As I try to open my eyes after that blinding flash i find myself floating in the air, unable to move.
Trying to get a look around the dark room a voice pipes in m head "Welcome to Erusia"
"What who said that?" i exclaim in surprise.
"Why no one else but your summoner" then a glowing shape started forming in front of me, slowly turning into the familiar shape of the woman from before, but with less blood.
"Where are we? And more importantly who the hell are you?" i question her.
"As I've stated before we are in Erusia. That is the name given by the inhabitants of this land to this continent" she said gesturing into he darkness.
As I squint to try to see better thousands of lights suddenly flashed into existence below us.
"Woah" was the only word that could explain my reaction.
"All those lights down there are flames that represent every living person in Erusia. And every day hundreds are snuffed out of existence" she said frowning
"But why, is there something like a war with another nation or something?" I ask bewildered.
"A war, yes. But not war with another country, but a war with itself. Of the 5 races that dwell on the continent; human, beastman, avian, mer, and draconians. Each race had declared war on each other in an effort to have dominion over the realm. This has gone on for nearly a century. Without peace, the world shall shatter under the weight of their destruction and no one will even be able to live on Erusia anymore, and that's why they need you" she pleadingly said.
"Firstly, why do I need to be the demon lord and secondly, why does there need to be a demon lord?" I ask, afraid of what the answer might be.
"For the demon lord is but a title. We had achieved it in an effort to have the 5 races to band together against us. We have feigned raids and attacks just to antagonize them. Yet each country only tried to attack us by themselves. As you saw, someone succeeded in defeating us. And now, will you deny the people of this realm peace, even if it will make you the enemy of all the realm?" she ask as all the lights went out once more.
"Well, it's not like I have a choice anyway. So yeah, sign me up, I'll be your demon lord, though I don't know how you plan on turning a pigeon into a demon lord" I answer begrudgingly.
"Oh i have a few ideas" she said then everything was once again covered in such bright white light
