The Demon Empowered Orphan

Over five years had passed since the war with the Shalkers ended. Every adult was conscripted in order to stand a chance at winning. Yet, unfortunately, about 1 billion people perished during the war. This was roughly 10% of the world's population.This event left many children as orphans. The government decided to pay for their living expenses until they went to military school. The government only provided them with the bare minimum, enough for food expenses, and a 7 metre by 7 metre apartment room. This was only enough room for a small bathroom, kitchen, bed, tv, and a desk in the corner for studying.Zak Farrell was an orphan living alone in an apartment provided by the government. He belonged to a family of ancient martial artists, training every single day from an extremely young age. The name of his family dojo was "The Way of The Blissful Demon", it was not very well known since it did not focus on ability-oriented training, which Zak did not at all mind as he trained his h

After hearing the announcement, Zak hurried to find the sign-up area for the combat division. After he searched for a few minutes, Zak found the sign-up booth. He was late for the sign-ups because of his encounter with Nathan, so there weren't too many people in line.Zak lined up and waited for his turn to sign up. After a few minutes of waiting, a mysterious-looking boy lined up behind him. He carried 2 daggers on his waist and he wore a cloak that covered most of his face, so you could not really make out his appearance. This person was Joe, the person Nathan sent to spy on Zak .After a few more minutes of waiting, it was Zak 's turn."Student ID, please.", said a female voice from behind the desk.Zak took out his student ID and handed it to the girl behind the desk. She took the card and scanned it on her computer."Thank you sir. Now please draw a card from this box to see what group you will be in for the skill evaluation exam. As you can tell, we have many students applyi

Zak slowly opened his eyes in a white room. The room had curtains separating him from the rest of the room. He was lying in bed surrounded by medical equipment on each side. The room looked like an infirmary. Zak could only assume that he was in the school nurse's office. His memories were still hazy about what happened and how he ended up in this state. It seemed like he was no longer injured, but his body was still aching so badly that he could barely move.Suddenly, he heard a soft female voice."I see you're finally awake, host. You've been out for over 5 hours now."Zak was startled. He looked all around him, but he could not see a single person."Ha ha ha! I am your new Demon System. I am a part of you now so it's only logical that you can't see me.""Who the heck are you?", Zak asked harshly."I am Avilia Graymore, the first demon lord. Before I died, I sealed my consciousness in that necklace of yours in order to help the future generations of demons.", The system said."Y

As soon as he saw that person, Zak had terrible flashbacks to his time in his previous school. The person in front of him was by far one of the biggest bullies he had dealt with. His name is Eric Quinn.Although he was not very strong, he was strong enough to beat Zak. Since he was considered weak, he was bullied every day. Almost every day, he would use Zak as a punching bag and extort him out of a lot of money to vent out his anger.The past Zak was naïve and stupid, so he would always take his beating with no complaints. But now that his mind was clearer, he wanted nothing more than to kill him. Zak did not give a shit about how he was also bullied. Whoever messed with him will get what he deserved. That was his new way of life.Zak decided to act like his previous naively positive personality to not arouse any suspicions.Zak walked towards him and sat right next to him."Hey there, Eric! Its been so long! I'm so glad to see a familiar face in my class!", Zak said with a bright bu

Before Zak got the chance to celebrate, a flurry of system notifications flooded his vision. The amount of XP he farmed off Eric was insane! It made him level up 10 times in a row. Zak imagined that he would get a lot of XP, but even he didn't expect to get this much.Zak patted himself on the back for his amazing accomplishment. He jumped up and down celebrating like a child opening his presents on Christmas. He was too happy to hold back his excitement.Then, he noticed that one notification lingered and didn't disappear like the others.Zak stopped his celebration and wore his usual serious expression.He didn't know the exact meaning of the notification so he didn't want to rush into any decision."Avilia, what is this evolution thing?" Zak inwardly asked."It's a surprise! If I tell you now, it will ruin it!" Avilia said in a cute tone."Some help you are…" Zak said while sighing."Don't be like that! Fine, I
