Chapter 2 2. God…Huh?
"I want to be a demon."
The boy repeated with resolute eyes.
"Are 'YOU' sure?"
The voice asked the boy once again.
"Yes, I am sure of it. I want to be a demon."
The boy did not back off his words.
"Very well. Hope you achieve great success, my *Beep*"
The last word that the voice said was beeped for some reason.
The boy once again lost consciousness.

[POV to first person]
"Khuh!"
I opened my eyes.
For the first time in 10 years, I was able to see the world with both of my eyes.
But my happiness did not last long.
"Khuh! Ugh!"
I spat some liquid out.
I was feeling quite dizzy and there was some weight over my chest.
My body felt heavy. This was something new for my malnourished self.
Although I always felt weak, I never felt heavy.
"What is this?"
I wondered as in my eyesight there was some object connected to my chest.
My questions were immediately answered as I recognized the object.
'A sword.'
Although its hilt and blade were as good as broken, and the sword looked blunt, it was still pierced through my chest.
'Someone has pierced a sword through my chest.'
As I thought about it, my hands moved instinctively and I grabbed the sword and pulled it out.
Spree-
As soon as I removed the sword a fountain of black-colored liquid gushed out of my chest.
"AHHHHH-."
I shouted. The pain was agonizing.
This pain was something, I was not familiar with.
But the pain did not last long.
After a few seconds, which felt like years, my blood stopped oozing.
There was a sword scar, but it did not bleed.
"Ha… huff…"
I tried breathing. The situation was not so understandable at this moment.
I wanted to ask 'What's going on here? Or What the hell is this place? Etc.' like those novel MCs but my throat was not in cooperation for that.
…
I did not hear any moment, nor did I feel any presence around me.
I immediately started to collect the pieces of my memory and started looking around in the hope of understanding the situation.
Soon I remembered about my death back on earth.
I started remembering everything.
'The year 2022, September 5, the Asian continent, country India, city… hm? I don't remember city or state, nor do I remember my name back then.'
My thoughts were instinctive.
I was grasping the situation, is what I want to say. But to be honest I was checking the log of those memories.
At some point, I remembered every trauma I faced.
But there were some issues. My memory seems to be distorted.
Indeed.
Now to increase my workload, I got another shock.
Once again the agonizing pain took over, but this time it was my brain.
It was sharp and sudden pain.
I was not even able to scream.
'Just what is going on?'
I questioned myself while holding my head and rolling on the ground.
My head became fuzzy. And my body stopped on its own.
The pain started to subdue. And in that split second a memory flashed over,
***
"You! You bastard!!!"
The man in front of me shouted at top of his lungs.
He was crying and agonizing over something.
He was holding a sword, blue hair, white skin, violet eyes, 5 feet 11 inches in height at max, I say.
'If this person was on Earth, he must've become an actor if not a model.'
I thought to myself. For some reason, this place did not resemble Earth at all. I have had a hunch about what must've happened to me.
But I kept it to myself.
"I Will Kill You!!!!"
Snapping me out of my stupor was the same guy.
'He is barely able to stand, yet he is shouting about killing me, what a noob.'
I looked at the guy in front of me with disdain.
'We haven't even met before, why is he attacking me?'
I was confused.
Although I look ugly, you can just ignore me, you know? You don't have to come shouting 'I will kill you!' if you found someone not good-looking.
"Hmph!"
For the first time, I opened my mouth, just to snort at his words.
I easily dodged his attacks.
'This guy fights the same way, those people on street used to do.'
This was my only thought.
He had no technique nor any power.
He was just swinging the blunt sword in his hand.
"Huff… huff… you… lowly… demon! What if I can't kill you in this state-"
He shouted but stopped in the middle.
His eyes were indicating something… that is…fear.
Yes, he was fearing me for some reason.
Then I realized, my body was heating up!
"T-that K-killing int- ugh…"
Was I showing him any intent? No. I was not even taking him seriously.
Why was he cowering now? I really don't understand!
"Ha..ha..what you called me!"
My body temperature was rising at an alarming rate.
I was feeling… anger.
'What part made me feel angrier though?'
I was still in my thoughts.
'Lowly? Or Demon? Or both?'
But my questions did not last long.
My fangs grew, and I felt like my eyes turning red.
And I attacked the person in front of me.
'I will kill Him!'
That was my thought, because of which I did not notice something.
There was a short grin on that guy's face.
The moment I noticed that grin my body shuddered and my survival instincts told me to pull back.
But I was too drowned in my anger to hold back anymore!
I took my right hand which somehow looked like a claw, near my chest and prepared myself to snap that asshole's neck.
It was at that moment I heard the voice of a woman.
"Holy Chains!"
My legs were locked with some weird chains and the next moment.
"See you in the afterlife, filthy Demon!!!"
The guy said something and shoved the tip of his sword in the direction of my throat. However, just as it was about to come near my throat, I pushed my toes to jump a little and take the sword inside my chest.
'And it worked. Good job myself!'
I patted my back. For some reason, I felt it was safer to take the attack on my chest rather than my throat.
Although I was off balance, my toes saved my life and the trajectory changed.
My heart is also safe.
I just have to suffer some blood loss…
I felt like my consciousness was drowning once again.
However, even though the sword was inside my chest I did not feel any pain.
Before closing my eyes I saw…
"W-we did it… L-luna… we cleaned some filth, the god will save our souls, we are definitely g-going in h-heave-…"
Thud-
That handsome guy dropped to the ground with a thud, while speaking with the woman who was also lying on the ground.
The woman was dead, and the man also died before completing his words.
Before closing my eyes there was only one thought.
'God, huh?'
