Jordan came to his senses and began to look around, everywhere around him were demon-like mutants, being quite tall Jordan could see above most of the mutants here.
But when Jordan looked he couldn't even see the end of the swarm of people that were there, he was at several concerts of the popular bands before but the number of people then couldn't even compare, millions of people must be there, there were people of all races, skin colors and most of all mutations, Jordan could see others with horns, bat wings, fur and beast-like mouths, even mixture of horns and fur and so on, the variations seemed almost endless, while here and there he could also see some people without any mutations.
What Jordan assumed was the middle of all the people was a place where a huge transparent crystal was placed, the crystal could be around 50 meters (164ft) tall and inside the crystal were floating circles filled with symbols and unknown words.
Everyone was disoriented and didn't know what to do but even if they opened their mouths no sounds came out, Jordan looked up and could see the clear starry sky, but he didn´t recognize it, worse it was close to an evening when he was transported but now, he couldn´t even see the sun, the only source of light were glowing balls that flowed above them.
Just as all the demons here prepared to kill one another a terrifying feeling swept all around them and all they could do was to stand still like terrifying statues.
Hologram of what must have been a divine being appeared, the being that appeared was an old man with long white hair and equally long and white beard, the man had two huge horn growing from his head each easily longer than 30 cm (1 ft), they slightly curved and went above his head, also the old demon had long ears just like elves, he was wearing a black luxurious robe and from the body of the demon black halo was radiating, even though it was only hologram incredible pressure was emitted from him.
The old man began to speak, and his voice spread everywhere and despite it being clearly foreign language everyone could understand just fine "welcome young ones on the averted side of your moon, my name is Kharz O´Khan and I am the second strongest mage in all the demon worlds, I am sure you have many questions and you will get some answers from what about I am about to tell you so for now just listen"
It was incredibly weird, millions of demons, humans, mixed breed, undead all of those different awakened listened to the old man words without even moving, even though it was only hologram nobody knew what to expect after all they couldn´t even make a sound.
Kharz O´Khan "what you are experiencing on the planet called earth is never before seen event, nowhere in the galaxy is place without source energy or mana as you call it and yet here we are in place where few weeks before only drops of mana existed, the earth and it´s solar system are located near the galaxy core that produce the mana, which is even weirder because the mana here is supposed to be one of the thickest… and yet… some incredible transcended being created a barrier and isolated Earth from the rest of the galaxy and despite the isolation you have tales of demons and angels, maybe even the so called gods of yours religions points toward the transcended being I mentioned... and that bring us to our main goal, you will find the remains of the transcended being that was there or the artefact that kept the mana away and to this day and is still keeping all the beings above certain circle or rank of power away, it is truly miraculous that the barrier managed to block even the leader of our faction and the leader of divine faction, as you can imagine the remains of such transcended being are extremely valuable and will be huge boost for the faction that gets them"
Jordan´s mind went into overdrive just to process all that was happening, it took him a while to digest what he heard, and yet the old man wasn´t done yet.
Kharz O´Khan "And this is where it will involve you, our prophets together with prophets from divine faction made huge ritual and its outcome revealed that the only resident from the Earth can unravel Earth´s secret... SO our demon faction closed a deal with the divine faction, we will leave the fight to you, we will provide you with monsters you can command, weapons you can use, or spells and methods to make them"
"We could just invade with all the low ranked forces we have and completely overthrown the earth but if we did so the divine faction would do the same… in the end, no one would gain anything… that's why we made a pact that limits the support we can provide, the pact was made by our leader and the leader of divine faction but there are some ways around… and now for how the things will work, for example, the barrier doesn't block items, we have established portals to other worlds where you can go to recruit soldiers, buy techniques or buy equipment, you can get to here by using the teleport crystal you will be provided, you will also be provided with demon´s language dictionary so use it. nobody will speak your language there, we only have demon language/English copies so deal with it, also there will be administrators that will give you missions that you can choose to completed to obtain these crystals"
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Kharz O´Khan showed a small blue crystal with the size of a nail, and a big projection showed itself there were different sizes and numbers to show their value "you will get a number of these depending on the number humans or angels you kill, for humans under your rule, for completing missions and so on, more about this will be in the book you will all receive, you can exchange these for the things I said earlier or you can absorb their mana in attempt to increase yours maximum mana capacity or accelerate your demonization´s maturity, more information about their use or any information you desire will be purchasable here from your handlers. But don't celebrate yet, the divine faction will provide help to angels as well, they won´t provide them with monsters but they will make up for it by recruiting most of the humans and will guide them by providing them with spells and equipment."
Kharz O´Khan moved his hand and everyone got a small leather bag with one transparent weird crystal inside it, one could see many circles with unknown patterns and words, secondly, they got the dictionary and also one small book that contained basic information about the exchange rates and many other information, lastly, there was small moneybag filled with few crystals.
Kharz O´Khan "if you lose your teleporting crystal you can only steal it from someone else, we won´t provide you with another, oh yes we support healthy competition so you can kill yourself down there as much as you want but here you are forbidden to hurt one another"
"the crystal can be activated by pouring mana into it, the crystal will imprint your consciousness and in a while that can take up to several hours will create a gate through which you will get here when you want to get back activate the imprint in your mind and another gate should instantly appear that will get you back, you can´t stay here more than 20 hours if you stay here longer the imprint will fade and you will be killed, this is to prevent you from using it as your last resort for escaping, it was decided as such between our and divine faction, after using it like such the crystal need 72 hours to recharge, and yes I almost forgot, the one that retrieves the transcended beings remains or the artifact will be awarded the position of greater demon nobility and several wishes that will be personally fulfilled by our great leader, just for you to imagine you can wish to get whole worlds that are under our control, and that is all"
With a swipe of his hand the hologram ended, everyone on the platform became restless and the spell that blocked them from speaking ended, chaos erupted but ended as shortly as began when black beams returned and transported them back.
Jordan was teleported back in the corridor where he was leaning against a wall ´This changes everything, I don't need humans under my rule right now, also it looks like I am indeed a demon now, I can´t stay here, Sophie and Jack got teleported for sure as well and now they have one more reason to kill me´
Jordan didn't wait for them and quickly packed the leather bag into his backpack, quickly he put the backpack on and just as he finished he could hear Sophie shouting "KILL THE DEMON, HE WAS SEND HERE TO TURN US ON ONE ANOTHER AND THEN KILL US ALL"
Jordan didn't wait for anything and immediately run for the stairs, when he arrived it was already too late, he couldn´t go to the lower floor as dozens of humans armed with improvised weapons were there, he could only go to the upper floors. And while running on the stairs he couldn't help but think ´shiit… I should have jumped out of the window, fall from the second floor should be more than fine, I still need to get used to my new body´
Marie that was with Sophie shouted while trying to catch up. "GET HIM!" Jordan didn't wait for them, even though he beat a group of ten people before he wasn´t so confident now, first when he attacked the group they weren't prepared but now they got friends, weapons and clearly they all knew what to do.
Jordan went for the rooftop, there may be some ladder which he can use, Jordan run up the stair until he got on the roof. The roof was flat with only the stairs coming there so Jordan blocked the door that went there with his pipe and run around to check where he can descend and escape.
Kicking and slamming sound resounded around the rooftop while Jordan considered his options, there wasn't anything he can use to safely descend, he can jump down and risk breaking his legs which will leave him defenseless and will lead to a slow death or he can make the last stand here hope that they won´t be so incompetent and will kill him quickly. More shouting could be heard from behind the door and Jordan was just getting sick of it. "DESTROY IT, WE MUST GET HIM!" "YOU ARE DEAD!"
Jordan "every time things turn for better some shit must hit the fan" Just then he got an idea and quickly went and hid above the door.
It only took a while and the group broken through the door and reached the rooftop, around 20 men together with Eric poured out while shouting "WHERE IS THAT BASTARD?"
Jordan knew that he doesn´t have much time and must make his move quickly, just then Sophie made it through the door, "perfect" knowing that no better opportunity will come Jordan jumped at her and held a knife to her throat, maybe taking a hostage could work.
Jordan shouted at everyone while moving close to the edge of the roof. "EVERYONE BACK OFF! AND THROW DOWN YOUR WEAPONS"
