~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My name is Teric Loer Bilianthric Von Likutpirithus. Also known to others as the demon lord. Or well I was until I retired a few thousand years ago. I was also known by many other names that are self explanatory such as: The God Slayer, The Hero Slayer, The Champion Slayer, The Apocalypse, Death; I was known as the source of all evil in the world whatever negative name you can think of I had it. That was not all though. I am known also as the: The Great Creator, The Hero, Savior, Peace Bringer. You get the jist I am the evil and I am the good of this world.
This world is called Vierdrin. I was born here during the ages of when the gods first were made. My parents were both regular humans of that time. I was an oddity that was born. If I had to explain why I was born it would be because of balance. The gods just being born were all good in nature in the beginning trying to help out the humans in there lives. They were good beings and the humans followed suit. So nature in order to counter act all the good introduced the negative. Me and since I was the only negative or evil of that time. Nature had to ensure my survival.
Thus when I was born I had a photographic memory. I am able to learn almost anything instantly as well. You cast it just once on me and I could cast it back at you. So I had more magic abilities more knowledge learnt. I also have an almost indestructible body. When I was strong enough by watching the gods at work and copying them. I began killing the gods. I don't really know why I just had the urge to do evil.
I killed about 70 % of the billions of gods before they ran away to different realms. They could not kill me. I just introduced the seed of fear and despair into the world and the gods. Later on I found out my seed made some of the gods kill each other because of this seed I planted. The gods were not the only ones tainted. The humans now have forever been introduced to evil.
Some worshiped me others tried fighting... indirectly since they were to scared to actually face me. I didn't feel like wiping out all the humans because then I would feel lonely and bored. So the humans lived. I took up residence far away from the humans and began experimenting. I then made the race of demons. Along the way of making demons some of my experiments were released into the world. Humans just generally call them monsters.
Hundreds of years passed while I was making these things and it seems the Humans have banded together banishing the evil. Called the monsters and demons. Thus the humans are introduced as the good force while mine is called the evil. I made it so monsters have a high birth rate to repopulate themselves and swarm the humans.
I made sure to limit just enough to where the humans can suppress most of them so the humans can live. Then I made the demons able to give birth only when one of there numbers dies. The mind of that demon then get reincarnated into a new body. Thus my race of demons have immortality in some sense.
My demons know there place they know that they are supposed to be the evil that is necessary in the world. The humans soon got strong enough by fighting the monsters to send armies to my city. Sending their champions and heroes to slay me. My demons are very good at fighting now after hundreds of years. We have never lost. That gets boring though so I decided to set in place a balancing system. I took myself out from the equation and told my demons to spread the world that I some how died killed by the new demon king that took the throne. I placed a trusted subordinate to this task. He is forever the demon king.
Undoubtedly he is weaker than me and I assist the humans using one of my spells called Polymorph. Which allows me to freely change my shape to anything I want it to be. Thus I made myself into the shape of a human hero. I lead the humans against the demons and together we slew the new demon king. My party members and I were spread throughout the lands as saviors and given titles and kingdoms. I had refused and said I would rather spend the rest of my life in peace in the mountains. Thus I did I left the humans to watch over the now freed from evil humans.
Interestingly enough the humans were corrupted by the peace and began warring against each other. I commanded the demons that have now remade themselves to save whatever innocents that we could. That is when the cycle first started.
The cycle is Humans being good lead to defeat the evil demon king. Humans get corrupt and turn evil. Then the demon king leads his people to protect the some of the humans so they don't destroy themselves. Making the demons good. The Evil humans directed themselves towards the Demons saying the evil is back capturing humans to use as slaves or some shit like that. That's when the evil humans turn good to fight the evil demons again. This cycle has now repeated itself indefinitely.
Thousands of years have passed like this. Me giving a hand every once in a while to those I feel are deserving enough. My evil has faded eaten up by the new evil I dub boredom. That is why when I felt this strange other worldly magic trying to summon the strongest person on this planet. I was bored and traced the magic back feeling how strong everyone there was and adjusted my power hiding the rest to be just a bit above theirs. I also learned that it was humans summoning me so I transformed into a average looking human. Dark brown hair. Hazel eyes. Average looking face. About 5'9" in height. weighing about 155 lbs. Having a lean muscle mass that is not to overly showy.
Then I allowed the summons to take me along. Beginning this new chapter in my life.
***
I was standing in the middle of 8 what seems to be elderly human mages. With human soldiers a little ways away half on guard surrounding what looks to be the King and a little girl I can only presume to be his daughter the princess. I was not the only one to be summoned either. There was 1 Golden haired pretty boy human. Another fairly decent looking, but definitely more brawny out of the 5 of us that were summoned Black haired young man. Another one is a red headed young man who has an exceptionally lean muscle mass. His muscles were very compact. If I had to guess overall physical abilities I would say he is the best all rounded type.
Then the last one is a below average looking female she has long messy black hair. Her face looks scarred and beaten up. Maybe at one point she could have been called cute. That point has long since passed by what looks to be due to long years of torture. Yet her eyes did not look dull no in fact they looked fiery. Someone who looks like she has been given a new lease on life. The rest of her looks were just as bad. The clothes she was wearing was tattered and torn. The exposed arms, legs, and feet were all scarred and looks like some fresh wounds.
Looking at the overall magic capabilities of everyone in the room it goes like this. #1 is mr. golden haired pretty boy. #2 is the all rounded young man. #3 is the Brawny man. #4 is me. #5 is the princess. #6 the king #7-14 were the mages around us. Then the rest would be the soldiers. With the very last being the girl.
The princess had shiny eyes when she looked at all of us. Then when her eyes landed on the girl it changed to a worried look in which she ordered the one of the soldiers to get her some better clothes before they explain anything. The new heroes were mumbling about some information that they were speculating. Saying something about how cool is it that they are probably here to be heroes to slay some demons or something along those lines.
They set up the girl with some clothes and a private room for her to go into to change. She comes out with some noble looking clothes. The problem being her hair is still a mess and so is her face. Thus the saying the clothes make the person does not apply in this case. When she came back I decided to do some soul checking on some people. The pretty boys soul color is a dark black color. Not as dark as mine was originally, but he is definitely pretty evil. The brawny ones soul is a dark very dark grey color. The last male besides me the lean one has a shiny white soul. While the girl has a soul I haven't seen in a very long time. Pure grey its tainted by neither the white or the black to much. It is a perfect balance.
If you were curious about my soul I might as well tell you mine originally was so black it looked as if it would suck you in like a black hole. Now though since time went on an boredom has corrupted me my soul has changed to crystal clear. There is no color it is completely see through, but you can still tell it is a soul. Moving on the king has a dark grey color soul and the princesses soul is pure white. Except the fact of the black dot in the middle.
King: "Ahem* Welcome Heroes to the world called: Azif'Nazet. We have summoned the most powerful people of the worlds beyond ours. You have answered our call. You need not worry you may be thinking why is our language the same. The reason being. It is not in the summoning circle we have implemented a translating system so you can understand any language of our world and it gets translated into your language."
Pretty boy: "For what need do you have of us?"
King: "That is to defeat the enemies that lay at our door steps. We are being attacked by not only demons and monsters, but also by other human nations. To be honest we are cornered. That is until our god gifted us the knowledge of how to summon others from different worlds. May I ask what are the names of our new heroes and will you help us?"
Pretty boy: "My name is Cale Silverstrife. What will I get for helping you? Can you even send us back?"
King: "Unfortunately our god did not give us the returning spell. I vow though if you help us you can claim any reward that is within my power to grant you."
Brawny man: "So I get to kill things? My name is Krung son of Gareth the mighty."
King: "Yes, man and creatures alike if you will."
Lean young man: "If the creatures are harming citizens and evil kingdoms are trying to invade I am in. My name is Shiro Vientrit. I will aide you through this endeavor."
The girl and me are being stared at. I just look at the girl then she sighed saying. "I am Sakura. As long as you can't send me back there. I am grateful and will aide you in whatever way possible."
Shit my turn. "I am Xerkzin. I have no detailed information about this world yet. So I can not at this time make a commitment without knowing the whole picture."
King: "That is fine we plan on testing your abilities first. Then will train you in our combat techniques, History, and magic. After you learn our history you will have a good understanding of our strife and can chose to join us then."
King: "My name King Galion Tristion of the Tristion Kingdom. This is my daughter Princ---"
Princess: "My name is Princess Cinthia Tristion. It is a pleasure to meet you all." The little princess interrupted."
King Galion: "Well then if you don't mind. I would like us to move on to the testing room."
The king then guided all the heroes out of the room into a room with an over sized crystal ball in the middle.
King Galion: "Here we will convert your mana pool into a number for us to see what you rank. Everyone is born with a set amount of mana. This will allow us to put an exact number on that."
We each had to go up and touch the crystal ball. I was able to successfully hide my true power. It seems funny that these humans think mana is a fixed state. This is the ranking:
Cale= 11,000 mp
Shiro= 9,500 mp
Krung= 9,000 mp
Me= 8,000 mp
Cinthia= 5,000 mp
Galion= 3,000 mp
Sakura= 10 mp
The king and princess started off by showing us what there power ratings were. They were quite proud until we did ours. The Pretty boy Cale is now acting haughty and almighty now. However everything seemed to stop when Sakura went last and did hers. Her number showed up and even she was down heartened.
The King is now filled with scorn towards her openly and the princess every time she glances at her, her face fills with a disgusted look even if only for a fraction of a second.
Galion: "Well... Maybe you have some secret talent for the sword rather than magic. Its truly a pity though. We got one bad egg out of the batch. O well, you can't win them all. Even the lowest of serfs has at least 100 mp. *sigh*"
We were then given a schedule for some training. First light to noon is sword training and martial arts. After lunch they head to learn magic for a few hours around 4 o'clock they then learn history of the world until dinner. After dinner is self training in the areas that you deem lacking. 1 week of this passed and the one definitely trying her hardest was of course Sakura trying to keep up in any way possible. Sadly though she was lacking in any sort of skill for anything.
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
She did not have the physical abilities to sword train; probably due to her injuries and scarring. It was found out that when she changed her clothes. The accompanying female that went with her came screaming and crying out. The reason being the horrible condition of Sakura's body has scared her. One of her boobs has apparently been completely cut off. Sakura's body has infected wounds, horrible burns throughout a majority of her middle body, whipping marks and scarring across her back, there are also some wounds that look to be attempted suicides. Marks around her neck and wrists suggests such acts.
Regardless though this did not change the disgust in the Kings eyes. No in fact from finding out about her body and the lack of talent she possesses. He has decided to abandon all hope that she is at any point going to be useful. The "Heroes" even treat her like trash as well. Especially the pretty boy Cale. He tells her that she is to ugly to be apart of his harem and that she is useless. So he has been constantly beaten her up at any point he could. Krung has also taken up such actions torturing Sakura.
Shiro once saw such actions and tried to stick up for her, but the princess and King has told him it is a natural part of this world. That if you do not have mana where ever you go will be just as bad. After a few times of convincing Shiro finally just turns a blind eye to the tortures of her. I never did anything to help. Nor did I do anything to her I just watched her suffering from a distance.
Finally what happened is that the mages of the royal court finally gained permission to experiment on her to "attempt" to help find out the reason behind her low mana. Thus they took her and seemingly disappeared from the world. No longer could you sense there mana or hers on this planet.
The mages have made a pocket dimension to slow down time so they can experiment longer in here. I though was still able to watch everything they did. I concentrated and was able to mix between my eyes 1 eye is normal watching the world that the heroes are in, in normal time. The other eye was watching everything in the pocket dimension. Apparently it was moving at 100 times the normal rate. Every hour in this world is 100 that passed in there.
I watched them as they grafted some sort of ring to her hands. When I traced the magic I found out that it was a ring of High Regeneration. No matter what they did to her any wounds that she received will be healed within 30 seconds of receiving them. They started with different drug experiments on her. Seemingly killing her over and over again by doing them.
Later they started experimenting with magic on her casting different buffs. Then they moved to attack magic that affected her. Lightning attacks, Fire balls, dark magic, holy attacks, wind, etc. etc. They did anything and everything they could to her. In order to stimulate her magic is the excuse made in a later report.
After drug experimentation and magic based experiments. They now moved to physical stimulation. They started by doing the bamboo shoot to remove finger nails and toe nails. Then after that healed they opened up the fingers and destroyed the bone inside. Making the finger dangle until it healed thanks to the miraculous regeneration ring. I traced the magic to see how many of these this kingdom has. Seems they only have 5: 1 for Sakura, 1 for the King, 1 for the princess, 1 on the trainer or general not sure which he is. The last one is somewhere below the castle if I have to venture a guess it would be in the vault room.
During the extraneous physical tortures Sakura tried killing herself many times. By choking herself out with her own blood. Biting off her own tongue. Even tried bashing her head against the table she lays on. All attempts failed horribly. After a while they finally completed all tests that they wanted too. They needed to get back to work. All together about 800 hours of continuous torture happened. In the span of 8 hours in normal realm.
She was then taken in front of the king and princess. The report was given that nothing changed, but they actually learned some new techniques to harm and heal along the way. They sentenced Sakura to be of some use. Since she was so below average in looks and scarred. They deemed her to be a Slave Whore. Meaning she is a slave to even the slaves meant to only please them.
She fought hard against the sentence to no avail. She didn't have the strength or the mana to go against the orders. She doesn't even have the strength to resist slaves either. She didn't wanna go back to that life. In her last world it was the same. She was raised to be exactly that. She ran away when she was told they were going to cut off her feet in honer of her position. You don't need feet to be a whore they said.
In her old world when she ran away another man was tasked with finding her. That man was the man that was supposed to get summoned. When the man was beating her and torturing her almost to death, but never there she saw salvation in the form of the magic circle that formed under her torturers feet. She thought it would kill her. No, She hoped it would. So, she 'saved' him from whatever magic it was. She was summoned thinking her life would enter a new chapter a better chapter. Sadly all her hopes were crushed when she learned she had no mana and no talent.
Then she suffered massive amounts of pain and torture it was unbearable. Nothing has changed she was sure of it her life is cursed by some god. Even more so when she was told that she would be a whore once again.
She was transported out of the city to a little building that looks crappily made. On it is a new sign being translated is "Slave Whore" "Give your slaves a little rest as well. Reward them so they don't rebel".
Sakura: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed and cried. The guards escorting her just laugh at her. They chained her into the room and cut off her feet. When her feet regenerated they just shrugged laughed some more and placed a dagger nearby her.
She grabbed it as soon as they left and tried to cut her arms and legs off from the chains. Sadly no matter how hard she tried she couldn't destroy her bones quick enough before her regeneration healed her. She then tried to destroy her brain hoping it would just end her life. She stabbed then just passed out healing 30 seconds later, but she doesn't wake up until. I walk in the room she starts shivering when I walk in and she woke up. She thinks her life is now bound to this fate.
Xerkzin: "I have seen all that has been done to you. Including the torture in the pocket dimension. The heroes are boasting of there power, Cale wants to make a harem and is slowly succeeding. Krung is always training and has gone out showing his power to kill things. The pure one who tried helping you, Shiro, is solving other problems. They are all gaining fame in some way or another."
Xerkzin: "I have the power to help you. Under a couple conditions..."
Sakura: "I accept as long as you actually have the power to do so."
Xerkzin: "I have not even told you the conditions."
Sakura: "I don't care about the conditions. They could not be worse than what I have already been through."
Xerkzin: "Hahhaha! True... very true. Well might as well state them while performing the ceremony. That will be the only chance you have to reject." I slowly begin making a ritual circle around her made from my own blood. "Condition one, you will be taken as my wife. You will not be allowed to love another. Condition two, your soul ... you will not be allowed to be either good nor evil. If you attempt to I will be forced to stop you."
Sakura: "You would actually take me to be your wife? and the second part is as you deem evil and good are superficial anyway."
Xerkzin: "Yes, I will take you as my first and last wife. I have never been interested in another in such a way as I am towards you. Your soul and resilience towards corruption interests me greatly."
Sakura: "First and only? Someone as ugly and scarred as me?"
Xerkzin: "Looks are superficial. In-fact I have long forgotten what I even originally look like. I can heal all of your wounds and teach you the spell Polymorph if you join me. I will show and teach you the truth of the world. The balance of life that must be preserved. I will introduced the two sides of the coin. Will you join me knowing I will take you as my wife?"
Sakura: "Do you have the power?"
Xerkzin then unleashes a barrier to prevent prying eyes. Then unleashed 10% of his power and told the absolutely shocked and fearful Sakura that it was only 10%. She immediately believed him. He destroyed her chains ripped the ring off of her which she grimaced to. Then he healed her body to full her destroyed limbs and boob scars everything healed. She felt better than she has ever remembered. Then he took a knee and put the ring of regeneration back on her hand. This time on the ring finger of the left hand.
The ring itself has been changed imbued with more magic than ever before. The looks also changed into a beautiful rune etched ring.
Xerkzin: "Now for the soul sharing ceremony this will tie our souls together. Allowing telepathic communication between the two of us. It also allows me to send you power when ever I want. This is my marriage ceremony. We will share emotions and I can even send you some memories if you like. You can also do the same. That being said it can not be forced. So if you planned to betray me it will not work in your benefit. Let's me show you what I mean. Who do you want dead?"
Sakura: "I... I wish for no one to die. No matter what anyone did to me."
Xerkzin: "Hahaha! Truly you are the one that I need. Then let's be off then time to meet the King and tell him of our departure."
We finished up the ceremony with each of us feeling bound to each other. There was a wedding tattoo that was placed on either of our backs as well. The mark was an image of each of us on each others back. I have an image of her on my back and she has mine on her back. I made a mirror to show her the effects and image of the tattoo. I changed what I looked like for a second. Her image glowed on her back and changed accordingly. Also she also instinctively knew I was that person still. I made some extravagant outfit for her to wear too. With her new looks she looked very good. Her hair was long and straight black now. Her face was decently cute now that there was no scars to mare it.
We walked out of the 'shack' if it could even be called that. The guards that were supposed to be standing there are no where to be found. They we walked with her wrapped around my arm heading toward the castle. We got quite a few looks. The heroes that were training also gave a look then followed us into the castle. The pretty boy now trying to actively hit on Sakura.
When we entered the castle throne room the Galion and Cinthia were sitting on their thrones. Looking curiously at the two of us.
Galion: "Why have you requested to speak with us?"
Xerkzin: "I have come to inform you that I have taken Sakura here as my wife. I healed her and gave her clothes. I am here to inform you that now we are leaving your kingdom."
Galion, Cinthia, and Cale in unison: " THAT IS SAKURA?!"
Sakura: "Yes, I am thank you for your..... hospitality King Galion."
Galion red faced: "You dare take our slaves whore... their entertainment! What have you for compensation?"
Xerkzin calmly: "Absolutely nothing. I have the power to take her and you have no say in the matter. That is it, I only came to inform you who have summoned me. That I will not be joining your side. Goodbye."
Galion: "Heroes! Attack that man kill him! Guards!"
I laugh at him then I told Sakura that I will be using her body for a bit and she agreed. I used her to fend off the guards. Using her body I imbued it with power she quickly slew all the guards that charged us. Then I used her to fend off Cale and Krung who went to attack me. Shiro just stayed off to the side. He apparently didn't believe we did anything wrong. She was able to easily subdue Cale and Krung without killing them. I couldn't have the balance be destroyed just in case.
Galion and Cinthia: "IMPOSSIBLE! SHE HAS NO MAGIC HOW CAN SHE BE THIS STRONG?!"
Xerkzin: "You are lucky that I do not know the balance of the world correctly at this time. If I did you would probably be dead. Like I said Goodbye."
I then teleported Sakura and I away. Leaving to meet the demon lord of this world to learn his side of the story. Beginning mine and Sakura's life together. Ooo the angry, shocked, and fearful faces of everyone in that room was delicious.

Author: Thank you so much for reading let me know how I did making a story like this. Please check out my other story I am working on called: Those You Don't Notice. Sorry for not going into details to much on tortures and the like. I just didn't want to write to much. Maybe if I feel up to it I may do a more detailed job or even pick this up and run some more with it. Depends. Any who thank you for reading.
