Chapter 203: Arc 2 Epilogue

The demon princess awakens. The day she awakened is also the day of her relevance in the main story.

"Atlas, have you seen this woman from before when you are still part of the demon army and rule a dungeon?"

"No Master. Even though she is called the demon princess, it seems she is not someone famous or well known even to the lesser demons, so even if you ask me, I don't think I can answer your question about her."

The demon princess seems to catch up on what we are talking about and she slowly goes out from the coffin completely. She wobbles a bit, maybe an aftereffect of being asleep for how long it has been.

"What do you mean I am not famous in the demon realm? I am the one and only demon princess. There is no way no one knows about me!"

She tried to impose her strong aura. However, the moment she did, I only felt a very pitiful amount that even a level 1 slime can beat. And here, she looks so proud of her achievement which is a bit laughable and pitiful.

"Now, you must have recognized my awesomeness right?" the demon princess shows her smug face.

'Master, I think she is getting delusional,' Atlas whispered.

'I think so too. However, just keep it down and just ride on her antics, that way we could know what she will be up to or if she is a threat to us.'

"What are you two whispering at? Tell me, how long have I been asleep? Did Death-sama won the war against the Life God?"

My ears perked up and my eyebrows creased when I heard about it. Death and Life? Aren't they the main divine beings that have been ruling this world since ancient times? I only read some bits of it in the lore, but according to the info, you can compare Death and Life as Zeus and Hades in Greek Mythology. They are both siblings but they govern different realms.

I already know Death since I have her titles and not only her titles but also have an ally that is affiliated to her directly. She was a kind god that rules the afterlife. She is the one who eases the souls of the dead. She is also the judge of the sinners and makes sure that every soul who deserves to rest after the trouble in their lifetime will get it and will deliver punishment to the ones who don't deserve it.

Of course, Death was not loved by all. Most of the populace worship Life, the god that governs life and the being that breathes the life of the world. You can also say she is the mother of all gods that many people know today and she was the origin of the magic that revolves around the world. People worship her especially if they wanted to be blessed with a good life, abundant blessings, and many more.

However, there is one thing that irks me about Life. Unlike Death who values every life in this world, whether you are alive or dead, Life does not care about the entities who have died. Once the life that she bestowed is extinguished, she will not care about it anymore. She would rather create a new living being rather than save an existing being.

It was during the last time I played the game in the past timeline I have known about this but the shrines that players revive are not a shrine connected to the goddess, Life, but was due to the help of Death who makes the effort to revive everyone. But I am already one of the so-called people who believe in the Goddess of Death. She might be the one who governs death and the afterlife but so what? If she was, then that means your soul would be in good hands after your death. You will be ensured to live a good afterlife after your death especially if you are a righteous person.

However, this is the first time I heard about the war between the two gods. They are siblings and they govern different parts of the realms and different kinds of things so why would they go to war is something I am not sure of. So why does the demon princess talking like it happened before?

"Hey, answer me. You are a human so you must have know who won after the war?"

I shook my head and sheathed my weapon. "Honestly, I have no idea what you are talking about. The only war I know is the demonkind against all the other races that live in this world.

"What are you talking about? The demon kind is not like that. Sure that we are strong but why would we make a conflict like that? Isn't that rather kind of pointless?"

"Pointless? No, demon princess-"

"Don't call me demon princess. Although I am a princess, it is a bit of a drag to call me one. Call me by my name. It's Lucia. Remember that, human, and stop referring to me as the demon princess. It is a bit of a drag."

"Alright, Lucia. You must have been asleep for too long that you didn't know the transgression of your race but you should already know. The demons and the other races views your kind as a threat to the world."

"What?! Are you insane? Are you telling me, my people have all become barbarians?!"

"I don't know about you but your kind has been doing any kind of atrocities. Aside from that, if I didn't find the diary of the demon I just killed earlier, you might have not awakened from your deep slumber."

"You killed one of my kind? Why? What kind of things did my kind deserves such cruelty?"

This time, Atlas was the one who answered and took over.

"Princess Lucia. Although I don't recognize you as a demon, I can feel your presence as one of the demons and you seemed to have the pureblood of a demon. I am Atlas, one of the generals that serves the demons before. However, due to some fateful encounters, I meet my master. And my master is saying the right thing. The demons are now doing atrocities. They are now invading different kinds of lands and kill other races for their own benefit. The demon that we killed earlier that my master mentioned has murdered the elf kind and hijacked their village. He was also preparing sacrifices to awaken you, using the blood of the elves that were killed and he collected."

When Lucia heard this, her face looks grim and she seems like she was about to puke.

"Blood of the elves? What kind of abomination do they think I was? Even if they offer countless lives to me, I won't awaken from drinking that! Instead, I would become the enemy of the elves if I do so!"

Atlas continues to explain many things that he knew about the demons and the current movement of the demons. The more he explained, the more the despair in the eyes of the demon princess.

"No, I refuse to believe this..."

I shook my head. It looks like she can't accept the things that happened after she awakened. I don't know from which era she came from but I am sure that it was the time where all the races were all allies and are currently on good terms.

"In that case, if you still can't believe what Atlas just mentioned, then it is better if we show it to you directly? After all, seeing is believing."

Lucia looked at me and she resolutely stood up.

"Of course, I will come along. I am the proud demon princess, if my kind is doing something outrageous, then it is my job as the first princess to straighten the crooked ways of my people!"

A panel appeared before me and I didn't expect to see another one.

[The Demon Princess Lucia wants to become your companion. Will you accept? (Warning: Accepting her will cause some changes in your character and the main story's progress will alter its course. Are you sure you will accept her?)]

Yes/No

Alter my character and also alter the course of the main storyline? What is going on? I am so confused. However, I do not want to miss this hidden storyline. Since the demon princess was not present in the past timeline, I think it is time for me to dive into the hidden side of the story.

I press Yes.
