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 muttered to everyone as he cracked his knuckles.However, before he could open the door himself, it slowly unlocked wide enough for them to pass through.Now that they were in the compound of the demon castle, the succubus queen smirked and with a resounding Bam', the door closed, invoking fear in some of them.Cyrus glanced around, clearly, there was another door leading to the main castle. Right now they were in what seemed to be a town square with carved language on the floor."This isn't as bad as I thought", said Flash.After his words, skeletons began emerging from the ground, all possessing swords, shields, and caveman weapons. Overall, they were some sort of barbarian skeleton with purple glowing eyes."Holy shit", yelled Nerdy brain, stepping on the skeleton's hand, which grabbed him from the ground and causing him to wet his pants.At this point, the skeletons in front of the students had waited long enough for the frightened humans to advance, hence they charged in with speed."That's it, I just remembered this place, skeletons. Goblins and giants, I think we should enter the main castle", said Cyrus."What!! Have you lost your mind? I'm not entering that thing... I would rather lose my life here than die there", yelled Flash.As the skeletons were coming in, no one even had the guts to attack. The one thing in common presently was fear and everyone was backing away in fear.Cyrus looked at the damsel holding his arm and pressing her face against it. He inhaled and exhaled before removing her palm as he stared at the skeleton.Cy clenched his fist 'If I can kill just one, then they'll get the motivation I'm looking for', thought Cy.Cy stepped forward, looking at the demons with his sweating palm. "Cy buddy comeback, this isn't one of those games you play in class", said nerd brain.But Cy didn't listen.Abruptly, he dashes toward a skeleton and punches it out… but the demon dodges it and connects its knee bone against Cy's stomach. Kweuk', causing our MC to cough out metallic blood.But Cy didn't just fall on the floor, his hand had covered that region, and the attack wasn't that hurtful. He glanced at the purple glowing eyes of the demon and Bam'His fist connected with the head of the skeleton that rolled in midair and fell amid the others."Woah… They can die?", muttered Flash, smirking and getting the courage he was looking for.The big guy dashes forward and stretches out his two palms to slam down two skeletons."I killed a skeleton", yelled a random student."I got to kill this one too""I also killed a skeleton."Now they were putting up a fight. Cyrus was distracted and had no idea when he had been ambushed. A skeleton jumped behind him and slashed its sword.Cy yelled out in pain as his back was slashed and covered in blood. He gritted his teeth, turning around as he saw the skeleton had dashed forward again, aiming directly for his neck.His eyes flared in pain when he stared at the horrifying purple-glowing eyes of the skeleton. Was he going to die in a place like this? However,Bam'But to Cy's surprise, his damsel came through for him. Aisha came out of nowhere and stopped the demon's sword with hers.With an abrupt display of resilience, the nerd brain jumped out of nowhere and kicked off the skeleton's head."Are you alright?", Aisha's soothing and intoxicating voice resounded in Cy's ears.He held his bleeding shoulder and gave a nod. He was fine. Now, the population of skeletons was decreasing and almost every time you looked, you'd see a skeleton's bone.Cy tried standing up but fell to his knees in pain... That's when he felt Aisha's soft palm, the girl had torn her white sleeve and wrapped it around Cy's shoulder carefully."This should stop the bleeding for a while"With all the skeletons dead, the students were rejoicing, that is until the main demon castle gate opened.This time, they were more than confident and sauntered towards the gate, Aisha and Cy walking at the same speed.'I might actually have a chance with Aisha', thought Cy, 'Really Cy? You're thinking of dating a girl in times like this', rethought Cy.The interior part of the castle was as dark as midnight, hence, they couldn't get a good view of what was inside."Let me in", said flash as he gripped tight the sword and shield he had gotten from a dead skeleton.As he stepped foot inside, Voom…! Blue flames etched on the war lit up almost instantly.The nine students stared at themselves, seeing nothing had happened, nothing happened. Nothing they gradually entered along, it wasn't that broad and also not that narrow, but it was big enough to contain them.Overall, Cyrus was the only one bleeding in the group, and although he felt pain, he pretended like the cut was nothing.Just like what happened to the main castle's gate, this door closed itself too once everyone was inside. At this point, they already knew whatever this place was, it just wanted them to go deep and die.Aisha held Cy's bleeding palm and glanced at him. "We'll be fine…", but in reality, Cy was slowly losing his life from that demon cut. The blade obviously wasn't ordinary.-[Time left: 2 hours 20 minutes 10 seconds]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
Cyrus and Alpha had walked some meters inside this burning hell of a place. They weren't entirely lost because Alpha could sense some other demons around, and that was the direction they were both heading.It didn't take much to walk, and they both arrived at the location Alpha had pointed out. Some demons were working hard, digging holes because they were ordered to.Cyrus glanced at the long, straight hole, and he could already tell what they were planning. Maybe the gutters were the end of the line where the demon general would cross."You there, why aren't you doing anything?" asked a lady with short red hair and adorned in battle clothing.Cyrus didn't answer her, causing her to walk away from the miner she was with and towards Cyrus. "I asked you a question, are you not here to stop the demon general?""Yes," said Cyrus.The girl gave Alpha a look and redirected her gaze back to Cy before she looked at one of the workers hitting the ground hard with his digging ax."Hey Matthew,
