Ring, ring , " Hello " I answered
" Am I speaking with Zenrei Tanaka" a male police officer asked me on the phone
"Yes you are" I replied
" There was a car accident and we identified the victims to be Mr and Mrs Tanaka , am deeply sorry to inform you that both of them passed have on , am so sorry for your loss" the male police officer said in an empathetic manner.
We were supposed to celebrate new year together , if only I had turned down their offer to pick me up from college they would still be alive.
4 years passed and I graduated from college after working multiple part-time jobs to pay my tuition and settle my bills. I pushed all my friends away ,thus I became a aloner after all these years I still haven't recovered from the death of my parents.
I jumped off the roof of a building and ended my own life because I have had enough of the sorrow, the pain and the unending despair.
" Honey , tenmaru is so cute isn't he?, tho he takes after me" a woman with white hair and golden eyes wearing a gold and white dress said in a delightful tone
" Hahahaha, you are certainly right , lylia
he is going to make a great king one day" a man with black hair and green eyes wearing a red and black royal wear said in a calm manner.
" Huhhhhhh, what is going I thought I died,
Who are these people" I said in my mind
It turned out I was reborn as the child of the demon lord , Kasmel and his wife lylia.
When I turned two I was taken to the grand sage of the demon kingdom for him to appraise my skills and abilities, after multiple tries, it was confirmed that I had two common skills ;navigation and wood slicing, as for my innate ability I had none. To be frank, nobody needed to tell me that those skills were useless, I knew the moment I heard their names. I was the son of the strongest demon and the former commander of the angelic legion, how the hell am I so weak? , but at least I have a mother and father here , who both love and
cherish me so much, and I promised that I would try my very best to be useful.
At five years I found out that there were 8 main kingdoms including the demon kingdom in this world and the demon kingdom has been at war with the 7 other kingdoms for the past six years. This world was filled with a type of energy called mana which was the main source of an individual's strength, my mana
level was 10 but my mana capacity was limitless . When I turned 7 my parents introduced me to my tutor and trainer, who was the commander of the demon lord's army, Aspen.
Over the years Aspen taught me about the world along with multiple offensive and defensive spells , sword techniques and stances. He was indeed a man worthy
of his tittle " The all rounded master general" Even tho I wasn't showing any improvement he still believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself. As time went by
the demon kingdom began to lose more
territories and there was a severe decline in warriors due to unending attacks from the Zonac Alliance [a temporary alliance made by elves , vampires , dwarves , humans , Angels , dragonoids and elves to destroy the demon kingdom] .
And soon the only territory the demons had was the demon capital of Harken . The grand
sage ,volic, deployed a protective barrier and cloaking spell to hide and protect Harken from the zonac alliance.
" Tenmaru, I know your birthday is in 3 days time and I promise will be back before you
know it" lylia said in a shaken tone
" Papa is the strongest demon there is , don't worry am gonna wipe the floor with those bastards" Kasmel said with a confident tone
" We love you, tenmaru" they both said as they embraced me".
It was finally my 16th birthday , I opened my drawer and I saw a letter from my parents
" This is our birthday present to you , the sacred treasure of the demon kingdom 'the onyx gem', it hasn't been active since the era of the first demon lord 'Bal' but we hope that it will give you strength in your moment of despair "
" My lord , you must leave Harken now , the zonac alliance is on their way here" Aspen said in a disturbed manner
" How is that possible , what of mom and dad" I asked
" The king and Queen were killed and hung
Like trophies on the battlefield, I and volic will hold them off while you escape " Aspen said as tears rolled down his eyes
In that moment I was overcomed with an emotion I was very familiar with in my previous life , despair, just as I taught it all was over the onyx gem began to shine blue not it's usual transparent form.
" Demon scrum , surrender yourselves as slaves and we might consider keeping you alive " a human commander in armour said at the top of his voice
" Tenmaru you must escape now" aspen said bas he tried to drag me from my room
" Only cowards run and I am no coward, I am the new ruler of Harken , and I will not abandon my home , my people and my kingdom , let's go show those bastards the true terror of demonic determination" I said as I broke free from Aspen's grasp
" But you have no army and the remaining demons are demoralised and
badly hurt" Aspen said
" Then I will go alone" I said as I left the castle
"And I will follow you to the very end" Aspen said as he walked towards me
Have you finally chosen to surrender??? the human commander asked . We surrender to no one.
" Light those bastards up , Emile" the knight commander said as he walked away
" Supreme skill activate:Lightening calamity" an elven mage unleashed her skill at the barrier
" It seems you are in quite a pickle , nexus barrier" the onyx gem said as it took a physical form
" Why isn't that barrier broken " the knight commander asked
" They must have some how nullified my skill"Emile answered
" Am misha , would like to form a contract with me tenmaru" Misha asked as she stretched fought her hand
" Yes , I do" I replied
