Ch. 62

In a different universe, a 14-year-old blue-haired boy was scrubbing the floor inside a restroom.

Sweats were dripping on his forehead while having a satisfied expression.

He is Suzuki Iruma. Iruma has blue spiky slightly long hair and is known for having his trademark cowlick. He has blue eyes and blue hair that is tied in a ponytail.

Iruma has lived a life with his carefree parents who took advantage of his kind nature to do all sorts of things, from doing household work to forcing him to work in high-risk jobs so that his parents could have an easy life. His parents were basically leeching off him whenever he was paid in his jobs.

Due to the fact that he was not properly taken care of by his parents, he has not undergone any form of formal schooling and is currently uneducated.

While scrubbing the dirty floors, a translucent screen suddenly appears in front of him, shocking him.

"Waaahh!" Iruma tried to push the screen away, however, his hands just phased through it, confusing and shocking him.

It was only then that he noticed a text on the screen that says, "Would you like to join the Dimensional Group Chat?"

If there is one disadvantage of him being kind-hearted, then that is because he can't refuse when someone asks him something to do.

So, trying so hard to refuse, Iruma finally gave up and said, "Y-Yes."

[Joining Group Chat....]

And before he knew it, the translucent screen expanded and he could finally see the text.

[Test Subject 007 has joined the group chat.]

[Test Subject 007: Hueh?! W-what's this?]

[Demon King Candidate has joined the group chat.]

Iruma doesn't know what to do, or perhaps to say something.

From what he can see, it seems like this Group Chat can allo-.

He didn't manage to finish his thinking when sudden information appeared in his mind.

A few minutes later, Iruma recovered and he seems to know the functions and info about the Group Chat.

It turns out, it was a flush of information about the Dimensional Group Chat that appeared on his mind earlier.

"T-this is something out of this world!?!" Iruma panics at the thought of being a guinea pig for Gods and Aliens.

He breathes in and out, trying to calm himself down so he could think rationally.

After then, he tried to send a message or something, but he was clueless when it comes to conversations, especially with someone out of this universe.

Iruma was already getting dizzy by all of this, so he decided to let his presence known already.

[DMC: ....]

Iruma froze when he was about to send a message. He can't do it.

Not only that, but he could also send a message with his thoughts.

Fortunately, a message popped up, keeping him away from his shyness.

[Sorcerer Supreme: Welcome.]

"Sorcerer Supreme?" Iruma mutters in confusion.

He doesn't know what Sorcerer means but he could tell that it sounds cool.

"Wait, what's my name here?" He then checked his name before getting lost in the panic.

"D-D-DEMON KING?!?" Iruma starts to panic when he saw his name.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

"Hey kid, hurry up will you?" A loud knocking came out of the front door, forcing Iruma to respond immediately.

"Y-yes!" After replying, he then went back to scrubbing the floor.

'I-I'm not a bad person? Am I?' Horror spreads on his face.

He then imagines himself having an arrogant expression, a tail with a pointy tip, and 2 horns protruding on each side of his forehead, while on his hand is a flaming sword. He was also laughing maniacally.

'That's definitely not me!!'

While Iruma was panicking, Xyrus finally went back to the Sanctum so he could further study the System.

Once he was back, he opens the Chat room again and sent a message.

[Sorcerer Supreme: would the two of you like to introduce yourselves.]

[Test Subject 007: my name is Anya and Anya is 5!]

[Sorcerer Supreme: well Anya, that's good. How about you @DMC?]

[DMC: M-me?! A-ano... E-etoo...]

At first, Xyrus was getting eager to know about the Demon King Candidate and to see if he was the same demon as the demons he knew of.

But just seeing his stuttering, Xyrus got disappointed. Well, what did he expect?

[DMC: M-my name is Suzuki Iruma, and I'm 14 years old.]

[Test Subject 007: Anya is 5!]

[DMC: Y-yeah, you just said it earlier.]

His disappointment was immeasurable when he learned that Iruma was a normal human, and a Japanese human at that.

"Is this all of them?" Xyrus asks.

[5 invitations were sent. So the other 3 haven't accepted yet.]

"Well, while waiting for them, I have a question for you."

[What is it, sensei?]

"Since you have a shop, then does that mean you have something to revive my mother, right?"

[Yes, however, reviving her will be nigh-impossible. From my information, you cannot revive someone without a soul, and your mom was killed by an Outer-God or perhaps a servant of it, right?]

Xyrus now regrets asking, since all he got was painful words, that stabbed him in the heart.

[But there is good news. According to the Outer-Gods, they usually don't consume a soul as soon as they died, instead, an Outer-God keeps souls inside their dimension. In short, Snacks.]

Anger was seen on Xyrus's face right now. He didn't think that his mom would be used as some kind of snack.

"So If I could retrieve my mom's soul, I could resurrect her right?"

[Yes.]

Xyrus's urge to get stronger fast increased. He now has a goal to get stronger. A goal other than revenge.

But first, he needed strength. Although he's strong for now, but that doesn't mean he can't get more stronger. More stronger so he could ensure his win.

At first, he only thought of getting revenge against the Goddess, but now, he has another target.

And that is the Outer-God.

He's not gonna rest until he gets stronger to avenge his mother.

While he was having his moment, everyone around the world was still trying to find the cause of the outburst.

Some had bad intentions while some wanted to form friendly relations.

Unknown to them, only a few could already guess who.
