ALLEX POV
What is the meaning of netherworld? Is it a place where everything is decided by fights and competitions? Is it a place where demons run amok? Is it a place where everything is done according to the will of the strongest? Is it a place where the combat reigns every time?
My answer to these questions is... Yes.
It is a seriously a hell of a boring place. I'm the Demon King of this boring netherworld. I'm the absolute king to demons and the monsters which are crawling here in these lands. My name is Allex. A name when I got, I don't remember. I have six arms; three each side and I have 2 faces. One normal face while my extra eyes under my normal eyes and a second mouth is wherever I could fit it. I wore a heavy black color dark armor. It covered my entire body. I have a close resemblance to a human-type demon.
I have lived so many years that I have forget to count. I have fought with many talent people of demons and monsters. Anyone could challenge me and if I lost then the seat of Demon King is there for them to use however there want. If the challenger losses, then it will depend on my mood to what to do with them.
There are sometimes when a Gate opens to invade another world. The nobles and the soldiers were ready to invade and one word from me would start a war between worlds. But I refuse to do it. I don't care about the lands anymore now. And even if I do nothing, species name humans will always come inside the gate and challenge us. At first, I thought there might be more hidden gems from them but there got smashed and killed by my foot soldiers alone. I always watched every match that occurred with humans and my world demons.
I remembered a long time ago when the gates concept was new to us. Some humans where first to come outside of it. At first, we were all were cautious of them, no one want to confront them head on... but I just can't wait and recklessly charge at the humans. There were strong especially their items know as weapons. I capture all of them and kept in my palace. I thought that I will enter outside of the gate but when I reached the location of the gate it was already close. I researched the humans. I searched the basic information about them through memory ready from the two boy's mind. The first one was apparently a hero and from his memory it said to defeat the Demon King which is me.
The other was having the same information as the first one but there was one information that first one didn't have. It was related to the gates. It is said that this person came from another world and not from these heroes one. He finds out a gate which led to them to this world. He thought he was the strongest human alive and manipulated his companions to come here.
I then looked at the girls and I received almost same knowledge as that hero and apparently one of the girls was in love with him and was having a dream to marry her and carry his child.
Then I began experimenting on their bodies. After few years all the four people are my servants. And the girl who was in love with the hero became interested in me where she even tried to make me plant a baby inside her.
Like that many gates were opened, and many more different types of races came. I left the small fries to my subordinates and went to fight the strongest people from both hell and the other side of the gate. It was fun as long it lasted.
Anyways it was a beautiful past but now I'm bored. I think I should take a walk around. I got up from my throne and teleported to the side of the netherworld. Normally this is the place where the gates show up and it seems I was lucky since I spotted a human who was surrounded by the monsters. Normally I will just ignore it, but the boy wasn't having any kind of weapon on him. Even if I didn't know about the clothes but still, I have an idea that those clothes were for combat. He seems to be trying to survive here. It seems his world gate is closed.
I saw he desperate to survive and since he was in the tough situation, I decided to watch more of it. I hide my presence and go near the battlefield. Our people also began to use different types of weapons similar to invaders. There were many different types of invaders which came with humans in our world. One of which is called elf who have long ears and live more than humans. Another one is called beastman which looked like animals but have intelligence of humans and similar like people came who were looking or behaving like humans.
The human tried to put up a fight and after a long struggle he won and killed all the monsters that attacked him.
But it was too soon for himself to bless in glory as another group of monsters appeared. He was the definition of unlucky. He seems to come here accidently. Then he came here in a place where mindless solders live. It was an area where lawless the one who doesn't come under me so there gathered here. It is a lawless land. It is a place where rebels live. This is the reason there is no soldiers available here.
And to top it all off. Another gate opened nearby from which new knights and monster invaded us.
There looked at the human and draw their weapons. It isn't common for multiple gates to appear. I saw that human was at its utter limits and couldn't even lift his weapon anymore. He is done for.
I then teleported near him as the knights were closing on him. The knights seeing me stood back cautiously not daring to make a move.
Allex: "You human, what's your name?"
???: "Haa...Haa... Ramon..."
He was breathing so heavily that he couldn't even speak anymore. So, I healed him and he gazed at me surprised. Fear was written all over his face. Well, it isn't surprising I must say.
Allex: "My name is Allex, the ruler of this planet---"
Suddenly those other intruders came after me---
Ramon POV
My name is Ramon; I was heading home after my busy work. I'm a professional martial artist, a prodigy. But suddenly I found myself here. I looked to this Allex creature heading towards the other people. There weren't his allies. I thought it might be good if those two drain each other and somehow, I'll survive.
The first to attack was the Group, one of their members fired a [Fireball], creating fire out of nowhere. I know of this stuff, my friend used to brag me about it. But the fire ball vanished by the touch of his breathing. He then teleported behind them, and all the members fall down unconscious. I couldn't even see what he did.
This creature is the true definition of the thing known as Monsters, what on Earth is this?
