Chapter 1: Chapter 1

Somewhere inside the dim room, a man regained his consciousness. He opened his eyes and found himself alone in an unfamiliar room. The room was pretty small, around 3 x 3. There wasn't any decoration, furniture, or a window to look at the outside, only one single door, and the room was illuminated by one glowing orb on the ceiling.

"Why am I here? Is this a dream? I was... Wait...... "

He wondered why he was there. The last thing he could remember was he was in a near-death situation, and at that moment, he realized that he didn't even breathe, nor he had any wounds on his body, so the man assumed that he had already died and was in the afterlife. Then all of a sudden, a young boy's voice rang in his ears and echoed in the room, greeting him.

[Hello?]

"............" He was taken aback when he heard the voice. He checked the surrounding, but he couldn't find anyone. He thought he was hallucinating and just hearing things.

[You heard me right. I don't have a physical body, so don't worry, you are not hallucinating]

Widen his eyes, the man was surprised and instantly asked about his identity. "Huh? Who are you? Are you a god?"

[I'm not a god, my name is Kayron]

"What? Then why am I here? I thought this place was the afterlife."

[How do I say this? Let's just say right now, you are inside a small dimension created by a powerful being. Right now, you are in a soul body and as for why you are here is that I need your help, and say something to you directly]

"Huh? Are you serious?" He asked. He was still in disbelief.

[YES, I know it must be shocking for you, but it's the truth]

Even though it was bizarre, the man tried to keep calm. "........ I see, so I'm really dead, but who is this powerful being, and what kind of help are you looking for from a dead person? Why me?"

[I only have a few minutes, so please listen I will tell you everything from my point I want you to live and possess my body to protect my family, and make them happy. The world I live in is different from yours, it's what you called a fantasy world]

[One day a demon came to my dream, showing me several possible futures, and all of it was....... horrible, I'm the only one who will survive in the end. I thought it was a lie, but a few days ago, I got attacked and kidnapped, then I realized everything that the demon showed to me was real]

[I was too naive, stupid, and weak, I wanted to help them, but in the end, I became their burden. With my current me right now, there is nothing I can do to stop the first step of my despair]

[But then the same demon came to my dream and offered help, so I made a pact with the demon, I sold my soul. With one last wish, I want to choose the soul who will live in my body, I can see every candidate's memory, and that is why I choose you. I believe you won't lose yourself to the demon and won't treat them badly]

[I don't know what their plan is but as long as my family is safe that's enough for me. Don't worry you will be strong enough to protect my family. If you are ready to leave, you can open the door and................]

Leaning against the wall, the man focused on the boy's story, but then his voice faded away. He called him multiple times, but the boy was gone, leaving him alone and dumbfounded.

Aimlessly walking around the room, he thought about the boy, doubting his decision. "What if the demon showed you an illusion and everything is fake? How can you be sure about it, you got attacked like in your dream, there is a chance that the attacker is the same demon that came to your dream."

"Now, what should I do? At least I know where I'm going if I help him, and he didn't tell me if I can refuse him or not."

After a few minutes of thinking, he decided he would go to the world where the boy lives, and the truth is everything piqued his interest. A fantasy world is only fiction in his old world.

Grabbing the doorknob, he opened the door without any difficulties. The last time he tried to open it, the door was pretty tightly shut. Opening the door, All he could see was a dark pitch whirlpool. He couldn't see the other side. At first, he tried to touch it with his finger, but then his body immediately got pulled in by a strong invisible force.

*Bragg*
On the other side of the portal, the man came out and fell from the height, kissing the floor. He pushed his way up with his hands. Looking up, He was shocked. He saw a woman in front of him.

An enchantress, a beautiful woman with white milk skin, pitch black hair with two majestic horns, blood-colored hypnotizing eyes, and scarlet lips. She was dressed in a skimpy outfit, revealing her voluptuous assets. Her figure was too seductive that one single glimpse was enough for any man to drool in their mind. On her back, she had two bat wings and a thin-long tail that had a love shape at the end of it.

But that wasn't the only one that shocked him. The woman was sitting on top of the bed, and it wasn't any other bed. He was inside his old room, on the earth.

"Welcome.....Your old world is pretty interesting," She said. The woman was smiling at him and welcoming him in a flirty way. If the man is in actual body, he surely will get his lust raised instantly.

"You... You are the demon?" He asked her, assuming after he saw her black-purplish bat wings and remembered kayron last words.

"Hmm, you can call me Lith. As my queen's order, I will be your serv... Helper from now on." She explained.

"Queen?" He asked her.

"Yes, my queen, my highness Luxuria. The one who summoned you to this world." She said it proudly while widening her smile.

Arching his brows, he thought, "Luxuria... Isn't that lust?" He thought. Then he unconsciously stared at her, observing her figure. "No wonder this woman's prettiness is other-worldly. She is a succubus." He assumed.

She laughed softly, "I can hear your thought too, you know. Too bad you are not in your actual body, I can't see your full reaction. Anyway, we have more important things to do now. Kayron's body on the outside is in a crisis state."

She got up from the bed and moved toward him. Grabbing his hand, She said. "You will get Kayron memories when you go to the real world, so I will only tell you the basic knowledge about the world and why you are here."

Then she teleported herself with him to another location. Flying in the sky and looking at the world, he was amazed by what the world looked like. There weren't any skyscrapers or high-floor buildings. He felt like he lives in the middle age era.

Listening to what Lith said, He discovered the world is called Dornesia, and human isn't the only one that lives in this world. Dwarf, Elf, Demi-human, Demon, and many more races with a smaller population. Though Demon lives in another dimension that is connected to the world.

His excitement raised as she told him about magic, everyone who lives in this world is very dependent on magic, and everything is just like what he expected, except for one thing, there was something that made him surprised. White screen windows that he had known as System windows from his old world exist too.

"I'm guessing that I need to go to the real world first to check mine? Or can I check mine here too?" He said.

Seeing his reaction, she laughed. "You can't yet, you will need to go to the real world first, inside kayron's body."

"Ahh, I see. Now I know about the world, but I still don't know what is the purpose for me to come into this world and why Kayron made a pact with your queen?" He asked.

She smiled at him. Linking her arm with his, she teleported herself with him to the location where they met for the first time. In his bedroom, they sat on the edge of the bed and talked about his question.

"Well, you will be the next demon lord candidate for this world, and you will be competing with 6 other people. As for Kayron, His body is special. He is a perfect vessel, but after he gets attacked, his soul is badly wounded. I don't know how, but my queen found a way to summon your soul into this world and let you possess his body."

The man was shocked. Everything that she said was more than he expected. Surely he was guessing an unbelievable reason, but this one was on another level.

"My queen said that Kayron will be the future hero in this world, and someone like you, the one that comes from the other world will possess his body." She said, continuing her talk even after she saw him shocked.

"Wait...Hold on." He was overwhelmed. Meanwhile, Lith was only smiling, amused to see his reaction.

After asking so many questions, he found out that the six demon lord candidates weren't someone like him. They were originally born in this world, and the one who kidnapped Kayron was also a demon, but it wasn't coming from Luxuria's order. It was coming from another Demon faction. These demon factions were based on the seven sins. Too bad Lith's knowledge about the current situation was limited, she couldn't answer everything, since Luxuria herself was keeping it secret.

They kept talking until it was time for the man to go to the real world, and possess Kayron's body, which was being held by a group of corrupted humans and demons.

"Remember, As soon as you go there. Activate your system, so I can help you immediately."

The man nodded, then closed her eyes while Lith cast her unknown spell to send his soul to Kayron's body.
