Chapter 2
It was decided that the 'companions' would train the hero and each one of them was supposedly the most talented in generations. They sucked hard though, and the only reason I couldn't kill any of them a combination of my own 'curse of cooperation ' and those damn training gear with all those useless security.
No matter what I tried I was foiled, non heroic abilities were unavailable to my current body while others were beyond its meager powers. Direct harm was impossible and things like catching and spreading STD were prevented by heroic immunity to sickness.
In all my training the only harm I could do, was accidentally break some soldiers bones and heal them badly. If it were not for that and it my undying hatred, I might have lost all hope.
I was a good thing that those people soon found me suitable for battle, and took me to the front. During our travel I was appalled at the lack of destruction in the villages and cities, it was like the devils were only targeting military and feudal lords.
My first battle was really terrible, the devils were just as bad as the humans, fighting in groups, cooperating and killing their enemy without adding to their suffering. Even doing my worst, none of them could harm me, it was so shameful to see such beings share the name of the great lord of deceit that I ended slaughtering them in rage to the great relish of my side. Soon the devils broke formation and fled in all directions chased by our own deep inside their territory... It was a very agreeable surprise when I heard that most of the units which followed them never came back.
As the war progressed and we progressed further in devil territory, I started doubting the information I had been given. The devils were supposedly foreign entities menacing this kingdom and the world, yet the architecture on the devil side was uniform while the human side included old building in the same style as this side. As a demon I could have made use of that lie to punish my client, but as a hero summoned by the gods, the only thing I could only obey.
The human, on the other hand started trusting me more and more and when I asked if I could act solo so I could find where the devil king hide himself, I was only forced to take a few scouts with me. 'Sadly' those spies were lost in ambush I purposely walked in and I was finally free to move freely. Unable to kill me and loosing troops with each attempt I was finally able to force one of their leader in a talk. I learned what I had suspected for some times now, the human arrived in these land only a few generations ago and contacts between the two sides were peaceful. Things continued that way until recently when the human attacked by surprised, conquering cities and razing every villages. But devils although a peaceful race, were soon able to mount resistance and learn how to fight by copying their aggressor. The defenseless quarry not dying anymore like they were supposed to, the humans demonized their victims calling them devils and begged their god for help which is were I come.

Satisfied of being on the wrong side, I explained to them how the gods curse forced me to follow all the wish of my evil summoner and gave instruction on how they could in turn summon me to their help once I was free. Since the war was coming to an end I thought I should soon be released. And right I was, in the next few month, the devils had lost most of their great leaders and fortresses leaving only a few thousands capable of fight scattered.
'On the way back to the kingdom I was killed in a devil ambush', or as my dear companions put it "We don't want an alien monster corrupting our culture with its weird ideas". With this I was free to be summoned again by the devils, and I gave them the full package, and transformed them in nigh invincible giant berserker warriors, I might have forgotten to warn them the transformation was incontrollable and they had to kill the own kind to untransform, but it was their own fault for only asking victory against the human and not their survival.

- And you see kids, that's how I came out of a desperate situation and struck back against the god. Remember newbies, as long you've got the will to cause harm never let go of hope, you will be able to reverse any situation !
- Thank you sir !(chorus)
- Now, off you go !
- Xxvrlgl, why do you keep telling this load of bullshit to the newbies ? Just beat them up like everyone else. What's the point of giving hope, they'll soon be crushed anyway.
- Well, you know how the newbie are too afraid to take any risk and end up in situation where they live on the side without bothering anyone in relative peace ?
- Yeah, that's how things have always been.
- Boring right ? That's why I do what I do, it's only by teaching they hope first that I can drive them to true despair laster.
(Both laughing)
