Chapter 5 - Search for Misa Part 1

Akichi ran around the village to search for Misa then stopped. She was too tired to continue with the search. Tsuki looked worried and held her mother closely. Akichi looked up and saw the Masked Man and took a step back.

"You are.. Akichi.." the man said and his cloaked flowed with the soft breeze.

"Who might you be..?" Akichi asked with a skeptical tone.

"My name is Kurai.." The man's eyes glowed purple.

"Kurai.. I've heard that name before.." Akichi looked at him with more suspicion. "Do you know where Misa is? She's like a niece to me. Today is her birthday and she isn't even home!"

"Misa..? She isn't in this Realm anymore." Kurai walked past her. "If you want to find her, your best bet is to look in the Human Realm." He extended his arm in front of him and created a portal and walked in then the portal closed.

"Human Realm..? I thought leaving the barriers of this Realm was illegal stated by the God of this Realm...Misa...please be safe wherever you are.." Akichi said.

Meanwhile with Misa, she was training to become a full fledged Dark Lord. Her first teacher was Lilith, one of the Original 10 Dark Lords. Lilith tried to teach her magic that was beyond Misa's level of expertise.

"Lilith, I can't control these types of magic yet..My elemental flow is not stable..Black Ballista is impossible for me." Misa sat on the ground and looked up at Lilith.

"I guess you're right. Well let's start with the very basis of being a Dark Lord. Monster Eggs." Lilith said.

"Monster...Eggs..?" Misa tilted her head, visibly confused.

"Yes, hatching monster Eggs are the very basics of being a Dark Lord. Follow me, I'll show you the the Monster Merchant." Lilith walked out the training room.

Misa got up and followed Lilith to the Monster Merchant. It was a small devil with red hair and tiny horns who ran all the shops in the kingdom. They even appear for the Dark Lords on certain days. The shops they have are Facility, Monsters, and Equipment. The three basic shops for any Dark Lord.

"Here it is! The Monster Merchant!" Lilith smiled. "I spend at least 600 Gold a day getting the perfect monster for my army. The monsters you get disappear after you either complete your task of destroying worlds, die, or withdrawal."

"I see. And if we die, we can Rebirth?" Misa asked.

"Yes, but you lose all your abilities and any equipment you may have had on your person. The only thing you keep and gain are the magic skills you learned and you gain special currency called Abyss Stones." Lilith pulled out a scarlet red stone. "These stones are valuable and extremely rare. That aside, go ahead and buy a monster egg. It's only 60 gold."

"Uhm..I don't have any. Where I'm from the currency we use comes from paper called Dollar bills.." Misa looked at Lilith.

"One Dollar is the equivalent of 450K Gold. Unfortunately, we don't accept dollar bills. We have a currency converter in the hideout though." Lilith looked at Misa. "Follow me." She walked back to the hideout.

Misa followed her once again and looked around. She had grown accustomed to the new land she was brought to. At first she was skeptical about living with the Dark Lords, but soon became friends with them all.

Meanwhile at the Phantom Realm, Kurai appeared before the Phantom God and got on one knee. He closed his eyes.

"My God, Everything is going according to plan..Misa has been sent to the Human Realm as you predicted..as for Yuto and Akichi..they are searching for Misa..one with the intent to kill and the other extremely worried." Kurai reported.

"I want you to go to the Human Realm also and seek out Misa. Once she becomes a Dark Lord, her power will be useful to me. She's been trained by Lord Uroshi and Lady Kazumi..her power is unrivaled.." the Phantom God said.

"As you wish. I may need back up..the Dark Lords on the Human Realm are all Transcended..meaning their power matches the power of Prime Chaos before being sealed. He was one of the greatest threats to the Realms." Kurai said.

"Take my two Disciples...Urias and Yllesa. They are capable of killing the Dark Lords." The Phantom God said.

"Thank you..I will take my leave now." Kurai stood up and made a portal and left through it then the portal closed.
