"I'm sorry to hear that. But who betrayed you?"

Jin asked as he nodded his head with realization and intrigue. 

....

[He was the strongest general of mine]

....

[The Fallen Angel...]

.....

[Lucifer]

.....

"Lucifer... Ah... Him?... If I remember it right, then I read in the history books that he was loved all around The Earth... Haha... He even had a famous TV series in the name of Lucifer... and people used to love it!!" 

[Him?... Makes me laugh...]

"Hm Hm" 

......

[*Cough* Ehem... This is for informative purposes only, but was there a TV series about the Demon Lord by any chance? I repeat, only for informative purposes]

"Hm?..."

Jin couldn't stop himself from thinking opposite to that of the demon lord's intention. 

"Heheheh... Right... I totally get you. Of course, there was. Actually, there were many anime series about The Demon Lord" 

[I Win! *Cough* That's one great piece of information to hear.]

.....

"Hm Hm... Hahaha... Go on with your flashback please"

Jin chuckled. 

[Alright... where was I... Ah, Yes]

*Shifts To Narrative Voice*

[I fell before heaven as I saw my people being obliterated... and as a last resort... I sacrificed my body to transport my generals and the very few of them who were left to the human world, to our main fuel source... It's in my doubt that even Lucifer might be here in this world]

"So that explains, the recent increase in demon possessed hunters!!. Man, It makes so much sense now!!..."

[Yes, It does]

[They thought I died... But they misjudged me. I was the Demon Lord for a reason. I somehow managed to escape from Hell with the very little life essence I possessed and imprisoned myself as the life core inside your school toilet...]

[The Angels were in pursuit of my remaining life essence but I managed to escape them]

[Now don't ask me why I chose the toilet... At first, I didn't know, I thought your toilet carried some sort of unique defense mechanism that hid my whereabouts from the Angel Generals...]

[But after you explained about the world to me I came to know that those 'Joule Breakers' were able to hide my identity from the Angel Generals. Even though I was level 666 as per human terms. But because I didn't have a host, I was counted as a null object]

"Hmmm. So that explains why it suddenly showed Level 666 on the system window. So it wasn't my Level... Instead, it was yours?... So that's why your powers worked inside my school even though the 'Joule Breakers' were enabled because I was for that moment Level 666"

[Yes I think so]

"Which means... I have two systems..."

[Yes it does indicate in the direction to your claims]

"So was that why you were able to level up my real system??" 

[Bingo!... But I do lose my levels corresponding to the levels I hand over to you]

"Aha... Makes sense. So you were Level 666 and if I subtract 25 levels from that then that'll give you 641. You are Level 641 now"

[Yes, You are correct. I hope you aren't expecting more of the levels from my side. Now as it stands, I can't hand you over levels for the time being because that'll make me lose my already weak power] 

"You don't have to worry about that. You are Level 641 now, which means you are the strongest entity on this planet. But to use that you need a perfect host. And for me to become perfect, I'll have to level up by myself and gain experience in controlling my power."

[Exactly]

"So what's our Goal... Demon Lord?. We've got to have a goal to achieve right?" 

[Ah Yes... I do have a plan.]

"Let's hear it then"

[I had planned on taking revenge... but I think it would only worsen the situation between us Demons and Angels.]

[First, what I need you to do is to survive and find out other demon possessed hunters. If you can defeat them, then I can leech the demon out of the hunter's body and increase my demonic spirit. Like that, If I can hit my maximum and get back to my prime form, then I can return to hell and resuscitate my people]

"Ah... What comes second then?"

[Second, Find why God went against his words. I don't know why, but I think there's more to the incident than meets the eye. But I won't have to concern you about it. That will be my trouble to solve.]

"All right... So finding the demon possessed hunters is what I have to do. Got it! Goal No.1 here we come"

[Hmm. I'm impressed with how good you are at dealing with things. Okay, I've decided it.]

"Decided what?"

Jin asked, perching his eyebrows analogously into two inverted tick marks. 

[If my calculation is exact, then for every demon I leech, I might receive 50+ levels... Out of which, I'll gift you 5 levels. I see your dedication to help me and get stronger on your own. But this gift will be the only thing I'll be able to offer to you in the long run so accept it.]

"Umm... Okay. If it's 5 levels for a demon then it's okay. A little boost wouldn't hurt. But there are still some questions that are lingering inside me"

Jin grabbed his chin as he replied. 

[We've got time don't we?. Go on, I'm all ears]

"This is going to be a silly question but I want to hear the answer from your mouth... If demons could control a hunter's body then as a demon lord why didn't you control mine?"

[Well about that. Remember the incident at City Plasma? It's my guess, but I think that demons cannot completely possess a human. If a demon can possess a human, then the demonic power clashes with that of the hunter's and goes haywire]

"Hm, that's decent, then to the second question. I was able to use your Level 666 powers. Does that mean, I can use it under my will because you have now accepted me as your host?"

[That is possible, Yes. But I will have to warn you that the powers I wield might be a bit too overbearing for a human. But if you can slowly comprehend and control my demonic powers, then I am sure that you'll be able to at least control and use 30% percent of my power under your will in a month or two]

[You controlling 100% of my powers, Is for the time being, way out of the picture. Unless you exhibit convincing results. But let me say one thing to you. With the potential you carry of now, you'll be able to control all of my strength, Yes.]

[In conclusion, As I am another system hidden inside you, I can assure you that you can use my powers under your will.]

[But what troubles me is that my existence will be revealed to the hunters around the world and might even reach the Angel Generals.] 

[So I'll advise you to use it only during life threatening situations. Utilize it carefully and be knowledgeable, which I know you are]

"Aha!! I understand. So that was why the hunter was able to find me in this school. Because I used your power."

Jin exclaimed. 

"Then that means, I can hide your existence as well!" 

Jin chuckled.

[How do you plan on doing that?]

The Demon's voice came out as if he was sitting on the edge of whatever he was sitting on. 

"Easy!. The hunter was able to find me because I used your powers, by your powers I mean, I used you AS A SYSTEM!" 

Jin shook his head with his hands open before him.

[OOOH]

"Yes! Now that I have an 'ACTIVE' system of my own within me, they'll only get satellite readings of a 'Hunter' in the reports and not as a 'Demon Possessed Anomaly' which is depicted by the fluctuation of Mana."

"And for your information, I sadly haven't unlocked my mana stat yet... I've been trying to figure about it for some time"

Jin rubbed his chin yet again. Thinking as if a scholar would while staring at the stars.

[You think so well... How are you so Mature?]

"Huh?... Isn't it obvious?. I'm a reincarnated immortal of the wuxia world. I can *pow* one shot any mortal or God that defies my words"

[... I'll take my words back, alright]

"Hehe. Just kidding. I've been waiting to do this from the day I read a wuxia novel. It's still a mystery for me as to how the MC could let out something this cringe to his opponent."

[Oh?...]

"But I love them for how cool and cringe they sound at the same time. It's the face slapping for me though"

Jin went on with his words. 

"Like the MC's always go... I'm an Immortal!!. Hey you thot!!, tremble before my presence and witness this heaven defying move of mine"

*Proceeds to Floss Dance* 

The Demon Lord would've, without a doubt, suicided at Jin's stupidity if it wasn't for his senses warning him.

.......

'I GET IT!!'

'I know what he's trying to do!!'

'This boy... he's a genius!!'

The Demon Lord thought as his senses caught hold of an ominous presence behind them.

Someone had perched upon the tree a few meters away from them, scanning their movements. 

It was without a doubt. 

A Hunter.

........

  • Hunters Royale   On Par With God

    Almost 500 years ago...In The God's Palace."God!!, He has breached our Palace. The Angel Generals are fighting off his minions" A Soldier who wore shining silver armor scurried towards a figure who sat on a throne astonishingly bigger than everything except the palace itself. He held his silver sword in his hands, but his face was twisted with fear and terror that he couldn't maintain his stance. He, the soldier, scurried towards the man who seemed like he existed before time.But just as he reached the throne, the palace door blew open and many other soldiers came blasting and tumbling into the smooth polished floor. All of them were missing heads. A red shapeless form sauntered through the pile of dead bodies, the esoteric figure had a wide, pitch black grin on its formless surface which seemed like its face. "So you haven't given up yet..." The man who sat on the throne stood up as he spoke, but paused as he peered into the form. The red formless figure halted its path to

The seatings were made out of stone and mica on which plump cushions consisting of enough mitigation to rest the spine and the neck were added.Presently, the coliseum was bustling with students and teachers alike. Seats were not a problem at all as the number of seats crossed the limit of 10,000. All of them peered into the figures who stood on the arena floor below them......The event which was transpiring currently inside the coliseum was just what everyone had been waiting for. An event that took place every year on the day of the annual festival. The Annual Battle between the various divisions of the 12th grade!!One class could select the best three students in the class to fight against the other class representatives. The

    Jin's vision escalated as it shifted... It shifted from Toby's appalled face, met the LED tube lights on the ceiling, and ultimately rolled back into darkness as a huge spurt of pain burst behind his head. ....."Nooooooo!!!!!!" Jonathan was yelling beside him when Jin's eyes fluttered open. His vision was still in its listless advance as he only saw a blur of a figure beside him. "Jonathan... I am okay" Jin uttered, he did not prefer to be the spur of concern for his pals. "SHUT UP!! FUCKER!!" "Eh" "YOU FRIGGIN BROKE THE URINAL... HOW ARE WE GONNA PAY FOR THIS?""EH!!??"Jin's face contorted as his eyes came upon the shattered piece of the urinal that Jonathan pointed towards. "Was I the only one who got stunned by his cry?? Like what the fuck? My head here almost broke open and he's blaming me for the motherfucking urinal??..." Jin bellowed at Toby who was beside him, leaning on his knees and gawking at him in shock."Bruh seriously?? For the friggin urinal??"Jin ignored

    Multiple sounds echoed through the corridor as Jin, Toby, and Jonathan shuffled through the marble floor. All three of them were glued to each other in a tug of war of collars and ties. Toby and Jonathan, synonymous with disgruntled bulls, lobbed haphazard qualms at the blonde who was clamped in between. Every individual utterance amassed the volume of a Prima Divo as it thundered and ricocheted off the walls of the hallway they were walking on. "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU LEVEL 666!!""I DON'T KNOW TOBY!!.""BUT YOU WERE GOING TO TELL US SOMETHING TO US WEREN'T YOU??""YES JOE!!""THEN WAS IT ABOUT YOU BEING A MONSTER OF LEVEL 666??""YES!?? WHAT?!

  • Hunters Royale   Demon Lord

    "AAAAAAAAAAAAA" Jin's scream ricocheted off the walls of the quadrangle. His system was uttering some mad sense inside him. The Demon Lord?? Like what??!!. [Okay, enough with the screaming, brat] Jin went silent, like the deep and husky voice inside him told him to do so. It just crossed his mind that if by any chance, the system was actually the demon lord, then it would be better for him to listen to it first before deducing a conclusion. It was also not the sole reason why he went mute. Jin was 17 and almost 3 months away from becoming an adult. It was high time that he terminated his reckless and irrational temperament and for the time being, make an effort to focus on putting the scattered pieces together. 'I have to stop being like those stupid MCs in the novel... I gotta stop!!' 'But how even in the first place did this... Demon Lord... possess my system??' Jin fell into a trance of thoughts as he peered into the roof above him. The deep, husky inside him had also stoppe

Now as it stood, the demon lord was somehow inside him, that too as his system. All the poor Jin remembered was slipping and banging his head on the urinal, just to blackout and find out that his system was taken over. [Oi... Oi brat!!!]The demon bellowed inside him, snapping Jin out of his running thoughts. "Ah... Okay, Okay!!. I'll tell you about our world then"Jin replied, thinking that responding to the demon within him would be much better than erratically raising a question and disputing the demon lord's question. It was the DEMON LORD after all. He had to be careful with his words. [That would be better brat... I wouldn't have asked you if the

Just as he confirmed every part of him was free of the hunter's touch he deactivated his Phantom Persona. "Time to use your powers against you!!" Jin roared as he zeroed the distance between the shocked hunter within a second.Theo put his hands up in defense expecting a hard punch from Jin's side. Jin, on the other flank, faked to his left, he introduced his left leg forward at first, as if striving to swing and land a devastating right hook to connect with Theo's Jaw. "Wrecker's Morph"Jin growled as he spoofed one of the Diamond Hunter's skills.Theo, whose eyes were wide in surprise as he heard the boy speak, and who thought his defense would work was dumbfounded as Jin planted his right leg a few meters away from the hunter's feet. With a sudden twist of his body, Jin performed a 360 before landing a rib breaking tornado kick to the hunter'

    Why?...He actually had forgotten to deactivate his system.And...For the past 15 minutes... He has been... 'LEVEL 45'. ....To reach the mountain top, Jin would have to cover an entire distance of 2 kilometers, all while outrunning a Diamond Tier Hunter. It would have been impossible... HONESTLY IMPOSSIBLE. If it wasn't for his Level 45 legs and speed.Now that Jin had a jump start and the knowledge of his foe's HEQ... It was a piece of cake. His legs hurt... Of course, they would. It was the first time he was going all out with the new power that he still had to comprehend. It was a miracle to him that he managed to successfully jump past the fence. Now what he had to do, was to regulate his powers to the maximum he could and run towards the top. All he had to do was run at a speed that the Diamond Tier Hunter couldn't follow. It didn't have to be Insanely high because Jin knew the hunter behind him was bad at running. Because the HEQ of the man was 'Wrecking Ball'. Fro

The window, which he was trying to sneak off to, was directed to the school's backyard, and the electrical fence, which if cleared, will directly lead to the mountain trail. But what stood like a wall before him was the possibility of him escaping before getting caught by the Diamond Tier Hunter.
