“Cheers!” Roared the festive crowd of demon race soldiers that were under Persephone command.

One of the veteran soldiers swayed while walking up to me, the closer he came the stronger the stench of alcohol on his breath and the remains that were dripping down his beard could be smelt.

“Hey, boy!”

“Um… Hi?”

“Loosen up a lil, it’s a party so enjoy it! Here have a drink”

The man slipped me a cup full of this town so called specialty home brew beer.

“Thank you”

“No problem. So I heard you were gonna fight the young miss?”

“Yeah I am”

A big grin appeared on the old man’s face.

“Well thank you for that boy. I can tell the young miss is really looking forward to fight ya, she hasn’t had anyone who can match her strength in a long time.”

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

“How long?”

The old man started stroking his beared while he went into a deep thought.

“Hmm, I think it’s been 100 or 200 years.”

“Oh I see… WAIT 100-200 YEARS!

The old man started cracking up laughing as he heard my response.

“Yup it’s been about that long. We of the demon race have a longer lifespan by far compared to you humans”

“Damn, that’s cool”

[Laughs] “You know what boy, I like you. Full of fighting spirt and you do not judge like most. All you need now is the strength to back up all that courage of yours.”

“Well you’ll see tomorrow how strong I am”

“I guess I will. Don’t disappoint my expectations boy.”

The old man drank another beer then walked of laughing.

After a little more partying I decided to call it a night. So I walked to the bar owner who was keeping my room keys according to Persephone.

“Excuse me”

The young lady replied with a sweet but quick response

“What can I do for you young man”

“I got told that you have the room keys for the room Persephone prepared for me tonight”

“Oh yes. Here are your keys sir. Enjoy your stay.”

“Thank you”

“No problem and good luck for your fight tomorrow”

I walked up to my room a little tipsy from all the alcohol. As soon as I got the bed, I fell down on my bed and slept. [Btw, yes you can get a drunk like effect in the game to help preserve the feeling of a second world experience]

[2 Hour later]

“I can’t sleep. I’m too nervous and excited for the fight tomorrow!”

Eventually time went by and night turned into day. Before I knew it, it was the day for our fight and I had not slept at all.
