon.I walked over to Sophia, crying
Our First Battle
After nearly an hour, the demon finally stepped out of the bar. Thankfully, this time he was alone. The moment I saw him, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a pair of ski masks and handed one to Sophia. She didn't hesitate and quickly wore the mask, though her hands were trembling when she took it from me.I couldn't tell if it was because of what I did or what we were going to do. I then reached into my pocket and pulled out a handkerchief."What is that for?" Sophia asked, looking a bit puzzled."It's my weapon."Saying that, I then focused my ability on the handkerchief just like the many times I had practiced before. The handkerchief immediately dissolved into a ball of liquid, then it took on a metallic sheen before it finally transformed into a dagger.The dagger was roughly seven inches long, with a curved blade. The handle was metal while the blade was 93.2% silver, 5.8% steel, and 1% Null-Iron.It wasn't a perfect weapon. Silver was an extremely soft alloy. It could easi
