Chapter 002: The Beginning

A 65-year-old man with a well-built/fit body, blue eyes, and a handsome appearance for his age sat on a chair in a hut that was situated in a forest with a river nearby and a large field of grass, as well as a village two kilometers away. While watching TV, the old man shook his head.

Sigh

"… It seems that the government still plans on taking us to war, but this time it will be devastating as they will employ nuclear weapons."

He muttered to himself, thinking of the impending nuclear war.

"I guess the company that I worked so hard for and that has supported my family for over a decade will crumble to dust tomorrow or today…"

His main emotion wasn't sadness, but rather a sense of unwillingness to let his work crumble. He did not really feel more than that, except for pity for his family and grandchildren, since their future looked bleak.

"It's quite fortunate for me to die before that damn nuclear war begins."

Seeing his device to the right of his room, he realized that his heart could stop at any moment.

He decided to get up and go outside rather than stay in bed and die like all the other old men. Upon exiting the door and walking to the river, he noticed a bright light in the distance and was blinded by it as he started laughing for some reason.

'I guess this means goodbye, at least the view is a first...'

"Heh, what a beautiful sight HahahahahHAHAHAHAHA…!!!"

And then the shockwave arrived, as well as the heatwave of atomic radiation that engulfed him as his vision went dark. It is unknown whether he died from the shockwave/heat or his heart attack first…

The only thing with certainty, is that he is dead.

POV Earth

A variety of political reasons led every country in the world to join the war after his death. Nevertheless, they didn't realize that irreversible damage had already been done to the planet beforehand, as various "signs" have already foretold.

Hence, Earth blew up after many coincidences aligned. A certain soul disappeared from space-time and resurfaced in the distant past.

In an Abyssal Black Egg…

This was obviously not normal.

—————————————————————

After he died, he felt like he was floating in the water without breathing. It seemed natural. But something was wrong, as he floated in that strange water for an extremely long time and had already gone through his life more than once. Yet, he didn't feel any discomfort but rather saw it as the most comfortable sleep he ever got. If he truly got to decide whether he wanted to live or sleep in this weird water, he'd choose to stay in the weird water ten times out of ten.

However, he clearly began to feel that he wouldn't stay here forever. The longer he floated there in what seemed to be the best bed and sleep he could ever imagine, the more he felt the urge to drink all the weird water around him. As his instincts were beginning to urge him to do exactly that, he started to hear a whisper that gradually got louder. Once it got loud enough, he heard a deep cold mechanic voice.

[Abyss: "We". welcome. you.

May you usher growth and despair to all Demonkind and bring DOOM upon all worlds,

On the " Day. Of. Judgement. "]

After he heard the voice go silent, he noticed that some strange mark had appeared in his mind that started showing him his appearance, as well as a status tab like in those games he played as a kid.

What baffled him was his supposed appearance, which showed a Demon with a height of 2 meters, 2 big horns, and multiple smaller horns forming a crown, as well as two reverse wings that looked epic and frightening in terms of their size and appearance, as they were not only huge but also razor-sharp at their edges.

Furthermore, the tail looked as though it was designed for killing, with its blade-like appearance and armor-like plates for movement, in addition to the sharp end, which was probably used for thrusts in order to penetrate defenses.

He calmed down and looked at his status tab, which looked like this:

[Name]: Diablo

[Race]: Demon

[Bloodline]: Chaos Demon

[True Demon Name]: Diablo Xiodo Tadren Alucard Landisher... Ramos Osiris

[Title]: First Demon,

…

"So I'm a Demon...?"

"Hmm...where am I anyway…?"

When he "said" that, he began to feel an intense hunger, which eventually caused him to drink all the "water" surrounding him, which led him to "wake up" when he realized that he was curled up in a ball surrounded by what felt like a hard stone to him.

To escape his confinement, he pressed on all the walls around him, creating cracks that eventually fell apart.

Crack

Crack

poof

After everything fell apart, he felt an intense sense of hunger and weakness.

He ate up what seemed to be shards lying on the black sand that surrounded him. After he ate everything up like a good boy, he finally felt reborn and began inspecting his surroundings.

The first thing he noticed when taking his first breath was that the "air" smelled like heavy sulfur, and yet, he felt refreshed. He shrugged it off as a reaction to his new body, thinking that Demons liked sulfuric environments.

He saw that he was on some kind of island in the middle of darkness, surrounded by countless eggs on a beach with an abyssal black red sea that seemed to stretch endlessly. The "moon" shone on it, looking gigantic as it was also abyssal black in color and released strange purple abyssal black light upon the whole "world". In the background, there was a gigantic volcano that would make any mountain in his previous life, like Mount Everest, seem like a small hill instead.

(Picture Here)

While he was admiring the environment,

Sigh

"I don't believe this is a dream. I feel like I was born again, even though it seems unreal to me. Therefore, unless I am blind or an idiot, which I am not, this can't be a dream.

So it should be crystal clear by now that I have been reborn…

As a Demon."

He wondered if he was the main character in some weird story just by the novelty of this experience...

[The Fourth Wall starts shaking in fear…]

His voice caused a lot of noise in his surroundings. He looked around and saw that all the eggs started shaking.

Crack Crack Crack Crack

Crack Crack Crack Crack

Crack Crack Crack

Crack Crack

Crack

POOF

The demon eggs hatched…

[To be continued…]

I added some easter eggs (from other stories) and memes throughout the prelude and this chapter.

I'm looking forward to seeing if you guys are able to find them. 😄

Do you have any ideas on how I could make it better?

Did you like it?

Is there anything wrong that I need to correct?
