In the world of Asthia, a land ravaged by a never ending war between humans and the 50 Great Demon Lords,
The reason for the war between then was never explained as the players didn't needed to know
A legendary game had been released five years prior.
"Hero of Asthia" was its name, and it had become a sensation among gamers, but over the time the hype dropped as the game was so difficult it was considered to be impossible to beat,But many gamers were still determined to clear it. One such gamer,
I , had finally cleared the game after countless faliures and hours of dedication.
U might be wondering who might I be?
I am just an normal shut in neet and afull time gamer
Age 24
"Finally I beat this shit game. HELL YEAHHHH!!"
"Oh man I don't even know the last time I was this happy over an stupid game "
As the game ended,
A strange question appeared on the screen: "Would you like to be a demon or a hero? "
"Huh?!.what is this supposed to mean? "
"Is there some kind of hidden ending remaining ? But it already said I completed the game"
"Hah... Whatever I'll just choose demon sounds cool to me "
I thought it was a trivial question and chose "demon" without hesitation just for fun
But I didn't knew it was the worst mistake of my life....
The real hell awaits me...
Suddenly an weird music started playing which stung my ears like an blade
"AHH!?!!?.. MY HEAD.. What's This Sound? "
"I.. Feel dizzy"
As every thing near me stated becoming blur and unclear I started losing consciousness
I fell asleep,
only to wake up to the sound of screams and the smell of burning flesh and blood .
As the scream became more intense I woke u
"Huh...what's going on? " "Why are people screaming "
"Wh..What's Going on what is this disgusting smell it feels like burning flesh "
I didn't knew why but my full body was in pain I was unable to even move a single muscle
After some time the screams died down as well as the pain in my body calmed a bit
As I slowly opened my eyes all he could see was an intense battlefield covered with blood corpses lying as far as the eyes go .
The corpses where not even of an human they were of monsters which looked like humans and were far different from humans at the same time which I have never seen before .
Most of them had horns or tail some even had wings
"!?.. What the hell.. What's going on "
"Where am I what are these armor wearing human like monsters this doesn't make any sense"
"But even if it did this scene doesn't even make sense. Who where they even fighting ? Why am I here"
All sorts of question rushed through my mind that time I was unable to think clearly because of the scenario in front of me.
Me who never have never seen an dead body in my whole life was laying between sea of corpses
"Ack.. I need to cover my nose I can't take anymore of this disgusting smell"
as I tried to take my hand to cover my face things started to become clear .
"Wait.. What is this?! Why am I wearing a glove? Now that I think about it what are these weird cloths I am wearing? I don't remember wearing such things"
Those were the thought in my mind while looking at the blood covered yet expensive looking cloths I was wearing
Confused because of the chaos I places my hand on my head
"!?!.. What is this thing spiky horn like thing on my head some kind of helmet? "
'As I tried removing it I realized something the thing on my head was not an helmet'
"Horn..!? Where did it came from? "
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON I DON'T UNDERSTAND"
At that time I came to my senses a bit realising that the body I am in is not even my own I am in an completely different body
"I need to get out of this crazy place "
That was what I was determined to do but when I looked at my body condition it was barely movable
Suddenly I saw an man who also had weird horns on his head running towards me 'My Lord "DALTON" are u ok? Are u hurt'
Asking me that question with an worried expression on his face he looked quite young maybe around my age
The man who came running with first aid whom I didn't even know started to patch up my wounds but the first question that came to my mind and I asked was
"DALTON? Did u just call me Dalton"
"I am sorry my Lord I didn't intend to call u by ur name " Said the man with suddenly an scared expression
"Hey u tell me my full name "
"Pardon me? "He asked with confused look
"Just do it say my full name aloud"
"Your full name is DALTON GRIMSOUL my Lord "
Hearing that name I knew whom it belongs to
'Dalton Grimsoul' demon Lord of shadow the weakest among the 50 Great demon Lord ranking 50th an absolute piece of trash
which was not even worth side villain in the game
"HERO OF ASTHIA " I played before waking up in this body
He was a demon Lord only because of his bloodline and also the Lord of fortress city Valtoria which is at constant war against humans in the story,
But was the first one to be destroyed as it was in the tutorial stage
'I
"My Lord are u ok? " Asked the man
He looked nervous
Well I guess he thinks I might have hit my head asking such questions
"Yeah I am fine "
As I looked carefully at the man I recalled his name as he was one of the characters that worked under Dalton
'Ethan beckett' his secretary and right hand man
As Dalton was useless Ethan was incharge for managing the whole fortress city of valtoria
"Is there something wrong Lord Dalton? " Ethan asked because I was staring at him for too long
While I was lost in thoughts
'Uhh..I need to keep my act together '
"Lord Dalton are u listing to me? "
"Don't worry it's nothing"
"My Lord we must hurry back inside the fortress city. The was is over "
"Over? "
At that time my only thoughts were
' wait wasn't Dalton supposed to die at this was as it was the tutorial of the game? "
"Hey Ethan tell me did we lose or win"
"We barely managed to win my Lord. But before anything else we must hurry back at the fortress and treat u "
"Yeah... Let's go back i am tired "
I also needed time to sort my thoughts
And I passed out again
