Fighting arena

The news about what happened spread quickly, but in the stories it was a demon that did this. Demonification was a well known process, it happened through the corruption of the world and soul. People who demonified usally gained insane abilities but died quickly or lost their minds. Most people assumed William to already be dead.

Of course that was perfect for William, no one would send their strongest people to look for a corpse. That way he didn't have to waste much time hiding and could immediately start the planning to avenge his parents.

You might think he was excited to avenge his parents, but he was rather annoyed. He wanted to do it when he was sure that he had the necessary strength. But now he was unsure if he had the ability to do it.

Atleast he had his abilities with the bow, or he wouldn't even try to do it. He would feel safer if he had the ability of the goblins to turn invisible. But it was an innate ability of them, so he couldn't learn it. It was a true shame, that ability would have made the entire thing way easier.

But he trained it together with his disciples, and he just couldn't learn it. So it seemed like it was an ability that only the goblins could have. He would of course try again the next time that he was in the goblin village. But for now he has to stay visible, he truly hated the idea of that.

He soon found the next city and entered and looked around. He couldn't take any of his weapons with him. So he had to get a new bow, without a bow his attempt to avenge his parents would be impossible.

Sadly he used to be a slave and didn't have any money. But that wouldn't stop him, he built himself a mask out of clothing scavenger from the fight. After and hour of searching found he finally what he was looking for, the fighting arena were people could challenge each other.

Real martial artists wouldn't fight in such a low level arena. So William wouldn't have any enemies that could challenge him. This would be the perfect place for him to earn money, he would beat up a few people and would soon swim in money. Atleast that was the plan…

But after he defeated his first few challengers in one punch, the arena was suddenly pretty silent. No one accepted his challenges anymore, he already earned some money. But he hoped to earn more, but now people looked at him as if he were some monster.

Yes they were right to do so, William wounded all his enemies in the fights. The strength difference was simply too big, and even with him holding back did there bones break. You could hear whispers of a certain name, "one punch demon."

But then a shout could be heard, "I accept your challenge, one punch demon," a giant muscular man said these words, he stepped into the arena and immediately attacked. But William didn't even bother to avoid the attack, something that he would gravely regret.

He was launched away and crashed into the next wall. If he were a normal human then he would be dead now, but thankfully he wasn't a normal human anymore. Still, he was slightly wounded after receiving such a punch.

He soon came closer to his challenger again, this was his first real fight. So he would give his all, but people seemed to be even more scared of him than before. It seemed his enemy wasn't a normal person.
