8 Side Story 1.1 (Bonus Chapter)

NAME: The Clowns are the Strongest

Firstly, I'd like to say this is not my work, it was my friend that created it and asked me to post it.

Also, any complaints you have about this side story is none of my business, I think it's great, so take some time to read it.

Lastly, this story is in no way related to the main story just some short novels, so you can skip it if you find it boring and tell me if it's boring so I can rub it in his face.

…

In most olden days' fantasy worlds, people use magic as a source of power. That includes economically and socially to improve their lives and also to protect themselves. But in this world it's different.

Imagine a world where demons were used as a source of power, where humans and demons could coexist and be friendly, won't it be funny to see how it could be? Tell me that you've never once thought about it. If not, better start thinking about it…

IN this world long ago, the first human emperor summoned a demon and made a pact with him thus that was the first demon. Due to this, many tried making pacts with demons, borrowing their power using it as their own but as the proverb says "for one good thing, a greater thing is taken." Many died while trying this as either the power was too great for them to handle or the demon consumed them, it was mainly nobles and a few special commoners who were able to succeed

But let's not talk too much and see more of it…

Welcome to my world, where anything and everything goes wrong…

…

Two young boys could be seen exchanging sword blows, this was of course Dlyke and Teiyo. Each held a wooden sword and seemed no greater than 7 as they continued their spar and as usual, Dlyke won while Teiyo was on the floor again.

Dlyke pointed his sword at Teiyo with a smile as he said "aren't you tired of losing?"

"Shut up beef head and get ready for the next round"

"*sigh* such a sore loser, it's not my fault you're so weak"

Teiyo hurriedly stood up as he began an onslaught of attacks on Dlyke who easily blocked it all. But then he tripped on a stone behind him and fell ass first to the ground. Now the roles were reversed as Dlyke was on the floor while Teiyo pointed his sword at him.

With a smirk, he said, "how does it feel to be the loser now, beef head?"

"Hey no fair, I tripped on a stone that's why I lost" Dlyke fired back with a tick mark on his forehead.

"*sigh* such a sore loser, it's not my fault you're so weak"

"You bastard, I'll make you pay for this" Dlyke shouted as he stood up and launched at Teiyo.

From then on they continued fighting and had as much fun as possible.

.

Dlyke was the second child of the Duke house of flowers while Teiyo was the first child of the Duke house of Templeton. These two were best of friends and also rivals in everything (including 'stupidness') and even if things didn't go well in their lives, their bond never grew weak.

Both were seated on the ground panting and sweating profusely, clearly tired from all the fighting. They decided to discuss after regaining some energy.

"Hey Dlyke, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah sure"

"Ok, why do you love training so much?"

"It's quite simple, so I can protect all the women in the kingdom" he answered with stars in his eyes.

"Pfft… wow what a… haha… womanizer," Teiyo said between laughs as he rolled on the floor

"Hey stop laughing, if mine is so funny what's yours?"

"Oh, mine? Well it's to get strong so my dad can finally acknowledge me" he said with determination.

Dlyke was quite surprised when he heard this "I never expected an idiot like you to have such a reason. But you do know your dad is the second strongest in the kingdom after the king right?"

"Yeah, that's why I have to do it"

"Hearing that, I'm also motivated. Just wait after we get our own contracted demon we will be the strongest"

"Yeah, in 3 years, the whole kingdom will know our names" they both smiled.

Dlyke then said "anyway, let's go take a bath, we stink"

"Yeah, let's have a bath together!"

"Hell no, if I do that, I'll become as stupid as you"

"Shut up beef head and damn, how are you taller than me?"

"It's quite simple, I'm no dwarf"

"You shameless womanizing b*tch"

"you thick-headed breast-obsessed moron"

And things remained the same for the duo. Sunny, happy fun days of being together until the day finally came.

It was Teiyo's 10th birthday and the day he was to make his pact with a demon. It was a grand occasion as the nobles of the kingdom gathered at the Templeton mansion for the occasion.

The party was great, everything was doing great until it was finally time for the most important event of the night, the summoning ritual.

Teiyo stood at the altar and was given a pen knife by a maid which he used to cut himself. Using the blood from his hand, he drew a summoning circle.

Dlyke who wasn't so far away was watching with bated breath as he grew anxious and impatient with each passing second wondering what kind of demon will come out.

Teiyo looked at his friend and smiled before returning to the circle and began the ritual. As soon as he did, the wind began gathering into the circle and it began glowing before suddenly… nothing happened.

Everyone watching was shocked but the one most affected by this was the caster himself, Teiyo. He didn't understand what had happened so he tried again but the result was the same, he kept trying but it was in vain,

It seemed as though he had failed…
