2024-10-29 19:42:56Slowly, Max's eyelids began to blink until they were fully opened, his body felt heavy and his head was in pain. He got up slowly from the floor and touched his head carefully to see if there are any injuries.
'Why do I feel pain in my head but I don't feel any injury on it? And my chest....the wounds are gone!" He thought to himself and yelled inwardly, he was stunned to see that the deep wounds in his chest are all gone, leaving the place smooth and clean.
Just as he tried to get up, he tilted his head to the other side and was shocked to see someone lying comfortably on his bed.
"Wh-who are you? And how did you get in here?" He asked with a stammer. By now he was already on his feet but he dared not go anywhere close to the figure.
The figure Max was talking to simply yawned and stretched before sitting in an upright position. "Of a truth, I have never slept so soundly and peacefully in all my life as a Demon Lord," the figure who was a man with a masked face said. He caressed the bed with a wide grin on his face and shook his head continuously, "This bed is simply the best I've seen so far. Kid, where in the world did you get this because I've never seen this type in the whole demon realm."
As the man spoke, Max kept placing his hand on his forehead and neck to check his body temperature. "I am certainly fine but why do I feel like I'm hallucinating?" he asked out to the hearing of the man who chuckled and stood up. Max seeing the man's movement also began to move backwards until his back hit the wall, "D-Don't come near me please," he gulped and pleaded with his forehead already covered in tiny drops of sweat.
"I'm not trying to scare you kid, I just want to help you remember some events of last night, nothing else," the man said as he approached Max. When he got close enough to him, he flicked his forehead causing him to yelp.
"Ouch! what was that for?" He asked as he glared at the man.
"I had to do it this way because it's the only way. Close your eyes and try to recollect the things that happened last night before you lost consciousness."
After glaring at the man for a while, Max decided to do what he was asked to. He shut his eyes and began to remember the last night's events. "How he was beaten and battered by the boy, how he got into his room with a series of cuts on his chest, how he was on the verge of dying and lastly how he was engulfed in a strange light. Everything played like a movie in his head and when he was done, he opened his eyes to look at the man only to find him lying back on his bed.
Max wanted to complain about the man's audacity but decided against it. "Were you the one that I saw last night?" he asked instead and the man nodded. "Did you save me?""Of course, I did. If not me, who else would do that?" The man asked and shook his head. To him, that isn't the most important question at the moment but instead of asking a relevant question, the boy kept asking irrelevant ones.
"Who are you then?... I mean how did you get here?" Max asked with a creased brow.
"That is it! This should be your question and not the other way round," the man said with a beaming smile, he stopped smiling and became serious. "As I said before, I am a Demon Lord and my name is Damon. I came here to help you because I've been watching you for a long time now and I have seen your sufferings and pains, I was only waiting for the right moment to aid you and it just came yesterday. I have given you a gift and that gift, is making you my successor but in the meantime, you won't be able to become the next demon lord considering how weak you are and that is why I have given you a system that will help grow, evolve and become powerful...." the demon lord Damon stopped talking as he saw the confused look on the boy's face, he silently waited to be asked some questions because he believed that the boy will undoubtedly ask him one or two.
"So how do I operate the system?" Max suddenly asked after a moment of silence and to the shock of the man.
"Huh, what did you say?" Damon asked in shock. This wasn't what he was expecting from the boy, not even at this point.
"I said how do I make use of the system or isn't it functioning?" Max asked again, this time a little more serious than he was before.
"Just a word and everything will appear before your eyes," Damon replied.
"What word?" Max asked impatiently.
"System! Say it inwardly and it'll appear before your eyes, right now I need to go...Duty calls! But I hope you become strong quickly, I'm getting pretty old already," Damon said and disappeared immediately, leaving no traces behind.
Max silently watched the man disappear and when he was gone, he let out a relieved sigh and thought 'system' in his head.

"This is awesome!" Max sad out loud as he stared at the blue transparent window before his face. Though his stats were low, he still felt happy. Just like the stats bar, he saw other bars such as the skills bar, evolution bar and quest bar. He directly thought about the skills bar with every ounce of expectations in his eyes but what he saw made him drop his shoulders in disappointment.
<<Skills Bar>>
<<Skills to unlock: Empty>>
<<Skills Point: Empty>>
"My skill bar is empty, that means I have nothing yet but even at that, I'm not complaining, I will be patient with it," Max said reassuringly and moved to the next bar.
<<Evolution bar>>
<< Empty>>
"Everything is locked, let's move on to quest," he said and thought 'quest' in his head.<<Quest bar>>
<<Main Quest: Reach Level 10>>
<<Reward: Locked>>
<<Daily Quest: 500 press-ups and 500 sit ups>>
<<Duration: Every morning For Two weeks>>
<<Reward: 5XP For Each morning>>
"Isn't the system a bit stingy with rewards?" Max asked with creased brows. "Who am I to complain? I'll do it, still!" A smile crept up to his face as he imagined how powerful he is going to be soon. As long as this system gives him an ability just like other kids, he wouldn't mind if it belongs to a demon or even a devil.
"Time to start my quests!" He said as a grin appeared on his face.

Upon hearing the question, Max's heart skipped. He stared at the faces of the boys and he could see anger written all over them, they glared at him silently, waiting to hear from him.'Didn't that old geezer say that he has taken care of everything? Why are they suddenly asking me that, fuck! I'm doomed' he thought to himself as he kept staring at the four boys."Hey, you ain't saying anything here. We are asking you a question and you are silent, have you suddenly become deaf?" One of the boys with red dreadlocks asked. He among the four boys is the tallest and seemed to be the leader of the trio."I- I don't know what you guys are talking about," Max replied, trying his best to act normal whereas his heart kept pounding faster than normal."Kelvin, I told you...there is no point asking him about that. We all know that by the time we came, he had left and Nat was all alone. We should go visit him later at the clinic instead of wasting our precious

His chest kept rising and falling with no plans of stopping, veins bulged out of his head as his face was filled with anger."Fuck the awakening stone! Fuck the school! Fuck this goddam system! It's so useless!" He screamed at the top of his voice. He could not believe what happened earlier even though it was still vivid in his head.-----Max stood at the centre of the hall with his hand on the awakening stone.

My Overlord Demon System Yet, Another Failure
Max's heart began to beat rapidly again and he quickly withdrew his hand and turned around slowly. Upon seeing the person who had just walked in, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and did an imaginary sign of the cross."Oh, it's you? What are you doing here by this time?" Max asked the person who in turn gazed at him in confusion."Am I not the one supposed to be asking you that?" The boy asked in return and walked to the bed. After checking Nat's body and making sure he was fine, he turned to Max and stared deeply at him. "Now tell me, what are you doing here and by this time?""I-..... Of course, I came to see him. I don't know what happened to him or who did this to him so I thought it would be nice if I visit him," Ma replied, sounding in the best of his cool."At night?" The boy asked with a raised brow. Why would he come at night time to see Nat?! It's very suspicious, however, he could not accuse the boy yet

He suddenly said out loud causing the students to stare at him in confusion."Is he mad already or something?" A student asked and no one had the exact answer to his question, they were all confused."Hey, the hell is wrong with you? I just saved your ass and you can't show some appreciation!" Harry said. He was upset at Max's sudden behaviour."Thank you but I didn't beg to be saved...I need that thing on my chest, two of it on my chest or my reward will be gone," Max replied pointing to the ball of flames."Are you okay?" Harry asked in confusion. He was here to eat some breakfast when he saw the ball of flames dashing towards Max, out of instinct he rushed and caught it before it slammed on his chest.

With wide eyes and opened mouths, everyone watched as the same dark fogs that had disappeared before reappeared again. This time it was behind Kelvin who still had his eyes fixed on Max, he heard everyone scream his name but before he could process anything, it was already late. The dark fogs formed into some long claws and began to tear on his skin. Screams filled the air as Kelvin began to run around the duelling ground, as he ran, the claws followed him as well, tearing on his skin and causing his clothes to be dyed red.As blood gushed out from his body, he began to get weak. He got weak to the extent that he could no longer walk and so he fell to the ground, helpless. No one came to help him, everyone watched as strength sipped out of him gradually, yet, no one made an attempt to help him. Not even Matt who wanted so badly to be his friend. It was as if the world had left him to die, that he was insignificant. From where he was lying down, a tear dropped from his eye then followe

"I hate people like you the most!" He said coldly, causing Kelvin to turn around despite the pains on his back."Y-you....!" Kelvin shuddered, he didn't know what to say, he was confused, shocked and angry at the same time. Yet, he could not do a thing, he could only point at Max with hostility.Max seeing the anger on Kelvin's face beamed, he tilted his head to take a better look at Kelvin's face then without saying a word, he stood up.

"You are to begin after the count of five," Kelvin said, sounding like an official referee. The two opponents nodded in understanding and Kelvin began his count."1""2""3" "4""5""BEGIN!"After the count, Kelvin quickly gave them some space by moving closer to the wall of the duelling ground. Max and Nat both took a fighting stance opposite each other, with their whole attention fixed on themselves. The noisy crowd became quiet as the time they all have been waiting for has finally arrived, their eyes and whole senses on the two boys on the duelling ground, no one wanted to miss any action."Hey, I won't take it easy on you so you better do the same," Nat said as a warning and clasped his hands together.'It's not time for me to show them my demon powers or I'll be in danger, I'll have to follow Zheren's idea even though I would want to beat the crap out of him' Max thought inwardly as he braced himself for whatever Nat was about to do.From Nat's clasped palms, particles of ligh

There Will Be No Room For Failure
Max stormed inside the room and then slumped on his bed, his face was squeezed and his fists were clenched. Zheren also walked inside the room after some time, he glanced at Max and seeing his angry face could not help but sigh. He understood how he felt at the moment because he too had been in the same situation before. Nevertheless, he walked to Max and sat close to him, placing a hand on his shoulder he comforted him as a friend would — This was what Max needed at a time like this, a reminder that he has a friend who believes in him and will stand by him.After some time of comforting, Max calmed down. His face returned to its normal mood and his rising chest completely fell. Thanks to Zheren who knew how to use words just perfectly. After Zheren fell asleep because he mentioned that he was sleepy, Max took a shower because he knew how bad he smelled. After that, he wore light clothes and left the room after glancing at the Zheren.When he got outside, he began to make his way tow

Not Worthy Of Being Called A friend
"Kelvin, you guys have to hurry to the dorms, Nat and Max are about to fight!" A student yelled as he saw Kelvin, Harry and Matt."Max?""Max?"Harry and Kelvin asked in unison, the shocked expression on their faces could not be hidden. "How is that possible?" Kelvin asked in incredulity as he turned to Harry for an answer."We should go and check it out first," Harry replied and ran off. Part of him was overjoyed while the other part was in doubt, Max couldn't be back from the portal and alive. Nevertheless, he ran to the dorms and when he got there, he saw the crowd of students had already gathered around and mumbling hell knows not to themselves.Harry made his way through the crowd of students until he got to the front, where he saw Max being pushed to the wall by Nat.

Nat Is Awake
Zheren led Max through the dark hallway until they got to another building. Then he suddenly stopped and turned around causing Max to almost fall. "Max, I don't know how you were able to do it but I want to say thank you for bringing me back to life and for healing me. Damon said I am now a demon, it came as a shock to me considering my status before but I do not mind that again," Zheren said in a low voice then let out an inaudible sigh."I did what I had to do so you don't have to be like that, besides you saved me," Max replied with a slight smile on his face. "About the demon stuff, well I happened to be favoured by Damon and so I was able to turn into a demon, I guess it was a bit of luck that I was able to bring you back to life. As you have seen, I am not yet strong enough which explains why I fainted. By the way, how many days have I been asleep?" "Two days I guess," Zheren replied to Max's shock."Two days? Hell! I need to return to school," Max said as he remembered someth

Max closed his eyes still and tried to fully fix his attention on the dark energies around him. He may not know why the system requests that he absorb the energies but one thing is for sure and that is his desire to get stronger. After some time, he opened his inner eyes and he could see the dark energies and how they were raging around his soul. It was like they wanted to tear his soul apart but something kept stopping them.Max channelled his mind to the energies and began to draw them to himself, the dark energies felt his presence and suddenly they gathered around and began to form until they formed into the shadow of a man."Are you strong enough to withstand my powers?" Max heard a voice ask him through the shadow of the man. He kept silent for some time as he didn't know if he could be able to do it. At the same time, be wanted to do it because of the rewards attached to it by the system."Yes, I can!" Max replied and without waiting for the shadow to reply to him, he gathere

Awake
"Who are you?" Asked Max with a curious look as he stared at the figure of a man who was standing not too far away from him. He was supposed to be startled by the appearance of the manly figure but surprisingly he wasn't, he felt as though they were connected somehow."My name is Yama," the man said calmly. His eyes glittered as he stared at Max. "Do you know me?" he added."I don't! I should be asking you that because you approached me yourself," Max said still with his gaze fixed on the man."If I am correct, you awakened the remaining part of me during your breakthrough. I am quite surprised to be honest, for a mere human to awaken me is something I never expected even when I was still asleep." Yama said, his voice filled with surprise."I awakened you?" Max asked in shock. 'That explains the strange voice I was hearing during...' he stopped his thoughts halfway and returned his gaze to Yama who was patiently waiting for him to ask questions. "Were you the one speaking through me?"
