The Eternal enemies....The Heaven and Hell. Many many years have passed and still the conflicting forces were still waging war. Why drag the humanity to this conflict by the way? Others sided with the Light and others to the Darkness. There has no rest in even in eternity and after death, if one of the two would get defeated, then at least the eternal war would stop.
The past was a bit of a turmoil. It has never been a peaceful one. It would be a joke to say the demons were peaceful and good. Angels find that a preposterous joke.
Against him was a huge entity, a giant compared to him and has numerous tentacle aura that could rip the fabric of reality like it was only a piece of paper. His face was of an old man with a mustache long enough to touch the ground. His hair was ashen and eyes were closed. Though he could see bright as day when looking at him.
The Demon God watched Ren with pity. Battling him without a class was a far stretch for his luck. He bled there but still stood up and fought. All the friends he has, the comrades that fought side by side with him. His Lover, sacrificed just to let him escape. But he could not, he could not leave her and just let her die. And so he decided to die with them. He could not imagine living without their company. Or their presences.
He took down several Demon Lords and killed the Demon King. But it was not enough. The dust and smoke from all the spells, the numerous dead humans that were all slain, scattered on the bloodied grounds. All were dead and he was the only one left. The enemy was still unscathed with all his attacks and efforts. Making him curse his predicament.If only, if only he has a class. Then everything would be different.
In this last struggle, he could only remember the faces of his comrades and friends. And at last Rhia's smiling face and giggle was what made him tear up. The last breath of his lungs and the last face he saw in his death was her's. And he died while standing up. His head beheaded by his enemy: the Demon God.
Come to think of it, the World Earthea was once a world free from monsters. Until one day, portals appeared and came out were monsters that slaughtered people.
The Earthea became a battleground for dominance against monsters and demons. The world nearly collapsed and half of humanity's territory became dark lands full of monsters. Schools were later on built to nurture the youths for fighting off the enemies of humanity.
Meanwhile, did you imagine that he went to an isekai that leads to wonderful refreshing fantasy? A slow life that was full of happy moments and growth was drastic and without disturbance? This one was a supernatural one where ghost and spirits were malevolent and has deep hatred to humans.
It was a natural rule to be hunted when you were weak. Making him to see this world has a rule, the strong hunts the weak or dog eat dog world. A rule that was passed down to generations to next generations. As this rule followed the ways of life and more so, an obvious thing to happen and thus self explanatory.
They would attack humans without any reasons and it was by instinct. Ren could only complain to who sent him here. But yes, it was indeed full of challenge. A trivial question was why here? He could not fathom the silly idea that it was the worst place to live. As their parents barricaded their windows and doors full of safety locks every night.
And so Ren was wondering who sent him here when he died? He wished to be sent to a fantasy world where he could at least find cat girls and build a harem with them....but to his dismay, it was in a world where darkness has spread to the lands and only a few settlements were protected from demons and evil spirits. It was far from what he expected. Initially, he was excited in his isekai and rebirth. But to end up frustrated and fear struck him of what kind of world this was.
Few were able to survive the attacks and his parents were worried for their kids.
Now the good news was, there were power as a source that fight off the evil spirits and it was called Job Class and the only weapon that could deal damage to evil spirits were from a weapon coated by Holy Metal which was bathed from holy water from priests. It was called the "Demon Slayer Series" of weapons.
It was disturbing to tell that the spirits were getting more and more aggressive. Every day, there was disappearance and his parents were as worried as them.
There were sounds of spine chilling howls and roars from the middle of the night and some experienced something walking outside their doors.
Some heard female voices singing in the night and all closed their doors when the night came.
Night was their favourite time and they appeared in the darkness. So they feared the sun and would normally be in hiding when the day came. The problem was, the world was enveloped by fogs and the caravans feared the night. They would not risk of getting attacked while eyes closed.
He was just observing and their village was a settlement nearby the borders of the human kingdom.
They could not even cross safely without guards from caravans as the roads were perilous. They were teeming with ghosts and sometimes some were dangerous. They could attack you anytime.
Ren was in his crib and every day and night, it was a survival for them. As one would say, they were etched in their minds with that kind of fear. As a result, the evil spirits fed to their emotions and made it worse. As one would say, they were becoming more fearsome as time pass.
Days and nights pass and Ren became 2 years old and he could finally walk and talk. Though it was not much for him. He was still limited with this body of his and was not able to access the knowledge of this library. He could write now as his mother was stubbornly drilling her all the knowledge she could give. Writing was one and other one was reading. Luckily, their language and alphabets were the same as Earth's English. And so, with his knowledge being an already matured person in the past life, he could easily grasp the basics of this practices that his mother was up to.
Night came and they were sleeping and another howls at night were heard. They were on guard but Ren was terribly full of fear. He remembered that when he was still in the Earth, he hated Horror films the most. He could not hide it from his parents as he was shaking under his blanket. It was his fears that doesn't cooperate and he couldn't sleep as a result. Making his life sure fire terrible. Sleepless nights and a tiring day. All were terrible, it was not even good to the health and their lives were all in chaos. One afternoon, some guards reported that someone hung itself from the tree on the hills nearby. They reported that he hung itself after not being able to find his lost little sister in the woods. All flocked in the hills and saw the body. Being rotten and flies came to feast on such carcass. They dragged the body of the boy and burned it. As for the relatives, they were already dead and the boy has lost his mind until he hanged. The ghosts and evil spirits also became stronger as fear has enveloped the village.
Some even reported that they could see a boy and a girl in the hills where the tree was and disappeared right after. Some guards felt worried as this could lead to a flock of evil spirits into their village. Some of them were already seeing evil spirits nearing their patrol routes. Ren was just hearing those messages from his parents but still can't adjust his fears of the anomalies and supernatural. It only worsened year after year.
He was unable to held strong even with the years of this phenomena. One would say they could adjust by the years but he was not able to.
And so they were awake at night and almost sleepy at the day. It was a bad habit if one would say from the past world but they could not help it.
