An Extraordinary World, An Uncommon Youth

In the past, the ancients possessed a much less profound understanding of the world compared to our present knowledge. They often regarded as mysterious creatures things they couldn't explain, attributing awe to phenomena beyond their comprehension.

These invisible and intangible entities, unexplainable by the knowledge of their time, were collectively known as "demons."

In earlier ages, various natural disasters occurred in this country due to geographical reasons.

The fear of the destructive and creative forces of nature inevitably led to awe in the hearts of weaker humans.

Invisible, intangible forces beyond human comprehension had surpassed the scope of understanding. However, people always had a dual perspective on supernatural powers.

The bright, benevolent, and warm forces were revered as "gods."

The dark, terrifying, and mysterious forces were referred to as "demons" by people.

With the progress of time, various technologies slowly appeared in human life, and people began to realize that ancient legends, in the face of current science, were not as plausible as they seemed. The legends of ancestors seemed quite ridiculous.

But... legends originate from life. Can all the mysterious stories of the past be explained by modern science?

Ukiyo is a famous street in Tokyo. To understand why it's famous, we have to go back to the past.

It is said that during the Edo period, this was the liveliest street with lanterns lit everywhere. This often led to the appearance of demons, creating many legends.

However, today, Ukiyo Town has become an ordinary street. The vibrant scenery of the past is nowhere to be seen among the moss-covered alleys and steps, surrounded by the decay of the surroundings. It clearly looks out of sync with the well-lit cities.

The progress of the times has caused most people to forget their fear of demons, and curiosity about the legendary "demons" has even arisen.

Ukiyo Town, with many legends, has attracted many tourists.

The local government, seeing the potential for profit, decided not to develop the surrounding area but instead tried to maintain the ancient charm.

However, over the years, despite attracting many tourists to Ukiyo, no one has ever witnessed real demons. Eventually, this street became obscure.

People who came chasing the "demons" fame left disappointed. Over time, the street fell into disrepair, becoming a damp, dark, and lawless zone.

Local authorities seem to have completely given up on this area. Consequently, both the environment and security are quite poor.

Now, except for some "demon enthusiasts" with loose screws in their heads, local residents have also moved away.

In the early morning, at the intersection of a street in Ukiyo, there was an unusual flow of people, prompting the police to raise a cordon.

Many media outlets rushed to the scene like vultures smelling carrion, picking up their devices and frantically pressing the shutter.

Although the police were trying to cover up, paparazzi always managed to find the best angles to press the shutter.

For this country, those holding cameras are not simple; wanting a decent job, they become photojournalists.

If they want to earn more, find a few girls preparing to enter the adult industry, and in no time, they can create an action blockbuster.

A young boy stared at a bicycle that looked much older than him as he passed through the street where he used to go to school. He couldn't help but furrow his brow with a sense of disgust.

"Ding, detected lingering demon aura in the air. As an aspiring monster lord, your territory has been disturbed by ignorant little monsters. Eliminate the monsters causing trouble in your area, and let them know the consequences of offending the great monster lord. Reward: Human reputation 100 points, monster reputation 300 points."

Hearing the electronic sound in his mind, Yuto had wanted to complain more than once. He really had no interest in the so-called demon lord.

But this system seemed to enjoy steering him in the direction of the so-called "demon lord" at all times.

"Have those things come out again? And this time, it seems they even caused casualties.

Troublesome. I thought coming to another world would allow me to be lazy and become a cool guy, but this world seems even more troublesome than the original."

Although he muttered like this, Yuto's body still honestly moved towards the crowd.

It is human nature to enjoy a spectacle, no matter which country or world it is in.

Of course, the key is not to be the one attracting attention.

Yuto parked the bike, which looked much older than him, to the side and, after locking it carefully, squeezed into the crowd with great effort.

"Why the hell are you pushing? Do you think this is a chest? Can you get in by pushing and squeezing?"

Yuto's rude actions in the crowd had originally caused dissatisfaction with a watching woman. However, when she turned around and saw Yuto's appearance, her expression immediately softened.

Indeed, it turns out that people judge by appearances in any world. Politely declining the phone number left by the middle-aged woman, Yuto couldn't help but sigh. Truly, time travel is a skill, and with his current looks, he could probably save himself from struggling for at least twenty years.

In fact, Yuto isn't from this world; he's what they call a time traveler. When he arrived in this world, his body was that of a half-grown child. The reasons for his time travel are unclear, and the factors leading to it are mysterious, but getting back seems unlikely.

Now, living a second life, he not only transformed into a fresh-faced heartthrob but also has looks and a sister. Yuto feels that this time-traveling adventure is quite rewarding. His full name is Yuto Tenshoin, and both his looks and height are impressive, especially his face, which is downright handsome.

When Yuto first arrived through time, he quickly accepted his current identity. There were several reasons for this swift acceptance. Exposure to novels and games had desensitized Yuto to supernatural phenomena. Secondly, being exceptionally good-looking provided an immediate sense of belonging, alleviating the anxiety associated with time travel.

Inheriting his mother's chestnut-colored hair, standing at a height of six feet, Yuto possesses charming features with a hint of mischief. Despite being financially challenged, his good looks would, at the very least, allow him to make a living by pushing tanks if necessary.

However, after living in this world for a few years with a handsome face, Yuto realized that this world was far from ordinary. Apart from humans, there existed another type of being – demons.

That's right, as the literal meaning suggests, all kinds of demons from supernatural tales actually exist in this world! Even he himself is not a regular human but a half-demon.

Although the reality is harsh, Yuto has to accept that he's not a pure human. Moreover, this world is not as simple as it seems, just like the scene unfolding in front of him.

In a dimly lit alley, there's something lying on the ground, vaguely visible but covered by a white cloth placed by the police. Yuto senses a faint residue of demonic energy in the air, likely the demon the system mentioned earlier – a creature causing chaos in his territory.

In an era where time travelers don't come equipped with plug-ins, it's awkward to greet others when going out. Yuto is no exception, even though the system often manipulates his actions.

Despite the frequent interference, there's no denying that the system has indeed made him much stronger over the years.

"Why are you getting so close? Is this a place for a child like you to be?"

"Children, don't be too curious. Go back and study quickly. Be careful not to see things you shouldn't see; you'll have nightmares tonight."

Yuto originally wanted to approach and see the unfortunate person's body, but before he could reach the body covered in a white cloth, someone grabbed him by the back collar.

Upon turning around, he finds himself face to face with a strikingly beautiful girl with pink straight hair, despite being in a police uniform. Although she has a Lolita face, her bust is disproportionate to her body, making Yuto wonder if a chest-expanding exercise might cause her top to burst instantly.

"The buttons on the other person's shirt must be suffering unimaginable pain..."

"Kid, I'm talking to you. Where should you put your eyes?"

"Ah, I'm watching the ball... I mean, I'm watching what's happening over there." Due to the opponent's overwhelming size, Yuto almost blurts out that he was just watching a game in Civilization.

Even though Yuto's current identity is a high school student, and the girl in front of him has clearly entered society, calling him a little kid based on her appearance is not convincing at all. In fact, standing next to her, Yuto looks older, not because of his appearance but because, despite his impressive figure, he truly has a Lolita face.

"Whether you heard what I just said or not, it's best to leave here quickly. We are still investigating. If onlookers ruin the scene, they'll be scolded by the team leader again when they go back. This is not a place for a student like you to wander around; be careful of being arrested as a suspect."

The girl pushes Yuto away while continuously warning him. Although she lacks intimidation with her appearance, Yuto can't help but feel that she's not to be underestimated.

"Suspect my foot! That person clearly wasn't taken down by an ordinary person. If I'm not mistaken, that person not only died horribly, but their body should also be incomplete, likely bitten to pieces."
