chapter 16: collecting from the just, how cruel.

'She is a magic user huh.' I thought

'YES AND FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, SHE REALLY HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL.' Death said with a intrigued tone

: "don't worry snow flake, one day I know you will get into the AMW academy and heck are you going to be the best hahahaha." He said and headed to the door.

: "and besides you already have 3 people who will support your dreams okay dear." He said and then headed out of the room, again leaving me and her in the room.

: "thank you onee-chan for keeping your promise." I said while in my blanket.

: "no problem oni-chan, what is family for." She said and my heart just melted by this.

: "y-yes family." I said with tears threating to come out from my eyes.

7 years later:

Dante p.o.v:

'it has been 7 years now and I will be 7 years old this month, although things hasn't been easy for my new family, because turns out that my sister and death was correct about the way they treat we humans like livestock, lower beings, in which just makes my blood boil in rage and anger. Though I can't do much either, I'm just a kid and if I try to use any of my power, then it will start to draw the attention of the higher ops and in doing so might mean the execution of my family for being… corrupted and must be exterminated, so I have agree on not using my powers unless if necessary but at least turns out that I can still train with death in my dream space.' I thought.

as I heard some footsteps before my doors busted open to reveal my big sister, who was now around 14 years old, since she had celebrated her birth day last month even though it was not as big as the royals I have heard about, throwing festivals and feast, since we live at a farm hill close to the main city and from my observation, it seems that this realm is not as developed as my former world, since that in this one they still use swords as primary weapon and horses instead of cars but this world have more magical creatures and so on.

: "DANTE-KUN!!" she shouted and jumped on my bed as my bed was now messed up and I was not amused by this not one bit.

: "please don't show me anymore of your magic progression." I said with air quote and sarcastic voice but it seems that she didn't get what I mean.

: "what do you mean by 'my magic progression', aren't I'm good in magic already." She said with a boastful tone in her voice and I just shake my head why saying 'baka' to her.

: "baka, baka, baka, baka, baka, baka….. Baka." I said to her but it seems that she was already glaring at me and then I had stopped saying baka.

: "okay fine, tell me one time when 'my magic progression' went out of hand if there is, anyway." She said with an annoyed tone in her voice and I just face palmed to this.

: "serious you can't remember whole lightening fiasco, oh wait… that you caused." I said with an angry tone, since the whole scenario happened in my room… and does it still smells like burnt toast in here.

'HAHAHAHAHA YEAH AND WAS IT A TRULY AMAZING SITE TO BEHOLD HAHAHAHA WATCHING YOU SUFFER FILLS ME WITH JOY HAHAHA!" Death said in my mind space, laughing his ass out.

'<Sigh> sadist alert!" I shouted in my mind enough for death to hear it loud and clear.

'GUILTY AS CHARGE BRAT HAHAHAHA!" death said not caring about me calling him a sadist.

: "weirdo..." I said in a silent tone so that death won't hear but was I wrong.

'YOU KNOW I HEARD THAT RIGHT… AND IT SEEMS THAT YOU FORGOT THAT YOUR SISTER IS PRESENT IN THIS ROOM HAHAHA.' Death said and was he right, I had ignored that my sister was still here and apparently, she was waving her hand in front of my face.

: "hhheellllooo… earth to dante-kun…" she said and had flicked my forehead and man did that hurt.

: "HEY! Why did you do that! Baka!.. OUCH! AGAIN, I WAS LISTENING TO YOU!" I shouted at her and then she just folder her arms and gave me a 'seriously' expression.

: "the first was for not listening to me and the second was for calling me an idiot, remember I am your oni-chan so show me some respect… I am older than you." She said while looking at another direction while pouting.

: "that's the point, sure….. 'Even though I'm technically times 10 older than great grandpa.' Then sure old lady." I said with a smile and she was not happy about the whole old lady name.

: "HEY! I'm a very youthful and beautiful girl, why you're just a kid." She while striking a pose and I just laughed.

: "yeah I never said that you were beautiful hahaha it seems that you have voices in your head telling you myths hahahaha-ouch! Come on, so help me I will rip your arm off." I got up from my meditating pose since I wasn't really getting any focus why she was here.

: "hmp I will like to see you try." She said with a childish tone but still I could still see some lightening sparks in the room.

'Oh no, my room!' I snapped out of my angry from the flicking and thought about what will happen to my room.

'OH YES, MAKE HIM SUFFER HAHAHA." Death said in my mind why laughing his ass out like a maniac.

'SADIST!' I shouted at death.

: "o-okay chill onee-chan, I didn't mean the ripping arm thing okay ha…ha…ha." I laughed awkwardly but it only made it worst.

: "oh so I'm a joke now huh dante-kun." She said and the sparks had begun to get larger.

: "e-eh n-no nooo I didn't said." I had already started to sweat.

'Damn it, someone please help me… she is almost as worst as rin. Man and I just finished cleaning my room from last time.' I said and suddenly I was saved by my onee-chan wrath.

: "IRIS DEAR, I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO CALL DANTE DOWN HERE, TO COME HELP ME AND UNCLE SUZOKU."

'Oh that guy again' I thought in disgust.

: "WITH THE HARVEST!" dad said and I turned towards iris who was scratching her head with a sweat drop.

: "hehehehehehe I guess I forgot a little bit about that hehehe." She started to walk out of the door to my room.

: "YEAH COME DOWN DEMON, AND GET THOSE YOUR DEMONIC LITTLE HANDS DIRTY HMMM YOU HEAR DEMON." I could hear my uncle ranting my name up to the heaven and hell was it annoying.

'HAHAHA I LIKE THAT GUY HAHAHA' death said why laughing.

: "y-yeah I'm coming!" I shouted back at them, informing them that I am on my way so that my uncle will shot up.

Time skip:

: "<sigh> I'm here okay, so keep your shirt on will ya." I said why coming out to the farm field and man was there a lot of things to do.

: "oh I see that the demon has finally showed his presence." My uncle walked towards me while looking down at me.

: "I guess that people lose their minds right after drinking and it seems that I can already see one right in front of m- OUCH!" I got hit on the head by uncle SUZOKU.

: "watch your mouth demon!" he shouted at me.

: "then why don't you close your mouth then pervy ape!" I said in anger, as me and him started to give each other death glare.

: "come on, why can't you guys not just get along huh, so that we can get to work." My dad said with a face palm and started to bring tools for the harvest.

: "<grunt> fine… but I still think that he is a demon." Uncle Suzoku said while getting his own equipment for the harvest and started to head towards the field.

: "sure, right back at you pervy ape- ouch! <Grunt>… fine dad" after I got hit in the head by my dad, I just took my own equipment and headed up to the field.

Time skip:

'Man this work is more stressful then that of my trials at limbo…. Carry me away death.' I sat on the ground due to exhaustion.

'UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T <SIGH>' death said in mind.

: "giving up already huh, waiting for your lackeys to come help you do all the work heh, little demon. Well don't bother" he continued to harvest alongside my dad, who kind of look….. Worried of something and I think I know what that problem was… I can already sense them coming towards this direction.

: "<sigh> there back again… okay I guess that is enough harvesting for today, iris dear please take the equipment back to the shed and go stay with your mother okay." He said with a serious tone and iris returned the equipment and returned home to stay with mom.

: "damn it. speaking of devils, here they come." My uncle said in disgust, as I could see some group of knights heading this way towards our field.

: "yeah no kidding." I said with disgust and was glaring at them, as my father had walked up to them.

: "how may I help you gentlemen. I hope that we haven't caused you any problem." My dad said in a stoic tone and expression but still had some respect for them even though they don't need to be respected anyways.

: "there's no problem we just came to tell you that you still haven't pay last week tax and now you have to pay for this week tax. So if you don't want any problem then I believe you know what to do." The head knight said with a malicious grin, as he was now showing of his sword and this just made my dad angrier than before.

: "I'll give you your tax…. Just don't ever threaten my family again." My dad said, as he was about to walk away but then suddenly the head knight had grabbed my dad's I'm with force and this just angered me even more.

: "if that's a threat hahahahaha then you better watch your mouth human, but I guess I need to go, don't want you to go corrupt and then kill me hahahaha." He said and had tightened his grip on my dad's arm but then my uncle had grabbed the head knight's hand.

: "hey, don't hold my brother like that, he did say that he will pay you. Didn't he?" uncle suzoku said trying to calm the situation down but instead was kicked in the chest away by the head knight.

: "don't hold me, you livestock. Anyways I will be expecting the tax…. Or else." He said and had started to walk away, as me and my dad went to aid uncle suzoku.

: "are you okay suzoku." My dad said in a worried tone.

: "yeah yeah I have been in worst states <grunt> those devils think they rule the world." He said in an angry tone and got up to his feet.

: "<sigh> I can't take chances. Dante I want you to stay with your mother for now, me and your uncle will handle the farm, okay. Come on brother let's finish the harvest." My dad said and my uncle nodded in response, as they both started to get back to harvesting.

: "sure dad." I started to make my way to the house as I saw my big sis and my mom waving at me with smiles on their faces.

: "I can't lose them." I said as my mom and sis had hugged me and asking me where is my dad and I told them the whole scenario that happened and then my mom had hugged me while petting my head and like that I hugged her back as I could feel tears threatening to come out of my eyes.

: "I'm sure your dad will find away." She said with hope in her voice.

'I won't make that mistake by losing my family….. again.'
