The Demon King Has Returned!

Upon a dark castle residing in the middle of nowhere. Demons gathered at every corner. May it be inside the castle or outside, demons were everywhere with their stares out for blood.

And at the throne hall inside the castle. There sits a majestic being in the cold throne, with legendary demonic entities resting upon his hands. It was the current demon king, Astaroth.

He was the 541th demon king ever crowned. However, unlike the norm. He was neither a demon or a dragon. But a lower species called humans.

Resting upon his right hand as his cold stares gleam a hue, was a diary he's been carrying with him from the start of his journey. His eyes were filled with loneliness, and eternal bitterness. At last, he's finally come to his final destination.

Astaroth flips through his diary from the very beginning and begins reading them. It was a long and tiring journey, but finally, he got through its end.

Everything was written in a language neither the demons around him can read, but something only he can. Somehow, just looking at the writing makes me smile a little… His long road is finally ending.

"Ang Aking Diary"

It was written in a filipino language, which says "My Diary" in English.

[Day 1 - An accident happened to me just before this day. Everything feels like a dream. All I could remember was going on shopping with my younger sister and suddenly, I had blacked out and now arrived into this strange place. This place was neither earth nor any other places on earth. From the structure alone which feels like it all came out of a medieval age, something that's been over for centuries, made me come into a theory that this might not be my world. I could definitely feel how gravity pulls in different directions unlike my own world. Breathing itself feels like it gives me asthma.]

Astaroth flipped through half of the book and started reading the context with dark gloomy eyes

[Day 952120 - I have lived for centuries but never aged or changed appearance for some reason. I have finally proved my theory and now I'm confident that I'm in a totally another world. So far, from what I have observed. This world was so different from mine.

This world only contains a small amount of humanity. However, everything was like a tale. Demons, Orcs, Dwarfs, Elves, they all existed for a very long time in this world. And at the pinnacle of races, humanity was considered the weakest amongst all the races.

There were some remarkable humans who were able to surpass the strengths of demons and other strong races and stand above everything however, since humanity's lifespan only lasts for a hundred years at most. They were all forgotten and became a myth.

It was still a mystery why I never aged. Even though hundreds of years passed, the reason why I always stayed young and a few remained a mystery. I fought monsters and learned how to defend myself, although somehow, I've gained a regeneration ability after eating demons, I'm growing each day, learning new things—]

Halfway through reading the diary in his hand, Astaroth stopped reading and closed his diary;..

The time has come for everything!

All his sufferings will finally come to an end.

Astaroth stood up from his throne and glanced his eyes to the beautiful lady standing at the end side of the throne hall.

"Are you sure I'll be able to die and be removed from existence on this one, Maryil."

The beautiful lady cloaked in all black lowered her head and kneeled to him before answering, "Yes, my lord. Your immortality wouldn't be able to handle this one and finally you'll die like you have always wanted."

Somehow, hearing that made Astaroth happy. Ever since devourings a millions of demons, Astaroth gained a way too overpowered regeneration factor. Even losing a limb and half of his body only takes him a few seconds to heal. Which makes it for him impossible to embrace death.

Astaroth wore a satisfied smile over his bitter eyes and climbed down from his high throne.

"You can now get up. Lead me to the place. To the never ending abyss, final room."

The beautiful lady in all black nodded her head and stood up.

"Yes, my lord."

****

After a long tiring work, Hayla finally got off from work. It was another long day for her. Although repetitive, Hayla had no choice but to keep working.

Hayla neither has a husband nor a family of her own. Since she was always too busy with work, she nevers bothered looking for a husband. Her family was away from her work and house, so she only got to visit them every day offs.

Hayla let out a long sigh before staring up to the sky.

"...Aahhh, just when all of this is going to end."

Day after day, it was a never ending work. Eat, Go to work, Sleep, Repeat. Her life was so boring to the point she even questioned what's keeping her from waking up.

Hayla let out another long sigh.

Somehow, staring at the sky seems so peaceful for her now. The usual insane stuff that happens in her everyday life doesn't seem to be active right now. Or so she thought, until…

Hayla finally glanced away from the sky and focused on the road. And that's when—

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA RRRRG HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

An ear screeching scream rang out of her ears. It was as if some random suicidal guy jumped off a building and screaming on top of their lungs.

"MOVEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! PLEASEEEE MOVIE AWAYYYYY!!!"

The voice of the man seems to be warning someone to move away. Hayla scanned her surroundings but couldn't locate the presence of the man in question.

"AAAARRGGHH!! FRIGGIN DUMBASSS MOVE AWAYY!!"

Hayla looked up into the sky, only to see a silhouette of a man falling down from the sky. Is it a bird> Is it a plane? No, Hayla could immediately tell, its some crazy suicidal man doing his usual job.

Like a tired old man, Hayla let out another long tiring sigh.

"This infuriating thing never ends…. Even during my break… Oh my freaking God… Give me a break."

Hayla started to look serious as she whispered something along the silent wind.

"Haste…"

And like a bubble, the silhouette of her shadow disappeared without a trace. Before everything unfolds in the eyes of a normal person. Hayla had already saved the guy falling to his death, and dropped him on the ground with an irritated look.

"JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING??:

Hayla's usually calmed demeanor was now gone. For once in a while, she's letting the steams off. Something she usually won't do.

However, contrary to her anger. The man in question was…. Crying..?

It made her question if the guy's right on the mind. But oh well, he wouldn't try to suicide if he was sane from the first place won't he?

Hayla dropped another sigh before offering her hand to him.

"You okay..?"

Rather than paying attention to her, the guy ignored her and instead, stuck his face on the ground. That's not all, he even started sniffing the ground like a dog. His face was full of happiness as he did so.

'Is he someone who got away from an asylum??'

Hayla raised her brows and stared at the guy with a weird look.

And then all of the sudden. Out of nowhere, the guy suddenly shouted out loud while wearing a child's smiling face.

"IMMMMMMM BACKKKKKKKKKK!!"
