The Demon Lord had grown weary of his existence as the strongest being alive. Power no longer thrilled him; victory had lost its taste. The only thing he now looked forward to was listening to the stories of Lucian, a human captive. Of all the tales Lucian told, the Demon Lord most enjoyed those about the quiet lives of ordinary humans — their laughter, struggles, and fleeting joys. He envied that simplicity and secretly wished he could experience it himself. One day, as Lucian spoke, the demons under his rule rose in rebellion. They gathered their strength and turned against their lord. The Demon Lord, instead of resisting, welcomed the uprising. At last, he saw a chance to end his long, lonely reign. When he fell, his powerful soul refused to fade. It drifted through the void for centuries, searching, wandering — until it found a newborn’s body, one that had just died moments before. And just like that, the Demon Lord began life anew — as an ordinary human. But some beings, no matter how they try, can never truly remain ordinary.

Daniel only wanted an ordinary day. Classes, a bit of hanging out, then home before the rain grew heavier. But that humid afternoon became the beginning of the apocalypse. Humans began attacking humans, and the transformation happened right before his eyes. “Monsters don’t need a screen to be real.” Daniel said quietly. “And now they’re here.
