Chapter 2

The two Orcs were lying on the ground, both dead.

For Nirvana, a 5th tier spell was weak and wouldn’t even scratch her, but for the Orc it was fatal, a single attack killed him. Usually, only 8th tier magic and above would be used when fighting another level 100, and even a spell of the highest tier wouldn’t be able to finish a level 100 in a single attack.

“They were really weak… are the other beings of this world also around this level? If they are, then there is nothing to worry about… Still, it is prudent to act with caution, these two could just be an exception and there might be powerful beings hiding somewhere in this world.”

As she finished both of the Orcs, Nirvana burned their bodies so there would be no evidence of her presence in that place. For her, it was always good to take precautions, especially in the situation she encountered herself, in an unknown world, it would be bad if someone found those bodies and linked them to her.

After walking for some hours in the forest, Nirvana finally stopped at a clearing close to a river.

She was going to rest and resume her search for civilization on the next day, the goal was to find a city she could settle in and then decide her next steps.

After sitting down on the ground, leaning against a tree, she realized something that surprised her.

“Hum? I don’t feel tired at all… even after walking for hours, I am completely fine.” She thought.

Trying to find the reason behind it, she then came to the conclusion that it was a result of her transformation into Nirvana. She had become an Arch-Devil, the Great Demon Nirvana, and could now function without the need for sleep or any kind of rest. She also didn’t need to eat and didn’t even need to breathe, she could just continue functioning without all those things.

“Sure, I remember that there was something like this on the lore of my character… Arch-Devils don’t need to rest, eat, or breathe. Actually, if I am not mistaken, most Heteromorphic races, like Vampires and Demons, don’t need these things.”

The need for rest that led Nirvana to make a stop and the need for drinking water when she first arrived in this new world inside the cave, was psychological.

Her mind was accustomed to that of a Human and just asked for these things, now, her mind was adapting to that of a Demon, and these Human necessities were slowly fading away.

Sarah took a deep sigh.

“It seems I really became a Demon… both physically and mentally, I am no longer human.” She contemplated while looking at the sunset on the horizon. “I killed two living beings, but I feel no guilt or remorse, I was actually enjoying doing that… looking at the despair in their eyes… Well, I shouldn’t think much about it, I am no murderer, the situation is different now.”

She now had the body and the mind of a Demon, but there were still traces left of her humanity. Therefore, she would still try to maintain a sense of morality, but even if she had emotions they would be suppressed most of the time.

After finishing her own monologue, convincing herself that she wasn’t evil, Sarah went to confirm some things.

“Oh, yeah, I need to check if my items also came with me.”

Her character Nirvana had multiple God-level items that would be very useful. It would be good if they also came to this world. There were items for all functions, either being infiltration and concealment to actual battle-focused items.

“Let’s see… Considering how I used magic against the Orcs, this should be similar. There is no console command or anything like that, I just need to think of it. Of course, this is real life now…”

Nirvana concentrated and extended her hand. Mere moments after, a small portal, darker than the very own darkness, appeared and Nirvana inserted her hand into it.

She could sense all the items inside it, a dimensional storage where she could store anything and take it to any place. It doesn’t matter how big or how many objects were placed there, they would always fit inside.

There were items like capes, sets of armor, protection items, magical staffs, swords, and daggers. There was a big variety of equipment for all kinds of situations.

Looking through the many items, Nirvana found an interesting one.

“Oh… the Crimson Ring.”

She took her hand off the portal holding the ring.

“It can heavily suppress and seal magical power.” Analyzing it on her hand, she had an idea. “It might be good to use it. If most beings of this world are around the level of the Orcs, sensing my magical power could be dangerous for them.”

Nirvana’s magic was potent, as a level 100, her power was probably stronger than any other, so if one were to directly sense her magic it could cause madness or even involuntary death in lower-level beings.

“And, since physically I look exactly like a Human, this ring would hide my magical power, concealing the fact that I am a Demon. I don’t know how the people of this world would react to one, but it’s generally not a good reaction.”

Then it was decided that she would wear it, as she always said, it’s best to take the necessary precautions.

She put the ring on her finger, it was golden and, as the name said, it had a crimson stone on its center.

As for fighting equipment, Nirvana usually used two silver daggers that were imbued with magic of the fire and lighting elements of the 5th tier. She placed them on her waist, each on one side.

Nirvana would then spend the whole night performing tests and checking things. These were all done with the purpose of confirming if everything was like, or at least similar to how it was in the game Elysian.

***

As the morning came, Nirvana resumed her walk. She continued for some hours until she suddenly came to a stop.

'What are these strange noises?' She thought, looking at the direction they were coming from. 'They look like screams…'

The screams weren’t exactly that close to her, a normal person wouldn’t be able to hear. The fact was that she could hear things far away, she could hear even when kilometers apart.

The sound seemed to be just a few hundred meters from her.

“It is better to see what is happening, it might be my first contact with an actual human or... at least a more human-looking being.”
