On the path to school, there were several students walking behind and in front of us. A few were in groups as they excitedly chatted with their friends, while others walked by themselves. I, on the other hand, walked beside the timid girl, Luna, who said she wanted to talk to me about something, but so far hasn't said a word.She was wearing an oversized hoodie, even though it was currently morning. It looked as if she was trying to psyche herself up to speak since every few minutes, I heard her faintly mutter something that couldn't even be comprehended as a word, much less a sentence, but every time I looked in her direction, she averted her eyes and looked down.It was as if we were playing a cat and mouse game. If I stared at her for too long, she would look as if she was on the verge of tears.Instead of jumping into whatever she wanted to say, I decided to make small talk with her so she would gradually become comfortable speaking with me."We're in the same weapon cultivation c

Just before class ended, I asked Luna to meet me on the rooftop. She looked as if she was about to refuse, but when I told her I wanted to discuss that thing with Mia, she nodded her head and quickly agreed."Alright, I'll meet you there," she nodded.I then sent a text message to Kai, telling him to meet Luna on the roof. The two of us had exchanged phone numbers to make conversing easier. Kai sent another message in return, thanking me for my help, saying he owed me one and that I was a real friend.After classes ended, I watched as Luna packed her bag, and Kai soon followed after her. I waited a few minutes before getting up from my seat and following them....Luna tried to calm the nervousness inside her as she went up to the roof. This was her first time on the roof, and the moment she saw it, she was in awe. Down below, she could see the entire campus.A breath of wind brushed against her face and swayed her hair, causing a small smile to appear on her face.CRACK.Just then, s

For a moment, everyone in the classroom was shocked. The principal of the hero academy just walked in, pulled out his soul weapon, pointed it at a student, and said "demon."At that moment, everyone's eyes drifted to the student the principal was pointing at. It was a single male student sitting at the back of the classroom, with both feet on the desk. His fiery red hair was a mess as if it wasn't combed this morning."Huh?"Roku scowled at the principal with no effort to hide his annoyance."Not only did you have the gall to sneak into my academy, but you also murdered one of my students underneath my watch. I don't know how I'll live through such a shame but you'll certainly not."Again, a wave of whispers washed through the classroom."That can't be right.""Did he say he killed a student?""No way.""Which student is it?"Watching the students' faces, Roku frowned and climbed to his feet."Look, old man, I don't have any idea what you're talking about."Roku said, but Principal Gr

Lilith had the wrong idea about success, and so does the demon king. It wasn't about forcing the world to follow your plans but understanding the meaning of every situation while finding your role in the chaos of life.Adapting to the narrative was a realistic way of handling life's plot twists rather than trying to predict 10 moves ahead in a game where the rules keep changing.That was where Abaddon went wrong.That was where the entire demon race went wrong.Normally in stories, it is the humans who get sent a hero, but this time, it's different. I believe that I was the hero sent for the demon race.One such plot twist was standing in front of me at this very moment.The moment I let Roku escape from the classroom, I knew where he would be headed. He would escape into the orange area on the map and would likely enter a dungeon. My guess would be the goblin dungeon.After school, I would go to the dungeon and kill him.That was my plan, but what I didn't plan was the situation curr

What I saw was one of the goblins viciously humping Kiki's leg while she screamed and bashed the tiny green creature over the head with her staff. But it was to no avail.It was a goblin attack. I counted around 13 goblins in total.Like a chosen knight, Levi wielded his sword with strength and might. A single blow was all it took for him to split the goblins from head to toe.His body flickered in and out of sight as he dismembered the horde of attacking goblins one by one with brutal accuracy.His trusted companion, Mia, had her soul weapon in hand, cutting down goblins with unparalleled speed and grace. Whenever she moved between goblins, it was as if her entire body turned into mist, causing her to become 2-3 times faster.Since the others were busy, I rushed forward to save our damsel in distress.Since it was distracted by Kiki, I managed to land a lethal blow to the back of the goblin's head with my dagger. Its entire body shuddered before it collapsed to the ground.From there
