In The Demon Realm.

Two shadowy figures were standing on the top of the hill, filled with dead trees.Nothing had life there. The only thing that lived were demons.

‘There is no doubt about it. We just witnessed the actions of a demon slayer.’ said thoughtfully, a man wearing a beige hooded t-shirt, a top hat concealed his face.

‘I see, he was undoubtedly no ordinary human.’ said another man dressed in a jet black overcoat with a white shirt underneath. He had fairly long black hair with a fairly muscular physique. He was a handsome guy who wore an aviator spectacle.

‘That is pretty much obvious, a demon slayer is under no circumstances an ordinary human.’ said eagerly the man in beige.

‘Those eyes were not that of a human, I guess you know what it means right?’ enquired the man in the sleek coat as he lit his fragrant cigar.

‘I do, but the chances are next too impossible. A half mortal cannot typically exist…’

‘Hold it demon king. I have lived a long life and tragically I can never die. During my lifetime I came across various scenarios and gathered vast amount of knowledge, so given the circumstances such an unique phenomenon can definitely exist.’said the man as he smoked his fine cigar.

‘I get it, but the fundamental premises are currently unclear. Anyways I do undoubtedly intend to know your true motives. You have handily defeated, no annihilated our kind before, so why are you generously helping us this time?’

‘Don’t get me wrong demon king, I wouldn’t hesitate to slaughter your kind once and for all. So consider me a guest here, I would work alongside you as long as I see fit.’

‘If you were to choose between the mortals and

us and you end up helping the other side, then I wouldn’t hesitate to take you on, wizard.’

The man in the coat did not reply, he instantly started walking away as he slowly disappeared into the impenetrable mist.

----------------------------------------

woke up jumping out of my bed. Sweat was dripping down my face, and my heart was still thumping. I did not know how I got there and neither did I desperately want to know, I calmed myself down.

The flimsy curtains were incapable of standing against the suns roaring rays, I woke up and drew the curtains.

The precipitous mountains were covered with a rug of trees, green, yellow, scarlet and orange, but their bare tops were scarfed and beribboned with overnight snow. From carved rocky outcrops, waterfalls drifted like skeins of white lawn, and in the fields we could see the amber glint of shallow rivers and the occasional mirror-like flash of a mountain lake.It was a wonderful day indeed.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

But, the last thing I merely remember was brutally slaying a wicked demon. It was quite a violent fight, if it wasn’t for my former self then I would have been dead by now. Though I wonder, how was he able to grant me such strength or it was something that I always harboured inside me?

I remember my childhood days. They weren’t the most pleasant of memories. My mind was confused and so was my soul. I took a look at my right palm. The cursed mark itself was full of mysteries.

I do wonder sometimes, why was I choosen for this task?

It all seemed like a forceful fantasy sometimes, but it is in contrast real business.

Though I am quite fond of using the term supernatural, I don’t deal with the supernatural rather these are quite a natural phenomenons, it is just something we human do not understand.

‘I see so you are finally awake, that makes me feel delighted you know.’ said Ethos as he suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

‘So its you, was I able to teleport myself?’ I asked.

‘You did so, but it seems that you got yourself entangled into some sort of trouble.There were minor wounds all across your body I healed them with my magic. You indeed are quite an exceptional student.’

‘Ethos, I fought furiously with a demon and stayed it with my sword.I was cornered at first but suddenly I felt acute an enormous amount of power surging through me. I was in contrast able see each one of the demon’s violent attack in critical detail, and I was able to dodge it with little effort.’I opened unto to Ethos.

His facial expression changed, he sat down on the miserable bed and looked anxiously into my sunken eyes.

‘How did you crushingly defeat it?’ he asked out of burning curiosity.

‘I created a lunar shaped green coloured form of energy that with mum sword.’

‘I see, so you have successfully mastered one of the sword’s powerful trick. Compared unfavorably to the two others you rather are a quick learner.’he remarked, but hold in a second what did he just say!

‘There are other demon slayers down there?’ I screamed in agony in surprise and got back a surprised look to.

‘I assumed you knew that in one generation there are three holders of the cursed mark!’

‘What do you merely mean? How will I know any such odd things?’

‘You are merely quite a sarcastic guy. Okay, there are three cursed marks one of which is the mark of revival, the one you behold.One is merely the mark of summoning, a mark that allegedly allows the user to summon strong creatures fro other dimensions, an interesting guy came here a month ago the one who had the mark of summoning, he mastered lightening magic within a week!’

‘You could have at least told me stupid old man!’ I screamed in agony.

‘Old man! What do you think of yourself little brat?’ and the small fight continued until things went back to normal.

’The third one is the mark of conscience, it can grant the beholder the ability to create false experiences by using illusions, it is considered a rather weak ability among some idiots, but I feel that this one has the most potential.

We all have our secrets and individual thinking process, if that gets messed up there is no cure.’

‘Well, I do not know what do next?’ I remarked.

‘You have spent two days in here. You must get going and help people who need you at the moment. Fate will decide the rest.’

‘Okay then, I must leave at once. Thanks for everything old man.’

‘Do not call me an OLD MANNNNNNNN!’

I said as I teleported myself to London, I must visit my home for once I guess.
