Everyone Else Has a System

After the first cataclysm came, many races came out of hiding hoping to find a place to live on the surface of Planet Vermillion. While each race had their own kingdom built, the peculiar thing about the demons was that they didn't have an exact location where they were localised.

Even till my death, I hadn't heard of the place where demons built their kingdom. All I had heard was that they arrive out of nowhere and can reach almost anywhere within Planet Vermillion.

Theories of different dimensions, where the demons lived, began formulating in hopes to find where the demons come from. However, before anyone could reach a conclusion, the demons were wiped out from the surface of Planet Vermillion. It was the parasites that came from space and attacked them.

The very existence of demons vanished after parasites came… even the red gems, that common folks took cautions against, became a thing of the past from that point onwards.

Still, the demons and their red gems had instilled a deep fear in those who had faced them in the beginning. How should I speak…ummm. Yeah! In the beginning, after the first Cataclysm, the gems were kind of distributed all over the world. Everytime demons attacked, people died in waves until someone strong enough to defeat the demons reached that place.

It was even more complicated with the presence of Red gem, which could make your ally into an enemy. The only way to stop it's spreading was to kill all those who were converted, before it could spread more. However, before the red gem's danger could reach its full potential… Lucas came.

That bastard… for saving his beloved sister, took out the gem from her head and ate it with a furiousness in his eyes.

"Give me a minute," he spoke as he transformed into a demon. His body, however, lay dormant for one whole minute before he opened his eyes with a victorious smile. He came back without turning into a demon and said,"I think, I have found the way to stop people from turning into a demon."

According to him, there was a demon inside the gem who would be at least a demon general level or more. If you can kill him before you die, you can get out of that place. Even if you use a sacrificial move that is bound to kill you… as long as you can kill that demon first, you can get out.

With that theory, people started developing ways to use a sacrificial, powerful move. Forbidden spells, which were considered taboo, became the boon for the people and the fight that the Demons were winning by a large margin came to a halt… heck, they started losing more as time passed.

By the time the second cataclysm came, everyone had their own special sacrificial move, which they could use in a death battle against the demon in the red gem. Pity the demons were wiped out before more people could practise their moves on them…

And as for me… I too had three special sacrificial moves that I developed over the years… one of them was

......…..

"Blood Sacrifice: Second Moon" Zero speaks as his body begins disintegrating at a very slow rate and the demon, watching the phenomenon, takes a step back and analyses Zero with cautions in his eyes.

The Demon's instincts were screaming danger the more he looked at Zero.

Zero, who was standing there, had a large portion of his skin eroded and a mist of blood formed around him. He was turning more and more like a devil himself, while he still smiled at the demon.

"It all began probably from the time before the flight took off," Zero began speaking and the mist turned into miniscule spikes and, at an insane speed, it reached the demon.

-Whoosh

The demon jumped back immediately with a scared look on his face and observed Zero still smiling at him. Feeling goosebumps all over his body, he decided to run away from there…

-Whoosh

He dashed away from there and began running towards a forest at a distance. His eyes were really terrified as he looked at his system.

[Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger!]

Normally after dying once, demons lose their system functions with all that remains is more or less a system with a blank screen saying

[You are in a dormant State: System will be activated when you will wake up]

However, they could still use all the powers and skills back they could in the outerworld.

'Just what the heck is that human?' The Demon questioned with his eyes shaking as he kept running through the dense red forest filled with red leaves. He looked back and found that Zero wasn't following him anymore. Sensing something was wrong, he stopped there and looked around cautiously.

"Elle asked me to save to his little sister," a voice came from right behind him and he fell down before crawling back as he took his stance against the white-haired kid who seemed to be pondering as he continued speaking," but there was no little sister but an elder one. Annabeth Rose, was it… I was really confused, you know?"

Observing that demon's face, Zero made a really awkward face as he scratched the back of his head.

The Demon slowly stood up and..

-Whoosh

-Boom

Attacked at Zero with a loud punch but he was single-handedly stopped by Zero. Zero looked at the demon with a dissatisfied face as he spoke,"Hey! You aren't listening, are you?"

-Slash

-Slash

-Boom

Zero cut off both of his legs and pushed him a little away and spoke with a smile forming on his face,"Good! Now, you won't be running away. Anyway, where I was…"

The Demon, horrified at his power, looked at him as if he had seen the worst nightmare. He observed Zero and slowly spoke, trying his best not to anger him,"Who are you?"

Hearing his words, Zero stopped as he looked at the demon with a slightly surprised face and spoke,"Heeeeeyyyyy!! You wanna know my name?!! You wanna be friends with me now?"

The demon gulped at the psychopathic behaviour of the person in front of him, who began speaking again.

"Sorry, I despise demons. Especially after they killed my best friend Aslan, I vowed to brutally kill each and everyone of them without any mercy. Tch Tch… try again in another life where you are not a demon."

Hearing his words, the demon's face turned white as he began searching for ways to get out of this situation.

Zero, who looked at that demon horrified, made a slightly shocked expression as he spoke," Oh! Sorry! Sorry! I was just kidding, just kidding. I don't kill demons at all, all right? In fact, I love them. Haha don't worry about what I said, you know? Let's be friends alright? How about I introduce myself to you! Yeah, that would be really nice. So what is your name? My name is Reaper… wanna handshake?" and he brought his hand forward to the horrified demon with a pure innocent smile on his face.
