Below the dull clouds and within the periphery of the tarred road, a school bus could be seen driving steadily on the tarred road. The road wasn't that filled with cars. And the speed at which the bus was moving could cause a traffic hold up.
"Look, Cyrus, my man, we made a deal, and you got work on your end."Cyrus, the slender male with dark hair and blue eyes, gulped, looking at the two boys sitting beside him. His eyes danced around and fell on his mission.'Mission: Tell Aisha to be your girlfriend, how hard could it be', Cy thought with a confident smirk.It all happened because of the damn math assignment. The nerd brain sitting at his left with a lens made sure he torments Cyrus, but looking at how Cyrus was all confident, he was beginning to think that it was some easy task.Aisha is the most popular girl and some say the most beautiful, so definitely she'll reject Cyrus and nerd brain would get to laugh because he had faced the same humiliation."Pft... That's easy, just to talk to a girl and say be my girlfriend. I do this all the time, so watch and learn"His friends were beginning to think maybe Cyrus had watched some rizz that could make a girl say yes instantly, but they still wanted to see how this all turned out.However, Cy's palms were already sweating and shaking as he sauntered towards the girl two seats ahead."Uuh, he's scared isn't he?""Pfft no way, you heard how confident he was just now, I hope he gets a big slap."One more little step and Cy would be in front of Aisha, but out of the bloom, a random student set his leg for Cyrus, causing him to stumble forward and fall with his face landing on Aisha's breast."Hahaha… Look, it's Cyrus the breast king, haha", muttered the one who had caused it.Cy's friends were shocked and thinking one thing... (Cyrus is Dead). However, when Cyrus abruptly removed his face from the fragrance of the silky breast, Aisha stood up with the cold look of a killer."I'm... I'm sorry", said Cyrus with a shaking voice, and his ears could tell his friends were laughing at the show.But all that came to an end when a humongous purple dark wormhole materialized in front of the bus. Everyone's attention was stolen by an awe-looking expression."What in the world is that?"The bus had stopped, and the driver went out to get a better view of what was in front of them. All the students were standing and murmuring with evident confusion."It's humongous… Like a black hole that feeds till eternity", said the nerd brain.Cyrus just kept his lock on the wormhole. At least thanks to that thing, Aisha wasn't minding him anymore.The driver wasn't the only one outside, the neighbors were out too and the ones driving on the same route were also outside to see this spectacle.Overall, some men were already telling the drivers to back off, but none of them were listening to a word he was saying."Please turn around and take some other route."In a flash... Voom! The school bus' tires scratched the surface and abruptly tumbled towards the wormhole.The students all screamed, and the pedestrians were all running for their lives. It was as if the world was facing upside down for the students inside the bus.And as the wormhole swallowed it up, the wormhole vanished like it was never there to begin with.—————On this side of the universe, having a clear sky, the wormhole appeared on top and vomited the bus, which began falling due to the laws of gravity.With a resounding Bam', the tires hit the hard ground and flat instantly, leaving the students who were confused and stumbling beside each other to navigate this new inhabitant."I think I've seen something like the castle before.", said Cyrus beneath his breath.Without any further Ado, a student opened the door and ran out, only to see this wasn't the usual modern world. They were in front of a humongous demon castle.At this point, everyone had gone outside to see things for themselves. "Seems like one of us is dreaming."And out of the obvious clear air, a purple light glowed and revealed an angel adorned in a black-white gown. She possessed four wings and two little wings covering her eyes."What is that thing?""It looks like an angel with a winged eye""Is it here to save us?"The classroom murmured, not masking the fact that they were in complete confusion, that is until the succubus queen spoke out."Humans... So tell me, puny mortals, who would like to know why you've been summoned here?"The angel asked a question and no one gave a response, causing her to look more like a fool talking to herself.She threw her eyes on the ten students and her winged eyes fell on one of them who was shivering behind the rest.She raised her finger pointing at the head of the student, and kaboom… The head exploded and before anyone could so much scream… She muttered."If I hear a morsel of screams, you'll all die like your weak friend over there... weakness is not tolerated in the demon army"'Army? Is she saying we're in a demon army? But... But I've never fought in my life before. I'm going to die. We're all going to die', thought Cyrus as he stared at this weak palm and slender structure.Cyrus and his friends were freaked out beyond freaking out, but they could do nothing but stare and watch the horrific scenery display."Now, now, let me ask again. So tell me, puny mortals, who would like to know why you've been summoned here?"This time, everyone raised their hands, causing a dark sinister grin to form at the lips of the angel."Okay, okay, fine... I'll tell you because you were all curious to know", said the angel, who could see how terrified they were.She glanced at them and turned to face the demon castle behind her, she pointed her finger at it and muttered the words that made Cyrus and half of the students stumble backward momentarily."But first, you'll have to survive four hours inside the demon castle."Those who fail to make it to the other side of the demon castle alive, then your weak existence would be cut short. A blue holographic screen materialized in front of them.The time starts now: [4 hours 0 minutes 0 Seconds]-[Quest: Survive till the time limit or kill the final boss of the demon castle]"We've been here summoned to die", muttered Cy.Just as the succubus queen had ordered, some of the students began sprinting at full speed towards the demon castle. Cy was about dashing off because he would rather die trying to survive than die doing nothing.But he stopped when he noticed Aisha was behind them and not wanting to participate."Hey, I know I'm not the best guy to say this but... Aren't you joining us?"Aisha's frightened face was still the most gorgeous thing Cy had ever encountered. She gave him the look of" I'm scared, Cy knew that look too well."I know you're scared, but at least let's try, and I promise I'll protect you", said Cyrus, stretching his hand out as Aisha slowly grabbed it and dashed off.The students arrived in front of the humongous golden black gate, some scared, some prepared, and others more than prepared."Alright guys, let's just open the door and stay there... No need to explore this place cuz it seems to have some demons in it."Flash, the guy who had caused Cy to fall against Aisha's breast
The group of students had walked for a time that could be deduced as half an hour, but no one could tell if modern time corresponds with the blue screen."What are you doing? Is that a GPS?", asked Lens Boy."Yeah man you caught me, I've been trying to find a route to our town", the student hit the head of the smartphone due to frustration."But no matter what, it keeps on telling me our town doesn't exist and if I check the location of this place it says invalid zone,"The Nerd brain touched the tip of his lens and gave a look at the smartphone. First, there was no internet connection, and who'd be expecting the internet in a cave with blue flames?"Can't help you, Isaac, I'm even beginning to think this place is hell", said Lens Boy, as he walked ahead of Isaac, the blonde-haired male.Meanwhile...Cy was sucking up the pain he felt, but that didn't matter at this point, he was feeling super comfortable because Aisha wrapped her hands around her shoulders.Not just that, Cy's hand wo
One minute, the group of students were inside the demon castle, and the next they saw themselves in a blurry state, and the next thing, they were outside the demon castle.Cy's shoulders had stopped bleeding, but his frame was still covered in blood. As the succubus demon angel had instructed, everyone began staring at the blue screen in front of them.They could scroll up and down to see someone else's skill, and on top of that, their skills were ranked from 1-8, with the highest rank being S-rank and the weakest E-rank.Ranks: {S rank, A rank, B rank, C rank, E rank}Cyrus couldn't believe what he was seeing. He was shocked, dumbfounded, stupified, and enraged. He kept on interchanging his glance between his screen and the angel.'I don't understand how got a skill like this one.'Overall, the rest of his classmates were rejoicing that they were not in last place, having skills like teleportation, cloak, and all.No one had seen Cyrus' skill yet, that is until he balled up and decide
In a desolate landscape surrounded by demons and angels, endless four-winged angels, the stage was already set for battle, and the purple clouds added to the eerie chaos."This all seems to be like a novel," said nerd with Cy by his side.They had arrived at what seemed to be a narrow corridor with red flames etched on the wall, and also the carvings on the wall were those of the beast and these angels. It was as if the carvings on the wall were replaying history in loop mode."At least we're starting from somewhere because I'm still clueless as to why we were summoned here."Nerd stared at the wall as if planning to see through it. "I think the mission is to destroy the world, the opposite of what characters in novels do."After staring at this part of the wall, they walked to face the next one.The war between the angels and demons terribly shocked the earth, with demons having the upper hand at some point.That is until an angel descended from the dark purple clouds. This one was si
The blade pierced his heart and stopped pumping. Cyrus fell to his knees and died with a red holographic screen visible only to him.- [Player Has been Killed For The First Time]- [Player Has Died]The guard grinned and removed his blade from Cy's heart. Staring at the girl, he muttered, "You've got magic, don't you? Tell us his heart is still beating."Just as the guard had said, the girl focused her hearing on Cy's heart, and her eyes widened. Cyrus was completely dead; his heart wasn't even flinching."Guess the system was wrong for once. There is no such thing as an instant rebirth," the guard said with a mocking tone as he began approaching the girl who bumped into the wall.However...Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thumpThey all heard it, not just the girl. They all heard the heart beating and pumping blood, and they could feel the red carpet vibrating.But it wasn't a big deal. If the guard could have killed Cyrus before, then he should have been able to do it again. Besides
"So let me get this straight. I go inside a dungeon and can only come out when the boss is dead, and also the dungeons connect with the angels' world, so if I see anyone I kill them."Cy summarized all that Alpha had told him. It wasn't a big deal and easy to remember, but Alpha wouldn't stop hugging his arm and saying "Bossie… You're so smart."The two of them were walking along the streets, heading towards a blue-black portal not far from the construction site up ahead.Overall, Cy got a chance to explore this new world, and from what he saw, there were no modern cars. This world had yet to invent things like that; the only vehicles were those with huge circles of steel tires (carts) with engines.The dress was a bit similar to that of his world, but almost everyone could be seen with armor and blades. There were no smartphones, but there was the telephone, and the buildings were a bit modern and tall too.'This feels like I'm living in the past,' thought Cy.Both of them came to a h
"I know you're both from the demons… So let's make this quick shall we?" said the angel.-[The Angel Has Recognized You Has An Enemy]-[Instant Quest: You Must Not Let Him Leave Alive]The angel grinned wider on top of the beast as he watched Cyrus face him. Apha was already cowering behind Cy."C.. Cy, he has a B-rank skill," muttered the alpha as she squeezed Cyrus' blue sweater.'He's weaker,' thought the angel.Once again, Cy and the angel exchanged glances. It was like a stare-down battle royale. With a devious, sinister grin, the angel looked at Alpha and leaped from the top of the dead spider. Kaboom...!Cy's eyes widened when a dagger appeared in the guy's hand, and he was thinking he'd be planning to attack him, that's at an unfathomable speed (woosh).The angel reappeared and slashed his dagger against Alpha, who was caught off guard too, however, before the blade could so much touch her frightened skin.Kweuk'The elf coughed out blood when Cy, out of nowhere, left a huge pu
The water from the rap rushed out into the bathtub. Cyrus sighed as he strolled and switched it off. Overall, he was in black boxer shorts and a black towel around his wet neck.Cyrus stared at his body in the mirror. His once slender body had started to become muscular. He stared into his blue eyes and flashed back to how he slit the angel's throat.The darkness he felt in his head was like he originated darkness. "Demon King Barnas, a demon king."Cyrus toweled his dark hair and walked out of the bathroom with a stretch while flexing his newfound muscles.Unknown to him, Aisha was in his parlor. She stood beside the door and observed the well-arranged parlor.Cyrus unlocked the room door, now adorned in black clothing. As he veered around, he was surprised to see it was Aisha, almost as if he was expecting someone but not Aisha."Huh, hi," muttered Aisha's shaking voice.Cyrus stared at her, giving her the face of "What are you doing here?""Are you… Are you okay?" asked Aisha. She w
With a black-red aura concealing his structure, he lofted his finger and placed it on his lips then replied, "You talk too much."Cy's cold demeanor didn't really surprise demon king Barnas. He got a bit furious because the surface beneath his feet cracked itself.He simply nodded his head as if disappointed that someone as talented as Cyrus was about to lose his life.Kaboom!It was as if time had stood still for Barnas' movement because no one saw him leap from his throne, but saw how his palm eradicated the spot Cyrus once stood in.Cy's eyes widened in midair, seeing a cascade of rocks splattering up with just a mere palm.Thud'He landed meters away from King Barnas, precisely close to Sylvia and the rest as he watched Barnas rise."Find somewhere safer than this," muttered Cyrus.With a demonic growl, Barnas extracted his fist from the broken ground, his goat skull mask staring at Cyrus, his body possessing visible black segmented armor."A mere mortal wants to fight a million-y
From his throne demon king Barnas was more than eager to see the fight between instant kill king and Cyrus in hopes of the latter winning.After the stare-down battle royale, Cyrus and the demonic spider-ant began walking towards each other. They stopped a few feet apart and Bam'The demon took the first attack, by simply erupting a multitude of rocks with his speed and slashing his claws against our protagonist.Kabam'However, his claws only dug through the earth with a web-like crack; he only hit an afterimage.The demon abruptly turned and faced Cyrus behind him. "Human, I dare you to face me to death," said the demon, who got a smirk from Cyrus.Our MC summoned the twin daggers and lofted them in an x formation, implying he accepted and simultaneously, kaboom.Both of them dashed at each other at a mad speed, and gaining the demon first, Cyrus rotated his dagger and lacerated the segmented abdomen. He wasn't surprised to see only sparks form.'Bitch'And with his other dagger, he
Within the ruined surface of the demon area, Sylvia and the rest prisoners were shoved by the instant kill demons.From left and right sides, they could see demon orcs and black eaters staring viciously at them. Overall, up ahead was a demon king adorned in tattered clothing and a goat skull mask with long horns.Demon King Barnas watched them come forward, his hands placed beside his cheek as if bored of their meaningless existence.Thud'They abruptly stopped a few inches from the six broad stairs leading to demon king Barnas. Some of them shivering and fidgeting."Humans and demons teaming up," sneered Barnas, staring at Sylvia and Falco, which caused Falco to shiver more.'Damnit, he has blown our cover. Even if I survive this, there's no way I'm going back home alive,' thought Falco.Lofting his demonic palm, Sylvia was enveloped in a red aura and seen floating towards demon king Barnas, only a hairsbreadth from his demonic eyes she stopped."Tell me, is it true killing the young
Knights (angels) standing side by side wielding weapons ranging from axes, swords, and shields were spotted facing off against battalions of demons.Overall, these ferocious demons couldn't hold the urge to gnash their heads. Relentlessly, they would smash their weapons against the purple force-field separating them from the angels.Bam'The ground cracked and shook once more as a black eater ran itself against the force field."You doing fine?" asked one of the knights without a helmet.The latter beside him with a helmet slightly gave a nod. Although he had leather gloves on, one could tell he was feeling sweaty and anxious."Yes, captain. I just hope we make it out alive.""We will. Once the battle starts, King Loki has the skill to kill all of them by just saying it. But for so many demons, the effect will need time to manifest," the captain informed, while the others behind him were a bit relieved to get this piece of information.Bam'"So we just need to buy him time and protect
Loki and Sylvia, accompanied by the three demons, stood on top of the castle wall. Far from them, they could see a battalion of monsters pouring out from what seems to be a purple gate."Sir, we checked the whole castle; he's not inside," said a knight, precisely referring to the unseen Cyrus.Falco couldn't help but smirk, thinking Cyrus must have chickened out. He wasn't expecting much from Cy to begin with."It's normal, King Loki. He always hides whenever things get rough, but," Falco stepped forward but was stopped six feet away from the young king."I can lead your army in battle, and I'll defeat Demon King Barnas myself. All you have to do in return is give me half of your kingdom and let the angels and demons know it was I, Falco, who-""Enough," said Sylvia. At this point, she felt disgusted hearing the gibberish he was saying. She knows the army was no match for Loki; all the young king was scared of is Demon King Barnas."Hmph," Falco scoffed, feeling embarrassed."We can't
However, the unexpected and the most shocking thing, all except Sylvia had witnessed, was about to happen.Sylvia smirked.- {The Player Has been killed by Loki}Cy's heart, on the other hand, had stopped pumping blood. However, after a second, Falco's eyes flared more as he stumbled backwards.Ba-thump' Ba-thump Ba-thump Ba-thumpCy's heart began beating faster, and slowly he stood up, staring at Loki with a lifeless gaze.- [You have gained minimum experience of the one who killed you}- [Your Rebirth has gained you no strength]At this moment, everywhere and everyone was quiet, all staring at Cyrus and Loki. King Loki, on the other hand, was shocked, wondering if Cyrus had Immortality.Cyrus was expecting something else; he was waiting for the system's order to kill Loki. But it wasn't coming at all.'Does the quest only appear when the enemy has a high hostility?'Loki stepped forward and stopped a few feet apart from Cyrus. He was about to say something, but Cyrus cut in."You
On a long table of King Loki's castle, various types of meals could be seen from the end to its rear. While the four demons who accompanied Cyrus were busy lavishing the meal.Cy was sitting and staring at Loki who wouldn't stop staring back at him. Constantly, Loki would switch his eyes between Cyrus and Sylvia.After some few stares, he abruptly formed a question from thin air. "Do you guys know each other?""Yes, King Loki," said Sylvia.Loki's eyes widened in joy as he asked another abrupt, yet stupid question. "Do you guys love each other?"Cyrus stared at Sylvia; the girl quickly drove her eyes away from his. "No, Cyrus is just here because of Demon King Barnas.""Ha, oh yes, almost forgot. So how do I know he's not some weakling?" Loki said that and leaned forward towards Cyrus."I get the feeling he's a bad guy, a terrible one that kills a lot."For that statement, Cyrus was forced to form a smile at his lips. Seeing how Cyrus was staring emotionless at Loki, Sylvia jumped in.
Cyrus and the four remaining S-rank skill users walked along the cave-like structure. Overall, the four behind him were already having similar thoughts.Although not able to convey it through words, their stare at each other alone was evidence of their common thoughts.And that was to ambush Cyrus or find any means to work as a team and kill Cy, the motherfucking bastard."We've been walking for hours now, why don't we take a break, boss?" Falco said the last word while sounding as if someone was forcing him to say something he never wanted. However, Cyrus didn't answer him."Look, I'm gonna sit for some minutes while you guys go ahead." The slender one voiced out and sat on the floor while leaning against the cave wall. Causing Cy's step to alter.The moment Cyrus was about turning around, the bastard stood up gritting his teeth. 'What's his deal,' thought the slender with disdain."When the angels arrive, I want you to conceal our demon presence but sell him out." Falco whispered, b
Cyrus appeared out of nowhere and lacerated the head of the bastard, blood gushing out on the ruined ground and the head rolling down.-{Skill Activated: God Image}Gradually, the body began turning to particles of blue dusts. Cy on the other was awaiting one thing.-{Congratulations, You Have gained maximum expression of the one you defeated}-{Enemy: 1, 500}-{Previous strength, magic, speed, attack, intelligence and skill: 2, 000}-{Current: 3, 500}Cy's eyes widened, to think the system would give him the stats and not split it like it did with Mongrel, was unthinkable.'I was even stronger than the bastard, guess I need to work more on my attacks'-{Alert: You have gained the Skill: Instant Rebirth}Seeing this, Cyrus had one thought. Debating if he should try it out to see if the skill has really come back.But that would be like the most foolish way to die if it turns out to be fake. However, the screen had never been wrong before.He glanced at it few more times and slid to th
