Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Becoming King

There are two sides to the world, one side full of humans that are Hunters, Mages, and Knights and they are ruled by a Prophet sent by the heavens. The other side is full of Demons and Monsters and they are ruled by a Demon King. The first demon is the queen of demons with power derived from the darkness that surrounds her. After having two children and a family early in life, she finds herself in need to harness her power. As she goes to sleep to harness her power, she tells her beloved king to keep their children and love them always.

Many years later while the queen still slumbers, we find the king disgusted with the weakness he sees in his son, Yusei. The tyrant king, consumed with power, believes it is his power that keeps order in the kingdom. After already estranging a daughter for her overwhelming power the king fears his son's lack of power will cost him everything. For this disgrace the king disowns and exiles the adolescent Yusei for lacking in strength and power and presenting weakness in his dynasty saying, "I know you not, boy!". And so this story begins here with a young prince re-claiming his blood right.

In front of a castle made of fire and brimstone stands a man, with confidence and determination in his eyes. "Let's get this started," he said as he jumped into the outer castle walls breaking through.

Multiple guards are surprised and instantly taken back by this man. One guard shouts "Intruder!!." Another guard demands,"State your name," as he draws his sword.

The man scoffs and holds his arms out "Don't you recognize True Royalty?!" As one of the guards runs at the man, he is thrown into the castle wall, knocking him out.

A guard recognizes the man's white hair " You're the disowned prince."

With a cocky grin, the man with white hair shoots energy into the sky covering the kingdom in darkness. A lieutenant yells in a panic, "Ring the bell! We have an intruder!!"

"I'm here to take what is mine," the man said with a smirk on his face as he vanished into thin air.

In the main castle, the royal family hears the ringing of the bell. As the king inquired of the general, "What's going on?" A guard runs into the royal court shouting, "The prince has returned!!" The king demands, "protect the royal family," as the royal guard forms a wall of defensive magic.

A door splinters, as Yusei enters, "I'm home father!"

"You're no son of mine," the king shouts admittedly. The king orders the guards to attack the prince. "Your guards aren't going to save you this time father," as Yusei snaps his fingers and the guards fall unconscious.

The king draws his sword with anger, "So you think you are so strong now; You're still that useless kid I exiled years ago." As Yusei's eyes begin to glow, laughing he says, "I'm no longer that weak kid. I'm Yusei, the True Demon King."

Yusei disappears, then reappears in front of the king, grabbing him by his neck, holding him up in the air, "See how weak you are father. Now you know how it feels to be weak." As Yusei is about to break the king's neck, the queen shields her young son and yells at Yusei, "No!! Don't kill him, he's still your father!!" Yusei looks at this random woman that has tears running down her face. He threw the king to the ground, "I'm the new king now. I'm going to let you live, but you are now powerless in this kingdom."

"Everyone here that is claimed as Royalty… you relinquish your nobility. You are all now ordinary and if anyone has a problem speak up now!"

Yusei pulled the darkness out of the sky back, as he thought to himself, "Finally! I'm home, and I'm king, but I have to make sure I'm not like my father."

Few days later

Yusei sits on his throne as a guard runs into the throne room in a panic, shouting, "Your majesty, we have a revenant that demands to talk to you, he already killed a squad of guards!!"

The revenant enters with a cigarette in his mouth and with a big smile, then

Seething with rage says, "Are you the new Demon King?"

"Yes, I'm the new Demon King. What do you want?" Yusei said with anger in his eyes. "I'm Julius, and I'm here to kill you," replied the revenant.

Yusei and Julius both give off an intimidating presence to each other and as their energy collides, the whole kingdom shakes. "You may actually be entertaining to fight!!" Yusei yells with excitement and

stands up.

Julius yells as he charges at Yusei with his hand glowing with a bright light. Yusei dodges his punch as everything a mile behind him is turned to ash. Yusei grabs Julius' neck and slams him into the ground, then picks him up, punching his gut and throws him back into the ground. "He is very strong and he is just a revenant. Finally, a fight that's fun," Yusei thinks to himself.

"I heard you took the kingdom by yourself but I didn't think you were this strong," Julius says as he coughs up blood. Seconds later, Julius uppercuts Yusei into the air. "But I'm not a bitch. Is that all you've got?"

" I haven't even gotten started," Julius says as he spits blood in the ground.

As Yusei hits the ground, he coughs up blood. "Now this is a FIGHT!!!!!" Yusei yells as he gets up and charges Julius. Before Julius could react, Yusei grabs his face and slams him through two pillars as the roof falls in and Yusei throws Julius into the sky as hard as he could.

Julius opens his eyes, disoriented, as he starts to fall back to the ground. A huge black beam shoots into the sky, hitting Julius in the back. As Julius gets hit, he thinks to himself, "Is this it? Am I going to die again?? NO!!! GIVING UP ISN'T AN OPTION!!!!" Julius turns around and shoots a beam of light back, clashing with Yusei's beam.

As the two beams clashed, the world shook. The two beams disappear. Yusei kneels to the ground. "That was fun," he said as he passed out. As he fell to the ground, he couldn't help but think, "He's way stronger than I thought," hitting the ground, making a crater.

Three Days Later

Julius wakes up from being knocked out, "I've never been knocked out that hard before." He looks around and notices that he is in a cell, he gets up and tries to break down the cell door. As he hits the door, he is thrown back by a forcefield.

"We designed that cell just for you. Your sun magic is useless in there," the guard said as he lit a cigarette.

"Am I a prisoner now?" Julius asks the guard.

The guard replies, "Until the king says otherwise, yes you are."

An officer yells to the other guards, "The king is coming." The guards immediately stand up. Julius waits on his bed for the king to approach the cell.

Yusei stops in front of the cell looking at Julius with a smile. "I very much enjoyed our fight, I haven't had a fight like that in years," as Yusei sits in a chair. "So who sent you to kill me," asks as Yusei's face gets serious.

Julius replies, "No one sent me to kill you. I heard of a demon that showed up and took over our little kingdom and I assumed you were the one who killed my family."

Yusei stands up and opens the cell door. "I didn't kill your family, I haven't seen a human in three hundred years. I've been training to take back my kingdom as you see I have."

As Yusei sits back down, Julius says to Yusei, "You're not the demon that murdered my family," As he falls on his knees with tears in his eyes. "Is he even alive anymore," Julius says, hitting the ground multiple times.

Yusei picks Julius up off the ground. "I'll help you find this demon. I would like for you to become one of my generals," Yusei says with a smile. Julius wipes away the tears, "It would be a privilege to be your general."

A guard hands Julius some clothes to wear while his clothes gets washed. Yusei starts showing Julius around the castle. As they walk around the castle, Julius notices the room that they fought in is already fixed. "How did you fix all this in three days?" Yusei replies," The royal guards can fix almost anything that is broken."

One of the guards whispers in Yusei's ear. "I have to go but, walk around the kingdom, get to know the people; you don't have any duties today," Yusei says to Julius as he walks away.

Julius walks around the kingdom looking at the beauty and talking to people. A man bumps into Julius. As Julius turned around he noticed the old royal family's crest. "Are you part of the old royal family?," Julius asks as he grabs the man's arm. "Get your filthy hands off me, I'm the king," the man yells in anger.

The man walked away from Julius offended and not caring who he was.

Chapter 1 END.
