"A mission?"
"A gifted land? So basically I'm being asked to save all this people, but if I've been reincarnated. Shouldn't I be a demon?"
"A Demon Lord to be precise"
"Why does a Demon Lord need to save humans?"
Craig asked, he observed from where he stood.
Unburdened by the destruction, the soldiers kept chasing after the children. His attention drifted towards another direction.
A father was killed trying to defend his pregnant wife.
Impaled by the blade of an armored soldier, if Craig was someone with emotions. He would have already been triggered.
But his reincarnation erased his emotions.
Right now he's in the body of a Demon Lord.
While observing everything, a thought flashed his mind.
His drifted his attention back to the virtual panel.
"Hey Pandora or system, i don't know what to call you but do I have any powers?"
Craig asked.
"I mean, I should be some powerful demon lord right? is it possible I'm powerless?" Craig added.
The virtual panel broadened in size, it's shimmering light engulfed the face of Craig.
[Would you like to access your Player's Data?]
[Yes?] [No?]
Craig careesed his chin.
"Player's data? Well i don't know what it is but I'll pick yes" Craig answered.
He stretched forth his hand and he clicked the Yes button on the virtual panel.
The virtual panel's hue changed.
Revealing the radiating crimsoned hue.

It's systematic voice echoed, Craig staggered back. He winced softly as loads of informations flooded his mind.
He groaned, slowly lifting his head.
He gazed at the screen before him.

"Tch"
"Now that I remember it, I recalled hearing a system's voice that ninety percent of my powers were sealed"
"Why is that?"
Craig asked.
[You have not met the qualifications required to unlock the true powers and identity of the Demon Lord Zephyr]
"I see, well that's alright….let me check my physical stat"
Craig said, he clicked a button on the virtual screen floating before his eyes.
And it brought out a page.

Craig'a eyebrows furrowed at what's displayed on his screen.
"What's the meaning of this? Ain't I too weak?"
"This is the body of a Demon Lord for goodness sake, or was the Demon Lord too weak as well?"
"Is that why he died?" Craig asked.
[No, not at all...]
[Not only was your Authorities sealed off, even your strength as the Demon Lord Zephyr was sealed off as well]
[You don't have the required experience to unlock those powers]
"Oh? Is that so? Then what is the requirement?" Craig asked.
[Well complete the mission and it will be unlocked for you]
[While you need the required amount of Fate points to awaken a sub skill and increase your strength]
[Every mission you complete, your physical stats will be increasing]
[the higher your level, the higher your physical stats increases and you can also use Fate points to increase a selected stat]
"Hmmm…"
Craig careesed his cheeks, still staring at the screen.
"So how would I obtain fate points?" Craig asked.
[Fate points will be allocated to you once you have completed a designated task by the Fate's system 'Pandora' ]
[Failure to complete a mission will incur punishments]
The system warned.
Craig exhaled a sigh. He drifted his attention back to the ongoing disaster, by this time.
The children has already been caught by the soldiers, the two who resisted amongst them were killed.
The rest were dragged like slaves.
Craig's brows furrowed.
"Tch"
"I guess I will need to complete this designated task given to me by the Fate System. This is my only chance to level up"
Craig uttered.
He's seen slowly stretching his arms, he came out from the spot he had himself hidden all this while.
Signaling the wandering soldiers of his presence.
The soldiers who were dragging the little boys noticed the presence of Craig.
They gritted their teeths.
"It looks like there's a survivor left untouched by us, one of you guys should kill him" a soldier commanded.
With just a glance, one could tell he's superior in rank.
It was decided.
One of the soldiers stepped forward, clenching the handle of his blade as he approached Craig.
A blue card appeared on his hand, it bared no siegel or runed on the card.
Signaling the low level this soldier was.
The blue card influences physical strength, and he made use of his Authority. Augmenting himself.
The soldier sprinted, covering the distance between himself and Craig.
Craig who's now the Demon Lord Zephyr gently careesed his silk crimsoned hair.
His eyes flickered.
He moved his fingers and a black card appeared on his fingertips, revealing the draconic head displayed on the card.
An insignia of the Draconic Demon Lord.
It had three rings surrounding the draconic head.
Swiftly after, the black card vanished into thin air.
[A Black Card has been used…..]
[Activating your Authority: Father of the Night]
[Sub Authority in use: Nightmare Control]
Screeches echoed from every angle of the realm, the charging soldier halted his movement the second he felt it.
The rambling noises feasting on his own. His mind overtaken by madness of the Night.
"The night is dark and full of terrors. The father exist as the protector of the Night"
Craig instinctively uttered those words.
The soldier who was driven into a state of madness sank his blade right into his chest, collapsing on his knees.
His eyes were void of emotions.
The nightmares has eaten up his life.
Craig walked passed the corpse kneeling before him, his actions seeped fear into the heart of the awaiting soldiers.
They understood how dreadful the presence of Craig was.
No one dared to make a move.
Craig's eyes squinted, glaring at the soldiers before him.
"The System ordered me to kill you. Since I need those Fate points to level up"
"I'll be taking your lives"
Craig uttered, he had his right hand stretched forward.
His eyes flickered, unveiling the crimsoned hue.
A dragon's scaled blade mark appeared on the dorsum of his hand. It flowed fervently.
And thus did he activated his second Authority.
[Notice…..]
