RISE OF THE HOLY DEMONIC GOD

When the next day with a bright shine, motivating everyone to engage in their daily routines or discover something new, a certain someone's morning was neither bright or joyful.

Rey, upon waking up, went into his bathroom to clean his face. While washing, he noticed something alarming: a finger on his left hand appeared dark, as if he were wearing a ring. He then realized that the of the previous night were not imaginary. The ring had indeed merged with him during the fight in the white space which he thought as some illusion or some kind of these spirts prank.

During the fight, Rey tried to block attack, but the opponent (the ring) was too powerful for him to hold his ground. He was slightly beaten. He hoped his words would not come true, but the ring, which looked like it was worn normally, was actually embedded like a tattoo on his finger.

Rey attempted to wash it off, but nothing came out. He was even about to try to cut it off for one such chance to get away from it but only thing he got was a quick pain in his brain by Aiden. He finally that he was in crazy situation. He went to his room and sat on his bed with a calm expression, though only the trio residing inside him could understand his true feelings.

"Aiden, am I really going to sink into this destiny to become the heir of a family or whatever they are?"

He asked him after everything appeared in front of him with a face full of dullness like after getting tired of running away from something you don't like.

But there was no reply from the other side as Aiden also had complicated emotions bubbling in his mind, unsure whether he should tell him or not.

However, after seeing the sad and complex face of Rey, he gave in and decided to tell him the truth which he had been hiding since he saw his name and learned about the laws and their effects.

"Rey, I know that you just wish to live a normal life, but with everything that has happened since our meeting, you know that things can't go back to the way they were. The path is already left behind in the dust of time. So, if you wish to hear the whole truth, be prepared to accept the reality you are in right now. Just follow our lead, which can help you survive in this world that is going to into something terrible, not fit for normal beings to live in." Aiden told him. Rey, who heard this, became silent and after some time replied.

"You know Aiden, when I met you and helped you rescue Zero in that factory a few days ago, I already started to feel that my life couldn't continue the way I wished, one way or another I will be going to get into some mess. So just reveal the information by which you have to sink me deeper into the struggle where I will try to live and survive in the world you talked about." He said with a grin, though his body was a little shaky, his resolve was not.

"Okay then, from here on, my host, I will prepare even to survive in the abyss for sure...." Aiden said as he looked at to gauge his reaction, but what he got was.

"But am I really going to survive in the abyss?" Rey asked for.

"Oh geez, it's just a way of talking, kid. Don't bother and now listen to what I know or just go die while trying by yourself and then don't come to me asking for help."

"No, I will listen, so please don't get angry, and please, oh all-knowing Aiden sir. Can you share your precious knowledge about my so-called family surname?" he said, trying to flatter as much as he could.

"Okay, okay, don't flatter so much and listen. I am now going to tell you about the man and the family you have become part of."

"So, millions of years ago when our previous master wa...."

"Hey, wait, don't start your previous great heroic master story. Just tell me about the thing or leave it like that," Rey said, interrupting him, which made him quite angry, but he decided to hold it and told him.

"Listen, kid, that's what I'm getting at, so just shut up and listen. Where was I? Ah yes, I was talking about my previous host from a few million years ago. It was during a time when our host was still a Tier 9 being trying to climb to the Tenth-tier rank. He came across a mysterious site in the deepest floor of a space called abyss, where a certain family described by one of the abyss rulers. The name was <Shadow Throne>, a family to have no more than two members alive every time a new one is added. The whole family isn't born normally but is taken into the family with certain requirements to fulfill.

The requirements were not disclosed, and even the introduction wasn't mentioned on the site. Every host of the family was said to be emotionless, ruthless, and self-centered. The specialty of these beings was that they wielded a specific type of law, an origin law called <Darkness>. Each one of them has an Origin grade law of Darkness, which makes them unique compared to other group or clan in the world. I didn't expect such a powerful family to exist but not reveal itself to the world like that when they can rule the whole cosmos rivers and even the #$%@%$ land. 'Argh, these restrictions are so annoying'. But what can you expect from these and a family that only has two members at most at any given time?
The information was written very carefully, as if the person who wrote it knew those individuals very well. It was said that the beings wield the absolute power of Darkness to control and do anything in this world, which could even threaten the existence living beings here, due to a certain class they have. However, the whole information and hints were not written comprehensively.
The only weakness they have is that the members of the family were unable to go beyond the Eighth tier due to dying before or being taken over by their laws, leading them to kill themselves. All those in this family were said to have no one above the Eighth or even Seventh grade. This made his master quite relieved as he could kill him easily if he encountered such a powerful enemy.

It must have been a bad day when he thought about it as really, he encounters a man who perfectly fit the description of the family member, who also visited the abyss to erase all information about their family left behind by the deceased Ruler of Abyss. His face devoid of emotions, his presence like non- existing his face so much charming like made by mixing the highest-grade beauties around the worlds. 

To his surprise, the person was a being of Tier 8, even at its peak. But the power he held was unimaginable. In trying to destroy the data site, he went toe to toe with my master, but our master was the true sole winner of the battle. However, at what cost? The entire information of the site was destroyed by the man, and my master also suffered heavy injuries. 

The only good side was that the foundation of power that the man held was destroyed by his master, as even his mental stability was dulled after that, causing him to run away.

I didn't expect that he would be hiding in such low-level planets of such a small cosmos. Even though our master ordered his army to find every link to the family there were no clues about them, not even a single hint to find them like they didn't exist as my master must have thought that it was just a dream if he wasn't injured in that battle, no one could expect that he was walking around in such low-level universes. We can't express anything now, but fate really did bring such tragic corners. The beings I hated for hurting my master back then have become my new host, which I didn't expect to happen," he said while recounting the entire incident, sending a shiver down Rey's spine as he felt some danger from the last few lines of his.
