Please help me, help me…
A faint cry echoed from afar, Davis couldn’t see anything, he couldn’t move his body, he looked at the endless darkness in front of him.
Help me…
The cry for help echoes louder around his body, Davis tries with all his might to turn around but no matter how hard he tries he cannot feel his body.
As he looked straight into the void, the sorrowful cry grew louder and louder, Davis instinctively covered his ears but the sound was still there. Until a familiar voice calls to him
“DAVIS!”
Davis knew who this voice belonged to without a shadow of a doubt, he frantically turned his head around but he could have never imagined the scene of what awaited him
The scenery changed from a dark emptied void into a majestic land that was covered in lush vegetation and thriving wildlife. Davis could now move his body as he curiously walked toward a giant tree in the center.
He saw the fruit on the tree branches, A fruit he had never seen before, but his body walked up and picked the fruit off the tree branch.
He couldn’t control his body at all, he took a bite out of the fruit, and immediately afterward every animal nearby stopped in their track and stared directly at him.
A loud static noise blared in his mind as he fell to the ground covering his ear while screaming in pain, As Davis was in agonizing pain the surrounding animals started chanting in unison
“It’s all your fault, It’s all your fault, It’s all your fault…”
Davis felt a burning pain on his forehead, the pain was excruciating. He soon heard a low and gentle voice, “That is how it all began…”
Davis unable to stand falls unconscious once again.
Meanwhile, in the real world, Davis’s body moves robotically as his head turns to look at his stiffening body and smiles, “This isn’t a bad vessel” He then closes his eye
A few seconds afterward, his body releases a dark red energy that moves like an electric current throughout his body. He started to walk forward, his movement slowly becoming smoother
He then presses his arm onto his chest as blood drips from his mouth, “This body received too many injuries, I shouldn’t have released that much energy” he then falls to the ground
His eye turned to the knight who is slowly waking up and mutter to himself, “Perfect”
The knight woke up feeling pain all over his body, “Young master, where are you?” he looked around frantically
The knight saw Davis’s body lying motionless on the ground his clothes were covered in blood and next to him was the decapitated corpse of the mythical beast
Although, the knight had questions like, “Who defeated the beast? Did the young master defeat the beast before collapsing?” he rushes toward the Davis since his safety is more important
He picked Davis’s body up and started walking toward the destroyed carriage, but as he got halfway there he felt a sharp pain in his chest. The knight looked down only to see an arm protruding out of his chest
Davis's possessed body turned to him with a calm smile, “Don’t you know it a bad manner if you touch someone without their permission” He then pulled his blood soak arm out of the knight's chest
The knight fell to the ground, now looking at the full moon above his head. Davis's gentle smile slowly came into view as he looked down at him from above
The knight gathered the strength to ask one question, “Why?” in a muffled voice. Davis saw the desperation in his eyes and let out a chuckle, He made a shushing gesture with his finger, “Young master Davis isn’t home at the moment, so I’ll be the one doing the talking on his behalf”
The gentle smile on his face remained unchanged, it gave the now dying knight a sense of reassurance and creep every time he saw his face.
Davis's body continues, “You see this body owner is already dead and I’m the one that took his place” He spoke with a playful tone and expression that confused the knight for a split second
He leans down, “Don’t worry Mr. Knight the pain will only be temporary” Before the knight could react to his words, David’s arm grabbed onto his neck
“Demonic Blood sacrifice” The darkness around them started to move before engulfing their body creating a mass of black energy.
When the shadow dispersed it left the now bloodless body of the once proud aura knight and Davis whose body looked as good as new, “That wasn’t bad at all”
Demonic blood sacrifice is a skill that sacrifices a person's strength, power, and vitality into the one who uses this skill converting the accumulating energy into their own. The only drawback to this skill is that it has no effect whatsoever if the target is weaker than the one using the skill, but if it is the other way around then the effect is multiplied depending on the power gap.
“This sudden surge of energy, it has been a very long time since I used this skill, I wonder if I should be thankful that this body is very weak” Davis's body then walked toward the beast's corpse.
“Hmm, now this could work” He said with a smile before he caught onto another sense coming from the deeper part of the forest.
The real Davis reopened his eyes, he found himself sitting at a table under a giant tree. He looked around and noticed that he was on a small island, he was very confused.
Splash! Davis heard the sound of splashing water behind the giant tree, he got up and went to find the source of the sound, and he saw a figure
He was sitting on a cut log under an umbrella, his arm was holding a fishing pole, and walking closer he could make out a few details, The figure seemed to be male, he had long white hair and was wearing a white robe.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Davis had never seen that design in his life, Davis move closer and soon he was standing behind the man's leisurely still body
“E-Excuse me, Sir could I perhaps ask you a few questions?” Davis awkwardly ask
The man chuckled before placing the fishing rod down, “Of course, what would you like to know young one?”
Davis gathered his breath, “Where is this place? Where am I? Who are you, Sir? How can I”
“One at a time my friend” The mysterious man spoke in a calm voice
Davis apologized and he took a deep breath, “Where am I, Sir?”
The mysterious man replied, “You’re currently in my spiritual realm or a dream”
Davis continues “Why am I here?”
The mysterious man replied, “You’re here because you’re dead and your desperate cries for help drawn me in”
Davis then remembered his last moment “Then are you god?”
The mysterious man laughs at his remark, “My friend, I can’t answer that question”
The mysterious man continues, “Davis, do you believe in god?”
Davis thought for a bit “Yes and No”
before the mysterious man could answer the line on his fishing rod started to move so he started reeling in the catch
The mysterious man laughs, “OH, and why is that?”
Davis replied with a straight face, “I believe in the concept of God, but I don’t believe in the way they teach us”
The mysterious man smiled, “What an interesting answer”
He caught a goldfish, and before he got up, he let the goldfish back into the pond
The mysterious man turns around to Davis's shocked expression, the man mysterious man's face looks exactly like his
Davis stared at him intensely, “My friend if you stared at me that way it’d make me feel a bit self-conscious” He walked up to Davis, and Davis accidentally said, “What are you?”
The man smiled leisurely, “Let's continue our talk after we move to a more comfortable location”
The man snapped his finger and the space surrounding them changed instantly
Davis found himself sitting at an empty table in a luxurious room, sitting in front of him was himself. No, it was the mysterious man but his attire was much more formal than earlier
“I hope you enjoy the food my dear friend” The man's friendly smile caught Davis off guard as Davis looked down and saw the once emptied table was now full of different kinds of food
The mysterious man introduced himself, “You must be quite confused as to why you and I looked alike”
Davis nodded while taking a bite of the steak in front of him, the mysterious man continued, “I’ll be frank with you! I’m not a god, but from where I came from many different beings regarded me as one”
“You can call me K if you like my friend, I’m an ancient demon, a concept of human deepest fear”
“My friend, is the food to your liking?” K asked Davis
“It is, thank you for the meal, Sir” Davis bowed respectfully
K looked at him and let out a giggle, “Nothing in this world is free, I believe in the equivalence exchange, I’ll not lie to you, Davis, you have died”
Davis's sadness is shown on his face through his expression. “Hahaha, In the past I’ve died once as well and I must say it wasn’t the most pleasant of experiences, I came from another world known as Earth, a world that exists beyond your dimension”
Davis carefully listens, “Davis, make a contract with me, I’ll make your dream come true, I’ll give you everything you ever dream of, and in return, I get to use your physical body however I want”
Davis was surprised by the proposal and asked, “Why would… why would I accept your proposal?”
K smirked at him, “And why not? What would you possibly gain from refusing my offer?”
Davis spoke in confidence, “If you came to me then you must want something more than that, and you said earlier that you’re a demon, why would I a young inspired magician make a contract with a being that might destroy the world?”
K laughs so hard that he sheds a drop of tears, “You said that I might destroy the world? Then let me ask you this, what would I gain from such action?”
Davis had a lot of thought but couldn’t make up his mind on which one he should respond with. K continued, “Like I said before I came from another world, I have no reason to stay I only want a vessel that is strong enough for me to break through the barrier that separated this dimension and the other dimension”
K leisurely takes a sip of the wine, “If you reject my offer, I can always find another that will agree and besides you’re already dead making a contract with me will give you another chance to experience life even if it’s through me”
“If you refuse my offer, I will send you back to hell because you’re already dead and I’ll find another person, it just a lot of time and effort wouldn’t you agree?” His words are a mix of a suggestion and a threat
“Think of your mother, your sister, and everyone that waiting for you at home… will you break their expectation, their belief, and their heart like that?”
He then brought out a paper and a quill, “This paper is known as a soul contract” K explained while looking at Davis, his gentle smile and friendly demeanor weren’t something Davis thought a demon have
The top of the paper states: In return for using Mr. Davis Edwelt's physical body. Mr. K agreed to comply with 3 of Mr. Davis Edwelt's wishes and must complete them no matter the cost. If the contractor couldn’t or is unable to complete any of the 3 wishes then the contractor's soul will be excluded from Mr. Davis Edwelt’s physical body at once.
The second line of the paper states: Mr. Davis Edwelt is allowed to stay near his physical body until all 3 wishes of his are completed. Until the client's wishes are complete the contractor is unable to harm the client's soul in any way. The contractor must answer any question the client have truthfully, as long as it's related to contract.
And underneath it was reserved for Davis's signature and wishes that he wished for K to complete.
He thought for a long time about what he should write, “If you’re going to dream, I suggest you dream big” K's friendly voice shook Davis, and he started writing
Once he was done, he handed the paper to K to check, “OH, quite the interesting dream you have there Mr. Davis" He giggle to himself, he looked at Davis, his eye filled with amusement, "Then again I don’t hate those with great ambition”
K got up and raised his arm for a handshake, “I'm glad we agree with one another, Mr. Davis”
Davis shakes his arm, “Likewise, Mr. K”. K chuckle as he happily shook his head, “No, no sir. The pleasure is all mine. I’ll send you to the real world now,” K said as he finished his wine
Davis had one last question to ask. “If we’re going to work together, can I at least know who I’m working with?”
Upon hearing Davis's request, K's lips curved into a smile. “I have many names, but since ancient times, beings have associated me with fear." He continued, his gaze shifting to the sky. "I am many things, my friend. I am chaos, I am death, I am that wish you wish you never made."
With each word K spoke, the world around them shuddered, on the verge of collapsing. "I'll be seeing you soon, Mr. Davis," K announced. "You'll find out sooner or later. But for now, just call me K."
The world shattered, and everything plunged into darkness.
