Austin stood up from beneath the rubble he was in. He looked around and saw the dwarf who was laying on the floor. "Hey dwarf," Austin said as he ran over. As he ran over he slowed down before turning back after on seeing the bottom part of his body was missing.
The demon king sat on a wall with a giant hole in his chest. The hole was so large that Austin was sure a child could squeeze through it. Austin walked over to him and kneeled next to him. He could see him slowly breathing despite having no lungs, how? Austin did not know.
"Hey... what is going on?" Demon king Malekith asked weakly. "Why is my hea... healing not working? Whhaat... Diidd... u... doo?" his words were slurred and were not coming out smoothly.
Austin removed the clip from his rifle and pulled out a single bullet.
"These bullets were made especially for you to counter your healing. They contain a special agent called double 08. Practically what it does is, it destroys any platelets and red blood cells and slow down your healing until finally your body is destroyed."
Malekith stared at the bullets in the clip before groaning. "By the way, do you know how I can get back to my home planet? I was told you would know."
"Theeere... iiis... no way back home... Those idiots tricked youuu... like they diiid meee." Malekith coughed out a huge amount of blood which Austin dodged.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I'm from earth as well, they told me if I killed the demon king then I would be able to go back home but there is no way back hooo-"
Malekith could not even finish his words as he took his final breath before passing on.

Austin waved the system out of his face and grabbed Malekith by the shirt collar.
"What do you mean by that?" he asked. He frantically shook him but no matter what Malekith's eyes would not open. Whether he was slapped or punched he would not wake up because death had finally claimed his soul.
Austin stood up and walked for a while searching for something until finally he found what he was looking for.
Esther, the woman with the long swords who he pulled out a gun on yesterday lay on her back. Her arms were cut of and her armour was in tatters. There was blood everywhere and one could only assume it was hers. Her eyes, ears and nostrils were bleeding and her leg was twisted.
A sword was plunged into her abdomen.
Austin got on his knees and picked her up putting her on his lap.
"Hey..." he said soothingly. Esther's eyes fluttered as blood came out of it. She reached her hand out and touched Austin's cheeks.
"Austin... come closer." she whispered. "I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Austin asked as he drew closer to her.
"Closer..."
Austin drew closer.
"Even...more closer..."
Austin placed his ear next to her mouth.
"I... love..."
"I don't care... listen before you die I need to know, is there a way back home for me? How do I get back home?" he asked. People would think that Austin was being heartless but he actually was not. He just had priorities than having a woman who hit everytime that she undressed in front of him and then hit him confess her love to him. He had a lot of things to do and he would be damned if he did not make use of her final words. If he listened to her and then she died he would only blame himself for not asking. If she told him there was a way back home then he would not lose hope and go back to the kingdom and ask the king. But if what the demon king had said was true then... Austin did not know what he would do.
"Austin... I lov-"
"I don't care... tell me how do I get back home? If you tell me I can give you a mercy kill."
"I love yo-"
"Stop wasting your breath and tell me HOW DO I LEAVE THIS SHITTY WORLD?" Austin finally snapped. He had enough of this. For 10 years he had to go around solving problems, helping weaklings, saving the many countless princesses that for some reason were being chased by either bandits, monsters or both. If he could finally get back home to modern civilisation then he would elated beyond imagination. All those years would pay of. All those years of setting up the identity of a hero by helping old ladies, feeding needy people it was all for this. To get back home and finally watch some tentacle hentai.
"There isn't... a way..."
"Huuuh?" Austin's expression changed from desperation to devastation.
"No...way... home." Esther whispered. She was smiling as she tried to pull Austin's face closer to her's with her lips pursed for a kiss.
Austin let go of Esther and stood up. His whole world came collapsing down. What was he to do in a world such as this? There was nothing. Austin did not know how he survived in this world without technology for 10 years but it had taken it's toll.
"I need a drink." Austin said as he staggered into the castle. He stared at the demon king before dragging him by the leg. He climbed the stairs and went to the room where all the alchol bottles currently were.
As he walked up the stairs the paintings started moving and shouting. They banged on the portrait as if there was a barrier of glass preventing them from coming out. They let out shouts and screams of what Austin could only assume anger.
Austin sat down on a chair behind the table that was filled with bottles of alchols. He picked up a glass and poured several different drinks together. Austin did not know what the concoction he just made was but he knew it was strong so he downed it and then poured himself another... and then another... then another... then another... then another....
