Chapter 211: Start of an rpg

In the age of ancient many different races were struggling to survive day-to-day with few grains of food. They lived in a world full of living breathing catastrophes that they must fight for the resources of the land. But at the end of their suffering, their greed was far stronger than their demands for peace. They forge weapons, strengthen their fortresses, and instead of monsters they face the other races

[System: The third past catastrophic event that leads to the end of the world

[Warring nations]: Monsters, calamities, villains none of those exist in this story. There were no such problems with hunting and death by hunting monsters wasn’t that many of a casualty. War, that’s what lead this world to rot as it became polluted by the growing power that survive for thousands of years

Trial type [RPG]: Role-playing game instead of possessing your original status you’ll gain the stats and level of the role assigned to the player. The role selection is randomized, though your position will be based on whether or not you contributed. High-contributing players will attain a higher role compared with the other players

Contribution point ranking:

1st: Unknown, contribution point: 3,700

2nd: Persevis, contribution point: 2,800

3rd: Hugo Miller, contribution point: 2,500

4th: Velvet Airis, contribution point: 2,300

5th: Han Ji Wook, contribution point: 1,900

Additional information: Only the top five contributors will be assigned to a higher role from the norms]

[System: The deity known as [The forgotten sage] & [The one who sees catastrophe] has joined the player’s private broadcasting]

[Oi why the fuck is it so dark? I can’t see a damn thing… Prophet use your night vision and tell me where are we]

[I don’t even know what I’m looking at… Morris, do you know about this place I can’t seem to comprehend your situation~Watch out!!!]

’The fuck is with the system, I haven’t gotten a single clue about my situation and they expect me to fight? Even if I can’t access the status of the role given to me, it seems that this guy has some power. I don’t know what its limits but I can feel a shit ton of mana and chi that surpasses my own. I don’t even know if it possesses any kind of offensive skills, guess it was a great idea that I learned some circulation methods]

He dodges after his night vision triggers and reveals him to be in a dark room filled with other kinds of monsters. He wasn’t given an introduction and his role wasn’t yet revealed for him to utilize his skills but he managed to survive. He circulated the energy of his newly possessed body and manages to land a finishing blow on the monsters

[System: You’ve killed 25 demons!!! You’ll now be given some time for your stamina to recover]

’Demons? Come to think of it, what the fuck is my role? It looks like im stuck in this place for all I know, my original skills have been locked but it seems that I can use my other abilities. The unique abilities and the blessings bestowed upon me are available, now if I remember correctly this is an RPG. The body we currently possess are not our own and are simply the people who lived in this time. The third trial was the easiest compared with the rest, you don’t die on RPG-type trials but you’re unable to participate until it ends,’

[System: The deity known as [The forgotten sage] is using its authority to communicate with the player through his mind]

[Hey, I think I’ve found something out from the prophet’s given information]

’Spill it, there are only a few minutes before the next wave. Is it possible that you found something?’

[Have you heard of a Kodoku before?]

’Yes, I know a little bit about that, it’s a cursed art from the Japanese folklore. If I remember it’s a type of curse poison created from placing 100 different kinds of poisonous insects. The blood of the dead insects will be used as a poison and the insect that reigns supreme will be used as a charm. I remember telling you this because you’re somewhat interested in the knowledge of my world. Why did you bring this up?’

[The prophet said that this building was sealed and it’ll only be open once there remains one. I don’t know what your role is but it seems that this whole thing is nothing but a test. Seeing as your here battling those demons, we could suspect that you’re a demon selected as a successor of sorts]

’Successor…? Can you explain? As I said before I only know a few things by exploiting my vision. I’m not omniscient nor omnipotent, basically im a jackass that likes to spoil what happens next. Anything away from the scope of my vision is simply classified as a mystery,’

[The way of succession to the beliefs of the demons is to have all those who wish to gain a higher position sentenced in a battle to the death. Simply put, their right of succession is similar to the Kodoku you mentioned about in our small chat. At the end of this battle, all of the blood spilled will be absorbed directly by you and you’ll rise to a different rank]

’Sheesh!!! These guys are way intense, hey imagine being a corporate lackey in this place next thing you know your fighting your boss. Whoops, looks like the timers finally reached zero, let’s continue this once im done,’

[You’re not going to call for your familiars?]

’If you say this is some sort of test thingy then I rather not win in the easiest way possible… Inside an RPG trial, every move you do will decide the contribution point you’ll gain, im not having any difficulty. It’s unbecoming of me if I rely too much on my familiars, sorry guys but you’ll get your fun once we’re out,’

After his deity’s assumptions reached his ears he finally came to notice the other power which lies dormant in his body. Demonic energy, by itself, is verified that he’s a demon to the core. The amount of energy that flies from his body was double!! No triple the amount of his body. There wasn’t any hint of a heavenly aura and he finally concluded his deities guess to be true

[System: The player has chosen to ignore the suspension time and request an all-out brawl!!! 2nd, 3rd, and lastly the 4th wave of demons have spawned in what formerly was to be the 2nd wave

Outcome: You’re surrounded by 74 demons that wish to end your life

Status: The player is circulating a ton of mana and chi imbued with demonic energy onto his body. The current body of the player is quite good at circulating the flow of demonic energy hence increasing its circulation. The player’s current body is the perfect vessel to store lots of demonic energy]

“It’s a pain that I can’t even use my inventory in this trial, I want to use my daggers after a long time. My martial arts reverted to the basics, guess it’s a little bit of an overkill if I have those am I right? You guys are nothing more than a bunch of experience points for my current body,” His incredible speed increase over time as he continuous to circulate his energy

The demons tried to bring him down and land their attacks but they couldn’t even touch a hair of his body. Big and durable his enemies were but his small and flexible form was easily able to dodge their slow yet heavy attacks. Footwork, martial knowledge, and circulation method, with a hint of demonic energy. He pierces through their body like a speeding bullet and his manner became more and more chaotic as time goes by

“Demons truly have a well-built mental endurance, as they lived and breathed they constantly circulated demonic energy!!! Oh, the insanity it’s coursing throughout my body, and yet I only feel nothing but pleasure hahahahaha. Die!!! You worthless insects bow down before me, all of you are useless you can’t even land a single blow,” For the first time he felt the sensation of insanity and what it means to be corrupted by its power

Even with that, his mind was stable, he became a force to be reckoned with an existence that was feared by his enemy

“Mer… cy… Please, kill me I don’t want to feel any more of your blows. I beg of you for a swift and painless death,” Most of his opponents tried to beg and ask for a swift death, but his actions were influenced by his power

“Now that you mentioned it I might have been a little harsh,” He said and lowers his fist after the demon kneeled before him

“You’ll truly grant me a swift death~ Graaah!!!” The demon weeps in sorrow after his chest was pierced and he sees a devilish grin on his face. Morris drops the demon to the ground where it slowly bleeds to its death and he runs rampant once more

“Ahahahahahha!!! Look at this idiot, you fell for it… Do you think I’d spare your miserable lives after you point your killing intent on me? How weak you are, if you’re a demon and your face with death you should stand proud and smile. There’s no place for cowards like you in this race filled with malice,” Since he wouldn’t gain anything from that request he gave in to his rage and brutally killed them in many ways than one

He ripped their chest wide open, amputated the demon’s limbs, and juggles it whilst he walks to his next prey. All of them were scared and many froze when their gaze met with his own. At some point, he made the other demons fight, and the winner was promised a swift death. But in the end, the winner was plucked with all of its skin its horns were stabbed directly into its eyes. He wasn’t finished and he pummel its head to the ground slowly breaking its durability until its brains were scattered

[System: You’ve struck fear in the hearts of the participating demons!!! Your character gains 40 [Evil points]

Note: Evil, Good, and Neutral are points based on the faction of the player’s randomly assigned roles. These points can be used to improve, create, or even use as a way of currency in this world]

When the battle finally ended, he was teleported to another dark room, this time it was a little bit cramped. He founds a chair and proceeds to sit after his tiresome battle and then the introduction has appeared. In front of his chair, a light came from the outside world in the shape of a large door opening. A single individual appears and goes to bows and greets him after his victory in his brawl

“It’s an honor to finally meet you, my great lord, the third incarnation. Your majesty the demon king may this lowly servant know of this benevolent ruler’s name? It would be an honor to be the first to hear your name milord,”

“Come again?” Shocked he was after finally hearing his role which he thought was a high-ranking demon was revealed to be the pinnacle

[System: Your role is the ruler of all demons which is mainly titled as [Demon King] or [Demon Lord] congratulations on succeeding in your introduction!!! You’ll be given 80 [Evil points] as a reward]
