‘What was that?!’With trembling hands, the girl covered her mouth so as not to let out even a chip of sound.The horrible stench of beast corpses filled every gap in the air. And, while she hid behind the huge rock, she kept on pondering.‘What was that?! Could that person even be called human?!’Even though an unbelievable number pounced on that person, the massacre that followed it was terrifying, sending chills to the girl every time that person moved. He was unfazed, almost used to the bloodshed he was causing. Like a serial killer, he planned before doing anything. Even when his throat was about to fly, he stayed calm and just before the beasts could do anything, flesh tore apart and dark fluid splattered everywhere in the illumination. It was terrifying to watch, but it was too beautiful to avert her gaze. He was like a demon.“...”‘It has gone quiet all of a sudden.’Her head was filled with curiosity.

The Demon That Laid Dormant Tragedy
How? Just how did this happen? Just a day ago I was laughing, playing, and eating with mom and dad. Even though I was cast outside the society, I never felt sad because of my parents, because they were with me at every step of my life. But now that they were no more, what was I supposed to do?I sat beside their grave, kept asking the same questions over and over. Why did they leave me? Was I not a good kid? Did I fail to live up to their expectations? Did they not find me useful? Well, upon thinking, the lattermost is most likely, after all, what use is there of a 9-year-old Potential-less kid in this world of dog-eat-dog.But still, was all of the love and affection they showered at me despite being Potential-less all a lie? Did the time we spent mean nothing to them? I wanted to believe it was not, I really wanted to, but I couldn't. I could no longer face away from the inevitable.The elder priest came over to me holding a piece of paper."I believe t

"Wah!"I was in bed and it seemed like I had just woken up from a nightmare.I quickly glanced at my body. There were no wounds or any signs of blood. I turned my head to the left and saw the same scenery I always see outside my apartment- dark, dirty, and shady."Is this... my apartment?"My head was in a quell. There were a lot of things going inside my head."How am I still alive? I am pretty sure I died back then. How did I even get here? Normally, people would ignore my dead body. Who brought me here?"<Ah. I see that you are awake.>"Uwah!"The sudden voice in my head made me stumble and fall headfirst on the floor. It hurt. I almost lost the sensation of pain after my parents' death. When I jumped from my school building and crashed onto the ground, my body reacted to the pain but not my mind. It seems like I was revitalized now that I can feel pain."Who... who are you?" I asked with my face full of horror.
The Demon That Laid Dormant I Am a Demon
Lan started his tale. We were no more in that disgusting space and now we were in my room, me sitting on the bed and Lan leaning against the single door in my room with a distance of hardly 3 meters. My room was never big to begin. It was more of a shed to me. "Demons, you humans probably know of them as horrendous creatures who are only known for killing and other horrendous deeds. Well, that's true for some of us, but not all of us. We are just like you humans, just with horns and wings." He paused for a bit to let me digest the things he said. I never believed in demons in the first place. And now someone I don't know suddenly says that demons are like us. How am I supposed to believe that? "How can I believe you?" "Wait. Before that let me finish my story." "Fine." He continued his tale. "We live in a different dimension than you humans." "Is it hell?" "Is that what you humans call our place? Really, you hum
The Demon That Laid Dormant The Game
The message in front of my eyes filled my heart with raging ecstasy and filled my body with adrenaline. The articulate voice of a male filled the canals of my ears and dropped right inside my brain.I didn't know what this was nor did I know what was going to happen. All I knew is that this was where the real fun starts.<Yeah, you hit the bullseye once again. Aren't ya pretty lucky?>"Can I please get a bit of privacy?"<Yeah yeah, whatever.>"Hm... so, what's this message's deal?"<You wanna know?>"Yeah if I wanna kill that fuckin' BITCH?"<Why are you emphasizing that specific word too much?>"Cools my head."It's true. It really cools my head when I imagine that BITCH wriggling on her stomach and moaning in agony, begging me for mercy, and me stepping on her and crushing her nether regions and mouth. Go- I mean, Satan, I feel so good right now.<Woah... you are quite extreme.
The Demon That Laid Dormant Not-Demon Like Demon
"Huff huff huff..."I panted heavily as my feet continued to work. I must have completed at least 10km and with all the push-ups and squats I did, it must have been a great gain. My frail body was energetic again. This was truly a splendid feeling. I could run like the other kids of my age and drench my body in sweat.<The system really gave you a hell lot of energy.>"I know right?"<Still gonna run?>"Nah, not anymore. I am going to do some exercises before going home. I bet no one wants to see trash like me doing exercises.<Self-burn? Now that's rare.>"Not for long."<You gotta get a hold of the system first.>"Hmm... it should have popped up by now..."<What?>Tring!{Daily training complete}"Sweet!"<How... did you?>"You see, in RPGs, you have to do some specific actions to gain some EXP without grinding, and that is called training.

Sigh... I really don't want to go to that accursed place, but I am gonna fall behind from the one thing I am best at if I don't go.<Any memories you wanna share?>"About that place?"<Yeah.>"Hmm... all I have are dark memories. Still wanna listen?"<Yes, but actually no.>"Decide on one thing."<Nghhh... okay, I want to listen.>Why push yourself if you don't wanna do it? Are all demons pushover like this one? I wish they are not. Ah, but they are no more alive. Sad...I locked the door to my apartment and started for my school which was almost 1km away, which I have to cover all by my feet. This might sound so pitiful but still, I am gonna say it. I live in a secluded area devoid of any transportation or anything like that. Even if there was any transportation, I could not afford to waste my money on it. All this place has to offer are thieves, brutes, rapists- women and men both- and other dar
The Demon That Laid Dormant Four Possibilities
"Welcome back, you son of a bitch!""Philip."I was wondering why this guy has still not said anything to me. Normally, he would come to me running and shower some punches and words of glory, but today he was always at the corner of my eyes."So, you tried to run?""You got a problem with that?""Of course, my friend."My friend?"How can I not have any problems when one of my friends returned from death's mouth?"He wrapped his hands over my shoulders and dragged me along with him gently. He was never this gentle with me, heck, was he ever gentle with me? I don't think so."Where are you taking me?" I said, looking over his wrapped hand."What? Just accompanying an old friend."<This guy is up to no good. Ken, be careful.>'Right.'Now, what are the possible outcomes that are about to befall me? One, he will use me to get everyone's admiration. Two, he will take me to a secluded place w

An unbelievable stench filled the place along with the eerie air that sent chills down one's spine. I walked with a bit of wariness. Of course, the Book said that there was no danger around here, but I had nothing to lose from being wary, did I? 'What?' '...you know about this place?' 'How?' Was it natural for a demon to know everything? Didn't seem like that to me. "Hmm… this place, maybe?" The empty sounds of my footsteps stopped when I came across the strange engravings. Though the whole place was filled with patterns strange enough for me to carefully observe each one of those, this thing was even stranger. Though it was not mentioned in detail in the Book, I was sure this place was the entrance to the real dungeon and there I would get one of the most important pieces of the Tower that could only be found on the First Floor. But for now… "I have to get this thing opened." I walked to it slowly, being cautious of th

Well, that plan could wait for a while. <You know, I can’t even peek at your brain anymore, so why not just tell me about the plan?> ‘You will know when the time comes.’ Yeah, he would know when the time comes, which would take a while. I had no plans of rushing even if I wanted to climb the tower right now. That would only lead to my downfall. For now, what I had to do was… “Classes…” Why did I feel like I had to have a high school life? Maybe no one can answer that. But now that the deed was done, I had no way of reverting back. I had to play along with the ‘student’ identity so as to not draw any unnecessary attention. “Let’s just get over with it…”

“Hmm…”The morning sun rays lightly caressed my skin as I lay on my bed, thinking about the truth I learned about my parents yesterday.I had my suspicions but it really hit differently when I got to hear it from someone who was hailed as more potent than the Demon King himself. But there were still many things about my parents that were under the veil. Lan refused to talk about them so I had no way to know other than wait for Lan to open up.…it was frustrating but there was nothing I could do.“...”I wanted to get up but the bed seemed to hug even tighter the more I tried to resist. I was feeling strangely lethargic.“But

"Hmm…" But of course, I couldn't just leave them like this. I knew they would talk about me as soon as I went. It was a common trope after all. <You really are not normal for staying to eavesdrop.> "Hmm…" He really was an idiot to think I was expected from the start. If I were normal, then I wouldn't have gone through a spiral of beatings, piss, disdain, hatred, and loneliness. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil… 'Please shut your mouth for a while.' I shut him off. I couldn't have him run his mouth thoughtlessly and get on my nerves. <Tch, so mean.> 'Shut up.' "Well, I guess I'll take my leave now." He bowed deeply and left. "..." The Headmaster was left alone, watching the door to his office close off. "...that slimy bastard. He sure knows how to choose the words in front of me." The Headmaster paced his office seemingly deep in thought. What was he t

The Headmaster
Even the Headmaster was showing hostility towards me… does that mean that my school life was over even before it began? Should I hope that it doesn't? Yeah, maybe I should."Tell me, Relin.""Oh, don't be on guard so much~ I just came here because I want to have a talk with this boy here.""Relin.""...!"I instinctively put my guard on. The fearsome aura lying inside the Headmaster… was colossal!I only heard bits about the Headmaster of Central Chaser and Hunter Academy. Even the records allowed to the public didn't have much about him except the fact that he was a former chaser who suddenly rose to power and became the Headmaster of the top academy in the Tower. Even I had some questions regarding this matter, and the old me concluded that there were strings pulled by this man, but now that I see it with my own eyes, I can't say that's the case anymore. This man was the real deal, a real monster."Woah woah~ put that

Relin
"I thought that you were calling my name." Faltering now would be a complete giveaway. I cannot give them any chance to be suspicious. "What is your name?" "Ren…" I haven't turned around yet. I did not dare to do so. The overwhelming strength and dominance in the gaze didn't let me. "Shall we talk?" "... sure." It was better to go along with him until I knew their true intentions. "Good. If you have refused, we would have to use force but it's a good thing you didn't. Now, let's go." The man wrapped his arms around my neck and that's when I got a glimpse of him but what I saw was... "Levithan Guild…" That man was Relin Ivy, the Vice-Guild Master of one of the five most influential guilds- the Levithan Guild! "Hoh? Are you a fan? Haha, sorry but I don't give autographs." All of a sudden, I could feel cold sweat running down my back. The bloodlust inside him took the form of a monster behind him and glared at me. 'Fuck…!' What the hell did I do now? He shouldn't have any r

Start Anew
Tap tap tap… The sound of Elena's high heels slowly started to fade from the room as she made her way to the door at the end of the Duchess' huge room. The Duchess was smiling at the apple of her eyes- her daughter's elegant and noble demeanour. From the very birth of her daughter, she has taken extensive measures to mould her daughter into a perfect girl, just like her. 'Possess everything you want- be it a man, money or power- everything. Crush anything you don't like. Always flaunt your power and show them your appeal in every sense. Do whatever it takes to stay at the top, whatever it takes.' The Duchess still remembered the words she poured into her daughter back when the Duchess killed her husband in front of her daughter. That was a perfect example for her daughter. Her husband, Roy Kleine, also called the Duke, was above the Duchess in every sense. Likeable personality, great power, filthy rich, and full of love for his wife- that was

Scene
The door creaked open with audible noise and Alvin entered with caution. It was obvious that Alvin was hesitant when he was talking to the woman over the other side of the phone. It was because he knew what kind of family was this. A single mistake and Alvin might lose his life with a single flick of a finger."Fuu..." He sighed in deep caution, repeatedly glancing to his surroundings for potential attacks, and after a while, he was standing in front of the mansion's huge and grand door.Knock knock!He knocked at the door softly."Coming." A sound of a female, most probably going through her teens, called out from inside.Creak!The doorknob turned and the door opened.A beautiful girl appeared in front of Alvin, her face flawless at first glance."Good evening, Lady Elena.""Good evening, Mr Alvin."Both of them bowed and exchanged greetings."Please follow me.
